10:06 pm
a sign is real intense, a land invasion of the strip. and despite costs for an end to us, still it is coming from saudi arabia and elsewhere. there is no sign of the immediate offers of mediation that used to follow every previous is really war on gaza. rob reynolds, l g 0 in southern israel, near the border with gaza. all right, we have a team of correspondence on the ground covering this to recap was whom is life for us inside gaza mohammed gems room is in west jerusalem and run con, you're in ramallah and the occupied westbank for so let's go to washington dc. alpha 0 is alan fisher is standing by there. alan, the us is pledging military assets to support israel. tell us more about that. it certainly we've been talking about it for more than 24 hours. lloyd dawson, the defend 6 weeks said they would give is really is whatever the data required and joe biden and a phone call with benjamin netanyahu. and the last couple of hours said that once they find out what the israelis wanted,
10:07 pm
then they would start moving that we are told that the 1st shipment of weapons has gone among the things that are being considered is replenishment for the i am don't system member that spends with the system that stops real kits. i was simply overwhelmed by the number of real kids that were fired from guys, a alley on saturday morning. the us is also reinforcing its own troops in the area . they're sending a carrier group, which is normally an aircraft carrier plus 5 other vessels that is helping to the region there also sending more planes to their bases in the area as well. and doing the phone call between by midnight and yahoo! the us president said that no enemy of israel should seek to take advantage of this moment. the us just reinforcing their forces they to act almost as of the tenants. alan, how do you read the us sending an aircraft carrier to the region? is one thing to send and to consider sending military assets to israel for it to
10:08 pm
use. but if the us a sending is reinforcing its own troops, you mentioned an aircraft carrier. what does that tell us? or i, if you speak to some experts that i have in the last few hours, it's pushed through it, guess what the united states does. it's a show of stress and it doesn't actually impact anything in real terms. but it just shows that the americans are supporting israel by putting more resources in the area rather than actually putting but so on the growing. well, the thing is, is more important and the phone call between jo bite and then benjamin netanyahu was a job. i reiterated the fact that there had been extensive diplomatic corporations by the united states over the last 24 hours. and we know that on to the blink and the secretary of state spent a large part of saturday on the phone. he spoke to the egyptians to the saudis, to the talk. he also spoke to the president of the palestinian authority. and the also spoke to the can tardies. a lot of those countries have got links with some us
10:09 pm
. and certainly the united states are saying they want to contain what is happening at a and what is likely to happen in gaza. but they are also putting pressure on the legs . so of the tucks to get involved on the can tati sort of links with some us and also the talks who have links with some us as well. it's certainly contact with them us rather than links would probably be a more accurate way of saying it just to put pressure on them to stop the violence . so that at least that will be, can be some, a piece for the innocent people that are getting caught up in all of this on both sides. the right alan fish and reporting from washington d. c. thank you very much. as the us is considering, as he told us, at helping israel to replenish it's ammunition for it's are in the rocket interception system. thank you. alan. now to rick assume is live in gaza for us. what are you seeing and hearing at this hour in gauze?
10:10 pm
it's eric well are the is really part and then in the gaza strip continues for the 2nd noise targeting residential towers and phone lines. uh well from the palestinian sides. the uh is. lemme get secret, treat generally in a press conference announced that the you're gonna get had money successfully to capture if 30 is really soldiers and lose and drive them back to the gaza strip as couches uh, this number simply is a cli, evidence about the level of attention and the size of confrontations between the is really all me, soldiers and between the also the palestinian resistance about us the militant groups as well from the palestinian side right now are the gaza strip is witnessing relative to earn credits. he also a series of strikes that strokes different neighborhoods inside the goal is this
10:11 pm
trip central in the nose and even in the south of gauze, restaurant gardens are waiting for more all kinds of strikes. i'd be glad you understand that this 9 to one to simply pause, without having great losses in terms of 11, even of the press releases and statements released by the is where the occupation leadership in terms of the, of the threats and even the punishments or the bit price, but the gaza strip must pay due to its wide comprehensive campaign that had been launched by the militant groups and saw the goal is to strength a topic earlier today. the how most folks person told elza 0, that they were still sending fighters across the border into israel to go and assess the commandos infiltrated israel starting saturday morning. is that still the case? well, the case is generally related to the uh, the original existing troops inside the is really
10:12 pm
a system is which all 5 think. so this current moment inside difference a by votes. so places in the goal is adjacent settlements, different kinds of backup have been sent to the uh, to the existing troops. the main effects. uh nope, but it has the proper information about the shape of confrontations inside the uh, is really settlements, not even the number of casualties and both sides as we, as the financing uh, keeps going the uh, every single hour. we have a roys in the number of casualties and both sides, according to the uh minnes true hills in pull spots. when home us launch the operation. um, just a little bit short of 48 hours from now. uh, 48 hours ago. i should say. they said this was, they said something to the effect of this was just the beginning. do we know if there is more that is being planned by home,
10:13 pm
us as well. they mean by the beginning, like the, the 1st or the initial attack on the goals or jasons settlement by using all the ground troops to conquer. and so in days he is really, as he does, a decent settlement is just oh, the only size of the conflicts between both of parts of the scenario is going to be disclosed by the palestinian militant groups later, according to the actual scenarios that had been imposed by the militant groups before a couple of hours. the uh, the official baggage of the uh, homeless ministry ring said that the, uh, a number of palestinian uh, naval forces in for trade to, to, uh, us to loan. and then you have released also a, b, g which really, dr. meant the uh, the process of nutrition as well and even the, the scenes of the tubes and talk to so we'll just inside of the city. all right.
10:14 pm
all right. god bless whom. thank you very much for joining us. live from inside the gaza strip at this hour. now israel's defense minister says i'm us will soon regret its attack on israel. you will have good lunch met with security officials while visiting 7. israel is really forces are still fighting him us commandos who have infiltrated several towns in the south. malcolm, we will exact a heavy price from home us. they'll pay for what they did and this action will be remembered and goes out for the next 50 years. and they will regret what they started, the stone bomb exams. room is in west jerusalem for us mohammed, another development today. the is really cabinet has declared war. i understand that the connect sent these really parliament will vote on that tomorrow. it. what is this? what do we read into this? because israel has already been a war without formerly, without doing what they're doing now, and formerly declaring war. so is this about messaging, or does this give them expanded powers?
10:15 pm
surely it's about formalizing the process. first and foremost, as you said, you've heard already prime minister benjamin netanyahu. yesterday he came out and said the country is at war. then after that, you had the cabinet meeting, the cabinet approved the declaration of war. that means among other things that the prime minister and the defense minister have expanded powers to go ahead and essentially order operations that they don't need to get specific authorization from the cabinet for going forward. that's one of the things that we're, that, that the prime minister and the defense minister will have as a result of the cabinet approving the declaration of war. now tomorrow, this is all going to go to the kinetic israel's parliament. there is a committee within the can asset that is going to look at it that is going to vote on it. and it is widely expected approved the declaration of war. then thereafter, the prime minister as part of the formal obligation when declaring war will have to
10:16 pm
present this to the full can that said, he will stand there at the can as it in front of the members. and he will declare that all of this has been approved that legalizes, the process that formalize is the process, essentially it does it retroactively because the country is already at work. now, couple of other developments just to mention to you 0, just in the past couple of hours, we learned that the prime minister, the defense minister and other security officials were meeting that there was another security assessment going on that it's happening at the defense and ministry in tel aviv, so we are expecting that we'll get more details about what has been discussed within the next few hours. so. okay, well this ties in with what i was gonna ask you. um, what are the next steps for the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government? it's a 0. here's where it gets really interesting because this is a time as you and i discussed on there many times the last several months. when is
10:17 pm
really society up until now has been very polarized. the government has been very polarized. you have also the most hard line right when government in the country's history that was all before yesterday because what's happening now is sort of rallying around the flag and you've had offers from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and his liquid party, as well as overtures from members of the opposition, who essentially have said it's time to form an emergency unity government to put aside massive political and ideological differences to come together at a time of crisis and move forward when it comes to how they deal with this war. it certainly looks as though all of those differences are being ironed out right now. and we do expect that within the next few days that a unity government will be officially announced. there have been some members of the opposition that have put conditions on that. there have been other members of the opposition, like former defense minister benny gant, who gave
10:18 pm
a statement uh that was televised earlier this evening. essentially said he's ready to go ahead and join the unity government whenever it happens. and as we stated, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has already said that he is willing to do this. so from reports that we've seen and these really media, there are a lot of discussions going on right now. potentially negotiation is going on. so many people in the country expect this is going to happen. this is a time when people are unifying behind the government because of what happened. and so we do expect that this is something that will be formally announced in the days to comp 0, manage option, reporting from west jerusalem for us. thank you very much mom and know him or on con is in ramallah. what's the news coming out of the occupied westbank this evening and run as well in the last uh, 30 minutes. uh also uh that would process that took place to the next line. the check point is really not very far from where i'm standing right now because on the check point actually links is the check point that takes you from
10:19 pm
a lot from the occupied westbank into occupied east jerusalem. um they were classes that took place that there was an exchange of 5 and 2 people have died the vin number of injuries that as well. another palestinian man has been shows in the heads were expecting that death told the rise in the last 3 hours. also we've seen a man shot dead in hebron. it was the same another man to a shot dead in jericho. we're also hearing that in the last 24 hours from the policy and you read presently, ambulance service effectively telling us that a $31.00 has been wounded in the west bank. sorry, 45, have been wounded in the west, like 31 of those by the use of live a fight. and now often that live fi takes place against on the palestinian civilians. now we've been seeing these protests, these protests of people coming out in suppose of a, what time us is actually doing. there was a strike here in the, across the occupied westbank schools were shut, banks were shut, government offices were shot. in fact, this is the quietest i've ever actually seen
10:20 pm
a remodel of so that strike actually took hold of a sporadic protest taking place. but those protests have now turned into something of a situation where we are now seeing palestinians being shot dead by is ready for us is now in columbia. is the 1st time we've heard about an exchange of fire that so we're expecting that to that, that so rather to rise in the coming out emerald. i wonder where all of this, by all of this, i mean the war between is realized home us where it all leaves the palestinian authority that runs the occupied westbank. i mean, do they have influence over anything at the moment because everything it seems is being driven by their arrivals. home us the well, the still, the palestinian authority, the still the people that the international community deal with a they have been speaking to international community. it always levels is actually been speaking to the palestinian authority. you heard. right. and so just earlier,
10:21 pm
the representative that tv united nations give an unprecedented speech saying that the international community has let down the palestinians that remain silent, that it keeps facilitating the israelis and then i'll keep patient of the occupied westbank and occupied east jerusalem. it also allows these radius to continue that siege on garza that has led to where we're at to affectively today. but there are other things that the palestinian authority of doing that trying to negotiate with egypt. sions right now to who open the right foot board across the gulf board of crossing goes from egypt into the goals district. they want it open so they can start sending in humanitarian aid. so those are the things that they can do. but the policy and authority of stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to this, because well, that they have to deal with the international community. there's not a huge amount of powerful leverage that they have. in fact,
10:22 pm
they have to offer the is res security guarantees. they have to offer effectively the occupying power within the o. 2 pod westbank and other places, guarantees that these ratings will be safe. that's an process that's never happened in occupying the situation before. so that's something that they have to deal with the all the things that they can do, they can just simply stop little of those agreements with these right least that may be something that we start hearing about in the next few days. but right now, the posting you authorize here, allowing these protests to take place. they're allowing the palestinians out on the street to show that support the mass. but behind close those, they'll be talking to each other wondering what response to formulate the allows them some sort of leeway, some sort of sight of the situation as it is to let him run kind of importing from ramallah there from the occupied west bank. thank you very much him, ron, and you just heard him referencing the, the palestinian ambassador to the united nations. that's because an emergency closed or session of the un security council is currently under way to discuss the
10:23 pm
conflict. so we've heard multiple players in this conflict, including rehab, mentor, the palestinian, and bassett, or he's calling for israel's blockade of gaza at the end. while deploying the rising civilian desktop is an keeps saying the blockade and repeated assault. some guys are to destroy him. us military capabilities and ensure security. clearly an ex and expectedly it's blockade assault, accomplished. these are the only thing they did accomplish was inflicting to have been suffering on an entire civilian population. it is time for an immediate and to the violence and the blood shed. and it is
10:24 pm
time to end this blockade and to open it, put it to come price. when is it a now tries to justify yet another assault? by the same for the premise, no one should say or do anything to encourage it down this path. we know only to read the messages about is the, is the right to defend itself. would it be interpreted by? is it a is as license to kids to parents who on the very path that led us here? well sure, 100 times he is at the united nations for us. you have tell us about this meeting this under way. as i understand it. i mean, who's in it, do we know precisely what they're discussing? and when do you expect to perhaps hear from them? and as you mentioned, least this is a closed meeting actually the big but the exact to have
10:25 pm
a closed consultations. it's all actually a full, amazing, uh, view and security counsel. initially this was a private meeting that was cool to the security council's that is a full meeting at which the israeli and palestinian representatives could also attend and participate. but the uh, during of several council members, this was tempted to close consultations. only the members of your own security council present, and that being briefed by the un special coordinator for the middle east peace process tool. when is less than what we get a sense of, we got was what they wanted. was just the facts, ma'am reactors. you can say they want to hear from the un code later, the un folks on the ground. what exactly is the assessment of, of the current situation that in fact we are getting, we have a source who is giving us some snippets of what's the un cool data is telling the security council. he says that he says that the magnitude of what happens could change the situation on the ground,
10:26 pm
irreversibly. we must do our most to avoid and prevent the spillover. and the adage, he said that this is not happening in a vacuum. for years, people have been losing hope, so that's where we have a sound, the cold, or a sense of what the cold weather un coordinator is saying. we did hear from the us deputy, our boss that are on his way. and he said that as far as he was concerned, he wants to hear what's, what's the un spikes, but un represents, it's hard to say about the situation on the ground. but for him, the main, the main priority was to hear from the other members of the security council for bait condemned home offices, encouraging them off flooding cards. and that's his priority. he was also about whether that was a formal statement. he said, like, he doesn't want to pre judge that that's not the priority right now for trying to use the past. it was us, whatever he agreed with having a formal state. but he said, yes, it would be good for the un security council to have a formal statement and the china condemned all acts of uh, well actually go just civilians but squared away early stage. it would seem as far
10:27 pm
as un security council action is concerned, we have this brief thing right now, but that's their formal statement. things like that, as far as we can tell she, advert time, see any major developments coming out of you and you'll let us know as soon as they do if they do, she help. thank you very much. that's bringing the eldest. you're a senior political analyst, more one of the sharra, you're joining us live from powers. this is day 2 of the war as day to comes to a close. maybe that's maybe i shouldn't say that maybe that's premature because we know that things going to happen overnight yesterday. palestinians were killed in the occupied west bank overnight. there were the air raids on does the overnight, but you get my general point where we're closing in on 48 hours since this thing has begun. what is your overall assessment? just big picture for now? well, these are certainly what event phone 2 days. but i think the next 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years and beyond, probably going to be even more eventful. this is going to be a long war. that's for sure. and clearly what happened this weekend is
10:28 pm
a game changer is our kind of sign and perhaps in the region. and clearly that is right as a government, having been undermined by this surprise attack. and by the extent to which it goes so much harm in the southern part of his road is bound to react as bound to use uh, extreme force against that. but of sentience and perhaps take unprecedented measures or perhaps prayers invented but not so long time, which includes amex ations or to include 3 occupying a certain parts of the occupied goods or some of them. and potentially also the expansion limited or otherwise off by the city. and so i think the, the scenarios are wide open now for some dramatic escalation. and it started posting at the top of the show. um,
10:29 pm
allen's fisher in washington was reporting on the contacts between israel and the us, and particularly the phone call between us president joe biden. and the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. uh the us are currently considering uh uh, exceeding to israel's demand to replenish their ammunition for the i and don't system a and that, and perhaps as well, other requests for further military assets. your thoughts on that? what actually, i mean to, you know, that's to be expected there, but let's all remember that is that it is one of the more powerful countries, not only invasion in the world when it comes to have its head force. the last thing is there a need is in fact committed to the health when it comes to dealing with casa, and it should be median surroundings. it certainly more than capable of doing so, i'm just all sorted minded for who's around the world is never heard of and it
10:30 pm
seems to be accepted. american or other countries, boots on the ground and is, or it's always focused on what was as it were, if it won't even accept un, keep, keep that these people for jobs that i think the more dangerous for, and this is really uh, i mean, we just got to sleep on a dry. uh, but the decision probably uh to send aircraft carriers for the aircraft carrier as what as a number of destroyers to the area, to the eastern mediterranean. it not probably deposed starting to $25.00. under the pretext all, we're sending them in order to make sure things don't go out of control. order to make sure don't do detours, things from getting worse while, but the mere fact of sending them to send that explanation signal to various parts invasions which opened to us now,
