simpson civilians set the civilians in regards. 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 is for that we need a security council visit to the field, then that's what should happen. otherwise, it's a strain situation which happens where we all expecting that specify specific thoughts best specialists, departments of the secretary to actually 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 pages where we, i really needed them, at least should be a car to full council visits, which should not become political termism to comfortable locations does not serve

it also to have a 2nd look at the question of how they present on the ground of specialized missions could be reformatted primarily. and so we need to think about the possibility of strength and accommodate if necessary, without tying it to the consent of both parties if needed, is clear, but that will never be received. general patrick gusher has twice, brief accounts, already underscoring specific practical questions which need to be resolved, so that to breathe new life into his missions mandates, which is very much needed in the cuts. the consensus of the current escalation, we call, i'm calling from a council to not sit idly by but actively involved themselves in these discussions . the counsel kind of, i'm not sure to close his eyes to what is happening in the middle east. and for the benefit of organizations neglect, it's direct monday to maintain international peace and security. do it's a no show, didn't forget about its own decisions about the needs to create to independence

over in palestinian state within 1967 borders with east jerusalem of its capital, living side by side in peace and security, with his ro, no other schemes and concepts should re, with play space foundation of peace and i'm at least we're ready to cooperate with one of those who share this approach. thank you for your attention. i think that i presented to flush of vision for this statement. i give the flow to the percentage of malta. thank you president. i also think and disagree with the rest of the carlo and direct studies adults and for the hiring briefings today, a motor condemned. so for 6 strikes on the outside beans cooling cause i last weekend, which supposedly killed dozens of civilians are, you're watching, i'll just here it is 2030 to gmc. this is live coverage of the united nations security council meeting, where all julia has called an urgent meeting following and his ran the attack on the school and goes on last week. the cube, at least 100 palestinians bots, that's amazing, has of course expanded into

a wider discussion or statement of use should we say about this situation in gaza and also the situation in the west bank we've just heard from dmitri paul young to ski, the russian deputy ambassador to the end security council reiterating many of the points with regards to these humanitarian crisis that is going on, particularly in gaza that had been made previously by others features. however, he did make the point that many of the members of the security council where he said being held hostage by the united states. and that had led to the breakdown of the failure of previous resolutions bar one that had been put forward. the last one, the one that had actually gone forward was won by the us resolution to 75 in which russia obtained. but he also went on to make the points that had the security council members adopted the suggestions and resolutions that have been put forward and addendums put forwarded by russia. in the past. he suggested that the whole

situation may be, may have been sold significantly earlier or be further down the road to boards, finding a solution. i want to bring in gabriel alexander his life for us from un headquarters in new york. he's been sitting, listening to all of us get, give us your assessment of the kind of tone that we've been hearing over the last few speakers, particularly, of course, from russia or yeah, it's important to point out that russia was the 1st council member to offer up a draft resolution to be voted upon shortly after october, 7th, just a few days after october 7th. they put out a resolution that for among other things called for restraint called for a cease fire that was immediately rejected. rush has put forward other resolutions as well that it's either been uh, blocked or be towed primarily by the us. so the us, the rush, i should say,

what you're hearing from them. quite frankly, it's frustration and you're saying you're hearing from them, like what you said, that essentially in their, in their words, that 15 members or 14 members of the security council have been held hostage in their words by the united states over the last 10 months or so during this conflict, deep frustration by the product on the part of, of russia, primarily also that resolution 2735 that was adopted by the council in june. the calls for an immediate cease fire has not been implemented, the russians insinuating. why hasn't the us forest israel to, to, to hold up their end of the bargain on, on, on this restaurant resolution 2735. so certainly frustration there, but i think what really encapsulates this meeting so far is you heard from the us permanent representative. went to thomas greenfield, who's talking about deep uh, deep concern about the civilian deaths in gaza. but at the very same time as this

meeting was going on, the us announcing a new 30000000000 dollar military, a package to israel, didn't clements among other things. f. 15 fighter jets and i think that contradiction by what the us says in the security council chambers. and what the us does in washington, in terms of giving arms more arms to israel, is really a contradiction if you will, that is really frustrating for so many people that look at this and say, well, if you really don't, if you're really that deeply concerned why do you keep giving billions of dollars in, in weapons to israel that is being used to kill palestinians? we heard fairly early on in the proceedings from the savannah is representative sign those wilcox who um, towards the end of his speech, essentially said that in the event that israel is not willing to comply with any

agreement, any as pressure coming, particularly from the united nations and he was also, of course, talking about the other parties as well. it's only about how much, particularly in relation to the c's far, he said that they need to be clear the, and i'm part of phrasing here that we will essentially make it happen. we will enforce that. the problem is, it's very difficult to see how the security council can do any more to try to enforce the situation. given the fact that it's how does we were talking about as a resolution to move forward by russia, by the us, which was subsequently adopted. and yet the situation is, as we see it today. and that's right. i mean the sanctions security council can do that. but will that happen? probably not. and the reason is because the united states has a veto power, and they would most certainly veto that. but i think so, so it is a difficult position. and that's why you heard the russian about the deputy investor. they're saying 14 members of the accounts are being held hostage by want in united states. again, that's his position is countries position there the us would certainly refute that,

but that is the problem. i think you are seeing countries like slovenia, who also been very, very strong over the last 10 months or so, trying to come up. they know the us is going to veto anything they know the us protects israel diplomatically and politically on the account. so. so what sort of any i was proposing there is you so accurately pointed out, is there something we need to talk about maybe setting some deadlines for implementation of our security council resolutions such as 2735, setting a deadline having follow up if you will, and ramifications are consequences if, if he's real doesn't abide by them or any party for that matter. so you're starting to see language and masters talking about this because clearly there is frustration because again, this is the 24th time since october, 7th of last year that the security council has had an emergency meeting on guys. so

that doesn't include the normal monthly meetings. so you add 10 more normal monthly meetings on palestine in the middle east and you get over 30 meeting. so uh and, and where are we getting? we've got nowhere. the security council has utterly failed to bring any sort of end to this conflict or to get a ceasefire. well, the meeting is still continuing. we're going to be hearing at some point from the representatives from israel. i'm from paula sign. we're going to be dipping into here, but they have to say, but for now, gabe, thanks very much. indeed. gabrielle is on the actually you're in headquarters in new york. and now we're gonna get more in this situation and gas. so for this video strikes have again, targeted palestinians and all but age refuge account. at least 6 people have been killed. civil defense crews are searching for missing people believe to be buried under the rubble. there's really armies repeatedly talkative guys as crowded refugee camps. hello cindy and women and children bearing the brunt of israel's

latest offensive when the city of con eunice, in southern gaza. entire generations have been whites out. more than 40 percent of those killed over the past 10 months. our children thought a couple of them has more from dental bala and gas or a moving dairy better and then sinks to his knees. this is i so and over there is, as says as a friend pointing to the bodies of he's a new born babies. so small, you were only one budget that with them of how much wife you talk to, to the 3 d old twins. what killed and then is really a strike when a house in con eunice, one of the other. i went to get my children's birth certificates. my wife gave birth 2 days ago and i did not have the opportunity to celebrate the bus. she had a c section and she was very tired. she was unable to leave the house and left them

at home to reduced the path and to find them that as well defensive on the goals this trip has left thousands of full sins and its way. so many local doctors has come up with a special term. when would you string them? w c and s. that stands for wounded child nurse evaluating some of them in 10 months. so who has killed nearly 16 on the whole found that palestinian children, many was alone, others separated from the families of the bodies of thousands of believe to be blowing under the russell. in november. you want to sift cold goes a great young children. and this has not changed, this is free and about a year she was from the roughly with but destroyed house struck and it is really a strike on hun unit 30 by i uh the other hi,

a family home was hits and it is striking the child's entire family was killed to mother his father who brothers and who assist to see the no one is in the range 70 year old grandmother with the crying and stuff. she won't drink me from the boat, so there is no one left except this baby. she's 3 months old, out of 20 people. she's the only one who survive. what did these children do? entire generations of tungsten, he ends up being white tops. many of those who remain are too young to even knew who they have lost the killing of maiming of gulls is most vulnerable for since it is sustained, terica bassoon was just the right there had been, i had a story with you about east jerusalem sizes of israeli settlers and ultra nationalists of storm. they all ok, so most competent,

national security administer if my venue vlad the march tamaqua jewish holiday buttons being seen as he had another effort by far right groups to force a change to the status quote that's governed the whole who signed for years now israel's bind i'll just data from reporting in the country, so same post office and this report from the jordanian capital. i'm on in the politics of division to sell a supremacist narrative. israel's national security minister, it's more than computer says it's his offices policy to allow freedom of worship for jews everywhere. even though it violates internationally recognized agreements governing one of this farms holding us the. our policy is to allow premier, i will say something more. we must win this war. we must win and not go to conferences and don't how cairo rather defeat to force them to kneel. that's the message we can

defeat. how most bring them to be nice singing dancing, religious rituals, even raising his rarely flags inside. it looks almost compound, deliberate publications, the break longstanding cruise put in place to keep the peaks at the same time. most of them worshippers were bored from entering the most to pray, upsetting the balance is exactly what ben gives here, says he wants all part of the far right. stay to days of shifting the status quote and taking on check control of all occupied palestinian lance. there was a chorus of condemnation from palestine and egypt as well as the custodian of the holy site. jordan, it's foreign affairs ministry issued a statement describing the incident as quote, a flagrant violation of international law and the historical and legal status quote

in jerusalem and its holy sites. the incursion was part of an annual jewish event to commemorate the destruction of an ancient temple, but through a larger than usual crowd this here. a day earlier is rarely extremist attacks, people in jerusalem, old city, and vandalized palestinian own shops. on tuesday, mobs of settlers also stormed villages near hebron. violets in the occupied westbank seemingly on the verge of spiraling, out of control the image, yet again of a far right leader set against the backdrop of a muslim holy side is likely to inflame tensions. not just in the region but around the world. and it is unlikely to help expected talks for a cease fire, and garza and the release of captives zane bus robbie ultra 0 a month and they occupied was bank. is there any satellite storm? the village of 20, they responded to calls and social media to ready to palestinian villages near

hebron. the settlers arrived on bosses under the protection of his very forces. cyprus provided additional cover from rooftops no to day as this update from romano . a 3 separate attack spies, rarely settlers on palestinian communities in the hebron area in the morning is really subtler rated a village in the southern hebron hills accompanied by as rarely soldiers who took who gave them cover by taking positions on roof tops close to that. and why this to see a is really settler's attack, palestinians who live in that community along with the international active is trying to bear witness and give them some protection and in the evening is really occupation force has cleared the commercial center of hebron city the largest city of the occupied west bank. so that is really settlers can read that part of town and visit an ancient side, but they declare is wholly to them. of course has rarely subtler feeling power than

emboldened having representative in the highest offices of his really government, including at the marvin via the ultra nationalist, the extremist, a member of that government who rated up from us earlier in the day. those attacks served a very important purpose for is where you set those. they make living conditions for palestinians across the occupied west bank very, very difficult to endure. and they help clear palestinian land of their owners and inhabitants to allow for more land grab new to all the address. ita, rama palestine. you as president, jo biden's briefly commented on the possibility of reaching a ceasefire agreement in gaza. it says as long as actions and the coming days will influence expect to talk later this week. we'll see what you see what happens as well. bundles are

joining us live now from washington. so if i understand it correctly, it's not certain there's going to be a spot or no iranian strike against israel. what, what is he actually saying in this room? well, it was a brief exchange. you know, as you saw, a uses of about to get on an airplane. but when reporters asked him, do you think that is iran would stop and we interpret that as meaning. not a take action against israel for the assassination of, of it is male hon. the uh, if there was a ceasefire bite and said that is what, that is my expectation. but we'll see it's one of the number of things over here in the united states and in washington that are bearing on the possibility of ceasefire talks. and on the general situation with regard to gaza and,

and the occupied palestinian territories. first, with regard to the story that we just listened to by zane bus route on the actions taken by is really alter nashville, administer it the model been given here on the all. ok, so holy sites, the state department said that it's a found. ready actions unacceptable, and said that the, the, the status quote which has been in place for decade upon decade in, in jerusalem is very important. the united states supports that in any efforts to undermine the status quote, which it said then give your was doing, we're on acceptable. and would you impede the effort to bring about a cease fire through negotiations? and about those ceasefire talks. there's been some question about whether hamas

would in fact want to take part the state department spokesman of the don patel said that the united states has been assured by category officials that hamas will participate in those talks. so that there's, that now on the military side of the united states has authorized the sale of $20000000000.00 in additional military equipment to israel that just out this afternoon not specified what that material will be. we believe it's on board a ship in the area and it will be transferred to israel at some point. this comes after a $3500000000.00 was authorized for arms to israel just last week. and to put this in context, the united states has a massive military presence now in the middle east with 2 aircraft

carrier groups in the mediterranean. and then in the, the, i believe in the red sea or in the other areas nearby, as well as a nuclear power, a guided missile submarine to us as georgia. so a massive a military presence in the area which the united states says is a necessary for you to keep its guarantees to protect israel's defense. and to defend the united states troops in the area. so a lot of moving parts here, all of which are dependent upon the other. and again, those activities on, oh ok. so those could be extremely troubling and could throw a wrench into the whole negotiations situation. if a, if the amount of been given year gets his way. yeah, we heard earlier on just a few hours. the goals and the pentagon spokesman taught right. a general pat

writer saying, explain more about what you were saying in terms of the carrier groups that were moving into, into the region. he was at pains to suggest that this was, as you were pointing out, was an effort to essentially just keep some sort of stability and have a presence but not to escalate anything. and he was again suggesting that the focus should be on the 6 far talks, which are going to be happening on thursday. and as you're out in the state department, i just wanted to ask you if there been any further statements coming out of the department with regards to the talks that we are, we are expecting to see either possibly in the hockey or in comstock or possibly in egypt and it seems to be. busy a lot of uncertainty and fuzziness about that. um the state department officials wouldn't say anything on the record regarding place or time, but there is some suggestion in the state department that uh the the date given of uh thursday i believe the thursday, the 15th of, of august

a couple of days from now may not in fact be the day that that, that this happens. it could uh, could slip a few days possibly um and as for the location um that is still uncertain to and also uncertain as to whether the secretary of state of anthony blinking will go to the the region at all. no trip uh by blake and has been announced. so these are all more elements of uncertainty surrounding these, these talks at that at least present bite and seems to think are, are, are moving ahead at the same time as we've been seeing in the un security council that we've been talking to, gabrielle is on zillow, but it's the to the discussion still talking about the, the situation and guys of the situation in the westbank. and yet there is still a sense that from what we were hearing from under thomas greenfield,

the us and box it up to the, to the united nations security council. that the us still firmly believes that any delay, any responsibility for delay uh, with regards to talks that have happened in the past lies at the door of how much rather than could be the responsibility of israel, or indeed the personal responsibility of benjamin that's in yahoo. and again, the us having to walk up very fine lines diplomatically in this situation, rob and yeah, and in addition to that, whenever uh, the question comes up in these briefings at, at the department of state or the defense department regarding is really mass occurs, such as the one that occurred in the school killing about a 100 people over the weekend and more recent attacks in civilian areas. uh and uh, is rarely efforts to shrink the so called safe zones in gaza for civilians. the response autumn almost automatically is, well,

we are told by uh he is really army that the, the hamas forces are building themselves into the infrastructure and using the civilians as human shields. that is kind of the need your response. and then if, if question further, usually uh, the october 7th is, is info. so, uh yes, you're right there. uh, there is no real effort in the halls of government in the united states to put a blame or responsibility or any kind of pressure upon israel, at least publicly to stop any, any kind of escal atory activities, military or otherwise. the world, thanks very much indeed is it just mentioned to our viewers that we are so waiting to hear from the representatives of both israel and pont assigned that this meeting

of the united nations security council, which has been called by all jerry and follows. and there's really a talk on the school and guys last week and about a 100 published jennings died. and that's about the meeting that we have been covering over the last couple of hours. has to be much more wide ranging. it's been talking about predominantly the concerns for these monitoring crisis that is happening in gaza at the moment. it's also talking about the attacks between palestinians and just really military forces that have been going on in the west by that i've been calls far more and i've the greater ability to get into, into gaza. and the need of course, to get more medical supplies into the guys as well, particularly because of the spread of disease, one of which has been identified. one virus has been identified as polio which seems to be an increasing problem in gaza. and for several of the speakers have referred to as an absolute priority, i need to get more medicine and medicine into gaza to be able to deal with that.

let's go to a gabriel alexander who has been listening to all of us in the us. so i can go to gabe, not because of buying this done, but he was good to go get. but you've been listening to the speakers that we've been hearing over the last couple of hours or so. is there any indication and obviously they the seattle layer on the representative of seattle and speaking at the moment they held the presidency of the security council at the moment. is there any sense that there is a, any sort of confusion, any sort of movement towards anything actually coming out of this meeting? that could be tangible i had of the scar tops that could be taking place on thursday as well. so there's going to be no vote, there's no draft resolution that's being considered. so in that way know in terms of tangible things that could come out of this meeting. but we knew that going into

it. and this, this security council meetings are important to again raise the specter of what is happening in guys and number one and 2, but i'm just going to interrupt you there. i want to go to the security council chamber. the representative for follow sign rep. muscle is because taking human lives and every action possible to spread a line photo wildfire across the middle east. as we sit here on the 75th anniversary of the geneva conventions, that where there is in the ruins of the entire cities in the mass, an indiscriminate killing of civilians in the depths, chambers, and hills she met no cuz as it played, the light will image out of the darkest nights and protect the dignity

and humanity of old persons quote un on conflict is a, is, is carrying the conventions apart and guys, along with it. very rude. humanity has of elaborate as we meet here in new york. they're odd is that i usually government and military operations fund. that's an analyst explaining seriously that they are entitled to carry out indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks against the palestinian civilian population to wage war against civilians. they explain that starvation is legitimate to up and over. they justify gun great and torture against defenceless prisoners as require the tenant and this is not if you already took an exercise,

this is what is the end is imposing against millions of palestinians. no man, woman, or child spit you would you mind is the stop killing civilians. there is a security council, but it targets them in the show, those and tense. you would, you mind is a and to allow food and medicine and but it insures that time and, and diseases split you would you mind is the end to 3 palestinian prisoners who mainly but it tortures them. allows is about a legitimate us today, an abuse that but a scene in hostages, you called on it to stop. it's set through much but it's rapidly accelerates. it's colonaze zation of bella seen a line you.
