1:00 pm
sweetheart, just from those 2 speeches, bytes, the war on gauze. i think the comments of the middle of cuts are all important because council has been playing a central role until 3 days ago. we had that 7 day trees that existed on the ground in garza, and that was the work of cuts off mediating with come us, which has a uh, an office here in doha with these re lease and the americans. and you had pretty scaling woods that from the middle of cutoff, about the end of that truth. and what was going on on the, on the ground in gauze are described as a genocide. he describes israel as a states of apartheid imperialism. i was looking cathy to see what lives any woods about fresh negotiations because cats has made the point that it would like to revive a permanent spa. and that's actually the position of all of these dcc countries as well as the out of me is they want to permanency spa, he said they would strive towards negotiation, but no real fresh news. i'm afraid that would bring any hope to the people of cause
1:01 pm
that was suffering such a bombardment, tough words to full, the international community for the un security council. you said it was a disgrace that they were not doing more to stop the violence and he referred to israel and it's back cuz that's where i think some of the politics behind the scenes. now they've gone into the closed session become interesting. because remember among the 6 countries of the gcc, they will condemn what's going on now. but the backdrop of the relations with this right is very different. you have bar rain and you a he who under the trumpet, ministration sign, those abraham accords, other took place and normalization process. with israel you have saudi arabia that was looking down the route towards normalization and the prime minister. netanyahu just the general assembly view. and in new york city they were on the cost of a historic deal. well that's now. busy old,
1:02 pm
but it is clear that these countries have different relationships with israel, and some of them still have diplomatic relations with israel, despite the strong combination of what's going on on the ground in johnson. we know james, that out of nations have made a show of trying to initiate action to bring the war in gaza to and then, but without any evidence success. they've been accurate actions among the palestinians that countries are simply not doing enough. is there a danger that this meeting is just woods and no action, or is there any hope to be had here for the final students? and they'll certainly be strong words here and i think they'll be important discussions as important discussions be taking place. i'm not far away to him on the sidelines of the cult meeting in the by not just about what's going on now, but on, on the future of what happens to go. so the us has been trying to instigate discussions among the arab countries,
1:03 pm
and the gcc have been instrumental in the past in re rebuilding garza. so i think they're all important to discussions to be had had to you. but i don't think that this grouping is going to end the war and gaza was telling you the green thing that we're seeing now is the 6 countries of the gulf cooperation council. but they haven't guessed it. we're going to see later on in the proceedings and that is present. 0, one of the key he's very, very strong on his condemnation of his route is described recently. a problem, isn't that so you know who is the book sure. of gaza. i'm says that he should face a war crimes cool, very soon. okay, james guys will leave it there with you. many thanks for bring us up to date, and that's bringing now, simon had him as he's an associate professor of know at northwestern university here in cutoff joining me on set many thanks and good to have you with us. i just reflecting on on what we've been listening to the meeting of the gcc the gulf corporation council. clearly as we've been hearing from james bass garza,
1:04 pm
top of the agenda that they want to see action varies. uh, there are tools there to the united nations to bring this war to an end, and then initiate immediate peace talks towards a final solution, the accusations against the international community for double standards and turning the other way. the ultimate question is, what can be done by this grouping? uh, yeah, it is. uh oh, wonderful question. i, i would say that uh, if there was ever a good time to have the gcc summit, this is probably a good time to have it. if there was ever something to, you know, i, i don't think people generally follow is the gc some. it's on other years. this is probably one to follow that. but i do think that it's going to be words and no action. and partly because, you know, 20 years ago, a little bit more. right. the 2002 uh our summit they came up with uh,
1:05 pm
normalization for uh, sort of uh, end of occupation. uh, the sort of trade off that never really amounted to anything. uh is rarely is in the interim 20 years have occupied more lines and built more settlements. so i, i think the problem is that the gc and mirror of quotes on how wonderful, where its the say right. and he, i think the global uh, global public opinion, global solidarity movement has put out such words like genocide and a part side that is allowed world leaders to use those words with the backing of research. a reason of, you know, the backing of genocide scholars so you put out some marvelous words that are, that needs to be on the world stage. but the problem is, uh for auction, uh you need some sort of threats and there is no, there is no threat. the gcc cannot threaten as real it's,
1:06 pm
and it's worth pointing out those that the, this isn't a so to dc embodied grouping in terms of the why the picture and this crisis. this is a group of countries that does a needs own way within it individually have relations with israel. you've got cut off the media a to the broad about the truce that has ongoing mediation and contact. therefore, with both sides in this conflict, you've got saudi arabia that was on the brink of normalizing relations with israel and therefore must have context with it as well. and it caused by right. and the way it stands with pointing out parts of the abraham a quote. so they each have potentially have something to contribute and a role to play. it is not a m c ballast body. in that sense. yes, it isn't a empty mazda it presumably each one can put the forms of pressure and in different ways and the, but the problem is that i think we for us, right? well, so we for the case and we always talk about how there is no military solution to
1:07 pm
this conflict. good. and we talk about how the reason we put that in the context of how i'm us. we tell from us there is no military solution. we tells us below, there is no military solution. but really for israel, it is a military solution that israel is afraid to negotiate because it will lose ground through the negotiations through war. it's can onix through war it's can act occupied through war. it can uh, ethnically crunch clubs and so for it the solution is a violence one. and we, you know, we forget that. and so if there is no, you know, sort of threats. and i think the last element to this is that the, the us in all of this and the end of the sort of what kind of pressure can the gcc put on the us. and i don't know if there is any pressure to be put on the us, but you know, the us can stop this tomorrow today. if it stop supplying is real without munitions . i mean, we don't need to go very far. that is really former generals will tell you that
1:08 pm
israel can't fight this war if it's not resupplied by the us. i think that's really an important piece of this that we, we forgot to can and this and in a minute. okay, somehow most thanks so much for your insights that will leave it for now. israel is intensifying and widening its ground. defensive in the south bombing hospitals, schools and residential buildings. and there's no laptop else with the worst attacks. we're in the surrounding areas that come out at one hospital in northern gaza. school in a 100 pounds of students have been killed, bodies are piling up outside the hospital with thousands of people, the sheltering they say it's on the siege. and anyone attempting to leave is being shot half price ready? soldiers be is ready. the army is carpet bombing, several areas and gaza closing in on the south. people were ordered to get out of con eunice and rough uh, in the middle of the night. and uh, the as of this morning, but these rails relentless bombardment is making it impossible to leave, but at least
1:09 pm
a 158 people that confirmed that across kaiser in the past 24 hours. that means nearly 16000 fellow students have now been killed since the war began, and that's despite the pressure from allies for israel to reduce the number of civilian casualties. causes director of health is inside the come out allowed one hospital. he told al jazeera the patients and people taking shelter the a skid. i am inside the commanded one hospital. these reorganization forces of late siege to the hospital from all sides. as you can hear, we're being targeted by gunfire and artillery shells, patients the injured and those are took showed during the hospital, a group with fear overwhelmed by hara. the hospital is under attack with a move possibly removing all those inside the hospital. we the medical staff are holding our ground. we are standing by our patients and the wounded. we will continue to several people by all means left here. a bank has more now on
1:10 pm
israel's wide and then ground defensive living wolf among the dead. in one room they will be the one thing on the sill, wrapped in a white sheet to present the best way to load the parties on to a cost adults to the side babies and children in the middle. she says, no one of my family survived all those of my family brothers, sisters, and cousins. i'm left alone in the flesh. we cannot bury them, you know hometown, because of sniping inside the hospital. they're in the fire in line, definitely live. as you can hear with targeted by gunfire, an artillery shells, patients injured in those took shelter in the hospital. a group of fear overwhelmed by hara the hospital is under attack. but these really became of
1:11 pm
a factory thing. all those inside the hospital patients, victims display civilians. we the medical stuff a holding our ground. we are standing by a patients of the wounded who continued to so the people by all means left here come all at one hospital. displays post and you sold refuge after school. now that i did to the long list of victims is really appears to have no issue. but i mean schools postings were forced to say to bypass the loved ones. parents forced to bury the children you must to god. i lost my son for my son, for my son. certainly, you left me alone. i cannot possibly is my son. he's all i said. is you it has off paste and used to move to a roof of the stuff of tape bombs everywhere. even no contract and no one i touched bites were in garza, he had them had that done with the pieces his blood. this is his precious blood. my
1:12 pm
god, have mercy on his soul. i see my darling, i want to smell his sent. just smell has sent the sent in gaza. is of a sudden vague i just do but i'll just it was on us. i'll shareef was up the come out loud. one hospital incentives this update aside the situation inside the come out loud when hospital is very difficult to to the continued shelling. the shelling has not shipped stopped at a large number of displays. people are now coming to the hospital. i know already inside the hospital. they make up uh children women, elderly and disabled people as well as sick and injured. c we wish we would not lift behind. we pray to god for his justice, the injured people of being transferred to the combat allowed one hospital. as we can see, there is
1:13 pm
a real sense of terror. i'm panic among the children and women here because of the continued shelling near the hospital compound. what is the one for me? they've already killed us all families and friends or did share the one on you can see here, the occupation forces are throwing smoke bombs in front of the come out allowed one hospital. we were inside our house. suddenly, with a warning that was fire, hit us without warning. the problem up, since we are close to come on are due on hospital and we asked to feel deals with children. mean my wife and my children came here. as you can see here, the dust is coming and come on was one hospital because of the continuous children go around the hospital. well displaced people inside the hospital. united was dish we. i live near the come out on hospitals where the occupation forces shells have
1:14 pm
just struck. and as i've been doing this is every 15 minutes a bomb drops since the afternoon. there's been artillery showing our house was bomb 2 days ago of 35 shoulder house while we were inside it. we have nothing to do with anything we want to live on. despite this dangerous conditions, we've been able to go outside of the hospital compound to document the scale of the destruction. this happened because of the occupation forces showing. there are a large number of dead and injured in this area who have yet to be recovered. we can see that there's a huge destruction here and within the hospital compound, we can say the bodies of the dead piling up in they come out loud when hospital compound. and so now these families have been unable to bury them because of the dangerous situation and the risk of movement around the hospital compound. this is one of the dead children who are killed during the shelling that's taken place
1:15 pm
recently at the hospital. but we can now bring it out on fisher, who joins us live from occupied east jerusalem and alum. just looking at those pictures of a clear that israel is increasing, it's pushing to solve them guys. but i understand talking about bombing in the north of gauze. what have they been saying? exactly the campaign in the north isn't over even though they're moving the resources on military personnel farther so as well. in the last couple of days they said, dude and subculture value refugee cabinets. the biggest refugee come in. the guys a strip and then just in the last few hours, they said that they moved into the northern part of the account and that they had taken control of how much is local and security headquarters there. and they've also said that they're continuing to fight as they move into jamalia itself. it's a got it as really a mass hot spot with lots of how mass operatives in the area. and these really army
1:16 pm
are saying that they've managed to destroy how much equipment they have also gather the intelligence and use that intelligence to the right. it's a direct air strikes against a mass operatives, no, as they move farther. so this is all part of essentially what you would see in military times is closing the back door, making sure that you can be attacked from behind, which is why they are targeting jamalia. and also, just in the last 2 minutes, we have find out that they've dropped leaflets and then around 10 units, warning people that there is going to be a major military operation there in the coming hours on either to go to shelters or to follow approve routes to get out of the say that some of the routes that people would normally take to move part of their side will become a battlefield. so people then have that very difficult decision to make up to the state. knowing that there is going to be a major baffled or do these take their chances and move. one thing won't be a lie ahead of them out and stay where you are. because i want to ask you about
1:17 pm
other news at the head of the world. health organization says israel has ordered his organization to evacuate its facilities in southern gaza, specifically a medical supplies warehouse. he made the remarks on the social media platform ex israel, as i understand, it says they did nothing of the sort of island. what. what more can you tell us about that? as well as seems like the social media. right. but this has the potential to become a diplomatic grow. essentially, the head of one of the, you know, organizations say that their facilities have been directly threatened. somebody israel, which of course, in the eyes of many would be a war time. no talk to us a deeper use as i had said on ex, formerly known as twitter, they had received notification from is really forces that to remove supplies from a warehouse in southern gaza within 24 hours. because populations, their military operations would essentially put that beyond reach. and he said if
1:18 pm
he would appeal to the israelites to withdraw the order, i take every possible measure to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. the world health organization to that threat. so seriously that they started to move equipment and drugs, i took that warehouse and move it to other places that we're how services around 11 hospitals and southern gaza. and of course there's a consent. there's these really military move further, so they'll be a great deal to stay and put on those 11 hospitals. they will, if the know if there's any template to follow, run out of a central equipment. and so the world health organization was deeply worried about the spot in the last few hours, again on social media from copeland, which is part of the is really ministry of defense. bit applied saying the truth is we didn't ask you to evacuate the warehouse. we made it clear in writing to relevant un representatives and from a un official, we would expect at least you to be more accurate. but what is clear is that the united nations true, they seriously enough,
1:19 pm
but they started moving equipment and they're still hoping that that warehouse will be able to operate, given what the expect is coming in the coming days and weeks. okay, alan, thanks for the update. alan fish and they are not bodies to risk. so let's bring back a guest here in the studio. so i'm a hernandez. m as he's an associate professor at northwestern university in comp. todd signed me thanks for sticking around with us. and this thing that's alum, talking about that template of what has happened, what happened in the north to show us what is likely to happen in the south, what is likely to happen to hospital facilities. we looked at these all 4 pictures coming out of come out loud one hospital, body bags piling up and so on. it's hard to reconcile these a pulling pictures with claims that is rarely is making it the same time that it is now seating international pressure and doing what it can to minimize civilian casualties. it looks rather more as if they're simply repeating in the south what they've already done in the no, i mean it's, it's double speak. there's a,
1:20 pm
you know, they're doing one thing saying something i'm doing doing another. and it's, uh, i mean, frankly, i'm just watching here with you and it's ticking on my stomach is kind of turning. and i don't know if i don't really have many words. i mean, we can keep talking, but it's, it's, you see, you see what they tell that you one and then they're, they're doing the same thing. they're bombing, who are they trying to convince? they talk about the measures that they put into play just the civilian casualties. this, this grid system, which you can play in the circumstances of guys that i present doesn't work. it relies on mobile phones that have to be powered, that have to have access to a wi fi signal. it doesn't work, and it's clear that civilians are dying. who are they trying? how can, how do you get, how do you get the world to follow? you as you committed genocide, but how do you, how do you do it? would you use, you put out a map said the, tells the world that,
1:21 pm
you know, we have the thinking about the safety of civilians. you say we've created safe zones and you, you're speaking this language that, that sells, this kind of violence to the world as if it's targeted. but we see what's going on and what, what i mean, you'll feel especially to be social movements. and you've raised an interesting point that because surely they are the people who are taken in by that sort of narrative. but we are doing everything we can do in front of the people who aren't actually looking at or seeing the reality on the ground. and one of the problems is these pictures a so on bearable to look at in any conflict, international audiences move on, switch off, get horror of fatigue that will be happening now as well. how does one maintain an international focus, not just by politicians, but by public's around the world on what he's awful and happening, that we can fairly look. okay. yeah, i think i, so one of the things that uh,
1:22 pm
you know, you, you need to maintain the sort of global solidarity. one way to do that is through a movement called the boy card divestment sanctions movement. right? so it'd be the movement of long standing on sunday. so, but, but the interesting thing is that this long standing movement that's, you know, working in a sort of sustainable long term way in these moments is able to gather these networks to bring people out into the streets. right? because people are, are working on something long term, but they're so, but they're also being in that process being educated and today those, those people make it out into the streets. and i'm so sorry, i don't know if i hope we get a chance to talk more about this in a moment. we sort of goes back to the v c. c summit, the gulf corporation counseling, web presence. the other one of the testing is preparing to speak with an assistant committee. you'll, as you see, see some of the, the, a to do with this is that a reflection of the close relations between those agencies remember states and that
1:23 pm
it popular gulf co pay and that thing and further they mentions and taking these relations to higher levels. you may have, but let's again, with a whole lot safe community. what do you know, what your and with them, and you got it set up the best interests of our respective people and hoping that the summit will achieve its desired goals. thank you. while i'm here, so let me know if this what believes that i give the floor of a so my brother has etc, and see what the president of the t it rides up the other day. i smell a rough mind the same as harm. what is that? let's see, what is the hot, the rest of that is the z o loyal height and it says 0 to exigencies. as mr. secretary tend to be myself, i salute to you. get on with them on a what a muscle respect to an appreciation. may god's be send blessedly with you. i mean,
1:24 pm
even though i sold in a corner, this was when the pleasure of that i take part in the 44th z c c summit and to be among you here today. so i extend all the tanks and our appreciation to my brother bypass sort of in a safe domain. the mayor of got a lot to know as a guest of on a a door and for the g. this has all relations with the d. c. c member states with a check on that there was a malcolm taking the 11 day after day and my presence isn't here today at, but it's amazing is one of our mutual of the windows. and i am certain that we can hate to be cements these relations by joining hands and about the teddy hogs. as was the key, the volume of today with a between 30 and is this is the countries on the land and aka bain. it has the
1:25 pm
increase of the off on the phase 2, but the facility in the 4 are not coming to him is $23000000000.00. and it is very important to also have the 3 t that gaming between to key and disease to see member states some come into aspects and. and it does also with pleasure to see, i want him to see to the one and 2 it is this, the nation to own the d. c. c or for the citizens for bill comes to see my i've been the 5 and the result of the ministerial may things on the strategic dialogue way convene to do. and we said hope that the 6 roberto would have been on one will be convenient on the 1st quarter of 2024. and typically as a whole country, and i said the, we paid the great the $0.10 to the projects and enterprises on
1:26 pm
child support case enrolled, netflix, which connect to the gtc member states. so we go to europe and we can continue to develop our relations in that energy domains. but see that this, this model turkey has become a safe haven for international and decency investments. and we have with this very significant some of the major developments in terms of security. that of sonata and confidence acted as model of dental and investment was also the tech case military in the cities. so this is that the significance of, and we're, i'm a base, i will go place and that's why it is imperative to continue to diversify our aspects and domains of cooperation. my brothers and friends 60 mount and it's, it's not a living outside the building,
1:27 pm
the ex extra ordinary summit to convince element of i'm with the area of how to be between the organization of islamic conference and the legal 5 states. and we all touch the significance of co pays and, and so the data team, a lot of folks on gaz, it was very significant towards design and action. and it is very important to continue to monitor and, and follow up with the decisions and resolutions handed down and doing that summit to him once you have the it. but similarly, an equation of the minnesota yellow cab instead of efforts and modeling on. so the important we also commend the mediation efforts played by the state of cuts out of for the truth and swipe of data, and he is and captives. we had hoped that the ceasefire would be have been 30 minutes as nothing. yeah. how is gambling with the entire s?
1:28 pm
yeah, reasons, future for his own political calculations. was the killing of women avon this that and out of what i said is the reason i thought that for the study that has its own 17000, i'm innocent. civilians were killed. this constitutes a war crime and is royal. this must be penalize that has to account for these crimes. the key is extended then it says that they leave a do guys that through 12 months side that you know cargo planes. and we also have the model by the map you can model broke, deal with the number of guys then space ends and would that include the cancer patients? our goal is to have looked at permanency spot, establish it from the and the, and independence bella state in silver and states who would be established on the
1:29 pm
1967 border with east tourism as it's a capital. and within this context then towards this end, we are prepared as explained to all the states, including that he's in other states on it, to one of the gods that this should be included among the options as well prepared to act as a guarantor state. and how, what had them on this house with them and just this can load and continue mold the studio one minute wait list, apply to in relation to them, syria and to restore security, then wish the be kicked k i k y, z. i did notice that they would this get lots would be to do this region. it is that these activities that undermine of our efforts towards peace and security of the moon, we should see aim towards finding at the bla,
1:30 pm
methics solution in syria with stuff on the basis of the you and the solution. $2250.00 for each. uh the auto be we must provides a lima so solid grounds. we had the high one, let us know now and these are the ability. we also work towards that it to the bottom totally, but it's in of city and a few days i've been if you have the we together with other stakeholders at the moment. we pay also close attention to the proceedings of the g. c. c. summit. the part of it time is obvious and the more asus eddie and for seeing the cost to use and introduce them to look at foundations as was the strategic partnership with the z say member states, way to provide new horizons. so the member of states of puppy thought these are the we also measure aim towards her,
1:31 pm
these reinforcing that expanding our nations in terms of the strategic corporation . i'm going to buy this, i think, glued, wishing you all the success code i see for hi, what are you saying to my brother? his is excellent. see president reg, apply about the guy and for the de la and the conclusion of the proceeding of this some institute to show up. and i did today my appreciation to you for taking part. and i extend how we uh, express my pleasure for the brother list, stay the to was, let's see it and understanding and the discussion and the wisdom and drafting that is a loose and handed down, which i hope will contribute to the prosperity. and what is said of our respective states and peoples savings to the causes of our auto, but most of them nation. i also extend the old thanks an application to the members of the delegations and this secular division that i am old. the staff of the
1:32 pm
secretary attended on board the consented effort during this edition, and to conclude it a today or what it coming to you all mind your brothers in your 2nd homeland hoping to meet with you and the upcoming summit brain to get on my teeth to save you my, do my fee, say the do it and guides us at all to watch the best interest of the welfare off our people. thank you. provided us proceedings conclude while even listening to a concluding comments the by the image of cutoff to speech is given by lead is attending the gulf corporation council summit here in doha a moment before we heard from to kias present address at the top of the one with
1:33 pm
these thoughts on events in gaza or across high on the agenda, they have nothing. you all have gambling. he said with the future of the entire region for his own political calculations, cooling for israel to be penalized for war crimes, for an immediate cease fire, and for a return to talks towards a permanent palestinian state. and diplomatic it is a james pays was listening in is very indeed at the summit. he joins us live. james, what does techie bring to proceedings? well, i think it is important that you have the presence of took a talking. i'm the i'm here to catch all talking because they were very strong in that condemnation of israel is bombardment of gaza. it's interesting that some of the of the members of the gulf cooperation council vote that that position as members of the arab league and the organization, always not me cooperation, is that they want to permanency spell and they condemn israel's actions. some of
1:34 pm
them i think probably wouldn't be in a little bit more muted in that criticism of his route in the public setting. and that's because you go to look at the different nations that make up of the gulf cooperation council. some of them have very different backdrops to their relations with israel. you have during the trump administration of the abraham records that was signed and that includes the united not remembrance and by writing they have normalization deals with israel. and despite what has happened in the last couple of months, and despite what we're seeing even now in gaza, they have not dropped the diplomatic relations with israel. they've just condemned its actions. and remember, saudi arabia was also very close to signing one of those normalization deals, prominence and nothing yahoo telling the un general assembly in new york in september they were on the cost of a historic deal because that deal never got signed and it's certainly on hold right now, but i think for some of the gcc countries, this is
1:35 pm
a little bit more complicated than it is for casa and for to kia, which is here. obviously not a member of the gulf cooperation council nelson country in the gulf, but unimportant regional play, invited as a vip guest for this annual summit of the g c. c. the way it works in this organization is you have your annual summit at the beginning and then you have a year as the chair. so catseye is the chair of the gcc for the next year, and then they'll be a summers and quite when quite takes save us the championship next year. okay, james, thanks for that time stays out. took them out together to the gcc summit. and let's cut back now to summit her meds who is still here with me on set. he's an associate professor at northwestern university in kut. uh and sammy, i just want to pick up on what james was saying there. katasha, kentucky, a speaking strongly in condemnation of his rose actions. all of these countries are united in wanted to see a permanency is 5, but some of them,
1:36 pm
perhaps more muted in the public criticisms because of their individual ongoing relations with israel. so this is a body that speaks with one voice, but not necessarily with great folks. yes indeed. and i think at this point, we'd have to sort of wait and see what the final declaration that comes out of this summit is they're, they're able to, you know, in fact i thought to, so he was president was i could have been stronger. he's used much more diverse writing language in defend the past. exactly. and so i was uh, but a sort of unimpressed or a surprise. yeah. but, but so these are, you know, with the public pronouncements. let's see what, what comes out with the declaration. but i, you know, i think we were talking earlier. if you don't mind, you can sort of going back to that, i'll have to tell you i was going to, as well as the i think what needs to happen alongside these diplomatic maneuvers is,
1:37 pm
is global public pressure. what you saw after the, during the pause, naturally, people are sort of in a wait and see. and then the bombings escalates. but people need time to sort of take back to the streets and react. but you're seeing that again in western capital's, there's actions being a taken protest. and i think, you know, what i was saying earlier is that the media movement boy called the investment sanctions, is an important part of this uh, this global pressure because it's through one through that, that people get educated. it's through that that we've called for military embargo for example. and we've seen unions in italy in greece, i think in belgium. refuse to uh, sort of unload or uh to uh, sort of uh send uh the unload or, or what's the us to, to supply ships with the with arms. so we've seen some is not taking place and we
1:38 pm
need to see more of that. and it needs to get, obviously up to the level of this or political political action. but i think that the sort of, you know, these boy cuts also from the arab world. but we haven't seen a, our governments take these sort of positions. and so you need more public pressure, it's there, but it's not this kind of critical nice. and you know, one last thing i'd like to say is sort of the in western capital is what you've seen. are jewish allies, right? who of a stormed capital and, and occupied the spaces of senators offices and so on, who are really kind of puts the sort of anti zionist agenda on the table and have been allies of palestinians. i think that is really important and shifting public, the scores, shifting political discourse in the us, especially somebody thanks for your thoughts. great together. while the offensive in guys are intensifies,
1:39 pm
he's ready. soldiers have been writing towns and cities in the occupied westbank areas near beth. i'm jeanine have been targeted once again. a young man was killed in the columbia refugee camp in northern jerusalem and his brother, arrested bulldozers have destroyed roads, the pavements and water supply lines in janine need to abraham. these live for us in best lab and need it. perhaps you can give us a bit more detail on, on what's been going on. these ongoing raids, pressure, relentless, and they all can bug westbank you know, as many analysts would suggest that as well as not interested in opening another frontier in the occupied westbank, people on the ground, they're telling you that this intensive use of a it of the violence against palestinians during these rates, the never seemed to be ending in different places across the occupied west bank is only making sentient through, you know, the, the 25 year old who has been killed in the columbia refugee come. who is by the way,
1:40 pm
this 2nd to be killed in 24 hours in the same place on columbia. he was behind the door that these relays have designated to enter inside and arrest his brother, took about the feelings of and just as the feeling of pain amongst those families were losing their loved ones, all and all across the occupied west bank were talking about more than 40 palestinians will have to be interested. as a result of those raids they are intensifying. but also there's something that we've been seeing happening sporadically now is becoming more of like a policy, detaining family members in order to get people to have themselves over to the is really forces. so when they go to a house or to a city and they don't find someone, they arrest the relatives. and then for i showed it to them to hand themselves in. this is the case that we're seeing across the occupied westbank. and those waves have also happened here where i am, and bethlehem, you know this city around this time usually celebrates christmas. ease with these festive, you know, but this year o christmas celebrations have been cancelled. and i want to show you
1:41 pm
a little bit from in front of the lutheran church here in bethlehem, where the pastor and some of this christian comedies have decided to mark christmas in a different way. instead of having a christmas tree that is decorated with ornaments. we're seeing baby jesus wrapped in a coffee, a palestinian coffee on, is placed in the major or under the rubble. we'll talk a little bit more about that with pastor with that as hop at the lutheran church. what's the idea behind having jesus under the rubble instead of a christmas tree, christmas celebrations are cancelled to see it. and beth land for obvious reasons. it's impossible to celebrate when there is a massacre, a genocide taking place in regards to without what people. and so the idea was to
1:42 pm
send a message to the web face, but also to all west helps a message to the world that this is what the christmas looks like. and paula spine, this is what the christmas looks like. and bethlehem, the best place of cheese as the children totally being pulled from the time it is being displaced with that homes destroyed. and why the world this celebrating christmas at the good place of jesus? this is what christmas looks like. this is usually a season for celebrations, and also a season for hope is their hope left. we have open our faith. we have hold the christmas party actually gives us hope in the fact that jesus was born among the occupied. this is what happened. 2002 years ago. and so going back to this manger set think it dumps us the baby jesus is. and so the data to with those who are stuff that inc, would those who are oppressed. so in this christmas we find our own, the source of hope is because of a faith in
1:43 pm
a just god. and then i was totally deputy with one another. and i hope that dismisses gets to the world that we are united in palestine and sadly, like now we are united in our pain. there's so much detail going on here at the building this major. can you tell me a little bit more about how you placed the major and all those details? so yeah, the, the image basically came from what we see on the west screens. children being pulled out of the bills and of people coming can searching onto the to find any sign of life, any sign of hope. these images have broken us and we wanted to bring them to the church. and usually it typically means it would have a baby jesus in the middle, and then the holy family, the ship at the end of my guys surrounding him. but this time around we, we thought of all these characters and the baby and the gospel narrative and the christmas negative being at all in the house as if they are searching for jesus. i
1:44 pm
said that trying to find him in the midst of, of that awful with just a little of all over them. again we, we want to bring the christmas story, make it 3 and all what context today. and i think if jesus is to be born today, he would be born on does that all the because the, with those who are suffering and the my guys and the shut bets would come and search for jesus in the midst of the bill of, of a destroyed house as we see today. thank you so much pastor on the top of the lutheran church. he was just telling me earlier that while the celebrations of christmas have been cancelled, the prayers will not stop and they will keep praying and hoping for peace. need a room hot breaking stuff. thanks for that. now, while families, all these readies captured on october, the 7th press the government to ensure the return of their loved ones to other
