in attempting to put out the fires, so or the hush and was giving us all the, all the context around that this less than 24 hours before his block chief house on this roller is that to speak uh from uh, living on tomorrow. so we will, um i see you're still with me. okay, so that's the theme. it is now $1600.00 gmc, it's 6 pm where you are. so here will be joining us just now. can you just recap what has happened in the last hour or so less than that, where you are for people who are joining us now. us both with thoughts with an impact and carry option one on the is really side of the after the code for fun. briggs, masses, miniature, we can get 11 on announce launching 12 rockets to watch the northern towns and cities in israel. now, as you are showing on the, on the screen the has an impact may be several impacts. now we don't have

a clear picture of a number of casualties, whether that or casualties, especially that is ready ami. over the past week, i've announced this area as a, i didn't minutes we as you on off many people to the know this is one second thing which was very significant has been like using explosives and explosive late in drones. and talking is rarely positions in solid living on a day on the cell 7 and border. this was significant because it is the 1st time that this element enters the front line between 11 and then is also off of this whole context of rock. it's the 7 on the rock, it's launched today to watch separate on positions. maybe 6 launches to watch 6 locations on the is really board. i try putting one here where we are in the court on the sounds were really a huge different from the ones before. and we didn't really, really see any kind of in deception. this is another thing also there's an issue

that is, is that you'd be taking into consideration as you were saying, the fellows going to speak to model. also we have 3 of the new civilians who had killed over the past 48 hours. now you are mentioning the gotcha mona impact we ought to take into consideration. this varies have been this really ministry has been a head think several of the residential homes here in lebanon. so does several live in these houses that do i hit on the board? the mason job done with the night, the shop where the shop. so we're talking about several places. so this also could be part of the whole equation of the bigger equation. and as we said to, to model and i felt i was going to spin the seller is going to put the price tag on all this. the alley. i'm just going to run our viewers through the pictures. we have 2 sources of pictures right now. it's a 16 gmc 1800 in local, in the region. what you're seeing were pictures from a very short while ago, after a rocket attack from mazda of elk, a sun brigade,

the lebanese base wing of the august sun brigade. and what you're seeing now is the live picture of that area in the carry out shimoda, northern israel. so the fire has now been put out. that's what it looks like. life right now. the fire has been put out and now we're getting a clear, a sense of where those rockets hit. it was clearly some kind of commercial urban area. you see civilian cars that were hit that were on fire. you see the 1st responders, the firefighters that are on the scene that have now a successfully put out the fire, and that's the aftermath and top right of your screen is what moments ago was still happening when the fire was still burning. ali before we move on from this. so again, her son, this are all of the leader of his beloved speaks, tomorrow he has not spoken directly or correct me if i'm wrong on this, but he hasn't spoken publicly addressed the nation. and i should say the region since the beginning of this conflict, correct? yeah, that's right. it's been more than $2526.00 days since the beginning of this conflict,

the fellows been silent and was silence. was described as suspicious because everyone was waiting for one or 2 for to draw that i'd lies from the beginning. what seems not from just had this a decision to keep the situation going on towards accumulation. just as we are saying, it's not. it's not a coincidence that 24 hours before he speaks, the front line is heating up. this rate, his beloved, is using kind of different elements, different weapons, how masses using maybe stronger miss sites from the east side of the border. so this is just kind of setting the scene here and setting the scene in order to say, well, now we've done all this, and now we are on the maybe on the verge, or this is this threshold for a new level. and you face each of these fighting groups, and you named

a number of them that are active on the 11 east side of the board, or whether it's his blog, whether it's the hum us a mazda is military wing. as long as you have military wing, you named another as well. each of these military groups have their own measure forces. yes, absolutely. they have their own strategic considerations. in on balance. do we assess? do experts assess that? hezbollah is keen to open a full scale war, or not at the moment as well. it's clear to settle. this is going to be a long water efficient. at least this is what we can say as observers, the report, as we're covering this war, it's going to be a long war of attrition. just in case though, as it's been said, that the drugs that there's going to be along with, because this is, this is kind of organically link. and with these groups functioning here in cells to them or not, no one can function in south lebanon without has will last consent. and no one can

function away from his blogs on bread. so that is a clear on brenda here and a please. that is that kind of analysis, that all these actions are choreograph. so whoever is doing something is called the nice thing with the other side. and the, and this whole switch off escalation is kind of setting the scene on drawing the big picture and cause bigger picture, his name dot said, but i think another thing i knew we had this discussion before that on a signal is being sent from the signal cents to the is read is on one side, and that is the signal sent to the international community to the united states in precise and specific. no, this is the 1st time so that, that's the city and uh groups are functioning from soft living. and since 1980 to 1982 is right, invaded living on, in order to expose the palestinian resistance from lebanon. and the time the piano was here, and they were, they left to tanisha. and since then,

there were only dominions, mostly lebanese groups, functioning from the lebanese border, except for some a, some cases. now, this is the 1st time their functioning completely open. everyone knows about them and on the 1st beloved umbrella. so it's a picture of an axis of a lot. you're on the palestinian groups, whoever is with them. and this actually is that they call the access of resistance, is signaling message that that is a possibility of why the conflict in case allies office read didn't offers from continuing to mix water on gus. so where does this have a ears to listen only to in full on definitely this is another question because you know, sometimes with flux contain situation contain tension as the 111 on things might slide gradually and it's sliding graduated even if it's also calculated sliding and we can see that if we calculate the escalation rules of engagement are being

updated on daily basis. so if husband law is send in focus, or how much or whatever, or as well as using can you elements, new weapons is right, is also doing the same thing as what is now using water plays at the beginning, there were no use or for plays. now is read is using them extensively. it's using george excel extensively as well. i use it stalls drones for the 1st time, but we wouldn't be surprised to see it as well. i using more and more drones, especially with a lot of allegations through a lot of supply and washer with, with drones, explosive leading drones. so why not says well having such and drones like the shy heads and then 11 on i'm being launched. what says read. so it's, it's actually a big question here and everyone actually is, is in the states of, of a one that, inc, i'm questioning and concerns a higher, especially for people living on the border. it's not an easy situation to be. we are now in a bought a village. so just like 2 feet, only those behind me is,

is really position at any time to is ready is all shunning. we can see the show of funding in this space between us and it is really positions that's within the 2 people meet the steps. so it's not that easy situation. we are journalists, we have to do with us. what for, nor amount of residents, for farmers, for shepherds, they can't do that. i mean, the country that's going to a lot of the comic hardships and people who are bankrupt government that's bankrupt . that is a very big question over the, you know, how people are going to cope with this situation. so absolutely look what you're describing, what you say makes a lot of sense only when people on both sides of the board or you know, who would, would like to lead their normal lives. and that has become increasingly if not totally impossible, with everything that we've been seeing over the last 3 weeks. i think the key word in what you said was the calculated sliding part. and that's why every day you're explaining to us, you know what we're looking at and what it means and doesn't mean escalation or

does it mean that it's this weird kind of status quote that we've been seeing for 3 weeks? i'll be thank you so much for all that context. all those explanations, i'm going to take it now to alan fisher, who is live for us from occupied east jerusalem allen. we've been looking at the pictures from a direct hit from how mazda is military wing on the is really town of carry out shimoda. what more can you tell us on your end as well as these are, these have just in the last few minutes confirmed that there were 2 injuries, they both seem to be minor injuries. remember carry out some one. it was one of the communities that was essentially evacuated. several days ago they moved the people out of the tones close to the border just in case of a tax like this be affiliated. we have said that they are prepared for this sort of thing. and that is why they move people away. there is a buffer zone of about 4 or 5 kilometers from the liberties for the into is really no one is essentially a load in there. there's a few people who have got big reasons why they should be in at that point. that is

why after a strike of this kind, you're talking about just to enjoy it. and so these really is what prepared for this. they were prepared to fight on a 2nd front, natalie and we were talking about until the blinking and how we spent 8 days in the region. one of the things that he was working on was to try and make sure that this conflict didn't expand and do what, where that having come us and living, and also having as bella and lebanon, i'm once you get tax. that was always a possibility. so they were actually until the blinking was hunting others to, to remain calm and try not to engage in a situation that could exploit the situation. so just to recap what we're getting from the, as early as in the last few minutes to into it and can be sure more of it. remember, a large chunk of the area around there, including kids, yet simona has by and large, been evacuated, and the people moved out of the area in case of attacks like this. absolutely, alan fish and thanks for completing everything we know about this attack coming

from the liberty side of the border specifically from us is cosign brigade. thank you very much ellen. i want to take us back to gaza now because it's the largest refugee camp. jamalia has been attacked for the 3rd day in a row. this time the target was near a un affiliated one school. the abu has same school was housing thousands of displaced people when the strike happened in the un human rights office says that repeated a tax on job aliya could amount to a war crime. the that is really frustrating because also killed 15 people at the boot age refugee camp. the area had already been reduced to rubble and was attacked while palestinians were trying to recover their loved ones. our correspondent human side joins us on the phone from garza city for the very latest. what's happening, where you are now in the gaza city, you'll know an award. look, just

a short preamble before you answer these really ground forces, say that they have now reached the outskirts of gauze, a city. so i'm wondering what it's like inside the city for you. your family and the other residents is well inside the city. now it's very intense because the yes, so it'd be, is really forced is the, there are confrontation in the north east part of does the city, sorry northwest to go to the city to swear. a shot that refugee camp is. and in the south of kansas city, both at the same part they in full treated with search tanks for the past 2 days from the law had been treat that's from almost a close to a bridge in the central park. it's called the city and that's where they have been coming to the south of gauze, the city where the confrontations have been taking place for a 2 violent days in

a row now above the sea. because the city there is a lot of ongoing bombardments all the time. now these confrontations are always accompanied with the air strikes the tank shells, gum boats from the sea. and even now we're hearing a lot of machine guns because of the confrontations that are taking place. in several areas in the north, west, in the shop and is cut down the neighborhood of the neighborhood, all these areas in the northwest and here in the south as far as that goes to city . that's where it's turned in how towers are. and depending on how a neighborhood is, and that's where the also, the confrontations are or violent traits are taking place. as you can hear now, the rates have never stopped, but they do intensify a lot during the evening and night hours off every day. what

do you know, and what can you tell us about how, how much are fighting the is really ground troops at the moment as well. was seeing videos yesterday that so cassandra gates has posted on their channel on tele brown for the for assessing fire on a number of the retreat is really no tree vehicle. and also they posted before the videos on these targeting all the, uh, it's some ease really soldiers best where in of, that's where i ambushed in uh, the north west area of the guys. uh and uh they, they post uh such a video that to show their their computations that how they're taking place. we've also heard from these really low trade that there are injuries and that they have obtained losses in their confrontations. all cities really be has been stated that

the confrontations are very tough and they're very violent with their n b. some of the soldiers have been speaking about their experience in these competition. now we're, we're also always hearing the exchange of fire between a d, a in terms of the confrontations, especially at night when it should take mainly an anti tank mess files that are required constantly by the policy of fighters in gaza here uh on the tanks that are showing all the time while these confrontations are taking place. so you know, side reporting from inside gaza city. thank you very much. i want to take a look at the map. this is all going to help us understand where this is all happening and where the fighting is coming from. so israel is with a treat, says it's nearing the outskirts of gauze, the city from multiple positions around the besieged territory. raids from the air

and land have intensified these of cause devastation across much of northern garza where the is really military told civilians to leave. but also in the south where they were told to go. a land and air forces have now been joined by a tax from the see. israel has maintained the naval blockade of the region for many years. now ground forces are moving deeper into northern gaza. is really army says it's finding prolonged, baffles against a moss which is responding with miss silas. explosive devices and grenades will get you that map a little later. the humanitarian situation in gaza remains critical as residents are dealing with food and water shortages, while hospitals are ceasing to function because they're running out of fuel for generators. the palestinian health industry says the indonesian hospital near the job of the account no longer has a fully functioning generator. so they're operating off the backup generator, which has limited power, ventilation in the hospital has stopped. and the distribution of medical oxygen has also stopped the only cancer treatment hospital in gaza is also out of service

after it ran out of fuel on wednesday. well, earlier today spokesman suggests his health industry gave this update on the number of people killed in gaza, injured and missing under the rubble of 10 or 15. but we received a for the not the alarm for 2600 open reports for missing, including 1150, turned in the missing or vetted under the debris. welcome. there's a to 2 page and forces violations again is made to con facility. is that as long as it in 155 bits of mind, that medical for them as soon as 125, i'm building so they can. so this slide 105, so maybe they can facilities where to possibly damage that at the and 16 hospital, i would say that the 2 basic and kids are now totally out of operation on either by direct starting or as

a result of the absence of feeling the man was going to target was whom was in han units and gaza power q or near a lesser hospital. and we just for the almost half the hospital is in gauze, it has stopped working. now, what's happening it on us are and how are they operating at this out? yes, uh, the medical conditions and olga hospitals, uh, as a, as really deteriorating, as they are running low medical supplies. and even if you uh as well, depending on using a minor generates as off the run house, if you will, the full main dinner rates, as in the majority of guys of hospitals. now, i must have hospital considered to be the main hospitals that provides a treatment for a 100 thousands of palestinians who are was the only thing in the northern areas, guns this trip. now as the number has doubled off to the back to ation of the of the residents from the another in areas of the gaza strip to the southern areas where they are residing and beaten the onto the hospital. there was more of much

pressure on the medical team in order to provide to get treatments for the wounded people. now, as you can clearly see at the ground, now people are originally thinking the onto the hospital. they are just running low for certain foods and even what the supplies, medical teens are trying to work within the limited medical supplies in order to keep providing a treatment, the art conducting operations and surgeries without having any kind from emphases. yet as well as they are full so. 1 sometimes when there is an intensity level is very important, they are forced to carry out. remember to carry out musical operations only in order to keep able to. 1 to provide the treatment of dirt to the surgeon, number of victims and even want to people. now the situation here is really true rating as even every single human element is, is really the best thing in this house. if the goal is to strip similarly to the northern have central areas of the territory, there are a couple of whom importing from hun eunice just next to another hospital in the

southern end of the gaza strip. thank you very much for that update tart. i want to go back to northern israel, in fact the, the living on israel border area and what we just so happened there in the last 40 minutes or so. that breaking news that we were bringing you a short time ago about a serious escalation on the border between the israel and 711 on dozens of rockets fired at the town to carry out shimoda settlement and its surroundings. well, we guess honda is a retired lebanese general and a strategic analyst. you are joining us from being rude, sir. we appreciate the scramble to come up, lie for us at such short notice. i, we wanted to ask you for your assessment of what we saw. the pictures of course, are quite dramatic. you see cars on fire and carry out shimoda. you see the, the 1st responders carry out your motor had been mostly evacuated door to people lightly injured. what meaning do you ascribe to this weird, how do you fit this into the wider picture? or i think that's what i've seen that i don't think the rules of

engagement. i like to be changing today the, the changes are in intensity. you know, at the bottom it's on both sides as well as the means use the 1st time we see a suicide. drones used, i gave a command just got sold for the idea of it being and sure about 5. so this is like, it may just change model over the depth of the bottom of the and really hitting that. a supplements like, uh, can you actual know what all are in addition to this? we can see that a, do you know, who is really cute? think all of this is not the only has been a lot we are seeing, you know, different probably seen in a fraction and you know, a lot of the same data pub disability. so i've seen like, look, escalation may be, and this like analysis may be waiting for for tomorrow, for safe on the fall of speech because i could point to 6.7 days of absence and

with 50 monitors killed the from his general party. he has to come and say, what would be the picture after what would be the picture after he instructed in god's us a t. i may be hitting the guys or how much. so maybe want to kind of go for the future. you know, the uh, roadmap for the future, i guess. so maybe it's like a bit of punishment. yeah. why hasn't the smallest spoken for 27 days? and also the same question to you that i asked or corresponded to earlier is what will you be listening for in that speech? specifically? i think he's going to really explain the strategic choices that, that are made by the access of his expense and life as below the goal. he wanted that early in order prior to this, to destroy own upstairs where it is not pretty but dissipating. though he lost like 5065 to 50, the monitors model over. he wants to deliver it. i think that destination and does

is directly related to destination and 11 on model overdue, lot of seeing model, but older, the unity of the say that there's between what's from the human coming if i'm serious, i me and i and the from 11 on. but i think that we go into the, the most, i mean, i escalated, it shouldn't get it, it goes into a more escalation. but i think it's so far, it's like sort of afford why? because, well, i'm not seeing, you know, that the book says are working. i see what that, you know, the, the mazda, like it on, and do you like the super familiar guy directly? i'll leave you, come back to what's going on on the, on the, on the does a that's interesting. so you're seeing, you're seeing escalation of some sort, but something short of a full blown war by has blah and, and why is that? is that because you think has below just doesn't have, isn't incentivized to open the full war against israel right now. what would be the

reason for either going to war, knock before the decision to go to war? i think it's in the. 3 it understands mode over if you go on to like good on as an option to the player. they are really calculating and waiting what's gonna happen in, in gaza. if this rate is, wouldn't really destroyed how much thought the lee, this is something different and model over if this lady is, will not be able to go into because i'm really destroyed from us. i mean, how much one's because i'm us was if it didn't to was i'm history news is if it didn't to him. so we will have the same situation as in 2006. i mean, you are really starting to come off, but you can look to you start how much more over you would be. and i mean, it would be immersed in this guy. those things like a pro active, a pro, connected with the culture. and you have like in terms of political lead the problem and done this for the digit problem and turn in, that is probably

a model of it and done and done the economic problem add a little for a big one. you know, i'm going to remember what you just said, israel lose. if it doesn't win home us wins. if it doesn't lose, i remember that one. yeah. that we got a ton, a retired lebanese general. thank you so much again for the scramble to join us live on such short notice. we appreciate it. you're welcome. you're welcome. bye. or since the war on gaza began more than 3 weeks ago, rights groups have reported an increase in attacks against palestinians in the occupied westbank. earlier dozens of israeli settlers set fire to shops and cars owned by palestinians in de shut off west of nablus. one palestinian was reportedly been wounded, is really settlements or illegal under international law. charles strauss, but it has the latest from dish or off. it was this morning where we began to see circulating on social media

a photograph of an up to an gray vehicle. the great call ways to people in it seemingly who are initially reported as being soldiers, hooping kill, but certainly they were wearing green clothing suggesting that they would have made a tray. we call confirmed that they wouldn't be inconceivable if indeed they was set close. he's paying the pool, which he didn't the as rainy as really media the one of those people. one of those men has a subsequently died. i suppose it was about an hour, 2 hours off to that where we started hearing lines drop. 2 out is right, the settlers coming down from just above it will not have leveraged these right. the settlement literally is riley military kept close by to it next door. in fact, we heard reports of settlers coming into this town and attacking local properties, burning calls, which are seen pictures of attacking homes also. and the situation was pretty much was beginning to get out of control. we've seen pictures of smoke

rising from this town as well. we understand that those fires and not the tank property able to find from the type, probity of supp subsequently being extinguished. but there was also a very interesting pictures of these really military soldiers actually fighting with settle is trying to escape the settlers back because of course, the charge normally amongst palestinians. and this is true. and so because we have seen it with our own eyes on multiple occasions, any product city will tell you that usually the ami basically stay back and they accuse the all me of basically protecting the settlers in attacks like this. there's no lit up in the occupied westbank, at least for palestinians have been killed by is really forces at least 60 palestinians have been detained from several towns during overnight. res. still ahead on elsie's 0. defendants of the matter. we'll look at the history of gaza and how we got to the current crisis.

the the brought to you by visit capital has been a long time coming, but i think we may, will see some way to add some cool web eventually pushing into something positive chart or the movement. the stick a cloud the that whether that's the know, if they got the system spinning out of ongoing. yeah, it will drift its way for the east with a feeling some right. and some snow behind that into the far east of russia. so with the weather stretching down across the whole chi to coming right down across central areas of the korean peninsula, i need to see how it runs across the yellow sea into central china. we have 20 i celsius on friday. come saturday. is there a 17 degrees? it will be it friday, saturday, but shy? was long specified. never really too far away. that was a weather pushing

a little further south, which as well for the southeast it does stay dry, warm sunshine in hong kong at around $29.00. degrees celsius. so i'm showing a shower as meanwhile across the good parts of the southeast asia. some live the showers there into the philippines, big down pools, just around the gulf of thailand, and looking as a wet to whether to into that western side or bonia. whether he's making his way across for lanka, into southern parts of india, some heavy a show is now pushing into under the dash. and you can see how that went by the runs right up into addition. this because for the next couple of days the weather brought to you by visit, cut these off, choose solutions that gives us no hope for future that we have to find creative solutions, not just turn our backs. i don't think that has a number. think about it as a person in yourself and that person's shoes. so as you can see for this

is my us, my life, or at least in my life, those dentures. we want, we want the patient reward because the women and my country deadlocks, we we are not denies all do we are human beings and deserves to be treated equally. we are walking in their footsteps, our officers whatever has been done before, can be done as long as a human being is doing it. you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see. the vision is keywords you to the the

if you're watching 0 reminder of our headlines this hour, there's been a serious escalation on the border between israel and 711 on dozens of rockets have been fired at the town of carry out shimoda settlement and its surroundings for the 9000 palestinians have been killed in gaza after 27 days of war on thursday. the my guys, the refugee camp in central guns that was targeted as was the largest refugee camp in the north. the java lea accounts has been hit for a 3rd consecutive day. the un human rights office as a hero strikes on the job aliyah camp could amount to a war crime. the palestinian health ministry and gaza says the indonesian, the hospital near the job of the account no longer has a fully functioning generator. they are working off the backup generator. but the ventilation and the distribution of the distribution of medical oxygen has stopped . an air strike has destroyed houses in the age refugee camp. some 15 bodies have been pulled from the rubble shelves. a quote sent us this

report from the camp in the heart of casa a new frequency model. but i never had 11. i can see much is that all i saw here that we witnessed the same scenes is really both planes pull down tenants. at least an explosive submit sign for on the on the residential areas. unsuspecting innocent civilians sheltering in the homes of the to and the home. okay. yeah, i'm not, no, we're not the okay. i'm gonna put it. this is parade refugee camp in the home to the gaza strip. densely populated buildings crammed on top of each other. most of the buildings have shanties of this built in bricks and cement. oh, totally destroyed, leveled to the ground. this deep crate, t c. and i was once a building that i have to come up with time left in the right to minutes and can see the entire areas in groupings on one of these simple residential area we've calendar to find more than a 1000 missiles. let me just see as to what we're now smith any and see what's up and we'll play you. i'm going to let you in. it was home to innocent civilians in the heart of a refuge account. all civilians who in the area would kill. yeah,

but no survivors for groceries as strikes does not allow me for lucky shouldn't pop up. and as we speak we'll plains and drones still hovering on the back end quarterly. she saw, i saw a good wife family and i was sitting at home. all of a sudden we heard a huge explosion and everything was flying around. we could not see anything but dustin smart that, that was my home. oh no, i'm totally. and really that's all i do not know what to say, we'll help the you've done the cannot even be compared to an earthquake. this is mass engine. i mean the whole air is turned upside down in a 2nd degree. we thank god and these are wrong. i'm that a lot. i mean, but don't tell me what are you doing? what are you looking for as i am searching, so my sister had to jump out of get the data from the i can only see ruins. how can you recognize your home from all this rubble on the model? good, let me know what's going on on what can i recognize? some of the building standing over the winter. we found a survivor. but my sister,

a nice of buried underneath may. they rest in peace and i mean for cause it's mean who has the last, what it didn't in model or been a, it's much is this is along with all that to ready and we are helpless. we cannot remove heavy concrete. they've got to like, even if we find them, they must be dead. now, could i make good? accept them as nice and then i'll sometimes of all we have to size. i'm the let them and 100 and a sort of that extra badly. and the full audio, the pictures of the same every time there's a plumbing them destroying neighborhoods and killing innocent people through the middle of, of the united nations rights office says is really air attacks on guns is jabante, a refugee camp could be a war crime. the camp was hit by a mis silent tuesday, leaving a huge crater and hit again on wednesday. how about how bar has the details? via tackle this densely populated record, you come to become a turning point in the war on gaza. the provides of is ready, bombardment of residential areas has drawn global condemnation. the un humor

white's office says it has serious concerns that these disproportionate attacks that could amount to will crimes. the international criminal course chief prosecute to korean hon faces driving costs to bring those who committed atrocities to adjust this. but that won't be an easy task. it is quite clear that the is ready to pass and i'll start conflict device. uh, define has divided well continues to, to divide the world. but i think that the only way to, to address that is to ensure that there is accountability on all sides. the wells on the permanent court, the i c, c has a mandate to investigate full main crimes genocide or the mass extermination of a particular ethnic group to crimes against humanity. the widespread or systematic attack on

a particular civilian population. will crimes include among many of us the will for killing torture in human treatment or a law for the protection. and finally, the crime of aggression when a state attacks the sovereignty integrity or independence of another state. i do think that the getting side. ready tension is there, but certainly there a war crime is, at least on the face of it. the indiscriminate bombing, the style of ation, the i c. c has to have that. how mass attack on october, the 7th, and is way, is more on gaza for on to get some jurisdiction, but is red is not a polity to the room statute. they stablish the i, c, c in 2002 into 1021. these where the government refused to go right with the i c. c. when it was planning to investigate possible will crimes committed by as well

as the okay, by, by the city and tired with raise as long as countries are willing to not hold israel uncomfortable. and i, i would point the critically to the united states and united kingdom in the, in the current conflict. so, it makes, it gives israel all kinds of political space to be able to make his own military and political decisions. even though they are clear violations of international law, as is ready as twice says across guys, a civilian casualties, our own device, human rights activists via the i c. c. why is that use of political and regional bias? may fail to deliver just is for the policy is especially when is when it has worked political and military backing from the us and mainly major western countries, especially about about a i just the are the top you and the human rights official has resigned slicing the agencies handling of the warrant balancer and his resignation letter craig keyboard

described israel's actions as the textbook genocide. he spoke to elsie rose. gabriel elizondo is usually the most difficult part of proving, genocide is content because there has to be an intention uh to destroy and whole or in part a particular group. in this case, the intent by his reading leaders has been so explicitly stated and publicly stated by the prime minister, by the president, by senior cabinet ministers, by military leaders. that, that is an easy case to make it on the public record. but it's important that we start using the language that the law sets out, just as you know in recent terms, every major international human rights organization is really human rights organizations, palestinian him rights organizations, united nations, human rights mechanisms. independent mechanisms have found that the situation in israel and palestine amounts to the crime of apartheid un needs to get used to

addressing these particular violations. just as we have another situation. when we asked the secretary general and his office about genocide, he won't use that term. he says in previous secretary generals have said that that is for courts to decide. do you think that the secretary general should start using the term genocide when it comes to what we're seeing happening in gaza? if we can allege that we see war crimes, crimes against humanity, as we have often done, there's no reason to exclude where we see very strong evidence, the possibility of genocide being committed. and i think you're going to be sharing that term more and more in connection with what we're witnessing in gaza. but institutions of course, have to go through the necessary steps before they can make that pronouncements. i as of today i am an independent citizen, not carrying the institution on my shoulders, and i feel quite confident human rights lawyer in saying that what i see unfolding in gaza and beyond is genocide. joe biden has recently said that after this

conflict is over, we need to get back to a 2 state solution in your letter. you say the manager of a 2 state solution has become and i quote, an open joke in the corners of the united nations where we are sitting right now. is it really an open joke within the quarters of the united nations? excellent. and it has been for quite a long time. if you ask somebody in their official capacity about the 2 state solution, they will repeat that phrase you over and over again as the official positions united nations. indeed, that is the official position of the united states. but nobody who follows the circumstances, either from the political side or from the human rights side, believe one that the 2 state solution is possible anymore. there's nothing left for a palestinian state that would be sustainable or just or we're possible in any respect and everyone knows that. and secondly, that solution never dealt with the problem of the fundamental human rights of

palestinians. so for example, it would leave them a 2nd class citizens without full human rights inside the green light inside what it's now is real proper. and so when people are not talking from official talking points, you're increasingly about the one state solution. and what that means is beginning to advocate for the principal of the quality of human rights. instead of these old political taglines. that would mean the state in which you have equal rights for christians, muslims, and jews. based upon human rights. and based upon the rule of law, it is what we call for in every other circumstance around the world. and the question is, why is the united nations not calling for that in israel palestine as well as the more than 2000000 people living in gauze at 1700000 of them or refugees, they live in and around. 8 camps operated by the united nations or challenges has more on that lot. pay all the children, grandchildren, great grandchildren,

available 3 quarters of a century past. with each new generation, the frequently meets its own violence off the shock. so echoes of that will be a descendants of the maxwell catastrophe. what palestinians called in 1940 a conflict that led to the creation of israel. as palestinians fled over expelled by is ready forces to neighboring countries. thousands found themselves in the gaza strip, then controlled by the egyptian army fast refugee stayed in mosques, homes, barracks and tents. but with time and population increases, causes h. u. n. run comes developed into dense urban areas. 1948 created the gaza strip and it's refugee camps. 1967. turn them into what many of called open air prisons. he's rails victory, and the 6 day arab is ready. we'll left it in a dominant position and gaza. these teresa live in the west bank became occupied

territories. it's often palestinian civilians who saw for the most in israel is a tax. israel blames palmed pad a city in groups such as how mass for the violence life the guns is refugees, isn't on slows of formidable challenges, blockades, crowding insufficient voice or power and health care, poverty, psychological trauma, the failures of a friendship palestinian authority. and of course, the terrible toll of age, rails bombs and missiles full in a tiny strip of land now facing its most sustained attack in decades will reach highlands, how to 0. the one does that comes on the $100.00 and 6th anniversary of the bell for declaration, which changed the lives of palestinians forever. so some historical context around that. for centuries, the ottoman empire controlled palestine until it was conquered in 1917 by advancing

british troops during the 1st world war. the british foreign secretary arthur balfour wrote letter to a prominent member of the british jewish community, saying his government was in favor of quote, the establishment in palestine of a national home for the jewish people. at the time, only 8 percent of palestine population was jewish. the letter also said, quote, nothing shall be done, which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non jewish communities in palestine. but after the war ended, in 1918, the newly created league of nations mandated palestine to british control with the language of the balfour declaration written into that british mandate. fast forward to 1948 after the 2nd world war british occupies left palestine. the newly formed united nations and declared the creation of the state of israel and more than 700000 palestinians lost their land in the ensuing war. vincent fema is

a trustee for the bell for project charity, which says its mission is to address that you case responsibility for peace and security in israel and palestine. ringback i believe that's on this $106.00, the anniversary of the alphabet division. that decoration is still alive because its impact is still with us. and it has led to conflict of the documents that you read out of a very short promise to the scientist leader in the okay, test your things it says hold on for the jewish people, but without prejudice to they sit with them and they just like right so non jewish people, which were the majority, as you said, britain's role in that time was i would say a policy of defeats the golf or project to try to do that. you mentioned around the trust a of

a has of websites with information objective information about the purchase role. we focus on prison. the website is about for project dot org. and one of my fellow trustees has written a book, which i commend to you. it was called a policy of deceit because britain promised the same land to the series of mecca before promising it to uh, the nature of this. i just mentioned that you. okay. and then during the mandate periods, the, the only consistent thing that britain did was effectively to prevent pablo started becoming an independent stage for as long as there was an arab understanding, the majority there. mean that's let's to conflict. and it gives britain a responsibility today to take the lead. i think up much as of people to try to ensure equality between israelis and palestinians with mutual security.

the idea that union actual security can be imposed by one people on another through the occupation. if wrong, and this being proved to be wrong, tragically, as we speak, the palestinians living outside gaza, or anxious and concerned about what's happening to their families. in addition to daily protests, many of trying to do what they can to help the people have gaza. but some of bins of old age of 8 reports from the jordanian capital a month before the war and government who was all smiles as he sold to some of the st. this is from does a look only jimenez and live in jordan like manufactured afternoons. he's lost both of those family members. as neighborhoods are being wiped out, a 130 members of his extended family have decided to move to different locations in gaza. so at least some of them survived. the latest is really bombings about how to

mt. what has been my aunt, who has killed it then? her 2 daughters. on the last we heard 13 of our cousins had been wounded. then we lost, still contact alone. we don't know whether the dead or alive ended. little watching the cognizant fold has pushed many people to donate. what the con, at this medicaid comp, the donating blood. this would be kept by blood banks in a month in hope that is relevant, allow in medical aid. um, how does she should this was a this is my blood a know if i know it will reach gaza alternate every day. it's the least we can do because we can't get there. we keep praying for them. if i donate and everyone donates, we can all make a difference our blood, our soul is for you. so that's what these are attempting to send you and resistance . the point of gives, gathering is to educate their children about the plight and have the jumping because of the turn around the for the,

the 3. and i am he because i left person and that just in the and we have to view it and just say that i'm the most hold on the sounds. do see this. he says this piece doesn't allow him to smile . understand humans here spend much of their time in sorrow and prayers. so i'm gonna be driving down to 0 a month. we're going to take a very quick break and when we come back on al jazeera, we'll have all the rest of the day is new is including process. and northern is gone, where a local is accused. the military of a heavy handed approach in its efforts to contain armed groups, the business like this to be sponsored by interlock tuck,

he's real estate consultant. the business legions to be sponsored by intellect. tuck, he's real estate consultant. the,

[000:00:00;00] the, so russia is revoking it's rad if occasion of a global nuclear test ban. president vladimir putin signed the bill into law on thursday. abandoning the landmark agreement, the trainee which was adopted in 1996, banned all nuclear explosions, including tests of nuclear weapons. you'll get shuffled out of alice's. yours must go, bureau correspondent explains what's behind the move. a verse explains that's um there is a situation now when aid needs to act and it's national interest and entrance interest of its people. so we're also hearing from my trim and over the russian stay

d motion said vs lo. house of parliament. so, but you stumbled in saying that to now it's the country. it was a me raw response to the actions of the united states, which had not right to fight these documents for 23 years. and the decision was made so late and the interest of a russian and the russian people and russia actually assigned and immediately around to find that tracy back in 199 to 6. and the interesting that countries like the united states, china, in israel, they did sign it back in 1996. but ever since have never arrived to find it. and countries like north korea and pakistan and india, they neither assigned it nor ratified it. so it basically uh with fast heard about the bushes designed to do so from present, letting me patient at the meeting of the voluntary club discussion to the, the missing of the, of all the discussion club back in october. so basically that was

a time when he announced that to the nuclear test ban treaty would be um, you may actually at take place. so basically that was quite alarming for me when across to washington. no. because even as we wanted to bring you other world news, we are being pulled back into the israel gods. a war. uh, let me bring up my canada from the white house. mike, this is what we're just learning. that's the secretary of state anthony blinking, who are we were saying earlier is traveling to is real tomorrow is going to urge the is really government to agree to brief sessions of fighting brief the sessions of military operations in gaza. that's the language i have. what more can you tell us and what do you know? yes, there is a lot of information floating out at the moment over the last hour or so. white house officials are saying precisely that that the secretary of state, when he arrives in israel, will put to the is ready prime minister,

a request for 3 stations of the hostilities as it is said to allow for 2 things to get to the cap. chipped people out at also to get to monetary and f as in now, the officials are saying that these pauses who about a terry impulses that ssl describes and they using the plural will be limited, limited by the duration and the location. but also very interestingly is, is that white house officials have repealed that president biden did. aussie is really prime minister for a pause in hostilities back on october the 20th to get out to americans who had been held captive. they all quoting that as an example that it can be done. and that's the secretary of state's efforts to get the gets ready prime minister to agree to these brief stations of possibility is something that does have a precedent. and so they are going to attempt to formalize this to allow, as i said,

to get the captives out and to get you monetary and supplies in mike as we speak, the u. s. has dual nationals in gaza. i'm not talking about the captive. i'm talking about policy and americans, we're in gaza and who wants to get out. we know that's been a priority for the us to help them get out through the roof of border crossing. and they also have obviously, americans were being held captive by. i'm us in gaza. those are those are twin priorities to the us at the moment. what do you have on that number of people who been able to get out of gaza and what the us is hoping to achieve on that front as well. the state department has said in recent days that it's actually focusing on those deal, palestinian american citizens. it's estimated that there are some full 100 of them . with the extended families, you're talking about a 1000 people according to the state department. now that says the state department is a priority, now the officials have been speaking here, do not mention this group. they are referring most specifically to those who being held captive. but no doubt,

this is something that's going to be brought into the discussions to allow those june a very good nationals along with other foreigners who have been trapped to effectively in gaza to get out across the border into egypt to do so, would require a cessation of hostilities, what we're not hearing is in particular areas at particular times in. 2 way is this any general ceasefire or even a last thing? pause for 2 minutes here in a to get in. that's going to be very specific. the requests being made by the secretary of state and the link as i said, to location and to duration. oh, my kind of reporting from the white house in washington dc. thank you very much for that update. mike. just before we break and come back at the top of the, our quick reminder of that breaking news story that we brought you earlier this hour. there's been a serious escalation on the border between israel and southern lebanon, and dozens of rockets have been fired at the talent of care. we ought to, mona,

the cold and the page to complete the useless at this time of war. the situation is so, but that is really police hardly responding to complaints made by palestinians itself, of violence levels, family and friends now joined the many of of thousands of palestinians who gave up hope for justice. long ago the, the december days saved. they had fired of a rush of rockets from lebanon into northern israel. 2 people were wounded. the card 0 venue is good to have you with us. this is elsa 0, live from the also coming up no end to the blood shed, no end to the destruction refugee camps for you and run school and residential
