and says it's been the death sentence for the people of gaza. we saw that she went to j. n a 2 man delivery to within the last with one orderly mechanism under the sections of it supervision of the united nations. is this really so hard? 3rd, a yamaha and any attempt to get a divorce of the display of the people within its territories or to neighboring country. for the 3rd time in its history, all the sites in protection has a reason or any other reason to have any such attends must because from to look for resolutely what the ends rejected the category 3. well, as i know not in the 11th and no other, we must refer here also stated in the call made by something additions in this very whole similar emergency special session. and then i know nominating values that might be lost and sometimes when now we see them show understanding before or even acquiescence of the basic kind of thing. and so 2 neighboring countries,

why not the of the, they have used, they have, they are used to ignoring this people just ignoring blah, blah, in the cause for centuries, ignoring its rights and the right of the people of the region until we reach the absolute bottom note of the force, but the space and the business really so hard for us to be able to assume the leadership has insisted to time and again onto finding protection international protection to its people languishing under the yoke of occupation, especially in light of feats, advise nations by arms, secular munitions, but these calls have fell on deaf ears. we cannot tell, but to call once again before you all for providing this protection in the hope that this would awaken the concerns of those that are nominating the loss of human rights. of all people, all people, except for the kind of thing and people's to those rides, they turn their backs. miss presidents, ladies and gentlemen,

email you the proposals of getting women and children. proponents of the siege, the forcible displacements and other proponents of the war. they claim that this floor aims to counter terrorism and uprooting terrorism, but the reality is but failing to take effective and immediate measures to stop this war. what inevitably fuel terrorism which would push generations of young people towards extremist ideologies. and i'm not caught. the reality is also that not stopping this for now before it's too late, which will push the whole region towards a devastating v to know more that will affect the interest of those who are stalling in calling for it and more then the interest of other countries the realities also, that failure to come out of this crisis with your vision to revive the piece

process, revise a serious piece process that address the fluids of the current crisis. and that would lead to those 2 state solution. what's doable, a grave mistake with long term repercussions. future generations will hold us accountable for our inaction and our, my, your, you, ladies and gentlemen, egypt as an eating country, talk along the leaving country and in consolidating keys. and the middle east will continue. it's tireless efforts efforts to ensure a ceasefire to protect civilians switch where is the delivery of humanitarian aid. it will continue to mediate to release hostages of the captives and prisoners. it will continue to work on creating and conducive environment to revive the peace process that is the only way to achieve peace and stability in the middle east. considering all of the above. so presidents, ladies and gentlemen, i call upon you just the 4th, the draft,

the draft resolution under consideration today at to vote in favor for this resolution to achieve justice, to apply one standards aiming, own the stopping, the kidding, of maintaining peace and security as protecting civilian so we hope that this position would be in you close to achieving peace, and the middle east will have them all. the ladies and gentlemen who talk this absurdity stopped. this war immediately stands on the side of the truth and justice . vote in favor of this resolution. save the peace. is this really so hard? i thank you mister president. i found the distinguished representative of egypt as no invite that this was the distinguished representative of new zealand to take the flow the

while as this positive 15 gmc, that 6 pm and gaza. you've been listening to the special session of the united nations ahead of a vote on a resolution that calls for 8 jubal choose. we're going to get more than that shortly. for those of you just joining us, here's an updates on the war in gaza. they're all just data sources and negotiations are progressing rapidly between hom, us and israel, honestly as far as prisoner exchange to the talk. a mediated by costs out comes as the humanitarian situation for palestinians in garza is getting worse by the minute . almost half of the hospitals have been forced to close, as well as bombing residential areas in the north and the sides of the stripe. and the united nations says civil order has collapsed, as well as soon as the war began on the we're going to go to get the low zoned of who's been waiting for us at the united

nations general assembly is that specially emergency session has been going on at gabe, there have been a few changes ahead of the resolution being held in voted on today and the speeches that are being held just talk us through quickly on those amendments have been the yeah, the new solution that was altered in the middle of the night here the 2 key changes number one is they took out the cease fire language and instead inserted call for an immediate durable and sustainable humanitarian truce leading to association of hostilities. so they're calling for a truce rather than a ceasefire. now again, this is diplomacy, language matters, and also now the document is now explicitly refers to the attack of october 7th, but not does not eh, identify from us individually. so these are the 2 key aspects of it here in this new draft resolution that we expect to be voted upon here in the united nations

general assembly. and about 19 g m t about 3 pm here in new york. i gave you the listen to the speeches hasn't been going on over the last hour or so. what's your take away from as well we, we, we, we, we carry out of these last 3 speeches live. so, you know, i won't go through the play by play of what every speaker said, but what we did here from is o mon car and egypt and they all were united, big picture here. they were all united in supporting this resolution. that should become as no surprise, of course. and you've been hearing the themes that we've been hearing from some of these countries over the last 2 weeks here at the united nations. when some of these resolutions, different resolutions were debated in the security council, there's been 4 that have failed and the security council and the big take away,

i think from what you're hearing from the 1st 3 speakers that we just carried life is your sensing more urgency. that is the key difference here it is no longer a matter of. there might be a humanitarian crisis in guys. we could be facing humanitarian crisis. and guys, that was the language we were hearing for many countries a week ago, 2 weeks ago. now what you're hearing is language that is saying we are facing a humanitarian crisis. are we meeting the people of gaza and really some language in here as well as speakers really concerned about? if this is not dealt with, if a association of hostilities is not dealt with immediately by the general assembly, this could get even worse. okay, but for not as long as you very much. indeed, obviously that meeting is still going on and we will be coming back to you as various speakers come up. but for now gabriel, that is under the un. thank you very much. indeed. we're going to get more and more it's happening at the u. n. with our diplomatic, edited james based on sofa and bought a kinase, professor of public policy,

and then call the 5 university welcome to both. thank you very much. and the james, i want to ask you 1st about these amendments and changes to the wording that the gabriel was referring to there. and you were saying before that the wording of documents like this is very closely scrutinized the un talk as to why that isn't. why this is a pull to, could i for over every single was in both secret council engine, assembly resolutions, words matter. and there's a hierarchy of language in the un, different words mean different things. yes. in reality and the truth and a see spa, all pretty much the same thing. they mean the fighting stops, at least for a period. but i think in the, in the hierarchy of language spot is seen in the u. n. a slightly more permanent than truce. that's why they substituted the truth for c spa, they were trying to do those to the foot forward. this resolution, which is jordan,

on behalf of the rest of the, our group, the arab countries of the united nation. so the trying to do is get as many votes as possible for this resolution. it's not binding on any one security council resolutions, a binding and international law general assembly resolutions on not bought. it will show what the world thinks about this. a 193 countries get the johns said like tronic voting to press a button and show what they think. so it will be taking the temperature of the will actually in for us to i'm going to have to vote the vote this on this, which is the joe daniel, our group resolution that they've now watered down perhaps a little bit by putting the word truce durable choice in the places the spot and then another and then, but because be put forth by canada that came in overnight. and all those on that to that amendment is having a paragraph that unequivocal, rejects and condemns the terrorist attacks by hamas. on the 7th of october, that's being added to the resolution. if that amendment and what not amendment is

voted on if it's voted on in favor. complicate things even further. i'm speaking to watch is of the general assembly very closely. people have been speaking to, there is the possibility on the floor of introducing further or amendments when the vote happens. so this is going to get excited. so we're expecting the vote to be happening. run about 19 gmc, that's 3 p. m local time. i think something i want to, i want to ask you, um, are there any historical precedents where jim's was pointing? this is a non binding resolution. but is there any historical precedent where it gives us an indication of the kind of influence that this kind of resolution would have on a situation like this. our people are like, those is real on those supporting israel, likely to be influenced by what is happening here. well that's it's non binding, but morality it is important. and i think part of the reason for including some amendments to the solution now is to try and wide in the base of the countries that are in support of this resolution. and particularly important is to have some

european and possibly even a new zealand and australia and other countries signing up to this. the language as jim. so saying is very, very important to you as far as usually associated with states. so no one on some of those countries did not want to even consider from us as being a state data. so a truce is a non state act of language and the humanitarian is obviously there is a purpose for this cease fire or this, this ational facility. so now is just for the community and purpose. if how much goes on to resupply or develop as to the dramatic contacts as on that it's in preacher office cessation of hostilities. so that is also important. and to bring those countries on board, you know, there's a, if you like a spectral continuum of kind of positions. the read fire is the united states and canada, who sees how mazda and of, for some brigade or less terrorist. and then in the middle, there are

a states like new zealand, and few other states that make a distinction between cassandra gate and thomas. but the vast majority of the world states do not recognize how much as if those are going to vision. but as to, as an organization, as part of a legitimate defense, if it's on the land and it gets occupation, so i think and giving or given all this, you see that there is a lot of discussion on. yeah. susan james, please stay with this because we've got more of course coverage of the un general assembly emergency session. but we're going to move on just for a moment. the team of doctors has entered gaza through the off a crossing on the border with egypt. the metix from the red cross that we expected to support relief operations, 10 trucks and delivering that some food and the water, the u. n. and by close to repeating for the immediate delivery of fuel or tonic assume is in calling us in gaza and talk, just bring us up to date with the situation with regarding some of that medical aid

that's being delivered to the e. gaus trip has witnessed the entry of 10 medical uh, troops to the disease, to treat, treating different kinds of medical supplies and fruitful to underwater as well the meant to kill, that'd be till this till now. the number of, if you could have been attorney trucks the, into the goals district has reached out for the 80, for since the beginning of this month. to find thing that ring does an easy way of these kinds of medical, these kinds of medical and human attorneys supplies to be limited in comparison with the basic and daily needs of the disease or treatment within 2300000 palestinians hawkins. human move on to 100 top speeds that you in order to match the needs of the ongoing also flow to of a don't. but i'm going flow to all of these ready for this can be complete prevention of to enter to the guns district might excessive beat the current situation in a critical levels to let me ask you about the situation with regard to the delivery of fuel that obviously its medicine is that vitally important food is vitally

important, but the key thing that you have been reporting on our colleagues have been reporting on for the ever since this conflict the gotten was the, the necessity of having fuel to keep things going. is there any indication about fuel supplies being able to get into gaza? well, if you consider to be the backbone of the kind of kansas trip ends, even the majority of guys with facilities including the united nations facilities, even medical facilities are depending a long as the on a few of us have as so instead of the beginning of this trying to find a new, if you, a few shipments will deliver to the gaza strip and the, the, this a coast to uh, to make an ongoing black out of electricity. uh, were palestinians on no, i'm no longer able to pick up the houses or even to use a fuel to generate a, to use a fuel to generate electricity. and on going up like house electricity as meets a such a great loss as to different aspects of different industrial sectors and the see chart tree also the,

the amount of the tools that even existing and the goal is to start to run out. so that has been used to generate hospitals and even did that was the minister of health has made different abuse international organizations to a to allow until food and didn't see monitoring to results, to deliver skewed and medical supplies. the amount of shipment that deliver to the gold strip is to remember to call the goal is this trip is an urgent, isn't a great and the needs of ads and intervention in order to allow to the ext onto the flow of fuel to the territory. and topic when the supplies to get to the 2 guys and we're well aware that it's not nearly enough. what is the process that people have to go? so in order to be able to get things like bread and fine with the basics that they need well, this process is entirely complex. people are forced to, to lonely, not for long hours in order to have a few legs of bread at may while uh they are no longer able to pick up the houses due to the ongoing like ultimately, tricity also the,

our need to get the picture is do not allow for a pallet fitness only just every passenger take a co to of 3.5 kilograms of that i'm not really totally match the needs of that sound, especially with the palestinians. with the majority of color schemes, families are considered to be extended families and also people inside the church. we are trying to depends on the local consumption of the local pro, different the markets in order to match needs. so now these kinds of products will run out. so if there is there any kind of further shipments going to be delivered to the police church, we also have the situation of the shelters. the awfully to the united nations are really catastrophe. schools and even classrooms are overcrowded with displaced people who were this we're who really evacuated houses and then also the gaza strip and move forward to the southern areas that are really facing such catastrophe. consequences in terms of having access to. so i'm the, are much great, the brother and concerns about so be spread supposed to evict with these among these people that you to be pulled up from the number of citizens to the state from the houses tag. thanks very much indeed. tell me what was going, bring us up to date from calling you this and you guys are or whether you find it

says nowhere in gaza is safe and that its entire 8 operation is collapsing. the head of the un agency for palestinian refugees says the trickle of a that's been a load and is nowhere near enough for the millions of palestinians in need. i shall hold on reports. this is life in god. truly totally vanities rushing their loved ones to over crowded hospitals as each valley asked wives search. so does the number of policy and casualty this mother clings to her child a. she's kind of a to the operating room. if father and his son are rescued from under the rubble, he has no idea if the other members of the family have survived the

different faces the same tragedy which will again and again by so by those this women last 7 children, adults anymore. and her grandchildren, the, i wish i had never had children. don't send us, send us a sense. she cries, the medical teens overwhelmed and running on to even the most basic supplies. volunteers, we de hiring stories about what it's like inside the guides as hospitalized by the injuries news. redwood city advantage up to 40 degree that has not been using

them escaped books. notice that the in the musical programs i did not think 6 of his in my life. he's where is bombarding several areas of the street from does the city in the north to hon units of the south. people are desperate for shelter, but for now, the main concern is best queuing, loved ones trapped under the wreckage. what was ones? how old are they? some a recent, it's like have a shima. there is no humanity left in the world. no one is standing by as we have slept since yesterday, and we haven't been able to pull anyone out there was 70 to 80 people in this house of young children still under the rubble of humanitarian aid agencies. war civil order is collapsing basic services. a company medicine is running out of food and water. running out the student does a. i've started over throwing, we said, which doesn't use on debris of

a message has as all bodies find that makes shift moves, families have only a few minutes to identify the relative and say good by the, for the next as to like, it's actually by just 0 the world food program says 9 of its trunks of entity, guys, us instead of crossing was opened on saturday. but this morning, but to reach the 1000000 palestinians a need 40 trucks a day need to enter gaza. the w r fee says is provided emergency supplies of 10 to 9 and bred to 475000 displace palestinians in new and shelters. previously 23 bakeries contracted to the wi fi or feeding, almost a quarter of a 1000000 people to day. but not just to the operating because of a lack of fuel. so that'd be a fee. says that for every person who receives assistance,

at least 6 more are in need. of the other 2, if i is the senior mentally spokes person for the world for the program. she describes some of the challenges for the teams and the grinding gaza. and that's what she does that is dropping in with the lots of big 6 supplies and see if you would, shortages. that's really going to disrupt and bringing or humanitarian operations into our whole food and water out running out and people are facing increasing the desperate conditions. and also the outside even of got the endorse, come to the conditions of the to really say every day and sleep is running short. so without the additional fuel supply. and also with the why we would have come the openings of the would the cost and find last week. i think the number of too many studies a that because the chickens inside of that on these convoys has been really very limited. so it's a very difficult situation. we're able to add to that we sent so far is like

probably less than a $100000.00 people. so that said he listened compared to the usual size of the needs that we have inside office. so it is for us to be able to provide assistance to people in government, have to scale up a patients to provide for one video people. we need 40 trucks of w, a feed from one to and the every day to this one, the cost in point. so we definitely, it's not enough. we need more. uh, you know, more the opening, we need much more, you know, these trucks needs to be scaled up. it needs to be much, many, many more than the 20 truck. so every day is there any armies? preventative worship, as i'm gathering ahead of friday president like similar skin, occupied east jerusalem and fishes in occupied east jerusalem. and he describes how difficult it is for palestinians to enter lots and lots comp time to pray as well.

if you look over the compound of, i'll ext, uh, normally on a friday you get somewhere in the region of 40 to 60000 people coming prison over for the day. so it was quite empty. but there was only 5000 people there today. and the reason for that is in westbank times that up locates so the police are stopping people getting anywhere near here and then around the city itself. it's very difficult for anyone to get close to the most the we thought that maybe this young people were being discoveries, but pictures from inside the city on one of the ways leading to the most men in their fifties, the 60s to seventies. they've been pushed away by the police telling them to know getting to the most to date. and why did use just up the road to you not far from lions gate, where many people in the occupied westbank an occupied east. jerusalem would make their way to pre, i'll axa the road was blocked, and the police pushed are you working out? does it? i want to take you back to the general assembly emergency specialist session and the protection of the palestinian civilian population. this is the us ambassador to

the un glenda thomas greenfield, playing out before our eyes. this is enough to make one lose faith in humanity. how could the mos carry out such barbaric acts of terror? how could tomas gun down civilians burn families to live and execute children and do so with lee? how could a mass make take? take more than 200 people hostage. innocent civilians including a 9 month old baby and his 4 year old brother. how could a mass justify taking a 23 year old american citizen church? whose parents i met this week? and the answer is, they cannot. there's no justification for tara, none whatsoever. you all know that, and we must condemn her mouses acts of terror. how much is goals are single

minded and they're sick. me, they are determined to destroy is rolling killed jews unless be clear how moss has never cared about the genuine needs or concerns or safety of the people it claims to represent. and thomas has no respect for the rule of law or human life to them. palestinian civilians are expendable to them. power standing civilians are human shiels. and it really is a speck of bo and it's cowardly. the lives of innocent palestinians must be protected the lives of un personnel, and humanitarian workers, and journalists must be protected. and we mourn. we mourn the loss of every single and then sent life in this crisis. every single one. we must not

look away and we must not become numb to the pain and the suffering of people like y o that do a power standing in journalist, his wife, son, daughter, and grandson. 2 for children, god, so this week and my heart breaks for awhile, my heart breaks for all, all of the innocent civilians who were caught up in this crisis. colleagues, the united states has made clear of both public and private conversations that as israel exercises, it's right. and indeed its responsibility to defend its people against the terrace group. it must do so in line with the rules of war. there are no law free zones in war. international humanitarian law must be respected throughout the gaza and the region by all actors as president biden and secretary blinked. and in

partnership with the u. n. n. regional actors are engaged in direct diplomacy to help protect the lives of all civilians and to ensure humanitarian assistance can flow into gaza. as humanitarian organizations have stressed, the needs of palestinians and guys that are dire. so many families lack access to food, clean water and other essentials and hospitals need fuel to keep patients alive. this is the humanitarian emergency. and we're doing everything in our power to save lives. the united states is the single largest donor to the palestinian people. having contributed more than $1000000000.00 to unwrapped since 2021. and last week president biden announced an additional $100000000.00 and humanitarian assistance

for the palestinian people in gaza and the west bank. well, in the region present invite and also secured an agreement with israel, egypt, and the united nations that allowed a to start reaching gaza. but much more needs to be done much, much more is needed and it's needed urgently. we continue to encourage israel, egypt, and all partners to take concrete steps to alleviate this humanitarian crisis. just as we continue to urge and encourage all member states, particularly those with the greatest capacity to give to help us meet the u. n's appeal for the humanitarian situation. in gaza, colleagues, time is of the essence and lives hanging the balance. as, as you'll notice,

2 key words are missing in the resolution before us. the 1st is hum us. it is outrages that this resolution fails to name the perpetrators of the october 7th terrorist attack. how much, how much it is outrages. another key word missing in this resolution is tough stitch. this resolution makes no mention of the innocent people including citizens of many of you in this room. many of you here today who are, who have citizens who are being held hostage by some us and other terrorist groups . these are omissions of people. and they give cover to and they empower a mouse is brutality and no member state. no member state should allow that

to happen. you should not let it stand. and that is why we have co sponsor in them in that put forward by canada. that corrects these glaring omissions. this amendment is straightforward and it's objectionable. it calls on us to condemn a masses terrorist attacks on october 7th, and it calls for the immediate and unconditional release of hostages. it should be easy. this is the bare minimum that we would hope to see in this resolution. we urge all member states to vote yes on this amendment. the general assembly must send a clear message to the world that we stand against all acts of terror, and that we stand with all those who are being held hostage. we believe the un security council, a body charged with maintaining international peace and security,

must send the same message. and that's why this we, we put forward a security council resolution that garnered the support of the majority of the council. in drafting this tax, we solicited input from all council members, including russia and china. and the product of our consultations was a balance and strong resolution. that among other things, condemned a mouse. this terrorist attacks call for the immediate and unconditional release of hostages stress. the urgency of addressing the humanitarian crisis and gaza, including through humanitarian pauses and make clear that we must keep the hope of a 2 state solution alive. again, this was a strong and balanced text, but unfortunately,

russian china decided to be taught this resolution. and while the united states work to forge consensus around a balance product, russia has put forward that faith one sided resolutions without any consultations whatsoever. colleagues, one sided resolutions, whether they are put forward in the security council, or the general assembly will not help to advance piece or not when they ignore the facts on the ground. one sided resolutions are purely rhetorical documents that seek to divide, that set a time when we should all be coming together. and we must not claim to long standing lines of division. as president biden said yesterday, there is no going back to the status quote. as it stood on october 6th, we must not go back to the status quo o, where a mosque terrorizes

a as role and uses palestinian civilians as human shields. and we must not go back to the status quote. where extreme is settlers can attack and terrorize palestinians in the west bank. the status quote is untenable, and it is unacceptable. this means that when this crisis is over, there has to be a vision of what comes next. in our view, that vision must be centered around a 2 state solution. getting there will require concerted efforts by all of us is release palestinians regional partners and global leaders to put us on a path for peace. to integrate israel with the region while insisting that the aspirations of the palestinian people did to be part of a more hopeful future. we deeply regret that the

resolution now under consideration is detrimental to this vision. but while this resolution is deeply flawed and does not meet this moment in the united states will continue to work with all member states to try a future. where is riley's and palestinians have equal measures of security, freedom, justice, opportunity, and dignity, and a future where palestinians realize they are you legitimate right? to self determination and a state of their own? thank you very much. i i thanks to distinguish the representative of the united states for that statement . i now give the flow to distinguish representative. so you're watching on to 0. we're bringing your live coverage of the general assembly emergency specialist

session date to which is discussing the situation in gaza. that was the us from boston to, to the young linda thomas greenfield, speaking as she was speaking in the bottom left hand corner of you know, we can see them full frame. these are pictures of life pictures of the skyline and guys, and that we are watching a significantly large bombardment. there's been going on for the last, possibly 3 or 4 minutes, not lighting up the sky across guns. or you can probably see the plumes of smoke that are floating into the sky above the sky line. now as the a tank has been going on, as the us ambassador to the un has been speaking, some of the explosions, counting on their, on the far sky line. one of bringing gabriel ellis on the un headquarters who's been listening to everything that's been going on is linda to thomas springfield. are we speaking? i gave in that speech there we heard criticisms specifically of from us. we heard

the need for a humanitarian age to be going into jobs. the she said to p, we some missing from the revised resolution. excuse me, the resolution. the 1st word is her last and with regards to what happened on october, the 7th, the attack that it count it out and also no mention of what she described as hostages. what's your take on what she was saying? yeah, that's really what you just heard. there, let's go through each of those briefly. she said 2 kids words missing number one is from us, the us ambassador saying that it's outrages that in this resolution, the word of mouth is not mentioned. i will say, let me address that. the error of investigators say that they do not want to make this document political. that is why they say there is not a need to include the word from us in there. and they do have in the resolution

condemning the attack on october 7th and everyone that was killed. but the actual word from us being in the document is something that the us and to a lesser degree, the u. k. has been very hung up on now for well over a week. the other issue, quite frankly, is a little confusing. she says that there is no mention of the word hostage in this resolution. she's right, however, the changes that were made in the resolution. i've got it right here. it calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all civilians who are being illegally held captive. so she clearly wants her mouse put in there, or i'm sorry, she wants to hostage put in there a little confusing. why? but clearly that's one issue for her. it's important to point out as well. and this is a little bit of a new posture by the us. she started or in the beginning of her speech, saying that all lives are important that the lives of innocent palestinians,

humanitarian workers, and journalists must be protected. uh the us uh, identifying palestinian lives 3 weeks into this conflict and now explicitly referencing palestinian lives that are being lost something that they weren't doing just a week or 2 ago. also i should point out in conclusion, referencing our outages here, a colleague a while to add to work who, who lost several family members because it is really far as men. she's saying that she mourns to life, and the us mourns the loss of the life of his loved loved ones from our alex's era call week. there clearly though to us has addendums to this resolution that they want to see put forward. they want from us put in it, and they also want the word hostage put in it as well. okay, but for another, thank you very much. indeed, we're going to be coming back to our coverage of course, of the you and the special session as it is going on. we're going to be speaking to you when that happens for not science very much indeed. and of course we're watching. but those of you just joining us of very significant size of attack on

the, on guys the city. this is the nighttime skyline of guys. it's about to 6139 pm in guys at the moment. and we have seen a succession of explosions, lights up the sky over guys as we've been talking. we're going to get more on this uh with our diplomatic editor, james, based on source and bought a car. so he's professor of public policy. tom, i've been calling you for the university. they've been with us whilst we've been covering this. james, one thing that did occurred to me when it was listening to linda thomas springfield, there was no mention of a cease fire, and no mention even of a temporary truce. no, she didn't mention it, although she is now saying, and this is significant, but she is co sponsoring the canadian amendment. this is the canadian amendment which adds the bits that she says was nothing the resolution which is mention of hamas and mention of the word hostages. that is in the canadian amendment. now the canadian amendment doesn't take anything out of the jordanian arab resolution. so

if the us was to get his way and this canadian amendment was to go in and then everything else in the resolution would stand. and that, i think would be interesting because among the things that the us for as a major continuous sufficient and on him to provision of a central good services to civilians. and it makes, it specifies lots of food, medical supplies, fuel and electricity. so if this us canadian, a man, it was paused and this resolution then was passed. that would mean israel was applied by the whole of the world and to the us voting for it to restore the electricity and the fuel supplies in go. so i think that is pretty significant potentially, if that scenario where to emerge. just one other thing to say, i mean couple of things to say more on this, especially the dimension of why a lot colleague whose family, many members of his family were killed in recent hours. i think that is interesting

coming from the us, ambassador. i know linda thomas greenfield, pretty well. she was pretty moved. i can tell you by the death of our other colleagues, should we now blacklist? because she actually was interviewed by sharing in the region before she readings test. i think it's interesting that she included that, but also was saying, she says the israel must comply with the rules of law. she made that very, very clear. what of course she doesn't pronounce on is whether they are doing so. and as she speaks, you saw real time evidence of what is going on on the ground if you can see it. now the buttons continuing to land in gaza was reminding of us that we've got one of the heaviest, bombardments anywhere in modern history taking place. is this legitimate defense on the international law? most international lawyers do not think so. 7000 people that were coming to the 3 week mark and we've got over 3000 children that, that is israel killed coming on average in the last 3 weeks, a 1000 children

a week or something. while we're also watching these accessed honestly and pictures coming from the sky line of jobs, i wanted to ask you about. the fact that i meant to talk about springfield seemed to take pains to stress the us involvement. with regards to providing aid and money for the palestinians, particularly she said, so she described it as the u. s. being the single largest donor to the past, sending people through the policy and agency a of a the year on. do you think just given what we're setting, given the nature of the speech that she's got given? so does this give you an indication that the us is, if nothing, i was trying to why you can it's perception, if you like, of what is going on and gauze as the situation on the ground starts to shift. i mean, history tells us that these kind of features there was done with an eye on the international community, on an island of domestic politics. and you can see now domestically there is a rising content to the way the united states has signed the support. it is right off of this. so by taking the credit for lowering these 10 trucks

a day and giving it that is divided, this is one way of subsiding, i think some political opinions within the united states. uh what i found very interesting and what she, what she was saying. aside from the difference to was that due to his family as in the case for shipping? i don't think she she's move because i'm just another journalist. i'm that tens of janice being killed by as well and palestine. it's assigned that they understand the power of ginger network. so they're trying to, to, to, you know, work into the system. some kind of sympathy alongside, they're just 0. and what i found also may be important to highlight. they don't seem to have read the woodson amendments and how most charter, that's where the introduce back in 2017. i mean, she is repeating a power thing with the attorney who has said before about how much intending to

kill all the jews this address address that has know that ex reference in the charter. and as you know in 2017 or some reforms updates is the time when also the leader was elected as a honey uh, with m g as a moved from from tyler and so on. so that there are lots of things that have happened that it may be just convenient for the as not to place it into context. i mean, this amendments took place almost immediately after obama eh, eh, of stain from featuring a united nations security council resolution against is really set to minutes. this was around to the defects on. it was passed on the 23rd of december 2016. so head on government was in, in a very, very difficult position with an attorney, yahoo and his group and they understand 100 percent how extreme he is. and his group on his local politics is,

i don't think they genuinely agree with it. the problem now is that the, the build up to a domestic connections. they have to satisfy these regular. i'll be back in washington and it's taking all these uh, positions. i suspect when it comes to promoting the property. and kinda that will vote against that is an ocean and but the majority of the countries and i hope many of you can countries will come in support of that is working with the amendments that what introducing around that to us. so thank you very much indeed again, gentle and stay with us because we're going to be having more coverage of the un special session. but i want to bring in another story. these are the army has accusing how most of using the infrastructure of the biggest hospital in gauze. i'll shift for what it calls terrorist activities. we're going to go to sort of how that was life or isn't occupied east jerusalem. what more do we know about these allegations as well? the is run, is right, the army spokesman release. the statement accusing him us of using l. shift the

hospital, the biggest hospital in gaza as it's central combined. it's basically its head quota a little bit. so peroration, it's a big accusation to make to say that there are these tunnels. he said the on denise the hospital and even brought out the video and they've released this video, the 3 the video that's been put together to prove to the wells. and i guess the international community, so how mouse is using hospitals, not just this one, but across garza and. and that was using the paper showing me for the slightly special session which is being held on guys at the moment. i apologize for interrupting the european union on bassett or to the un off school is going to be speaking. we're going to listen in donio, montenegro, albania, ukraine republic among dover, and dora, monaco and submarine of mr. president, colleagues,

some of the find them of the, and the name of god at the mercy put the compassion us mr. president. let me you that we are on our says for the statement that the birth by monday tanya, on behalf of the or i see members moves, jordan on behalf of the a group of and on man on behalf of g. c. c members or the seasonal i use my food was the president. i me at the of sense the to thank you for the assumption of the dentist such as emergency session of the toner assembly session. that is going to be in, in getting the inside of that to cause us perfect conditions of the consensus faced by the city and people as a result of this military,

disproportionate blanche campaign against them by it's right on the page. and you forces you losing a lot of these ticket and paying for the conditions of the and following, but the answer, let's give it a pleasant cause. that's a good time since i've so busy as children, women and other d, i could look. so who was specially hospitalized at whose shelters and infrastructure are right? and i used to be decided that this does not create on the humanitarian catastrophe, but have also dire consequences and say pick cushions to the security of the region . and the way that we have clearly gone down the targeting of the videos by any part of a level. like you look the we called a ford and she's tired stuff. the black people should lift weight loss. and do you mean to lift off the seats that at least of the hostages, that you can provide humanitarian assistance as more to those fx that we also con them up in july that attends,

as far as the statement of police has of collective punishment against that population and gaza and you would think the salvation of 70 as as a weather in afford the prevention of access under liberty of united states to simply as or depriving them of the basic noun, life saving basic. it's the manual with the ephram is that our priority is to work for peace and coal for compliance with international conferences. and how do you see, and that's what shows the kind of crisis is that, is that the failure of the national community to end the documentation and implement the 2 state solution. the silence in the face of the system. it is ready to practice with it over the 570 years, or even recently is what's left with the, the 10 to the cutting crisis. read. it's the only one i go off the possibility of a spill over. i mean, that's called the bank and the bank with the 2nd of all the people that agent and

international peace and security was set for the president and light of the seats, the kids and the displacement and the failure of the international community. either this dave to call for a cease fire and allow the entry of necessary humanitarian aid. we express how you can done with this content regarding the double standards, the exhibit t and addressing this crisis. and we teach express our deeply exec, regarding this hesitation, to support that of the 1st 10 young people to live a dignified life or to condemn 2nd god. and how many tarion tries to do that. they are living on to mr. president and you will need to be safe guarding international peace and security is at the heart of the work of this organization. today we see that organizations today is to undertake it's important drawers with all the delays . you can find the solution that addresses this crisis and in light of the ongoing

is right and the violations of international conventions including the international monetary envelope. this undermines the trust and confidence in 3rd less than those mechanisms the credibility of those who defend them. after this with me and adversely impact, our capacity, the to safeguard international peace and security. i the touch of justice and the balance normally what i should not be done as to looking at things from one perspective. when i'm here, i would like us to the activities, let's say you and secretary candidates mention the fact is important to acknowledge that those attacks did not come from nowhere were not the result of a vacuum of them, but it's been and people had suffered from it's triangular thing, occupation for 66 years until the time has come for an organization to undertake and performance responsibilities. and it's supposed to. but it is what which it was established for the international community to take

a firm serious position and the beginning of the defense. specifically is lift the seeds and is for the prompt entry of humanitarian and relieve women and age in terms of food and water and medicine. william to prevent further excessive ration of the tragedy. i would prevent a spill over of that conflict, undermining the international and a good, you know, the security itself. was that president, we are, it was for the you for making or f as in communication with the brother, the in front of the countries to find an effective and practical and from the solution that would stop that bloodshed and put an end to this escalation. and we have an end to the ongoing, an escalating psychos assignments and that is, and we worked for you, but the future for our region do the forward. but and so, and so i piece of stability and development really. and today's our to mom and that's a push on that piece process forward in accordance with security council resolution

that i mean. and the other piece that initiative that aimed at findings from a test, uncomfortably sensitive, settles the establishment of an independent palestinian date on the 1967 board that was to ship the with is to use them as capital in the money that that's what the allies 50 please stability and prosperity for the oil. and then conclusion was the president's record of the member states to close posit and support the draft resolution submitted today, which 60 to serve the best interest of international peace and security. thank you for your efforts. i thank the distinguished representative of saudi arabia for his statement, and i now give the flaw to the distinguished representative of my top the
