2:03 pm
this is where the is ready for suggesting that those 1100000 people move to from gaza city. you've made that journey, talk us through what that was like in yes, i've made the journey on a positive journey, thinking about my kids and thinking about my families and what would happen to them if we did stay. the journey was a devastating journey. we have to go to rebel, we have to wait for hours for other cars that were able to get to fine units from god to tell us where to where that route and the treats the b y the, the drove into that were safe for us to drive into a so that we can walk away from the rubble under bombardment and, and you see so many people, even on the good a dock attacks caring backpacks with their children going, going towards the south. it's a very long way drive from got this would be towards the south,
2:04 pm
but people are this desperate snake to, to, to run for their lives, to do whatever they can to in order to at least try to save their kid from what is coming the unknown what is right, it was saying that it will carry on because it's just after 2 pm local time, which is which is right now. this is 2 pm local time. it's dave like 24 hours to 2 am in the morning until 2 pm this afternoon for people to evacuate. for 1100000 people to ease lock you away from god, the city and the north. towards the south. you're certainly saying that people need to do this for their own safety, but are you getting any indications that they would be any safer as they moved further south? what is security like their as well?
2:05 pm
how is it for their space to when israel knows for sure, because it's still exactly every single corner in the gaza strip. that there is no space for the people. the capacity, the entire capacity of the governors office con units wouldn't take this people. it's asking them to do something that is impossible is or is it possible for this amount because it's got to mation to add to the old radio. i'm not population that is found in hon. eunice and iraq to get to, to, to, to carry oldest people. and yet it's still asking them to do so and never, and that's it's also asking the hospital and then they do an school p lucky we don't need, how will these people get to appear to the south? the know cars uh, working there is no transportation. people who manage to get to one unit they drove in their personal cars. so it's, it's basically asking people to do something this adrian for itself knows,
2:06 pm
is it possible? and yet the market is still going on is in, in, in the, in the south and government for 100 units in dropbox. so basically, we just, we just feel now that we run away from being boardman to another choice of boardman . we where yes to experience what israel is a is planning to do in the upcoming hours to got the city. is it not then cause it's just, you know, we saw just about an hour or so ago we had pictures that were being fed to us of what appeared to be a leaflets that were being dropped. we think of a gaza city, but we're not entirely sure about the, the, the location. do you have anymore information about that? do you have any idea of what if these wildly fits what they were saying? yes, these 3 flights are always uh, dropped by the is really military. uh, every time the warranty is up to a certain, uh, certain place. so these uh,
2:07 pm
let's say before the people up in north garza and nothing got to it, got the city to iraq to wait to uh, the southern part of got this, just put you after why the guns which starts from han units and russell. so it's basically telling the population for sure to wait while the population is less desperately asking, how do we is back to wait and where do we evacuate? even though thank you very much. indeed, that seemed to say and talking to us from con eunice in the southern gaza. let's take a quick look at the statement that was issued by homeless just a short while ago. it urges people to stay in their homes and not to respond to what it caused. rumors spread by the occupation. the group says following consultations with egypt and official palestinian bodies, it rejects the idea of relocation from us also says palestinians will stay strong and steadfast. and will never repeat the tragedy of 1948 as
2:08 pm

2:09 pm
a very similar message. it's worth noting that yesterday, while he was at a nato defend sexy meeting in brussels, he made it very clear that united states expects and a host. or is there any minute you to do what he called the right things when it pertains to the conflict in gaza, a reference to the possible precautions, all possible proportions of lincoln thoughts about yesterday to avoid civilian casualties. he's meeting with us now. who with us go on, we're expecting to hear from the 2 of them the to depends ministers. any moment now and also benny guns, the form of defense minister who's not part of this small little cabinet that the is ready. government of an emergency government has established. he's going to be talking about not just strategy, but also the possibility that israel requires by the reinforcements in terms of munitions, in terms of weaponry. we've seen already naval vessels arriving here. we've seen thousands of us planes being relocated to add bases around the region. ross, and of course the end of the mechanism is ready. minutes are used to protect
2:10 pm
systems from high mass rockets using intercepts and miss of thought is running out of us in seemingly why the us has been supplying more than the last couple of days . but and thanks very much indeed, as you say, we're keeping an eye out for that press conference and from television between us defense secretary lloyd austin is going to be talking to talking with is ready defense, mr. you'll have it all on for now, but i'm thanks very much indeed for the marks interview internationally accepted rules of all the calls that govern the treatment of civilian soldiers and prisoners of war. the 1949 geneva conventions. i've been ross of 5 by all un member states, including israel, you into monetary, and experts on rights activists have condemned israel's indiscriminate attacks on garza as well as its air c on line cj enforcement. no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. every single will be closed. i mean, we have fighting against human animal. i think that there is ready air strikes have
2:11 pm
been constant on sparing killing more than 1500 pound of standards and injuring fighters is more than a few days. the is really military has dropped 5 thousands of bottoms on one of the world's most densely populated areas. entire neighborhoods have been flattened and hundreds of thousands of families are displaced. at least 6 health care workers and 11 un stoppers have been killed and is really air strikes, the polish standing and ready to trust and says it's crews, word directory charges officer, the homeless attack, a member of finance and nothing. yeah. who's the code party and also a member of the class? it said this on the social media platform x right now. one go knock from a knock bond that will overshadow the knock for a 48 to knock by in gaza, and knock back to anyone who dares to join. knock by all the catastrophe refers to the forced exodus apollo standings from the homes in 1948 when the state of israel was created is how do i call these next loc spoke to toby cabinet is an
2:12 pm
international law specialist, and he says that all the war crimes may have already been committed, bringing those responsible to the international criminal court will be difficult without international cooperation. what we've already seen is, is by shutting off any humanitarian access to, to cause shutting off water. i mean, stopping people that of course i'm actual crime so no one is taking to excuse what, what, how much is done leading up to this, but the response by israel was no driving thing colt as well. right? absolutely. i mean, the prosecute to was very clear that both sides sides to the conflict are on notice that the conduct is being scrutinized with potential more control just been grouped, but he said charges might be pro, but that's the thing. got lots of teeth and those charges will there be any action down the line? will they have it when people have a face just as well?
2:13 pm
it's one of the, one of the failings of the insightful criminal court in being able to execute it so far too. as we've seen with the what's it done, we've not seen through to him with the rest of our being issued. and the practical possibility of having those individuals before colt. i'm certainly from the palestinian and his ready sides. i think from the publishing side they had to ratify it or that signed up or to, to the rest actually given you guys, he said, jurisdictions, they would have to show that they will cooperate with an investigation. israel has made us its position perfectly clear that they will not cooperate in any way, but it's going to make it very difficult for political and military leaders to travel if there are rest warranty issues. and if there are indictments issued on the basis of this current campaign, and we would have to see how that plays, that obviously the us will play an important role in that. luckily we not in the
2:14 pm
situation that we have on the trump. and so we, and we say the us is moving much more towards cool corporate thing with the i c. c . secondly, as far as the credit is concerned, but what i see here will be a very different matter. ok, i want to take you to some pictures that we've been seeing the just in the last few minutes or so. these extensively are pictures from gaza, which of showing people who are making their way 5, following that announcement, all that demanded by israel. but 1100000 product standings in gaza sheet heads so for their own safety. the anticipation is that there may be some military action which israel is intending in garza city itself. it is saying that people should make fairway sells towards the reasons of funding eunice and more and further set up for their own safety to a load that military operations to take place. israel says it is going to be targeting the fighters of from us, i'll call this front of you know, face was describing to us just
2:15 pm
a few moments ago how she and her family have made this journey to call us in order to be able to move away from joseph, but she was also describing seems like this with hundreds of people, possibly thousands as they the day progresses, making their way for the size. for protection. now he's ready for it is a 5 tier guy said dozens of palestinians trying to enter the old city in jerusalem . then what does empting to reach out? ok, so mosque for friday. prayers from us grew named as military operation against israel . all. ok, so fun as a response to is very a tax on wash refers to mosque, maybe on like so. most combine is one of the holiest sites for muslims, jews, and christians. it also symbolizes the daily injustices faced by palestinians and occupied east jerusalem. and his legal status has been a constant flash point. alexa is as long as a 3rd holy sites of jews refer to it as a temple monitored,
2:16 pm
believe that to biblical temples, one stood there. it's home to the dome rock, where most of us believe the prophet mohammed ascended to heaven, sometimes confused with the most, but the most good self life here at the southern end of the comp time only most themselves. i to like to pray in its compound. then there is the western wall for jews around the world come to prey. they believe it's the remains of an ancient temple sort of products centers. this update from lion's gate is an entrance to the old city and occupying the east of us. i just want to give you a background or as to what like as long day is one of the 7 gates allows you into, oh ok. so most compound, it's an area that includes all ok, so most now we came earlier was very, very quiet. you can clearly see the security is set up sir, and it is to me was being told by some of the palestinian with symbol. i suppose that there was no allowing such an ages in uh that number has varied. however,
2:17 pm
speaking to a lot of the locals, the saying that most of the youngsters, aside from the under the age of 35, hasn't been allowed to the pres, because of the situation at the moment we ourselves witness some of the women being turned away. some of the youngsters being turned away. um, some people, including, for example, an older male. he's probably the coffee stick from an area code. so why now? so one has been a hotspot. this for tensions between uh palestinians, as well as writing security forces here in old jerusalem. but i actually want you to speak. we want to speak to holly and who's just come out from that friday. perhaps i'm heading. can you tell us what's the situation for palestinian suddenly from jerusalem the one thing to pray, hey, i'll ox up. most of this has happened before where they prevented people assessing ages from entering. i'm talking about these ready security forces. is there any
2:18 pm
different today when you and so then what was your experience coming in? the children are, you know, today is friday and we come here to, to pray or friday praying. and once i go from outside, are you faced teachers points actually and they just tossed hosted, you know, they kept us for huffman the word. then because we are, you know, above 50 years old, they need us to go inside. and once we get, you know, the 1st 2 points, we go to the 2nd, the chick point um, since you are, they stopped us here. um they checked my bags while i hauled and so and, and so forth. so we get inside the bottles. and unfortunately there's, there's no, yeah, i mean, there's only a few prayers inside the most because they get into to don't prayers most tempers to get to pray freely in the excellence i spoke to a palestinian in a real chat about how to pray just further down that because it was difficult for
2:19 pm
him to enter and he said that it's really quiet he today which is very unusual because of course it looks almost because the 3rd hardly is thoughtful most times. um. are you concerned about moving forward off the situation and his role declaring war as a, as a tourist, as someone who is from jerusalem, you were telling me what is the situation for you right now? i'm in terms of moving people staying at home. can you tell me more about the experience to you, lee? you know, distribution is photos. for example, i have a boy, he's like 16 years old. i keep him all the time at home. i don't really to go outside even to, to buy anything from any of your supermarket or some something else because you know, that is all you produce. produce, man, they is ready. security. uh, uh, i don't know. they, they took everybody, there her us every, every single, every single part of seen an injury was the name of the don't hesitate to even to
2:20 pm
shoot, to show you what a scene is for nothing, for photo, for me, i don't know if maybe no body is on i'll just see it as well. how much energy rooms at damascus gate and occupied east jerusalem. he sent this update a 1st let me just tell you what's going on behind us. as you can see, there's still a lot of security personnel here. we have started seeing worshippers that have been emerging because friday prayers now over. so we are expected to see more in the moments to come. and we did see, as sarah mentioned, a lot of men who were in the younger ages of 35 and under who had been turned away . not being able to access the mask, escape and get to an ox. a must compound in the past hour, hour and a half. and i spoke to some of them to ask them what they were feeling. some of them, after they emerged, waited here and off to the side where we are, they gathered and they pray. they went ahead and prayed out here close to the street. the other one spoke to us and talked about the frustration that they're feeling about not being able to go and not being able to get to the most comp out
2:21 pm
on a day like today. but also we ask them about their feelings right now in the wake of what's going on in gaza. so many of them told us about how concerned they are about palestinians in gaza. they're extremely concerned today because of the fact that there has been this evacuation order. they say they don't know where the residents and goals are going to be able to go. many of them said to us, they believe this is going to be a humanitarian catastrophe. one man that i spoke with also pointed out, he said that he was very, very dismayed and very disturb, to have seen what happened when i'm us attacked southern israel and he said that civilians, women and children should never have been targeted. another man that i spoke with said that the fact of the matter is right now. the situation has gone much more perilous and his words for palestinians. he says, because of what happened because of the attacks. you said now, loops the of the future for them is far more uncertain than it was and it was already very uncertain. he says things are very dire now,
2:22 pm
and they're very concerned that essentially they're going to be facing a much harsher reality than they already do. going forward now i just want to mention again, you see the stepped up security behind us. we were told earlier in the day there's at least 2500 the security offers officers that have been deployed to this area of occupied east jerusalem today. that's one of the reasons we have not seen a lot of worshipers being able to access this area. being able to get into the lock some last compound. but also one of the things that we've seen, people have said that they know relatives who didn't want to come out today. they're concerned about the security situation. they just don't know about what's going to be happening in the hours and the days ahead. so it's a tenuous situation. it's a tense situation. it has been quiet here where we are at the mass gate. we've not seen any clashes, but certainly what we've heard from people. they are very worried about what's going to be happening in the days ahead. the interact sizes that people have
2:23 pm
gathered in central baghdad and to show solidarity palestinians in garza. and they've come to the liberty monuments in talk to a square and a some of the show supports taking place in the run partisans on marching through central to con. we're going to bring in, i'm doing all right, and the kids associate professor of the history of and at least at georgetown university and kind of very good to have you with us. so thank you very much. indeed. iran for the minister has been in 11 and talking about the recent exchanges of 5 between israel and southern lebanon, particularly. he has also one that there is a possibility that this could spill over the borders of israel and gaza. i move into the wider region. what do you think is the risk of that happening? well, to this point, we haven't really seen much, much evidence of that, right? that all of the violence for the most part has been concentrated in, in palestine and israel. and of course, specifically targeting the people of casa, i think, you know, the idea that this could spill over is really determined by what happens probably
2:24 pm
in the next, you know, 24 to 48 hours, depending on whether this operation escalates to such a significant degree. that there might be a response with a for see if his beloved makes specific threats regarding you know, that what's happening with regard to the palestinians and gaza and their treatments and so forth. but in terms of whether there's actually an action taken on the part of any outside party so far, we haven't really seen evidence of that. we do know, of course, that, that israel has, you know, targeted attacks within lebanon and within syria. but beyond that, there hasn't really been a kind of an outright escalation, and i want to talk to you about us. secondly, to say, down to the blinking in his toward that he's doing at the moment. unfortunately, regards of significant countries within the region from might be able to create some sort of diplomatic basis for, for negotiation, or at least giving a pause to what, what's going on. and we're talking about a conflict in which folder nationals have di, both in israel and during the attack by from us, and also allegedly according to calm us. going to look during the attacks by israel
2:25 pm
as well. and what is the, what dynamic does that bring to the conflict of foreign nationals are killed in this? well, i mean, i think the, certainly there embassies that are concerned about the welfare of their citizens and, and, you know, there is some talk of, of kind of attempting to intervene of offering humanitarian cory doors and so forth . but again, as long as the onslaught of gaza continues unabated without any sense of limitation without any sense of a cease fire upcoming to it, could i use interrupt you there? because between waiting for a press conference that's being held in calories between the us defense secretary lloyd austin, and israel's defense minister, you all go on. it's happening. not actually the i just, i have just left the war. we said, well, this is why have just left the war. we said, well, decisions made on the is why the security on the most sensitive interest. i believe the secretary or flight physical development, you know,
