2:09 am
more from occupied east jerusalem on what the israelis have been saying about the incident. i say it recognizes the severe pressure is going to come on the internationally and as a consequence of what's happened in northern gauze of age, really military says that initially, what happened was the a trucks. why the golf? so this is wherever is ro has created a divided between the south and the north of casa. the trucks have gone through these check points, and it was rushed by thousands of palestinians trying to get the food. and people were crushed or even killed by vehicles. the military didn't open fire the state and then latest the trucks moved to the know some people approached these riley military. they say it was threatening and mama and so that troops opened fire and they open fire on people's legs. now these really media reporting what the ministry saying, and also acknowledging that this could put a lot of pressure on israel to get more concessions in any potential cx, 5 source and benjamin netanyahu in
2:10 am
a press conference this evening. he's also said that again, he's coming under a lot of international pressure generally, but he will not stop the war until, as well as achieved its objectives and costs punishment. alger 0 occupies to us us president joe biden has dialed back optimism about the chances for a cease fire and gaza. that's after suggesting progress was possible earlier in the week. white house correspondent kimberly helped get reports on his way to visit the southern border with mexico. us president joe biden, surprise reporters by walking back comments made just days earlier, predicting a cease fire in israel's war on gaza. by the end of the week, i was on the phone, the phone was biden's telephone calls with the mirror of cats are and the president of egypt just prior may have
2:11 am
been the reason for the shifting deadline. both called readouts agreed, a sustained cease fire of at least 6 weeks would allow humanitarian assistance if the gaza and the release of captives and could be built into something more enduring. biden's comments come as this really forces on thursday, fired on a crowd of palestinians in gaza, waiting for humanitarian aid trucks. at least 100 people were killed and thousands more or wounded. biden's national security council says use a white house is looking into the reports. this tragic event also underscores the importance of expanding and sustaining the flow of humanitarian assistance into gaza in response to the dyers, military and situation. including to the, the, a potential temporary cease fire as part of a hostage deal as images of the disaster circulated across the globe. on capitol hill,
2:12 am
the only palestinian member of congress expressed her outrage using and starvation as a weapon of wars on denial of work crime. and as a work i'm that we continue again to be complicit to those decisions. we are demanding and immediate lasting fees, fire and that the is riley government commit to see think any plans to bombard and evade rasa. also in capitol hill, the defense secretary lloyd austin, was asked just how many palestinian women and children the white house estimates have been killed in israel's warren gaza. austin replied, it's over $25000.00. it's a comment. the biden administration found itself on thursday for the 2nd time, also walking back. kimberly help it l g 0 washington. adam shapiro is an analyst who was director of israel palestine advocacy at dawn of human rights and foreign policy think tank. he joins us now from washington, dc, adam us presidential byte,
2:13 am
and said that the us was looking into reports and trying to determine what happened in gaza. how concerned is the white house about all this? and will this attack on palestinians who are waiting for aid, put pressure on the, by the ministration to do more, to push israel into entering a ceasefire as well. so the 1st part of the question, i'm sure there is concern in the white house about what the reports are coming out and. ready what is clearly then, you know, a tragic incident that was entirely avoidable. uh, there is absolutely no reason that is really so there should be opening fire on crowds of custody and seeking to get food and other humanitarian aid. and that said, uh, in terms of the 2nd part of your question about a ceasefire. uh, i honestly, i don't think that this administration has any interest in moving things forwards towards achieving the last thing. permanency is fire and certainly one that would
2:14 am
make a meaningful difference in. ready lives of palestinians and guys, i think the binding ministration is very much on the time table. ready of what the american elections are driving, which is unfortunately november. and it's only at that point after the outcome of elections are here, are determined that we might see decisive movement by the, by the ministration. i say that we just, the one caviar basically that you know. ready something really and, and the sounds trivial to say that this point given how many people have been killed in gaza, but something catastrophic be bad happening and doesn't, might shift things in a way, but 112 dead in one incident in gaza as people and doesn't know that's a day and doesn't that's normal day. ready because at this point, and unfortunately that's not shifting things for the binding ministration. adam, there's a huge amount of concern about the levels of hunger and gaza. un officials of
2:15 am
warned that at least one quarter of the population, there is one step away from famine without urgent action. will mounting international outrage over this incident compel is real into allowing more aiden to gods of i don't think so. and i think we have to now understand the true nature of what's going on a world. ready what we are hearing is that there's more talk, perhaps even from the united states, of using these aerial air drops of aid, which poses challenges and problems in and of themselves, and are completely insufficient for the need on the grounds. what we're hearing from if 8 organizations themselves is that they also, after this incident, are very concerns and have been very concerned about the security of their trucks and their truck drivers going in the situation is chaotic is the image is definitely shown in this totally understandable given distribution that people are facing and the complete lack of assistance that they're receiving, what is needed is unequivocally a permanent, clear, uh,
2:16 am
lasting ceasefire with israeli troops leaving entirely garza so that posted eons. and some form of housing authority can return to maintain order in the area and the proper age operation. and beginning of a reconstruction operation can begin. and adam and i can just go back to something you mentioned a moment ago, which is that there are these reports that the us is way era dropping 8 into gaza. other countries are also air dropping 8 into gaza. jordan did so in the past couple of days, how effective is this as a means to get to monetary in a to a population that is suffering through this humanitarian catastrophe? you know, this is, this is not even a band aid on the problem at this point. the planes can, terry, that much material it's, it'd be far more effective to allow the trucks in a, at numbers that are, are necessary not, you know,
2:17 am
the kind of some trickle that's being allowed in at this point. and people are afraid, certainly when they're going out to try to collect that age, even in the zones that have been declared safe. as we saw from this incident, there's no such thing as safe in gaza as long as it's really true to there. and as long as this all continues to bombard from the out outside of gaza, uh, what is absolutely needed. this has always been a political issue and it needs to have a political solution. we have a ceasefire. implemented and insured and guaranteed basically by the united states . all right, adam shapiro. great to get your perspective. thanks so much for joining us here on al jazeera. thank you and the secretary general has condemned the killings of those queuing for aid. his spokesman also reiterated his call for and immediately to mandatory and cease fire. the secretary general a condemns the incident today, northern gaza, in which more than a 100 people were reportedly killed or injured, was seeking life saving aid. the desperate civilians in gosh, i need urgent help. including those into besieged northern part of garza with
2:18 am
united nations as not being able to deliver aid for more than a week. the secretary general reiterates his call for an immediate humanitarian cease fire and the unconditional release of all the hostages held in gaza. he once again calls for urgent steps, so that critical humanitarian aid can get into and across garza, for all those who so desperately need it. gabriel elizondo reports from you in headquarters in new york. the number one uh, the spokesperson for the secretary general is not calling you to mass securities, calling it an incident that needs to be investigated. you clearly condemned it, but was questioned by journalist multiple times and repeatedly during his daily noon. a briefing that takes place here every day at un headquarters ask him who exactly are you condemning and what actions and this. and i think he's trying to
2:19 am
walk a very fine line there because as you heard him say there, uh it has been more than a week since the u. n. has been able to be on the ground in northern guys are delivering aids themselves. so they're trying to get as much information as they can as our everyone else. so he was very hesitant to specifically name israel as the corporate of this, or get into too many details without more information. but the bottom line is i, i asked him repeatedly us and specifically if the u. n. was involved at all in this a distribution. and he was adamant that the u. n. was not a palestinian boy has been rescued from under the rubble of his home. after surviving there for 9 days. all the human for relatives were buried when in his really missile hit their building
2:20 am
and gossip, palestinian civil defense say 30 people were killed in the attack park. the boy severely dehydrated and mel no worries. and had to be taken to hospital on a donkey cart because there isn't enough fuel for ambulances. is real, says the 2 is really settlers and one palestinian have been killed in a shooting at a petrol station in the occupied west bank. the incident took place at the entrance of the legal settlements north of them. a lot is really media says, says the army has blocked off roads in the area as they search for possible additional shooters. it is rarely settler protesters have gathered at the air as crossing which separates israel from northern gaza. demonstrators tried to set up what they called a symbolic settlement. on the israeli side, they demanded the restoration of settlements inside gaza. once the fighting stopped, we came here to declare that the day after this was over, we must settle. we must spread jewish towns all over the guys districts. because
2:21 am
without that, it's gonna become a hornet's nest. it's you can't leave a vacuum. we see what happened. 18 years ago, we allowed them uh, we left our agriculture, we left our greenhouses for them. everything was destroyed. so i got an employer. we came here in order to return back home. i live in a community of people evicted, some good, a former settlement and guys that we wanted to go back and there was no doubt that we need to go back. the whole thing is real, has seized nearly 3 square kilometers of palestinian land, near and illegal settlement in the occupied westbank. the move will establish a new settlement near molly. i do mean near occupied east jerusalem and estimated 40000 is really settlers lived there. settler expansion is illegal under international law, yet it has ramped up significantly since the war on gaza began in october. still ahead on al jazeera on doors, as of our entire onboard millions of radians, are eligible to cast ballots and call the mentor elections on friday. the border obviously is that a full time car?
