8:08 pm
sky being least half the by strikes, what's the lightest way you are and how many strikes that have occurred and what's been the damage to infrastructure? well uh, during the last couple of minutes generally the eastern boot is obviously shy. you witnessed massive destruction of duty is really destroy expired. in fact, dozens of a strikes wicker dr. against the area in order to our to track down any possible infiltration or let's say a fence offensive that might be a taking place from that area i. in fact, we can clearly understand that this as to what to do will be applied along side. the board is of the goal is to strip in order to a secure. is there any boat? does it from the infiltration of the palestinian militant groups? what is the mood on the ground? like you've obviously been in guys all of today,
8:09 pm
how have palestinians been preparing for what was always going to be a 10th nice of the palestinians. uh, in the homes right now. uh, it's 30 percent of the palestinians, or specifically gardens or in order with shelters or display from the original offices and the majority of guys and all of our living such a great feed i've kind of could do to the is very ongoing strike. they don't have any other solution, but just to remain in the offices to pair up with the current situation. and even if they what displace a big full capacity of warner with schools as rich, it's full potential. there is no more affordable places for more displaced. people, so we can clearly see that human training humanitarian crisis will be broken out if the situation will remain as it is without appropriate changes in the coming hours . can you give us a sense of how frequent these strikes have bain? we've been saying the,
8:10 pm
the fire or the lights light up to the night sky over the past hour or so. how frequent have they bain and where are they, they happening? do you think now all of the strikes are carried out in different areas inside the gaza strip in the north, west, central and even in the southern areas, as long as the targets are available for these really drones is very air forces will attack this target to these targets without any previous morning, and we can clearly hear explosions from time to time. we can say every 2 or 3 minutes, we turn to the sound, all the explosions that take place inside the gaza strip areas. all right, terrific. thank you so much for your update to rake a zone. then that's bringing mama jammed you now who's live for us in west jerusalem. hello there my home at the cabinet as we've been reporting has approved
8:11 pm
the declaration of rule. what does that mean in terms of this conflict? emily, let me 1st just tell you about some new developments we've learned about in the past few minutes. the 1st is that we've seen a confirmation from the prime minister's office. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu is meeting with security officials, including the defense minister, he is having a situational assessment that is happening at this hour at the ministry of defense in tel aviv. so we expect to hear more about what was discussed in that assessments and the next steps forward. rather soon in the next few hours. probably. we've also seen an interview with the former defense minister benny gans who is now a member of the opposition. one of the opposition leaders in this country in which it was televised, in which he said that he is willing to form an emergency unity government with the
8:12 pm
prime minister at this very critical time. now we've heard other members of the opposition in the last day and a half. we've also made similar overtures to the prime minister saying that this is a time for national unity despite political differences, they should come together. there are some opposition leaders who have made those offers conditionally, but we've not yet heard and acceptance and official acceptance from the prime minister. the prime minister has said in the last day that he is considering those over overtures. uh, that's the latest developments at this hour. now when it comes to this declaration of war, it's a little bit complicated. let me just walk you through it. you heard yesterday of course, prime minister and asked me, i was saying that the country wasn't more than you had the cabinet meeting and which of the cabinet a voted on the declaration of war. uh, and they approved it. what happens next is that there is a committee in the country's parliament that will study this. this is expected to happen tomorrow, then they will vote on it. they will approve the declaration of war and then they are after the prime minister will address the condition of the parliament and will
8:13 pm
declare that the country is officially award, basically formalized as it legalizes. the process now is a lot of concern amongst the many that we've spoken with the past few hours because they're worried about what exactly happens next. you will have the tensions that are going on on israel's border with 11 on. you have a lot of people expecting that there will be a ground invasion into gaza relatively soon. so a lot of worry at this hour, people not sure what's going to happen next, but really hoping that things will improve and that the situation will eventually be escalate. emily mohammed that brings me to my next question. obviously, politicians aside, you've been speaking to a number of people on the ground every day people, what have they been telling you? and what of it they made you can sense? well by and large, emily, everybody that i've spoken with in the last several hours in west jerusalem, where we are now and also an occupied east jerusalem, where we were earlier said that they never would have expected that they would have
8:14 pm
seen something like what happened yesterday they said that they were shocked that there was such an immense intelligence, an operational failure on the part of the israeli army. i am security officials. they are really concerned about what is going to happen next. they said that they do believe that at some point there will probably be political ramifications for the prime minister because this happened under his watch. but they've also said that they just haven't had time to really process what happened and get their heads around it. it is, it is something that is really immense for them. they don't know what is going to happen next. but many of those that i spoke with said that what they witness happening yesterday, they believe that it is even worse than what happened during the per war 50 years ago. emily? okay, thank you so much for bringing us up. this page mohammed jammed jim in west jerusalem for us. let's head to ramallah now with him,
8:15 pm
ron kon. is standing by for us in front. have we heard anything from the palestinian authority today as well? what we've been hearing from the how to send you an ols are, as he's pretty much the same language we've been hearing from them any time that is and is really encouraging against palestinians. obviously they're taking this situation much more seriously. then they have any thing else, but the language is uh, pretty familiar with the palestinian administrative size issue statement say they strongly condemned. the international community silence in the face of ongoing is really aggressive and mastic has against palestinian civilians. now they're also the policy university is also negotiating with the egyptians to open the rafa board across the raw for body cross and goes from egypt in to gauze that they won't vote across thing to be open so that you can get in humanitarian. the age of the people that need it the most in goals. i also throughout the day the instruction community has been speaking to the policy of warranty, at the highest levels,
8:16 pm
but on the ground here in ramallah across the occupied west bank. there was a day of strike, they've pretty much shut down the city. so let's just showing you, this is the quietest. i've seen them all on a sunday night in the many, many years. i've been coming here. every thing that makes us decide to function, government offices, legal offices, schultz, schools, colleges, universities, etc, has oh, shut down in support of how much they've been. sporadic and approach has going on in minora square, which you can just see down that throughout the day. i've been speaking to people, as part has been speaking to people across the occupies westbank and they keep telling me the same thing. what were you expecting? if you treat people like animals, don't be surprised when they fight back. yes, everybody is surprised at the size of this fight back, but what's getting lost? what happens a lot with in this conversation is the fact that the palestinians are allowed on
8:17 pm
the international law to resist occupation. but we're in a very strange situation and you'll keep hard westbank and in other places as well, because the palestinian authority over the years has had to give guarantees to the people occupying it. that's a very unusual situation. so that's been really frustrating for the palestinians. hey, on the ground, but generally speaking, a lot of people are in support of what, how math is actually doing. the segments has been a very long time coming. all right, thanks so much for bringing us up to speed him on con, in ramallah for us. pope frances meanwhile, has called for an end to the attacks and violence in israel, in an address to the crowd at some pages square. he expressed his solidarity with the victims. the head of the catholic church said, fighting will not solve any problems. you can the items with the attacks and width and cease, please, because it must be understood that terrorism and war bring no solutions,
8:18 pm
but only the death and suffering of many innocent lives, or as a defeat every will as it defeats this price of peace. and israel and palestine, now with me, so was the scene in each temple with thousands of people much destroyed their simple, what's the palestinian find his many also wives, palestinian flags in china and slogans is supposed to come up take as president bridge of time. the other one is urging both sides to de escalate tensions. one says ticket will ramp hoford's diplomatic efforts to achieve. com to, to kill solver on behalf of 2 key a and then the lights of this morning's events. in israel, we invite all parties to act reasonably, and to stay away from impulsive steps that raise tensions. the rallies were also held in demon's capital. santa people celebrated what's been known and will become to be known as our accept flood military operations by him us and him to aid crowds
8:19 pm
also mashed and support for palestinians in gaza. tied to the us now with president joe biden has been speaking on the phone with benjamin netanyahu. i'll state department correspondent, rosalind jordan joins as live now from washington. d. c. was what more do we know about the content of this phone call, as well, according to a statement just released by the white house. the us president joe biden told the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that the us stands with israel, and that military assistance which israel has requested for its defense forces is on its way to israel. we don't know specifically what is being said, but it is worth pointing out that the pentagon has said in the past day or so that the defense secretary lloyd austin, is consulting with you. i've got the as really defense minister about what of
8:20 pm
support the defense forces need in order to repel this attack that was launched by her mazda early on saturday. we also note from the white house statement that the president said that active diplomacy has been conducted. and continues to be conducted in order to try to bring this war between her moss and israel to a swift conclusion without further loss of life. and certainly to try to help her recover. those persons who were kidnapped by her mouth and taken to gauze in the last 24 hours. plenty of moving parts to the story. thank you so much. rosalind jordan live for us the let spring in she have for times he who joins us from the you in the united nations security council will hold an emergency meeting very shortly. she have what are we expecting? if anything, in terms of its power to de escalate the situation, i will expect that mean thinking about an hour and
8:21 pm
a house time just over an hour in the halls. it's interesting. the formats of the meeting is led to some questions as to what exactly can be achieved in a from us, from us security, from the security council and its official capacity. because originally we understand that mold or aust for this to be a private leasing a b one security councils that is a close and we think the public wouldn't be able to see what was going on. but that's the effective policies in this crisis is row power, so i wouldn't be able to attend and participate. but then that does change to close consultations of the un security council for that is not a formal meeting of the un security council. and only the current members of the un security council can participate not. these rarely impose these riley. i'm posting representatives to the you and we expect them to be briefed by the un, special representative from the lease piece, the middle east peace process tool. when it goes beyond that, we don't have much more information as to what's on the agenda. we do know,
8:22 pm
however, that the, as rarely i'm boss of the, to the us is about to speak to reporters outside the security council. within the next 10 minutes. what we're looking about will also be trying to catch representatives from the various missions on the way into that security council meeting. we've been hearing particularly from amnesty international and other international organizations, but the root causes of these violence need to be addressed. i mean, how likely is that going to be the case at this making a terribly, the, we've just had a very kind of boiler plate come the nations from the west of nations on brazil against thomas's incursion into israel, o, b u a e is aust for a, a resumption or a reinvigoration of what school the core taps that is the us in the us, you and russia, which was supposedly over c. and so i was sort of peace prize, but apparently it was clear isn't what i think a lot of the reporting. and i mean,
8:23 pm
i guess you've been talking to the side of that has been the sense of complacency that this is old. basically, this is always going to keep quiet. and to be honest, actually bizarre, pivotal moments of the un general assembly right here, just just last month when they don't know who would be. but there's a prime minister benjamin netanyahu brandished a map of the new room, at least if you interpret assembly, i wish there was no mention of the palestinians. that was just, there is arab states and israel. and you have to look back then and up to the image of the un general assembly as to why did we hold? we're looking back to that particular moment clearly as far as benjamin netanyahu is concerned. the power steering question goes over, but clearly i must have other ideas and they start to context must speak and say that you're right. thank you so much. does she have her time see at the united nations for us? let's head to london now where harry forces is standing by harry and number of european nations have increased their security as a result of this conflict in the past 2 days. how they trying to reassure their
8:24 pm
citizens a, a. that's right, a number of european nations talking about the potential threats to the jewish citizen, this the jewish communities. so we've heard from the french that they planned to increase protection at schools and the synagogues, the police here in london, talking about increased patrols and also planning for potential protests in the coming days. presumably looking forward to the kind of is really attack on garza that we might be expecting in the coming days. any protests against that. also in the last few minutes, we've seen a video from the vice prime minister recently, so not can, which he told about this being the moment for equivocation and the day who would be unequivocal in blaming him. us added supporters for what was taking place inside israel. palestine at the moment, also saying that he had spoken to the is where the prime minister benjamin netanyahu,
8:25 pm
and also britain steadfast support and any assistance that israel might need. that was one of the full conversations that these ready prime minister had during the course of the afternoon on sunday. he also spoke to the german leader of the training president, the prime minister of italy as well. and so there is this continued very strong support for israel and very strong combination of the kind of large scale civilian killing that was carried out by those how much fights is on saturday. and also the kidnappings of some of those people and the taking them inside garza. there are certainly growing reports that many of those people already, several of them may be foreign nationals. there's one missing britain for example. so increasing levels of concern is also being one line from the united nations world food program, based in rome. they are calling for the opening and the maintaining all the humanitarians food colorado, into garza,
8:26 pm
a head of whatever. what is expecting to be this very large scale ramping up of these really made a tree, actually really appreciate the updates harry force it in london for us. let's take a look now at the latest conversations that are happening on social media, about the israel, gaza with laura con has been monitoring what's happening online. the words that's being used over a nose from news. the social media is that the home us military wings infiltration of the golf offense was unprecedented. this video was posted by august bumper gates the military wing of hamas from the websites to telecom. they have filled, make us with the recording every moment they wanted the world to see as they broke through the fence. some of the paralyzes were film from the policy and israel, the full people, sledge, meant able, killed, or captured, as they sent thousands of rockets from, gone to this ex. he's a posted white streets,
8:27 pm
rockets as the skies of jerusalem. and this was posted from tel aviv airport, as passengers were told to lay flat on the ground. within a few hours, people in gulf, it took 2 x. the post is right. as straight from golf. there has been much criticism across the platforms. so i see how israel could have been blind funded, janis spelled truth based on x, that is above price, but was most powerful surveillance software, but no one. so this coming agendas, i'm so 5 for says money's been comparing this to what is right, is cool. the concepts, an idea that israel was infallible. the folder was surprise 50 years ago when egypt and syria attacked in the 1973 war, bought 2 points out, a key difference. this is known as a wolf, israel survival. it's not facing invading armies. and all this took the social media to point out double standards in the outrage express over the most offensive
