2:02 pm
correspondent to ellen, special. he's joining his line from occupied east jerusalem allen. what do we know about this man and the circumstances around his death as well as all codes, some very diplomatic language, but you can understand that the friends are concerned, they hi, this man who worked for the french foreign ministry since 2002. but his family had gone back to france during the fighting, and he decided that he would, with some of his colleagues, take refuge in a residential building while there was an attack on rough. i know you'll remember that the french just last week voted for a c spy in israel and guys a bit to calling on israel to stop the fighting. i, i essentially the work. there was one of the eyes and ears on the ground and he could report back to potus on exactly what was happening and guys of what he was seeing. what he was experiencing. this was,
2:03 pm
i witness testimony that the french could absolutely 100 percent stand behind. but while they're, the agent was in the residential building, it came under attack from the, as bailey's and he was very badly wounded any later died from his injuries. no. clearly the french what answers they want to know, why this happened, and why a residential building in gaza was targeted by these really. so the french government pressing is rolled out at the same time that there was more pressure on the method now who coalition internally as more depth of his resources and reported that for many that this has been the worst nightmare that, that they continue to see losses of soldiers as the fighting continues in gaza and there's certainly a body of support against calling in favor of calling a hole to the war for the time being to try and free as many of the captives being
2:04 pm
held in guys as they can. and that voice is certainly going, but we've heard from benjamin netanyahu. it is we into a cabin meeting in tell of even the last couple of hours, what he said, that they would receive everything from uh, security services about how the war is progressing. but almost in response to the was calling for a ceasefire for the time being. he read said that he would receive letters from families of soldiers who died in gaza. and they were insisting that he continues to fight the war nobles had from benjamin netanyahu. he says that the war could last for at least a couple of more months in the phase. it's in the moment before it moves to a much lower intensity. so it appears that despite the pressure he's under intentionally, he's continuing to stay the course he believes will lead to victory for israel or adam. thank you very much for that. this alan especially with the laces, live and occupied east jerusalem. and as well being proportions is there any prime
2:05 pm
minister is on the rise in prussia by the families of captives who have been demanding talks with him off to secure their release. the smith reports from sort of a very sphere, frustration, and mounting on your head amongst the relatives of the captives still held by how much every day that passes. he's a danger to their lives. i was there. my daughter was there, do not to bend into hostages. we must ask no, as a deal. these are required today. bring them all. wow. the accidental killing of 3 captives by israel to military shops, the country. the man emerged from a building in northern gauze or waving a white flag according to a preliminary military investigation. the 2 soldiers still open fire figuring it was a trump that's against protocol. the military also says to scenario itself of hostages
2:06 pm
. walking around in the bottles zone was never taken into account. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the killing of the captive broke his heart. the nation sought. but he defended the military's prosecution of the war against thomas . the 5th, we will learn and apply the lessons with all deep, so i want to make it clear. the military pressure is necessary both for the return of the tease and for achieving victory over our enemy. without the military pressure, we would not have been able to create a deal to release more than $100.00 hostages, and only further military pressure will lead to the return of all our hostages. the killing of the 3 captives seems to force the war cabinet to see if it can reach a new deal with how much earlier then it had wanted to the head of most side on cast as prime minister met in your on friday evening. according to security sources
2:07 pm
and a gyptian security source, they say these really seem to be more willing to work towards the sea spot and an exchange of prisoners, israel's war cabinets, and wanted to wait until the military. but we can time us before we start from negotiations, but those funds have had to change. good smith, i'm just telling me there's been a scramble for aid. these off of crossing between garza and egypt, the cost on is the only entry point for age and the gaza at the moment that you and says hunger levels across this supp has filed and the sundays telecommunication lines and dogs are having damaged. and this is only complication queue, monetary and operation. well, that's bringing model on the shadow. he's all just 0 senior political analyst and really dramatic pictures from the off of mind. one which once again highlight, you know, we keep talking about the die, a humanitarian situation. in gaza for over 2 months now. and those pictures really remind us once again of how desperate people are. yes, absolutely,
2:08 pm
and it's been more than 10 weeks. the collective punishment continues unabated. and the report that i've read is that the, they've got communication this time or on longer than ever before. so not only are they starving people and denying them food, medical, clean watts of electricity and communication, the bombing also continues. and now we hear that, you know, some foreigners are such as the french complain. today's right, is that why are the 2nd was natural buildings? yeah, i was going to ask you about the french martin foreign minister saying that israel has to shed light on why they targeted this residential building. but for the 60, well, it was 60 percent of residential buildings and garza had been completely destroyed . and i really, one doesn't know where that one should laugh or cry,
2:09 pm
or cry or laugh at the fact that, that, i mean, the french foreign minister is actually a very intelligent person. you know? so she wouldn't just say that like that, you know, but you would wonder if weston officials are video original me or? i mean, you know, sometimes we think that's uh, european officials are just kind of smart or closer to the situation and the mediterranean. and then the american concept parts more sophisticated. so you know, they have, they have a longer history. yeah. they have longer history and the region, they are the for more colonialists and they are in proximity to the region. but when you hear the foreign minister say, wait a minute, why are you? what are you bombing, residential buildings when israel has been bombing presidential buildings and hospitals and schools and that them place for the past and what then weeks, you wonder why i but then you also read the foreign ministers of the u. k. the
2:10 pm
british foreign minister, his highness, the former prime minister, and the german 4 ministers. and again, the absolutely delusional people, though he these 4 ministers, right? they, after 7 weeks of non stop bombings that failed to defeat thomas. they are still talking about eventually, especially in vcs higher, but we cannot do it now, but have, because how much has to be defeated? what's the point in rising something like this? i think it's to 50 to more than anything else. i think i think that the losing though, and they want to tell their public opinion that they're actually doing something about something. but in fact, it is so delusional. there's a show that, i mean, it's just not in touch with reality, right?
2:11 pm
for the fact that the foreign ministers would say something like isn't you know, it's getting too many civilians and it was ok to can yeah. some civilians. so as i shouldn't have killed 18000, maybe i should have killed what? 1410 a. i don't mean to be suggested. i certainly don't mean to be cynical. i don't mean to just issue words. but honestly, you started with a question about, look about how dire the situation is. yeah. people in guys are suffering like no people have ever suffered before. in modern times that we know it's documented, it's in plain sight. the fact that we have now 3 or 4 ministers, i think absolute nonsense. why this genocide is under way following in the footsteps of that account. that part in washington really mix one's blood boils of the fact that they are insulting our intelligence as join us. their insulting,
2:12 pm
i want intelligence as observers that on something or those as intellectuals and academics, as people who are seeing the pictures and reported about the bombings of hospitals . yeah. and schools and churches that we've been reporting about, much of the day, of course, and most insulting to the people of gaza. of course, that is a senior political alice model. i'm to show the mother and daughter taken shelter inside a church in northern garza, have been killed by is ready, smites is the dose was killed while trying to carry her elderly mother to safety at the holy family. catholic church. there were only 800 about 800 christians left him garza as soon as the star of the war most having taken shelter inside churches to what questions in the gaza strip. our minority there are only about a 1000 left and 2007. there was 3000 father, gabrielle romaneli, is the parish priest of the holy family parish in gaza. he says,
2:13 pm
all the christians who remain a 135 of catholics, but denominations and gaza on strict on worship, as can attend several different churches. cushions have lived in garza since the 1st century. they thought to make up the oldest christian community in the world. and earlier we split for the head of the greek orthodox church here in dough. ha. he says christian communities and gaza field targeted the people. but there are refuge, no, i'm chosen inside the church or the as, as i know, they are the only civilian people. there are people that they lost their house. so they're asking a refuge to the church for them all of us through as the most safe light. ready but i'm the only place that they can stay because they are the houses that are adjust moines. i know those people that to my own
2:14 pm
community and all the neighbors of the other people that are civilians. there are no really to them often come us. but uh, uh, this is the picture that is uh, a different picture they have these well is, uh, this is what i'm looking at least 20 people have been killed and more than a 100 injured. and then as rainy as strike in the northern goss, this trip, or residential block, and the giovanni a camp has been targeted, which is captured biologist or do it. and it shows dozens of wounded people, including children being brought to a medical facility in giovanni, a post ons health minister, has called for an investigation of to the bodies of a least 20 people who are found in the courtyard of a medical facility officer and his riley raid was carried out at the come on at the one hospital in northern dasa, witnessed disabled as rand people or that during the siege. that last of several
2:15 pm
days tends to display civilians. but also crushed. challenges here has spoken to palestinians who say civilians would deliberately targeted whether wisdom, i don't even have the reading wisdom. i don't really matter. where is the international community? why are they so silent? we're trying to identify people who died. people were buried alive using bulldozers who couldn't do that. all those who committed this crime should be brought to justice and brought to the international criminal court. thousands of displaced individuals were smashed by bulldozers and buried. look at this person who was injured. he was crushed with a bulldozer. i'm amazed to see the silence of the international community. let's. let's go back to the scramble. so h a d is alpha crossing between gaza and egypt that crossing is at the moment the only entry point for
2:16 pm
a into gaza. the lens has hung the levels across the strip has filed in recent days . that's bringing on corresponding tiny my food. he is joining us live in rough up in southern gaza. and how do you have the of, of pushing from the gulf of 4 weeks now way you have been saying that 1000000 people from the gaza strip now in rafa. and they, as we can see in those pictures, a desperate for humanitarian aid of the yes, indeed, very desperate to humanitarian situations for a not only the residence of robot city here, but also for the 1000000 displays palestinians who and the quite a frankly, are becoming congress thursday and a traumatized as the the war is pounding them and more on a predictive. busy of bombs falling on their, on their home,
2:17 pm
destroying their residential homes and, and their infrastructure people. and, and this is very consistent with a report to, by the, by statement by the general deputy commissioner of bon or, well, who described that there was an admin on a star vision going on here. whatever the amount that has been lived in is not enough. is not enough for those who have been displaced, those who are hungry and thirsty and it just didn't do what we looked at. what happened people, it freed this war, lived in, in their homes. and they had everything that they needed to sustain them for it for every single day, but all the sudden now they are without anything, without a home, without the access to food, without access to water without access to medical supplies. and the scenes that we were, we're looking at there either from the, the videos or picture it just, it just a natural response. when people start when, when people are starved to death, when people are hungry, this is what we, what we will see happening. people try to survive, it's
2:18 pm
a survival mode right now. and how many of the people who have fled to ralph i have escaped to try to escape attacks from northern from central garza and one of the most targeted places in gaza as being the jabante of refugee camp in the north and the attacks that a continuing yes indeed, i know it's, it's not a stop. it has happened within the past few weeks. and since the beginning of this word is still continuing and, and, and what, what, what we were just describing in, in the, the, the, the k is the, when a human at 3 and a are coming in is a direct result of people to come in. this place there are more people to come and displays the fact that people to step outside their homes and, and let alone it is being destroyed. put them at this very situation. there are 20 people have been killed more than a 120 people have been critically injured as a result of a massive target. 1 explosion of an entire residential,
2:19 pm
the black engine value. this is not the 1st time developing the target. it has been targeted repeatedly more than any other place across the gaza strip. there more civilian or dying, more to them were women and the aftermath. more people are becoming hungry and this is what the, the, the result of what we're seeing, a tiny thank you very much for that. that is honey muscles. with the latest live and rough i and southern gaza, most foreign minister david cameron and the german foreign minister and lena bar bulk have called for sustainable seas fund and gaza. the payroll is a joint article for the u. k. sunday times and it, they say we must do all we can to pay the way to a sustainable sofa leading to a sustainable pace. the sooner it comes, the better the need is urgent is wrong, has the right to defend itself. but in doing so, it must abide by international humanitarian. he'll israel will not win this will if it's operations,
2:20 pm
destroy the prospect of peaceful coexistence with palestinians. too many civilians have been killed. that is where the government should do more to discriminate sufficiently between terrorists and civilians. and showing as campaign targets him off, leaders and offices. let's go who saw your guy go now she's joining us live from london. so is this a change actual sonya, in the bushes, ocean, the german position about the swell? what's behind this, this editorial as well, perhaps it's not so much a substantial change setting in the substance of what they have risen in this editorial. a very much echoes of certainly pos statements that the prime minister wishy su neck has even said before, where he has cooled for a humanitarian a to be brought into gaza as well. but a slight change in the tone and sent me a cooling for a sustainable ceasefire would mean that there is a very,
2:21 pm
very slight sort of change of, of, of the wording that they are choosing to try and describe to this as well. but the problem is that it's still reaffirming the old stops, is that they've had since the start of this conflict as well. what it is doing though, it is echoing certain sentiments that all being voiced out to washington d. c. with that has been growing concerned suddenly over the fact that so many minutes and yeah, who would seem to regard as the a none of the known by but it's the of a 2 state solution and maintaining that is well has to have the security control over dollars, and this is an extreme point of concern because of course one of the tenants that's being mentioned in this editorial is the fact that this, there is no other solution to this other than the 2 state solution. anything else to the rail that would deem any other sort of piece process to be really sort of dead in the water as well?
2:22 pm
so really they all, we are finding that objective stop to state solution as well. and also calling upon both sides and what they say is the extremism on both sides. they've said as suddenly and they said a tauriel that they see how much is a permanent roadblock to create and that sea state solution. but at the same time as well, they have given attention to the fact that the, the specialist in the westbank as well, also posed a issue of extremism as well. and it's something of that. so they both condense in this editorial. so really it's trying to shore up as much of that pressure as possible onto israel to not let go that. and of course, also keeping in mind that while washington dc would like to see a resolution of this conflict within weeks close to receiving statements by these ready defense minister that they predict that based conflict will roll on some months. and that's certainly not something that wishes to be seen either in washington, dc or in london. what sonya, thank you very much for that. that sonya guy who are joining us 9 from london.
2:23 pm
let's take you back to these live pictures that we're seeing from close to that off across it between gaza and egypt, where you can see how peaceful the and gaza are running off to trucks. which a carrying aid into gaza from egypt. that is the only entry point that is currently open into guys are the only entry point that aids can get into this trip from and of that last hour. so we have been looking at these pictures of people, absolutely desperate running off to a trucks. people who do not, and for move in a month now have not had enough food enough move. so it's very forces have killed 6 palestinians and other not raids in the occupied westbank. the latest operation took place near
2:24 pm

2:25 pm
the 1st project trial hit and they were a couple of members of the home resistance that were a hit. we understand that one was immediately killed. another one was seriously injured. and speaking to the gentleman who owns this house, it was saying that he heard a knock on the tool, which was by one of these injured members of the armed resistance. you can see the plot hit on on the floor. now, according to the owner of the house, his son came up, the stairs is from which there is still blogs and came up. they says to all of so the tool and as he opened the door, there was a 2nd strike. and that 2nd strike killed his son. now the son is around 30 years old and he has 4 children. and as you can see, family members,
2:26 pm
friends, members of the community all now waiting for the body to be brought from the hospital so that you can pay that last respects before he is taken to be batteries . but yeah, this was one of at least 2 strikes we understand using is really drugs now to come this way predict kansas long pain, the center for the arm resistance. and of course, the armor assistance is considered a legitimate form of resistance by the many thousands of people that live here and brought the way across palestine, resistance against the occupying power of that being israel. but there are around about 17000 people live in this camp. and they all facing rates like this pretty much every day. the roads not fall from here. it's been completely dug up by one of these is riley homage both of those. is there a number of businesses as well that we've seen that what we're role? so here we don't have numbers of those that were arrested. but as i say,
2:27 pm
this is happening on a daily basis now as turn to some of the news now and quite slice and made shake. now off of what else about who died on saturday, it has been buried ship. now i'm going to wait for 3 years, has hosp for the 83 year old conference check michelle level football has been named his successor. the country is observing for a few days of morning that you ends migration agencies as mold in the 60 migraines that presumed dead off to an accident of libya has caused a bose is believed to have hit high waves off just setting off on the water in northwest olivia, the international organization for migration says more than 2200 people have died this year trying to cross the mediterranean sea into europe. fighting between the sudanese army and the power mother, treat rapids support forces has reached the central city of why the mcdonny. thousands of people have been full to free their homes. many took refuge and the says even violence broke out from the catholics. one costume. more than 12000
