with is that is with americans with the difference and the categories as cut. that is one of the main mediators that enforced in them. negotiate sydney, the big, the big oceans chair, but now it's my opinion. that's one of the key negotiate here is accessing data. he's gone, and of course the question for them not wants, who are going to be the representative or from mazda, of going to tom think there's, there's, there's negotiation that force. and of course, what, how much does exclude below? because as i said, 10, yeah, has to be one of the court at the mentor organization. and it's going to be extremely difficult for, i'm us to replace him to find someone who is at the eco caliber or theme because he was the god that one of the most pragmatic. and also one of the most more that his voice will from us. okay, thank you so much for that. know that we will be talking to you throughout the day as events unfold this russell sorta for us to when get more reaction now from on the grounds and guns a honey mike. mood isn't uh i'll by law. and as we mentioned,

a mazda school for a day of rage there in gaza today. what is the mood there? is this funeral is just about to begin was we are approaching the friday prayer. is this the congregation for a group prayer here? there's not only a sense of outrage but also a sense of sadness right now. palestinians have lost one of the leading figures in palestinian politics and leading figure in the negotiations that they put so much hopes that they're going to be some sort of an agreement to protect them and saved in the, from the ongoing genocide relax across the ghost. everybody was hoping everybody was waiting for the mom and that an agreement would be strep. but right after what happened, hands are on the assassination of they do hit of how much political bureau, the leading figure, and then no vacation in there doesn't seem to be anyone pulling up this role. i feel this woman and it seems to be quite the right now. what are the implications

of what's going to happen in terms of our, in the context of the, at the no, because you but in terms of our raised palestinians across the gulf took, i've been acquired in rees since the initial weeks of this war from that very very initial leaves, it looks quite destructive as these very military is what the entire goals and civil relentless ears strikes that attacks that would today we're looking at 300 these since the beginning of, of this total war across the gaza strip. we're close 240000 people have been killed, is 17000 of them are more. our children, their own was double. the numbers are sorry, then missing and buried on the, on the rumbles, an entire society have been destroyed, then obliterated. we have cases of the people who lost the entire family. the whole equation was lost in one single bond and the most to both residential building the door a talk, a bite is really military. the reason continues as does very military did not

change its conduct of the war with this very prime minister is always described as an absolute victory and the assassination topped with this definition of how much political leader, when we looked at the ground, none of the conducts have changed, there is a surgeon the attacks, more evacuation centers are being targeted. artillery selling continues across this, the eastern part of the gaza strip. the buffer zone there, there is still happening a and, and being constructed eating up a close to 32 percent of the entire of the tube in the area of the golf industry. many of the difficult conditions on the ground there are perhaps been described as man made difficult conditions for policy or suffocating them. that's the, the reason that's the frustration. but at the same time, it's building up a sense of despair and depression. as there is, there is, there doesn't seem to be an end to what's going on in. no, it certainly doesn't. as you say, uh, those drawings continue. obviously the death toll is rising. along with them

understand 15 people were killed in the lightest drawings on the schools and one of the most recent attacks yes and not right now, people are not only being targeted and killed inside their residential homes if they decide and not to leave because there's simply no safer place they are targeted in evacuation centers. these evacuation centers are supposedly be protected by the international humanitarian law or not. in fact, the women and children vulnerable groups have been filtering inside these evacuation centers, mainly honor was schools and public schools in every facility that it's available. because out in the 3 it's on any of the designated safe zones that there's no safety whatsoever. people end up in these areas are being relentlessly targeted and killed. they're dying in a record number, particularly when it comes to women. and it's still there 15 people so far confirmed being killed, india talking to school in the neighborhood. and i just had the little bit of

consequences are you as a side of relentless bombardment and recurrent in incursions for the past months. this is, the majority of the neighborhood turned into a maze of ruffles. busy most of the waste land to the point people are not recognizing the locations of their, of their homes. so people is, is sought to these schools to shelter and to seek a protection only to get killed inside these. uh, if the, if the facility is adding to the psychological impact and a trauma of the warfare that there is no safe place whatsoever, no matter what, there's really a manager is saying, or pushing the narrative that there are save him in that area and zones from what we see on the ground from what we reported on and documented, there is 0 safe zones and you can create a safe zone in a war zone, basically. okay, as it was honey, we really do appreciate you giving us the perspective of what it is like the and

gaza honey mcmurry for us and to obama on know, joins us now from ramallah in the occupied with bank and the noise you were in gaza when honey, it was vague. can you just give us some idea of what he represented to? who is that to him? us right throughout his political career as well solid as mine, honey. a rose through the rank starting with the youth movement of the hamis organization. this is a wide, organic social and political movement in palestinian society that operates in the in gauze on the occupied with bank and also in exile. honey year was involved in sports and unions and, and again he rose through the ranks. he was close with the founder of how much money, se, and who was assassinated in 2004. and then he really took from this as the it center stage. apologies in him us when he led the movement to

a landslide victory and logistics of elections. in 2006 after that, it's my honey. it not only was how most of leader in does that, but he went on to be elected as the movements leader, a all across the occupied, posted the entire 3 and beyond. and so here's the assassination. how it, you know, has impact on the morale on people who knew him, but also very deep political impacts because it comes at a very delicate time during an ongoing genocide against the palestinians. and very precarious attempts to have cease fire talks. the, you know, a piece from the palestinian perspective. israel doesn't seem all that interested in succeeding in data into one of the big questions is what is going to happen to those negotiations since is assess the nation. we've also seen what seen pictures right now of the hundreds and hundreds of, uh, people that have turned up for honey is funeral, including cuts has

a may as well as the prime minister, who also does a high level delegation from santa and that is taking part in the funeral, can you just explain the significance of that? so yeah, that the high level, the delegation of thought the in the funeral procession comes in the context of the fact that israel's policy of political assassination is long standing. all political factions and palestine have been touched and res card by that, including of course, but that's so the, a political assassination of this. my honey required that all political differences and splits be set aside. and that there is the rhetoric of unit c, a take center stage, that is what the palestinian public expects and tell us the names are very much affected. sudden and also in raged by this assassination. understanding that it will impact their lives no matter where they live, but also putting things in context. you and in contrast to the pictures were

sitting now in thought that where you have dignitaries and ordinary people attending the funeral procession. people here in the occupied westbank most likely won't be coming out in their thousands. and that's because of 2 reasons. on the one hand, israel fragments the occupied westbank with over 500 military check points and on the other. israel is pursuing palestinians even for expressing and fuzzy with fellow palestinians on social media platforms. it has detained a, any living have us member in the occupied to us bank. it has the 1000s of palestinian active us from old factions. and so expressions of solidarity in public comm mode with a very heavy prize. there is real fear here among palestinians to express what they really feel which has anger and fury at this point. okay, thank you so much and or for that there's no a day for us. and for my let in the occupied with bank, we're going to go to georgia power, who isn't around where it's not funny,

it was assassinated early in the week and just i can just explain what the latest is on the investigation into his assassination. have authorities, they've been able to work out exactly how he was killed and i guess the, let us know a little bit of the full out there just happened since then to well, what we do though, is that the special committee has been far. does that include your members from airlines, intelligence providers, those as well as the revolutionary guard and the local police forces in terms of what they've been able to dig out or uncover so far? there hasn't been any updates, but the main question that will be forced to answer many people want to know is how this lapse in intelligence and security could have happened in the heart of the capital or on as there is no specifics being given yet we expect an update in the coming days from this committee as they get their investigation underway. what we do know and right now is that the radiant delegation has landed in cuts are that is

had headed by the radian, the 1st vice president will have other as a r f a to attend the funeral of isabel heavier. and we've also been hearing from the accident, i got it right here and it's dep, it for administer. while i'm at the ball, sorry. who has been speaking to his counterparts in the region. his had over a half a dozen phone calls with a regional officials, including the foreign minister of katara, saudi arabia, on egypt and, and russia to reiterate around for the show that their response is coming. certainly, and that's iran, is it well within its rights to respond to, to this is rarely acts of aggression on his own soil by assassinating as well. and yeah, i think it's important to highlight the language we've been hearing from all levels of arabian governments and military officials in april, if you will call it when you're wrong attacked as well. for the 1st time, the message that we heard was that they wanted to slap or deliver a harsh response to israel. this time, even the supreme leader himself,

as said iran is out for blood, it is going to be or the response that as well receive when we blood for blood. we also heard from the revolutionary guards a, the statement saying that a response is coming very soon, not only from iran, but also by the resistance from it's that indicates that a condo, but attack on israel will be in coordination with the members of the excess of resistance as it's called in yemen, iraq, syria and lebanon, are thank you so much to us, a full that that's still such a battery for us in terms of what we're going to go back now to wrestle. so that who is at the most, the amount of the have mosque in doha, with the service for the mouse. politically the is my funnier is getting underway for so we understand that the funeral print is about to begin. can you just talk us through exactly how this process and the sequence works from here?

the 12th of july prayer here in mohammedan up to have miles, the largest mosque in the house has just been performed. and now people are right now for the pay and to perform the funeral prayer. you're not waiting as much money as coughing to be taken in front of the people who are attending the prayer. and it's going to be allowed to by the mom here. so shortly that is going to start. so there are several se dignitaries include in that is m e a m father m. you have the prime minister of cutoff time from all around the world that are several houses of departments to florida. ministers wise presents and dish representatives off the n g o is it as well? and decided that there are the representative of the palestinian factions, including his nomic jobs, thomas, and i'm to ask about that now shortly. once the funeral prayer is performed,

despite heavy as body is going to be taken from the mosque off, i'm not been up to what have and then it's going to be taken to this, the se in the cemetery, which is there will cemetery in, in the high impact that the state, the founder of the state of cut that just in been a funny also is a battery there. then we have a spot in front of legal people to be present at the funeral at the burial sites. because it's going to extremely that respect, it is much any assembly because any royal families, some of the representatives of the, all the states. now we see that the funeral prayer has just started. people are paying day fine, a respect to the former affords. that goes bureau chief off how much is my honey? yeah. right. when the funeral prayer is over, his body is going to be taken probably at school to buy houses and thousands of people who are now at the time being the free are here to be taken to the i will

say of the cemetery in north of the house is mine, here has been living in the us capital. the house is 2017. and since then, she has been serving as how am i supposed to come, bureau chief and also one of the prominent spaces in the ongoing negotiations. he was one of the main negotiators that was negotiating a piece the of which is riley's cut, that he's egyptians and americans. and now smart on yes is taken out of that picture. and the question of course is, who is going to be replacing him? and what's going to be the future of the peace negotiations? the deal is that potentially could be the of bucks. if that's for clear, that's what, how much is going to be extremely difficult to replace such a figure, such as such a man to be that category that has such them to mount to see what you've learned over the palestinians. and they've had a scene of fractions. so now because what we got that was of the most pragmatist, the move, the voice off from us now is going to be extremely difficult to the today. so

there's about now shante scott is the greatest attractive? a lot like that god is it is, is, is the greatest. so now that the funeral pay or is also over at shortly with expecting somebody in his body in his coffin to be taken to the cemetery in the north of north of phil. how did you say it's time that the royal cemetery here, russell for those people watching right around the world, it might not of ever have a seen a funeral prayer take place. can you just explain exactly what it is? it's very simple and, and humble process isn't it? it's, it's in this uh, islamic culture and across the islamic countries. you'll see that so simply, the body of the seas body is being taken in a coffin and that being taken in front of the vehicle is 4 times and that's you know, so very much more. that's what this procession is. a very much more. there's

a stain at all and also a, a, a, if assess of the people comes together and pays their final a final respect. so the mom that leaves the funeral prayer will ask people if they were on time with the seas. usually people will say your contacts with him, witness that she has done good deeds. that means there's a kind of firewall to the disease. so that is exactly what is happening now in, in, in, in the house. so according to the islamic culture, this must supposed to be something luxury is not supposed to be something fancy, the better to keep it. it's more of a sudden now, particularly that of companies that is a threat next stage, the more the speed more. that's the more this is that is the golden rule of the funeral. pray are. so it's my honey a himself as being the representative off of one of the palestinian resistance movements also to his life that also he's was he was, he's lifestyle of,

of the people who knew him. when you ask about him, they will say that she was an extremely well disguise. they bought the 2 calls eventually that could be the freedom of palestine or the state of palestine. no, she is that she has been estimated on robin's they intend, ron. while he was staying in a guest house and the destination people are blaming, of course, that is rallies before that assassination his body. if the 1st respect doesn't pay to his body, you intend on, on the tuesday, that the funeral pay of there was not by iranian supp, him leave the money that nature. his body has this loan to the house yesterday. and today she's body has been taken to your mom. my mom at the number will have most of the largest most in the house and just a little bit of a go the fire, you know, a funeral, a prayer has be performed. the final farewell has been performed, and as i said, he's now going to be taken to, to, to, to, to, to say if this is a really just the profession. does that really just program that all of the seas

bodies muslims have to go have to go through, but the sentiments here are quite the, the, the fee and the motions of the settings are going quite high. when we're talking to the people, they have seen him as an important symbol of the palestinian resistance. indeed, he has been one of the 4th and most prominent faces of the part. a senior of resistance says that cave starting from audio is, as you see, is child who has been part of this is the kind of thing. and the factions has been one of the fondest off or from us if he's a just since then has been also a betty bulk of boys fighting, i guess, is variety, occupation promoting the product, senior rice, you've actually preaching about the this of the state of palestine or professional, augustine and state to be found that in the future she has lost. it says on the 7th through the last 10 months, she has lost 12 p members of his family,

including today of his sons, 4 of his grandchildren. so now she also has been killed, has to be necessitated by israel. now let a few remain from his family a lot of times and she has a funeral ceremony here, including one of his sons and some of their clauses additives that also present at the funeral pre are here at the burial side though. so they are going to be present . so in the next 3 days to spam of the, the big and if it is of the state of top and the others, some of this is on the world, are also going to receive the confidence as for the next 3 days in the rest. so you were mentioning the just how on colin's, he was uh to that time us movement just to remind people he was elected as the hit of the political wing in 2017 before leaving jobs of exile and come to a couple of years after that. can you explain a little bit of the history to those events and,

and give us some context about why it has been, will present being held here. and uh huh. as well as my 10 year when the 1st election was how the 2005, then he has been elected as the prime minister of the unity government until 2007 then in 2007 to us. she was dismissed by uh, kind of seen in presence of my move to our boss about. she still kept continuing to being the leader or from us on 2 of 2017. and we have seen similar was where it is riled the through that time it particularly the one in 2014 was quite to enter stream next time it's lost. it's for more than 50 days. and we have seen that roughly around 3000 public students have been killed. he has been lead and hum us. and those who are loyal to him, us, uh, through uh through more than one and a half decades as the leader or from us. the new 2017, that has been

a billy that you've exchange in the, in the home us hire a t m. yeah. you see what has has replaced him. and then in 2017, she has moved to the capital city off cutoff. she has been elected as the homeless pool because bureau chief, since then, he became particularly vocal when it comes to promote the and how much support to come messages. how much closer because messages regarding the public relations of the homeless as well. and particularly during the cases of the 420212022. she has been here. i'm just been deeply involved in the negotiations with the, with the parties that are, you've been the conflict, particularly with these values that negotiations. what are mitigated as it would move you to by cutoff sometimes by the usa and sometimes by the egyptians. but often talked over 7 cheese rule has been much more important. she has been elevated into a much more prominent position because she was regarded at the most pragmatic,

the most more of that voice or for how much. and it has been one of the key a few years. i see it is residing in the ha attending that's negotiations and negotiations, ongoing negotiations, and even several chaves as the d and was almost reached. you have seen that that has been declared, announced by the us as president drove by then that there is a certain bed. well detailed deal proposal. it was people got white, great hopes, high hopes that these could be ending the call to cover it somehow. it didn't work because of the way they sure is a good company, particularly from the inside the size, but still the hopes were in place. and when he was a pond and the declaration ceremony of the nearly elected, the running president must be possessed. yeah, i'm so he wasn't white. that was, it was one of the official, was it there that he has been assessing a to in a guest house at the know if this, that wrong. so now she's gone and the biggest question here is,

who is going to replace him? who is going to be able like his mind, honey? yeah. really to navigate through this difficult times because here that she was a t figure of the negotiating team. so he was the one who was quoted in a teams between how much military being deported to convince the masters were usually go to him in the most difficult times. even as i said, when he lost his family, still he has been able to navigate through this difficulties. i mean, one of the most recent visits that happened by the, by the took this for the minister. how come few done of the met him is made 100 even for the 1st time, really in the history of time us. she has a knowledge of the condition that how most military being cause i'm be good. cool. even dissolve itself if a palestinian state is a poor, clear full because a roadmap is in place. these are kind of thing and state is granted steve and announced that somebody gave how most put admitted to they being all these,

all these studies was quite a rupture and departure from the 20 the, the, from the s previous paula city. so steve had such a magnitude school if the east was over the organization, now she's gone. i'm just going to extremely difficult for i'm us to replace him with a feeder that is having this cool caliber. okay, thank you so much, russel, this russell, set up for us there at the amount of the well have mosque in doha. as the funeral prayer for the most political leda is made of honey, a has just finished. but we're going to go now to send the data, who is the director of the level institute for strategic phasing, joins us from bi route. as we heard the from russell that he was saying, this is male hon. the it is going to be very difficult to replace is that how you see it.
