the next to this moment on fiber. optics are kids already? people in a state of shock, people are very scared, very stress. a lot of people are saying the country contents are a tax to bombing mosque. i'm shocked by our government. just care about the houses 0 sources say there are negotiations right now mediated by could far on a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal between from us and israel. the 0 venue good to have you with us. this is elsa 0 life from don't also coming out

the truck carrying much needed medical aid arrives in gaza. red cross teams say that it's the 1st team of medics has also entered the strip doesn't is being strong. the people who does the insurance underneath it. and then the u. n says nowhere and gaza is safe and it's 8 operation is collapsing. thousands in ramallah, oman, and jordan take to the streets in support of palestinians got a garage of rockets this fired from gauze into tel aviv. most of them intercepted by israel's are in don't, but as you see, a civilian building has been here. it's just past 14 gmc, that's 5 pm and gaza. alice's, you're a sources so that their rapid lead progressing negotiations going on right now that

a mediated bike, a tar on a ceasefire, and gaza and a prisoner exchange deal between the homeless and israel. it comes as the humanitarian situation for palestinians is getting worse. almost half of the hospitals have been forced to close. there's been more bombing and civilian areas in the united nations has warned that nowhere and gaza is safe. it also says civil order has collapsed since the war began on october, the 7th israel's bombing campaign across the gaza strip has killed $7326.00 palestinians. that is, according to the health ministry. also 108 palestinians have been killed in the occupied westbank and nearly 3 weeks to palestinian prisoners died in his really custody. israel says however, that they died of natural causes. meanwhile, the israeli government says more than 1400, his relays were killed in the how mazda attack. a team of doctors has entered gaza through the rough crossing on the border with egypt. the medics from the red cross are expected to boost relief operations in the area. a total of 10 trucks are also

delivering medicines, food, and water. but officials were appealing for the immediate delivery of fuel. i don't believe until 5 sams us some tell us some of them to jennifer. this is the 5th convoys of relief. a we've a contract to buy the egyptians earlier today to head to the crossing to prepare 10 trucks headed to the international red cross messages. this, whatever is delivered, there's only a drop in the ocean, was sending an s o s message within 24 hours. the red cross will not be able to function. more than 16000 people, most the children, women, and elderly, were forcibly displaced outputs hospitable. if we failed, we lose thousands of lights, we h for the immediate delivery of fuel without fuel. we comp move these trucks to distribute the hospital's calling to operate. we call your international community to ok to stop, move disasters. house 0 is honey mountain road is inside gauze in hon. eunice.

honey, you're just next to a mass or a hospital. you saw a short while ago medical aid being delivered. what can you tell us? yes, we are reporting a from inside another hospital, just the front yard of the main entrance of the emergency department. and in the past 2 hours we saw a truck pulling in the hospital at filled with medical medical supplies to the hospital. and those medical supplies included uh the necessary uh, on the septic and uh and then it need those injections and other materials and medicine and needed for running through conducting operations and surgeries in the hospital. we also learned a doors use some of the stuff that good could help the hospital physically in terms of fits sheets and mattresses, medical mattresses and needed as much for for uh, injury injury. injured people who brought to the hospital and suffer from

a broken rapes or broken bones as the result of the, of the boat environment. and they were, they were polls from under the rebels. do they expect to get more medical supplies either today, tomorrow or in the coming days or not? mm. well, you know, this truck was, uh, was much needed today. uh, earlier before the truck pulled in, we were talking to the director of the uh, the medical emergency emergency, the, the department who is concerned at the hospital. as of now it does not. and i'm quoting can, does not get to offer any medical. busy services to anyone, just the doors are open just because we have to stay open as a hospital, but we do not offer any any medical services through a truck like this. filled with medical supply was the is sign of hope that hopefully in the coming days we will see more of it as it is not. this certainly

needed at this, this critical time, but no more more than half of the hospitals and guys i've been forced out of service due to lack of, of medical supplies and not necessary material and, and the lack of a fuel and, and at vast majority of people are relying on large hills facilities such as on the ship up or nozzler hospital and find you in a city. so there's hope there's more of this, these of trucks and uh, as the, the red cross it was uh, was coordinating the entrance of, of another quoting voice. there's hold more of these, the trucks will come to the hospital. honeymoon reporting from just outside on us or hospital in a fun, eunice inside the gaza strip. thank you very much. the commission to general of the un agency for palestinian refugees says that is real, is inflicting collective punishments on people in gaza. he said, the majority of those suffering are women and children as long as the last 2 days. what has drastically meant to dis,

consumption of fuel. but this came out to cost out came, had to make a tough decision that no human to invoke us should do what needs most people bakeries will just ation love supervision in the hospital. all this needs fuel to function. the siege means that full time fuel on basic commodities are being used to collectively punish for then to me, to the people among them. the majority of children and women. so we're joined by swell to america, professor of public policy at home. i've been hunting for university, we want to talk about this potentially major news and we got this confirmed by our sources a just a short while ago that there are ongoing negotiations right now that are being mediated by the state of guitar negotiations between homos and israel. uh,

on 2 things, one would be a cease fire and guns, a 2 uh would be a possible exchange of prisoners between home, us and israel. so that's the sum total of what we know right now. we are also told that those negotiations are, quote, progressing, and at a door to an advanced stage. that's the heather, that's how we can characterize them at this stage. or is this happening still down? i think you'll agree, this is major. sure it is measure, but i think we have to be careful not to raise expectations or too much because at the moment you'd speak about cease fire. it becomes complicated. sees fire requires a, a monitoring mechanism to make sure that the 2 sides are committing themselves to this, these fire. it's requires usually a 3rd party to verify the, the actions me and very importantly, aside to as a, as a guarantor to guarantee the agreement. and we've had intentionally be the mediator

here, which is guitar. welcome to potentially company. that's all about as you've noticed 2 days ago, is dr. has has kind of came up with a statement in the commission of tires roll and would do was previous statements against. but that and so on. so there has been some gradual build up of confidence between tar is really nice states and from us. so there are definitely talking, but they need to come up with a, with a form in a uh to verify this is 5, this is very, very important. it is one of the reasons why repeatedly the ceasefire agreements between homos and israel have said that it's the one conflict in the world where there is no 3rd party coming in in between. now that has to be repeatedly closed for the united nation forces to be deployed together both to protect the civilians and to act as a very fire. but that is always a refuse by, by user. and because they see that they see it as part of their silver and look forward to and now i think you have to talk about the ceasefire. the exchange for

captives. we'll have to be careful. i'm not sure if that is gonna happen. both sides. no, and neither, we don't know if we don't know the outcome, right. so this is the information that we have with that there are negotiations that are at an advanced stage. yes. and both sides have what i imagine would be a lot of leverage because israel, on the other hand, were on the day, i think 19 of this relentless bombardment, more than 7000 palestinians killed some the buildings destroyed, etc. that's a lot of leverage on the as really side of things come us has look, it's hard to know exactly how many captives they have is real says 229 mos came out a short while ago yesterday saying that 50 had been killed and is really bombardments. so how many captive do they now have unclear? still they have a 100 plus captives. i think. i think that's that that's probably fact at this stage they have a 100 based on those that's a lot of leverage. of course, based on the experience between them for decades and his variety one is really captive is, is important and they can get to a,

quite to lots of his own exchange for this one person. however, i think as a result of this last few weeks as well has, has become an to, you know, go to an analogy from a friend of mine. and it's a bit like an ostrich egg, very hard from the outside. but it seemed to saw from the inside. and now even with the exchange of these presidents of the captives and people with it as well, are pickering over. are you going to give priority to those with you? will nationalities or adults with his right, the insurance on your hiring, sho, get fired to, to eastern jewish or western jewels. black or not. if you did all those things going on a rather low studies going on as to who you should release 1st. and i'm sure by now i, c r c has received full list from, from both sides the, from us. obviously the civilians and the military captives. and as well has used to have 5000 now they've moved it up to about 6500 prisoners in the last 3 weeks,

they've captured something around 1500 of the i the have mass sympathizers or people that they suspect remotely could be potentially sympathize of how much they've captured or those. so the exchange to reach that stage. i think there's a lot of work to be done as well. if on that side, it's about time between $1.00 and $6.00 and defense. i think the political agenda and the defense agent not 100 percent aligned, particularly after the great human losses. the guys that have suffered and even their back is the us now developing an alternative opinion within the us as to how much support the risk can give blindly to this complex. the fact that yesterday they've had to physically attack within the middle east means the data being drawn slowly, but surely and to a conflict in them. there is so a lot of things are at play here. and i hope like everybody else that there would be a ceasefire, but it has to be thought through so that it is lasting. and it's not just

a human to tell you, impose because that's just something else that, that you and has been calling for. for the last 3 days, it's a so town power account. thank you very much. that's what we can say at this hour. it's for just past 1400 g m t, about these negotiations going on that a mediated between like like a tar negotiations between like a, pardon me, get the words right, negotiations mediated bike of tar between israel and i'm us. now let's look at what's happening on the other side of the world at the united nations because we are expecting that you and general assembly to hold a special emergency session to discuss the war on gaza. that's bringing our corresponding gabriel elizondo. you're, you're at the un headquarters. gabriel. what are we expecting today? yeah, that's right. we're outside of the general assembly here, and we're expecting that this emergency session of the general assembly should be getting underway here within the next few minutes. all 193 member states will have

a representative here. this was an emergency session that began on thursday, and it's to debate a resolution uh by jordan with 42 co sponsors. and in general, it's a resolution that would deal with the conflict is real and guys are trying to bring some sort of ending to the hostilities. they are very important resolution. yesterday we heard from the investors from palestine and from israel. but today on friday, there are more than a 100 different speakers from more than 100 different countries on the list to speak. so this could be a very long session. but we're just getting word in the last few minutes that the a group of eric nations has actually called on 483 pm vote. that would be 19 g n t. even if all the speakers have not completed their speeches today. they're calling for a 3 pm, but want to keep close eye on that to see if the president of the general assembly agrees to that. what's actually in the text that they're looking at

to. yeah, that's a very important question in the text actually changed in the middle of the night and there are 2 key changes it initially was calling for a cease fire. but overnight they changed the language and now the language is different. it is and now caused for an immediate durable and sustained humanitarian truce, leading to association of hostilities. so they took out, sees fire, add it into word truce there. and we're also another key changes there now, explicitly referring to the october 7th attack, but not officially condemning from us, but at least officially can referring to the attack of october 7th. i say why are these changes being made? the answer we think is because they the, the jordan and the 42 co sponsors want to get as many countries on board with this

resolution. and try to get countries such as brazil, switzerland, france, to instead of voting of staining, which potentially is an option for them to actually get on board to support this. so by taking out ceasefire, putting interest, you know it's language, but when it comes to united nations of diplomacy, language is very important. so 2 key changes to this document also costs for the release of all captives as well. gabriel alexander reporting on the latest there at un headquarters in new york. gabe, thank you very much for that. i want to bring in or diplomatic, and it's a james based james. normally you're there in new york doing that, analyzing all of this for us and the several things we could look at here the language. i think let's start with that. that seems to be the most important, which is what is the actual substance that the world countries. so that's what's represented at the general assembly. you're actually trying to get behind on the poor of the woods. and if i can see the council and the general assembly,

the actual words at the tech's, the actual words that they use my to i'm, they spent a great deal of time negotiates negotiating them. and that's what's going on right now. and as gabe said, that it is the sponsor of this resolution the our group led by jordan trying to get as much international support for this resolution as possible. because this is a general assembly resolution on like the security council, which has failed to do anything. a general assembly resolution doesn't really do anything and those might have a great deal of power, other than the symbolic power of age. and i think the sympathetic power of this is it's going to take the temperature of the world. you're going to see electronic voting is what they do in the general assembly. you're going to see them press the button and you're going to see where every single one of 193 member states of the united nations stand. that's why this is important to showing the world where everybody stands, but it's also of course, going to show the world where israel and the us and possibly the u. k. where they

stand potentially on the other side. it may well end up being the west against the rest. and i think that is, that is, i think i'm going to be pretty damming, and it's not going to be something they're going to like in the white house. there are other implications for this. a go way beyond the or full a pooling economies that we're seeing and gaza. right now. there's implications for the will in ukraine. i think some of these countries all say you'll sit and double standards here on the globe. queen of jordan said that we're seeing the i'm, i'm good coalition that they built on ukraine getting a hold of the global science on board that potentially could be threatened by the sort of thing that you've seen in the last 3 weeks with so many people that 3 weeks where 3000 least 3000 children have died. that's israel, killing a 1000 children a week, like i would love to come back to the possible repercussions on ukraine if we have time. but i have to ask you about the language. so gabe was telling us that in this resolution that they are looking at and will be voting on. they have changed from

the word ceasefire, that's out. and they have replaced it with immediate durable, sustain humanitarian truce. what's the, what's the difference? well, i think in the hierarchy of, of, of stopping the fighting for a bait, a ceasefire as seen as the most solid. would the truth seek truth seems more set temporary. and i think some of the countries who maintained israel has the right to defend itself. we can question whether we, what we're seeing is the actual defense or, or a very brutal revenge that is taking place. but they will, they will be public property, happier to go for truce, but seems a little less permanent. then c spa, there is a hierarchy of language on all these things in resolutions, particularly the security council, but also the general assembly was telling you on the security council, they have not come up with this thing and we, so we've seen lots of different resolutions put before the security council, most recently,

a u. s. resolution that was vetoed by china and russia and the russian resolution that didn't pause. it is worth telling you the extraction going on in the security council because the 5 permanent members seem not be able to carry on anything. there are 10 members who are nice of to use each on the security council, the circle elected members. they are now working on their own resolution to try and get something, a compromise level attacks that perhaps something that everyone could support. and of course, if back comes in and it's a security council resolution fact is technically binding international law is rout, should follow it. but it's worth telling you there are lots of un security council resolutions that exist for very many years. the israel does not by james base houses here as diplomatic editor. i'm told we've got to move on because there's so much i who is coming out of israel and gaza that will speak to you again. thank you very much. as we continue to take a look at what's going on at the you when the world food program says that 9 of its trucks have entered garza since the rough crossing was opened on saturday. but it

was that to reach the 1000000 palestinians a need for the trucks to day need to be entering gaza. the wi fi says it has provided emergency supplies of canned tuna and bred to 475000 displaced palestinians in un shelters. previously 23 bakeries contracting the 2, the wsp were feeding almost a quarter of a 1000000 people to day, but now just 2 or operating that is due to a lack of fuel. the wi fi also says that for every person who receives assistance at least 6 more or need and don't get it, a beer is the senior middle east books person for the world food program. i spoke to her a short while ago and she described some of the challenges for the teams on the ground in gaza. that's when she got the dropping in with the like a big 6 supplies and see the fuel shortages that's really going to threaten bringing or humanity getting operations into a whole food than water. all running out and people are facing increasing the

desperate conditions. and also the outside even of got the endorse, come conditions of deteriorating every day and food is running short. so without the addition of fuel supply and also with the why we was come the opening of the wood, the crossing point last week. i think the number of too many studies a because the trip because inside guns up on these convoys has been really very limited. so it's a very difficult situation. yeah. well then we are able to, to adopt we sense so far is like probably less than a $100000.00 people. and we go straight back to the un general assembly in new york where the representative of jordan is currently speaking. it is adopted and it's essential to emphasize that in the event of the adoption e. s. them would only be temporarily at john immediately following at the conclusion of the debate,

thinking stuff as then i found good distinguished representative of georgia, the representative of georgia and the has moved back to the beach on the agenda. item 5, be suspended a 3 pm to the for the assembly to proceed to the consideration of draft resolution, a stroke e s 10 stroke l 25. and that the debate will continue after the action on the draft resolution. it is my understanding that without setting a precedence on the given the urgency of the issue, if the assembly would you decide to suspend that? the beat on agenda item 3 on the agenda item at 3 pm for the assembly to proceed to the consideration of draft resolution,

a stroke e s 10 stroke l 25. and to continue the beach after the action on draft resolution. the end of the assembly were to adopt the draft resolution later to the 10th emergency special session would be june temporarily following the conclusion of the debates on item 5. is there any objection to the motion is a so decided before proceeding flu though, i wish to address the question consuming. the majority required for the induction of the draft resolution in light of optical, 18 paragraphs,

$2.00 and $3.00 of the charge of the united nations. is there any objection to taking action on draft resolution, e e s 10 l 25. by a 2 thirds majority of the members present under voting i see no objection. the 2 thirds majority of members present and voting is therefore required for the adoption of draft resolution. a. e s 10 stroke l 25. the 2 thirds majority of members present on voting is therefore also required for the adoption of any amendment to the draft or is it resolution?

i now give the flow to the distinguished representative of the delivery it varian republic of venezuela. or you're listening to proceedings at the united nations general assembly. we're going to break down everything that's happening for you. we have houses here was corresponding gabriel elizondo who was standing by at un headquarters in new york. and we've got the pleasure of having a options here as diplomatic, as a james, based with us in the studio gave. i'll start with you. we. so we listen to the last few minutes of, of, of proceedings. explain to us what we heard. the speaker was saying the debate on the draft resolution on the gaza war will be suspended if i'm getting all of this right at 3 pm. they're speaking eastern time, so that's in over 4 hours. the debate will be suspended and i believe that's when

they would then proceed to vote, but run us through the steps of the yeah, that's right. essentially what happened here was a procedural maneuver here. and so let me just explain it. today. there are more than a 100 countries on the list that want to speak about this resolution that could go on for a very long time on friday, perhaps even into saturday. so what did your damien ambassador did? who is sponsoring this resolution with 43 co sponsors is he asked the president of the security council no matter where we're at at 3 p. m local time. that's 19 gmc. can we please request to stop the debate and take a vote at that time with no objections to the president of the general assembly as you just are said yes. so essentially what you have here is pretty much pretty simple. they're basically saying we're going to go on with the debate will go on hearing from speakers about at 3 pm local 19 g. we'll stop and we'll take

a vote. that's essentially what just happened here in the general assembly building . what does the vote then look like? so it will be at 19 gmc, just over i said, for it's actually over 5 hours from now. what would that phone look like? i don't mean the results. i just mean what are we going to be seeing at that point? but and unlike the security council where and the security council and votes are taken, the investors simply raise their hand yes or no or raise their hand if they want to abstain. here in the general assembly, there are a 193 members. it's a lot of countries represented here, of course, the entire united nations body, if you will. so when boats are taken in the general assembly, it's done electronically. there's a big screen where all of the, where all the, the display of all the votes are, are put on a big screen, either green voting for red voting against or abstaining. all the investors have a representative to have something they can click to register their vote. it's very

simple, it's pretty quick and it's very transparent. so we'll get the the vote totals very quickly after the vote is called gabriel, thank you very much. i turned to james james, i think we need the reminder of yours. number one, what's actually the content that they're debating and that they will be voting on the start there? yeah, well this is a resolution that's being worked on for some considerable time by the jewel. they need an investigator. and here at the end of his speech, the mood, her mood has a very experienced you and diplomat. in fact, he's most of the last 10 years in new york, he was the deputy ambassador then went back to amman and now is the ambassador of very experienced diplomat. and this is not just the jordanians doing this. this is the arab group, the arab countries at the, at the u. n. a rule working on this together. so all of those are up diplomats of all of those diplomatic missions from the arab states of working on this together. and what that trying to get initially the word was c spa. now they're talking about a durable truce that trying to get something the security council hasn't managed to

agree on, which is a way of stopping the fighting for a bit to get aided. because everyone from the un secretary general, antonio guitar was down in the un system. everyone, and then every single and g o you speak to say, there's not enough age gone into casa, even the a, this got there is only, it's impossible to distribute it because of the continuous bomb button. so what we're trying to do is negotiate a resolution that as many countries as possible will sign on to. now this is not binding on israel. israel does not have to put this on this uh, this humanitarian truth or pause in place. but i think that thinking that they think what the weight of most of the world, and they're going to have every single country which is go to this site, is positioned on this. i think most of the world certainly must do it. it's a huge moral weight on this route, but more importantly perhaps on the us, which is all to be the only country that can false and even that's nothing totally true. well, no, not entirely clear, but the one country,

the perhaps conflicts restraint on this row. one area of disagreements, not in this particular in this specific form, the generalist and.
