health officials say the numbers will only rise if the fighting continues below. now they are thinking civilians where they can premises this event areas. nobody knows what will happen in the coming few hours for that reason. this is an appeal in back to extend the helping hand immediately to mr. quilting as a surprise now, and you know, of course the electricity web shortly, christy it's declared now that will be on me 4 hours a day. and 12 hours of electricity, which means that we would rely in the hospice on july, 8th of july. 8th, we'll consume, like half 1000000 liters every month. we do not have this bill right now. look at all us guys. this what we have and nobody knows what will happen in the coming months. the last war has caused a wide spread of devastation, urine, because this trip a year later, almost no reconstruction has been made. the isolated coastal territory is in progress and the people are hardly recovery the fear of another round of

escalation. unit c, else is iraq, gaza city, or palestinian islamic jihad is a smaller armed group compared to hamas, which controls garza the p. i. j is it's known as reported of carried out attacks inside israel for over 40 years. that was founded in the early eighty's by palestinian activists in egypt. the group same is to create a palestinian islamic state within the occupied west bank. garza and parts of israel islamic jihad doesn't take part in the palestinian political process. it concentrates on armed resistance against israel, through its military wing, the r could brigade, it's active in garza and the occupied west bank. the group has its headquarters in syria and reportedly gets funds from a run. it's designated as a terrorist group by the u. s. the e, u. israel and the you came a room, $500.00 is an associate professor of conflict resolution at the doha institute. he

explained the goals of the p i. j. as long as you had known to the piece process that equal she ation approach. with an autumn the struggle against the late a cube ation. like how miles climate you had is a close ally, a very close. i would say with iran you can say approx, he'll get on in the region if, if you wealth ab received funding from iran, millet i'm on the google and i because in that policy meant that it is that unlike huh. who in paul, out of in, and gods that sponsible for anybody or services for the people. so it's land you had because i think they've linked to it. i'm. we are being one of the goals that

is by launching that there is no doubt that as faction, the political factions, they strongly united, fully united. this is at least what came in the very initial statement by all part as a response to the israeli attack on gaza. however, i think that for the time being there is a strategy of that list they had to respond to as well as we have seen this in that missiles that let me jad file back up as well as that is it sounds it seems like that is is watching very carefully and provide the goal, the support that you had needs, but not o'shelley, getting involved at the moment on his really rates of continued across the occupied west bank. israel says it's arrested 19 members of his that the, his lunch, a hot group troops rated sites in the city of janine and the columbia area south of

ramallah. the groups indicated it'll retaliate. it says now is a time for resistance. not a truce on the hammer, i beside is the so sort of associate professor of political science at alyssa university in gaza. he's joining us now from arrestin in virginia. so vega, happy with us on al jazeera, that there is a lot of speculation about the role of homicide. this what do you think would be at the point at which hamas might feel obliged to get involved we leave me a position at one thing that they are a partners in what we call the joint mutual command because, but in the meantime have masses feeling that if they join the white thing with this, and you have to get us israel is when will intensify its bonding again,

a spouse and he has to millions of dollars to me and infrastructure, but also on the security services in the girls to me just to remind you and remind you of you was that last year as well, which are about 11, which are infected, massive destruction on the civilian infrastructure. so this is the only concern that are probably the tears i'm asked for joining the fight against israel at this moment. that is where we'll take that as a justification to can you to continue it and it's disruption again, this is lillian infrastructure. in the for those of us watching from the, from the outside help us with some context. how much influence will commerce have over the p i? j? is it a kind of balanced relationship or is hamas able to exert and some sort of influence over the limit your hard group in palestine to be honest with

you a p i, j is a much more with with a but b o, but they both agree on i think the occupation, the village actually peaceful amount of the customer is waiting on it and it goes to the past 15 years. they have a very good relationship and a working relationship. and in that there were some instances where there were provocations between members of amazon members of this job. but overall they have a relationship and very good and high level cooperation. as i mentioned earlier

on to the joint command, a operations. and they usually agree on how to respond back to your location as conditions against the now, with a hammer has the power to, to, to put an end to an israel. i know that it seems to me that is when has gone too far, is where it has to advise, which would allow us to convince this and you had to stop firing about it. i think it's gonna take countries like i thought you just on the you on to try to intervene and media and media between this. and i want to ask you about the timing of israel's air strikes on garza israel. of course is going to fragile government. it's facing elections that are coming up

later on this year. what kind of influence do you think those elections are going to have on the type and length of conflict that israel might be prepared to carry out? that is definitely a very good question, sir. let me say that this man is going into it election in about 2 years and for the past 2 years has failed miserably to establish a stable government because of the. ready fractions and divisions within these went into society and it has gone into every election on november 1st of this year, about 3 months from now. we have a, a prime minister in israel is sort of being an internal revenue. so for the 1st time in his life, and he's trying to maximize his chances or they're getting more or so getting more see what is part of the, which is going to give you that there is future israel. i think he

is really gambling with that. he can get out the story is out of this kind of escalation with this going to jack. that will depend on how this a thing is, is, is going to leave. but on, if he is able to inflict a lot of damage, a lot of killing against this, again, he might be able to maximize its course in the coming to action. but if the kind of fighting continues on is will become paralyzed in terms of the, for a population at just of the got it my back fire and it might lead to worse situation with b and the next election. but overall, i think that be the next is wally. elections is on the table. these waves are trying to you was palestinian law in picked in destruction against a count as a means to maximize it,

to maximize the chances of winning more horses antics is wally. and so i'm going to ask you briefly if you don't mind about the, the nature of the attacks that don't what the motivations behind the israeli attacks that we've seen over the last couple of is not historically. we know that depending on the circumstances, if there has been or got conflict between israel and garza, it usually starts off with both sides to some degree, having a kind of choreographed response. israel with far air carrier strikes in areas of garza which are more likely to have fewer civilians in it, like open fields or whatever. and that garzon armed groups will respond in a way that may not cause too much damage in israel. this seems to have changed this time round. israel is preemptively take carrying out attacks in garza, on the belief that there was an attack planned for israel. how much does that change the dynamics of the kind of relationship in future conflicts that we might

see? are we going to get to a stage where israel is simply going to carry out attacks on the assumption that it itself may well be a tight? well, let me say she was things i 1st saw that this has been a solution, is where it has been conducting training and who, who is or is saw to me over the past few months to prepare for this. that again is the palestinians and mainly the if you have a 2nd, it was one who started this with when the target. ringback are members of the a, b, c, and job? who is the leasing? remember one of these, a handful of other leaders with now when we are speaking of the guy,

was talking about more than 1000000000 people that live in the 165 square kilometers. which would mean that if this one is going to go off of the middle of this, going to get that is going to doesn't have a lot of damage on the, in the civilian infrastructure. today i'm to this point more than one to 24 persons have been killed by the way, the kind of escalation and move them to understand it have been injured. a civilians and some of them are children and women. in addition to that, many of those who have been entered also a civilians in a place like because of whatever the even though that is very clear that they are going off the militant but that the end of the palestinian civilians, all of them. ready the, the majority of the destruction mohammed,

i was trying to say, we appreciate you getting your expertise in this. thank you very much indeed. thank you. so my pleasure to be with you. protests had been held in solidarity with the palestinians in neighboring jordan. crowds gathered outside a mosque near the israeli embassy, a capital amman, to condemn israel's air strikes on garza jordans demanded that israel stops. it's aggression immediately. it's called in the international community to protect the palestinian people. and the only power planting guys is shut down after running out of fuel. it's hard not fuel delivery since tuesday because the border crossing with israel's been closed mailing tricity supplies expected to drop to just 4 hours a day. former us president donald trump's giving the closing speech of the conservative political action conference in texas. the largest and most influential gathering of american conservatives began on thursday in dallas. these a live pictures from their c pack, as it is known as being held just 3 months ahead of mid term elections. and even i

tell some of the senators, she hubs chances, johnny, his life, no, from dallas. this is the moment that there are many of the delegates i would imagine have been, are waiting for what is donald trump talking about? what's the mood like basking in that glory regard. it really does feel like a coronation, and in fact, we've just had the results of the straw poll. the c pack always always has whatever they have. one of these meetings, donald trump, very large field of potential content is the republican presidential nomination favorite. here he won by he got 69 percent of the vote, that's actually 10 percent higher than the last c pack straw po and february. incidentally, since february we've had the january 6 commission committee hearings in prime time and so on. fairly, anything that's just cemented as hold on the base here, cement of the idea of your stablish ones are up to get them and it's time to,

to line up behind them. but still, at least up to this point in the speech, trump has not, not declared he is going to run. but throughout the speech he possess with statements about how even though biden has run the country into the grounds. soon, america will be great again. now how do we interpret that? if not a suggestion, we will, he's already said he's made up his mind that he will be running again, but he's not saying yes or no. it's about interpretation. but we also have a very good reasons why he doesn't declare he's raised hundreds of millions of dollars. so what's called a political action committee, a pack as an see pack is actually really trump has his own. what as soon as he announces himself as a counter, he will lose control over those hundreds of millions of dollars because political action committees cannot be controlled by actual candidates in the election. so i think he's rather moved to lose control over over all that cash. but in the, in the meantime, he actually has a new, a new but i mean, it's disabled speech we've had over the last few months. the whiteness driven the

country into the ground. no one, no one respects america anymore. the economies in shambles and so on. but because of nancy pelosi is visit to taiwan. there's actually a new bit now, which is what was she doing? she played right into their hands and it goes into this. this idea about the trombone is, is, is talking about is, is that china and russia and other countries will never dare treat taiwan or ukraine in the way that they all, if trump was in part, they knew the rules of the game because trump had that had that power so that's the new new foreign policy part. i don't get even even here when he says, you know what was she doing? she played right into the hands bumps, but we will have, we will save our nation and will we respect it again soon? again, that suggestion of something is going to change the next 2 years and if it isn't, you know donald trump's return, well it'll be written at variance. i don't know what else you might be referring to . she had thank you very much. indeed. she hovered sense in talking to us from that see pat conference in dallas,

texas timelines accusing the chinese army of simulating an attack on its main island on day 3 of bases. biggest ever military drills in surrounding waters. tensions remain high with china, which is furious over the u. s. how speak and nancy pelosi, his visit to taiwan. would she have was, is talking about if you go whole on of time on plus, explains why the situation is a wider security threat. those i thought outlying islands are the closest point you can get to mainland china. in fact, one of them can men is only about 10 kilometers away from poor john province. now they're used to seeing this kind of activity around a military activity from china and seeing that, that kind of intimidation in that area. but this time at china's also focusing, as we know, it's military drills, not just in those areas, but also on the main island. in fact, this morning, the ministry of defense said that there's china's created a scenario with his exercises where it's simulating an attack on the main island of

taiwan, which is where the capital is. and this all comes out. anthony blinkin has confirmed and the u. s. has announced that china is broken off all communications on certain issues with the u. s. and those issues include military, that's of great worry, of course for taiwan. because the u. s. is time, once main ally, and in addition to that, the united states why law has to help tie one protect itself. should there be a war scenario. so having those communications broken at a time and these military exercises are taking place, it's of great concern right now. the ones nuclear watchdogs, condemned shilling at the zeal parisha plant in ukraine, seeing it shows the risk over nuclear disaster. can even moscow of accused each other of firing on europe's largest nuclear power station and supplied by russia, but still operated by ukrainian employees. it rings nuclear agencies said a nitrogen oxygen unit and a high voltage power line. we're hit. the head of the i a is called an all sides to

officers. a catholic priest is in hiding, speaking after securing bail for another prominent protest her manage. now now kara was clear, policy, thin rump is a dish of, along with the police seems to be trying to fire legal action one by one for some political requirements. but this has been unsuccessful. trying to repress the protesters by taking such action is futile. what must be done is finding solutions to the root causes of the protests. his gland who is released on bail remains undeterred, quickly, have about gamma justice will prevail. so let's see. this is the 4th case so far. let's see how many more, but we won't give up the fight. this struggle is for a system change, and we will continue the fight. but at the protest, many told al jazeera, there won't let the crack down stop, then let me out. and actually i was on grammar jag behind him. we will not give up the struggle. we won't stop till we when we're telling, ron neil roger pucks are very clearly we will not be scared by your repression. we

will only get stronger and stronger in response to it. you are protested they in government is news islands them than they also see. it won't work. and if we are not having got rid of one president, this really won't be intimidated by his replacement law melendez. my other 0 here, colombo, lightning struck a crude oil storage facility in western cuba, sparking a huge blaze that's injured. at least 80 people and left 17 firefighters missing. emergency crews have been trying to extinguish the flames at the mountains, the super tango bases friday. at least 2 oil tanks, been set of lights and the smoke spread a 100 kilometers west to the capitol. havana. it's not clear how much oil has been burned to the facility, which stores fuel to produce electricity. he was currently struggling with fuel shortages. columbia's 1st leftist president elect gustovo. petro has held a symbolic, swearing in ceremony with indigenous groups,

growing force displacement and record levels of narcotic production. i think president duca, was insulated from public opinion for a long time. i think him and his visors believe he did a stellar job and that's to the point that he said, you know, he doesn't listen to radio. he doesn't listen to news. he doesn't participate in the social media conversation. barry allies say he has been unfairly portrayed. you know, i think there have been mistakes in communicating as achievement to the citizens. and i think there are transformations and education and the environments and other issues that we will see become better in 4 or 5 years by many achievements. i think that issues such as the pandemic are responsible for his low popularity, but in the future he will be remembered as a great president. but in the end, the van lucas biggest failure as president this.
