6:03 pm
israeli flags inside the acts that most compound. it's an unusual scene that provoked anger amongst palestinian worshippers. they see it as part of a group effort to change the status quo. islam bird holy a sight. and some jewish worshippers also prayed at the most compound violating and long standing agreement in place since 967. they are allowed to visit the area but a bod from performing any religious rights. meanwhile, palestinians have been holding a counter rally in ramallah in the occupied westbank. hundreds have marched, holding palestinian flags and chanting slogans. and these are the live pictures we're seeing right now from a neighborhood in occupied east jerusalem. where is ready forces currently confronting palestinian protest because they were raising the palestinian flag.
6:04 pm
well, we are well across best human al said is life for us in gaza. we also have nita in for him in ramallah. but 1st, let's go live to him, ron khan, who is right where it's happening in occupied east jerusalem. emron. so we touched on it briefly. they've already been skirmishes today ahead of the march. tell us what's happened and what is happening now. ah, well, the marches are now coming in to damascus gate. this is where we're broadcasting live from that coming in to the old city. this where the study study stream of them coming in for a long time. now a good few hours. also, i've been israelis who have been pushing into the journalist. they've been insulting the journalist actually including cooling us, terrorists and the police. i've actually been pushing the way. did you see that this is the kind of seeing this happening now?
6:05 pm
the police are actually pushing the pro just as a wait, it's a very young crow, actually reminds me of the atmosphere that you might get a football match, something that could turn violent and the 2nd that have been cautious inside. throughout the day, there's been cautious in occupied series live and development. i'm so sorry i'm in so who didn't street as well where and then at least 30 people a bit arrested. but there is of nice security operation underway. it. we're talking at least of $3000.00 is ready police on the streets. m are on the route. the marches on taking today is very contentious. talk us through that route and why that's the case as well. there's a young man who knows us that he saw his cellar, briggs, the fact that this is a city that you're to, but he's been filming me throughout. and he's been saying this is actually occupied you through this is not occupied at east jerusalem. so that's the kind of thing
6:06 pm
that we're hearing from people that this is a kind of a unified celebration. however, the palestinians see this as an absolute provocation. this we can get into that in the mornings. they see this is a publication. now the march is under, like i said, is in 2 places jeff again and damascus gate itself. so that now in it, they're going to go past the alex about. that'll be a flash point. that will be something the hamas will be watching very carefully. if there's any provocation that i might have already said that they will try and react reedsville and ron, we just, we just lost him in the shop. but we saw a member of the israeli army that you talked about the extent the large extent of the security that took us through exactly what they've been doing. you said a number of palestinians have been arrested. what exactly, what exactly is the situation there? well,
6:07 pm
there are several check boys across the city. they close down the entrances in to the old city that no allowing palestinians now are allowing all of these people who want to celebrate to come in. the police brought here is very typical of what you might say that pushing people away. we're getting to place a journalist, book in palestinian areas, palestinians, the tactics are a lot rougher arrests are being made. they all are going in and they using to using strong relates none of that. we've seen here. this is very much a try my crowd control situation, whereas in the palestinian areas we see this countless times doesn't matter whether it's a demonstration or the protest or black box like this. any time the palestinians involved it gets very brutal very quickly and a lot of caution is breakout, but just take a look here. they're actually defending the general so they don't want escalate in that manual.
6:08 pm
okay, well thank you for the iran con, there for us. inside the, the are the most compound. we're looking at live pictures. from nablus. we can see a smoke billowing that we have corresponding need. abram in ramallah, in, in the occupied west bank near the can you tell us what is happening? do you have any idea how you would explain that smoke? dozens of protesters with gathering heat at the menorah squid and central at mullah and many of them have took 2 at close by and digging his weighty settlement cold bates l, where they would marching, carrying their palestinian flags. and usually this is a confrontation point between palestinians and the israeli army that often as they are to protect the illegals,
6:09 pm
already supplement and subtler is that are living there as well as there is a permanent military tower, permanent israeli military presence in the area. let's not forget that this is a reminder of what occupation is with are better. you go in the occupied west bank just maybe 10 minutes away from the city center. you will see the elegant israeli settlements, the flags that military chuck coins, soldiers, the term lining your life, to where to where you can go, where you can go, and many people get even shots there. now we know that there are confrontations, no ongoing between the palestinians. and these radio army, we don't have a count of how many palestinians with injured, but we know that that have been injuries because the israeli army is using rubber coated steel booth at tier gas as well as live ammunition and stun grenades against the palestinians who are there remember, most of these palestinians are armed. if not all of them, they sometimes throw rocks. others, we've been seeing them using some sorts of
6:10 pm
a molotov cocktail, throwing it at the army. but we know the army is immunized. they have weapons, they have live ammunition, they often also bring a truck that sprays people with very nasty smelling water. so there are so many ways that we can see that the oper ha hand is with the israeli army. and the only that we often see palestinians gets attacked by israeli settlers israeli settlers. we've seen a on in jerusalem now being heckled or being annoyed. let's say by one of the is ready and protesters. this is not something new for palestinians, for journalists also coveting the story. just more than 2 weeks ago. we also lost our beloved colleague sitting a block list. she was killed by israeli forces by to wife trying to tell the world the palestinian story. and what's going on with palestinians?
6:11 pm
nita, have we heard anything from the palestinian authority about what we can possibly expect from them today? any reaction from them today? we know there is a very unhappy about the roots that the marches will be taking it through the old city today. what can we expect if anything the palestinian authority has been clear in condemning the current protest in jerusalem. we've heard from the palestinian presidency spokesperson nebula, but they know who says that israel is playing with fire. he says that the holy sites in jerusalem, they slept mac ones, and the christian ones are palestinians and that occupied east jerusalem would be the eternal capital of the palestinian people. we've also just received a statement from the foreign ministry saying that israel's should shoulder all responsibility of what happens as
6:12 pm
a reaction to its publications and occupied east jerusalem. now, people in the occupied west have been saying for years now that these statements are not enough to curb these really violations, these really raids almost on a daily basis we see is really for us is raising different cities, arresting people are shooting and killing them. so for palestinians, they feel that they are helpless, that they are left for confronting these radio occupation, the armed soldiers, the armed settlers on their own. so there are a lot of people who are saying, wait a minute, these statements are not new, they're not enough. they're not going to curb israel, but when we talk to palestinian officials, they say they're listed in our hands that we can do. you're, we're committed to the peaceful resolution of the conflict. we want to have 2 states, side by side that we want to reach that to diplomacy. but it's obvious that this
6:13 pm
diplomacy is not working. we're seeing the situation escalate on a daily basis. and now with this process, we're expecting it to even increase for ration and anger among palestinians even further. i don't know if you can hear that our sounds, if palestinians marching here in downtown law, they're not large numbers. 5 because many of them have read the marks and went ahead the words, the league, and it's really such a mint of bits l. but we are seeing theoretic people, continuous gathering now, here and did tell us thing in passing logan saying that it didn't in saying that people all across the occupy bag from grandma to do need are one nation. they want to keep resisting and fighting against the israeli occupation. nita, we're just going to return back to those live pictures from nobliss where we can
6:14 pm
see some of that black smoke ongoing. we know palestinians as you've been saying, holding counsel rallies in the occupied west bank hundreds have been marching, holding palestinian flags and chanting slogans. we don't exactly know the cause of that particular mode, but we know tensions are incredibly high on the day when these many alternation is when jewish groups, the holding the new flag march through the old city of jerusalem. and we are talking to me, the emperor him who is there for us in ramallah. knitted give it, give us some context here for people who perhaps are not following the tension between the israeli and palestinian situations so closely. there's been a build up hasn't for weeks now, even before our colleagues, sharina blackie was killed and took us through some of the background there.
6:15 pm
i just wanna mention that there are also confrontations on going now in nablus and to water. and it to give you a context of what has been happening and that street is a palestinian street. but as many places in the occupied west bank are, alliston is do not have control over. so they are known as idiocy. which means that israel has the overall control of the area. so it's an area that's usually just st of her water is used by palestinians and by israeli sat there is an over the past few days, we've been seeing israeli settlers going to the street and trying to remove the palestinian flags that palestinians are putting on the calls are putting them up. so that has been some sort of what's known here as the flag bachelor of the battle of the flag because palestinians see this lag as an important part of their
6:16 pm
resistance because it resembles sovereignty, a sovereignty that one the ground. they don't even have when we talk about the occupation, we are talking about people who do not have control over the resources over the lamb over the roads, even trying to build a house we. we meet so many palestinians who like to build for their sons and daughters when they want to get married on top of their houses. even that is really controlled. it's seen here by many palestinians as a way for is that it to make life so hard for them that they have no option but to leave. but the message here among spelled indians is that with the increasing is really measures with the increasing is radia violations. they are more adamant as fighting this radio occupation. they have nowhere else to go. this is their van and they want the occupation to end. so it's hard to put occupation in one live or
6:17 pm
explain it in a minute or 2. its imagine every aspect of your daily life being controlled by controlled by another nation that's considered your whole existence a threat. 6 ok, neither for now, we'll leave it there near the it for him. for us in the occupied westbank, we can now speak to you not outside who's in gaza. you know, good to see you now. it's worth highlighting that last year's flag march of course triggered some of the worst incidents of violence we've seen in years. and it led to that 11 day war on, in gaza. israel's was gaza. what is the mood that today? i mean, how, how people feeling is there worry that we could see similar attention with? yes, melinda, indeed. i mean, the most scary because this trip is very much tens. we've been hearing
6:18 pm
a warning message, even though i'm afraid i'm afraid. i'm sorry to interrupt you. we just want to return to all correspond emron khan, who is an occupied east. jerusalem, i believe have been some developments, perhaps more tension. talk through what you're seeing. ah, well, let me just show you what's happened. the marches of actually broken one of the core coordinates on coming from behind where the journalists all the, all the tree, thousands of people coming in. that's actually a couple are coming in talk you apply it to damascus gate. there's only a tiny space for them to get through. there's an incredible of is a danger of across here. there's like literally this one photo. one is where the police officer is going to guide them. actually in this was don't supposed to happen. the managers were supposed to come. 6 down those steps that clearly they're both frustrated. israeli police are just letting them and you can
6:19 pm
have a bug in going on. now there's still a lot of very angry ultra nationalists who keep pushing towards the journal. i keep pushing, i toss the police are trying to push them away, but the atmosphere is turning into something, a lot of bob and them before you can just see people coming in and actually shouting and screaming. we've been insulted several times since we've been so i stood out there so i'm not looks like it's going to continue. it looks like this is going to go on for at least another 3040 minutes. i'm just going to stop talking for a 2nd to give you an idea of how fault, but with these are the kinds of numbers we're looking at. now, according to media, about 25000 people have descended on this place. and now it's very much
6:20 pm
a child control issue is rightly believes all the money so. well look, you can see the short, like i said, just to be clear, we know that $3000.00 israeli police have been deployed to to this event, to the alexa compound and charged in the wrong one second moment. oh yeah, they are now trying to show lift gates. this is going to be this going to be interesting because now all of these people are going to be allowed through this lip. it's, it's wet, not be no talking for a 2nd while you watch these pictures. and now they've got the guy back on. well, if you believe the saying they, they shouldn't be here next to the people coming in.
6:21 pm
and so now they're surrounded the entire journalist a given that we have been post both have the skills going on. now the police are directing those areas of the ground to try and figure this all out. marleen, this is not even the police. no, well they do. so what is the worry here? iran? what do you, what is the, what is, what is the potential worst case scenario here? welcome to the work. the worst case scenario is a crush. right now we're, i'm in it full of these people suddenly lurch forward. it's not all the way there will be. of course, that's my immediate concern. much hold now though, is what these people are going to do. once inside, remember the root is finally allowed after many years to go inside the old city of damascus to buy damascus case. that'll take them policy alex,
6:22 pm
i'm most compelled. and it's at that point if any one of these and it's a young crowd look at it, maybe one of these kids decides to throw a bottle or do something that will be a flash for the other kids that are right now. this is simply a crowd control issue that the israeli police it to be losing control. i mean well, you can, you can see what, where you can see what we're looking at. we're looking at live pictures occupied each tuition at deep in the old, 50 at today is a flag march, which traditionally takes place on israel's jerusalem day where they celebrate the capture of east jerusalem. in the 1967, all our correspondent, enron khan is right. there right, in the middle of it all concerned that the police were the military are not able to
6:23 pm
control the crowd. we know that many 1000 we know that many thousands of people are gathered there for that march. many of them ultra nationalists, religious jewish groups are holding that flag march as i was saying, they also 3000 is ready. police that emron just checking that you are okay. you. okay a we're, we're absolutely fine right now. like you say they're all 3000 police, but they're on the streets of occupied the street level. let's do a quick counter where i 12345. i probably 79 police are hopelessly overwhelmed and these guys are now just moving in. if it keeps like this is not fair, of course i had earlier, hopefully is not going to happen. but just take
6:24 pm
a look around you. the numbers speak for themselves is when you police simply overwhelmed right now, i'm just hurting them into damascus gate. but once the inside that, that's going to be completely packed as well, you can't really see the ground. there's some steps that go into damascus gate. so they've got, they've now got to get them from here and the thousands of it. yeah, we could, we were getting a bit of a security control, we can see the many thousands of people as question a very small area. remind us again about the, the route that's been taken today and why, why that in itself couldn't pool well for the 1st time, in many, many years of our lab, the public security minister has allowed the marks to go into damascus gate into the old city. the route was like a place to stay just want to jeff a call from here. and here in damascus gate in damascus,
6:25 pm
go through the old city and also say they have to pass alex. and if anything happens that is going to be a flash point. and that was always the big fear of that. i have said that that morning when you said you were seeing the told us, but i really react if i, if they decide to react, then it was the israel has to react again. and that is partly the reason the cause, the 11 day wall on garza and mike. so this march last in turned bloody lot just in jerusalem. putting a large building to detroit, including with this simply name should not be on these writing. police said they were announcing
6:26 pm
like security operating but it was going to be. 1 something that they were going to be in control of, and as you can see, control isn't really the right word to use right now. around. tell us a little bit about the people that you've called previously about many of them being young. i mean, we can see that it looks like a lot of young men with who exactly are these people? i mean we, we, we've had them being described as ultra nationalists when it just jewish groups. what, how would you describe what you're seeing a national jewish religious group all my only know a lot of these people. i. 3 the people that live in the pipe was back in his rainy settlement in the occupied with affected fortress area where palestinians cannot go . there's different roads for these race looked up by the government. remember,
6:27 pm
palestinians in the occupied west by actually under military rule with settlers. now, the settlers from those, they're very, very few of them actually live in jerusalem. they had become a way of claiming that serenity occupied history for math. the reason they, they want to say to the palestinians of this area, this is hours. they don't know if it's occupied with the land hours. i'm not. now there is a minority. i'm very racist, very hard. a nationalist through a quite simply johnson racist slogans towards the palestinians. like i said, they've been insulted with that atmosphere and just get a sense of really the need that number the number of people that are there. and
6:28 pm
as a mom was saying, compared to the number here seems to be present. it doesn't seem to take quite less, less time with joining us. as you can see, we're looking at have pictures of occupied jerusalem as well to national spending just jewish groups to holding the annual client. it's an event, as i said, it happens every year, most israel and legal occupation of the area off to be $9.00 to $6967.00.
6:29 pm
what we know, this is some 3000 is ready to have been deployed to try and keep the calm. but as you can see, they seemed to have, at least from what we can see, a little bit of control over the crowd, many thousands of people and gathered there at all, correspondence iran con and like that right. then the thick of it iran for you is perhaps with joining us now. 1 you can see now it's described to us what's going on if you could just says that whipping what ended whipping pending on people coming over it's, it's this kind of thing that goes across a lot. actually my really, my real concern right now is this is the sheer numbers coming in. people now trying just straight out the same way. now it's not just young men or women or children or young children as well. that's a concern. the police. i mean, if we have
6:30 pm
a look, let me just talk to the police watch post. i seem to be just what's it doesn't seem like they're very concerned about what was in logic as gate was just a public safety issue. they didn't want these people to come in by this way. they wanted to funnel them in a way that they could control them. and that is no apple and that is a complete i mean, i have to say, i've never seen anything like this. unoccupied is through slip, but i will tell you this if this is palestinian, there very different story right now. the fact that these people is writing me that the police are trying to be much more gentle with them that we've seen. and we have seen classes today is the lighting st just over that. i know the areas of occupied east jerusalem, but now it's, it's less struggling. look at it now just struggling with the numbers of people.
6:31 pm
i'm going to pick you up on that point. you make about the double standards when it comes to when it comes to how the israeli police handle protesters, whether it be is raney's or whether it be palestinians. i mean talking a flag in the many thousands of flags meeting today, at least some of the palestinians who are arrested earlier today were arrested for how are they not the kind of thing in flag, hailey rule doesn't apply to the israelis. well that's the most interesting thing about this. if you pick up, you remember back to all the strain of a tough because the palestinian flag was there were just being pushed back again. because the palestinian flag was that if the palestinian flag is res. these ready police do go in and they do arrest. however, in march 2021 and israeli court ruled that it was perfectly legal for palestinians
6:32 pm
to raise the flag. however, that doesn't seem to be translated to the police. now the police seem to make their own decision on the ground sometimes will arrest people, but holding the flags. sometime on the right. now, like i said, so many people coming through here. what i've done now is they actually just what they saw, that allows a bit more space for these people to come in. but they're still, i mean nothing is going to stop them. these people are going to listen to anybody. they told me it didn't ask this guy regardless of any security that might be put up. and now we all talking, 3000 police of massive security operate. just take a look around. that's not the number where the thing is. that is why these people were able to reroute the demonstration of themselves. so i'm just checking around to see if we're safe. i think we're okay. i think what
6:33 pm
happened now is i got, you managed to coordinate the journalists were pending. and then now pushing limoges round into it, but quite a police are all in the to continue to move on. continue to keep moving. iran, i, i'm just going to interrupt you briefly. it's just with updating the audience that, that the tensions that we're seeing in this process for initial part of east to reach them a ongoing elsewhere. even in the past, in nablus for example, we're hearing now that 62 people have been injured in protest. we know that palestinians there in ramallah, in the occupied westbank as well, and holding counter rights. hundreds of people have been marching, holding palestinian flags and chanting slogans in protests as to what is happening
6:34 pm
here. this particular march that we're seeing in the occupied east jerusalem, where we're seeing many thousands of people. many of them offer national religious jewish groups walking through the city of old city and on march for the annual flag, march an event which they hold every year. and marks israel's illegal occupation of the area to the 1967 rule. less risk returned to emerson, con enron. and just remind us about the roots that was decided upon by authorities israeli authorities this year. why did they decide on such a contentious street, a route that they knew was content just because for the same reasons they, they prevented it from happening last year
6:35 pm
was simply put natalie bennett. but the problem is of his wrote, relies on a lot of people do i have right now to support him to vote for him? it's how it keeps the coalition together. a lot of these groups, if they didn't work, they weren't allowed to walk in through damascus. i simply would never voted for him again. that was the political decision on the roots itself, though i was supposed to not to be here is really police have lost control over the roots. the roots is now coming through this white, a little bit of stuff that is really placed on daughters a room that route. we would hope you're not out the window. everybody is now just coming in this way with the idea to go through that on politically speaking. about
6:36 pm
it once, want to stop them coming in this way because these are the people who vote for him . he's the people, but keith is very fraudulent. i am on for now. we'll leave it there. i'm wrong on that. first in occupied teresa, no doubt, we'll speak to him, ron again. for now, let's speak to mohammed ali, who was a lawyer at with an expertise on jerusalem. he joins us from occupied east jerusalem. firstly, i'm not sure if you can see the pictures, but i know you've been listening in to me and my colleague in ron con, about the situation ongoing in east jerusalem. the march, the marches which the roots, essentially as iran was saying, which is no longer as planned, the marches seem to taken control of the roots. how would you, what is, what is your reactions, what is going on there right now?
6:37 pm
i can hear i can hear that much from my office, but i can hear some shooting. i'm still here. i'm there and people everywhere in the running from the lease. this is a very sad day because it's a day we're by the patient is really the occupied used to center every day, every year this day. that's exactly what they come with 1000 from the spin. and so they come with thousands and thousands of thousands of babies and they come to the heart of the new copy about become to the heart of the old to give it to them and be march in the way in that way. that's basically. busy in the existence of binion and bad athenians are really great in their
6:38 pm
home in the need because they will be actually back either by the mom or by the maybe we've been and this year it comes out a lot of friendship that happen. it should be not why play and even prior to that and today we see actually at most of it been sion that we see here. i'm the channels that are being generated by what month, including i'm just like a better job. i'm. all of them makes me feel humiliation. they feel right about being violated being more why the more so by the way, mohammed you are
6:39 pm
a lawyer. so let's actually talk about the specific law. is that seem to apply to palestinians and not apply is really in the occupied palestinian territory. let's start with the flag. for example, the waving a flag when a palestinian raises the flag there more often than not. they are arrested. today we've seen a pro national israeli group inside the compound, raising their flags, which is highly provoke saved to the palestinians. but of course they're not arrested. what does the law say on that? well as well. but if you don't concern f bagley in the legal system doesn't configure, they look at the flag and that's such, it's consider the flag. we're going to believe it or not, but what but then they, the government organizations based on the federal law. and since then,
6:40 pm
this has to be changed even after the agreement was fine. but the government today and even after they're going to be a lot better for them. but they different people even been better, but bother change a little or to change that because above and below, before the motive made. and even though it is actually a criminal offense, the way that the only change that happened was given by the agenda saying that because of the changes on the condition of the no, no, not in the public interest in by the way that the big flag drum unit demonstration,
6:41 pm
or do they got why they had to be changed on the moon when they encounter or somebody that crazy. and they be ready violent panel or they tried to go to the bank to try, but i'm not giving out loud. i didn't think they actually make it what i mean brought is for me that the organ, i do not blame wave, but it usually goes getting station. so i'm going to go to the contrary to that inflection given by that for me. and again, that is bill,
6:42 pm
unfortunately i'm trying to weigh the 15 and that's the people different 1000000000 for living or before i still remember the shocking images of the members of the is ready army as tearing off the palestinian flag, which was on serene, a blacklist casket just a few weeks ago, completely unprovoked. let's take another example. for example, when you look at palestinian singing, the national anthem, this is, this is also provocative to the israelis. but today, as you mentioned, we've seen alter nationalists israeli groups gathering ne, the compound chanting. what can only be described as hate beach, i mean they're video for people to see on social media. this has been recorded saying things like death. your religion is garbage
6:43 pm
and so on. is there a law that protects palestinians from this booking? cuz they should be back to our demo behind the law existence as being it would be nice to use that or even more. so police come at the risk any anywhere that you've been in the area, not even too low. what i mean to be based on that, but it's been an agreement in all that part, it only to remain behind. so therefore to about it's up to the, to be up to the new person. if they want me to invite those people who
6:44 pm
are jumping, we're going to be with the gen and draw our expedient. we know that they are not being invited being arrested. the mac symbol that's done to them when they move the aim in show you only didn't really believe try to prevent them from doing so. and then after that, they give them some kind of an older preventing them from coming to the old city or are, should be fine days or weeks or so imbibed for taking them to jim and imprisonment. that's something that i'm head of. unfortunately, not in this much, not in previous march. i'm not any work. when you look back on the last 50 years or so and, and the successive israeli government,
6:45 pm
how would you say the rhetoric has changed on the issue of alexa compound and the status quo around it. and there's no doubt that the school is being changed at home many faces. but anyway, i'm doing back in a clever way. i'd be do that. he's really trying to the work that all the time trying to do that gradually to see what, what are the people who need to see what that action maybe the to more. but as a matter of fact, in changing wind in the only few and we're dumping so most toward the day we see the number i really know that is, i'm believe or why they were the only coming at 1030 today because i'm trying to
6:46 pm
great become i'm can become, i'm then mean, i mean use their religious to do their religion, which was inside of all something that is against even in the decision that they need in your government division from 6 to 7 to to continue the school. and i'm sure even that has existed for century now, when i looked up in the holy sites, then i'm only can re inside. i should have been trying to change that gradually without maybe making a big move about it. sometimes it's a legal decision by a judge in court as we are in the last month and be talking about that reaction by the philippines people by the jerusalem i
6:47 pm
why the why the war they feel bad, but actually for years and then they go back and they go back and they change as happened to the pigeon rendered by you, but unicorn allowing you one way or the other. great inside that that's, that's a great if i was be i don't be changing. it would change only worth more and more sac for the job. you mean you go to changing that afflicted government and they are asking more and more the change that that's that, that we have to remember that what we see a lot of most of them have actually community these, this is live proportion when there has existed such for the last 4 years,
6:48 pm
that's the same as the holiest play, and they have machine own of i love the most 11 be in the future, but have some people believed that was very, it was very, very small, but then i'm going every day i really appreciate your time, mohammed's lawyer, who is specialized on jerusalem, making sure that from occupied to wisdom let's, let's go to correspond near the emperor him and get it check up on the situations in, in ramallah and the occupied west bank that's. that's where need it is. but let's talk about knob loose where i believe 62 people have been injured. so far, you have the latest update from situation. we've seen
6:49 pm
a lot of black smoke. what can you tell us? we know from the red crescent that the majority of injuries are by suffocation of your gas. it's very, very heavy to guess that usually these radio army uses the rest of the injuries, breathing from this statement of there at present just in nablus. one had a city and was moved to the hospital after being shocked by live ammunition to his leg to people for actually were in by rubber coated shield, bullets and from different areas. do you remember we're not talking about one come from station point. we have the pictures from near the water checkpoint, but there are confrontations that are going on in several places, including the area of the shut off the area of beta as well as a water checkpoint. let me tell you that i don't in, at,
6:50 pm
around for water. the pictures where we've been watching it has been a point of contention between the palestinians and the israeli, who says there is a road that settlers is reggie settlers use, but also it's a palestinian road here in the occupied west bank. and it's been a point of contention lately because every time a palestinian tries to put a flag up there polls or up a building, they find that israeli settlers come later with their protection of these really soldiers to take that flag down and put these really flag up, i was coming this morning to irma lumpy and just away from the main city. i've seen hundreds if it turns if not, hundreds of israeli flags being put up. and soon as i entered the checkpoint that led me inside that i'm a lot. i've seen lots and lots of palestinian flags and this is an area that
6:51 pm
doesn't exceed 2 kilometers away. so it just gives you an idea that even if palestinians have some sort of control inside the city centers in the occupied to west bank, when you go away from the city center in drama, la enablers, and other places, you'd be surprised to see that the fact that israel deals with this land as if it, israel, if you are coming from abroad and you walk or take a drive through the streets surrounding the checkpoints, they're sorry, the legal tuckerman, you would have no idea that you are inside palestinian territory. so this is just to give you an idea that's just 7 minutes away from that distance. and sometimes even less palestinians find themselves in a different reality in a place that israel controls that has legal ready settlements that are eating up palestinian palestinian medicine. it gets taught
6:52 pm
a checkpoint wherever they go. so this is why we're seeing many palestinians sticking to this 3 today because they want to highlight the significance of jerusalem, the importance of the palestinian flags and the fact that they want to keep fighting till the end of the israeli occupation. ok for now. thank you, need abram for us can ramada and the occupied west? we're still looking at these live pictures of occupied east jerusalem. let me just tell you what is the alternation this religious jewish group holding that annual flag march today? it's a event that happens every national event which marks israel's illegal occupation of the area after the 967 move. we understand that some 3000 israeli police have been deployed for this event. but as we were hearing from our
6:53 pm
correspondence, iran con and little earlier, not that many israeli police visible, it looks like from what he was saying. the marches seem to have taken control of the march. they are going pretty much where they want to bring in my one. shara al jazeera senior, political embassy joins, is leih from london. i believe you can also see what is going on the pictures, the many thousands of people that have gather gathered and i wanted you to react to what correspondent among com is describing earlier that it seems as one standard fe, the israelis or these, these ultra nationalists religious jewish groups when it comes to the police. and another rule when it comes to the palestinians, it seems that no one is doing anything about these crowds. this is the match, is essentially the match is doing what they want. they all know that they're,
6:54 pm
they're making their own roots if you like. yes. yes, it's true, but that's normal. that's not news. this is the nature of things. that's how it should be under occupation. if we or any other news organization accept or expect that the israeli onward israeli police is a piece key part of between part of sydney's rainy's. then we are deluding ourselves and deluding our viewers around the world. this is an occupation army and it's job is double standard. it's job is to, to preston honest indians and empower these really radicals. that's it's job. this is the nature of the system for the last 70 plus years. and so then the last 50 plus years of occupying is jerusalem. this is what goes on and why? because this is the nature of occupation. and in a sense, this is not only
6:55 pm
a static situation, it's a devolving situation. it's an evolving situation because it has gone from bad to worse over the years. what you see in front of our eyes. now what our viewers are on the world are watching. i'm not simply a few 1000 people demonstrating. they are watching the future generation of israel . this is what is there a looks like a number a number of years from now? because if we look at the history would see that secularism and israel has been shrinking. and religious nationalism has been thrown authority. not only that in 1967, you would see only a few religious people in israel and there would be none. zionist, and you would see it, many, many secular people. and you would see them not that i'd nicholas like right wing zealous as we see today. but over the past, 50 years, more secular,
6:56 pm
people became religious and radical, and more religious, more religious people became political. and hence, what we see here today is the culmination of radicalization and feelings ation. and israel because of the occupation many of these are the secular on either giving up or moving away. or they are joining the israeli a right wing zealot governments. and that's why, and this is probably, again, should surprise. many of our viewers are, are the world, is that the israeli left, the presumably called progressives like the merits party and the labor party even set killers. parties even a small, insignificant muslim party. i'm joining the amended government and they are the ones who are enabling this to happen. so you can see that the religious zionist
6:57 pm
radical agenda is not only a governing the streets and the new generation was rain he's. it's also dictating the policies of israel. he government maron, let's, let's stick to the history lesson if you will. because i one you to explain the status quo how it came about where jews were allowed to visit the alaska must mos compound but not pray that that that was, that was only something for me. then how did that come about and why is the status quo changing? now? again, it's one of those slow processes that had been in parallel with the radicalization of politics and israel and the civilization of the political tracks within the government. but the most notable of all notable events in fact happened in 2000
6:58 pm
when area of shuttle and then wanted to run his an infamous israel, the general who was responsible for the massacre of countless palestinians. but at the end of it, he wasn't opposition. leader back in 2000, he decided to go or not provocative tour at ox, a mosque. and that provoked the 2nd intifada and basically led to the fall of the labor government under the hood block and to the victory of the shuttle government . which basically led to a political, political genocide if you were, and 2000 to 2003 against the palestinians, destroying all the popella cindy, the situations. but that became a catalyst. when you put a vocal, when you normalize the occupation and the thick or what of jerusalem, you do it. and i like so much. this is the best way to humiliate the palestinians, to provoke these raney's. and to basically prove that you are in charge. but the
6:59 pm
worst of it is, it's just like jerusalem is so important for the palestinians. alex, i so important for jews that i'm for the financing is on for the mostly more the large. so what these people are doing, the are playing with fire. this is almost, you know, i'm out of my gut then proportion. because you are provoking 1500000000 palestinians . why simply continue this continuously provoking their religious symbols. and alex, a mosque when there's absolutely no need for it whatsoever. because everyone understands israel occupies east jerusalem, is that insist that has the right to do this, and that is your home and include them. awesome, awesome. but the continuous provocations by those fundamentalists religious radicals enabled by the israeli army, enabled by the israeli government, that is going to lead a digital situation. last year it led to a war all to be it for 11 days. looking forward,
7:00 pm
this is going to look more and more dangerous because as i said, this is the future generation of his right i. which means that the next conflict of the concert after that is going to be communitarian. and what do we mean by community area? mean people against people because now that maximum distance between any ballast in yet and i need you, is something like 6 miles like think along might 9 kilometers, which means that noise, railey planes, noise early nuclear powers. no, israeli thanks, are going to be able to separate a radicalized palestinian population and are right, nicolai's israeli population. and it won't be just a clash of flags. it. we clash of communities, which wouldn't be disastrous for peace for security. and the one that will being for the people there and that's why everyone.
