3:03 pm
last one we received around 6 due to v live, one that they showed me is one bishop 10 minutes across cause a number of data and induce rising to the sum of all of them inside the house. we found the bodies, bodies of children who had nothing to do with the will. they were safe in their houses. nothing seems untouched. even donkeys are not spared in this densely populated strip of land. and there is no way for palestinians to go. some continued to gather the roof of crossing with egypt desperate for a while yet, but those who are waiting can only pray, diplomatic if it's under way to get taped into gaza, re essentially supplies and services of being tonight will to escape. and these men, safety are taking desperate measures and how we're feeling in salt water. i'm ready to drink from the salt water. what else can we do? we're supposed to do this and thank god, the tech. so an ending and now they wait for the next wave, but parts of the strip,
3:04 pm
the already nothing more than smouldering rubble. i started bake of just 0. meanwhile, egypt for administer assigned me shall cree, says caesar. any government has not made a decision on opening the roof of border crossing between garza and egypt. this comes up to every 4 set. the costing was set to open on monday. hundreds of palestinians with 4 and passports have been waiting at the border to leave garza and h for the n k from several countries has been held up in egypt, sy, peninsula for days. now let's get an update 1st on the situation inside garza without you 0. assume the outside who's in southern gaza. in con eunice. you're outside of the main hospital in con unit. assume that described to us versus situation. now what's been happening? yes, probably here at the hospital, the largest hospital in does a knock on unit, sorry. has the taken all the patients from other medical centers in han, eunice, the southern govern, yet in gaza strip. and they were all brought here because of the lack of capt
3:05 pm
abilities and resources in those last shows. this hospital is now over full, overwhelms, and it's uh, completely fluid over the capacity of the hospital. it with all the patients and the injuries that come every now and then to the hospital. yes, the garden is still ongoing, especially rough and can you this areas where homes of civilians are being sorry, gets it. and before he did over their heads i hours ago we had. 5 we, what this does is of the ambulances dropped dozens of civilians, mostly children, into this hospitals. all the last 2 targeting that we're on a residential criteria that believe in ton unit the humanitarian situation across guys, a, you know, has been described as catastrophic. we've heard these really say earlier this
3:06 pm
monday that they have restored water in some parts of gaza, but how much has denied this? so can you tell us what the latest is on the water situation is water available in southern dies away. you all, for example. there's no water until now in the entire thought. this trips in southern guns, if there is no water that has reached the seldom part of districts. until this moment, i have confirmed with the older law manager of communications, yet to my and she told me she confirmed to me that until this moment there has been no walter reaching this trip in any place. also, she said, we need fuel to restores some water into the strip in the southern port where israel is claiming that it has opened the water for the pipelines to run the water into the south again for the residence of the gods. the strip. so as long as there
3:07 pm
is no fuel to generate for electricity to generate the water that is running out from these pipeline, no more to won't be able to reach the civilians off the strip. you know, what are you hearing about what's happening at the rasa crossing? there was talk of the possibility of that border crossing with egypt reopening. and i, i know that there's been hundreds of people with dual nationality waiting at the border crossing to get to egypt. and for a to come into guys a but do you know, under what conditions that costing is likely to open? well, we've heard a lot of use that to be the rough pressing will be open in the previous days until now. but until this moment, there are no indications that it will be opening because we've also been hearing uh, news and reports saying that egypt is not going to be allowing the opening of the crossing for dual nationalities or for and nationalities to leave this strip.
3:08 pm
unless israel at prove the opening of drop off for the entry of human terry an age into this trip, which until this moment israel does not approve on doing so. 2 it seems that the talks have not yet got to a point where the roof of the border will be opened for the nationalities to come out on. c the humanitarian aid enters the strip. you know, thank you very much for the update. i'll just here as human outside reporting the live from con eunice in southern gaza. meanwhile, the us secretary of state tons of the blinking has arrived in israel after meeting with regional leaders in the middle east to discuss the war on gaza. lincoln is set to meet with the officials for further talks. he met with he's really officials and televi 4 days ago as a show of solidarity on his 1st top off. this middle east visits let's bring in mama jam june in occupied is true, has been for us, so blinking is back. why am it? what are you finding out about this visit?
3:09 pm
what message is he carrying to these relatives as he returns from? i talked with at the latest what we've seen of us secretary of state antony blinking schedule thus far is that he has met with is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that he is going to be meeting with is really president i the hertzog and that throughout the day he will be meeting with more is really officials on the agenda this far is also going to be a meeting with the defense minister, your kalonde, as well as the opposition leader. yeah, you're left pete. now it's an interesting thing that happened in the past 20 minutes or so because we have been expecting that the secretary blinking was going to be delivering remarks to the press after his meeting with israel's president, perhaps as early as later this hour. in fact, the agenda seemed to have changed at this point. now on the schedule that we're seeing, it does not look like he will be essentially giving any kind of remarks to a symbol of media. so interesting to see if that perhaps will be rescheduled to
3:10 pm
later in the evening because it does look like his schedule meetings with his really officials here have expanded as a compared to what we were told earlier. now of course hi on mr. blanket. the agenda will be the establishment of some type of humanitarian court or he's been asking this of his really officials for days now. also he's going to want to see the border crossing open. that's another request. he's been making several times to israel's prime minister and other officials over the course of the past few days. and beyond that, he's also going to be conveying to the prime minister and other leaders. what he heard from regional leaders. he was in 7 error countries. the past few days met with 7 meters, and he is of course, while he was there taking the temperature of what those leaders have to say when it comes to the topic of the gods of war. when it comes to their concerns about the humanitarian situation. in god's it for palestinians there and obviously is going to be conveying that to the prime minister and other leaders here as well. what do you see likely to have achieved on this mentally store?
3:11 pm
it's not funny, it's interesting because at the moment it doesn't look like um secretary of state blinking, that has achieved that much diplomatically, as i mentioned, the request that he's made thus far, that have been a priority when it comes to whether it be the establishment of humanitarian court or that has not yet happened. a secretary blanket also had hoped that there would be a ceasefire at least applied to southern gaza while we heard in the last few hours from israeli officials. that is not something that they would accept to do, but also the opening of border crossing so that at least dual nationals would be able to cross over from gaza into egypt that has not happened. so at the moment, there really have not been any diplomatic deliverables that mr. biden can claim as any type of success. obviously he's hoping to change that, and that is clearly one of the reasons why his schedule meetings with different people across the political spectrum here that has changed. but it's interesting because it's all coming at a time when in the last few hours we see more and more reports and is really media that perhaps us presidential by might be making
3:12 pm
a trip to israel in the next day or 2. so obviously, mr. blinking will want to be able to point to some type of diplomatic success before president biden might come here as well. and bullied. we have heard about those rumors that by might make a trip to the region. we will check in with our white house correspondent company how get from on that a little later this i'm how much i'm doing in occupied these tools and thank you very much for the moment. all right, let's all check in with stephanie debt goes in southern israel union is they hard to, stephanie, tell us about what you'll see. i know you can see guys that from where you are, what's been happening around you yeah there's, you can probably see somebody, there's some black smoke in the distance. this is an air strike. we've also just had a, an incoming mortar. so in this sort of general area, we actually heard the waves in the army came and said there is on to tank. some areas here are being exposed to probably here or
3:13 pm
a drone in the sky. not sure if that microphone is picking that up. this is constant, eyes from the sky on galls are from these really intelligence ministry. so what we've been observing here as well, can hear sometimes heavy machine gun fire air strikes. of course artillery being fired into goal is what you're looking at is the north eastern part of the gaza strip. but these are the border areas in every war that we've seen here it is the border areas that get hit 1st. it's also the areas where over a 1000000 people over a 1000000 palestinians were told to evacuate from not just by title one big provide . the goal is to city to move further south as we've been extensively reporting with our brave teams on the ground. so you probably see another, some huge you see the striking the distance. um, so this is a very real time that you're watching and it's kind of weird. i have to say very disturbing kind of watching it from this side. i wasn't garza during the 2014 war
3:14 pm
and you know, we've been talking to our colleagues for inside the absolute desperation of the people. and we can watch it on fold. uh, you know, with the air strikes. certainly from here, of course the question funny is when is the ground? yeah. and vision going to start a lot of speculation now that you have us present by didn't coming to the region in the next few days. as we've been talking to, you know, our colleagues discuss st. we're thinking perhaps they're not going to launch this ground defensive before he arrives. right? so we're gonna have to wait and see, but certainly the situation around the goal is to strip heavy military equipment soldiers, the biggest cool up of reserve is and israel's history. so they look very much in place. so it's just a question of when that ground operation is going to start a lot of questions as to what might happen next. as you say, stephanie i, these really military has said that a 199, a captives are being held by him off inside the gaza strip. and one wonders how
3:15 pm
that is being taken into account when it comes to israel's next step. and next phase of this conflict and, and the ground operation it initially you had the leadership saying that they weren't going to hold back when it came to the revenge if you will, on how to us. that if it was ready, hostages were in the way it wasn't going to to turn them. of course, there isn't much sense public pressure on the government to get the hostages back safely and get them out of goals. it's very difficult to see how that is going to happen with this kind of active boy situation that want to go sions behind the scenes between egypt and the americans and other actors to try and negotiate that. but when it comes to a $199.00 hostages funding, you're talking about civilians. this is if you will, and the language between how my son is wrote. these are beyond golden cards. if you look at the past one is really soldier. even the body of, in his rate,
3:16 pm
the soldier dead during the last 4 is a major negotiating card because people want their people back. so the pressure on the government to get them back safely is huge. how that's going to happen, i think, is a major question, a major question mark. and also the fact that we've seen such heavy bombardment of goes out and we don't know where they're being held for to potentially have masses . put them in strategic position. but the thing is, these hostages for her mass are golden cards when it comes to negotiating with israel. so you would assume that their interest, when it comes to the negotiation and pressure on israel would be to keep them alive . stephanie, thank you very much. stephanie decker reporting their life from there out in southern israel. there's, i'll show you some live pictures of the northern port of haifa in israel. this is a us ship which has now departed with evacuees on board american evacuees. we understand that i've left israel and heading to cyprus, us to support us. authorities have not said how many people on board,
3:17 pm
but they have said that space was limited on board the ship and was allowing people who wanted to leave as ralph i to lease the cypress tens of thousands of us passport holders. i live in israel, some of them we understand. hundreds have chosen to leave on board the ship since the war began. $29.00 have been confirmed dead and $15.00 cost still missing. billing marks has more from hyphen sincerely morning us officials been working with hundreds of would be passengers to get them registered for this very that will take them across the eastern mediterranean, towards cyprus. it's a 12 hour journey. luggage has been limited by the authorities here and there have been some people we've spoken to complaining about, the lack of communication around this, the bike race, and that's what people have been waiting hours. several of them with a young children and very, very slow to not being allowed over the foot bridge down towards the passenger
3:18 pm
ferry. the capacity around 2000. we've probably seen just a few 100 so doesn't look like there's going to be as much them on as perhaps you as large as expected flights. so important to know have been cancelled over the past week or so many carriers suspending the service out of 10 of these things or in apple. and so for some people we spoke to head traveling to the us to europe. this was an easy option, particularly for those in the north of israel as a method to leave the country in terms of that thinking, some of the incredibly tool in about the decision through the cost. many others the saying this is the right time and the right decision because of a phase of a future escalation, even worse than what we've already seen. them not houses that are a hyphen israel. the policy and present mahmoud abbas has called for israel to immediately stop its aggression against the palestinian people. that message came in a phone call with is venezuelan counterpart, nicholas venturo. i said the policies, programs,
3:19 pm
and decisions of the policy and liberation organization. what represents the policy and people as the so legitimate representative and not the policies of any other organization as bringing hold up to have made in ramallah from on this. so the policy and present holder has been somewhat absent in these past 2 days on this latest war in gaza. he's now saying that the piano is a sole representative of the policy and people, what is your reading of this statement? then how is this going to go down with the people of palestine, whether they're in guys that or the occupied with what he's trying to say in directly is that's how mazda does not represent the palestinian people. actually from what we understand in the 1st, this statements came through the official news agency here wafaa. and the 1st right to actually cute into did a quote from my who the boss saying that how much does it represent the palestinian
3:20 pm
people he would have said that 2 days been it's a 2 defendants. when presidents then came a 2nd run right top and the word how much was omitted, probably my, who the bus not wanting to eliminate a lot of palestinians, whether it's here in the occupied was bank or inside garza now did he say something, you know, he did it every war that's happened since 2008 at the the word the rest of it coming out of my low coming out of the best buy listed in us already has been more or less the same. as you said, we haven't seen him since the beginning of the war except when he went to visit his official visit. jordan, he has not addressed the palestinians savings and he's probably also, uh no, i have a lot of discussions when it comes to the americas. we hear a lot us secretary of su, blinking coming again, speaking to these really side,
3:21 pm
we don't know about any kind of direct to with the american side that could very well be happening, but it's just not emphasized on from what i understand. so he is in a difficult position, but we did hear from his prime minister, how much the yeah, he had some of those for quite a strong words that was earlier in the day. he re, boston, the claims that these really defense minister you, i've got and had made that p, the people in gaza where human animals. and he did say that the palestinians have the same right as these really, to live in a security. he called the international community to try to bring in ceasefire and also warn about it if god's ins crossed into egypt. that could be a 2nd neck. but now next, what is the term of police to needs use? referring to what happened back in 48,
3:22 pm
when 700000 of them were expelled. some of them actually being also in gaza. i remember speaking to a woman there when they were having the marsh of the right of return. and she was telling me from here i can see my hometown, that is what is referred to today as a skilled. she called the school on. so just gives you an idea of how the, how the proximity of people living there. yeah. now the palestinian authority, i love the same lives of how much thing don't go out and worst fitness situation across the occupied westbank. honda as this war in guys a continues this been a lot of tension in the west bank over the past few months. what, what, what's it been like in the last few days? the extension. similarly, if you walk around the street, you might think that is life as usual, but people are very bothered from what they see. you know, these pictures of the children dying and does that. these large explosions, people are frustrated because of the lack of support from the international
3:23 pm
community and people here in the occupied west bank, i've been under constant pressure of the occupation. actually, almost a said that one of the reasons of all of this was the pressure that if i listed is i in, during here now, there is nightly rates, dozens of them across the, the, the whole west bag. they've been at least 600 young people detained. we without charges because that is something is what it can do under the business, the dividend detention regime. and there's also been at least 50 if police didn't use that ever since all of this started. so a lot of pressure, very difficult to keep under control as this war continues. who do i thank you very much for that vouchers. here is what do i need reporting their life from ro my lot in the occupied westbank list? now discuss all the latest developments in this guy's a will with tom at com motors, professor of public policy at the doha institute for graduate studies. he's also
3:24 pm
specializes in conflict resolution time. a good to have you with has a number of a few things happening in the last few hours, which i want to talk to you about. i want to start with lincoln's visit, coming back to israel, after having met a number of arab leaders in the region, including the depression president of defy policy. and now we're hearing speculation that binding himself might visit his early in the coming days, which is not confirmed yet. what would that suggest to you as far as what's likely to happen next? there's to get this gone invasion that's expected might be pause as a result of all this. do you see this happen? it's a very tricky situation. i think the major concern you for the us is that probably at the very wouldn't of of having this conflict to uh, 10 inventories in a conflict. and it's a bit, it could, it could be a 4 by didn't. we have an addictions, you send us a and no one wants to see a major regional award in the middle east. i think most of the lead that doesn't
3:25 pm
have a voice. this concern if, if hezbollah gets involved, if it on gets involved, then then we're talking about a totally different scenarios. you know, so i think i think the americans might have got a clear to and see this message from certain parties, indian, especially it on that, that there are certain deadlines. if, if it's on the crosses, then things will will get to or so possibly that's what's in and yeah, but, but these certainly have made so much noise about going in to gaza and finishing all from us and so on. the, it would seem that this is also how it has political, huge, political implications within israel itself is not, you know, that's a very good question. if you look at it before, this was thought it was a very pull that eyes society because of the politics of the very fanatic advice
3:26 pm
with government that then the out was a, was leading. we own the, i mean, remember the medical profession, the just of the forms that the nothing heal government was trying to pass. and all the i can go to that, the created, the news that i and the threat that these very is what i will lose. the 2nd of identity is a state and become a new state. so there's this society was a very divided by society. this world united the society now, however a lot and is don't forget exactly. so is that i it is the, the one i mean the, the, the, the for the focus on the, on come as on the war on gaza. but they would not, as they did not submit to the nail, has done this. that means to is that right? and this for the is ation and, and all of this, uh, uh, the fidelity is connected to the latest the site. so basically my guess off that this water ends there would be big questions. i don't see nothing your housing needs, but it's a good future after this war. yeah, no, the method of and then come, this is go everyone and guys,
3:27 pm
let me think how much this is it to be. see, these are the old declared goals by these are the governments. but these ladies have the clip, similar goals before. and then as i mentioned that you've been more deliberate than i didn't know, human nature is also like people get to get tired of and, and i'm, i'm goal is also going to be changed depending, depending on the outcomes of, of, of, of the situation on that could also, let's see, it's going to be interesting to see if the goals that israel has set change in, in the next 2 years i'm, i'm, i'm wanting to but that will change the stickly, whatever the goal is locked in this to okay. now i wanted to ask you about mahmoud abbas and the policy and authority president. and he came out and said the piano is the sole authority of the policy and people that govern the policy and people. this is anita who has been weekends. no doubt in the last few hours does what he said to day carry any weight at all among the palestinian people. you would like to say
3:28 pm
that he's a very we can lead to. he's very much in the eyes. imagine the blinking has been twice so is that even though he did not even the human eye best for the 1st time in the exactly, and this thing is all, i mean the, the, the, don't see him as a president. you know, he's not good. and as a key player, as so that's on the, on the, on the like, extend them strong. internally. he's a very, he's, he's is a president that, that likes legitimacy. i mean, we know there hasn't been any put us in elections for the since since the last elections, 2007. the entire big question of security. quite an issue with these are in the, the military doctor of the secret about this of the policy of, of the fee as well. it's the so many big issues in the west bank. i'm unfortunate, i best is. this is not his moment ornaments, and i don't see any of those with him in this conflict. he's more than this one observer and his late this also, i know some of the condemning come as a,
3:29 pm
had different of the actors and the pressing asleep specially with this. but, you know, i mean, so he's not, i don't see him as a president. that's what presents. busy like to focus on a student by the study. you know, he's, he's not the president for the, for the students that are so kind of come most thank you very much for your thoughts, your not jewish and was in groups in the usa. hate crimes are increasing because of the war in gaza in chicago. police say a young boy was top to death and his mother severely injured by the landlord. the very fortunately targeted because of the face, the suspect has been charged with hate crimes, the boy policy and the american white house. how you had just her and 6 years old, his mother is in critical condition. a jewish americans have held ronnie's across the us, the support of palestine organizers of if not now, movement planned to protest outside of the white house. on monday, the demand to us present job, i use his leverage to implement a ceasefire, and to quote, force is ralph to hold his genocide of palestinians and gossip and of quote. the
3:30 pm
