6:18 pm
present as a cut sock says his country is ready for a 2nd to humanitarian pull some gaza in order to secure the release of more as rarely captives. i can reiterate the fact it is. one is ready for another human and terry and pause in addition to your mind and tearing aid in order to enable the release of hostages and the, the, the responsibility lies fully with a scene while i'm the leadership of i'm us, i'm off is issued a statement saying it offends its position of cash and barclay rejecting any forms of negotiations about present an exchange on the continuing as why the genocide of will. however, it says we are open to any initiatives that contributes to ending the aggression and opening the crossings to bring an aid and provide relief to the palestinian people. that's bringing our correspondence and it's smith, he's drawing his life on kind of even been had folks indicated israel's ready to
6:19 pm
negotiate as prime minister netanyahu was set to meet families of captives. so yeah, it is a significant statement from a top of the 1st, really sort of public indication that momentum is moving towards the idea of some sort of pause or ceasefire. the question will be whether it is just about to pause the humanitarian pause, as he's riley's would call it or a full see spot netanyahu's meeting about. so between 15 and 19 families later this evening here and tell the families of captives, they say they asked for this meeting a week ago. and they've only just got it now. and they asked for it a week ago that was before those 3 captives were shot dead accidentally by 2 is riley soldiers. momentum just seems to be moving. um, but way we've also, we also know there's been meetings between the categories. these riley's on the americans in a couple of meetings in europe. uh since friday and on monday we understand that
6:20 pm
there's going to be a meeting in cairo in the coming days with some us representatives. and that'll be the 1st time that's been that sort of a meeting since the collapse of the 1st see 5 more than a couple of weeks ago. just so the families of captive set and keeping up the pressure on the israeli government. meanwhile, those really economy is taking a beating button and because of the war 600 workers from the is rarely a full authority, has been put on unpaid lee. what impact is this having on people's lives this as yeah, and there's a 1000 applewood because they're on 75 percent of the reduced they'll have to pay reduced, i'm sorry, by 75 percent. out of a 1000 jobs that, that been held by reserve is to see what now financing and gauze are those jobs not going to be filled up because people are not traveling to israel. and the apple is struggling because there's no capacity because there's no people know we're not
6:21 pm
coming to the country. i think there's about a 100 slides a day instead of 500 look tons the austin airlines and suite size i. val resume flights on the 8th of january, but only a 30 percent capacity because of reasons the traffic on the app was a hoping other people, other outlines, excuse me, will resume, will resume. but there's a significant impact on the call me about 5 percent of the of, of israel's gdp comes from aviation and towards coming into the country. all right, good. and thank you very much for that. that's been a smith live in tel aviv as we've been hearing the united nations security council, the set to hold a session on the war on gaza. they were expected to vote on a succession of hostilities later on tuesday to speak to our correspondent gabriel . and he's on though he's joining us live from the un headquarters in new york. so total cost $3.00. what we're expecting later today, gay is what we're expecting that the security council
6:22 pm
will be potentially voting on a u, a e draft resolution that has 2 key components to it, based on drafts that we have seen. and the key component to it is that it would call for a suspension of hostilities in the cause, a conflict there. uh, and also open up a monitoring mechanism that would allow potentially the united nations or other 3rd party to help facilitate the aid to get into gaza. the big picture of this is, this resolution is really focused on wrapping up the aid considerably into guys. if i land air and see that is really the key aspect of it, but of course to do that you can't have bombardment of a people. and so this resolution also calls for the suspension of hostilities. it's key because these negotiations are going on as we speak. uh because it's really the
6:23 pm
united states that is key here because of course they have veto power. and in the past they have not wanted to do anything that would limit israel's ability to continue their military operation in gaza. and so the language of this draft is very key and that's why we're focusing on suspension of hostilities because that could potentially leave open the opportunity for israel to resume. but pardon and perhaps after there was a potential pause. what gabe? thank you for that. that's gabriel. and he's on the who will be covering that voted for i live at the he, when that spring and james elder, he's the global spokes person for you. and he says, and he was recently in gaza. he's joining us on skype life from geneva. very good to see you again. mr. elder, you've been briefing the un about what you've seen in gaza. how would you describe the situation after 2 months of war? especially for children? it's the hot breaking on hot right?
6:24 pm
catastrophe. on catastrophe, elizabeth, we, we, we, we cannot follow the state now. so frequently i think that the do is say the apartments that we now know opinion, distributive bombardments, we now know the type of weapons being used as a fed into that indiscriminate nature. there is a reason why so many children have been chilled, thousands upon thousands is because of these indiscriminate nature of the attacks. and i'm very proud of area. what people i don't think of quite catch it in terms of the desperation. all those people in gaza is simply now the threat of disease. people it be nice to move 3 full time, strong, sort of told save songs that were anything but side to move zones. and this is lisa, lack of water and sanitation and with young children who are also already mountain each malnourished. then we have this perfect storm the disease. so right now that is,
6:25 pm
was the families of jobs. i saw the how railing round detroit and in june protect one another from have little control over the skies. they're starting to lose control of the disease on the ground. and mr. alba, you say the attacks have been indiscriminate. you will so called attention to statements by israeli officials of the army would focus on damaged on accuracy and that gauze of won't return to what it was before. we will eliminate everything. i'm closing here from what you've seen is as well deliberately targeting civilians. you know, i mean, i couldn't stay to that intent what, what, what, what do you use? what do you, what do you mentioned there was i believe in the speech to the, the votes having the words match or know mostly and we've heard so many since the speech has be made around that the, the south will know of the seas 5 broad to 2 weeks ago, the pools, the south wind up possibly in june, the fair ross city of attacks that occurred in the know, then we still absolutely that play out. absolutely. as for roses is anything people
6:26 pm
in the north experience except another 1000000 people have been told to flee to the south society. then we hear things that the, that the a no way will attacks the indiscriminate and then the reality is of course, we have the use of dom bones. what we've been trying to say in the house and see voice from the u. n. is that the science sciences, the tall arcade, anything but science? because i don't have food and they don't have was that and they don't have sanitation and these are legal responsibility. so the sincerity is not being matched by the proof and so words, massa, yeah, right now, both sides science will only be safe with the ceasefire. an 8000 children dead, mister ellis, of what is your organization doing to press the u. s. which has so far, retail, this seems fine, gaza as well. everything from the highest levels a close united nations. secretary general has been candid and clear and concise. and of course, brody not, it will not, you know,
6:27 pm
and everything you can possibly do with you with it is power. we use the same avenues of power, whether it was always in the united kingdom, last wage or whether we have where do we have on boys in the middle east trying to work out the patient i agree with, which is, which is on the table again. now, and elizabeth, to be honest, speaking through outlets like yours, try and get these candid as possible about the indiscriminate nature to tell the stories of what those children have enjoyed. to joel the stories again as you sort of children like gene are on the sunday who despite having lost her mother and father not last, i beg your pardon. i have a 100 mother and father june and her 2 brothers killed. there was the 13 year old girl saying i want to be more because i'm sick of sitting, right abused, a 13 year old child, and then she is killed in a hospital. so a part of that is to at least put pressure so that every day citizens around the world to get a true sense of the atrocities, a heating palestinian children, and maybe they can use pressure. imagine the credit markets and i bought it later
6:28 pm
today, which is the sanity provide for the children and families of most to elder. we thank you so much for your time. as always, that as you're going to have global spokesperson james elder and this cross to the united nations in new york now where they are holding them for a few session on the rule and gaza. that's listed in the middle. that's actually the samples of the disagreement of the 5 looked at the areas and sort of a sense at least to, to get model. i shave the use of the form 50 this in the delivery of humanitarian. they did this, that continues to face nearly install the challenges. i mean, the displacement of a bunch of escape attacks. people see that these, do you want me to respond system is on the break? limited steps by you sort of include, you know, the young people, few food, the cookie gas, and they'll take care of just general car in law who sell
6:29 pm
a coffee for the, for you. you for the 3rd supplies are falsity, but falls short of what is needed to address the human task to be on the ground. is the old and part of this big 3. the 3 made most the success. it's already not just you just insecurity. that's why the system is patients in both ways, for least the president is our focus on gospel. let us not forget that our attention during the 1st 9 most of this year was on the west back gracie's. we bought the bushes for september $1650.00, which i know molded dollar to reach and us could record since 2017 subdivided this increase because the, the of the tax is where the security forces operation a rapid the rate increased. and then you can obviously it's ration and the
6:30 pm
palestinian authority struggling to face these challenges. most of these trends the you define all night december is ready for this kid with 6 palestinians, including a 14 year old. so i know who is the fact that there is a box of multiple gates you in the race, and even though i really wish that to see she's a 5. 0, how does the over 2014 of 16 to 17 december to large scale this way. the operations took place and give the birth of the company to grab the respect of your race using through the exchange of fire. we fall. how's the easiest way to go? strikes and search for operations into the wakes that received infrastructure to the base from idea bulldozers. 17 was easiest but peter, the dozens where i was dusty and although it is basically the situation continued to be extremely precarious. i mean,
6:31 pm
it's rules or economic concerns that cost with back some 60000 posted workers because they do 2 weeks of jobs and seats way, the post restrictions fully, the 7 over a fax piece. the president thought we might be concerned about the wise re faxed over boy da signed the lease for escalation in the region. data exchange as a fire at 1st of july. and i have continue with the risk of this calculation. the estimation hosting agree faxed to regional stability. with these imperative that they would not be dried into leasing or conflict ration, and the parties reach of interest as ation of facilities under the framework. the resolution 17 o one, b, y, in the red sea. who sees it, the evidence of time to do with this versus by both parties as well as by i'm drugs and besides strikes slice of the number of seats and all the inter dixie
6:32 pm
by us. and all the data for cc, the raising concern, some of the space, safety, all skippy devices, and phase all 3. for may just see if the companies have before directed the. this is also trying to speak to the read see why this way this a lot for us. we pull to the easy because i thought be better to use. use attacks. yeah. be suppressed. i will alter december drops of asians regarding the vision of the position of the security council resolution to free people during reporting period. a divided instead is taking place. so over the swell of your posts, you need to take the lead in the wrong dog size. jacob, to reach you, and both stress leads to like so maybe so covers the 70 slaves, the violence of state. i strongly,
6:33 pm
i strongly condemn the portal that i explain most and they'll do useful. nothing can justify the acts of terrorism that way to beat it. at the deliberate tv, maybe an abduction of civilians and other protect 1st accounts. so you have tax would be i would tell you that are impossible to accept and we have i have a pause button before the succeeded by this during tax. these must be vigorously investigated. as. ready the indiscriminate, finally, a real cost of all these way, the population sense of which continues to this day is a violation of the to national. you need to do one of us see complete width of the release of the nice way the photos gradient for hostages. and we each with a 4 we baby voltages must be immediately unconditionally release in the un security council, resolution to 7 want to the,
6:34 pm
to the host agencies between each one of them off the scope of death and destruction in golf. so i have the unprecedented unbearable to witness. i alexi vocally condemned the killing of civilians. he goss. i truly live in a tutor. i'm all the loss of every, some of the st. jude with 31 good colleagues, the senior largest dose of life, the history of the old vice ation, a high rebate, greatly concerned by the impact of the ongoing host if it is of the late 30 situations and also the current conditions are making it impossible for eating for you, ready to have the operations to be cut off. i'm also deeply concerned by it escalating tensions in your west back into the user. that suffice obviously is between us. yes . so these really security forces put the to the, in the context of these various ration. so let to see that the i've never so phone,
6:35 pm
tablet, wrist i read site, that security forces was exercised back to the space and you see to force only when it's fixed. the on the unavoidable by the lead to let's our skate or vice 80 set to this again, cause disease and, but how does this against these way? it is your fight west, back at east. all the traces of winds must be had an account of let's say simple justice i'm pulled by the do. it was, it's this office use, glorifying wind is encouraging to killing of so many so to restore it is important and must be clearly rejected by the visible signs. and he does have an obligation for the in the, at least they said to come down some to run by that direction. i guess the civilians i remain deeply troubled by the relentless, expensive the least. wait. is that the best of your fight with banking through the
6:36 pm
use that is impeding access to this to the land of resources, investing the viability of a few journeys depends us the state. i read the rest of these way the assessments posted to the fate with violation of un resolutions that it's a nice and cool on government to be sought to cc investment a whole system. but the cvt, you mean we suppress the this war as long as the guest. so there's a devastating and friendship reminder that there is no substitute for the dates before they can process that would result support issue is driving to go. it is critical that these people junction the parties to re engage. ringback like pull, if you could pass that through states of i o t 's way, these us the is the states of the reaches of the bully to us. you can work together towards the school. do you efforts to support the subject?
6:37 pm
you guys will be done to active consultations if the reach and i was most of the us rebates, committed to supporting the way it is. and the organization that resolve the conflict design with the international the. all right, have a, do a resolution stand by that for the grievance in pursuit of the to state as well as an independent democratic violence over the state. what we've got so easily for pop, living side by side in peace and security, with the secure recognized folder on the basis of the 1967 bites, we use it up as the cost to all the states. i think you and so we have been less than the tool went us, then he's the un special coordinator for the middle east peace process. he is speaking at the un security council, which will be voting in the next few hours on the latest resolution. this time cooling for a suspension of hostilities and gaza to
6:38 pm
a now much needed aid in a to when a student was let's bringing corresponded to gabriel and he's on there. he's joining his life on the un headquarters in new york and he's been listening in and mr. wonderful and talking not just about gaza gave, which he described. he's had the gun violence and gaza, unprecedented. and on bearable to witness. but he was talking about the logic situation about what's happening in the occupied westbank as well as what's happening in gaza concerns for a wider escalation of violence in the region and how everything that's happened. as he said, a tragic reminder that there was no substitute for a political solution for a 2 state solution. yeah, that's right. i think let me set the stage of what we just saw there. this to be
6:39 pm
clear is separate from what we expect to be a vote on a gaza resolution. later today, later on this day on on tuesday, this is a briefing by tor was assigned to a special coordinator for the middle east peace process. about many things he can speak about whatever he wants, but specifically what he is here to brief, the security council on is a, the, a, the situation on the ground in the west bank, particularly with the settlement building. there was a 2016 un security council resolution that called for among other things a whole to illegal illegal settlements. so he gives a briefings periodically to update the security council on this. why this one is so important is because the reporting period, if you will, is from september 20th through december 7th of this year. so it's essentially after october 7th and the highlight of his report if you will,
6:40 pm
or the top line is that he is reporting that illegal settlements are continuing by israel after october 7th. and he called on these early government to seize settlement activity immediately. so that is what you're hearing there. that's what you just heard from that briefing. and you also heard of white or context, of course of him saying that there was a violence continues unabated and provocations and inflammatory rhetoric in the, in the west bank as well. and that the palestinians there are bearing the brunt of this. so that's the wider context. but clearly you're saw from him, very much concerned about this conflict spreading beyond guys. and as you can see, as from his briefing already in the west bank gave, thank you very much for breaking that down. for us. that is gabrielle. that is on to live at un headquarters. let's bring in house on buddy. he's a professor of international affairs at the castle university. very good to see you, mr. zonati. so we'll start with the un security council. interesting isn't it that this latest resolution says a suspension is quoting for
6:41 pm
a suspension off hostilities, perhaps more hopeful that the united states will not veto it if it's a suspension meeting that is, well, can we start hostilities? you optimistic that the un security council can pause something this time? well, obviously everyone, every member of the un security council, the know that the american with the block, anything that would go or run against the interest of the israeli government. and this is obvious. we've seen this before. we've seen this maybe 50 times before, but you know, even last night. so this would impact the united state as a whole step in and try to protect it from the different categories. and we know that, and then probably the word thing is very important. suspension means it to allows and enable all the whole concern to get some age to he has a and especially if you know, if there's a mechanism for monitoring. and especially if there's a bundle, i mean like enough food and enough supplies for guidance people because they're
6:42 pm
actually solving. so this is probably a positive thing here. and then the one hand, it meets the needs of the guys in the origin of the people, the citizens. but in the other hand, it's a gift as well. the, the freed rain that the americans has given them before. so it's, i think it's really balance not in terms of being objective, but in terms of meeting the demands of these raises and the one that's in the one hand in order to prevent americans from casting a veto button and give the scene in something is not the enough, we know what the scene is want they want to see a fat, and obviously this is the font fixed. all right, mr. but i stay with us because it's been a very busy 24 hours in the region and we'll just bring us up to date with what's happening in the red sea. and we'll come back to you in just a moment. the us defense secretary has arrived then double off the visiting bus, rain and israel on monday. know at austin and i was the formation of a multi national naval task force to patrol the red c as in response to attacks by
6:43 pm
who the font is from the admin on commercial vessels passing through the crucial shipping route. stephanie decker reports, the palestinian flag is painted onto a who is the helicopter as a film themselves, taking over a cargo ship in the red sea. the fighters have increased attacks on vessels in the bible. men deb street since the start of israel's war on garza and they've become far more sophisticated and their methods. it's causing a ripple effect and one of the world's most important shipping routes. it will have an impact on inflation short on the global economy if it increases. we already saw european gas prices jump by 12 percent to u. k. gas prices jump and oil rose by 4 percent to around $77.00 a barrel from a 5 month flow that we saw just in this last week. the us defense secretary lloyd austin is on a regional tour and has announced the formation of a multi national task force to patrol waters in the region. the attacks have led to
6:44 pm
several firms suspending operations in the red sea due to the deteriorating security situation. the british or the natural gas company b, p is the latest to stop audits, consignments all these major shipping companies have already stopped using the passage with summary routing. their bustles around the southern tip of africa, which can add around 10 days to the journey to tie when he's container shipping. line evergreen is re routing to and has said that it will temporarily refuse to transport is ready to cargo. oldest destruction will cause delays to things like energy supplies, green, and manufactured goods, all of which are transported via the shipping lane. it comes at a time when the panama canal and other major trade route is battling with the water crisis. the number of vessel crossings have been curtailed due to drought induced congestion unless say, the shipping industry hasn't faced this kind of pressure in decades. the final list of countries that have joined the security task force has not yet been confirmed, but notably,
6:45 pm
it excludes countries bordering the red sea in the gulf of age and like egypt and saudi arabia, this is a global issue. and for the who fees, it's not just about garza unless say, so there are other, alter your motives, are political motivations for the, for the whole piece to be continuing. this is not just about being and solidarity with other that they have an agenda of their own. they are linked to iran. they are aligned with their own and uh wants to be a governing human to the hope. these are wielding incredible power right now over the global economy and in a, in a, in a global archie from for world trade show because it highlights how the safety of crossing a narrow, which way of around just 30 kilometers wide as far reaching global implications. stephanie decker, audra 0 as well. let's take a closer look at the red. see multinational. now tom falls to balanced by the united states. the security initiative is named operation prosperity got in, and it's aimed at to turn the tax volume and put these on commercial vessels. 10 nations, including the u. k. bahrain from the netherlands. no way say shells on spain,
6:46 pm
upon the coalition, they'll conduct joins patrols in the southern red sea and the gulf of 8. and it's unclear of countries other than the us will shoot down who the muscles and drones will come to the age of commercial vessels under attack. and so far, none of the countries bordering the red sea and goals of aidan, a part of the coalition, including egypt and saudi arabia. well, humans who the say it's uh they understood by the new maritime coalition. with the spokesman mohammed advocate, the votes on x. that even of the united states succeeds in mobilizing the entire world, i'm gonna to operations will not stop unless of genocide and gaza stops. and food medicine and fuels are allowed to enter the besieged population no matter the sacrifices will. speaking in doha lloyd, austin said that collaboration will contribute to peace and stability. printer in
6:47 pm
the united states will take steps for to expand and reinforce our. ready defense relationship will do this commitment to contribute significant resources to increase capabilities here, the service and the portfolio of our horses for years. car and indispensable par. timing prices. for our call. together with major cutters. numbers have helped to secure the release of many hostages. how so? well, let's bring back how some body professor of international affairs across a university. the who these of also said that whoever seeks to expand the conflict must bear the consequences of their actions. the presence of this task force lead to an escalation of the conflict. obviously, you know, the, the objective is to detect the hooky. but as we see, as we hear from the who is useful to persons,
6:48 pm
is not going to turn them simply because what are you doing? doing tit for tat? so if israel escalation, you guys are the keep on being the, the guys in the hosting i was saying that, you know, they will control bevin monday, then they will complicate the navigation. and by the time activities in the ritzy. mm hm. and they, they can do it to do this, they, they have the capabilities. so they are actually, um, what denies in the, the navigation and, and the maritime navigation and the ritzy in order to exhibit the kind of a price tag on the worst and biased towards this. right. yeah, and it's interesting that you said the west and biased towards israel because uh, versions defense minister said that this is an international problem that requires an international solution. the task force is international, but except for bahrain which hosts a very large us naval base and say, shells the rest of the countries which are participating in the task force or western countries. what does this tell us about the divines when it comes to the school? it, it tells us one thing that the americans have failed to convince anyone in the
6:49 pm
region. you know, agents would not to be seen within like to be seen as supporting the trade off because they are suffocating guys on. and when someone comes to help the guys and the people, you know, agents would turn against them. so age of cannot really a 10 already being seen. and in this way, especially in the why there are public soldiery business on the verge of finding something with the, with the, in order to terminate the door. and this is in the best interest of saudi arabia to the country, to fight against the whole thing, and also playing in the hands of those waves and the american, especially when all the, the art public opinion has trend drummond to lee against america. so we have a lot of and time or yeah, sent to them a sentiment in, in, in, in region. so this how this can join that i think the options can join at this moment joint as part of way behind is because it does the quarter of the, the american fleet. so obviously is going to be a western attempt in order to the, to the who with that i think it's really, it's easier said than done end up with it would probably continue doing what they've been doing for you since they yeah. you said that there was an isaac,
6:50 pm
this was a way, but as the us and the countries that are participating in the task force, they also went to not using it now recreating it. absolutely. you're right, and that's what when i said this fit for that. so the who is actually responding, it's not truly taking, it's not being proactive, it's kind of reactive. so is what has been bombing guys on checked and the united states has been protecting that is really aggression and genocide against the guidelines. and the wisdom had been, wilson and allies had been come visit. so the only for us and the reason that, you know, is tip and, and say no. and you know, we're going to do something against that is the whole thing is what you have seen. you know, they came from home was nowhere in or the say, hey, we're, you know, you can continue like like this. so we have to do something and they've been doing a lot of things now. and are they only doing it to support people in gaza? or are they also doing it wrong? how much are they being disruptive here? but at yvonne's but has do you think i to do a lot of you know,
6:51 pm
argument that you know the whole thing is life? well, one of the, um, i would say an officer of the uranium in from, within the region. probably this is true. but at the same time what is happening in gazda is, is how long does no one content already that. so the whole does have the capability and the willingness to discharge everything and to, to wait and of the words, a wic up, you can continue like this and then we can go to your interest. so this is a kind of reminder, so with a pool or for the western forces, saying that your interest cannot be protected if you don't act like in a sound way for us. so this is exactly what i think the message. i don't think that they are trying to change the types of the war or fight to change the balance of power, but they're trying to remind everyone that we can hurt your interest or that is how some that idea of kind of a university. thank you very much for your analysis. the
6:52 pm
