9:03 pm
a new element in the picture here in south lebanon, which just emphasize the fact that situation is escalating, be contained escalation is widening, and we have a new elements getting good into it. now this really is retaliated by hitting several positions from the positions behind us here in the quote up to positions around in several areas in the west. and the weston and the eastern and central sectors of the border between is rose and driven on to this day was quite tense. also, at the beginning of this, they started with the announcement of 2 civilians killed vice ready fire. and within the past 48 hours, there's also another many skills to watch the town of y'all thought after drone had his motorcycle is 15 years old, p nature alley. i want to ask you about the an important potentially important
9:04 pm
event that takes place tomorrow, which is the speech that were expecting by his son, this raleigh leader of his belong. do you have any indication of what he's going to say? and if not, what will you be listening out for during that speech? or what sort of what we are seeing here on the, on the board that what we are seeing here on the front is a heating, is this fund that see, think off a just always before and i felt less speech. now everyone is waiting for us while i speech, especially with respect to the regional context and the regional situation. now we're seeing rockets being fired from young men from syria, from 11 on the situation in iraq or related to this war. and because of the main, what is happening drugs that with all these fonts are trying to relieve because of the pressure of this, this is what the, the, the, the being saying, know what we are expecting. we're expecting the for the law to draw. i create a framework for this struggle, this conflict,
9:05 pm
this fight also drawing from the red lines and keeping all the red lines vague and probably given the fact that are more of the beneath civilian skills and it's really retaliation and also residential areas being hit and houses being hit in several lebanese border villages, it's likely that the seller is going to put the price tag on each kind of hate. that is what he's going to do under the needs that he took his ali. thank you very much for that reporting there from the 711 on along the border area with israel. alan fisher now and you're in the occupied east, jerusalem. what more can you tell us? what information that you're getting on the is really side about that direct hit on carry out simona as well as the utilities are saying that 2 people were slightly injured when the attacks came in. you have to remember the carrier simona is part of a huge suite of the northern part of israel,
9:06 pm
that is essentially closed off the evacuated all the times and villages more than 40 settlements and times because they were worried about attacks coming from the north. so there is a buffer zone, about 6 kilometers into israel, where that are very few people in deep. there's a few people who do the essential works, essential maintenance and these places. but essentially, everyone else has been moved to accommodation in tel aviv and, and well away from there that we know as well. that the is really tv is covering the pictures from korea to mona, fairly extensively as you would expect. but of course, what we're seeing is really just a small portion of what is being happening in guys uh over the last $26.00 days or so. but it also re emphasizes the fact that israel is facing award on several fronts. they're fighting and guys, which we've talked about, obviously there is what's happening in the northwest. paula and the also have mass
9:07 pm
and lebanon. i don't remember just 2448 hours ago. there were the attacks that came from the who with these in yemen, 1st of all, the drawing that was shut out of the sky, but these really air force and then a missile that was intercepted by one of their missile systems. so it's just a reminder that was assigned to the blinking heads to the region to talk about how these came to stop this escalating. it seems to be exactly that. it is escalate to maybe not a huge, dangerous space at the moment. but every step is something that will consume the americans. okay, alan, thank you very much. look, we will come back to you throughout the hour because we also need to talk to you about what's on folding and gaza as well. as you mentioned, blinking he's coming to is real. we want to talk diplomacy with you as well a little later this hour. so we'll talk to you again. thank you very much. alan fisher. they're now united nations experts have called for a few minutes here in ceasefire. they say the time is running out the palestinians war at quote, a grave risk of genocide in the past few hours is really airstrikes and is really
9:08 pm
ill. strike is killed at least 15 people at the bull res refugee camp. the area had already been reduced to rubble and what was it was attacked while palestinians were trying to recover their loved ones for the north, the jamalia refugee camp was attacked for the 3rd day in a row. this time the target was near a un affiliated school. the boy same school was how the housing, thousands of displaced people when the strike happened. but you in human rights office says that repeated a tax on jamalia could amount to a war crime. the israel's military says it's nearing the outskirts of gauze and city from multiple positions raised from the air and land have intensified these of cause devastation across much of northern gauze or where the is really military told civilians to leave. but also in the south where they were told to go land and the air forces
9:09 pm
have now been joined by attacks from the see, israel has maintained a naval blockade of the region for many years. no ground forces are moving deeper into northern gaza. the is really army says it's fighting prolonged baffles against tomas which is responding with missiles, explosive devices and grenades. but even southern gaza, where people have been asked to evacuate, have come under, is really bombardment tower, a couple of whom is in han, eunice in the southern parts of the gaza strip. tell us what's happening in an around 100 units or more widely in the southern part of the street. yes. what is happening with the ground and the gaza stripe is on imaginable. no one could really of defects or even imagine what is happening with the ground in terms of the blow chips that is taking place against palestinians with civil useful on daily basis. every single hour, 10 children full as a is what a strikes continue to target. different residential neighborhoods, palestinians,
9:10 pm
hopeful that gets what it will just take about 2 weeks from another marius to god's district is up to the southern areas. meanwhile, they have been hit again as they are evacuating from the northern areas. so even don't list doctor this medical field was a donor list. are every way for every single class in develop spending community has been targeted by the is very ongoing strikes, more than 20000 buildings have been destroyed and with more than 200000 others have been partially done as we are talking about this big air prison where the bottom it says every hour is not till now. it's where palestinians are really desperate for the last hour. these without taxes destroyed this what a 2nd continues. and then a strike destroyed those into building. and i spent a in a shift with one neighborhood central, the gaza strip to so during the last couple of hours for a full year, you said the owner of the united nations squeeze has been also targeted hospitals also were targeting of the surrounding areas in order to force people to evacuate
9:11 pm
from the know there are no central areas of the territory and tell us where we are standing right now. to palestinians have been killed. our farm is to just be heading to the west and to have been targeted as well. so that really is, well, that tex continue as pumps and used to be useful. you did use that tax, but i understand what you're saying about the areas have been bombarded to force people. that's what you're reporting to evacuate from the north to the south. but are there roads? is there at least one way that is safe for them to? to do that. let's be clear with you that there isn't there any safe roads in the gaza strip? you are took, it goes, this trip has only to center roads that can link between the northern areas to the southern rear areas of the church. we start talking about the cost of line and so have you wrote it down? both roads are being bombarded even under the is very controlled right now. you are talking about different vehicles of fleet at the motivations have been also targeted for out there. evacuation from the northern areas to southern areas just before a couple of minutes. uh, resisting
9:12 pm
a simple call has been also attacked by the is really inclusive as they were evacuating and following the oldest of the occupation. now. meanwhile, people are complained with the oldest of the occupation and they are getting killed . now clearly, there was no any, please. there was no, any clear reason for that. residential houses or also have been bombarded. so even people that are really running low on food, that medical supplies and even moves. so they don't have any of the shows that they are afraid to for are going to be evacuated and we moved to the southern areas we're going to be bombarded like all the people who were bombarded before. so there are just glancing feet in the hops of pieces. the situation of the modern areas of central areas is really catastrophe. people are afraid to leave. so there we have no other choice just to remain to the house is waiting. being killed by the is when it, on the extracts, sorry, can the previous hours we've been describing how almost half of glasses, hospitals are now out of order, right. they, they can't function either fully or in part, mostly due to
9:13 pm
a lack of fuel. what's the situation at another hospital where you are just next to your position? yes, uh the uh no sir. hospitality but the hospital which we are fort costing from right now is a very overwhelmed and fluid with residents and patients. but we're really even evacuated from the houses to the, to the central areas of kind of, of the city this hospital, this really is running low in terms of medical supplies. and even if you're dependent on mine, that generates as, as the fuel has run out of, from the a main generates is also the black house, all the electricity. since the beginning of this while the fighting boxes, medical themes to do with the best in terms of approval, i think the treatment with the surging number of people who were really injured for an hour to another different injuries have been transported to the hospital. and sometimes by civil cause, no the to receive treatment. sometimes you also talk to us about the current condition. they are telling us that it's really deteriorating as the the, the trusted medical supplies and the maternity had been delivered. and that
9:14 pm
included medical supplies. is it still limited? you are talking about thousands of injuries, dart existing in the hospital, and they are receiving good treatment. sometimes they have preferences and times of dealing with the injuries lot. they take the evidence cases before and even hot surgery sometimes could be delays in order to, for example, to give a chance to be evacuated, to be just like to receive treatments. sorry cub was who of importing from han, eunice in the southern part of the gaza. strip thank you very much. i want to bring back in alan fisher. alan. what can you tell us about fuel? because israel so far has said no to fuel going into the gaza strip this for the last $27.00 days, right? ever since they impose, they total blockade on the strip? no food, no water, no fuel, no medicine. they've now they've said yes. in the intervening days they've said yes to food fuel, some medicines, and albeit and very small quantities. what about fuel a no fuel has gone in, of course,
9:15 pm
in any of the trucks that's been cleared from the vedic stock. these really saying that they were concerned that i'm us would use this to fuel their own operations and include fighting rockets towards israel. but in the last few hours we had from israel armies, chief of staff who said that they were monitoring the situation on the hospitals. and guys, a, she was slightly disingenuous when he said they've been saying that that about to run a fuel for the past week. and of course, as we've been hearing from the ground in guys that many of them actually have. but he said they were looking at getting fuel into guys. uh, and it would be monitor. so that the renewal we that how much would be able to access the fuel within that hour of him, seeing that less than an hour we had from the prime minister's office, they said no such plan had been agreed. so that suggests, but it's either something the until the blinking might be able to deliver when he comes here, or there is no way that there's fuel going in, in any of the, a trucks that to that the fairly on bus, the gemini said he would invite for the nations to send hospital ships to the
9:16 pm
gyptian port to treat the winded from the gaza. and we know that the french send a boat just last week, a ship last week to suggest that they would help support those who were possibly coming out of gas. and we know that the united states has one of your cock county and another on the way. and both of these are clicked with really advanced medical facilities, including states of the art operating theatres, which obviously they can't get access to engaged at the moment. so that might be something that we see develop over the coming days, but it's clear from the prime minister's office. but the idea of fuel guessing to guys as hospitals is a new board for the moment. now and thank you very much. i will ask you to stand by again because we must talk about diplomacy blinking is coming to his real tomorrow . i will 1st d tor though by washington because u. s. president joe biden has confirmed more than 70 americans with dual
9:17 pm
citizenship have left gaza. that comes after the rough off border crossing with the egypt temporarily opened on wednesday. listen for the folks. okay, let's bring in my can in washington dc. mike, that was a shouted question. so the information more than 70 americans, that's palestinian americans have been able to leave gaza. that's one of the priorities, obviously for washington is to get their nationals out of this war zone. yes, indeed. the state department in recent days has been saying that it's focusing on that to getting dual american public opinion citizens out of gaza. it disappears now to be the case, the president on spring that shouted questionnaire saying that 70 full have been removed from gaza. but details of how this actually happened and still not very
9:18 pm
clear with the there was a pause in the hospital it to use to allow them to get out how it was actually done . none of these details that be made clear as yet, but good news is what the president biden described it as. and we waiting for further details on exactly how this happened. and indeed, when it happened. no biden is also sending his secretary of state a anthony blinking to israel for the 2nd time since the war began. blinking said that he would discuss steps to minimize civilian casualties and that the us is determined to prevent a wider escalation. let's listen to the us secretary of state. okay, thought we have that sound by anthony blinking. um, we are working on that. who will play that for you shortly. but i'm told that i'm told we have it now. we're focused on the day off. we also need to be focused
9:19 pm
on the day after and so, and conversations that we'll be having through the 4th of this this weekend. i expect you'll see a focus there and particularly how we can get overtime to, to states for 2 peoples, which in our judgment remains the best guarantor and maybe the only guarantor of a secure jewish and democratic israel. and palestine is with the state that they're entitled to. so mike, this is the other conversation that americans say that they want they have with is really, is right now. i mean number one is how the israelis conducting the war and the americans want to urge them to minimize civilian casualties. but they also have this ambitious, big picture conversation that apparently they want to have with these relays. now as this war is being prosecuted, what's, what's the idea as well? this is the 1st time we've heard from the us administration since this conflict
9:20 pm
began in terms of discussing what happens often. everything was being focused on the day as the secretary of state would put it. nobody is being looking or talking about. but they often, all of a sudden we've now got the secretary of state on his way to israel. same one of the things he's going to be discussing in israel is what happened next. talking about creating a last thing piece, last spring piece, which in bring cars view. and the us administration's view is embedded in one concept and that is the 2 state solution. this is something that has being the a bedrock of us diplomacy with regards to israel for a long period of time. but now i'm thinking, bringing this up as well. i must as well as that, those on the other only things that a blinking was talking about, or indeed white house officials have been talking about in the course of the day. the question of sections of possibilities. now that's being talked about your cold friendliness of time in which it will allow people to get out and humanitarian
9:21 pm
supplies to get in. blinking it said, is going to be discussing this whole question of c spies or a polls in hostilities which would be dependent on location, which would be dependent on duration. it seems to be and vision. that's a whole series of a pause to allow us to let ease in particular areas in particular times given the circumstances on the ground of getting people out and getting him monetary and supplies. and so a lot of developments, a lot of information coming on to the course of the day. i can't leave the secretary of state, has a lot to talk about with the israeli prime minister. all of a sudden and bringing in not telling you what is going to happen during the conflict, how the is right. and he's actually conduct that conflict with regard to civilian casualties. whether or not it's really so getting to pose to conflicts at particular times to allow humanitarian supplies in. and then of course, the overall king thing, which has certainly come out,
9:22 pm
it seems from nowhere that there's a route to and to talk about and to state solutions. last spring agreements last spring piece seems to come out of nowhere as you say. um, mike had a reporting from the washington dc. thank you very much. we want to talk about that precise question with ellison's, you were a senior political analyst more one of the shower. and i, i'm very happy that you're back with us here in the, in the studio because we, we, we need to have these conversations. so the americans started their action in this conflict by expressing full fledged support for israel. they have a right not just to write, but a duty to defend themselves and very emotional language by the us presidents. and now they're there, tony has changed and they're saying one of our priorities as we go to israel, is to discuss a lasting solution to the conflict they've been at this for decades. the 2 state solution, i mean it's, it's been at this for decades. where do you think this is going?
9:23 pm
is this political expediency do they say it is because they have to say this? what do they say this? because there is a moment that can be seized upon to actually move towards peace. when president biden arrived in israel and gave prime interest and nothing. yeah. what about infamous hug? when uh, when the prime minister basically block today is the really president in order for him to get that embrace by the american president. that wasn't a classic called, that wasn't bro man's. that was a bad hog. the american president came to is read, his visit was a bit hug. what is a bear hug? a better? how does, what do you tell someone who is in trouble? as you embrace them very, very closely, you tell them, don't worry, i will protect you. i've got you down the roads, you only and that's the bear hug. presumably, america is giving. is there
9:24 pm
a new nurse? better hogs along the way, over the past. 55 years. the problem with is that, unlike other countries, say for example, ukraine or iraq or any which country is that is where it has that leverage in washington. that it gets the arms, it gets the money. but when it comes to the advice it does, washington: no, no, no. we can manage ourselves. we know what is our national security this time around president by didn't, has been assistance from the very beginning that his bear hug. is not i not that bad. he's been saying is, look, we've come all the way for you. we use our leverage diplomatically, strategically. we deployed to aircraft carriers. we already punched your arguments . we are 100 percent behind you where there is no they liked between us. if you do succeed in this war, i guess because of which the americans think they will,
9:25 pm
then you're going to have to deliver for us on the diplomatic front. so i might, as i listen to you, um, is it fair then to believe is there a reason to believe that this war for us, bloody and tragic as it is and for the as many civilians as have already died. and as many more civilians are going to die, more than likely in this war. but you telling us that it actually could open a window which hasn't been opened in a very long time for real sincere peace negotiations. right? but the, okay, but again, either or so let's just back back back to our just a little bit just a little bit by then before this visit in october was, was, it was and it started by this time before after he became president us. and he thought the president, our boss, the better city,
9:26 pm
and present your thought them forget about a 2 step solutions. this is not the time for us to, to run something by then couldn't even, must start opening the american consulate in east general setup in order to serve the fed. a send you insight. he couldn't basically account on anything when it comes to is right because of the dentist and yeah. how government and it's for the such a government, so right wing, so fascist, so fanatic. that's basically the americans couldn't use that language with this. right. and it has such a leverage in the american congress that basically you put in pushes or that will be that as it may not of the question is one of 2. i hope it's the 2nd, the 1st is binding. this message can be covered and go for it is read as it is finishing is genocide because we are already you on i and the rest of us rushing to talk about the day after. but we are spent in today. and genocide is unraveling today. and by then and blinking or stem giving cover to is there
9:27 pm
a diplomatic and otherwise on the promises of peace in order for us to continue with this genocide? that's one possibility. the 2nd possibility is the one we just address is that the americans are serious. they are sick and tired of this conflict. continuing under their own auspices, they have tried for 30 years since also started in 1993 to bring an end to this conflict which is the is ready to occupational part aside and they have not succeeded. is this the chance for them to actually be honest for the change and actually apply the necessity, depression, and the leverage that the now have with is read in order to bring peace prevention to be seen. so i've got another question for you, but i want to go down and fisher unoccupied. east jerusalem. just before i come back to you, alan, i, i'd like to find out you've been listening to these conversations and also of
9:28 pm
course you are preparing to report on this new diplomatic tor by anthony blinking the us secretary of state as he, when he arrives in his real tomorrow, how do you think he's going to be received as well? as of course, he will be given a bear hug. dislike my wife in talking about they'll thank him for the support. remember he was here twice in october. she did a visit around the region, he was meant to be here for 48 hours. the end of the a days he facilitated to biden's visit here, which was widely regarded as, as a success. i'm certainly set the template for other world leaders to come to tell a v, but to address them and express their support. but he's got difficulties because he wants to perhaps talk about some sort of more humanity need getting it. and that's difficult unless the is a see spot. and he's already told congress when he came evidence on the hill
9:29 pm
earlier this week, that a 65 would help from us. so that is a non starter. he also wants to address the fact that it was conducting this war and civilians are dying. but the numbers going up every hour, and he wants to talk to them about conducting the war in the limits of humanitarian dable, human rights, low and the the lowest of war. but he's got a problem because benny guns, who's often considered the most, most member of the, of the war cabinet. i said in the last couple of hours, the israel will act in accordance with what is right. what is it? benjamin netanyahu highs in the last our toll soldiers that they had at the gates of guys, and they will continue to go forward. they will not stop. so the idea of getting some sort of break and the fighting seems almost for lord. and he would like to discuss what's going to happen with the after the after how much falls if it's really successful in this war. and one of the things to be talking about is perhaps setting up some sort of international force. but who would do that?
9:30 pm
the americans to one bit, so the going certainly not in an election year. that would be a disaster for jo button because the americans would become targets ask other out of nations. they had a lot of issues with thing that that spectrum was giving a robert stump to what russia is day to do what israel is, is doing. and so there all these problems stacking up for him. no, one of his under secretaries has been in the region for the last few days smoothing out. and what's going to happen here, and as we've talked about before, presidents secretaries of state like to come away with what they can call deliverables. so on to the blink, and we'd like to be able to leave israel and say, well at least we go this. but at the moment it seems like whatever he's facing, is it not cold task? allen, thank you very much for all that reporting this hour from occupied east jerusalem. more one just before i come back to you, an important update for our viewers. the is really military now saying that they have in circled garza city. okay,
9:31 pm
so the information we had up till just this moment was that they were on the edges, the outskirts of gauze, the city, which obviously is the biggest city in the gaza strip. there now saying that they have in circled god the city will try and break that down, bring you more meaning on that context for so more one that question that i've been wanting to ask you since i was listening to alan, he mentioned that it's the presidential election year in the us. today's november 2nd, november 5th 2024 is the next to us presidential election. so almost to the day a year from now. so biden is heading into this election year. he obviously wants to be re elected. he's running that's going to be one of the main pressures that he's going to have to factor in. um, as he, you know, as the us ways its position in this conflict. does that you think make a serious push for peace in the is really policy and conflict more likely or less likely? i know you're not going to like my answer, but i'm going to have to, they always like your what is right. it's too early to early to tell. i tell you
9:32 pm
why it's on the authority, not just because the elections are next year us. it's too early because we don't know what's gonna happen the next 48 hours as why the loves to say, and i'm quoting this, but as them by the now we are at an inflection point now in cousins in the region. the next 40 hours for that are going to be decisive. now let me tell you why. i am an adamant viewer of these relatives. although i don't watch tv in general, but i have been the past 20 days watching this verity on the 1st 24 hours of not just the change of soul. and these are in the genitals. administrative commentators starting to boast about a potential victory. and guess what you'll call insert them and guys, and now they are talking about the siege within the siege. mm. so they've seen chicago since 16. 17 years now. they've see now they've besieged garza city.
9:33 pm
that's where they think the action is against the better thing. and resistance. so the next 4 to 48 hours could either open that way for digital have of, of many, many, many people die including a lot of his race. all those ages are using the heavy arguments defense. and for the 1st time, the boasting of using the most sophisticated american technology went by a soldier on the ground. now have instant connection with the, with the, with the edges, the jet fighters in there. so they can advise together. this is the 1st time it is, there is military history that they are able to use the most advanced american technology in order to advance in gaza for the resistance, extending gods and something as always opening up as we've heard from our correspondents. and so i plan on is that this is also becoming an inflection point . me now we're having a good one. you being hit and another news read. tomorrow,
9:34 pm
the head to hezbollah is going to make his big speech. or why does this also is going to be and he think off the board is what, what consulting i've been on as it's, it's so in goes of safety with blood should on the gate. we don't know exactly how would it go smooth. and basically it goes up, breaks down and falls apart, and is there a just engage the entire territory and perhaps push a number for this thing is the sign i will it actually proceeds for a number more days or weeks of street to street fights then the bloodshed, the treasury be, might not reflect very well the amount of compressed what's, what's happening. meanwhile, 2nd to blanket or something to that age. and hoping to talk about the day after there's probably going to be meeting with ida for ministers in georgia. that's the my knowledge in order to discuss the day after is the finding continues and guys,
9:35 pm
another front opens and sort of i don't. then, adams, foreign ministers are going to be quite wary of picking anything. the american president fixtures at this point in time. no. the jordan is putting back some buses . i'm heading the splitting back of some buses, or if this is going to go on for another 2 months, i'm not sure. jordan lebanon, and the number of other countries wouldn't be able to hold back for too long. to answer your question, you say your answer was, is too soon to tell. watch the next 48 hours, watch this space. okay. i'll take that. i'll take that as an asset more one. we're not letting you go anywhere you're staying with us even though we're taking a very short break. still ahead on alpha 0, palestinians in the occupied westbank say that they're being tormented by nightly is really rates dozens more, have been arrested. and germany bands, pro palestinian protests and arrest activists facing fear of answer sentences. stay with the
9:36 pm
fellow we do still have some wet weather in the full cost across the middle east, which you believe we spoke a fair bit of clout. the aspect thing about that just go central areas of saudi arabia. patsy raised some showers there, slipping the way into iran as a shower, stabbing to iraq right out pain to the black sea. may see a shadow to here and contact, but i don't think we'll see too much as we go through the next couple of days. the width of weather will be, was of the central areas of saudi arabia. at this stage, most of that is generate drive. we have got plenty of sunshine across that eastern side of the mediterranean, pushing right top to the black sea then. but you can see what's coming in behind rolling across the bus, supposed to be got some very heavy, right? this lot of pat and right running into that western side of the key, we have got a southerly wind, always a wind direction, of course,

in that room when that's pulling out of the north of africa. tripoli, 36 degrees celsius. but there's some brain to route across. northern positive rock x, northern areas of algae area on the west sleep res. i've looked at temperature back to around 25 celsius. as we go through sas state, much of north africa. cool. say is drive. we got a shy, was creeping away from west and pulse of the gulf with guinea, where to weather rod across the tropics, into tens in the 10s the list as well as his life for palestinians and his radio occupied territories every day. as the year of the tree security checks the day, the old deal, especially for young palestinian men, i didn't do it. you asked me for my list and you'd say then not going out unless they have to to avoid arrest check points. and harassment from angry is really odd
9:38 pm
. non side tells us he feels the situation has less than polish things. on sunday, he was chased by launch group. this is ray, the settlers, one on his way to what i've seen his rating, stupid market. the security guard came over shouting, but pointing a gun up my face and forced me to the ground. it was discrimination only because on palestinians with formright groups quoting on his release to its hind palestinians, they come across regardless of age. progress thing in the worries that they'll be collectively punished more than they already have been the welcome back to watching alpha 0 reminder of our headlines this. our israel's
9:39 pm
military says it has in circles, gaza city after having approached from multiple positions around to be besieged territory. grades from the air and land have intensified more than 9000 palestinians have been killed in gaza after 27 days of war on thursday. the, my god, the refugee camp and central garza was targeted as was the largest refugee camp in the north java. leah camp. this is been hit for 3rd day. there's been a serious escalation on the border between israel and southern lebanon, and dozens of rockets have been fired at the town of kerry up shimoda and its surroundings. earlier how mos released the statement saying its military wing because some brigades fired 12 rockets from lebanon towards the northern is really tell so $27.00 days of war. that's $27.00 days of unrelenting is really a tax on gaza and it's people bombs from the air shilling from the land. and this,
9:40 pm
this is the human cost. these are the names of the more, the 9000 palestinians who have now been killed. the human toll of the war, documented by alice's heroes, data journalism, team, ag labs, at least 3700 of them are children, many of them newborns. that's one child killed every 10 minutes. since the bombardment began. more than $2300.00 women were killed in is really a tax. here's what people are enduring in gaza. the
9:41 pm
now a top human rights expert as toll else has 0 and that the u. n. must hold is real accountable for its village reactions. and goes to craig the hyper resigned over the u. n's response to the war in his resignation letter. he described israel's
9:42 pm
onslaught on gaza as quote textbook genocide which is 0 is gabriel elizondo smoked in 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
9:43 pm
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 work 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
9:44 pm
conflict is over, we need to get back to a 2 state solution or 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, it 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
9:45 pm
palestinian. 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 hear increasingly about a 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 a 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? okay, more one, i wanted to bring you back in about this, this word genocide. it's um, it's obviously very significant in historical terms, in legal terms. it has a legal definition. we're not lawyers. these things are usually settled in a, in
9:46 pm
a court of law, which is what the un secretary general has said. you just heard gabriel is on the right. um. since that interview was done by gabriel, we have actually a number of un experts who again have used the word saying, gaza is running out of time quote, running out of time, and they're demanding a ceasefire to prevent genocide. here's the, here's the exact quote remain convinced that the policy and people are, it's a grave risk of genocide. this for it is important because this, this will leave a trace on public consciousness. i believe around the world. whether it is genocide, isn't genocide, close to genocide, etc. um, you know, and this becomes this because this is, there's something at stake around this candace would be used. is it fair to describe what's happening and causes genocide? again, i'm not saying it is, or it isn't. what i'm saying there is something happening around this word and what it means. while i look up, as you said,
9:47 pm
we are not in the court of law here. and i think is there, i would not ever say see, the, you know, the, the court of law in the hate, the united states will not let it. it's not a member. anyway. neither the and i say it's not as rise, will ever let their soldiers or general be tried in any which way by an international criminal court on your score. and in fact, when they tried to, uh uh, so many guns for his crimes, for his war crimes in 2014 guys award st. hold on, hold on, stuck down the case only recently because they said he was doing his job and we as hold on, we cannot be prosecuting any. is there any general who was taking orders, right. be that as it may, what's important for me and i hope for you on an hour of yours is the course of international public opinion. that's what's really important. so genocide becomes in as far as i'm concerned about semantics. but be that as it may,
9:48 pm
what's really differentiate genocide from other major war crimes is the establishment of intent. and that's what some of hybrid was talking about. and that's what the legal scholars i read had been talking about. and that's the fact that a number of his a little officials have most, it's maybe in a moment of anger and they've been on the session, maybe in their usual racism. that there is no, it isn't people. and guys, that was the declaration of why is there as president? is how head. so in a public speech, when he said these people don't support how much you gotta show, they should have done something about it. they all support him as they are guilty or what is going on or what went on october 7th. i know there's like nothing. yeah . whole like the defense minister get onto cold guidance animals. right? human animal, human animals. yep. and there are countless others as i was thinking earlier,
9:49 pm
i listen, maybe i'm a big mess. i can stick that way. but i listen to is really generals and commentators on his really tv the in the out to basically project things that kind of sentiment towards the, for the sinews bit racist a bit. dehumanizing over that kind of thing is in general, not just that you know, so sort of how much. so now these really uh, these really, for example, the media is divided into 2 kinds. there's a bit of a set up your room during the day for people to just tell them it's ok everything. would it be? all right, would it be safe? and there's a war room in the evening, or is there any television stations become water roads expending the war? and why is what is going to win? and why these, these terrorists are going to succeed at the end of the song? so for, so we have the situation now where by is read is so galvanized as a get us some states and so at them and in finishing off the jump as where exact thing,
9:50 pm
huge cost on the 1st thing is think goes on in the west, but the seeing of his regular soldiers today in the model, the shuffle capital of the palestinian authority are incredible. so is that is basically a demand to revoke your bank by the side, making sure the kind of thing and pay a price. and when it comes to that piece, such events, i think today as received with the configuration of the biggest variety establishment, there are no peace partners in israel for america. i'm sure it was. you were a senior political analyst. thank you so much. do visit the alpha 0 interactive uh on the palestinians were killed in is really attacks and gaza at the address for that. of course alpha 0 dot com since the were ongoing to begin more than 3 weeks ago. rights groups have reported an increase in attacks against palestinians in the occupied westbank. earlier. dozens of his really settlers set fire to shops and
9:51 pm
cars owned by palestinians in dish or ross, the west of nablus. one palestinian was reportedly wounded, is rarely settlements, are illegal under international law. so let's take a step up and get some historical context. israel's war on guns is being waged on the $100.00 and 6th anniversary of the bell for declaration which opened the door to the creation of israel and hundreds of thousands of palestinians were expelled from their homeland. what was that declaration? well, 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 of l 4, wrote a 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. now at that 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
9:52 pm
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 that balfour declaration written into that mandate. and in 1948 after the 2nd world war british occupies left palestine. the newly formed united nations declared the creation of the state of israel, and more than 700000 palestinians lost their land indians suing war. the shower do money is my who doorways, professor of palestinian studies and professor of history at brown university. he joins us from providence in rhode island. so i think a lot of our viewers and a lot of people around the world. now we're in the 27th of this conflict. you know, they need the historical roots of this. they want to find out why has this been going on for decades? what are the historical reasons, what would be your short answer to that?
9:53 pm
well, you gave it already. what about for decoration? it made 2 statements that have to come in my mind. the iron law that governs this conflict? a. yeah, the law is the refusal of the design of smooth man then it's becca is especially brittany during the early phase in the united states. these days to accept the existence of the brothers to me as, as a political community. which means they accept the existence of policies and having rights as any other people. and that has been the, are in law that has never been broken and isn't the root of this conflict. so the balfour declaration said, there are a jewish people and they need to homeland the, in other words, recognize them as a political community. but want to talk about the palestinians, so we're more than 92 percent of the time. they describe them as the mom, jews who have civil and religious rights,
9:54 pm
not political rights. and that was done on purpose after a lot of debate. and these words were written into the mandate, stronger, and they have to come of the law that governs this issue. now, why do we need an our law here? why has there been such an assistance for about a 100 years on not recognize the percentages of local communities allow the twin engines of a separate colonial project to move forward. and these are demographic displacement, atlanta appropriation, and not a single day has gone by in the last 100 years. and in which we do not see movement of demographic displacement atlantics for a patient of the native population. the palestinians by desires movement and then after a peaceful aid, the state of israel and other historical question for you. this one going to 1947 at the time when the u. n. was drawing up the plan for what would become, what would be done with a palestine that using the british term here for,
9:55 pm
for that region. at the time. there were 2 options, create one state to both the jewish and the policy and people, or create 2 states, right? one for the jewish settlers and one for the palestinians who were there. they decided they being the un decided to go with the latter. the 2 state solution, how come one state was created israel, the other was pieces. first, partition is the favorite weapon of former colonial powers. we see it taking place in the 1940s all over the world. most famously in india, which created pakistan and bangladesh and impacts the partition is the way to rule or postcolonial, world bodies and bars even when they're forced to leave. and so that partition was not acceptable to the majority of the palestinians. and the 2nd part of the
9:56 pm
question to i was, i was asking you since the decision that was made by the united nations was to create to states how come to palestinian state wasn't created. simply part of the government did not have an especially jordan. the desire to see this troubleshooted police and the state and the jordan energy, which was under british military for all, for a long time after world war one. actually had secret talks with his honest movement to make sure that there will be no palestine. once the partition takes place and jordan moved very quickly after 1948, the next, the west bank and east jerusalem and make it part of jordan. and egypt did not do the same for the cause of stripped the rule that they squashed any political activity in the best ways of the good, but they never made it efficiently
9:57 pm
a part of egypt. so the crowd a strip which was a pure ray creation of 1948 as the closing of the palestinians. and the question of the state of israel became a kind of a stateless geography added to res. so until today the shower do money, mama, dar wish a professor of palestinian studies and professor of history at brown university. thank you so much for joining us on the program today. we appreciate your time. all right, we're going to take a break and this does it say we'll have a full round up of our continuing coverage of the israel war on gaza at the top of the hour. these are the skies over gaza right now. it's almost 1900 g m t, that's $2100.00 local time in gaza. and remember what we found out about 30 minutes ago, the is really military now saying that they fully in circle gaza city. that's where things stand will be right back on alpha 0 in just over 2 minutes to stay with
9:58 pm
the as the we are on guns, the continues, we bring you the latest reactions and global out. we have come to appeal to governments. wait, wait, and goes done. besides, the palestinians are brothers. once honest, it's a shame, what's happening to the pen, assuming people, and that some european governments are even supporting the we citizens and mobilized so that at least there's a safe spot. it's not just about this latest wearable violence, this has been going on for more than 75 years. pieces of the range to stay with us . for the latest developments on al jazeera. in 5432 mon upfront takes on the big issue. this isn't a one off you, something about

a systemic issue here. black labs don't really matter and the police were unflinching questions is war with lawanda, imminent rigorous debate? people are dying because of lots of medical treatments, challenging conventional with the fact that people are starting to get angry about this is in itself a sign of progress. join me more for me on hills upfront one out 0 is real, is still refusing to allow the international journals into jobs to cover the carnage they're all that they can report on 1st hand is be, is really saw palestinian reporters risking everything to get the story f 15 members, funding 5 kills and, and asked dry sharing company one that we don't cover the news we covered the way the news is. the listening post i care about helping us engages with the rest of the world. i cover foreign policy,
