7:00 pm
all to be it for 11 days. looking forward, this is going to look more and more dangerous because as i said, this is the future generation of it's right. and which means that the next conflict of conflict after that is going to be community theory. him. and what do we mean by community area? mean people against people because know that maximum distance between any bellis india and i need you is something like 6 miles like think a lot might 9 kilometers, which means that no israeli planes noise early nuclear power. no. israeli, thanks, are going to be able to separate a radicalized palestinian population, and are radicalized 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 has been asking and to end up
7:01 pm
provocation. and to separate the 2 in either 2 states or as equal in one state, but still stuffed up on a vacation to stop the discrimination. to stop there is racism and, and dr. zation and that's my last comment on this because this is very important. these young people, they look like, you know, in a normal situation that would look like a promising people right there. they're hanging out dancing, playing, getting flags. but this is a generation of indoctrinated young israelis who i've been taught to hate the palestinians to hate the arabs. they are almost genocidal in their education and their upbringing. and they want to take over all of historic palestine and they want to push the palestinians out. the believe all of his product by this time is there's, there is no compromise that they believe that god is on their side. they believe that palestinians are inferior and their, and their, and their culture and their nature on so on,
7:02 pm
so forth. and hence they will continue until some form of armageddon will come about. some form of major civil war will come about. and that will come about unless the international community steps in and do the right thing. do that just thing and occupation and then they'll part a state. ok. my mom, i'll come back to you in a moment. we've just reached the top of the hour. so let's just get a quick check in where we are. it is a little off to 16 gmc about 7 pm local time in east jerusalem. you can looking at my pictures clearly there is cale and a lot of tension. as ultra nationalists, religious jewish groups gather as they hold their new flag march. the events course marks israel's illegal opie. occupational theory off to 1967, move thousands upon thousands of marches. who clearly out number the police pass.
7:03 pm
now he's been deployed to control the crowd, entering the old city. we're looking at live pictures that you can see the many thousands of people this time last year, of course, the annual event triggered some of the west incidents of violence. we've seen in years out of lead to that 11 day will in the gaza strip. meanwhile, there will have been confrontations between palestinians and israelis, security forces in nablus. the city has seen some of the worst violence in the occupied west bank in the last week where 16 year old palestinian boy was shot in the head by israeli forces that on tuesday. we have plenty of correspondence covering the story for you. we have una alice by ad who's lying 1st and gaza knit a friend who is a normal fs. let's go live to iran. con hughes in occupied east jerusalem.
7:04 pm
took hyster exactly what is happening, where he wrong well in the last 90 minutes the march is basically you changed the route that we're going to take in the route. what though it was agreed with israeli police. they actually came through a barrier that had been set up to not allow them through. that meant that they must have been allowed through all the checkpoints is a number i took was around the city. they came in from behind a web camera amount of shoes in now and right in front of a pair where they continue to come in. that took about 90 minutes a one point that there was a real fear that there was going to be a wash. it really did feel like that sought to school place with such a massive amounts of people was simply going to fail. now we're talking about the numbers of israeli police, the wrong, sorry for crowd control. not a huge about that. you can visibly see hill, but a number of them actually trying to stop the vouchers from actually all get with
7:05 pm
the journalism. at one point there were marches who were just pushing themselves where i'm son by the journalist. i'm calling them towers. i right now there's a lot of pros jocelyne slogans, but we're also doing a lot of hate speech death barrels, that kind of things are going on very loudly. these people are now moving from hill . they're inside damascus gate where they walk down a to pass oxide down to the western world where they're going to gather these ready media reporter news about 60000 people on this. most us impossible to confirm and indeed we probably won't get a very accurate figure for at least 24 hours. but anecdotal, speaking just for wife and all thousands of people ahead and they're all more people that are coming in the number that we saw in the last 2 minutes. but certainly i significant number. now, if it passes without injury,
7:06 pm
if they will call and nothing happens, then that may well be a avoidance of any kind of escalation of this conflict. however, take a look at the crowd. a lot of these guys are very young. the very passionate, like very, very anti arab, they say that publicly ill is going to take is somebody throwing the bottle full, a palestinian to react to that. and then these railey police, once again have to move in and maybe even go inside alex the company itself have asked in the gaza strip. i've been monitoring this situation. they've been talking for days that if the occupied east jerusalem lights actually don't manage to be able to fight back. if that's the case, then they will intervene on their behalf. hasn't happened. a massive said very quiet during this month. she had so, but they will be monitoring list and that their reaction is going to be k. i k for now. thank you for that enron calling reference in occupied east jerusalem. let's
7:07 pm
go to nevada emperor him who is in ramallah and the occupied west bank. we were just talking in the last half an hour, so we know they've been palestinian counter protest where you are. number of people did in nablus. what more can you tell us? we know that there has been a fighting amongst, sorry. we know that palestinian fighters have shot to add these really soldiers that are positioned near the water checkpoint. that is man the why is read the soldiers? we know from our sources that the fighters have left the scene. this is you only armed, a confrontation, let's say, or armed a palestinian that we've heard about since the beginning of the proof this in the past few hours in different areas across the up your by just back. majority of palestinians are unarmed, but there are still being met with excessive force by these radio forces tear gas
7:08 pm
live ammunition, rubber coated steel, woods done. grenades have all been used in different areas in the west bank ad. we've got the latest from the red president about madness specifically. we're 52 palestinians where injured the majority of them have been injured by tear gas suffocation the rest where there is one live ammunition injury and for robert who did steal booted injuries amongst those. protesters were continuing to monitor those protests. we know that many palestinians it cannot access occupied east jerusalem because they need this specific israeli permit to do so. these permits are almost impossible to get for the majority of palestinians. so they are trying to show that they are with their fellow palestinians in occupied. these do so even if they can't be there physically, they're going to confrontation points with these radio forces that are existing in
7:09 pm
several places. if not every a few meters here than that in the occupied westbank. it hasn't been any more reaction from the palestinian leadership. i mean, we know, i know we heard from the palestinian presidency earlier. st. israel is playing with fire ahead of this march. tell us a bit more about why he said that and what else leadership have been saying ahead of this march. and let me read you a statement that was just released by the palestinian prime minister, where he condemned the fruit in occupied is jerusalem. warning of dangerous ramifications to this truth is to add to what it represents that love provoking the feelings of palestinians. and he said that the people in jerusalem are very brave. he says that jerusalem has been and will always be the capital of the state of
7:10 pm
palestine. he has an arabic face in arabic tongue. so there has been strong statements from the palestinian prime minister, as you mentioned, also from the palestinian presidency spokesperson, he said that israel is playing with fire. he says that the holy sides and you will send it whether they are christian or muslim, you will remain listen to me and it's called leg, jerusalem, as when you turn it in capital of the palestinian people. when he talks about it refers to with these jerusalem, of course. now all of these statements, when it comes to palestinians in the 3, they don't mean much. people say that they've been fed up by those statements that israel does not respect. they want action on the ground. if you talk to palestinians in several areas in the occupied west bank, they would tell you that their situation is going from worse to worse across or
7:11 pm
throughout the years. there are so many is really a violation. so many is really measures that are making life so difficult for palestinian with the message we've been getting reporting from so many places in the occupied respect is that people are not leaving. they said they have nowhere else to go. this is their home, this is their land and they want the world to help them and the decades long israeli military occupation. okay, knitter, it for him there for us in ramallah. thank you. let speak to you now i eat. she's there for us in garza. what is the mood there like, and is there any likelihood of military action from hamas, or any other palestinian with well, believe that there is a very weird silence that is going on in these moments in the cause. this trip everyone is anticipating what's going to happen. the factions have not stated anything in these last hours. we've seen
7:12 pm
a lot of the wordings anthrax during the day during the beginning hours before the march of the flags mortgage. excuse me, but until now and nothing has been stated on what is going on. one of the statements of henney, i earlier, he said that the, they're all options are available to confront at this flags march. and he was also betting on the confrontation of the people of jerusalem to the settlers added to their flags march. so the military or the either the launching of rockets is an escalating solution for the functions in gaza. but it is always left to be the last resolution. last year, this legs more it on the 11th of may, according of course,
7:13 pm
to the hebrew calendar, they changes every year. it was a, it was on the 11th of me. it triggered the 11 day war between the gods there and israel. it was the bloody score since the 2014, more than 260 people were killed over 2000 where injured many, a residential buildings towers and appointments and other facilities in media offices including al jazeera and the a p. offices were destroyed. so get to that point where a military respond is actually going to happen by the factions of godsa. we know that it is going to trigger a huge escalation. it's going to trigger another war. and honestly, the people hearing goals are not ready for any kind of war or even further military
7:14 pm
escalation that could take place. i mean, it's been a year now since the last war, but the amount of destruction that war has caused in a d. c. strip for more than 15 years now is enormous. the lives of the people have not even recovered a little bit of the houses and the residential appointments that have been demolished. only 200 out of 2000 that are completely demolished, has been reconstructed, while more than 16000 has been partially demolished, only 20 percent of that number has been reconstructed. so i am talking about a life in gaza. that pretty much hasn't changed a lot since the last escalation, and that's why the military solution here stays to be a very, very, a sensitive solution. when it comes to that,
7:15 pm
also the people here through the past week, they've been living intention. witnessing and hearing all the statements of racks and warnings. seeing international mediations trying to prevent this flag march from taking place or changing it scores and insisting off but the prime minister necessarily. bennett on the flags march on the same way on the same path and the same course. this is blood into a great and a white, most fear of tension here among the people, people hearing gods that have actually bought their food supplies, what they could buy from fuel. what? because they are also anticipating that it could lead to an escalation that would, any escalation or our escalation from god, launching a rockets. we know that it could lead to an instant response or military response
7:16 pm
from israel that could ignite another deadly war. and so these moments right now, as i speak to you, we have not witness to invest past our any statement from the policy infections. the last of their statements was that their joint hamburg is going to be a permanent assessing the situation. and it's going to be held and they are, they're had they have their hands on the trigger, and they're watching closely every development that comes and happens in jerusalem . okay, thank you for that una, i'll fight that for us in garza. well if you're just joining us, i think it's with just describing the pictures that we're seeing right now ultra many thousands of ultra nationalist, religious jewish groups on marching through the muslim areas in your richland,
7:17 pm
old city. it's an annual event. it comes at a time, of course, of particularly high tensions falling months of deadly incidence. the flag march itself takes place ever yet san israel's jerusalem day and as celebrates its capture of east jerusalem in the 1967 war. let's bring in our senior political analyst from our one sri. my one we're here again another year. not a flag, not. you only have to look at the pictures and, and listen to the chanting and it, and you can see it it's, it's so provocative, isn't it? for palestinians or yes, absolutely. and that's what the purpose of it all is. once again to insist that was what was taken by force in war. that has become a israel, legitimate ownership,
7:18 pm
or whether it is east jerusalem or the rest of occupied bunstein. now these are of course you know, specific i part of these very the society, the religious zionists that are designed this today more or less a quarter of these very the parliament. i think their percentage in the population in terms of the use are, is even higher. and i think in so many ways looking at their when you sion, of the religious right the misery over the past 50 years. you could certainly say that this is what we're seeing now is the future generation of israel. and now they don't have to all be waiting, keep power that you know, the religious symbol over their head. they could be secular, arrived the call and theological without being religious. but clearly this is the way forward. a quick look at the at these ran the parliament today would clarify
7:19 pm
and why this is important. we have a 120 seats in this area to parliament. we have thursday for that radical nicole in the government. so a liquid party. we have a 30 for the religious nationalist bought this as another quarter. and then we have another quarter of the right to extreme right wing parties. so imagine that 3 quarters of israel to parliament over 90 seats, either right, nicole, zionist, and religious or radical zionist. this is a long way from where we, where say, you know, at the outset of these are in the state. when labor was dominant for 30 years, the labor party which did, they only has 7 seats, only 7 seats in visiting your parliament, used to dominate these rainy political parties for 30 years. today. this generation
7:20 pm
that we are watching and all the screen, these radical zionist religious individuals who think all of bunstein is there's, it's god given to them. they have a racist join the side, the look at the palestinians. they view them as inferior view themselves as god chosen people and they think palestine all of it is yours as theirs. and if you listen more carefully to their social media and to their various forums, you would see them say things that are unsaid in any, in our normal country. because it is quite general cycle what they're quoting for in terms of the ethnic cleansing of palestine. so once again, what we see here now, it's not just simply young people holding flags and dancing. what we see are radical, new generation was ratings enabled by radical israeli government,
7:21 pm
headed by a religious zealots. cold bennett, who is far more radical, far more into logical than even binion. nathan yell, the prime minister, the 4th term, prime minister that was so radical that even the united states wanted to get rid of him. but now we have, at his reign, the prime minister, who is even more radical, more religious, more zionist, than his predecessor, basically dictating the policy of our government that has a good number of other parts, including even a muslim party. and that just shows you how radicalized is that our lives become. and how extreme is the new generation of israel. and i wonder if, if that's, that is exactly what we're seeing, being reflected today. i mean,
7:22 pm
we've seen images from this morning where members of these ultra nationalist, religious, jewish groups were walking into alexa compounds, praying, displaying religious national symbols, things that they're not allowed to do that the status quo has, has not technically changed, but they are doing it now as things that they, they perhaps wouldn't have done before. absolutely. you know, one of the things you learn being in the world of politics for so many years is that there is no such thing as law without justice. thus just no law at all. and what israel is doing in jerusalem and rest of palestine is not just it's racist. it's a part of paid according to at least 4 or 5 reputable international. and these re
7:23 pm
in the human rights organizations. ready it is a race, a system. it is a minute, their eyes occupation. it is oppression, repression, this possession of the palestinians. so to speak of law. in such context is really one is doing one south because when there is no justice, when there is not the absence of justice, one cannot speak really of law. so one could speak of certain arrangements setting understanding over what to do or what not to do say for example. busy on our locks a mosque, but even there this is ray, the government, unlike the previous israeli government, has basically turned its back on all the arrangements made by with that jordanians . what custodians. and with their panacea, national authority and with the palestinians in eaten is jerusalem. so basically this is where the government is trying to exploit the international attention to
7:24 pm
ukraine. they're trying to exploit out of weakness and appeasement of the israeli occupation in order to basically fully impose then control of occupied jerusalem. just like they are doing, imposing their thoughts on control, settling a legally invest of palestine. that's what this israeli government is doing. that's what one should expect from this a the government because it is governing or what and our automated system. the fact that when we look at this images, it looks as if there is rain to pony use or is there any military is separating between radical jews and palestinian residents? what in fact they are not. they are not part of the automated occupation army and they are enabling those religious zealots to do what they're doing. now if it
7:25 pm
wasn't for the israeli government, if it wasn't for the israeli military, this wouldn't be possible. so very spong submitted their lives with politicians, with these are in the government, they are the one water they've been enabling a new generation of israelis to think and the racist amanda that they are thinking about their neighbors, the palestinians. just religious indoctrination of an entire generation that's basically see their neighbors. i was inferior and that claim, so total control and ownership of a land that's basically not there. my one stay with us. i want to ask you about the responsibility of the international community. but 1st, we're going to quickly return to east jerusalem and get an update from our correspondent. enron con is right in the middle of those many thousands of people of iran and bring this up to date. what's happening where you are
7:26 pm
now, i'm afraid we don't have a moran con there, but while we, while we wait for him, ron, let me just remind you of what we are seeing. we're looking at these live pictures of occupied east jerusalem, where thousands of ultra nationalists, religious groups, a gathering, marching through muslim areas in jerusalem's old city. it's an annual event. it's flag day as cold, the flag march takes place on israel in jerusalem day to celebrate its capture of easter resume in the 1967 war i believe we do have him, ron con. iran not bring this up to date with the situation. the hey, well as you can see on these riley flag marches are still flooring in the else is he coding to these really media?
7:27 pm
we're seeing about 60000 people entering the own city. i just update you on what the route was supposed to be. that was supposed to come down those steps when it came to damascus gate and walk in to the old city. that way they didn't actually came through another way. these really a police opened up the check phones for them. they simply lost control of the route itself. and allowed them to basically come through here at one point. there was a very real danger of a crush that may have taken place. they pushed the barriers back and they managed to take some control, complete control of the situation. in jeff, again, more people been wandering in through that however, in the area surrounding it in a selected industry, which is only about 5 minutes. about wake up, austin has been clashing with israeli police as they've been stopped entering the old city. remember this? nobody's recent. a lot of them actually live in those areas doesn't simply start from going home. the march res, continue,
7:28 pm
they're going into the old city. now they'll have to walk past the alex up most there's a lot of young people. there's a lot of very halter national love there. these people are waving their flags. well, it's going to take, he's going to be a young kid to maybe throw plastic vocal towards alex that maybe for palestinians or react for things to turn into a real flash or. and that's always been the concerned. relevant groups have been watching this bar chief amongst them is a mass in the golf district. i must have said, okay, we're not going to react if the march goes peacefully through the old city and into the west will. however, if anything happens, yeah, lots of more than that is something that we're going to have to react to that and say, what that reaction will mean. remember, last year when things escalated at the alert, the most compelled it spot. the 11 day war on garza, one of the most brutal,
7:29 pm
bloody, was of recent years on gaza included the bombing of out, is there an 8 he's office as well. so that is a very real flash for right now. people are still coming in as you can see, nights about to full hit, but we don't know how long the israeli police will allow them to be here. we think for another few hours, but then they'll austin to move in. but this is completely different. who is ready? police trig palestinians like my one bizarre of g political and this was saying, you know, this is an israeli police, this actually helping their own population. and that's what their level then on a peacekeeping force, this is a nationalist force and that's what they're doing. that's their job. oh, them. when the policies are no occupation in either the west bank, well hey, in the west bank, they come on the israeli military law. and here they come on. the is running at least little so it's a very, very different law, very different standards as we've been talking about a marana remind 8th.
7:30 pm
what happened a little earlier today because they were skirmishes and those police, you're talking about those israeli pennies, arrested a number of palestinians. what did they arrest them for? hello. the full thought i was the guy who they were a number of oh, to national if you had they wanted into the old city, you'll see it was still open at that stage. the shops were open and people out in the streets and then there was wanting battle with palestinian youth. we don't know who through the festival he threw the 1st rock a wendy. what happened inside investigation is only going to be the only thing that reveals that however, we do know that there were very bloody clashes. the police then actually went in and arrested the palestinians. and not any of the elder nationalists who are here right now who are waving their flags, they were simply allowed to go back to what they were doing that's been happening throughout the day. at least 30 palestinians have been arrested.
