4:14 pm
differently talk about that i shot and data collection. but when they have been used to the on distribution created by this time, we feel that the rest is really just passed on that. let me tell you the story, these, the narrative they, they would say total of taxes like this have happened. we've seen of calls terrible attacks on civilians on october. the 7th is really civilians and they say there's no other way for them bought to act as they called it in self defense. so this is self defense. what do you make of that? you know, this is not says the science, this is actually a word crime. this is where they want to basically to, to, to carry as many palestinians as possible. then most of these are civilians just a moment and they want to drive their my way out into, into that and, and get to do egypt or something. just have a 2nd next about remember that some of the said we wish that one day we really woke
4:15 pm
up and it goes, it wouldn't be charlotte by the sea. there wouldn't be no peace without justice for better since they should be cleared from the heart of okay to palestinian christians like most and they have been on the decades of his radio occupation. tell us how that has impacting the survival of christ in communities. yeah, i mean, you know, a christian and recreation has been a big problem because, you know, christian see, you know, my grandfather went through this. my father went through this. i'm going to use, do i want my kids to go into this? i mean, you know, that for 75 years, we are hoping for the day and that would come right where we have our shed termination on independence. our own states at the d, besides desire,
4:16 pm
but so far as the ones to have the whole keep the whole land and to get the whole yoga feet. and to get rid of that better standing on demographics. and this is exactly what they are doing now. gosh, all right, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. right. as well, 2300000 palestinians traps in garza desperately need food, water, and all the basic supplies. well, while he was in israel on wednesday, the us president se 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid will be allowed through the roof of crossing with egypt. for days, trucks have been throwing off on the gyptian side of the board of waiting for permission to enter. passions afloat was that you know, uh we are inside drop off dressing and then we are the only tv channel with permission to be on that one. yeah. as well. well let me see. yeah, this is the back of the egyptian gateway, across it on the where there, where concrete barriers,
4:17 pm
preventive people pass on the inside the outside it p r i c and the, this is the main goal the, to the use and i can voice the deliberate 8th of guys is there any rates have left large holes in the west, making it impossible for bosses or 8 drugs to use the home for the additional funding are currently keeping that move with them. so it was who the and with the i function and have the models that kind of it is still not known. if the different authorities would allow the trucks in the us today or know, next up people go with their operations or not by doing nothing. nations and, and there will be a conference by the us to discuss the plan for the annual deduction. elliot, we're also expecting teams from the owner work to all right, so make sure the crossing is ready for the 8 to go along with the hose and grow it . another problem is the delivery over and start scheduling to get that scheduled to you and will that you will conduct talks with the dimensions on your wall officials and the is there any of these items? uh, i have a truck that, um, uh, heavy a default that has some of them according to the un. it's the 1st bedroom,
4:18 pm
humanitarian age consist of the window trucks out with a trucks. that's where i agree. i get to enter as but still we don't know exactly what is onboard mays brookside. will it be minutes and only your thoughts supplies you one has not had started with all the but the guys a step needs. everyone thinks i'm going to tour food fuel medicine and medical supplies. i met the guys that needs to be given everything as because it has not been a while as we guys and also need to send some wounded people to be treated in egypt because the health sector shouldn't be overwhelmed with them and cannot keep up with the huge number of injuries and less tons of the situation that occupies east jerusalem, where i find a prize have been held is ready for us. is unimposing tough restrictions on the long. so most compound how much i'm june is near lions gate in occupied east jerusalem on friday. prayer has just let out. as you can see, the worshippers emerging from the locks of moss confound,
4:19 pm
we're here and out of his alley square, just close to lion's gate. now, it's estimated, there's only been about 5000 people in deluxe. the most compound here today, the trade usually that number is around 40 to 60000 people. so that just goes to show how much you were a presence there is here of worshippers at a time of tension. when people are worried about what might happen to them. if they come out, you can see the increased security presence behind us. there's at least 3 separate check points that worshippers of had to traverse in order to get to the ox and loss . compound is one outside there. there's also one just over here leading into the most compound. now, in the last hour, we saw some worshipers that were denied entry. they weren't given a reason. they tried to set up and pray out here. some of them were allow 2 others were not allowed and were made forcefully to move and they were quite upset by that
4:20 pm
. now we've also seen several people rejected. we were not told today if people weren't allowed in 3 as by age, but we did not see a huge contingent of the younger worshippers trying to access this area here. today, i spoke to people here. they talked about the mood. people are worried. i spoke to a shop keeper a little while ago. he's told me that he has his son with him in his shop, his teenage son, because he's still afraid that if he comes out, he will be harassed. he will be targeted. we've heard the past week several times, palestinians in this area that are being arrested that are having their phones inspected and taken away. i also spoke to a woman a short while ago, who said that he's extremely depressing to see the old city this empty and also to see you have some loss come compound. so empty, she said there's almost like there's no lights here. so there's almost like there's no so she said, even in the days of the corona virus pandemic, it felt like there was life. it felt like there was a soul here. so a lot of concerned, you see the worshippers,
4:21 pm
they are filing out. many of them that i've spoken to have said that these really security forces have made it much more difficult for them to access here. we know that there are worshippers it twice to get it from the occupied westbank. they couldn't. we know that there were squares that try to get into this area from neighborhoods it occupied east, jerusalem. they weren't allowed. people very worried at this time worried about what's going to be happening in the days to come. how much i'm just, you know, occupied east jerusalem. and then the occupied westbank. hundreds of palestinians are back home, the streets in ramallah to protest against israel's war on gone. so has been growing frustration and anger in the occupied westbank. not only this route continues from bonham johnson but also against the palestinian leadership. it's also a to need the he moves live from us from an be the in the occupied the west bank and we're looking at pictures coming in from
4:22 pm
a b. i just need to be check with that produces if this is live. okay, so it's, it's not live, but these are like this pictures need that i'm showing very 10 scenes. i understand your near a sacrament. explain to view is why it's important to keep an eye on the sacraments . why they merges flash points in, want a un reports of last month assigned to those. one of the reasons for past ending communities to be emptied out a yes indeed. and we've been seeing palestinian for this. there is come to this location. it is near the league in his reading settlements all with l. it is also near and it's really minute to recheck points as well as and as wait a minute to res center. that is basically controlling the lives of palestinians. it is these really entity that basically controls the permits,
4:23 pm
the population registry. and basically i need the today issue that has to do with the palestinians has to be decided upon by this entity over here. now, when we talk about the league, and is there any supplements we are talking about? mainly land grabs, palestinians who say that their lines are being emptied out. why? if from the residence by the practices of the leading is really supplements on the violin factors just now we've been hearing colds from people in a vintage near my luck. calling upon the residents to come and help after settlers have attacked, palestinians were just picking their all it was so they released a room on top of the palestinians and then located where their location in it is before they moved towards them, attack them throwing rocks at them and we've been seeing type of thing is sending out calls for help. this is not something new because we've been seeing since the beginning,
4:24 pm
the beginning of the year. we've reported on it how indian is really settlers are getting more and more violent towards productivity. and communities, we've seen 5 communities, so for pick up their stuff and leave 2 other locations because of the extreme violence of the is really circular is we've even tried to go and film one of those locations after the husband empties out. we as journalists with threatened by those settlers, and with a basically chased by one of the settlers in his car. remember, we're talking about on settlers who since the beginning of this explanation has been intensifying their attacks. of kind of thing is we were already talking about 3 effects per day on average by such. and there's, according to you, in figures like the old show. but now we're talking about more attacks and part of more than 80 palestinians who have been killed since october 7th,
4:25 pm
have been killed by is really set close fire. so it's not a coincidence. it's not. we are really to see how this thing is coming to those areas to prove this there for 3 sion and the concerns that even though we don't see the same rob with the that we're seeing right now in the besieged because it's true . but these really practices against palestinians are basically one of the same when it comes to how they're trying to push people away from their lines right into the abraham. from of the other thing so much i, it is wireless step top rides on towns and cities of the occupied westbank. at least 12 palestinians were killed on the 1st day. more pictures of confrontations between palestinians and his body forces have been posted on social media. the light is fine as happened in the area of hebron is ready for us, is also fault with palestinians in the show outside the refugee camp, unoccupied,
4:26 pm
east jerusalem. the currently no reports of casualties. child stratford is that the nor shems refugee county with more details to join us inside the lower shops, refugee camp, the trucks you can see behind me are endeavoring and we're going to be moving some of these destroyed civilian vehicles that you can see. this area is got a number of smacks calls and that's because it's only a few hours ago that is ready. policies let this time the scenes of destruction in various areas within the camp. we understand that at least the thing people were killed here, mostly is ready, forces came in too no rush. i'm around 3 am on thursday morning. the people living in say that they estimate that they could have been up to 200 is ready. the soldiers that came in, they destroyed 5, we understand the homes, they saying belonging to the civilians, we know as well as politically policies to destroy the homes. of those people who
4:27 pm
they think all flights of people hit. i'll do knowing that. but amongst the 13 people killed 7 of them with children. 2 of those kids only 10 years old. so yeah, you can imagine the people they were trying to pick up the pieces and all very angry and date, some of them that we've spoken to want revenge. they obviously are angry about what's happening and garza, but they're also very angry about these. well, they say all the pulling the individual level, it's of the international community, just stop as well. and it's on slow of all of the gaza strip of co since that on slope style 0. so let's say since those kind of satari inside israel, we know that it's around 900 people have been arrested from the the occupied west bank. we understand that there were at least 10 people from this refugee camp that were taken alone last night. so yeah,
4:28 pm
another indication of the kind of the step up and security measures that these riley's, it's a king in the build up to what we understand will be some sort of uh, mandatory operation inside garza, but yeah, these are civilians is a civilian property and the pictures that i hope you're seeing on your screen of the type of states and straights in this kind of, you know, there are 13500 people who live in this particular refugee camp on their, of 10 site. this was the way across the occupied was fine. i think you should be clear. just a few is that i'm familiar with this region. when we say we don't talking about tense, we're talking about people who live today for decades, for example, since 19481967 roles. so these are homes, homes, this property that, that has been destroyed and it would not as whole be inconceivable. we would see, you know, in the hours in the days and the nights had more rates like this by the is right.
4:29 pm
the minutes that we just heard in the last 10 or 15 minutes. the statement by the idea of saying the say they last or one is ready, soldier was killed in this operation. inside this camp we're expecting funerals for us at the civilians that were killed here in the coming hours a month and already expect some very angry sayings and they were getting or pulls now of shelling near lebanon's border with israel, let's go then live tale hash and the joins us from the florida in southern lebanon . so how intense has the shelling been so far today? it was time it wants the a self deliver needs is valuable, does precisely the sh about funds and conceptual as well. uh, launched several and p massage guy and the guy who midsize to watch his ready positions and now is right, is roots all the a think by shutting the area and also the report itself and infiltration towards
4:30 pm
the mind. giving you a settlement on the, is really side of the border from lebanon, and that there was clashes between and on van. and these really security forces are about to the moment. there's no clear indication whether the, the minutes into infiltrated watkins or not last thing. now with reports off as read, why they need the security zone in its territory is to 5 kilometers. the also a lot of concern is that the output ation zone where the fit for that is happening g a, a might be also why then given is really retaliation and as well as a tax on he's ready ministry posts. we'll have to watch how that goes. let's continue this with frank ali. but what we're going to do is go over the other side of the board and we're going to go to fill a moxie, joins us now from television building communities. is there any communities in the north of the country also feeling the heat of those exchanges?
4:31 pm
right. and that's right. so many over the last few days, the is rating that a tree has imposed. essentially an exclusions are in very close to many parts of israel's border with 11, and that's meant that small isolated phones on the smaller communities have already been encouraged to leave. but just today, one community from about 50 coming to the east. the way alley is because you have some on a 20000 people in that city. it's on the edge of the board. it may be 2 kilometers, just east of the border with lebanon, and then run it to be healey area of the country. they have been told by these randy government to evacuate. that process has already started over the course of the last few hours. they'll be moving to places like kind of if even the hotel where we're staying, we'll be taking thousands of those guests and that very much like the communities in the south of israel being moved inside more interior parts of the country. the government will be paying for the board and lodging across cities like ton of eve. but indication that concern these really ministry have about some of those cross
4:32 pm
border text, rectify the, to the read, the entertainment solves that are being used by groups inside lebanon. and then also themselves, he's reading that you're using drones to attack targets inside southern lebanon. and it's essentially an indication on that part that they are willing to try and keep the civilian population away from those areas to give themselves. and that was more room to maneuver as well. i me and this counts like taking it's toll on palestinian is riley communities. you've been out interacting with some of them. tell us the sort of pressure is building up on them or somebody, you know, $1.00 and $5.00. is there any substance is palestinian. they exist in towns and cities right across the country. we went low up to the north east, very close to israel, florida with the west bank and the massive wall that separates those 2 communities . we were in a town yesterday called them assignments with the largest protestant in his riley city in israel. people that many of them wishing for a degree of com,
4:33 pm
concerned about the way that the police have already been reacting inside those communities. and we've seen over the last few days, several protests launched inside israel involving palestinian communities. individuals from the protestant community. one thing to protest against the way these rating of the tree perhaps is operating inside garza. and just last night, one of the lawyers and activists, we spoke to a normal. if i'm talking about the desire to protest, we saw him arrested a few hours off. we met him as part of that phrase as the lunch time rushing over the phone right now is fall from rush. what kind of a level shock that that means, fewer customers and less money when it be in these travel times he says the palestinian community and police force and northern israel should both stay calm. now is the government get in there versus the, the soldiers, the police,
4:34 pm
all of them that was where we are nervous under them and the nervous we need to take it easy on didn't all the living situation at a nearby cafe sunday deputy sits with 2 friends trying to relax, it's a tough task. will she be done? let me thank you. let me see if it's 200 kilometers away from us. put today, if you go out you'll smell of all the smells of the day. the smell is all around the head. he's upset not just about the conflict, but the pressure he feels to stay sign in to the sec. without a doubt, none of us can express their internal feelings. no one can. and if someone says that con, i doubted if i go on facebook, i can't comment, because if i do, i'll be punished. people we've spoken to here say the past 2 weeks to create an unprecedented level of tension in an already 10 community products and ends inside as well. they've chosen to question that learn criticized israel. vaccines and gaza
4:35 pm
. be interested and many here. tell us then, out, afraid to raise that voice a tone please this week, shut down a rad protest in the city of haifa before it really began with an almost time partition from the west bank by the school. there was still some palestinians prepared to protest and green light that was given to his right to do whatever they want to do and gaza made people think instead of doing that to gaza, who we stand, i guess they maybe they decide to do the same things here plus with police the lawyer and human rights activists to join many previous demonstrations in this town. that's often a sense of a palestinian israeli political movements. the protest he helped
4:36 pm
organize thursday night started peacefully but still prompted his violent to rest the month. so does it a little from israel us president joe biden has told american support for his while in ukraine is vibe full to national security. and the prime time television address he sold to convince you is that if congress doesn't provide moment at 3 funding to its allies in the conflicts, the security of the us could be at risk. all white house correspondent, kimberly. how could reports a good day the my fellow americans, the gravity of the moment, underscored by a rare oval office address president joe biden has sought to convince americans. weary of the war and ukraine. the united states must find yet another military conflict in israel come off and put represent different threats. but they share this in common. they both want to completely annihilated a neighboring democracy, completely annihilated. it's

make us feel we are. instead the us president impressed on americans the importance of the moment of stressed his convictions. we cannot and will not let tears like come off and tyrants like putting when i refuse to let that happen. that's why president biden is requesting congress. provide a 100000000000 and security funding for is really ukraine, even taiwan and the southern border of the united states and mexico. but it could be some time before that money materializes. as because the house of representatives is without a speaker. that means all legislation to provide funding is frozen. kimberly help you out 0 white house. and david, the trash is a retired american general, and the former director of the c i a he says as well as in pending ground defensive
4:39 pm
will be challenging or been combat is always challenging. but when you add the presence of over 200 is really hostages, you add in a, an enemy who is willing to kill himself, to take his relatives with them. a movement that, as you know, is founded on the idea of destroying israel and killing jews, as we saw saturday over a week ago with her risk murder, barbaric actions of over 1300 is realize this would be a very, very challenging mission. keep in mind that it took the rocky security forces 9 months to clear a similar city most, all of the islamic state, other terrorist elements, obviously explain this with support of the us. the as really is, are much better. they have a lot more capability. but nonetheless, you, if you truly go into destroy moss and i'm not saying that it will. but if you do that, you have to clear every building every floor, every room, every seller and every tunnel, and that tunnel complex underneath,
4:40 pm
because the city is very extensive. beyond that, of course, the hum us terrorists are known for putting headquarters underneath hospitals in mosques, and so forth. so you have a real challenge for an army, for the is really defense forces that are trying to observe the laws of land warfare are trying to minimize the loss of innocent civilian life, but which inevitably there will be, as well as very considerable damage and destruction just to feel except in facilities and to civilian infrastructures as well as pickup on some of those points we have here in the studio. i'm the and he's an associate professor of middle east history at georgetown university in colorado. good to have you with us . looking at some of the nicest lines, i'm reading off of the news agencies now defense minister you, i've got on spring close to this telling troops a combined to enter. gone, so will come soon. what will that mean?
4:41 pm
how much would changing point, could that be? well, i think from a, you know, a humanitarian perspective. i mean, this is catastrophic for the population of cause. i mean, these are people who've already been bombed for the last 2 weeks. we've seen, you know, no restraint whatsoever on the part of israel's airstrikes, in terms of just a catastrophic damage that it's taking bombing of homes, leveling of neighborhoods, hospital schools, and people who have even been moving south as they've been told. we're also still bombed and so they haven't been spared the leveling of mosques and churches. now. i've done all these dieties will say that they are targeting how mass. and it's how masses fault for using people as human shields. well, this is the most densely populated population center on earth and, and it's becoming even more densely populated than there's absolutely no logic to the type of force that's be used. and certainly this is very much in keeping with a very long term strategy that israel has employed in terms of its ethnic, cleansing,
4:42 pm
of the policy and population. and what we're seeing now certainly looks to be the unfolding of age on a site. i mean, this is a mass killing of children being more than one 3rd of the casualties that have been killed over the last 2 weeks. and the united states and the allies that, that have all stood up to support this and to cheerly this on and to even air lift . more weapons into is real, of course are very much responsible for this, especially when we consider the use of a un security council vito to stop any attempt to cease fire at any attempt of even having a humanitarian stop in the, in the killing. just to allow some aid through the rough border with egypt of looking at the diplomacy, you mentioned the stalling of the un security council resolution. we've seen several western leaders go to israel and express the support for israel to carry out what they said is self defense. does that really say that israel has the full banking in green lights to escalate this also into a ground operation?
4:43 pm
now there is no pressure from its close allies to think about raining. it's in at this point, right. i think that's, that's been the signal that we've seen is that is what was given a full green lights to conduct whatever military operations of themes fit. i think the disagreement, at least from what we're hearing seems to be about what to do the day after. right . so once you've, you've committed this catastrophic destruction of gaza. what will come next? and i think this has been the question that has yet to be answered, either by the israelis or even by any of their allies. and there's a really serious question about the massive humanitarian pull that this is taking. and, and the fact that this clearly is looking to be more in operation of revenge rather than having any kind of specific military achievements or goals or targets. at the same time, we're seeing increasingly disturbing pictures coming out of garza. a church, as you mentioned, has been bumped. we've had hospitals which have been attacked and how, if any single is this impacting a tool,
4:44 pm
the public opinion and the schools in the us? well, i think certainly that's, that's been, you know, a very open question because we've seen the initial response both by political leaders and certainly by the mainstream media in terms of what kinds of images were being said. but i think more recently we've seen as it's been harder and harder to fields, people you know, thinking and watching and listening to all of the images coming out of out of gaza to see that this is simply far beyond anything that they may have even supported in the initial stages, which is why we're starting to see far more of a protest movement. we saw protesters yesterday conduct to sit in within the united states capital building. we're seeing far more expressions of solidarity with, you know, the humanitarian crisis. and guys, it's a folding. and so i think certainly there is a sense that public opinion will not stand for an open ended indefinite. i'm from parliament let alone and land invasion with all of the rest of casualties that
4:45 pm
that's likely to occur for an indefinite period going forward. okay, thank you so much for your analysis on that. the lobby on south tens of thousands of palestinians, a flag, the southern gauze, are in search of some refuge from his brows bombing campaign. many of sheltering in tents are often enough for the number of people in need. few places in the young 5 are even safe as i'm a consumer choice explains finally, a place. so for us, a rare moment of peace for this. let's go. one of more than a 1000000 palestinians falls from the homes. as is right up on bots, the goal. so stress some families have phone shanta at a make shift camp in the southern city of con eunice. instead i knew it was odd monday who the father was injured when it is really masonic at home. she was inside at the time. one of the doctors was can't hire thing about the was that is our house. i use a look at these children. they like me,
4:46 pm
have been in judge. we were pulled from the rubble. how are we at fault? my home collapsed on the same with my daughters, and we came here to live in 10th humiliated. well, i mean, we don't have to go to food or anything. we flirted with only the quotes we were wearing those with a roof over the head of the lucky ones. the united nations relief and books agency has split up a 12010 cent con eunice. but it's nowhere near enough and offers no protection from the ongoing strikes. so no man, there is a as bad, not them. and we now live like our investors in 1948. why this place from our homes? just like them? we're living in tents. a world have mercy on us, we're tired. we want to truce. what does is why want, what displays from our homes? what's more to day want? as well as kevin note as heavy as boom,
4:47 pm
big campaign eval on gaza. more intense than any of the previous was it telling me is determined to route out. i'm off fight is off to the own group as tax southern is well, 2 weeks ago, killing $1400.00 is rallies as well. has also info's the tool to blockade on cause a cutting off impulse of water, food, and fuel. sort of worse and conditions in the decision place than most of the population is dependent on humanitarian aid shop. the entire residential blocks have been hit 2 or 3 times a day. in each strike, 4 or 5 houses, collapse and $40.00 to $50.00. people are killed every time we left our houses and went to you in schools with thousands of people were crowded into 7 schools. and one clinic, but even those schools were not safe enough in a week ago, these really issued
4:48 pm
a multi declaration order of 1100000 palestinians living in the north of the intake ahead of a major ground defensive. but even in the southern balls, that's true, that is really a told piece, told people to move for their own protection. it's not safe. and the consumption of these, i'll just see the so the scene is the biggest protests. yes. and suppose palestine off the find a prize, how much the vile reports we kind of confident the say, you know, this is one of the big difference pro palestinian bodies. so how ever seen people, the guy who was in there thousands of the friday for a a to so they have support for the stadium. brothers, every nationality, income, or listed are pretty presented here. and the number one is loading here is support . 6 conditional support for california because the
4:49 pm
only thing that the killing the and most increasing the most in children. it isn't that i think you're going to hold for does it suit immediately immediately. so we're here to express your opinion that the arabs and muslims should act in solidarity with the palestinian cause they haven't done so for 75 years. if the airbags act taking 3 pound sign in one day, notice the number is many times bigger than last week. and as soon as 10, the amount of growing among people who are if this want to do is i goes to the killing of thousands of civilians, including women and children, goes on. there is likelihood that will be in people. andy's mom because of the situation will not remain the same in front of site. so
