which is international law today about 1700000 refugees of living in the gaza strip . mostly in these h u. n recognized camps. they are among the most densely populated areas in the world. and now more than 200000 palestinian refugees living in some of the largest and most crowded refugee camps in the gaza strip are among the 1100000 people being told to relocate to the south. elliot out to 0, spoke to yon eagle, and he's the head of the norwegian refugee council. he described a desperate situation in gaza and pleaded for what he called, a minimum of sanity. to bring an end to the spiral of fun. it's really has a great responsibility and i'm saying that the all western media now is read has to respect international humanitarian law to for simply relocate entire populations is a violation of the law to have
11:31 pm
a siege and stop out $1200000.00 is a violation of the law, we have to condemn that it. but listen, the on the violation. so this one does not justify the killing of civilians or the whole thing of grandmothers and children as hostages. so i think we have to have some minimum of time to, to here. and it could start now with the quote for an end to the bombardment and enter the seats and into the hostage tasting and enter the mist as going to. that is what it has to end before too many children are that, and that's it for me, emily anglin, i'll be back at the top of the hour with the more special ongoing coverage of the guys as well. will these live pictures out of guys are at the moment?

11:34 pm
is spokesperson for from mass. thank you so much for joining me on upfront. thank you. on october 7th, how mass launch that attack when they fire thousands of rockets into israel militants into the country into scores of civilians hostage including women and children and the elderly. while the right of resistance is absolutely secured for all occupied people under international law, the use of force is not unlimited, and targeting civilians and taking hostages are war crimes. how can you justify attacking civilian targets? i was thank you for having me. first of all, i have to say that this is the story from these very besides, which is not to lead me to. i have to tell you to orleans if was the image on the list to us today and finalize their assets every month. and they said there is no evidence is that time i slow to children,
11:35 pm
i'm sorry that the government is using backdoor committed crimes and goes. so this is, this is the 1st part of the officer. we have also some reason why it is, i think this has not happened and it's use this as 25th story to use to kind of more kind of statements. but this is right, but the question was how do i justify attacking civilian side of the course? a lot of the question, you know, the question was how can you justify attacking civilian targets was when you listen? no, the question was how can you just the right 2nd facility and target you are often you ask me that when we make this real what the right question is what? but i do what i would like you to answer this question. how do you justify the target? this is i don't question and i'm not going to the same game. we'll say somebody's, well i'm asking a very clear question about civilian. oh, but let me, let me ask a very direct question. any civilians been killed when i don't know exactly because this is was told by that somebody. it is. what i'm telling you that for you just
11:36 pm
this is an anti government. you're decided on that he says civilians were killed. no, he didn't say he will. he said no evidence that shows that he said what a slot and the dozens of the bodies up is rarely murdered in their homes. to me, those are his words. you are wasting the time. it's your time is not my time. you are listening, but not all right. let's pause for the question. while i'm up with you find out that the billions had been killed. would you consider that justified or would you consider that unjustified? there is 300 children have been killed today and goes up by the latest to a 100 women have been killed today by the as late as in does 1000 to have the children with in just 1000 women with and jumped today just today. and just the thing that you are asking me their own question,
11:37 pm
you'll have to ask about what is happening does, which is on the siege for the last 17 years, which are, which is on the offensive, is an idea that for the last 4 days, you keep asking about this about it is why you don't ask about the statements to solve the furnace. that net is not cert. i'm not sure that the rest of the salesman. i have to continue. you are asking about the use. you won't ask about the students. no one cares about the students. this is the story. the story is the compassion, 75 years of provision for the kind of statements we have to talk about that your vision and how that sort of thing. and i'm looking to, for the basic to vision our and how can we make, i mean, for this situation, this is a study as not the story about what you want us to know about. okay. i understand your perspective to be clear. after this interview i will be interviewing a representative of these really military and i will be asking him about israel's
11:38 pm
war crimes. i absolutely acknowledge that israel has committed war crimes. in fact, i have written a book with a whole. 6 about gaza and then in the war, crimes that be committed against guys with their so please do not suggest to me that i do not take this issue seriously. however, however, let me say is i love the thank is the but i see now that we have find out the sprint site. sorry, let me, let me go back. i, i just okay, i'm not comparing any. i'm not gonna say anything, but please allow me to finish. my question for you is, is, is everyone living inside of a settlement, a legitimate military target for him asked according to the measure, know the sick gloves. i'm not so feelings so so much again. human rights organizations have said the legal status and settlements under international human humanitarian law does not negate the rights of the civilians living there. the fact that a person lives in a settlement with a legal or not does not make him or her a legitimate military target. so getting in light of the fact that human rights
11:39 pm
organizations would argue, but even the settlements are illegal, the people living inside of them are still considered civilians. how to use the moving forward. oh, how masses, vision of whether or not settlements are legitimate military target. when they legitimate thing, which i believe in that, but his son is our land and i want people are living on our land challenging. that's your vision for the last 75 years. on the 75 years, the women that just didn't work just by the soul, just that is that it is a plus, their homeland was sticking. they were replaced by this is what came from everywhere in the world. they talk different languages, and they tell him that this land is for them. if you ask any one of them about the grace of his father, he will take you to portland or to jump to you in a month if you lost i need. but a student about the grip of is 70. if you get on further, it would take you to someplace and put a sign showing good. a good way of sending you. this is with minus 17 grandfather
11:40 pm
it was but it or maybe before that we are in this land from the days of jesus christ. don't ask me about that those 6 months and those sort of just what couldn't my people every day, every time. and this is the thought which could be it, that is this done. so for students, the kind of seeing as does not start though, let's talk about these really response to different mass attack, which has been for rick, is real, is bombing it as a and declared a complete siege. got cut off of food fuel and water from being admitted to over 2000000 people. thousands of palestinians are going to die. one resident from san eunice said, this is a bloody war that is different from previous wars. what is going on right now? is total annihilation and we see this horrific response by the israeli
11:41 pm
government. my question for you is i have the actions of the mass over the past week. made things worse for palestinians on the ground. as i, as i've done this before, they found that in front of 2014 they, they come back to the city from this and 2014, for 17 days. they cut the, the, it's for the host with us in 2014, 2500 statements with church and 2021 more than 1000 for the stevens whitfield. no one remembers the number because they are only for the students. but i want to tell you they were shocked by what had happened to them on me. i live in, i live in barnes. it military point swim, attacked by them of that this will come as the sort of does what codes are being taken as the war. but as long as i'm is what it is, was shop. this is them in tools attacking does the for the last 2 years,
11:42 pm
they fall down in a few hours. this is special. they want to get back the image of the army. they want to show everyone that is not it can destroy everyone. that's the same point. so the vision that, that's definitely, that's an important point you're making. you're saying that is real uh, sort of commit to a certain kind of response when it looks bad. that is real response disproportionately. and that israel already wants to use this as a pretext for destroying the palestinian people. i'm saying, you know, that's going to happen then. how do you calculate the decision to launch an attack? knowing that a university is going to be by knowing that power is going to be cut off, knowing that fuel is going to be cut off knowing that people are going to die because of the as rarely response. if you know that, why do you still make the, the attack, particularly when the palestinian people don't have
11:43 pm
a say and whether or not that's going to happen. this is a good question. you know, the fact that there's what it is i'm getting the scene as an all of the ways. oh the times for example, and most back in the last 10 months, more than 500. but a student has worked since most of them were shipments they were suited in the streets just the most today. i think before the, i guess the any thoughts, the fact which everyone have to understand that that the secure patient is getting the student has all the time. he's not giving them any chance to have normal life is not giving them the chance to be independent until they have their independence over. and instead even off the upstairs is of science signature, of course, like 3 months is not implementing. i mean, the service it ships who doesn't care about the international or no. so we are facing this fact there's a, it is attending you. if you are 3, be 3 things, then peacefully or if you live, assisting them. and at the end of the day that your patient is still there. so it's
11:44 pm
better to resist that being slow time they leave without even resisting that your patient. what was the goal of last week's actually? what was the, what was the immediate goal of last week's actions? what, what, what would you say the target or goal was on the go? because the goal is to make, i'm in for those that are in the tax against the, for the students to american in florida is way that acts on jewels that in my laptop and westbank taking over the lands on sort of decision. because there's light is outstanding for a long along a to patient on the stein. and i think if they don't, the sent from what had happened the last 4 days, this ottoman will not protect the the virus will not protect them. even if they were supported by them not stares. if they want to be able to fix it, they have to have the knowledge dependency on lights and to implement the services in goshen which gave us to young people device without negotiations. those are
11:45 pm
rights. no one can negotiate or watch somebody having dan, thank you so much for joining me on upfront. thank you. we tried repeatedly to get in his really armies, votes person on the show to respond to her mass, but they cancel the schedule. interviews from one of the developments and gaza, we are joined by israel's former deputy foreign minister and a former foreign policy advise, which is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. danny iowa denny ireland. thank you so much for joining me on upfront. my pleasure. danny. last saturday. the 7 mass launched, a devastating attack of thousands of rockets were fired towards israel, and hundreds of him as fighters crossed into the country. there are reports of her risk killings of is really civilians. a clear, clear violation of international law and response is really the prime minister. benjamin netanyahu threatened to turn the gaza strip into quote, rumble, and the government announced a whole complete siege of the enclave. since then,
11:46 pm
we've seen mass bombing and gaza with reports that hundreds of civilians have been killed in a while. the actions of her mass are a clear and i want to emphasize that a clear violation of international law is the collective punishment of all guidance . also by definition of war crime, not really because the situation is very clear, you know, as you mentioned, rightly so from us, it perpetrated a kind of tax which was a surprise attacks the idea of what's going on and prepare it. and they got a major victory for the 1st 24 hours. but who was this is victoria guest, babies and children and all families that were mess, recruiting bad idea. it was nowhere to be seen when the ideas came back. now they pushed them back into the gods and now the problem with the commodities that they're committing to double work, right? because they are targeting civilians and they're using they are also billions the poor kind of see any of the guys as human shields. and what is what the of the gave
11:47 pm
them a fair warning and you know, i think this is the only way to do with them is we told the, the government people to clear the area temporarily. so we can go and take some us out and then of course they can come back. so these by definition is not a work, right? we understand the appliance of the palestinians, they deserve their dignity and everything else. but nothing justifies butchering families. you know, these days you mentioned the 7th of october, was the day that more jews were killed in 24 hours than any other day since the holocaust. so you mean without, without, without question. respectfully, this, this is a devastating moment, extra interactive violence that again is violence of international. you said a couple of things that are that i want to push, they want to push you on. oh, the idea of collective punishment is one of the things that we're talking about here. the electricity has been cut, power has been cut. fuel has been cut. the,
11:48 pm
the guys and people right now are being punished for the actions of her mass. how is that not by definition, collective punishment to do things. uh, 1st of all, how much is true guys uh, into an enemy state. so there is no law, nothing in international law that compels it country you are in a, in a war, we have to supply them, the electricity. now what do they use? the electricity as an actor, as i can find power international law, does say that you have certain responsibilities by law, but before we get there, even if we will hold it for a moment, the power thing, there are residential buildings being hit. there are hospitals being hit, there's a densely populated area, the idea of being able to run away or to escape or go to a safe area. seems impossible also, according to your own military representatives. you've abandoned the idea of
11:49 pm
knocking on rules. that is, that is a giving a warning of dropping and not explosive munition on buildings and for people go so people aren't getting a warning. they have nowhere to go. residential building, schools and hospitals are being hit. how is this not again inactive corporate punishment? and how is this not a target of civilian unless of course you regarding everybody and guys as an independent. okay, well i hear you. i hear you, but it again, what we gave the population is a fair warning. what would you do? you know, what was the fair warning this time? i just wanna make sure we're on the same page here. benjamin netanyahu told everyone to leave the area where were they to go? ok, very very. i mean this was, this is thought out. it's not something that we tell them go, uh, go to the beach is go drive your sale as a god forbid. not at all. there is a huge expense, almost endless space in the sine,
11:50 pm
my beds are just on the other side of guys and the idea he is, and this is not the 1st time it would be that they didn't use for them to leave over to the open areas where we and the international community, we prepare the infrastructure, you know, 10 cities with food and water. you know what? just like for the refugees of syria that flip the butchering goal for us. a few years ago to turkey. truth, you receive 2000000 of them. this is the idea. now, egypt will have to play ball here because once the population is out of sight, then we can go, you know, what the, tell us what they, what some of them, you know, we want to part of the population out of sight. is that practically possible in such a densely populated area? and then at 40, i mean just to 1000000 people in the dizzily populated enclave 47 percent of the inhabitants are. children isn't reasonable or plausible to think that all those people are going to relocate to this is excluded area and be safe from, from, from
11:51 pm
a bombing attack. and again, the, what we're saying there's one is but there are numerous reports on the ground, but there are no warnings that people are getting hit. the families have been killed. some of these attacks, i'll tell you in a practical matter what we should do and what we can do create like in the past in history a many terry and corner door when there is like many terry and cory door. and we have been discussing this with the united states, and then we can guarantee in this corner door that nobody would get hurt. no, again, i say there is a way to receive them all on the other side for temporary time. i'm saying that because what the semester and all the other side of we're talking about reference, are you saying that they have decided to go to egypt? yes, absolutely, absolutely. and egypt will have to play ball because this is human life is at stake . i'm sorry, i missed because i live at spec because you're cutting our power here. you're shutting down hospitals, you're bombing residential, putting them. all right,
11:52 pm
now there's a hospital that has not, does not have sufficient power. there is a hospital where people are literally going to die. it is really the energy administer. israel kat said, no, electrical switch will be turned on. no, hydro will be open. no fuel truck will enter until the is really of the t's are returned home. now the i c, r c, 's votes, person who's on my head to say that by cutting that power, hospitals are going to turn into graveyards. this is not an ideologue. this is the international committee of the red cross. they're saying that because of your country's actions, not the actions of the mass, not the actions of egypt, but because of israel's actions. hospitals are going to turn into graveyards. how is that not a war crime? how is that defensible by any standard to 1st of all the work, right? if anything is how much they are, the ones, and i know exactly what you're talking about, how much does not allow sometimes when they can, they keep those civilians happy if they don't allow them to run away because this
11:53 pm
is what they want to know. i know the area and i, i suppose you're talking about the main hospital, which is the, she thought possibly able to. she felt costs because has been turned into a commercial banker. if somebody wants to save them, basically just leave. there are come out and nothing will happen, but as long as they keep the she saw hospital just like a schools in kindergarten as bankers and they find out from there, there is no law. there is no law in this universe very context to them. and this is what we're doing and this is what the is the is there. are there any independent reports or the any intelligence reports that show that the shipper hospital is it? is it from that is primarily from as bunker and not an actual medical site. yes, and you know where i know where went and mark my words and you can show it again because i know it's a, it's recorded. well, this war is over and we will bring in the international press. will she fall into
11:54 pm
all the bunkers, the underground tunnels there's, i must, as creative team does not as competitive services of every country in the world, they know. but anyway, what i'm saying, no, just to be clear for the audience has benefit, no intelligence services. it's claimant that one government of claims that the ship that hospital is a is it how has been good, that is your claim. and i wanna make be very clear that that is your claim and you're saying you don't have any reports, but that i should just trust, you know, mark awards trust you in later on. it'll probably be proven true. and i'm telling you everybody would see okay after the war, is that fair enough? i haven't, i have to move on just the interest of time. but, but i want, i want to continue on the same vein because the secretary general of the un, antonio, good. that is said that he was deeply distressed by israel israel's announcement of a siege. when the guys a strip, he said that the humanitarian situation quote, will only deteriorate exponentially. and that crucial lifesaving supplies, including fuel, food and water must be allowed into gaza. so the,
11:55 pm
you with the things you must do this, you're saying you're not going to do this. um, how do you know you're not? we're not saying that he's like, don't mean we've been doing it immediately. what is like, what's, what's your don't know, he's like, no way of doing good doing immediately. i. yeah, i got you. i kept exactly what we're saying. i'm saying we will do everything for the guys and people once and now we do manage immediate surrender, unconditional surrender of how much, how much people come out with their hands up and clear their weapons. believe me, everything will be restored to god. it is how much, how much here. okay, now i am here and thank you for clarifying that sir. i think, i think, i think we're actually on the same page here. you're saying that once how much leaves you'll, you'll grant the the, the guys and people, food, shelter, fuel, electricity, hospital schooling and then, and if they don't, and from us definitely, then they'll continue to star and die in hospitals. you are defining for the international community, right? now collect the punishment, you're saying until until her mouth acts differently,
11:56 pm
the 2000000 people in guys are going to be treated this way. and once her mouth acts differently, these 2000000 people in guys will be treated better. that is exactly what collect the punishment is you're holding them accountable for the actions of others. that is the definition of the textbook definition of, of, of collective punishment sir that you may, you may accept, but that's what you want to do with this is absolutely contravention of international law. well, i said, you know, had we had no, if we had, we pushed it to the wall of push it up to the wall. we want to open a humanitarian corey door so that can lead. but it how much so i don't hear much so that will can lead citizen over here saying civilians can leave, but only for the rough i border correct at this point. yeah. so that can cause whereas, you know, got here, are you coming through i tell you one more thing i want to say if uh what's your interest that point, they'll just smile, sir, respectfully, you're saying that you're making your car door, they didn't do it. they can go to egypt, your bombing them,
11:57 pm
you say you want to save them, but you can't come in. i. first of all, i'm not smiley, i'm crying in my heart. i'm crying to my heart for all the would you rate of thousands of his race? why do you think the world is with us? why do you think the world is what all the international figure was there? so don't that talk to me about collecting punishment, don't you're what somebody tell me. these are new most of the game. there is no co existence with how much which is worse than isis, and we will not stop. we are, is there a lot with the population to leave, but you've how much will surrender? there won't be any problem whatsoever. danny, i alone. thank you so much for telling me on upfront pleasure. all right, that is our show upfront. we'll be back the
