6:02 pm
the main thing comes as is riley forces intensify better attacks and the northern central and southern tops of the besieged gauze. the strip. the jabante, a refugee camp has again been targeted. a building housing displaced people was hit, another structural court fine. and the overnight strikes killed at least 5 people in the sidewalk to come to the center of garza off to at least a 100 palestinian men. detain vice right. the forces with stripped and made to kneel on a street to northern garza, they'd been taking refuge at to you and run schools and dates law. here with this time elise, these riley army took them to an undisclosed location. some have since been released as well, says that being interrogated, 4 possible links to hum us. we are talking about individuals who are apprehended in jamalia and showed how most strongholds and senses of gravity were
6:03 pm
talking about military age. men who were discovered in areas but civilians were supposed to have evacuated weeks ago. we've been calling for an evacuation of those ha strongholds in order to locate the home us october 7th, monsters with minimal home to civilians. now those individuals will be questioned and we will work out who indeed was a, how most terrorist and who is not. so let's start with the united nations security council meeting by the discussing those quotes for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. and garza, i'm joined now here in the studio biologist. there is diplomatic edits, a james based james. always good to have you in. so 1st of all, let's start with the obvious basic one. what exactly is in this resolution? as far as we know, well, we know exactly what is in because there is obtained a copy of a very short resolution. the key part is this. the security council did months and immediate humanitarians, the spa,
6:04 pm
that also demanding that old policies comply with the obligations on the international law, including international humanitarian law, demanding the meet your non conditional release of hostages, as well as ensuring humanitarian access. and it requests the secretary general to reports the counseling note, and i'm continuing basis. very simple resolution, but of course it's going to be controversial. we think was than that because of that 1st line you're right out there. so that's come to the obvious. next question is the us going to veto it if it's cooling for an immediate humanitarian? seeing as far as something that much of the rest of the world's diplomat seemed to be on board with? yeah, let me tell you what dick security council diplomats all gathering in the council chamber right now. now what we were expecting was the council meeting to take place . listen to all of the council members of to the secretary general loan, but he's invoked this article 99, which is his power, his emergency alarm, and the un charnessa when he says somebody, so serious the security council must take attention to it. and he is also called
6:05 pm
for a few amount of time and see spa engulfed. so we were expecting that meetings take place and then immediately off the woods, this vote on the resolution that i've just read to you. what we're hearing now from different sites is not be scheduled yet by the security council, but the 2nd meeting for the vote is now going to be moved in to it, about 7 and a half hours from now. why is that? it's because there's also a meeting going on in washington dc reading. the reason to saw him fall in minnesota is from regional countries meeting with the us secretary of state and state blinking. and they are going to be trying, i think, to persuade secretary of state blinking not to veto this resolution. i'm not, i know it's a, but if you were to guess where this is going with your from that is off and on the you ends pulse. is there much hope that they can turn around lincoln's position on this. so they need to do it around blinking and button on this. blinking sydney has
6:06 pm
been increasingly making comments, including in the press conference with the u. k. 4 and psychiatric david cameron about israel not doing enough to protect civilians bought all along. this administration has said israel has the right to defend itself and they've supported israel's campaign. and israel's aim, which it says is to destroy a mouse. and certainly the wood at the when the, the us and basset has been out of town. she's been traveling in africa, but from the, from one of her deputies is that they don't see a, this is a moment when the security council should take action. so it's looking like they will probably use the veto invest. that could be a last minute change of home around in that meeting. i'm glad you mentioned the us and best of it to the you. and because if we think back to a year ago as i'm sure you know jane some covering the you and the us ambassador to the you and then the thomas greenfield had a very different narrative to say when she at that time for us was trying to get
6:07 pm
the security council to adopt the resolution to protect civilians. but this time in you crime that's listening. remind ourselves of what she had to say. we've seen reports of attacks on kindergartens and often that just the baby's newborn babies in an intensive care unit have been evacuated into make shift bomb shelters to we have a solemn obligation to not look away. the people of ukraine will soon need food and water, and shelter, and medical aid, they will face displacement and lose everything there. all right, we have to take you now to the 2nd of the security council. let's do this and then for one sec for general is saying i have devastating consequences. we anticipate. that's what the results in the complete breakdown of probably called of the i mean groups but a shot for mess displacements into egypt. i see the consequences could be devastating
6:08 pm
for the security of the entire region. we have already seen the spillover in the occupied westbank, lebanon, syria, eoc, and demon. that is clearly my view, a serious risk of aggravating existing steps to the maintenance of international peace and security. the risk of collapse of the military and system is fundamentally linked through the complete lack of safety and security for all the stuff in gaza. and with the nature of the intensity of community said your patients, we just see it. we lead me think of sex 2 people in desperate need the steps to the safety and security safety not to play some stuff even gaza is unprecedented . more than 100 certainty of michael leaks, they've already been killed many with their families. this is the largest single
6:09 pm
loss of life in the history of all organization. some of all stuff takes. they have children to work. so they know they relieves or die together. a colleague, zip shelves, are breaking messages from staff members leaving for help the and the secretary general of the department of safety and security as advise me the all possible means of meet the gaping, the risk to stop with the in gaza sharp, to evacuate sion of close loss because of the way this conflict as the volts. i cannot emphasize strongly enough, that the wind is totally couldn't meet the state, and they leave us for the people of casa. and i paid tribute to the documentary teddy and they worked good who remain committed to that work despite is not as
6:10 pm
dangerous to that house and that lives. but the situation is simply becoming untenable, because him called him resolution 2712 and i quote for the scaling up of the provision of such supplies to me a few minutes at the needs of the civilian population, especially children and quote. i deeply regret to inform the call to that the code on the conditions on the grounds, the so fuel month of these mandates is become impossible. the conditions for the effective delivery of humanitarian aids no longer exists. the crossing points at the last was not designed for the end of stocks and these major bottleneck. but even if sufficient supply is what it means, eating through gaza, intense bombarded month rental steel, it, this is really restrictions on movements. fuel shortages and the interrupt is
6:11 pm
communications. make it impossible for you and agencies on that particular storage . most of the people in need is between city and 5 december the 2 days, but the ceiling, my laptops, view and cool only this table. it's a the one of the guys that 5 because i know that it's dropped off elsewhere, excess was impossible. people are desperate few to food and then getting into some cases they have expressed that and go towards our own stuff. we still presidents. all these big splice me this by the link. you might, it's area nights mass. first, there is no effective protection of civilians. more than $17000.00 palestinians have reportedly being killed since the sotheby's valves. me to tell you what preparations this includes,
6:12 pm
more than $4000.00 women and $7000.00 children. tens of thousands of the parts attributing judith and many are missing, presumably a durable and all these numbers are increasing by the de effects from f land and sea. adding dense continues and wide spreads so far. they have reportedly hid city, end of the $39.00 education facility. these 26 hospitals, 56 else, get facilities, 88 mosques and city churches. over 60 percent of guys as housing is reportedly being destroyed, lot of damage subsidy and the 1000 policies and the apartments some 85 percent of the population that being forced from that owns the people of guys are being told to move like human pin balls are equal shifting between that much smaller sleep mode as of the sauce without any of the basics for survival. but
6:13 pm
nowhere in gaza is safe. at least 88 old to a shelter, it'd be neat feelings over 270 people. and including over $900.00 it's the conditions in sheltered us out over all the ins and sydney, sadie. people loves open moons and the people stand in line for hours to use. when charlotte, on the toilets, families, we have lost every seeing sleep on bad concrete, flotas, wedding, globes. they have not changed for 2 months. tens of thousands of palestinians arrived being dropped 5 business days, overwhelming shouts, as vast. merry despises families including children, all the people pregnant and treatment, and people with disabilities sleeping in streets and public spaces across the seats is the president's seconds johnson's. i don't think all the foods according to the
6:14 pm
world sleep program, there is a serious risk of starvation. and so i mean, you know them guys, a 97 percent of households. i'm not eating enough in the sauce. the figure that amount to displace people is 83 percent of the people of the knots and more than one side of the displaced people in the sauce of simply starting the rest, the zone foot stocks running out in the not 9 out of 10 people have to spend at least one full day in my 2 adults foods. the last functioning florida museum, the guys that was the steroids. on 15 november, douglas b as provided food and the cash assistance to ended as of thousands of people across garza seems because has begun. and these are ready to scale up it's so patients, however, that's what the required, effective access to all people the needs. and that's least 40 bucks of food
6:15 pm
supplies every day. many times the code and the level use the president's cert, garza l system is collapsing. why leads that escalating at least one bit of these 6 else? what could have been cubes? a hospital, zip, suffert's, heavy bombardments just for the north of city 6 are still functioning if these city are providing basic 1st tabs while the others are delivering bottle services. butyllithium guys are all spits all one of the 2 main hospitals in solomon guys, the city 170 beds. if he's got into the housing 1000 patients and then estimated 70000 people seeking shelters that are critical shortages of blogs, blog products, and medical supplies. fuel to them, the hospitals, the cvb durations, many patients are being creative on the floor of the adults anesthetics. this
6:16 pm
patients with live set up new injuries continued to rise, waterside overflowing and stuff over whelmed. at the same time then sending steady conditions in shelters and see if you have sort of food and lots of leading tween preexisting respiratory infections, scabies, zombies and diarrhea. every seeing i just describes the presents and, and presidents, it situations left the lab to my end. but it's a dense of decisions we invoke every single $99.00 edging. the members of this includes the gold c o 2 press to avert that humanitarian catastrophe. and the billing for humanitarian ceasefire to be the flat is the president. we are all aware of that easily. i'll be gone. it's me to tell you will patients in response to the brutal federal effects and least by hamas and the policy in and i'm
6:17 pm
groups on 7 on the top of i and reserve really condemned those effects. and i'm appalled by the reports of sexual violence, as there is no possible justification for deliberately killing someone another 1000 . so some $1200.00 of people, including such he said the city children in shooting thousands more and taking hundreds of hostages. some one of the said the also do is i'll see what all the captives and i called for that immediate, then conditional release as well as the united states, mountains visits somebody in special community that have cut offs and seeing the feeds at the same time. the fallacy perpetrated by miles can never justify the collective punishment of the policy and people and why least could mean a truck, it's fine to, to buy a mazda into israel, and the use of civilians as human shields out in content eventually with the laws of war, such as going back those most of souls,
6:18 pm
israel on its own violations. international humanitarian law includes the ability to protect civilians and to comply with the principles of distinction, proportionality, and capacity. the laws of war also the man that's easier than the central needs must be met. improving by facilities facing any delivery, every manufacturing release in for the last. so you made it said in law cannot be applied selectively. is binding on all policies equally at all times. and you'll be gratian to upset if it does not depend on reciprocity. is the president's the people of guys that are looking into this international community, most of the, wherever they seem possible. and that all view ayers of accounts who subscribe, no effort to push for an immediate, to manufacture these fire, for the protection of civilians. and for the items the liberty of life saving age.
6:19 pm
why do we deal with the cut on sizes? we cannot flo sorry, it's of the only viable possibility for the peaceful future. it's a 2 state solution on the basis of united nations resolutions are these rational law with israel and palestine leaving side by side in peace and security. this is why it seemed for these valleys, palestinians, and for the international peace and security, the eyes of the world and the eyes of history are watching. it's time to act as i thank you. all right, and then i'll pull up the material that's getting pretty much it will cover. of course, you know for is briefing the order for now. i don't know if she wrote for the the files are all in front of the receipt of gallstones running out of food. the warning that from the un secretary general went on to speak of a serious risk of starvation and famine. let's listening now to the
6:20 pm
representative of a state of palestine speaking van that use. and then the fact of having this agreed to the gym or with us for his principal position, reflected in that letter that he circulated to you recently. and for his crystal clear, unprincipled statement that to you believe that plus the steps to create that a john, thank you for being with us and thank you for what you said. and thank you for hopefully the things that will be implemented from this moment. moving forward with colleagues is the president you are the 3rd president of the security council to take office since it started it's carpet bombing of the gaza strip. we hope that on this day and under your presidency, the council would finally be able to code for an immediate cease to allow me to
6:21 pm
sign the secretary general for his the relentless efforts for the clarity of his voice for having a pen. his sacred mission to stand up for the un charter and for the protection of civilians by calling early on and of a sense for an immediate humanitarian sees what allow me also to sank through him the united nations for their humanitarian efforts. the u. n. has been the subject of despicable attacks for honoring its mandate as formulated by miss by member states. it is the duty of member states to reject and put an end to such attacks, especially at a time where are you in person on the ground are also victims. many can
6:22 pm
wounded and displaced mister president. in 2 months it has killed 17000 philistines, including 7000 killed it. it wounded over $40000.00 palestinians. it displays 1900000 palestinians. it destroyed to, instead of their homes. it at that bc's sent, destroyed, and utilize virtually all the hospitals. it bombed the bakeries. it's that, that you and charlotte, that's it. at that you'll notice it cut off the electricity. it plays every possible impediment. and who many terry and a and access. and we are all supposed to pretend that this aggression is not aimed at the destruction of the palestinian people in the gaza
6:23 pm
strip. when it has been seized, unbound our people, and deprived them of all the court requirements of life. i keep reading in the media. is it a it has no clear to what objectives are we supposed to pretend? we don't know. the objective is the estimate, cleansing, of the guys a strip the this position or force of the unforeseeable displacement over the palestinian people when so money is ready to present that this could not refrain from admitting it if you are against the destruction and displacement of the palace team and people you will have to be in favor of an immediate cease, but when you refuse to call for a cease fire, you are using to go on for the only thing that can put an end to war crimes,
6:24 pm
crimes against humanity and genocide. this is how is it a is conducting the war through atrocities you can keep going on it to put it that civilians to uphold the laws of war. to allow you monetary on a and it will keep delegating with you for the new forcing you to discuss the number of trucks. why the people still cannot get food? water medicine, it will keep telling you if people only he did, it's called to head south. they would have been save. why the bombing them in the south? it said it's a now telling you it is creating imaginary save zones while it continues getting people everywhere. it will explain to you that all of god is
6:25 pm
a military target. that everyone in guys that can be killed since they are either dead honest or human shields. enough is enough. they are playing games with you, and they're taking you for a ride. and you need to wake up and see what the other t as is. if 2 months of the human ization lies, unless it goes out, i'm not enough to make you understand. is there any of these plans? what with regardless of how good your intentions are, how genuine your efforts are. this is the moment of truth. as the secretary general correctly stated, few minutes ago, the shame is not on those calling for a cease fire in the face of such atrocities it haunts those refusing to do so. so that it is objective is clear,
6:26 pm
it is to force people out on the regardless of many times, some say it will not happen. every thing going fams we where arise from day one. we told you they will make guys live up in for own that they will display the people that they were pushing themselves and killing them in the process. and that eventually they would launch a foot sledge at that on the south to push people out. when fats show we are right, no one showed better assist in saying they could somehow allow this war to continue, but be against it's 2 objectives of this war is bought of the assault to end the palestinian people as a nation and to destroy the question of palestine,
6:27 pm
if you do not share this subjective, you must then again slower. the patterson leading this assault would sacrifice the palestinian people. and the is the only people for his political set, a fixed set of my ven and is s one enemy of the 2 state solution. his entire life has been dedicated to the net, to the elation over the palace team and people in peace. he has been searching for an opportunity to put a definitive, an end to the national aspirations of the palestinian people and to the aspirations for peace among palestinians and israelis. this is nothing. yeah. how is your this is the war of the extreme escalation info on and is that i and no one
6:28 pm
should get stuck into it any further. it's am is not security. it's a, is to prevent part of a prospect of palestinian independence of peace. these intentions are clear in the gaza strip, as well as in the westbank including east jerusalem. no one should pretend there is any question regarding the criminal nature of this assault. no one should pretend that those launching the bombs everywhere get up own about people and captive. no one should pretend that this war is not a good thing. how much wouldn't almost all its victims of civilians when 70 percent of those killed women and children. mister president, as we have hostages added by as an, as
6:29 pm
a means to terrorize and pressure on our people killed the woman, men of all ages by the thousands, including these days, those of doctor in gods that cumulated and painted in the streets almost naked. we have 2000000 hostages in the gods. us to have a lot of civilians have been attacked repeatedly. our security and oh, our very existence is under threat. are we allowed to do? what is the end? does the law should be a parent for everyone and against anyone? the same law that protects all civilians life. there is no hierarchy of races or face autumn nationalities. no one should take example from
6:30 pm
the heart or as of the 2nd world war to justify hold orders today against the palestinian people. everything we built as humanity of them. the 2nd world war was to prevent these holders. now they are taking place in gaza against the palestinian people, displays on the screens displayed on the screams of the entire war and the war criminals conducting it have no shame. and instead of being blamed are blaming everyone else attacking everyone. the said correct, that a gentleman who is upholding his 2nd mission, who is standing by the un charter. they are attacking states who are refusing to be complicit with such crimes, including that all ice in there on attacking you on
6:31 pm
a visions that you and the agencies. and you might have dirty and human rights organizations performing the duty in the most impossible of circumstances. they are bullying intimidating, all those who's done for the international. no. because they believe there is an international law specific to them that allows them to commit atrocities. how can this be allowed to continue? it's con, shouldn't it has to stop is the expect exceptionalism as to and it has to and now stop pre writing international load to fit. is there any crimes on stop coding for respect for the international law while supporting an assault that has torn it into shreds?
6:32 pm
the pattern seen and people would love die and silence the palace, the email people will not die in vain. the banners, do you know people does that respect every people does, but we have and that we have paid the heaviest price to and that we have set in mind every attempt to nearly us. oh, but essentially with barely any means show us with respect, not in wards, but indeed show us the respect to all our lives, to our rights. this is a moment in history. one where everyone will be asked where they stood and that will determine who they truly are and what they really stand for. the entire international law allies on one premise,
6:33 pm
nothing justifies atrocities. a. this is a process of the assault when phased with a process. these, it is not your right to code for them to, and it is your obligation to end it. save lives, save lives, save our lives and their lives. the, the code by billions are on the word by an overwhelming majority of states from across the globe. the most noble human instincts got us. the instinct, better to present of life. there is no wrong, more important than for this concert, then to save civilian lives. 2.3000000 us the nuns out of fighting for their lives as we speak every single day. save them. 10
6:34 pm
of them show them head is on the way. we call a new in the name of humanity, in the name of justice, in the name of peace, to vote for a c is bought out of by support thing that is in the ocean presented by the united auto payment it. as up representative on the security concept, we found all those costs funds, setting it from across the globe. what is happening in palestine now? and what will happen next? what are the, tell them in the future? or the reason for getting that issue is to come with the impact to relations and pet sections across the world for the generations to come. this is time for cottage and decisiveness. this is time for action. this time, this is time. it time is up and you need to act and you need to up know and thank
6:35 pm
you mr. president. the eclipse, the minutes. it was over the observer state of palestine for a statement and i will give the floor to the representative of israel. thank you mister president. mister president, recently the world has witnessed brutal wars and blood jets nearly 2 years ago. peace was up and that in europe for the 1st time since world war 2 rush things they did ukraine and the entire globe has felt the impact food prices and their energy prices surge, affecting countries everywhere. supply chain suffered a hard to hit, and the chance for a global war became a terrifying possible reality. yet shockingly, article 99 was not invoked. the same can be said regarding the thousands
6:36 pm
cube in yemen or how the murderous a sudden regime of syria continued domestic care, its own people, including through the use of chemical weapons in each one of these conflicts. and i have other examples tens, if not hundreds of thousands were killed and millions were displaced. yet not once, not even once has arctic a 99 of the un charter been invoked. is the war in ukraine, not a threat to international peace and security. due to millions of display syria and the children whose corpses were filed foaming at the mouth in duma. not symbolize the threats to region of stability is watching thousands of yeah, many children dying war, well, tens of thousands of star, not worthy enough to invoke article 99 to despite the man's global
6:37 pm
impact of other conflicts and far more pressing threats to international peace and security is or as defensive, it was war against come us, a designate the terrorist organization was the catalyst for activating article $99.00. the i run these, the region on stability and the security of both these riley's and god's ends can only be achieved once a month is eliminated, not one minute before. so the top pass to ensure peace is only through the support thing is rise mission. absolutely not to call for a ceasefire. and secondly, distinguished colleagues. for those of you calling for a ceasefire, it is crucial that you remember the effect. on october 6, there was a ceasefire in place, but the daughter, 7th, come us broke the ceasefire with an unprovoked invasion of thousands of come us not
6:38 pm
sees into israel. these come us terrorists carried out the mess, secured the likes of which we have not seen since the holocaust, they raped women and girls be headed babies breton families alive and took $250.00 hostages, ranging from incense to the elderly following the atrocities of october 7th is ready to committed itself to the illumination of commerce as capabilities for the sole reason of ensuring that such horrors could never be repeated again. and you've come us, he's not destroyed such horrors will be repeated. how much the officials have made it clear publicly. timing again that the daughter 7th was just the rehearsal and they will continue to carry out the atrocities again and again. or how much is responsible for in humane terror? against these riley's commodities responsible for ruling garza with an iron fist
6:39 pm
forcing god's ends to live in poverty, deprived of basic human rights. how much is responsible for exploiting international a to fuel their war machine and calling for a ceasefire is precisely what the ensures that this will continue. a ceasefire means that the suffering of all will carry on a cease fire, cement, come mazda is control of guys a, but even more than that, calling for a cease fire, send a clear message. the come us is forgiven for their deliberate atrocities. and how much is a pressuring of god's is given a green light by the international community? come on like any other entity, only responds like any tara entity only responds when its existence is threatened, and without the military pressure applied, don't come us. no amount of diplomacy can secure the release of hostages.
6:40 pm
is this what the council desires? the problem must continue. it's reign of terror forever. the hostages among the women and children never leave garza how much one even permits the red cross to visit them. how much is a clear script? if you called for a ceasefire, then you are following it. how much knows that it cannot defeat is red on the convention of battlefield. this is why some us targets the murder and murder of civilians they seeks to terrorize these rallies and drive us out of our homeland in fear. but how much is vicious strategy is also to advance the depth of many gods and civilians as well. this is why come us hides behind and under the civilian population. this is why they use hospitals for cover. and schools as arms catches, including honor of schools, come us wants to maximize civilian casualties. to grow up,
6:41 pm
the you want to pressure is read to seize its fire and allow come us to survive and continue its reign of terror. how much know the more civilian fatalities there are, the more pressure the international community will put on these red. this is why come us also fabricate that's pools, which are taking it fast at face value here, with no real efforts made by the un to verify them. according to the homeless ministry of health, almost no terrorists have been killed in this war. only women and children. this is the same body that falsely blamed this dreadful 500 casualties at an awfully hospital with the trophies, the number of casualties was drastically lower and full of seeing any stomach do you had was the one responsible for the fatalities. i will be very clear, their colleagues, the number you are basing, your discussions on our libel,
6:42 pm
this and distorted drastically. how much is billed tara base is inside and underneath medical facilities, they says been proven. they store rockets and assault rifles in children's bedrooms . and just yesterday, from us launch 12 rockets, it is ran from within a designated humanitarian zone. in southern gaza, the rockets were fired me meters from the 10s of evacuated gardens come as exploits of guidance as human shields in the hopes that civilian casualties will rise and the un, we'll call for a cease fire. do we want to be the actors in this show? the mazda has carefully crafted. it is always easier to pressure the lower binding democracy, as opposed to the terrorists who don't even recognize the existence of international law. but these, this the rights and just wait to insure security. of course not. this is how much
6:43 pm
the script of death don't agree to be part of it. please come us, is the root cause of the situation in gaza, yet there is 0, a come to accountability for their evil. why is how much not held fully responsible by the un any to bodies tell doesn't the truth. they have, they have to hear it from you. this is the only way to bring about bottom up change in gaza. your colleagues come us not only violate the cease fire on october 7th, how much fundamentally violated the recent humanitarian pause. last week there was a pause in place. the agreement was clear for every 10 hostages released the pause would be extended by 24 hours. hundreds of 8 trucks entered guys, fuel 10 curves were and continued to be permitted doing. when the children and
6:44 pm
their families were evacuated for treatment failed, the hospitals were established and continued to be established. and israel completely halted on military activities. is there a asked for the daily release of 10 women and children held hostage or savagely taken from their homes and from a peace party? us, why do we upheld our sides of the agreement? even exceeded 8 quarters. come us violate the date, not once, but several times. 15 minutes after the pause began so much fire. the beverage of rockets into is read throughout the following 8 days. how much carried out shooting good tags that donated i these and fired and type a tank missed those come as violated the pause time and again while is read, abided by the pause come on, not only violated the agreement by attacking his rarely soldiers, they also violated the agreement regarding the release of hostages,
6:45 pm

6:51 pm

6:52 pm
peace and security in the region must understand that the only way to achieve this is by destroying. come us not by calling for seeds fire, which will only extend the war and suffering of all. there is no other option. thank you, mr. president. i quarter percent done these little push with let us you center visitor for the neighborhood from say hook, now's even the floor. and i've seen this the council members who wished to make statements and then up a load. i'll give the floor celebration sounds to me that the representative of the united arab emirates. thank you mister president. the true policy, the pooled pace is to support israel. the statement that of the is riley representative to the united nations. he went on to say a seas find means extending the suffering of war to that continues, endlessly in normandy. well he's, well it's fall. of course,
6:53 pm
a very different line from the palestinians are for representative to the united nations of a mr. prince of clear coal to the security council saying, save lives, save lives, he'd that cool by billions around the world has, you must, in the name of humanity, vote for a sci fi to. and that also followed a strong statement by the secretary general in which the or just towards the end of his address of how sad he urges the council to spend no effort to push for an immediate humanitarian sees far for the protection of civilians. he noted that god and the council cold and resolution to 712 there and for the scaling off of provisions. thought that under the current conditions on the ground, the fulfillment of the mandate is become impossible. let's take this now to kristin salumi. she has the latest from the united nations. i guess the big question now
6:54 pm
kristen is. what will we hear from the deputy us and back to the, to the united nations? i think you've been chatting with him, give us a feeling that counsel at when the see don, god, well, all eyes are on the united states and whether or not they will support for their council action stuff as requested by the secretary general. and i did get to speak to the us deputy ambassador to the united nations on the way and, and it was clear from his comments that the us position has not changed. and she said that the united states still believes that the best way to get more aide into gaza is through quiet negotiations, which he told me are ongoing as we speak with israel and other partners in the region. this, as the secretary general took this unprecedented step of putting the call for a cease fire on the councils agenda. but of course it takes
6:55 pm
a council vote to actually implement that ceasefire. and i can tell you that the diplomatic efforts here at the united nations have been incredibly intense. we had the secretary general yesterday on the phone speaking to the secretary of state, anthony blank, and from the anthony blinking from the united states, the u. k. 4 administered, jordan, egypt cots are all of the players in the region. we have diplomacy going on behind the scenes here at the united nations. but given the so far, resistance of the united states to further action, we're also seeing that a potential vote on the resolution that's been circulated that would establish the humanitarian cease fire is being delayed to later in the afternoon. possibly till next week we heard the french in bassett, or before the meeting saying, look, there's no sense in having a vote. if we're not going to pass anything,
6:56 pm
we need to be united. we need to have a common vision. we need to continue the negotiations that says to me and so many here that there is not a possibility of the resolution as it now stands going forward. despite the despair that we're hearing from him out of terry ends who themselves are not safe and gods and from you and workers who themselves are not say in gaza. and despite the plea from the secretary general himself that email to terry in law is being breached. and that further instability to the region seems imminent. all right, thanks so much. kristen salumi down. they thing us from the united nations as continue this here in the studio. of course we have, i'll just say it was diplomatic editor james basie is a james as pick up on a lot of the things. so some of the things that was said, the 1st of all, the comment from the is riley diplomat. that basically accusing the security council, if not the secretary general,
6:57 pm
some double standards here. why was on school 99? nothing vote for ukraine. the m a know what happened in syria? yeah, i mean this is something that's been invoked by the secretary general. he's not done it before in his time, and in fact, formally invoking, this hasn't happened. it's the alarm bell and the bench off to the us about sounding a document hasn't happened since 1989, but just go through those cases. he said wasn't involved in a syria, it wasn't that booked in yemen, syria will that started in 2011. yes. a lot of people type has been going on very long time. not just 2 months. if you haven't, the will of 102014 again, very huge desktop, but not just in 2 months and then ukraine, the civilian deaths. so we've got 7000 children who been killed in gauze and there's nothing like that. number of it listening to a series of un officials. i've been talking about how the situation in gaza is simply unprecedented. i think we're hearing this in that lights of from phillip lots of evening. yeah. today. and so, so, so the secretary general is reading his alarm bell in the you and charlie,
6:58 pm
which is the article $99.00. mister eliza reni has written this letter that i have here, which he's written this to the general assembly. the other big board involved on the body of, of, of the united nations. and that's because when, under his, his organization was set up in 1949 is actually set up by a general assembly resolution. so he's now written this less to which he says, force displacement types of as of may and prospects for the political solution. this intrinsic to unrest, mandate with grave risk, regional peace and security. a force displacement beyond published a new land reminiscence of the 1940 and not but must be prevented in my 35 years working in complex emergencies. i've never written such a letter predicting the killing of my stuff and the collapse of the mandate. i'm expected to fulfill a really very, very strong letter and he's now asking the un general assembly to meet to come up with the resolution. according for an image, it says rob, this is a total clearly
6:59 pm
a lot of if i shows the gaza is, is unprecedented, is different, much more intense. then you probably know some of the other scenarios that the diplomat there from israel was referring to. you just have to look at the numbers. i mean it's, it's amazing that the, that the israeli ambassador, who actually was a little measured at this time is because previous speech, it has been cooling for this text or general design. i think he thinks couple property things, comments like that, mike back file when he's go to vote, coming up in just 6 and a half hours. but he said you can't trust the numbers of the people who died. he said the un should be verifying these numbers. how does he expect you install off a 100 and study you and stuff themselves have been killed on the ground with this comes to bump up with how does expect you and stuff to try and verify these numbers . i mean a really amazing comments from all right. well, talking about the accusations of double standards of coal. so there is a lot of criticism about double standards of the us. now if we look back to what
7:00 pm
the us and bass of the, to the united nations had to say a year ago when the us in that situation was trying to get the security council to adopt a resolution. and was worried about a russian veto resolution to protect civilians. but this time in ukraine had a very different line out of the us. that's listening to what linda thomas greenfield had to say. you lost the, as we've seen reports of a tax on kindergartens and often that just babys newborn babies in an intensive care unit have been evacuated into make shift bomb shelters to we have a solemn obligation to not look away. the people of ukraine will soon need food and water, and shelter, and medical aid. they will face displacement and lose everything they've worked to build for these reasons.
