it is the largest and most densely populated in gaza. homes have been completely destroyed. many people are still trapped under the rubble to. the monks begins coverage. the traffic that follows and a strike is now terrifyingly familiar, stretches used for the fortunate shoulders, a blankets, ferry, the rest. the young faces of this will, a wide eyed and a life with fear. the dead elsewhere laid out by the dozen shrouds in all sizes, costs and holes left to carry the wounded vehicle. passengers, despots, the pots with danger. close shots, shots, the crowd. outside this hospital the semi automatic crackles. a constant sound track in gauze,

southern to the plight of the displaced as plain to see a cluster of crowded tents among them. a shelter offering that to safety for an uh small sleigh, a mother with a kids cost out of the home. well, we spend all night tearing rockets, embalming we are living between life and us. we may die at any moment. it's may be our turn and our kids turn. her family still somehow luckier than some others, with even less support. their entire existence is on the side of this road. little besides blankets and bags of clothes, same belie, i'm not off enough out children and started to hate to know. this is somebody given to us by god, the because of fee. when we hear the planes, we know there is a strike coming. some and gauze a still try to flee. finding safety is now the daily struggle for the months

out, is it a? so let's take a look at how and where israel is intensifying its attacks and gaza. the new phase, if, as well as ground vision is targeting areas near on eunice in the south. it is gauze, the 2nd largest city and home to hundreds of thousands of palestinians who have been forced from the homes. in the north is rarely forces of baffling palestinian fighters from the castle brigades and its lumnick to hide in those regions shaded in red. as also heavy fighting in several neighborhoods in gauze, a city that will the fighting and troop movements indicate that israel is aiming to divide the gaza strip into 3 areas. the north, the central region and the south. dr. solid homes is nursing direct to the european garza hospital in the south. he says stones have no option but to what on the continuous bombardment? no, no, no. i did. check it out in my you know, reading

a lots of problems including the are and then testable embodiments at night and the injured to arrive in the daytime. so we work with day, unlike at night, no cold in the daytime we receive casualties. this doesn't mean that we don't receive casualties during the night, the continuously arrive in our to our hospice is no. the problem is mobility to arrive to hospitals, a tart assume has the latest from russia in southern gaza as israel expands in military ration incognito. and those people across the con you in a city were forced again to evacuate to roof, seeking shelter away from it is very plumbing stuff. the city becomes overwhelmed with dr. reeves who are experiencing the trust, the conditions where they struggle to, for, and shelter,

to survive. people left everything behind on you and they were forced to live in turns that were sit in public areas. second, old basics employees to sit up on suitable for humanitarian use. a deep shortage of fluids, water and medical supplies. ruffle is now the loss joe to left for palestinians as also with the compartment continue in these areas. we on present that level even domains to every couple of zoom out to 0 roof in the south of the territory. is there any soldiers happen? writing towns and cities in the occupied west bank, they storing the alpha refuge account into pass as invited and confrontations between palestinian sizes. and is there any forces where he say several people have been killed? and of a 7 palestinians have been injured in a 9 hour rate on the janine refugee camp,

a scene people have been detained. is there any ministry has been stopping on searching ambulances? nope, to say at least 2 ambulances were prevented from reaching hospitals. now while res continue in the occupied westbank and bones full on garza seeing how much official a summer home done says negotiations regarding prisoner and captive swamps will only begin once israel stops its attacks. it would just be the one that that kid and he had with it to read that there is no negotiation, no swab, without seizing on the stopping the aggression against all what people against guys . and here we hold the missing yeah. whole for responsibility for the lives of the v is r e n z i n his captives as he have for you the and him done the swab, the as he resumed his attack again, his gaz. uh,

they are on the 5th or being killed by the bombard the minutes of missing the hose . what machine? and then is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu as reiterated his government's plan to retain security control of gaza off to the will. and i'm the son who has more than this from oki potties tourism. this is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu essentially just reiterated the 3 goals that he has for the war . and additionally, he spoke about what these rallies are hoping to do after he said that he wants to create a de militarized zone inside of the gaza strip. and the only force who could be responsible for that or these release, he said he didn't trust any sort of international force or coalition to get the job done for him. he also mentioned that there were significant military operations today in side of gaza, both in japan. yeah. and in hon. eunice in the south. these really army has said that they've completely surrounded the southern city of con eunice and are

operating in the heart of it all while trying to deepen their push into northern gaza while continuously making games. according to them. these really army released a statement earlier saying that they had achieved many objectives listing battalions that they say they've eliminated, but they have not provided any proof or evidence to those claims. these really defense minister jo golan. traditionally speaking of that press conference saying that the issue of the captives is very important to these rallies. and remember, we just heard from the some us folks for sent us out a home then who said that these really need to stop the aggression on gaza in order for there to be more captive deals. but these really defense minister you'll have the launch has been saying for not just days, but weeks that any future negotiations are only going to happen under fire. so there are different interests, obviously,

as this war continues more than 60 days on 211, a soldier has been killed and 3 others injured in showing by israel is ready. military is express regret saying lebanese army forces when not the target with the attack, as real says it was targeting a for us from a launching evasion complex of his bullet. presidents of, at least the american universities have faced questions from a congressional panel investigating mt. jewish discrimination on campuses, a house committee on education says anti semitism has spread rapidly since the beginning of israel's warn garza mitchell the was said about some of phobia that is also on the rise in the us, which is there is hi danger caster smith, washington. to these hearing, called by us house republicans opened with a video showing what republicans claim our recent displays of anti semitism on american college campuses. demonstrators protesting israel's war in gaza and

changing into thought of a call for palestinian resistance for right wing politicians in the us, this is considered to be hate speech. you understand that this call for intifada is to commit genocide against the jewish people in israel and globally correct. i will say again that type of hateful speech is personally born. the president of harvard, the university of pennsylvania and mit were summoned to as the panels chairwoman put an answer and a tone for their jewish students growing fear. during these difficult days, i have felt the bonds of our community strain. and in response i've sought to confront hate while preserving free expression. the anti defamation league says nearly 3 quarters of jewish college students have experienced recent anti semitism on american campuses,

including online threats. today in 2023 at n y u. i your call to gas produce and i am told that hitler was right, but muslim americans have suffered severe hate crimes since the war began. a 6 year old boy was murdered in illinois and 3 college students were shot in vermont. yet as long as phobia was barely mentioned in washington's hearing room, where the sol subject was discrimination against jews, the by the administration acknowledges a rise in both anti semitism and as long a sylvia and says it's working with police and community groups to counter those threats heidi jo, castro al jazeera washington, still head on al jazeera. but this is what the christmas looks like in palestine. this is what the christmas looks like. and bethlehem church in bethlehem says they will be no christmas celebrations, as long as, as well as on 5 minutes accounts and continues

a dish kick next week. so pretty extremes for cohen from western searcy, a more wet weather coming into the mix. here this area just saw the saturated, still recovering from grounds of rain over the last little bits. and now to africa, we go, it says northwest some showers in the picture here. temperature is a bit below where they should be for this year. so heavy rain fall alerts in play for southwest tons of near with bursts of rain to go on wednesdays. severe storms for that eastern side of south africa, and still some cute for pots one that meets the world. slow down, we stand for as homes with tips of global nickel reserves. indonesia is points to leave the global, the battery industries. we definitely manage our abundant resources and play a role in solar energy harnessing, offering 75 percent of global carbon credits essential. committed to inquire mental protection,

enhancing investment climate digital licensing. your better tomorrow? news . the watching out is there a line that's on top story is this hour? is there any on me says it's troops have reached the hall to ton unit, some southern gaza. it had previously the cloud, the area say so somebody is hundreds of thousands of to space palestinians to shelter that is ready. so just have storing the l f r a refugee camp in the west bank up in von and consultations between kind of city and sizes on. is there any

say several people and israel has carried out a major attack on the giovanni a refuge account, gaza. many people see it shows account is the largest in the strip and has been a tiny piece of land. the bottom administration says it is sanctioning thousands of is where a settlers and palestinians it accuses of carrying out attacks in the occupied westbank has a cold hand has moved from washington dc. the videos are everywhere. daily evidence of palestinians being violently attacked by his released settlers often armed and in some cases, murdering palestinians, burning homes, businesses and cars. and what kind of bull had got did they have weapons and started shooting at us? we would try to get in the houses with the children before october 7th, united nation says violence from settlers had already just place over 1100000 in. and that since the beginning of the war,

daily settler tax have more than doubled. now the us as imposing travel bands that a few dozen of those responsible possibly including their family members as well. the state department, careful to point out. it involves both sides as secretary blinking made clear to leaders of the government of israel last week. during his visit to the region. they need to do more to stop extremist violence against palestinians and hold those responsible for it accountable. we will continue to insist that both israeli and palestinian leaders take action to interrupt the increasing levels of violence against civilians. then denot hook in a state of law. and israel is a state of law. the right to use violence belongs only to those were certified to do so by the government. in our case, that's the military. these really please should bet on such that will likely ring hollow to the palestinians and the occupied westbank who say is really, soldiers are often there and do nothing to stop the violet's back. isn't i need you

saw the settlers to some of them has weapons and was shooting for them. it was fine with him. but if you were standing 200 meters from the city of telling cube to go away, sylvia was sure to. yeah, why is this happening anyway? i had repeated attacks with no consequences except now one less place to visit for a few dozen is really tied to clean l g 0. washington to us bringing you says blonde toys, professor of political science and international relations at castle university. thanks for joining the program. what do you make of these us plans to impose visa? bounds on is rarely some of those who engage in violence against publish. the new stuff is, do you think it's going to have any impact on the ground or the, the, the beginning is that the united states is play into the fights and the news on the it is that it's one way of saying that enough is enough. but i do not necessarily think it would make a difference on the ground to basically to threaten somebody that you're not going

to give them a visa. we've not to do much to detect them from committing some of the clouds down the way. i think it's the step in the right direction to united states is making thinking that the changes in its policy is to once what is happening in does that? i don't think it goes far enough from says also cold for the european union to do exactly the same thing. sanctioned dividing is riley settlers. do you think we are now seeing a sign of no action from the international community to stop as well as aggress aggression against garza? i think that there has been a shift in this done so the, it will not be a community represented by you do not have the states and the european union does. so you basically would like to say that what is going on is not necessarily the life of the settlers can particularly need to stop what they're doing and the like,

the government needs to control that was a set of those. but as i said few minutes ago, this does not go farther enough, for instance, in the u. k. they have introduced a bin, for instance, to prosecute any abilities citizen or commit certain offices overseas, especially in terms of the, those of us as for the people feel, for instance. so i think that maybe the next step would be for the united states and the european union for prosecute data must of all see these id citizens. all that was a, the, some of the things into us, or do you need to have them comfortable in us going and do you think we will reach a point where that how that will happen? i'm not sure, but i'm not sure if it, if it happens, but in politics everything is possible depending on the developments on the ground and the introduction to public opinion. they may consider this as an option. ok. talking of developments on the ground. we've had

a run back to the rebels in yemen over the weekend, striking commercial vessels in the red sea. we've had an increased as escalation of focusing on the 11 and israel buddha is the real potential. do you think a escalation into regional wide concepts? one of the time being i do not think it way and but what the forty's have been doing is to show support for the uh, by the stadiums. uh for the wise. well, no, he's nothing new to to the game. the hotels have been plugged in to out, but any of us hold up is associated with the state of these like, but i do not necessarily think it would escalate to you are usually some conflict unless the big players deal on an egypt comes. it took like a israel doesn't appear to be interested in any sort of mediation if it's at present to bring about not the true. so if you like,

why do you think that is given there is so much pressure at home to bring back the captives. think good, nothing the o is fighting for his political future at the moment. a fee for you. he is responsible for the faded off of the 7th and he wants to save the face. he's not caving, he's not giving into this a promotional, but actually, and he wants to show his audience that he is the man to bring about to finish how most ensure unusual, the, the safety and the security of the state of his life. is it just about getting rid of him us because what we've seen outside of gauze and we've seen the escalating, is there any raids in the occupied westbank as well? what do you think the buddha is writing strategy is, is a, it's just about getting rid of how mazda was a much more than that. but i think the, we need to look at it from to ways of to, to and because the 1st i'm going is because of the intention of the nothing yahoo

to put them then to, to have most and make sure that the uh goes on. the doesnt post, i've tried to just stay to visualize, but i think there is a much bigger of the project is to wipe out how much comp completely. and so alex goes out despite that, the truck is coming out to be back to the states and the light itself. okay, thank you for your analysis, yusef glendale professor, political science and international relations accounts or university. thank you. now traditional festivities during the christmas season have been cooled off, and bethlehem was sitting in the occupied. westbank usually attracts thousands of visitors during the holidays. but is he a residence in bethlehem on morning? the kidding and displacement of palestinians in gaza that ever the baby jesus amongst the rubble. it was to the traditional it to be seen to reflect the image is coming out of gauze of thousands of palestinians,

their fear to be buried under the winds of what was once their homes at the image is here. all the my guys and the shepherds looking for, for jesus, we get the lights on. as if to say that is a small price of hope. in the midst of this destruction. during the christmas season, eyes turn to bethlehem, the 1st piece of christianity palestinian. see, they cannot turn a blind eye to the left. this is really bombardment of garza if jesus is to be born again. this time this year he will be born in casa, under the installer deputy with the people of us. so this is all the city looked in early december of 2020 to julius and bracing to receive more rooms during one of the highest or 6 seasons. this is a major square near the nativity church. the tree should have been put up here,

but it will not be installed this year. there are no lights decorations about the city and state instead of celebrating which should have been the festive season. there no united in pain with no pilgrims or visitors coming to the city. the majority of the hotels shut their doors and as you saw, the hook is empty. in a of the 2022. the husband was pretty book of the period from october. it did the end of the, of the christmas, overshadowed by more celebration may have been cancelled. what's prayers don't stop? while i see that his health is to any type of bethlehem in his sermon, he urged people to find hope, despite the darkness many here see all they want this christmas is peace. a put down seems further away than ever need
