brutality against palestinians. and at this point, israeli either side on jeanine and nav, listen. so it didn't really come as a surprise that janine was the in the i of the storm. the, the frustration among palestinians, of course, is that in line of the current, internal i will city and division and the seeming parameters of the palestinian political system. there seems to be very little other kind of study in ordinary palestinians can count on by way of, of support or assistance when they come under such extreme this atlas vinny and paralysis that relies more on rhetoric to the action than that insists on talking about reconciliation and unity rather than actually moving forward on that path, which is the only path that is open to post it in, which is the only path that makes sense to ordinary palestinians. the loss of faith

is there in the palestinian authority, which seems enable or incapable of doing anything beyond political statements. it is too weak to confront israel, too weak to confront, amuse, international community. and also the situation in gaza was the factions ruling other is not much different. so the frustration is quite high. judge investigating the bailiff, port explosion $11.20 has been summoned by lebanon's top prosecutor cottage, which has been charged with mishandling. the inquiry bodies refusing to step down, people gathered at the justice patterson, the capital, demanding accountability for the disaster. on wednesday, the prosecutor also ordered the release of all those detained in the case. more than 200 people were killed in the blast when properly stored chemicals ignited halters following developments from robert. illegal showdown between lebanon,

who is of course, backed by the political establishment, is that tied up towards the orders will not be implemented and that any decision he makes will not be will, will not be taken into account. but tanya baton is standing. his ground, he says he's still good traditional investigator. he will continue his investigation. he will not step down. he will not appear for summoning, because the chief prosecutor summoned him and that even if it means that he will be locked behind bars, he will still issue an indictment for people here. this is a battle between right and oppress. many people have lost their children in that class. they want answers. they want to know who brought the ammonium nitrate, the country, and stored it unsafely at the points. boyer hogan is a member of the lebanese parliament and she says, while most politicians and officials of tried to delay investigations into what
