the west bank. ah, hello, i'm on the inside. this is out there a lie from day or so coming up. president joe biden arrives in texas to console a grieving town and the families of victims of america's worst school shooting. in nearly a decade, colombians version one could be the country's most significant presidential elections since independence. ah, it is a little after 17 gmc, that's a pm in occupied east jerusalem, where tensions happened. rising as ultra nationalist, religious, jewish group, all that flag event market. israel's, an eagle became occupational the area of the 967,

thousands of marches who out numbered israeli security forces deployed to control the crowds entered the old march began in west jerusalem and then split into 21 procession passed through jeff gate and then spread through jerusalem's old city, the other group entered via the damascus gates from that marches went through the muslim courses and they've seen on many as a provocation. all israeli marches about 16000 of them all at the west and was now where celebrations are expected throughout the evening. now that is a short distance from the alex and mosque, which for generations has been a constant point of contention in the palestinian israeli conflict. in occupied westbank, there have been confrontations this evening between palestinians and israelis. security forces in nablus, dozens of palestinians have been arrested. there were also confrontations in the

shake, zuraw neighborhood of east jerusalem, where many families that have faced a constant struggle to stay in the homes. many forced evictions have taken place there by the state of israel and the jewish settler violence against them has mass made life for them. very difficult. we can go to our correspond iran con in a moment. he is in ocoee potty tourism fast. let's go to need abraham, who's in bay tell in occupied west bank took us through the situation where you all needed me according to the palestinian red press and they've dealt with 100 injuries in the confrontations that are taking place in different areas across the occupies was bang 8 of those injuries where live ammunition that has been shot by the way, the army we've seen the use of life ammunition you're behind us when young

palestinians were coming here armed only with rock that we can say that they were even armed, but they were met with an excessive force by the israeli forces. live ammunition was use, your gas was used, which resulted in supplication of many palestinians also sung renee's as well as recruited feel bullets. we are seeing some sort of home situation know, or let's say like the proof assert dying down a little soccer. it's hard for palestinians to maneuver. they know that they are overpowered by the israeli army, but still we've got information from our sources in jeanine, north of the occupied west bank that palestinians have used 15 i. e. 's, which has, which are improved wise explosive devices. and they have targeted them and use them against the israelis is where the army and his regulatory chuck for they are. so

as you can see, it's a tense situation. the pension has been already building up with the intensified is really raised to palestinian towns and villages. and we know that's a lock them all come pound and jerusalem hold a very big importance in palestinians force and mines if they wanted to show that they are with that hello policy isn't occupied, is true. and even if they don't have permits, because they need is really meant to be permits to even access the city and get through the tech point. but even if they don't have those, they want to show that they are with the palestinians, even it with their, with their follow palestinians and our families and brother as and fellow people, even if they can't be with them. because nita and also tell us what have we heard from palestinian need a ship today. we've heard statements from the

palestinian for a ministry from the palestinian a prime minister, the spokesperson of the palestinian presidency. the old reiterated almost the same message. israel is playing with fire. this is, is role responsibility if the situation and then move into a confrontation because what they call this is they say that these measures and occupies issues that are provoking. but if you talk to palestinians industry, they would tell you that the statements are not enough. and we know that the palestinian authority is committed to diplomacy as a way to and the conflict and cheating, the palestinian seat with east jerusalem as it's capital. but for people, they say that israel hasn't been giving the palestinian authority anything. they have been negotiating for years and years,

but they haven't been getting their situation hasn't been getting any better. on the contrary, they've been seeing more league and is ready supplements expanding. they've been seeing more really rates to their towns and cities. they can't build and expand in their own lands while they see the israelis opposite to them. and sometimes the opposite. 3, enjoying all the resources, the infrastructure, the water, all of these things, while they don't have any access to those resources, they don't have a future. they're not getting any closer to having a state of their own. so that's why they're saying that weight, maybe israel doesn't understand the language of diplomacy when they feel that they've been, has this. they feel that they've been left out by the leaders and by the world. and it took us through the events surrounding the death of a colleague, serene acclaim, because it is the tensions that we're seeing rising in recent weeks. recent months

that eventually led to her death should in was covering. the latest is really raids in jeanene and the north of the occupied with bank. she was, she sent an email to the desk and they'll have saying, i'm heading to where the rate is. i'm going to be following up and sending you more information. her camera matter was just behind her when she was shot. why is ready for says everyone here you ask, who will tell you? she was deliberately targeted the palestinian investigation and several investigations have been carried out by several media outfits. they all lead to the same conclusion that she was target said while she was wearing a press the best. so for palestinians, they would tell you that not only they themselves are being targeted,

but also those who tell their stories to the world. they will tell you that just because the palestinian voice is being hurt and we see last year with the need of attention and the war on god's off that we've seen a change and shift in the public's reaction towards what's happening. it's a fella simeon, we've seen on social media, many celebrities coming out and supporting palestinians. so they feel that because they are speaking out and they're getting the world's attention. and rarely the world is watching what's happening. that's happening here. because there are people who are carrying this voice to the world that shitty targets and remember, she's our beloved colleague. we still are processing her. that's where still like socks and we cannot absorb that. she's not going to be with us with phil. she's not the only one. she is one of more than 55 journalists who are killed by

his relief with his fire over the years. and we talk about also palestinians, not just journalists, we cover a weekly basis, palestinians being shot and killed by the way, the army. we see miss an investigation into what's happening. we see almost no indictment. and when that is one, it's very life. a community service for killing a palestinian with covered cases of bereaved mothers extensively. and people feel like their lives are cheap and that they are under a decades long israeli military occupation with no end in sight. ok for now. thank you for that. nit abraham there in battle in the occupied west bank. let's return to occupied east jerusalem. im ron con is there for us. you've been covering the march of the alternation as jewish groups, fussy, talk us through that march. it is that march through the old city actually finished

. have they settled at that final resting point? if you like that final destination is actually going to be the western wall. a very holy sight to the jewish people. but there are still people coming in, not in the kind of number that we've seen throughout the day, but they all coming in by damascus gate. now earlier the police actually managed to lose control of the root of the march. at one point, thousands of people came in from behind where we are right now, where the journalists off at through a very small funnel point and a one point there was a very real danger of a crush, actually happening. but these, when police to simply allow them to, they tried as hard as they could to maintain control that there was a very real danger of them losing control as those of thousands of people came in through a very small as i say,

funnel pointed out these were the police had actually also been trying to stop by the international is years groups actually coming in? they've been insulting and pushing journalist throughout the day over there. and then if i can just get ricardo my camera man to pull over, there were a number of journalist crew set up. they were bottles being thrown at them. and that was the kind of the mood of these. i thought it was a very young craft. this youth. now why is that the case? well, basically, a lot of these guys are very, very radicalized. i'm from a very early age, and you can tell by the kind of slogans that johnson johnson desta errands. this is a purely jewish line. this will be a jewish land for ever. there was a lot of hate speech on this. now. when they went into damascus gate, they would have war policy alex most come by with no hearing that anything has happened there. so we do think that they are now gathering out the western wool up, but that have been clashes with the palestinians. me is ready,

police don't hell. but just down the road in tele, hadn't street. it's about 5 minutes away from where i am. we're hearing a lease of 30 palestinians have been arrested. there were at least 12 injuries as well. and now this is going to be a flash point. this is something that may will spill over into the early hours of the night. and tell us in more detail in ron about what happened any today where number of palestinians were arrested over those skirmishes. what exactly was going on that led to those arrests, provocations by the jewish ultra nationalists. they basically gathered in small numbers just around the corner from when far as you can see it now in the middle of that square. and then they moved into the old city. the old city at the tone was actually still open. it's really shot until 7 o'clock. so there were palestinians around their shops open. so they started chanting their races slogans of the

palestinians, things escalated, and then the police had to proven. but the police moved in almost all be off of the ultra nationalist group. they didn't arrest any of those guys. you know, you could argue that it was the language that spot, those confrontations, but they did arrest palestinians and they dragged them out. and as they did, these guys were actually shown chanting again, races slogans at the palestinians as they were being built out. that's one of the things that happens. the other major thing that happens, they 70 jewish settlers went in to the, our acts of most combat. now they're actually allowed to do that. but then allowed to pray that they prayed that then a lot to wave is ready flags that they waved israeli flag flags that now this is all part of an agreement between the jordanians and these rallies. but this was the intense provocation, the world clashes in the morning. but once again, let's see what happens over night. whether those clashes in sliding st escalate or whether they simply die down is going to be

a key going forward and watching out. particularly, i'm asking, the goal is to strip might be okay. thank you for that im ron kon, in occupied east harrison. let's get a little more analysis on the events this evening. we can speak to minette new cba, he is professor international law and director of our couldn't human rights clinic at our could university. he joins us from occupied east jerusalem. thank you for your time. i want to start by asking you what your thoughts on this he is flag march. in particular, the root of the marches took at 3 the musk, and course at which the palestinians condemned. the step of march is actually an expression of the israeli about g. and he seem that allows these are ultra right wing people to go through the streets of the old city and to chance braces slots against arms

against the muslims, against a prophet muhammad, to use violence against the people. even people who are inside their homes are here today from one of my colleagues that they sprayed and pepper spray inside windows, through windows, into houses as they were marching. while at the same time, similar tennessee, we saw how that is there in the police best. and athenians who were trying to raise the city. and we also saw the same incident during the funeral of a reporter city when the city and the palestinians who are participating in australia wanted to equity, have a coffin on the streets and preparing for the city and flags and the police labels against them. this is the death of the munition that is in is always working

on keeping and sustaining with a very powerful machine of it's bernice of its laws. and this is ongoing force. this does not change anything in the identity of the palestinian people. they continue identifying as a trying to express themselves as part of sydney as we saw, the creative initiative apparently by activists unknown activists to fly a flag on a drone over the walls of the old city. and we've seen the young women and men in the streets of trying to also against all odds a stadium flags and wave them and fly them despite all the violence that was used against them. so i wanna, i wanna, yeah, i want to pick you up on that because you are a professor of international law. and i want to talk more specifically about these

laws that seem to apply to palestinians and not apply to be israelis. i mean, for example, the waving of flags when a palestinian raises their flags. we've seen it over and over again more often than not. they're not being arrested. but today we saw pro nationalist israeli groups inside the alex, the compound, also raising israeli flags which from what i understand is a provocation and not something that they normally do. so where does the lot down on that? a flag as well as in a locks almost and more importantly or equally important to you. but from the point of view of those that are in the police, paying a most by a jewish groups is not something that does officially recognize it. that recognizes that allows and numberless is that it has continuously been foreseen as limit

administration off of some of the last 2. 02 accept. although they don't accept to forcing the settlers through it, they get up into 4 visits that we are interested in. visions of alexa most and this is against the start of school the most that has been ongoing for a century. the last, the most is and the stomach side and on the muslims are allowed to play in this course. we know that god, manager was groups that are not yet officially supported by the 0. they are aided by the state in many ways that would like to change the sanity. and you know that the reality that, that the last is the most and but lot of it, you know, also, is there any legal system? although it does not explicitly m. prohibit, and athenians from carrying palestinian flags, especially since the peace process. but is there any police has been continuously

and preventing palestinians from carrying from a stimulant flags. and we keep seeing this again and again. but there is a really basic law firm has stipulated in a law that was enacted in at 2018 that only that was steep one have that out of the commission in his life. this is a constitutional law with as good stick was due to the batting that only just people have that i said that, that in the nation in history. and of course by his record here, they also mean annabel occupied about jerusalem and therefore the illegal system. and this is only one expression of it that shows how are that is a huge gap between the way that the is really good system works. and the way that international law works where everybody should be allowed to. ready express their, their identities and they should not be discriminated against based on national

origin or national identity or ethnic or religious or belonging. however, this is the way that, that is there any legal system works, but it's not only that, it's actually that, but athenians in duluth and him are defined as presidents only in their own city. while you know that it was population or, you know, citizens enjoying footlights that when a citizens are greeted as guests in their own city. and you know about, of the things we work with an opportune versus in our league. and it to the community is help people who have had their lives there of a lot unable to, to just the children in the population industry or unable to live under the same roof with their family members to do so, which is very difficult, very good traffic under the illegal system. so this is the type of legal system that, that really have established in the city. and when they look at

the palestinian population in jerusalem and you know as enemies away, although we, i've been here for centuries. if luck, 1000000 living in the city, but they look at the political tradition as enemies and they keep pressing and suppressing their identity and better everyday living. they keep preventing them from building new homes. and then one thing that homes and collectively promising them on several occasions and civil considerations. so this is the way, but it still is live in jerusalem and this is a cannot be tolerated. this cannot be tolerated for a long time and, but it still is keep expressing this themselves, expressing that identity as much as they can, despite all the violence that they faced from bits of a lead police forces. alba is the 80 low. we have been actually noticing over the past few days and huge arrests. a large number of

a youth have been added every day, actually since also the feeling of student our play, but also the days leading to the day. and is there any police has been going through a city a neighborhoods at different hours of the night to day and, and i think and young men. so this is the reality that people live in. it is very suppressive. and you know, it's, it's not sustainable really appreciate you speaking to us minute say by professor of international law and director of our could human rights clinic at our could university speaking to a staff from occupied east jerusalem. thank you, sir. let's bring in my one. be shara again, i'll be there as senior political analyst, speaking to a storage staff from london. i want, i want to ask you, i mean there's less return to the alex that compounds because and talk

a bit more about the status quo there because it is such a sensitive place that and we've talked about this, the jordan holds the custodial rights to that compound, what is the role of jordan here? do they have a role? should they be doing more and not just jordan and the international community when it, when it comes to what we are seeing here. judging from reports and israeli, plus only a few days ago when there's really a prime minister, it was going to meet the jordanian king. in fact, it was before his meetings in washington. it was clear that the prime minister bennett was basically telling the jordanians that this is the capital of israel and jordan has no business in fact, interfering on what is there

a does or does not do in the esplanade of locks or mosque. that in a sense wild. busy that might be the salaries of the guards for some of the people who clean up. but in the end of the day, this is a political issue. it's a religious issue. and that since a considers both sides of jerusalem as united capital of israel forever, i don't know why they keep saying whatever, as if they do have some sort of our deal with forever. but anyway, they're concerned that is there have to be a united capital reserve forever and has jordan has no business and that, and that's why they allow themselves with, through, with security forces through force and through whatever legal means they like to impose on zillow. so when i lock, so in a sense that they enact the laws the way the way they wish. and as you and i have

been chatting just a little earlier, over 3 quarters of this early parliament that legislates laws in israel. over 90 of the $120.00 out of radical zionists extremists, religious or secular. but they are extreme zionist of the most extreme since the beginning of or the independence of israel. and hence the enact laws as the wish. and as you heard from your international legal export, just earlier then acted in 2018 the laws they wished. and they tried to impose them in east jerusalem. now in us fighters that international committees concern is to will simply means unoccupied city. this slightly changed defacto because of the current administrations recognition av jilson m as israel capital. but in on trump is trump international law remains that this is unoccupied. city is there and of

course rejects that. what is there and rejects much of the, the, the implementation or the application of international law in occupied territories including is chalicia. and that's why it continues to violate the international law in building settlements, in, in occupying and repressing and planning at the global water. in blocking the palestinians and so on, so forth moran and returning back to the flag months. as we know it's an annual event this year in particular tensions high have been months of debbie incident 15 our colleague, serene, actually killed. in the midst of all that, i want to ask you about the roots that the marches would take, took way expected to take and through the muslim course, and which was approved by authority, a decision that was condemned by the palestinians. what do you make of the decision

to allow marches to go through the muslim course? something that's not been allowed previously? it's like the israelis known clearly how provocative that would be. but i'm actually really glad you asked that. you asked that question in the way you asked it, because perhaps it's important for us to clarify this point to our viewers around the world. because people are looking and just scratching their heads, what the heck is going on that? so let's just put the name flag aside because this is just an israeli at 10 missile formation. it is the israeli attempt at consolidating israeli control of jerusalem. and this is what this is about. it's about the 2nd religious zealots enabled by the israeli government in these reiney security forces to force to apply to insist to make

a defacto reality that israel and it's jewish citizens control jerusalem. and what have it sparked including gold city. and that's why it's not about flags, it's about the flags marching, deluxe, a mosque. it's about the flags marching in the old city. so in us fighters, we can do this course is provocation. of course, they can say it's celebration, but it is certainly provocation of for the inhabitants of jerusalem. the absolute majority of which are of course, palestinians for centuries and centuries. and hence it's not just really about the laws. it's about israel's logical power, logical force imposing that, calling it flag day, but in fact it's jerusalem day where they once again by force impose their will on jerusalem. which next mature other important question you asked earlier? i didn't i, the time to, to respond to it's the international community way. what is it doing about it and

why is it standing aside and why to so indifferent that the issue here and that's what it enables is or to continue to do this also provocations and that's sort of killing and that's sort of racism. and that's what i think of over and basically expanding the issue of partied because it's not only are ignored by the international community. it's enabled by the international committee, the international committee, rewards israel for its policy in jerusalem. okay, thank you for that. my one beserra senior political at editor that now of course all this is happening just days after the murder fall colleague, serene clay israeli forces in janine are, is there. a media network continues to demand a rapid, independent and transparent investigation into it. killing. here are some images from sharina extraordinary creat which and had the.
