or israel has a right to respond to threats. but how it does that matters. we've said repeatedly and consistently, israel must take measures to minimize civilian harm. colleagues, i cannot stress enough president biden's view that it is time to bring immediate relief to the long suffering people in casa and the long suffering hostages and their families. the best way to do that is a cease fire in gaza with a hoss to steal the united states alongside the car in egypt, has worked tirelessly for months to forage. the framework agreement on the table with only the details of implementations to be concluded. a framework based on the principles endorsed by this council in resolution 2735 to simply put the deal needs to get done. now. now,

as president barton emphasized in the statement last week with lead us of guitar in egypt, and i quote, there is no further time to waste no excuses from any party for further delay. it is time to release the hostages again to cease fire and implement disagreement and quote, we've called on both sides to resume urgent discussion on thursday, august 15th, in doha, or cairo to close all remaining gaps and commence implementation of the deal without further delay. as mediators, we are prepared to present a final bridging proposal, one that resolves the remaining implementation issues in a manner that meets the expectations of all parties. we welcome the statements of support for this effort, such as the one issued by, oh, jerry, over the weekend. and we call on every member of this council to speak with one

voice to press some us to participate in the discussions on august 15th and for both sides to agree to implement the deal on the table without further conditions or delay. as a doorbell, cease fire could accelerate efforts to restore basic services including electricity and water and sanitation, bringing much needed relief to palestinian civilians, many of whom had been displaced multiple times. it could enable and urgently needed vaccination campaign to stop the spread of polio. and it would facilitate the release of all hostages held by him us, including 8 americans and citizens from many other countries. we also have been clear that to cease fire and gaza, good health in a will diplomatic efforts to restore,

come along the blue line and reduce regional tensions. indeed, from the start of this conflict between her mouse and his role, the united states, his work to avoid a situation in which the fighting and gaza spirals into a broader regional conflict. 4 months ago, exactly. april 13th, the united states were closely with israel in our partners in the region to repel ron's unprecedented attack on israel and stave off a broader conflict. now we once again in a moment of heightened threat. consequently, the united states has taken needed precautionary steps including moving an aircraft, carrier group and additional air assets to the region. so that should the situation arise again. we are prepared to defend israel and us military personnel in the region against any threats. but let me be clear,

our deployment of additional military assets are not the predictions of what is abroad. original conflict is not inevitable. the united states overall goal remains to turn the temperature down in the region detour and defend against any future attack and avoid regional conflict. that starts with finalizing a deal for an immediate cease fire with hostage release in casa. we need to get this over the finish line. again, we urge every member of this council to say clearly and unequivocally, that it is time to finalize and implement disagreement. thank you. mister president, i think the that was in to, to of united states for the statement i give the floor to the representative of coupon. thank you miss the present. i also sent us to the cairo

and direct adult in for their briefings or the number of cvd and communities. and the degree wondering, i'll just say uh will be in your life coverage of united nations security council meeting. it is 20 o 4 g m to any of the council is currently debating or talking about. and there's really a tack on a school and guys, a last week, the killed at least a 100 kind of stadiums. the meeting was brought to a by l julia on the basis of that particular incident, but it has been nice discussing the wider situation in gaza. the wider situation in the west bank as well. we've heard from some, as you mentioned, to me and organizations. we've also heard from the julian representative, we've heard from the civilian representative. we've just heard from linda thomas greenfield, who's us representative to the security council that i want to bring in a small one to show that he's all just here to senior political analyst. he's joining us by skype from powers to talk about this more one, linda thomas green field. i'm going through the statements that we've heard before

from the us about the concern that they have for the number of casualties, particularly in gaza. and she did say that israel has the right to respond to threats, but how it does it matters. nevertheless, it seems as though she was, again, reiterating the us line that any fault, any delay when it comes to negotiations, a lives with home us rather than with the is really government. and i'm, it seems to be an encouragement to try to get homeless to the negotiations, but the course that may prove difficult as well. i'll tell you, i actually envy you for the capacity to repeat. all of that, when we all know is ground to harm day. every time that he wants to go to the council for deans and they might as repeat more of the site, the searching for the english, the same thing for the audience. they all seem to be, you know, basically what are the common date? those are and diplomats represent the big stays with that section,

perhaps with different names and the american ambassador. basically the same song by the same lines to, in previous features with one difference. i'm not sure it is not just for that sort of yours on the wall that in the united states is not disconcerting. now the united states is the click on start. that's the, the, the concern. i'm sure that people and guys out the children are the guys out, are going to see better tonight because the united states is deeply concerned. why, of course, repeating more of the same mindset is very on radians for the united states. continue to talk about defense and stability and peace ceasefire and also for why it's a jingle on financing or i'm, it is right here. i'm repeating my size. shipping is right at the united nations. finding it with all the arms that needs to go to his genocide, i have to carry my initials of international law against the on one and to defend

it when those countries would want to try to get. this is basically, as i said, ground off the every day past 24 times as i get paid out of the system here since october, some dirty and representative of benjamin when he was speaking and, and as i mentioned, it was all jamie who called this emergency amazing, was talking at one point about the, the attacks that have been going on in the west bank, but also particularly engaged. and he made the point that the attacks would not be possible without to be generous supports. that is real get. so i'm paraphrasing what he was saying, but that was essentially what he was meaning. and as i was discussing with gabriel at his own door correspondence almost at this exact moment, the notification started to come out in the wires for the us secretary, stay under the blank and i was just approved 20 $1000000000.00 worth of i met all of us military equipment to be delivered to israel and this is really where we see

as you were just talking about the, the heart, the split, if you like, in this situation that we find ourselves because i'm, the one on us is saying that is concerned about the number of casualties that israel has to the right to respond, but how it does it matters. but at the same time, of course, it does not stop the flow of military aid to israel. it's judy unprecedented. but that's it. the international relations when it comes to the united states, justified as or as crimes and so forth in israel's crimes. and our main on financing is right as it goes, it's crimes all the while the feasibility ceasefire and the concern of the concern for casualties. and because it's an unprecedented but that's it, it's, it's already in every possible way. but what,

what is happening in the meanwhile, i am not here. now let's try to be 5. at the end of the day, you can really clever out this right and destruction in general. so because what does happen is through. so these 24 type me things that they use it because i'm throwing them already so forth that you just spoke about. i think it blinking on the lives america sense is different. my situation now, i think 3 or 4 of them are going to show up. my good go, which is in uh, i do need a blanket and i understand that the bill burns, perhaps the us national security advisor. they will all be in the release all the while it's sending out tomatoes strive forces, the most powerful i might, those in the world, the biggest aircraft carriers, the united states, highest income. right. so it insensitive cost, but it's also sense that i might as it talks about diplomacy,

but i see more of those my gun point designs in. right. it's just sense in done by those instructions that the one on the news is backed off by backyard. them at least 2 oceans away from the united states, but it base funding, mexico. it is not the government's in the mid, this is them, at least the american off america is too much. and so it would be as a name. and this is my really, you know, might be such a point here the united states is that our visit to get out we with just my arm and get financing and shoot to get the admissions. the united states is paid for the vision of genocide and i don't think it's right to get on with terms. not only that us now is, and i, we both these really government and disappointments to get away with that were problems by shooting it. i should think them from the i c, c and i c j and the lights and even giving them all kinds of

a guarantee so that if they do reach a ceasefire, they will not know because secretly the united states has guarantee that is right. can go back to the more after the phase one, phase 3, all 3 phases of the ceasefire according to the israeli mediated points. so really on it on it is tragic that we stick here and we try to otherwise just to find any lights and end of the summer. and we find the were deeply concerned. desert just concerned why the united states once again is in big with in genocide invest at mama waiting to hear from the russian representative to, to the un security trans. so sorry, but just wanna keep asking you some questions until we get to that point. forgive me if i have to, to break away if, if you're giving me an answer. but i want to avoid them inside a little bit and just talk about the negotiations themselves. 2 things are absolutely evident. how much now has a liter guessing was who is in gaza?

is more funnier when he was alive. i was the political head of homeless and he travelled the world. as part of these talks in order to be part of the negotiations, some waters and gaza. he is very unlikely to leave guys that's going to slow any processed on the link that's on the screen. so saying no, how much has to be at the table in these talks. they have to be represented cut or says there will be some sort of representation. what kind of impact do you think this is going to have on the effectiveness of whatever tell us we're going to see on thursday. and i'm actually pretty sure i know that degree, i'm from the various sources and reports that i've seen that nothing changes with similar being and guys on site and the assess the naked intensive logistics of terms of who makes the decision and how collective is a decision and how it's conceptual, situational, well, then, how much so now what, how much does impact, i think this has been go,

regardless of who's on the head that they've got this, the geography. where is the person who gets and i think they already said that the issue is not going to be the problem and didn't only me some of the words. what, how do you see this thing needs to move forward in order to and as soon as possible? having said that, let me remind our viewers around the world and let me tell you about the new york times before today. it's still super important that you have time. i bet you anything you want that that might come back to the just like the english and the other passengers that read somebody working support video. that basically says that they got the documents from the various ceasefire negotiations from the various around the table. so you know what, when calling themselves of whether or not and then your time so that it was nothing you know, nothing. yeah. nothing. yeah. that's what stopped it. as the progress was 65

each and every time the eyes are on the line to expand the discipline additions, or are they new conditions for why a me since may. when do you when secured, the council adopted that situation. 2735 for the verse for this is fine. is there an has they all struck the its own or the american version of its own ceasefire proposal because not anyhow, it does not want a ceasefire. he didn't want the seats fight. i'm not sure if he's going to be pushing to horner no ways by doesn't basically say look, if you're going back to the, to the thought stuck as time your time supports. we're going to have to call you out on the side. because by doing this is not running for you. good option, there's a good child support these at least a number of reports that by didn't might cut him off on it this time or on. he just, we're not making, let's leave it vague. he will not let her password be like

a this rain defense minister won't cut out. nothing else would be the op structure . this isn't why the parties, why the mediators, i'm not able to reach a ceasefire. i want to ask you about the other side of this, which is, are the other background to all of this, which is of course, it runs the threat to respond to, on behalf of a, the assassination of is mohammed in teheran. it's been holding off and holding off has been a lot of speculation that responds, may well come within the next few days. as far as i can tell that speculation of that public speculation seems to be coming, particularly from the united states in your assessment is there and is it. is there anything in the, in the suggestion that iran is holding off, doing anything until a finds out what happens on thursday, or perhaps in the succeeding few days to, to try to establish what kind of response and what scale of response if any,

are told it actually makes, depending on whether or not the talks go ahead and if that is the case, and i'm jumping ahead a little bit here. could that be part of the leverage that the us is perhaps using on israel to say you can have this deal? we'll just give you $20000000000.00 worth of military equipment as well. and we can give you a guarantee that iran is going to either have a limited response or no response. that's all as well. the answer is yes, and yes, probably yes. and yes, probably because already we have ones are, you know, for sure, talking to you to west and wire service. the rest of you just saying that on the supply of the could prevent a response from the acting foreign minister of the president. but there is some sort of noise from you on that if you do reach a deal sooner than later, this could be the white on board, not a site,

at least for the time being. the good folks sort of say that the phone and not not, you know, not stopping it altogether. it just, it for the other thing is not this could be used as a bridge against is read by the i say to my advantage sausage says you're not in you, you don't want to be furnished for your assessment issue. any additional our sovereignty . you're gonna have to know the simple fact to my original point. what are the areas for the slides? i am sorry. say that i know this is important that i just answer the question, but either way this is right is doing away with general. so could you just as you just stated that wouldn't be awarded. i know you're with billions, tens of billions of dollars and you're going to be toward is moving forward with

the has issues for nations with a good number of our 4 countries. they are going to be awarded for moving data and it goes a do some of the for the whole by the big on both a great. and i'm not so much for unexplained categories under westbank for beginning to do in the west bank version of what they started doing, guys. so they're gonna get, they're gonna get away with genocide and guys. and because they are, believe it was such infinity, they're not a problem with again and again, it's a lot but a sign of perhaps in the region because why not? if you wouldn't really need to listen to the people that deal with the cost. so you would say this, you know, i mean what other say, if you're on is right, right. i'm not saying the projected yet. if you're a, is there any part of this other say these people are stupid for us to do things. first thing is because they're not doing anything. they talk like one of the commentators at the top from the best best uh, you know, speeches to the,

not your can you believe that there's so talk about a solution about possible consumers like restaurants. i know even the, i say somebody windows and these really governments for me to, to know what to states when they're committed in every possible way and to debbie are the definitely possible way to prevent their centers. but it seems that so why they talk about being committed to a, to set solution. they don't even say what is right actually to reject that while the student is for us is for right. so here we have a situation where my strength is getting away with mark is getting heavier with massport jumps. and it's that's being cut out because of the input time. so the international community, the weakness of the cynicism of western powers not to be the opposite, but continued to send us words. why then we had at the support thing is right,

the extreme side of the more, i guess a message from what you're being saying. it sounds as though that benjamin netanyahu is probably as isolated as he has ever been in his prime minister ship of, of israel. his foreign and supporters are not repeating to nothing else, identify him as the problem. and do you think that in the event that there is no solution that is reached as a result of says find negotiations that start on thursday or any other time. that'd be the end of nothing. yeah. whose time you're in. israel may end up coming about because of internal pressure is that, that eventually the, the people of israel and his fellow politicians will have to draw a line and say enough is enough. you are responsible for this and you have to go as well. i actually see, especially since nothing i was invited to speak to both houses of congress for the

4th time i started is the only lead to this city speak to both houses of us congress 4 times to once again meet with 1st on by then. and once again, being met with clocks, while 636455 times 5, i'm either sizes and congressman b, you know, receive, wouldn't been graced at the white house. that's nothing you know, feels convinced that the whole now when probably i would say with fire, here's defense minister who is a member of his own party. and bring someone else from perhaps up to one of the smaller factions on the, on the, on the, on the right to replace it. and even expand those question from 6 to 4 to 6 days or so. and he thinks as long as he has ascending government with his precious

than for nothing, question partners, nothing, nothing with that, you know, i, c, c, i, c, j, united states not, not on please forgive me for interrupting you. but as i mentioned before, we have been waiting for the representatives from the russian federation to speak and they're not speaking. let's listen then. i think it's clear that we need to be doing this more often. because the notion of the situation and go to the and the region as a whole continues to drastically deteriorate, has unfortunately already become routine and does not to get across the hallways and the suffering. but the civilians and guards that have to face every day, including elderly people, women, and children, expecting west and the primarily american colleagues in cahoots with israel to express any compassion to palestinians as appointments. but full. it's important to regularly bring the truth about what's happening and goes to the security council platform and to the international community we, i was the big streaming shake and by these many strike on the out to be in school

with in gaza at the time of in 2000 refugees with sheltering back more than a 100 people died and tens were injured. many of the victims were women and children were express uh, sincere condolences to the families of those who died and we wish a speedy recovery to those who were injured when we call app consistent possession of the principal about the need for strict compliance with the number of international humanitarian laws, record on western jerusalem to refrain from any attacks on civilian objects. that can be no justification for this kind of action. unfortunately, what happened in alto being called, be seen as a one off or indeed some awful criminal misstep. as there's ornaments that today and in the last 10 days alone, 13 centers in gaza with id, peace, with sheltering, have been bombed. are, according to o h. c h, all data. since the 4th of july is right, it is covered up 24 strikes on schools where display people were located. as

a result of this, at least 274 people have died. is a growing conclusion that what is happening is not anything else than a deliberate choice. but these rating leadership condemnation, specific acts of wesson's room, somebody calls for restraint will not work. the problem runs much depo. the problem is that just because of a palm, the ring to israel from uh, western colleagues, accounts will still have not as important not been able to take a requisite reaction to the escalation of the questions. for me, at least i sent you the security council reminds us more and more of a passive. i'm powerless bystander who can only report a was thing declaration of a situation richly express. on this, the concern i'll say more for team members of a security council or with him a hence having me being held hostage by the us who blocks any accident towards an immediate cease fire. on the 10th of june, more than 2 months ago,

the council adult could its most recent product on gauze and then it's american sponsors. press to members of a security council to give it to the green light as soon as possible, claiming that opponent tongue the fates of the deal between him. ask them is why i want to see sign brush. i have a recall, abstained at that time because we had the mysterious doubts regarding the feasibility of this resolution. as time has shown, all of these doubts have been confirmed. now, western colleagues prefer not to think about this, but resolution 27. 55 contains 3 phases with extremely ambitious plans from a comprehensive 6 by to the start of a full scale reconstruction of the gaza strip is not a single one of these phases has materialized. now they all look absolutely so realistic. and unfortunately, the security council signed up to this a secure toothpaste. so rate is a west west, and the thing is signed up on a blatant lie. commanding the 1st operate paragraph that is well agreed to the

proposed conditions. and the deal is representatives on many occasions including this room set directly, but they did not agree into it tomorrow for all the rhetoric of a is really, officials shows that is written in principle. it is not intended to stop it submitted to operation whatever the position of the security council may be into raleigh as rarely administer of a finance smoked rich coal bodeo, a capitulation to dev. hosting a ministry of national security. it's only been very direct. be said that the will not been into this war. so what then results came from dakota, american colleagues, that active diplomacy on the ground to bring parties to agreement with the security council should not interfere with the problem. even the expression of the mountain has given birth to a mouse would be an understatement. we have not, we don't know about any progress or ever since they don't ship resolution quenched at 755. the only empty result is a blatant provocative much of they have made negotiate of her mass is mild honey,

and the former, published in prime minister during his visit to, to run. now the whole world is fitting anxiously favoring a new escalation in the region. i mean, not so states of america who still even have not listed as and you finger on this as calling to say that it's a master should participate in a negotiations on august 15th, if everything only depended on how much president or even a bystander today would find it, let's say clearly that attempts to reclaim us must have placed a complete solution to the front of sydney, as well as a conflict with various deals of a century. with a coast of sympathy. usa is nothing successful but counter productive in time. at least we region at the blaze and is on the brink of falling into a full scale will. but the priority of course, is an immediate stop to the see scott to, to the show,

a blood shedding goes from the very beginning of the person has made me conflict with a cold on this the council to take decisive measures to ensure an immediate i'm conditional cease time. i recall that we propose the 1st draft resolution with this demand back on the 16th of october last year. how many lives could have been saved if the council then had risen to the occasion as not to rhetorical questions? there was a specific figure full of us. 40000 people have died including more than 200 under west stuff. well, the 90000 have been injured. as we've already said today, more than 2 and a half people have died. oh, nice since resolution 27. 55 has adopted. this is the price of adoption of multinational diplomacy and shortsighted interest of some members of the account. so we who with the veto of the government plays for 6 months have not even allow for mentioning security council documents of us the sky without to cease it will not be possible to put an end to the suffering of the 2 innocent civilians

surpassed civilians in gauze, and also houses, you will not be released, and detainees will be released and also for unimpeded, actually have access to the. well, it will not be as possible. we call on the council notes related by washington who is concerned only by protecting the interest of israel and profit, some to deliver in width of your hot spots. i'm also going to again, we should think together about what might just can be taken to the escalating cause and the region as a whole, or is so that we need a security council visit to the field. then that's what should happen. otherwise is this transportation which happens where we all expecting that specify specific thoughts best specialized departments of secretaries act to be present in the zone of the conflict to fulfill that mandates it often risking their lives. and we here sit in new york with information from the reports and from open sources. well, we received invitations to visit geneva rather than to those regions where we, i really needed them, at least should be a car to, for council visits. which should know.
