12:09 pm
says rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said a boy designed between garza and egypt is known as the philadelphia card, or must be controlled by his ro, philadelphia, philadelphia. colorado also puts in more, correct, the southern stoppage point of casa must be in all hands. they must be shots. it is clear that any other arrangement would not insure the demon of transition that we seek. let's take a closer look at the philadelphia, colorado. israel says one of its purposes is to monitor the movement of goods and people between egypt and the kansas strip and to search for weapons. israel believes the hundreds of smuggling tunnels them well from all on this. ellen fisher is joining us live from occupied east jerusalem and now and we had a little bit from mid netanyahu there. but what more has he actually had to say about why the card or should be on the israel's control as well. this of the very least will cause some international consent. it would mean,
12:10 pm
effectively, israeli troops occupying parts of the guys a strip. not only that, occupying parts of the guys district, which is guys, is only linked to the rest of the world. that is 14 kilometer quarter door was controlled by israel up until 2005. but when they do out of gas, it'd be handed over security control. the other off the check point to the egyptians and the addictions have about 750 troops based along this quarter. but the really is always think, feel that they're not doing their job properly, and that is why they see that they will take control of it. so it's not the 1st time the benjamin netanyahu has talked about this idea. in fact, he said it to a kinetic committee, back on the 11th of december. but as i say, it will consume a number of countries including the united states and others who have spoken out against the idea of any is really real kit, but re occupation of guys a since the very early days of this war, the benjamin netanyahu has been talking about the warranty says that the out in the
12:11 pm
process of inflicting great damage on how much that they are working to destroy, how much he talked about how the killed 8. so isn't how much fight us. which of course, is a tacit agreement to pass that acceptance that of killed somewhere in the region of $12000.00 innocent civilians. he also said that the warranty go on for some considerable time, and they need the time to cut. he added that though he also talked about his boy in the political future. he said that he had no intentions of resigning, and that he will be in charge of the government after the war. which means he'll be able to impose the idea of his really troops on that southern border if the war cabinet agrees. but of course these really people aren't betty. you're not going with benjamin netanyahu at the moment. the man who said these always kept israel safe, of course, was in charge during october. the 7th. and most people blame him and his government for what happened during that day. and they also say that it's time for a new prime minister, essentially. they want someone else in power. there's no benjamin netanyahu. ok,
12:12 pm

12:13 pm
the 13th of this, i saw his body on the ground that couldn't recognize it. when my mom told me was him. i started crying, he's my dear friend, and it was very close to me. one month. i also provide to, every time i miss him, i go onto the book to watch his videos. the shared this video of was so he wasn't the sound of studying. they see what loved palestinian folk dancing, swimming and dressing. his sister says he was killed near their homes and you need the most of the occupied blood. and he was need a group of young men is 84. so suspected that they are resistance fighters, but he had nothing to do with anything. she shows us where the bus driver was standing. this creature marks the spot approved through posting in miners killed in the occupied west bank by is really forces this year. we're from the

12:16 pm
as well. australia is running a fever in terms of those temperatures. hi, everyone will pick up the weather story their job because of read the heart of the temperature. marble bar matching. it's hot, it stay on record 49.3. that also matched the hottest state in the southern hemisphere for all of 2023. we know years now coming to an end. so here's your forecast for the 1st day of 2024 temperatures down a bit in marble bar to 46 in still outbreaks, showers in storms along the coast of new south wales and especially queensland, that energy is moving more inland. now for new zealand, disturbed weather shoves away. so both islands that calm day on monday, but it's southern the breeze means your temperatures a bit below where they should be for this some year. we've been talking about pouring rain for days on sumatra island. so i wanted to show you that seems coming out of north central sinatra island. there has been some funding there, but i think the problem spot on monday will ship to what's called them intent on borneo island and coaching on the police side of the island. the monthly rates
12:17 pm
taking a bit of a break right now. so those weather loads have been dropped and we've been dealing with air quality issues along the yangtze river valley. some rain on tuesday should help freshmen that up and we've got so moving away from japan. so calmer conditions on monday the i'm mary m. shaheen. filmmaker and i've been working in and around garza for 30 years. as i watched the 2023 devastation of concept ideas, really army. i looked back at the place, i knew the optimism of 2005 when these were at least to the destruction of towards the echoes of the wall sconces fated hopes. on l g 0, the
12:18 pm
the, you're watching, i'll just hear a reminder about top stories. the south. the world food program says it's in a race against time to avoid starvation for millions and gallons of the you in agency says on the a long term see spot and i'm the send it to you minutes here in excess can prevent the crosses from giving with at least 12 palestinians have been killed by us. ready? s ranks and central cancer. as these ready military expands, it's offensive house in the l. a. so why the neighborhood was attacked. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel should take control of the photos on between garza and egypt, known as the philadelphia card, or he says it's necessary to de militarized district. adela delica fall joins us once again here in the studio. thanks very much for
12:19 pm
staying with us. just in regards to the card or can you just outline for the people that might just be joining us exactly. what is riley is trying to achieve if it were to retake that car at all. well, the state of pain is of course to secure the border from weapons passing through the tunnels that i would also say, that's really there's a domestic audience components here. and then you see the security and the, and, you know, speech is deeply unpopular and history and lots of the blame is put on him for the war. and he really benefits from the continuation of the source. he wants to present this, this face, that he is the protector of insurance on. secondly, i think they want to use this as an association technic with the, with us and egypt of course, as the board of the country for any potentially post guys. how can i think certainly this is a continuation of the collective punishment of palestinians. when is what controls or sides of the board? the now can continue the bombardment and the see to you mentioned that they could
12:20 pm
use it as a negotiating tactic for the next phase. in the board how, how so, how would it use that card or when basic the, i think this would be a step towards, is there any real q patient that has a strip in the south and also as we see i've seen lots of, uh, current uh, is there any officials thing that you want or 3 or 5 north establish documents, beach resorts, and so on. so this or part of the plan of taking bits of guides to is, what are the chances of egypt in the united states? if going along with it, i will look, i don't see this right now happening because any changes to the border has to be done collectively. this is or part of the camp david accords and the philadelphia a component to it as well. so this kind of helped me a lot, 3 by a by is there's another issue to just that has sprung up in the last few hours the world food program has come out and said that that is an advice against tons of people and guys, or to to prevent starvation splitting to millions of people. what do you make of that? especially since it's only been
12:21 pm
a week or so since the united nations security council voted on a resolution to get more humanitarian eyes into gaza. what they've done actually is very controlled is the amount of calories that each doesn't can receive. and by decreasing that number of calorie, it's again a form of collective punishment. i'm a war crime, i would say, even as what we've seen, lots of international pressure on is going to allow more aiden. but again, this goes back to the point of collective punishment and seeking for revenge. post the effects of october 7th, not just on how much, but in order to put a finger in the world food program. this is the only solution to this stop ation problem is a long 10 c spot and on him to 2 minutes here in excess. what are the chances of that happening any time so? well, it seemed the total venue was coming out to is there in that is raised want to continue store for at least a couple more months. and this collective punishment will continue with the northern because of pretty much levon. we've seen lots of refugees and people move towards the roof of board. the hundreds of thousands are there already. so i don't
12:22 pm
see is really, really opening up for further united carrying a release anytime soon. and we've also the nation. yeah. who was said to the boy is that it's hard. we have fighting on all fronts. achieving victory will require time . the will, will continue for many more months. is that what you expect to happen here? that's the us international pressure isn't going to stop as well from, from continuing to do what it is doing to goes what from the very perspective they of course want to and definitely continue to work with. also the thing you help benefits by capt keeping door quite the indefinite investor community. i shifted with seen the court of justice of the south african case for a genocide against israel. as you also have to look at us election is what makes the, the primary start in the, in march. so think from us perspective, not because of supporting part of the time. that's actually the by ministration with one disorder to wind down. so they can focus on to get extra for thank you once again for your time and you're in, so i'll be ready to appreciate it. i will talk to you again very soon. thank you.
