happens in the west bank. ordinarily doesn't get much coverage of what happened. what's happening now doesn't really get any coverage on these rated television. uh so is your is riley's generally. i don't really see what happens here, but would continue to recall as, as pops the, you know, cl from that perspective, the fear of the threat from palestinians in the west bank as well as those that those in dog and right the thank you very much. just to bring everybody watching is up to date is just turned 01 g n t and we are bringing you live coverage of breaking news in the occupied westbank with our extensive is really military rates going on, even in the context of recent weeks of such rage, this is a particularly broad and large scale such right centering in ramallah, the seat of the palestinian authority and the occupied westbank. we've also seen and heard clashes in janine and up and down the west bank. it seems to be

a coordinated concert series of raids once again that spring and around the correspondence in ramallah in wrong con, also on the phone from the iran. tell us what you've been seeing and hearing over the course of the last hour to right now. i love speaking to you. i just county the twins. he is really military vehicles and side of the street right in front of where i am right now. uh they pause now. they include, i'm counting right now 123455 on because no carrier is um full or is there any soldiers? uh, they pools. uh now where i am is about a 100 meters away from my know square the center of the room. i left uh the looks like they are about to turn in and go into uh, further into ramallah. but this is now the largest, right?

i've seen in ramallah, certainly since i've been covering this conflict and these reinforcements, if indeed that's what they are. and it could be people, they could be the soldiers actually leaving. but they paused. they just waiting on the street right in front of a meaning states, raid may, will escalate into something far larger than we've ever seen in the middle of. now i call be sure if they all go in being over if they're leaving but the direction they came in from, suggest that they getting further into ramallah. like i said, those 20 of those vehicles i may include on the test i'll carry is i can see is ready sold is inside of those on the test, they'll carriers and what is the, is the states age a the, the objectives more broadly. that the is ready, mental treat is ready. government says is behind the sheer tempo and extensive

these operations over recent weeks where it's 2 things aids to um, get rid of a palestinian of the fighters, but by any means necessary. and that's what we've seen when they've gone into regions also, or no rest campaign as well. some 4800 at least people publish things are interested since i'll tell you with a sudden that's a far larger number of interested in any kind of period that similar before october the 7th, i'm actually just looking at all of these vehicles. now they seem to be pulling into some sort of formation um on the street in front of me. um, i think we're going to see the soldiers. i should leave those a pcs. um, based on the personnel carriers. um, it looks like they uh yeah, they moving now. yeah, they've taken

a right time so that means they moving to the into ramallah. um yeah, they should upgrade. looks like gates going to be uh, going on for a while. um and they said a lot of soldiers for the center of romano. that's a huge amount of soldiers. now. i have heard unconfirmed reports but they've been raids on a extreme money exchange shops here. and that's not something i've seen before. i'm trying to find out more details of whether this is simply against palestinians getting cash out or getting cash in to ramallah. is that the point of this right out to try and get as much detail on that as possible? let me will be one of the targets, but usually the rate of this size is designed to, to there's another explosion the day. so the rain seems to be focused about if i can help with flashes, probably about half a mile away for where i am. right now, usually if i have that as well that's,

that's going to be why they bring in reinforcements like say the facing some resistance. just in the distance that um this i'm just like you posing for a 2nd because it looks like the news a be sold you out of the a p, steve. i know they put me into a full nation that defense information on the street in front of me. i'm sorry. this 123456 vehicles. right now i counted 20 going in. so at least 14 vehicles have gone into where the cops had taken place. like as i looks like about half a mile away from me. so it looks like, well, they've done is they've come in, they've cleaved the area and they've gone to an area i call the executive results where it is probably about half a mile away from me. and that's now the frightful point. so they clearly clearing all the streets for us to be able to get this lodge chromeboys vehicles in the

sense of similar i mean it's, it's quite another explosion that sorry, mine is, it's quite stock watching these images and listening to you describe what's going on when you think about what remodel has come to represent over the last decade. you know, it is a place of real prosperity, kind of economic activity and a bit insulated. it seems always felt from whatever else might be going on in the occupied westbank and the concept more generally that the bubbles being very much pissed in the last few hours. i don't see why they saw these ready soldiers are not getting out of these vehicles. i'm just going to be slight, be back because they all know looking at me. um and like you say the model is a the, it's the different co commercial capital. it's where all the businesses, the bank. so it's where the offices of the featured governments and schultz um,

before target. some people would come from all that can be occupied. westmark, they'd be that shopping. they'd come to the restaurant tables like you say a bit of a bubble. um hang on, hang on. sorry, i'm just gonna have to go into my balcony cuz i'm, there's a light shining on me. i'm going into, whoops. these are the soldiers of just pointed the guns i was speaking to. right into my room. so withdrawn into my room. um hang on a sec. and were honest, we need to right away so you can get some of those sites and uh, just i just need to. yeah, i just didn't come back to me in a couple of minutes. thank you. all right, we're going to leave them or on the, um, obviously a very unpredictable and potentially dangerous situation for everyone, at least our own teams. so we are going to move on and speak to rami corey, who's a distinguished public policy fellow at the american university of a root. and he's in boston right now, and joining us from the so thank you very much. me for you, for joining us. uh,

what do these images and, and they run this description means you when you see the sheer scale of and long lasting nature of what's going on in ramallah right now a this is a pretty clear indication that the israelis are going full force to try to prevent the website from breaking out into yet another military confrontation from was israel, you know, in the last week this rarely is and, or the americans were pretty much synonymous. now in this, in this process have had military classes with has been learn loving them harass guys of some groups in the west bank of the, on several of the hotels in yemen. and several smaller in the military. we've copier, mobilize ation forces in the rack and syria,

and syrian forces that 6 friends have been active, rent listed below keith, but exchanging fire and people selling control. and they don't want the west bank to emerge now as, as the next one. the problem was the worst bang for the palestinian population is that it is not government. the palestinian government is not doing its job. it is not really allowed to buy the israel is. and so it doesn't do very much of these players do not fulfill their responsibility as the occupying power to take care of the requirements of people and safety in other things. so it's a pretty on govern size. and this is allowed to also of militant resistance groups to emerge, especially engineering to kind of a novelist, one or 2 other places. and in the last year that has been active engaging between these groups. um, they usually have a government with jeanine,

particularly carpet was and these rates go on a months after a month. so this is really one of the most notable things about the situation is that these, these rooms is a pretty good intelligence in the west bank. it's up to the, to the rate is in the last few years because the palestinians realized that they were pretty compromised by a informer. so, so, but still is really sort of good information about where people are timing things. and so they keep going in and trying to capture people and kill destroyed tighter sections of these accounts, but the resistance keeps going wrong. and so this is a clear effort by these really government to us to try to put an end to this resistance. but they've been trying to do this since 1967. i look what has gotten the how mass or the bulk of the lights and the problem. and it's just a break and they're separated. i mean, yeah, you make the point that this is being

a, an attempt to this pain decades in the making the current attempt in gaza as stated by these very governments and ministry is to entirely eradicate from us as a finding for us as a political governing force as well. what do you think is the objective of these kinds of very large scale rates? i mean, according to the holding, it hasn't. despite the sheer devastation being roll top as because of it on gauze, it hasn't really peeled the populations away. it's, it's picked up a bit, the support for how much and god is recruiting the recent polls. it's increased even more according to those polls and the occupied westbank, this kind of very heavy military presence and regular rating of the occupied westbank. what is the likely consequences that for the palestinians and he's like i think it's going to a set of intended some people, some being involved in resistance activity because they don't want to go to lower

sleep. but at the same time, it also promotes brighter willingness by many people to get involved with the resistance to fight the strategies. because this is the pattern, not just of the, of worst, back from the last 3 or 46 months or they occupied territory since 1967. this is the pattern of human nature. since the beginning of human civilization subjugated people occupied people, humiliated people fired back. they sometimes land lo, uh, just so they don't get killed and necessarily, but then they organize and, and let's figure out what to do and then they, uh, they rise up. so this is a problem these years. i've tried also to deal with this di, jalen, thousands of people. there's not around $7800.00 palestinians from the west bank tour. it is rarely jails. this is around 50 percent more than the number of jail palestinians at uh,

2 months ago that also killed the over 280 is originally killed over 280 posts and ends in the west back a law. so they will try heavy red show people, they read their uh, chapter homes, they go into people's individual homes, they killed 6 people today and with a drawing strike, they put the thousands in jail level there seems to work in the long run because occupation, military occupation and living as a human being with no rights is not a thing that any human being will actually us. and these rivers don't seem to understand even their own history when they were subjugated in europe and treated like cannibals, but far back. and they thought back to the park where they created their state of vision by stealing belong to the palestinians on getting diminished of steel before them and, and they still learn these lessons is quite an extraordinary situation where blind,

militarism is seen those extinction by history. whereas the lessons of their own history and as victims as occupiers now, as victimizers shows that violence ought to be guessed more violence and it's also spreading around the region as i just mentioned, the 6 places where there's active military engagement um, medium small and large scale between is, is real and various groups. so this is something that really has to be resolved ultimately in a political process. and then it will, she ation this government in israel. doesn't want me to go sheer. the palestinian government doesn't exist. the b a is a joke, the american government is willing to do whatever you want to do, and they are peons or are taking naps and sending out the statements. they just put out a rich statement about 10 days ago. the 15 or so you will be on

a couple of other countries, canada, well traveling for the right i will say about the secular violence and the west bank cannot be tolerated and should not happen and has to be stopped. but that's always the obvious thing. so we're in this moment where this great feeling is real of what has been going on and there's a little spread to other places and has already created a small. so there's, there's 2 groups, particularly marvelous, i mean, to cut on where these young man and they're mostly on. i'll show you a few of them. i know blake's was, i'm a few of them with some of the times, a few of them maybe with as long as you have. but most of them are not formal. whoops. they're locally organized. the sort of neighborhood projections just are these hoops and they do what the true and they can't do

a lot because they're so a decent jail them by the israelis. but they still keep going on these realize are trying desperately just auditors and the top of that on a certain my last point, it only adds to the greater concerns around the world of issue as a, as a news channel. it's a zombie frankenstein that's been created. we're using, it's a military, might do anything it wants anywhere in the world. and people really want to try to put an end to this through a peaceful negotiation. so usually is rarely is of the palestinians, their, their rights can i, can i just breaking their site? i mean, maybe it's a bit early to speak in these terms, but what does this kind of spectacle lead you to think about where we're going in the medium term here. i mean the, the situation in gaza, people are talking about the lack of a plan for the day off their end. us is ready negotiations the wrong, but it,

it's just as important what happens in the occupied westbank as well. and given the, the situation with my boss, his authority, that the palestinian authorities or authority and the sheer scale of these raids and the potential consequences that we're talking about the, the, the potential rest radicalization of the people by the, the number of deaths and the rest that we're seeing and not to not to mention it is ready, prime minister who is now publicly saying what many and opposing community of thoughts a very long time these that said it before, but not be saying it very definitively. no palestinian states, where do things progress from here? how, how does one get back from this situation? so the answer to that as a, nobody knows if i knew i would start a consulting company and make a lot of money by advising people. but nobody knows. there are

a lot of activities going on around them, at least in europe, in the united states. they are countries and israel, everybody's body for working hard on the day after ideas for what to do and guess what to do in the west bank. what to do in the military security side, outer handle, the reconstruction guys on the govern. okay . us run the course. sorry. can you still hear said yes. okay, so we got you again. i'm so yes, in terms of the she extent of these raids, they are up and down the occupied westbank. we have become used to reporting on these rates of a very regular basis in recent weeks. and they have, as you've said, resulted in huge numbers of arrests, huge numbers of deaths as well. the fact that they just continue with this kind of

pace and seemingly from the last few hours accelerating. what does that tell you about why the as well is doing this and its capacity to continue doing this? of what it tells me is that the is really, is don't really have any strategy other than using military force. they've tried things over the years and you know, i remember back in the, in the 19 eighties and nineties is rarely strive to create 0 village leaves and they try to print areas where friends of theirs would set up uh and south loving them to try to set up a, uh, a public government. uh, and they tried to do this on the west bank and it doesn't work. you know, people will not accept to be so subjugated. and so from slaves. this really is only know how to use military force. they have

a lot of it. they're pretty good at something, especially shooting from the air. they're not very good at hand to hand combat as we see in gaza. and they don't know what to do. they're totally lost and what, what they're suffering, i believe is the problem. hopefully ultimate expansion of i small audiology learners on the side of the 18 ninety's into this monstrous military force that can do anything. it wants in the occupied westbank and gathered on east jerusalem. and it's doing it and it's not working and they just don't know what to do and they can just pull back and say, oh sorry, that didn't work. let's try something else. i started with these extraordinary bravado statements that you mentioned, a sounding tough and we're going to go on for months and we're going to get the job done. and most of the people around the world in the house, including serious western publications. newspapers are saying that the idea of

eradicating house is not very serious. it can really be done. give you a chance to run a kid how mass anymore. then you're going to rather kids. they will. joes on russian europe and the 18 point in just a little some sites ago. even the few tools that community leaders, the people, any society has been presented speed put on people's a wealth to manifest the basic to amount of money to live in decency and taking it to you and offer tonnage and peace. and that will continue to generate a activism resistance and sometimes military resistance if there are no other options. so this is why it's so important now to have really serious international diplomatic intervention. first, stop the fighting this, expire then and get the humanitarian. hey, then start working on rebuilding the guys and then work on a diploma of a process of some sort of

a critical element there is going to be to reconstitute incredible re legitimize the palestinian girl because it can't just be a massive can't be a public show that the mass provides a power, state, and government in the, in that room a lot of time it's gonna be a read constituted, legitimate, published in a government. and anybody who knows palestine of cost. and he knows that there are hundreds of really qualified people of all the fields of life from govern themselves. really, really well, if the, if there are a lot of things. so that's the number one priority. and that's where the importance comes in about releasing the prisoners. the palestinians to the mass is rarely negotiations. that will happen happening now. but then we'll move fast to get a 1000 pounds to them prisoners out of jail,

including serious political leaders and jones and websites politically the strongest, approximate from, from the basement cost side of things like that from, from us, from other areas of their religion. do we able to reach out to a very quickly, a serious as coalition government, the sort that represents whole policies, cuz they've done that in jail. the leaders have done this in jail, under the leadership, mostly the whole do and they've set up mechanisms to the court and i don't have a single nation policy. and how much has been trying to do this, but that says i want to do it, but it doesn't actually do it. so these things to have to happen, concert consecutively. so you get a policy in the government that is credible and they presented a serious non corrupt and they will the entrance negotiations one day where they is rarely is how far down the road that day is. nobody can tell you

right now, but i think we're probably talking about a year from now. we're lucky to have a serious negotiations like the madrid conference happened 30 years ago or something like that. so these are all, you know, 100 percent of the concerns about what is the purpose article is the information to serve g repeated uh uh through the tools that militarism by itself will not give israel security. it only brings it more military resistance, not just by palestinians, but also not already know many used by live in used by people in other countries. um, this is rarely, for some reason, are blind to this. they can understand how people want to keep fighting the horse or choose us about the summit. there's a number, so we want to choose the exact opposite is true, they are recognized as real. they've given them

a piece of plausible even call master service, live peacefully. one of them is really stated on the $67.00 borders. if all the power seems like this. so these are extraordinary power shines. that there was a kind of blindness, a political blindness, and there's real that, uh, the, as rarely governments kind of seem to kind of like cheap, electing more, right. when i'm fresh as government select the one they have. now this is not going to well, so the person as early as riley's, unless we get serious international intervention that gives both sides their rights. the history elizabeth austin is, must have equal rights and they must have them simultaneously. okay, so just me, raw mckinley, i just got the break in the and thank if so now, and i very much hope will be coming back to you in the next few minutes. but thank you very much for your thoughts. i just want to bring people up to date as to what

is exactly happening in the occupied westbank right now. we're watching these live images breaking use of a very large scale coordinates and series of is ready. maybe a few raids across the occupied westbank, the largest the we've seen for some weeks now. since the war and guns have begun. forces events in ramallah, jeanine, hebron novelist until car him. we've had our correspondence on the ground watching and listening to and reporting on these raids, especially there in ramallah as they have been carrying on. and we can go to one of those correspondents right now, and we're on con, is joining us on the phone from her by letting you know tied westbank in run a bit concerning a few minutes ago you had is really no tree flashlights and indeed guns trained in your direction at your hotel balcony. um i take it, you're okay. tell us, tell us what happened as well as i was out in the balconies speaking to you and

counting the amount of vehicles that were coming in to the area of these ready soldiers kneel. down they pointed the, the green and the, the laser lights my direction, i sold them pointing guns at me at that stage. and she came into my hotel room was happening. where i am right now is these very, these are using this area which is adjacent to monroe square in the center of ramallah is the staging post. i counted at least 20 vehicles including at least 6 um a pc. um entice level carriers that came into the street uh the least. uh uh, i think 14 of those vehicles and read off in the direction where the raids uh see me taking place about half a while as the crow flies away from me is about 8 vehicles that uh an a couple more just arrived. um. so these ready seem to be using the area, i mean, as a staging ground, and that's possibly why they try and make them put me. they don't want anybody

being out of mistreatment, certainly don't want anybody filming them. so that's the situation right now. they're ready to be down around 1 o'clock in the morning. they came in via the street. i'm on. they used one grenades to gas to clear the street 1st. then they blocked off all of the entrances with 3 entrances. um uh where i am um and moved into them in our square that would cause she's immune are squared away or at least 5 people have been injured in those classes. we are getting unconfirmed reports up at the target of this raid. money exchange shops, the kind of thing you see on any street corner in any big city in the world. i used to go in and you change your dollars to, you know, pounds or years or indeed your circles here. um, but we are the what the reason for that is we are hearing that the cc, the has been taken from those records of exchanges have been taken from those

places. but if it is just money exchange shops, there's a lot of fun and there's a lot of explosions going on. so it may well be that they also all, and we've seen this before going house to house searching and they are coming on the passions with the palestinians. uh but right now, um the rate seems to of quite in down load the reinforcement out on the streets now they were in that calls earlier. and then when they pointed the guns, i mean, it's like the more of them of no, actually come out onto the street. this is harry, by far the largest raid i've seen a, a lot. this is the heart of ramallah. um, and it just goes to show you that these ladies can come into this commercial capital. there's plays with families come uh on the weekend and try to enjoy the categories and the restaurants and, you know, go shopping so that they can do this any time that they please. or is it

indeed on the just reminding people as we coming up to one. so tgm t on 1st day that we are watching live pictures from ramallah in the occupied westbank part of a series of very wide ranging is ready to move. she rides across the occupied tired tree during the course of the hours of the morning. as in rome was saying, the largest that he can remember seeing suddenly it is a very major rate inside ramallah, but also elsewhere is ready. military vehicles have entered the the cities of the novelist and janine and hebron and to car him as well to come with. it was a drone strike 24 hours earlier that til 6 young palestinian men iran. you actually went to report that out just a few out.
