10:03 pm
the injured were brought to the ship to a hospital by any means available. some of their cliques enabled to hold back their tiers. the situation is good, that's sort of big for the last 7 days. we have a continuous flow of civilian one division that elizabeth and the bid sweat expanded. many times though it's for the back no. and the last. so what if i'm talking about the last i was we receive around 6 do to be live on the dish of news . one, bishop said, minutes across costs out the number of dead and injured is rising to the sum of all of a sudden inside the house. we found the bodies, bodies of children who had nothing to do with the will. they were safe in that house is nothing seems and touched. even donkeys are not spared in this densely populated strip of land. and there is nowhere for policy is to go south continued to gather at their ra,
10:04 pm
slash crossing with egypt desperate for way out. but those who are waiting can only pray. step automatic efforts are under way to get a into gaza, where essential supplies is. services are being denied various cars and these men say they are taking desperate measures in order to tell them 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 attacks are relentless and now they wait for the next wave. what parts of this trip are already nothing more? the smouldering rubble give me c l g 0 sign units. and the goal is this stress and thought about zooms of joining us now live from on use in southern guns. i tell you just bring us up to date with your assessment of how the medical teams of
10:05 pm
coping well the palestinian medical teams assign dependency and hospitals are trying to do the best. despite all the restrictions imposed by the occupation in order to provide treatment for thousands of thomaston use of our gets injured from the east, really occupation continue, it's airstrikes now, despite the great shortage of the few and even water sources to these hospitals, medical teams, us to working tirelessly in order to help palestinians who have been hardly and who, and critically wounded by these rarely ongoing strikes. now i'm standing right now and, and also hospital this hospitality located as southern san eunice, which couldn't, which really right now tend to be a mass chill to pull more than uh, thousands of people who were fleet from the houses. and they just took this place as it shows up from them to be away from the east bay apartments. they think that displays going to be much more safer in other places inside the going straight. meanwhile, this because the different medical facilities have been partially targeted by these
10:06 pm
very strikes even more than 5 hospitalized is not the goal. is this trip? have been or was it to evacuate main wild goose, but cool teams refused to evacuate the hospitals in order to keep providing medical services for more than 2300000 times the use of course, the goal is a strict target. before we move on, i just wanted you to clarify something for me. if you don't mind for the benefit of the viewers, we can hear that buzzing sound that's in the background. there are those drones that are flying overhead. well, the sound that you are right now i can hear in the back you round is generally the sound of the is very unmanned aerial vehicles. these are cool. these been dreams which, which are responsible to gather information about this is this of guns and strip and even to provide key targets, whether it's ready aircraft to be bunk later during the ongoing escalation that we've promised to be in finances and even the use video occupation forces these kind of a drones have been over used and describes the gaza strip. the counseling is really
10:07 pm
get the noise from the sound of the is very transit due to the a great physical discomfort that sweetie coast occurs is due to its own. during hovering in this kind of the gaza strip, but also it, one of the responsibilities of these terms is to target civilians and to target palestinians as all kinds of the pre rolling before the is really a big show of the aircraft could be done. and these kind of, besides most by these trends can lead to the desk of doses of kind of thing is on the 10th coast, cd injury for palestinians. yeah, we're certainly getting a sense of how loud they are from the, just as you're talking there. and let's talk about the people who are being very evacuating from jobs. the city over the last 24 hours or so. i'm always still seeing a steady flight of people coming from the north or is there are people given the fact that not a great deal has been happening in the north so far? is there a time taishan for people to try to return? well,
10:08 pm
the majority of the northern and central guns of residents have received orders from the east very occupation authorities to evacuate the houses and to move forward to the southern areas of the gaza strip. meanwhile, during the last 3 days old, so the number of people who had displaced from the houses had really passed across 10000 palestinians who just evacuated the houses and move to move safe places. but meanwhile, there was no 86 base as the is really own going to apartment to the goals district really continue. the majority of those who were at this place from the houses they went to united nations athlete at schools in order to provide different kinds of humanitarian to aid. the others did not find previously shelters. they just moved to all, to resigned into conflicts of hospitals and sight. the goal is to strip, while others are still living in the street without having any kind of human to train assistance. and they really witness trust to conditions. what is really important in this case,
10:09 pm
that the majority of displaced people who were really evacuated from the house as also will not receive from the east village apartments. different people were really get paid by these very strikes while they were evacuating. meanwhile, which is very big bought, mean you can use an in southern areas, continues without stopping to think about soon from con eunice. thank you very much . indeed. what signs have been sending in israel and those rockets continue to be fired from gaza? stephanie, that goes got more from that off in southern israel. there's just been heavy bombardment. 3 positions were just in front of us. this is right on the very north eastern part of the gaza strip. intensive air strikes have been happening over the last 10 minutes or so. we've seen at least 4 or 5 come in a heavy machine gunfire,
10:10 pm
not a military unless so say that these north eastern areas in northern areas of the goal is the strip are probably where the is really a ministry will be entering from when that ground offensive start, even in previous words, we've seen how when it comes to is ready military strategy, securing the border areas clearing the board areas. because of course, how mass has an extensive tunnel network is, is one of their main missions, but certainly the we're here playing out very much in real time stephanie decker, which is 0 on the outskirts of garza, or u. s. equity straight down to the lincoln's back in israel for the 2nd time in a week is being criss. crossing the middle east to discuss the conflict with the regional leaders. a few hours ago he appeared alongside these are the defense minister and to show of support for israel and well,
10:11 pm
how much i'm jim's in occupied east jerusalem forest. and so he bring it on to the bank and spoke with you on the line. but there was a very brief immediate appearance before the cameras. a rob. it was extraordinarily brief. it was just a few minutes. not really a press conference, just an appearance of really looked more symbolic in nature because the 2 man just addressed each other. you had the is really defense ministry you of galani essentially saying to mr. blinking that as far as the campaign, the war and gaza, that the price will be high. but that is real, is going to win this for the jewish people and for the values that both countries meaning the us and israel. sh, believe in. and then you had mr blinking essentially saying, thank you to mr. jolanda and saying, reiterating the u. s. is deep commitment to israel's right and his obligation to defend itself and to defend its people. and he reiterated once again that the us
10:12 pm
believes that israel has the right to defend itself. so it's been an interesting day when it comes to anthony blinking earlier in the day we had been told that he was going to be giving more a fuller remarks to the press after he met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and then the president isaac hertzog, that didn't end up happening. we saw that mister netanyahu met with more people from across the political and military establishment here in israel. he also met with, as we said, just now, your good lot, the defense minister, and he's going to be meeting with the head of the opposition. yeah. your le pete. so it's an interesting thing to see because this is the 2nd visit that mr. blinking has paid to israel in 4 days now. now obviously mr. blinking is going to be reiterating his request, as he has been for the last few days for the humanitarian core door to be open. for there to be assessed ation of hostilities in the southern gaza strip for there to be
10:13 pm
a ceasefire. and also for the crossing to be open at least for the ability for the will citizens to be able to cross out of gaza and into egypt. these are all requests that have not been granted by your 0 as of yet, and mr. blinking would like to get a commitment on that going forward. rob and benjamin netanyahu was also be speaking in the classes as well. what did he have to say about that? so benjamin, that's an yeah, who was really trying to show a show strings in unity as it were in the the, in, in the connected today. this was the opening of the winter session. and what's interesting about what happened is that you had mister netanyahu speaking before the connected and talking about how, how mazda is going to be defeated. and mentioned that to me, i'll also warning you ron, and his bullet and 11 on. but if they were to get involved in the conflict, the israel essentially would not would be fighting them as well. busy and was wanting them not to get involved in this conflict. but while he, wow,
10:14 pm
the contest it was in session today. you had this disruption because they were rockets fired from gaza towards the central israel. you had rocket sirens going off in jerusalem. we heard them here and occupied these roots limit, took shelter, our colleagues in west jerusalem person as well. and in fact, in the semester to have everybody was there a half of the shelter and go into fortified room and then they reconvene after that . now mister netanyahu was trying to say that right now is real, is unified with one goal in mind. victory. and let's take a listen to a little bit more of what he had to say when it came to this theme that he was living delivering today about unit 2 to them and sell it, the money will meet you come to the condition for our success is unity and we should remain united, we should remain united at the level of the national unity government and the people as well. and i'd like to extend all things to the members of the opposition to continue to make maximum if it is real. it has been bitterly divided on the political front this past year,
10:15 pm
more polarized than ever before. what you're seeing right now is this rallying around the flag effect. to that extent, you have this expanded emergency cabinet, this war cabinet, as it were, you have members of the opposition that have joined this cabinet. so mr. nelson, me, i would trying to show strength in unity right now. but the fact of the matter is mister netanyahu also acknowledging the people in israel want answers as to why such a massive intelligence and operational failure occurred last week, which led to those attacks by how much i acknowledge, and that there is deep frustration with him in his government because of that and saying that there will be answers going forward. the fact of the matter is there is concern amongst members of the government, basically worrying if they will be facing severe repercussions from the public going forward. because of what happened, rob, here's my homage. i'm jim talking to us from the occupied east to ross at jerusalem is
10:16 pm
a live pictures of the sky line of gaza at the moment. it seems relatively quiet, but we are obviously only able to show you one angles from the camera. we can see what's happening behind it, but as far as the actual is concerned, it seems comparatively quiet. at the moment upon the stadium president, the boss is called for israel to immediately stop. it's aggression against the palestinian people. that message came in a phone call with the venezuelan, the, the nicholas and the daughter of us said the policies, programs and decisions of the palestine liberation organization. or what represent the palestinian people as the sole, legitimate representative and not the policies of any other organization. the 59 palestinians have also been killed in the west bank since the conflict between israel and gaza began 9 days ago on the other hand, made as more from romano is a crisis. depaula city and president says more or less the same thing is the rest of it that we heard over and over again in the
10:17 pm
a successive awards and crisis with guys us since at 2008 at the moment the voice that you hear louder here in ramallah protest, is there a few 100 protest as we're just here behind me on the, on the square. and now i walking through this piece of ramallah caring palestinians, flags something the policy. those, for example, in occupied use of that would be the team for while they doing it here. so i think when with the bus is in a difficult position, he knows that a he is, may be a little out of touch with what the use one in this part of the, in the occupied was bag. more than half of the population is under 25, the tensions have been bubbling in the across to occupied was back. much of the focus of the need to now go. lucian government was on the occupied was back and there had been since the beginning of the years. what by the senior goals,
10:18 pm
you know, a sort of a 50 to a more than 200 killed rather, and continuous res. well, that has increased a lot since this crisis started with 90 rates all across the occupied was bank 70. where did they just overnight but that you add that to the 500 already the data over the past week. so the numbers are rising and certainly it is putting by the is, is increasing the anger here among the palestinians. a ton in a shop is a palestinian leader and active as the former member of the pont assign liberation organizations executive committee. she says the palestinian presidents been under pressure from the us to condemn. i'm us. it has been added for some time since 2006, 2007 in the west bank. i'm guys that have been politically separate, not just geographically subset. how much remains as you not how much is a political move in that part?
10:19 pm
is that as mo, image and politic preferably, and they've been interstate, and i really, it's not conflict. and if i do want, even though how much the drums on elections and then when i'm gonna try the seats, i would say box. and then 2000 asterix. but still the issue is that right now, you cannot just abandon the palestinian people by adopting the language. that how much does this sound good flush, how much deserves it. and therefore, the people who are brushing palestinians, i've how much this is the latest, by the way, this today and from the americans, that this is what can i slip to the palestinians? not this is what is that is really occupation in bombing, i'm struggling mc jumped destruction the to the listing and before, so i'm not going to try to, to buy, swipe to and how would that best that you was under tremendous pressure, especially the restaurant from ad blinking and bind them to come damages on people
10:20 pm
when he started to die to use trying to save the right seems not to offend others. and at the same time he knows that his own people are smart to the palestinian people. i try my times, the bank and they are not willing to see the palestinian fighters or whatever the faction being maligned or denounced by. and they've had this thing and let them know that a single homeless political leader says all palestinian prisoners in jail. and israel must be freed in exchange for as many captives taken during the operation inside israel. on october, the 7th and an interview with out of media color. the shell said there are between 20250 is really captives being held in gaza. he also said senior is really soldiers that amongst those be held. all the goals are, was featuring prominently the united nations, 2 resolutions about the conflict are going to be discussed and voted upon in the security council. kristen saloon is joining us now. live from un headquarters in
10:21 pm
new york. tell us a more about tonight's votes a yes, well this is a chance for the security council to weigh in on this conflict. and as you said, there are 2 draft resolutions that have been proposed. the 1st one that the council will take up was proposed by russia and russia. propose this on friday. it's pretty straightforward. it calls for an immediate unconditional ceasefire and calls for it condemns, i should say violence against civilians and condemns terrorism. full stop. this was immediately objected to by the united states, united kingdom and others who say that any weighing and by the security council on the situation there has to condemn us. and the attacks of october 7th in the taking of civilian hostages. that is otherwise it's a non starter for them. so we then saw brazil propose another resolution calling
10:22 pm
for a humanitarian ceasefire, but also condemning hum us on those grounds, condemning them for the attacks and for the taking of civilian hostages. brazil has been negotiating the wording of that and has since watered down a bit. now it calls for humanitarian pauses for humanitarian access to gaza. but again condemns him. us. now russia is saying, well, if you're going to condemn us, that makes things political. so they are proposing to amendments to the brazil resolution, and those amendments would also condemn the blockade of gaza and condemn the targeting of civilians and attacks against civilians and gaza. so this is how we see a plane out. they'll be the vote on the russian resolution. uh, the brazilian resolution will be put forward. these 2 amendments will be considered as proposed by russia, and then they'll be a final vote on that resolution. and it's anyone's guess how this will turn out any
10:23 pm
resolution of the security council needs 9 votes to pass. and none of the, any of the 5 permanent security council members that includes russia, the united states, united kingdom, france. they could veto it until the whole thing just with their vote. so all of this will be open for discussion in the coming hours when that happens. and chris, and as far as we're aware of the rough, a crossing between egypt and gaza is still closed, as indeed are all the other crossings into guys at the moment. which may of course, makes it impossible for aids to get in. what is the latest is with regard to un age for gaza? so yeah, this is a real concern for the united nation has really been their focus in the last few days trying to get into these people who desperately need it in gaza. we know that the un humanitarian chief martin griffith is now going to egypt on tuesday and he is working with the you to provide humanitarian supply. 0 caused by air into gaza
10:24 pm
in sounds like he's making some headway towards that. that goal. but he said he'll be there for several days to work on the humanitarian situation. and do you want officials have been constantly reminding everyone involved here that protection of civilians, protection of the wounded is a requirement under the rules of war under international humanitarian law. in this, as we know, the situation on the ground is getting extremely difficult. we also had a briefing from the un relief agency in palestine today, and they pointed out that a 1000000 people, they believe are now displaced. they say that their shelters are overwhelmed. uh, they use their schools as shelters. they're equipped to be used as shelters, but not for the amount of people that they are seeing. and now people are pouring into other buildings and facilities trying to use them as something like an a
10:25 pm
warehouse for age supplies now is filled with people and they just really aren't equipped to handle these kind of numbers. they don't have sanitation, they have hundreds of people and only one toilet in this, in this building, for example, um and they're running out of water, they're running out of fuel, they're running out of food and they can't run the hospitals without fuel. there's danger of shutting down power to hospitals in the next 24 hours if more fuel doesn't get in. so the situation is increasingly extremely dire and you know, even before this latest escalation, 1200000 people in gaza relied on the un from to the system. so that gives you a sense of just how, how on edge the situation is. now if a doesn't get in there soon, it it's, it's going to go from really, really bad to even worse and worse. and so they made life for us of the un headquarters. kristen, thank you very much. indeed. while human rights organizations and international law
10:26 pm
experts are urging the international criminal court in the hague to step up its investigation into possible war crimes committed by israel and hamas. step boston reports from the hague. after thousands of death in garza and israel called international just as a growing by today. oh they're let israel got away with the what happened now is really bad for israel. i feel sorry what it was also a nice and 75 years of misery. human rights, what your leading human rights organization has urged the international criminal court to issue a formal statement on the escalating situation between this route and how much the icpc did make this announcement a few days after rushes inpatient, and to ukraine. it has since issued an arrest warrant against russian president vladimir, put in many eyes now on the international criminal court, which according to the rome statute, has not only been established to provide justice to fix them. so for crimes,
10:27 pm
but also to prevent war crimes with events unfolding. and is ro garza, the court has remain pretty quiet. why until this very moment there is no risk warrant for someone like me. it's in. yeah, he's opening a committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. why there is no a risk for us against. is there any leaders who have been issuing genocide or statements since 2021. the i. c. c has jurisdiction in the occupied palestinian territories and numerous cases including the killing of al jazeera jonas to read. i actually have been filed in his own comments so far. the icpc prosecute as sad that possible war crimes committed by how most can be investigated. the road statute, so yeah, we have jurisdiction on the territory of a state policy. and we have jurisdiction in relation to conduct committed by nationals of state parties. meanwhile, the civilian death. so increases by today and victims of possible war crimes don't
10:28 pm
have the luxury of waiting for justice step size and l g 0. thank. are going to begin toby's happening. he's an international human rights slower. he's a specialist on the international criminal court. he's been talking to us over the last 24 hours and so about the situation here. let's 1st of all talk about this urging of the international criminal court to carry on an investigation into allegations of war crimes by hum us and by israel i was how easy or difficult would it be given the circumstances that are going on at the moment for that in the investigation to even begin as well. i think it's a, it's a very challenging situation for the prosecutor and his team. what's being off to the prosecutor right now, effectively is 2 things festival, for a statement to come out in order to put the pots on notice, which is more preventative than anything else. but secondly, that there are incredible investigations that off paradise. now,
10:29 pm
we know that israel has stated in the past that they, they will not cooperate in any investigation. and they may not even allow time con and his team to enter is around to carry out investigations unless they are only i'm investigating conduct by how much of course the, the investigations into the attacks on garza would be carried out in garza. but of course, we're looking at a conflict situation makes it very difficult to, to investigate. but a lot of what we're saying is playing out in public and statements are being made. the very clearly amount to potentially ex incitement, unsettling set side of the intent of both from the israeli side of the homicide. what their intentions are. so i will say will be challenges. i think it is very, very important for that process, thoughts. and given the fact that we're, that there's a lot of social media going on
10:30 pm
a runs this circumstance when it comes to an investigation. does that actually work to the advantage of the prosecutors and, and his team? i'll be that, as you have pointed out, there's a lot of misinformation that is being that is going on at the moment. well, that's right. um, i think i, i think since the, the, the, the syrian uprising, we've seen a monumental gross in social media in human rights activist on the ground documenting crimes. but of course, i'm documenting. watch a and so for me to act as a human rights activist, sit on the ground to bed. what's required for criminal investigation. obviously, 2 very different things. i'm lost, it made form a prosecute to as to the conduct. it will require in the investigation for the trained investigators on the brand characters investigations. and unfortunately, that is a very long process and
10:31 pm
a very difficult process. and very shortly while comparatively, shortly after the start of the ukraine war the icing. so you should have statement about the, the activities that were going on there and as view of what was going on, particularly by russia, we're not seeing need similar response this time, right. and, or certainly not as quicker response. why is that as well? um, i wish i could give an answer for why we have, i have not seen that i, i think the, the response to the russian invasion of ukraine has shown what the insightful community can do when it comes together. that been a lot of criticism off the eyes, the same particular an international community at large and in not addressing complex like syria and human for example, and very much the same way. and i've always looked upon this as more of an opportunity rather than a negative criticism in the extra is what we can do. now, of course, what's very,
10:32 pm
very difficult with this particular conflict. when we look at the, the situation, ukraine is very, very clear. it's an act of aggression if i want states against another the, the situation in the occupied territories is obviously very different as it's a very different set of circumstances with different jurisdictional challenges and difficulties on entering new territories to come to there's an investigation, but that's, that's no excuse for a lack of action and actually taking very one sided approach to this, which is unfortunately when we look at the situation cause and that's pretty much what we're saying. and there is criticism of the i c, c because of the lack of a perceived lack of response that has had in this that it's credibility is being undermined. its effectiveness is being undermined. what with the icing, you see, in your opinion, have to do to reassert as authority and how fast would it have to do it? as well as, as it had to appeal to the what's called the assembly of states policies to the run
10:33 pm
statute. it requires results since it requires funding. these are, these are very costly investigations and i think a lot of the criticisms of karen cons office in particular. um not well find it because he, he likes the ability. he likes the executive authority. we've seen the situation with the about you and diamond, we see the same. we've got an input in and so there are real challenges but his office faces. but i think that there are certain things that, that should be done but have not been done. and when we looked at the current situation in gauze a, let's forget about what's happened over the last week. why hadn't, that'd be known investigations up to that point that we've seen a constant attack on, on, on the kind of thing. and people we've, we've seen allegations of a system of apartheid. and so all these matters of being supposedly under investigation by, by the office,
10:34 pm
the prosecutor for some time. we've seen no result of that. this is no forcing his hand where he has to act. and we understand according to the israeli military, that thomas is currently holding about a $199.00. i think he's really to citizens. i'm a senior from us political figure we've just heard. and in the last half hour or so saying the old palestinian prisoners in jail and israel must be freed in exchange for it is really a captive checking during the operation. what legal responsibilities or obligations does how boss have to those captives that is holding vote. and if any, any individual who, who is captured in, in conflict has to be treated and in a certain way, which is respecting the geneva conventions based, the basic principles have to be complied with. the but the, the, the issue here is we don't, we're not talking about prisoners of war. we're talking about individuals who have
10:35 pm
been kidnapped and taken into because i'm being held by a group that is i've lowered in, in, in many jurisdictions and designated as a terraced organization. so it doesn't absolve them of responsibility towards those the individuals that they are holding by the same token of israel, has to be held to the same standard of individuals that they take into custody as a result of the conflict. so you know, it, it's the same principles that applies to parts to the conflict. it's really interesting to get your knowledge that and just to recap and we appreciate it. thank you very much indeed. you thank you a list of the head and i'll just see them as a trauma of guys and more places, an immense tool and palestinian children are going to bring you the story of this young boy by the off single box. is it, it's not the kids falls out, this will happen,
10:36 pm
and so on. it's not fun. let's see how it shouldn't be the a they're good to see. there is a nasty, a storm system on winding around portugal. this is a deep area of low pressure. think the deeper the low to more intense it is. got to tell you this really going to pick up those waves. we could see waves about 10 meters high wind gusts, a 100 kilometers per hour. that's more for the highlands in portugal, but the entire country is under weather alerts. wanna take you to central europe. it is a quite or a picture here, feeling more like autumn and then look at this friend of rain through albania, north macedonia, in greece, not 24 hours from now tuesday into wednesday. this energy will push into circuit, so wanted to give you a heads up on that to the northwest. we go quite a bit of rain also coming in to the republic of ireland. more so southern ireland. so think places like cork could see half a month's worth of rain and
10:37 pm
a short period of time. single digits, parts of scandinavia, western russian beller roost. wanna show you what's going on in africa. we'll get address almost 10 above where you should be for this time of year. and october is the hottest month of the year and the walk set living up to that $3839.00 on tuesday. there had been some severe thunderstorms in health, same providence in south africa. that snow shifted into cause we were going to tell . same goes for mozambique, zimbabwe and sandy. i could see century downpours in all of these areas. the best in the discussions as agents, we used to say that about 50 percent of which are smaller, one is going to die. examining the headline 12 percent of the global population is responsible for 50 percent emissions, which has created this crisis, exploring abundance of 12 clause programming, designed to inform, move to face, identify the way my story was,
10:38 pm
i felt that it was important. i did fax on algebra the, the, [000:00:00;00] the,
10:39 pm
[000:00:00;00] the, let's take another quick look at where things stand and the gods of war is really air strikes have killed more than 2800 pounds of stadiums since the latest conflicts began 9 days ago. one and 3 of them are children with more than a 1000 killed and just 9 days, the number of israelis killed and the homeless military operation now stands at 1400, including 299 soldiers is ready. i mean, he says that a 199 captives are being held by hamas and gaza, or hamas is putting that number between 20250 israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who is wanting to run on the highest ball or not to quote, test israel in the north of village renaissance director of the new international, some project to the institute for policy studies, which is also international advisor for jewish invoice for peace. and she's joining us from washington. d. c. very good to have you with us. so knowledge is 0. thank
10:40 pm
you very much. indeed, i understand that in and i believe congress. i think i understand that there is a, a small group of progressive legislatures that are trying to put through some sort of legislation with regards to trying to get a c spot in israel. can you tell us a little bit more about that? a yeah, this is a very important move. i think everybody around the world is calling for an immediate cease fire to stop defense, extraordinary killing. that's going on at the resolution that just dropped about an hour ago with 5 or 6 members of congress. as the initial signers is very broad, is it says, whereas all human life is precious and the targeting of civilians no matter their face or ethnicity is a violation of international humanitarian law. and it has 2 more breed paragraphs and then calls directly on the bind administration to 1st immediately call for and facilitate de escalation and a ceasefire. and secondly,
10:41 pm
calls on the administration to send and facilitate humanitarian aid. so it's very simple. it doesn't get into long discussions. about the origins of the, of the crisis and what led to it, but it caused for the immediate uh, calling out of the need for a cease fire. and i think right now that's what so desperately needed. it's an interesting group of members of congress. it's somewhat diverse, progressive democrats, but i think this is the kind of resolution it doesn't have the force of a specific bill. but it's a statement of the sense of congress that wants the administration to culture cease fire. and so i'm hoping that this will get traction. and while i was going to go to ask um if there isn't a speaker of the house and i, if i remember correctly, there isn't yet, is this going to actually get much attraction? because logistically, are procedurally there, isn't that a system in place yet to, to make it go through the process?
10:42 pm
well, i think there's 2 things. one is that without a speaker right now, there is some move in congress to figure out ways to get around that. and to pass certain things. secondly, this is not, for example of funding bill that requires very specific allocations of funds or something like that. this is an expression of intent. and in that context, i think that if there were to be political will in the congress either in the house or in the senate to vote for this back to go forward. it could be, it would go forward as a call to the administration. it doesn't change anything in terms of budgets or appointments or anything like that. it's an expression of, in this case, a more all the subsidy of a immediate ceasefire. and i'm hoping that can go ahead and i mentioned before you are the an international advisor for jewish voice for peace. since this conflict began. have you been noticing any sort of chat trend or change in the way that
10:43 pm
people are engaging with what is going on? yes, i think we're seeing the, the heart of the 1st day when the 1st reports of the horrific attacks against civilians that had gone on. and israel coming from does a which remains something that people are feeling very powerfully. it was, it was for music, complete violations of international law. and the kinds of nations have been completely appropriate as people are, now's being able to hold that to hold that horror and hold that condemnation while seeing both the question of what is it going to take to stop this kind of violence . recognizing what gives rise to it, in this case, 16 years of a crippling siege before we ever got to the new siege in gaza. 55 years of military occupation, 75 years of oppression, of palestinians. depending on when you start,
10:44 pm
the clock determines how you see it. and what we're seeing now, i think, is that people are recognizing that it's possible to both spike, to present an even greater level of killing and destruction. potentially a genocide. to do that while maintaining the, the outrage and the, the grief for what has already happened. there's a famous statement from a, a well known trade union activist, a woman, affectionately known as mother jones, in the mine workers union a century ago in the united states. who said, pray for the dead fight like hell for the living. and i think that organizations like jewish was for peace and many others, jews, and others. most of those christians, everybody is seeing the necessity of doing both those things. morning and grieving for those we have lost and fighting like how to make sure there are no more lots where sensing are growing, concerned about the level of hate crimes that may be happening around the world.
10:45 pm
and of course that was the story. and just within the last 24 hours of the 6 year old boy who was stab to dash and i'm his mother was badly injured. i think it was in chicago. i believe the individual has been charged with a hate crime. how concerned are you given your, your unique position? so we say within that they decided you, i'll click on it. how concerned are you that this could actually spread? unless something is done to try to calm they that they, i know that people are feeling as well. i think it was a very real fear of the rise of in this case it is a lot of sylvia. this was a 6 year old boy and his mother was injured very, very badly. she survived. luckily, they are palestinian muslims who are living in the united states and illinois. this and this child was killed brutally because he was the most of them because he wasn't palestinian. so i think this kind of attack is very much of danger. i think
10:46 pm
real a anti semitism is on the rise coming from far right white supremacists, which is where anti semitism is rooted in the united states. and unfortunately, actually semitism is sometimes weaponized in a false way under false claims of anti semitism, used against critics of his railey policies of his really apartheid. and that of course weakens the important real fight against the most dangerous anti semitism which comes from right wing white supremacy. so we're seeing a rise in both attacks on arabs and muslims. and potentially, although so far we have not seen this level of, of attacks on jews, but that is certainly a threat that we have to be very aware of. we saw this after $911.00 when muslims, and those perceived to be muslims. arabs, uh those that were perceived to be arabs walking down the street with the subject to the taps. many people brutally beaten, some were killed. so, you know, this is something that we're all too familiar with in the united states,
10:47 pm
and it could be that we're going to see it again. we have to fight very hard so that that doesn't come back to haunt us now for the spanish. we appreciate you being and i'll just see them. i'm thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. the intense behind the scenes negotiations have been taking place over the age of the border crossing with gaza. israel has been accused of shelling the crossing, which remains closed. cairo says it's not officially shots, but it was made in all purple jews. it is very air strikes on the guns. aside of i'll explain is what a possible opening of the crossing would mean to all parties involved. little 5 crossing is the only way for people to pass between egypt and the southern end of the gaza strip. it's gulf has only lifeline to the outside world, but supplies coming into garza, florida, the quite easily the approval and only a small vehicles of people are allowed to move through. another crossing is in the
10:48 pm
south. the cut them over said. it's located where the boulders of egypt garza and easily meet. i did see only a passage for tax cutting goods, fuel and $82000.00 hundreds of tons of 8 from several countries have been held back in egypt. that's as the one seeks to agree a deal with easily and for those safe delivery to gaza at for some further and possible, told us to be evacuated. so that off i bought the crossing even the normal times, egypt imposes extremely tight restrictions and rules on the use of the crossings. off his sometimes opened for humanitarian purposes, such as evacuating people in medical emergencies. in the day of cases where every day travelers are allowed to use it, they have to cut internationally valid problem documents and prove they have a compelling reason to these guys. but since the thought of these are the water and gaza, hundreds of thousands of palestinians have been pushed from the north to the south,
10:49 pm
near the crossing by easily bombardment. this is video has ordered them to leave. i'm just putting pressure on egypt to allow them to cross into sign. egypt sees the possible wave of refugees as in may just for that to its security. more importantly, both egypt and the people of god. how's when laws deposit out of countries? is this the policy is shouldn't be forced to these guys are a few if they where is that? i may never allow them to return, as they did when palestinians were forced to leave their homeland in 1948 during the creation of the state of how much lot of digital hundreds of civilians who live and work in israel are fleeing as a gaza war. intensifies but thousands of israeli soldiers with jewel nationality are returning to fight some opinion of it. reports. hundreds of civilians from different countries of left israel since the war and government broke out. these inside work has an estimated 50000 book and israel. and after the 20th, the nice things were killed in the tax last week. many do not want to go back to me,
10:50 pm
live hand on him. i talked with my family, i won't return to work. they're all settled down at home buying a lot of things are still bad. manipulative also fled most of agriculture students . they with this defense being killed and wounded on the we waited where there was no bunk underneath. it was $34.00 more. who brought it to the same place a little later. all of us sharing a room with a very limited amount of food, indian nationalist, or sort of ton of trying to like after a 3rd of the countries, 18000 people. israel registered to fly back home. that housing go with my family was scared, they wanted me to return as soon as possible. i was fortunate to return in the 1st flush through the forest also. and if the dozens of nations from israel investigated for their lives, it's almost our car. we are happy because we have taken our compact tree. it's out of the danger zone. they are here. hundreds of americans simple to return home on
10:51 pm
charter flights. but the governor of florida doesn't from the us to take any testing and refugees. he says, quote, they're all anti semitic, any dismissed cost for israel to provide clean running water and essential goods and services to the $2300007.00 incentive and of their time for leadership in this millions and leaving thousands of as vainly soldiers with duels, nationality returning israel has called up 360000 reserves as its warren gauze intensifies, that all the soldiers are short of mattresses. we drink everything they need, we are organizing to bring everything ready to transfer from money score. and why do you came through as well, go from us and to bring everyone home?
10:52 pm
and they are driving from many countries. very say that's what happens. we don't believe about the things that some us be going to fight them back. and these really government says it's not really what it calls terrorists, and one of the world's most densely populated areas. what is really a fucking to join the fight from all over the world? so i think the job there for years children has paid a heavy price from israel's offensive zone garza hundreds of being killed with many more maimed or injured and left living with trauma, fear and grief. we're going to bring you now. the story of oberon of y c, which describes what it's like to be trapped. and guys as a 15 year old boy. ringback so my name's and i'm 1st is possible. i used to be living in brooklyn, but i've been in golf for again. and while it has been a very, very interesting. yeah. i'm having
