but this is benjamin, that's in yahoos government. these are the policies of his ministers, his ministers, who insight hate against palestinians who inside hate, against palestinian journalists inside hate against anything that has to do with truth telling anything that holds them accountable for their crime. just to give you an idea of the right wing government policy on gonzo, you have ultra nationalist in the government to waive an illegal settlement in the occupied westbank who have been calling to shudder the network. and these are the same ones. who for calling for nathan, y'all who to be even tougher in guys out in a war that has killed more than 41000 palestinians among them nearly 17000 children need members of the far right are saying that what is really doing is not no, it's not a surprise that the antagonist ation began
4:01 am
a long time ago, and it's still the rhetoric until the day to shlomo car. he, when he decided to essentially write off this bill to present it, to the government. there was a lot of fear. there was a lot of fear about what was going to happen to our story selling because we cover the occupied with bank extensive way. we are one of the only networks in the world with around the clock coverage from the gaza strip. we were also on the ground in his really territory telling the stories of his really to are protesting against their government who are protesting for the war to end, so that the captain would be released from gaza. so this is a government with a lot of different policy that is unpopular is a wide variety of is really society the consequences of the occupation of time. but the policies of method, yahoo alone have prompted the largest protest in israel history, which took place just a few weeks ago because his policies they say,
4:02 am
are not working. i'm have not been working. and to speak out as to our bureau in jerusalem that was moved from the western part of the city to occupied east jerusalem. this would kate, that was incited by members of the government who spoke about the network in such a way that incited hate among the really public. but also ammonia is rarely politicians themselves. there was a member from the far right jewish power of my yahoo, the party that been there is the head of good, tried to go to the, to the office, but there was nobody there and wants to restore them at the time. so i see one time tonight, the journalist sunday employees there and he had posted a photo of himself saying that he's in the offices and dizzy to wisconsin. us to move to what to occupy issue is going to continue our coverage to continue our work . this is
4:03 am
a war and that is so difficult to cover. these are stories that are so sensitive and difficult to cover. and throughout the last year and the data has been giving the best effort in the world in order to tell the story of the innocent people who have been affected by this war on both sides of the conflict on all sides of every border. and to be to is their giving you what you need as a viewer to understand the story with a full suspected, exotic real and government 1st shuddering and occupied to jerusalem. and now in the occupied with that, unless you just said holmes as, as that, you know, covering every aspect, not just of this rule, but it's definitely been and i'll just, i'll just share a story that we've been covering for many, many years. and one that i ordered is all. a a much familiar with us at the time when all the news channels become busy, perhaps with stories elsewhere around the world. but also um lets talk about uh
4:04 am
john. unless being allowed or not allowed into uh, the cause of strip throughout this will because they have been a very, very select few number of journalists have been allowed and whether it's international or domestic. janice allowed. and so the goal is the strip by is ro i, we certainly know that there's been, let's say, some vetting of material. can you talk us through that as well? because many people have off. why not just many people don't list themselves. some veteran jonas of us. why are they not being allows? and so the goal is to strip, as i want to point to something different press. association said many months ago in, in a statement saying that it is appalling. the foreign journal,
4:05 am
it cannot be led into the gaza strip and is we've the says nation to believe that what disease rarely occupation not want the world to think on their coverage in gaza. these really have not allowed anyone into the god district for coverage of a war and is largely considered as a genocide of the palestinian people. and if you do go to gaza, it is on a very limited is really military in bed, where they show you what they want to show you. and they tell you about their children in a certain area. but of course, we know that is real military achievement. it goals of the war. none of them have been accomplished. none of, of the things the agenda items, but nothing y'all, what his government set out to achieve from the beginning of the war. none of those goals have been reached nearly a year, and so the war with more than 41000 people has been killed in the carnage in the massacres. we see every single day. so no journalists are not allowed in gaza and
4:06 am
they haven't been since the beginning of the war israel maintain, but it's because it's unsafe for journalists, but that's because of the conditions that it had created in the palestinian territory. look at the journal as being dogs who have lost their lives covering this story. i just need a new journalist who's been killed as, as you said, habits of what we have many of our colleagues that have been killed. so it's in the algae 0 and it's important to remind our audience is without accountability by these really authorities, big government or ministry to say that they had carried out a tax or carried out a direct threats. they have also brushed to sides investigations and international cause. so to me, into the coming of shooting
4:07 am
a block, the a john list, the vows that was known throughout the region across many countries and very much loved by the hour of world. full ha, frank and honest coverage of the israeli occupation. thanks for speaking to us. i'm the social that live on the phone from my mind in jordan again, i reminded that's because as riley's these radio uh, as far as he's rather have banned all just there as we seen him now once again from being able to report from within israel. but also now from within the occupied west bank, i'll just, we will be speaking to him on the hashem and the moments from the roots as close thoughts in the capital of legend on. but so i just wanted to give a, another quick recap, we are rolling breaking news here. also. is there a, a, the news channel out there english out?
4:08 am
is there a our big i was, is there a colleagues, a in occupied west spines now without a, a low dr. bureau of the is really minute treat turned up a while ago, unexpectedly, a, with a surprise or the, the bureau will be shut down for $45.00 days. and they handed over, as you can see, and those exclusive pictures the from earlier our viewers, she's reading it out live on the, the order from these really minute free saying that they had to evacuate office within 10 minutes. you're taking all personal belongings. however, they were forced to leave the equipment behind. they didn't even have a chance to really go back and get anything else other than belongings. there's been a very testing time for jonas. one thing to cover the war in garza. and so to me, this definitely makes it much, much harder for algebra,
4:09 am
which has been very much the full front of the coverage of the rule in garza now. so that's the recall that will be looking for the a on this and how these ready authorities have been cracking down on our news channel. not just as we're seeing since the war on goes up, but before, but let's go straight to our, the hash them in, they roots are the house and you've all this. they've been covering the latest escalations and events, the 5 thing, and that's now israel has, as it's as a full goal, as part of it's a goals when it comes to goes with the 4th one saying that they will return that residence back to the north and the north of israel, of course, borders 11 on and you are covering has been, has been covering this for some time. um, now, what are your thoughts on this latest news that you were hearing about?
4:10 am
our bureau being shut down and occupied westbank. i was trying to talk and this is a shocking on one side. but it's not surprising given the fact that over the fast. yeah. and even more since the assassination of shooting a will awfully, it seems until it's clear that is what is doing. it's best to. busy track down on i just utilize reporting and this is maybe one of the latest attempts to stop. i'll just see it off from conveying the story with it's found that it's high spend that's that it's been working on. you've been data you've been covering from that and all our colleagues hemmed up and everyone has been trying that best to prepare for tray, this picture and, and this coverage. and in the best way, i'm 5 to show both sides of the,
4:11 am
of the story. so i just 0 isn't the one to i. q is here, i just utilize into one to suppress. yeah. well the problem is that as a 0 is according to the is randy and not this is the one that they want to shop. the problem is that over the past few months, you've seen some of them about 5 being close comes uh, being killed, our colleagues. uh also so i use who is being killed. uh, i'm just father. why? and i saw many of the, all the kids, i mean it's like this been working directly on trying the best to mute understand. so you know what the, and this is not possible. i just, you know, will continue to convey the picture and they will continue to report on what's happening even if they be royce goes in and drum model. but the issue is that you can chose the salt. i was just, you know, the saw off which is you guys what is directing our use agenda,
4:12 am
which is how to show both sides of the story how to show the story of the people and how i mean in the middle of this world, especially right now we've vince oh, all the nice covering. uh the developments this is how is you guys working people here? i just need a half fashion for journalism. how fashion to show that to, to the stories of the people. and this is walk may be very any at the right now is run is just trying to take such steps in order to prevent as you see it off from doing its job. but this is not going to really change anything in what we are doing . and ali um, as you were mentioning there about the killing of done this, of course, we can't forget seats of october and that was when 7 john list was hit by is really strikes in lebanon,
4:13 am
which killed the royce is douglas. i saw my brother and of course anyone that works in bay roads and nothing on a new i saw him. he was a very power, is my sick, a great job list of what he did a camera mind of full royces. and of course, we also had a full not colleague of ours, didn't collins a us citizen. that little was also that, as well as a common one of our team members, a couple of our team members in fact to there and another local john knew it was very, very clear to me. many of us that watched those about her wrist, that video of such a nearby som killed. this seemed very much targeted in fox. i'm this, the international student now came out of to that a couple of months later, saying that an urgent investigation was needed to investigate. what happened? did we ever had from these railways on this? did they ever admit what has happened?
4:14 am
we've had several accounts from the john this there at the time that told us that it was, they were very clearly marked as john list with a soft light truck that couldn't have been mistaken for anything other than being at cd crew. they were wearing that a safety slot jack hits and helmet. have we ever heard of any accountability, anything from that to investigation? if there was an investigation on spots in the, as someone yourself, who's been in southern lebanon covering hezbollah? what is the situation now for john list the a while, let us start from the 13th of october incident. actually we what we were all together. we were the same team together going from one place to another. and later on. the fact is that we just split then they would hit common job or of course i
4:15 am
saw it off the light was i mean in few days, the 1st i knew the city of this incident to come. i saw more skill todd man and also a lot of a legal idea, a colleague and he brought here and other colleagues that all injured in this. and this attack is rarely is they didn't give the side of this. busy to you, but at the same time they don't want anyone to give that on the other side of the story. so the issue is that they want to hit journalists. they want to, in a way, i don't know if the limit journalist from reaching to the face of the developments and what's happening there. yes, when use is happening. i'm not even giving the chance for these journalists to cover it in a safe way. and this is, by the way, this was not the only occasion when the teams just here and others have been hit during the coverage yet. and so 7, i'm just stopped up. i think,
4:16 am
a couple of months after this. i know that julie minis, journalist, 34 journal for the whole, not as a capital of mine, their money was all ready. i also can do it. also between these 2 incidents, i, what i sent, g or bureau chief mazda and brought, he was along side with our colleagues. i from west and they went ahead with uh shows and these, these incidents are all i accumulating to just show a picture of that has been going on for the past. yeah, i see. so we have other incidents before. you have more than 100 journalists who were killed in this fall. and today, if i want to describe how things are on the board, the i remember when we just started covering this story on the april on the 9th of october, it was when i came to, to live in on. it was easier to go around the board. the may be, i mean the situation was different. there were shutting that were rockets go in
4:17 am
here and that was the 1st incident when i saw more skills and caught him and under the and all of those were injured. it was a kid that, that is an attempt to prevent journalists from getting to that place to that area to go for the story from what it's happened later on. the pressure to stop is accumulating day after day and journalist thought it's feeling more and more unsafe . recently, just a week ago, a journalist and look at during the let's see it. i might have you received threats on how to form that they was split, had a body if she continues to cover this story and the number was coming from, is it so, i mean these, that sense continue. i would always continue with seeing several incidents before and probably would see more, and there would be more journalists who would be killed because the only mandate is to show the story and tell the story and convey to the people. and i hush them,
4:18 am
it's worth mentioning here, you know, i was, we were just mentioning that, i'm just, the international has a come out with a reports, a couple of months later, doing an investigation. i just wanted to give you a bits of ours is a bit of background on i'm the students and national at the time has said that it verified over a 100 videos and folks across allies, weapons fragments from the sites. interviewed several witnesses. and they said that our investigation and i quote them into the incident on causes, tending evidence pointing to an attack on a group of international journalists who were carrying out their work by reporting on hostilities. then goes on to say that czar, it's the types of civilians and discriminant types. oh, absolutely prohibited. by international law, i'm kind of amounts to will crimes. and of course, since that's report, we seen
4:19 am
a huge number of john list killed. certainly in gaza if they haven't been killed then that's been severely injured and severely limited in their ability to cover. that's will one last question before we move on to one of our experts that will be speaking to you because you with that when that attack happens. um, how does that make you feel as a john this on a personal level, given that you are risking your life? and i think that's something that people need to remember and these very hostile, stressful moments you are risking your life to um, to tell the truth of what sort of we were together sitting just before the incident. then, such as i saw i'm kind of in, wasn't that at the beginning. and then something happened. we split every $11.00 a to a to somewhere. i mean, i went somewhat closer to, by the way to the board,
4:20 am
the and they went to, it took you to meet those behind. they were saying that the assessing the situation and then out of new we were given your lives a piece of message. we were given your life to i just see it and then we saw we saw a missed sign hit thing or a shuttle hitting the car. we didn't know that this, these are the generators. and they said all i felt differently when i came. i understood the story as to what i understood what's happening. so i found the picture of songs, but it's so common. and i'm living with this tool. it's not an easy told me because it one way or another. they are trying to pressure you to stop doing this and feed for your life and just leave everything and fox may be covering this story from safe. i had, yes, this is, this is the main monday. if you have this, the name of justice is to impose on you more fios,
4:21 am
i limits our coverage. any way i don't know either. they succeeded in we think us behind in preventing us from reaching the border. but we continue to cover this story despite all the risks which this is the despite the trauma, as this fight, even our families frustrating the us. now i have a life of children of parents and they all are all the ways consent when i'm on the . busy covering the stories and stuff all the about me it's about all of us with all these on the. busy there's waving the fact check it, and that hasn't minutes and having the explosions behind those lazy watches of bullets. but at the end, this is our job. this is our mission, and this is our passion, a table ali. thank you so much for sharing us. your personal views on that as a journalist, that was part of the group that had been targeted by the as ready as strikes back in october, in 11 on. so i just want to, let's take a look at it. well,
4:22 am
that's good to rob me. a 40 who's a distinguished fellow, but before we do go to him, let's take a look at these pictures here that we're seeing because we are seeing the is really millet street, the pulling down pictures of a shooting, a block of a veteran, a palestinian john list that has been a covering the occupation these radio occupation in occupied westbank. she had been killed in back in 2022. and there is yet to be any form of accountability, despite international pools for a thorough investigation and for his role to be held accountable. so now we can go through all me who to who is a distinguished fellow at the american university of a routes whose joining us live from boston. ronald who are you. thank you so much, always for joining us and giving us your thoughts. this is
4:23 am
a region that you all incredibly familiar with that you are next. but experts on are you spend? of course a lot of time as well and they routes you have done. um, what, what do you make of this latest rage that has happened on the out? is there a bureau in occupied westbank? and again, a reminder for all views. just joining in this is a $45.00 a day, a binding of all g 0, which now would indicate and would means that none of the all to 0, whether it's english who are become a washer journalist or online of course. because we also have members of our teams that work for the digital websites as well and knowledge. so outlets, none of them at this rate will be able to operate as old on the story. what do you make of this? this is very much on the line with a whole policy of not only the state of israel since 1948,
4:24 am
which is to prevent real news about the palestinians or about what the state of israel is doing to palestinians colonizing them, arresting them and torturing them. and things like that, they've tried to prevent the news from coming out of them. they've generally succeeded for the last 4050 years. their whole strategy in israel is to produce a narrative about as real about palestinians about zionism. about the i was really conflict about terrorism, about all of these issues swirling around the rage, them and narrative says that there's really is a good guys and the palestinians, and the arabs and muslims were baptized and they're a threat. and this is a narrative that the thing is rarely as have succeeded in disseminating all over the world. and the primary mechanism they've used has been the mass media of the
4:25 am
western mainstream mass media that includes well known companies like uh, a cnn, bbc and the new york times on the top names in the media. have all been used generally willingly to an extent have been used by israel to paint and an accurate picture of the palace demands and of israel. and the recent transition into world to digital media and social media has created a great upheaval long. this is rarely strategy and because of the social media that has now really developed heavily all over the world and particularly recently tech tock, which is prevalent among young people and instagram and things like that. have been produced knowledge on the ground. but palestinians and arabs, lebanese, and others all over them, at least as well as the palestinians,
4:26 am
are banned from teaching at a school, for instance, or are forbidden to hold an event of the social media there that presents this in real time. so these really is, are rather perplexed than desperate to figure out how it is a, keep the world believing the lies on exaggerations and distortions that, that they produce. and they do this mainly by saying, as ina, is a supports, how much supports terrorism. this is their main landlord sent to some of which those are the 2 men of arguments that they've used a, they've always for been the international community. anybody in the world to come in and investigated, a controversial issue likely killing of should be. and i've actually, for instance, or others, they refuse to have international community and partial credible people come in and
4:27 am
do an investigation. they say that they do their own investigation and they are almost always say that the person died by accident or that israel has nothing to do with it. so this latest suspension of the remote bureau, the post bureaus is 0 for 45 days is very much in line. was the policies that israel has used in palestine. now during the a gas uh uh, josh side they uh they for they stopped israel. they stopped us usually in our front broadcasting out of israel for a couple of months. busy and now they're stopping them to broadcasting palestine. and this is really, are really concerned because it probably means that they're, that there's going to be a bigger onslaught of as rarely, designers, middle of fascist, the subtler violence all over the west bank and the primary instrument for informing the world's about what israel is doing. is not going to be available to
4:28 am
do it, but that's not gonna stop the world from knowing what's going on because of the hundreds of a brave palestinian journalist. some other foreign journalists who are there. they're still foreign journalists in the west bank and a digital. they're not allowed to go into the gas a and i would predict that soon. these realize will make the west bank for bins on for they won't allow foncher unless the and rami it's a allow me to. so so was the last thing i'll view is not, i mean, many understands those that follow the is really a occupation of palestinian territories. they see this as an occupation, but don't realize the little nuances if you like. so as a person, you know, you were saying about binding people potentially from entering occupied was blank. certainly in terms of gen this already when you arrive. as okey pod was thank you,
4:29 am
have massive signs in red shoes, text warning, service warning, anyone from entering the occupied westbank under the pretext of its being a dangerous area and that they need to maintain people, safety and such. and the that's the 1st question. you all aust, on arrival in a is ro by the efforts of through a possible control as to whether you have any plans on visiting occupied westbank but you are now in boston. you are in the us and i just want to talk about the us role in all of this because when israel 1st bonds ologist there, uh, just shuts office down, binds us from brewed coffee in israel. um, when the us state department was austin, questions on this rating move. uh they quoted it quite concerning. i mean,
4:30 am
they have spoken on record spoken to us and spoken to all just there and said they have no problems at full and they don't see what the issue is without coverage. um the, you know, they, we, we interview them. um, but what does quite concerning mean and, and does not have any effect on the decision making in israel? would they even what is wrong? even listen to this, is that even enough pressure to just say it's quite concerning? especially when the us says, advocates for press freedom, right. so they, they not a state state department does a lot of serious things in the world. it doesn't do any serious things. and there is rarely published the name problem, a conflict in the end, the spokespeople follow the old adage that sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. so they know they don't base the,
4:31 am
they have to say things that sound good, but will not have any impact on anybody who is really terrible. they cause a contradiction. the hypocrisy double standards lying sometimes. um and the publicity of stay american state department spokespeople. there are the people in the state department. i've known many of them over the years as an upstanding people, but they are finding people don't make policy. um the people who make policy already also in the state department, they're in the white house. the hands and the congress a that's where the power is. so they the, the american overall policy to the issue of freedom of press and jersey allowed cetera. similar to the issue of israel trying to do. and i just wonder why. oh,
4:32 am
so the was situation is similar to the media is really wants to banish and this call's that that is helping come ask them comes up with all these reasons that are not valid and are actually investigated by impartially when people finding that the overwhelming majority of what is real or choose as vulnerable if it's not true? for instance, there's all these factors ations all the time about the, some anti semitic textbooks or whatever they used to be textbooks years ago that had some have to some of that stuff. and i, but that was done through the years ago. the textbooks of wonderful have been very beverly study and by independent your fee and international groups and saying that the fund. but this is these really policies, uh, the united states goes along with virtually every things of israel wants to do in palestine. the only place where the us seem to push a little bit of a pause button on his wheels. action was
4:33 am
a couple of years ago in israel started to end with this one, this fascist right wing, middle of some, uh, designers, government came into power and israel when it started taking actions. but it looked like it was gonna formerly gotten actual, the west by like a, like steve jerusalem and the goal hodge. the us move the little bit more diligently to hold is real back a little bit because there was a mass of outpouring of opposition to this policy in the us knew that it would be for if israel went ahead and did this. but the truth is that there is, you know, they, the american president and vice president the other say this low daylight between israel under us. they mean that in the sense that the u. s. o, a support is really one protective, but it also does not. they like also means that the policies of israel and the policy is the thing that understand some of the sentiments of the nightstands are
4:34 am
essentially identical. and this, beyond, that was the 11 months that we've seen now of the gather situation of the many years of activities that as well as undertaken, there's no doubt that the united states is not a serious about a 2 state solution. it's not serious about posting and self determination. it says these things. it's to assess these things over time, but it's not serious. it's not telling the truth, or it just says something, but it has no intention of following up. and this is the form of racism that apartheid as well. it gives these nice phrases to these arabs and muslims on palestinians on these dark people in the south. yeah. tell oh yeah, we're working for 2 states. so we're from itself that the original. but there's no intention of fruit of ever doing that. and so this is all part of a cycle that's getting more and more vicious now and more worry. as you said,
4:35 am
a very, very worrying development that's come now from the office, usually saying from these ready minute, 3 by shutting down bureau for 45 days in ramallah in occupied west bank. and just a reminder for our view is that the bureau, which is our main office in occupied to us bank in ramallah, has been shut down by these ready military. a slight difference to n bureau in the occupies is roosted. them was shut down because that was an order from the is rated government this time when it comes to occupied westbank that comes under the ju restriction of these really military. so this is a military order. we have pictures that we've been showing of that. so at that moment, when the res happens by the is really minute treat in full get, it was a complete surprise rate. they can see those pictures that we were filming earlier
4:36 am
. all camera mine that was filming, that's what needs an arm and a holding a piece of paper. he's bureau chief and he was reading it out, live on a and fine. and from what i have seen at the time, he didn't really have a choice to fully read it out on that before they were making it very clear that i'll solve how to collect all that belongings and leave within 10 minutes of that arrival. now the fox, it is really military and turned off in that way. uh, you know, dressed in the minute trees. let's see. if this is the 1st time office that has been shut down. certainly not way. it's for $45.00 days. uh, subject to being extended as we have of course, seen with our other office in israel, which has continuously been extended among for a month. it can be appealed,
4:37 am
it seems legally whether anything would come of that it would remains to be seen. but the fact that is really ministry is that in the law which is governed by the palestinian authority, they are able to move in as out of occupied westbank as and when they choose regardless of the policy. and as far as the, the being and charging of some parts of the west bank. and that just shows the, the is really ministry's role and how it carries out these daily nightly raids. we was speaking to rami who, who is a distinguished fellow at the american university of bay routes who is joining us from boston. we'll be checking in with him very soon once again. but i would like to go to him if honda is available for us now. um home the subheads
4:38 am
is uh, in my mind in georgia and uh, she joins us live and its of course was remaining out here is once again the reason why comes uh, essential is in mind. and jordan in the 1st place is because our, it seems, we will kicks house of israel from being able to report on any of what's happening with the causal, any of these ready politics. and we are unable to operate the now of course, this has been extended to occupied was by a very troubling development homes, or is, is that is certainly a very troubling development. and to your comment about these really military reading, with full automatic weapons into edges, he does office, this is what is real, does best a show of force to let you know that they are in charge even in occupied territory
4:39 am
. this is area a of the occupied west bank that is supposed to be under full control of the palestinian authority. but these rarely military comes and goes as it pleases, conducts overnight, raids, often times killing palestinians destroying civilian infrastructure, destroying everything in their way, in order to carry out these raids. so it is no surprise that and just need as office was the next victim of these is really incursions in the occupied westbank. you know, back in may as jersey don't, was banned from reporting within israel, which is why we are here in a mind and have been since then. it also goes to show you just how much these really government antagonizes, the network antagonizes it's journalist, the history, israel's record against that is as he speaks for itself, just look at the list of and just need a journalist who have been killed by is really forces with full impunity with no
4:40 am
sort of justice, no sort of accountability whatsoever. and just tonight, outside of our office in drop, my love, these really military tearing down photos of shooting a walk from the, from the balcony. shooting, i will, i'll let was the voice of palestine, a journalist who was revered throughout the middle east, one of the most famous journalists of our time in the era world. she was brutally murdered by these really military. in janine while she was covering a raid in 2022 and there has still been no accountability for her killing and shooting is also an american city. said, you know, the united states often does have words when there is an american citizen who was killed. but when it came to city and there was no justice, there was no account ability, none whatsoever. so this latest is really decision decision rather comes after a series of antagonizing events that these really government had instilled against
4:41 am
the network against the network from strives for truth telling and for exposure and holding the people in power accountable for their actions, exposing the truth when we were banned back in may. it came after a series of events that began in october when these rallies 1st wanted to shutter the network. they then stopped issuing government press cards. you are only allowed to report in israel. if you are verified with the g p o office and you've been issued a card, you're allowed to come there and work at a certain point. couple of weeks after the war began and dizzy, there was no longer able to obtain those cards. this was only the beginning, and the antagonist ation was only just starting in april. these really government had formally passed a law in the is really can mess if that's the parliament that had passed with a majority. this was
4:42 am
a bill that was brought forth by the communications minister slomo pod, he in order to shut the network saying that in a time of war, israel can take measures that will show. 1 her for networks that harm its national security, that they deem a threat to their national security claims. of course, that have been refuted time and time again, claims that have no sort of backing or basis to them whatsoever. so once that decision came out within b is really government. it was up to nothing. yahoo was up to these really prime minister for when he wanted to sign that into law. and it took a little over a month, but then he finally did it. he signed the a loss and then as soon as he does offices in occupied east jerusalem were rated, the equipment was confiscated and all of the journalists left the country. and we opened up and started our operations here. and i man, and look, we have been covering the story from the israeli side. these really government, this really politics,
4:43 am
these really military. we've been covering that expensive weight. so no matter what these really government hopes these bands will achieve, the truth will still come out there. the reporting will still get done from the journalist who have given every thing to cover this story over the last year. and as you said, have the, the, it's was reminding of course of use that so to me, when the sci fi, the only c 50 that was ever agreed upon that actually materialize, which was back in november. no, i was covering that from in front of the acadia, which is the defense ministry in tel aviv so many people that would come up to myself. other team members, jonas, i'm sure including yourself has said, you know, that so all, you know, national security threat. and when we explained the, actually, we had covered the cx, 5 deal of the gatherings of the families of those held captive. so extensively
4:44 am
daily, every hour, every single hour we were doing lives from the we was a mule, then some of the local is really channels covering these really politics and is really latest lines. we saw us and they have called the both sides and we subsidy were the ones that broke the story on the international news channels. sockets, the day the outside of the 7, the tax also happens. um, where does this uh, kind of you're either with us or against us mentality, come from a, in terms of the government, but also in terms of the public believing what the government is saying on this. this is the most right wing government in israel's history with a history of antagonizing palestinians. i mean look at who is made up of nets and yahoo cabinet look at who the members are who hold quite high level positions.
4:45 am
you've eaten more, ben, beer, big national security minister, a known alter nationalist, a person who lives in an illegal settlement, who has convictions against him for incitement against the palestinians. for supporting a tara group that is designated as terrorism, in israel for its incitement, violence and crimes. against palestinians in the country. this is a person who's now in charge of police and israel, you bets and it's not rich. the country's finance minister also known alter nationalist who has had very severe rhetoric when it has come to israel's war on dogs. up saying that israel is not doing enough, and when it comes to the occupied westbank, what has he said, he has said that there should be full annexation now, full annex ation. and under the fall of the war on gods, these really military has carried out atrocity after atrocity in the occupied was bank read after a night after night, you know, before the war,
4:46 am
it was already on record to be the deadly year for palestinians that was 2023, and now we are well above those figures, the ending the year 2024, nearly a year into the war. so when it comes to israel's government, when it comes to the antagonist, nation of journal is the antagonist nation of palestinians. imagine your leadership, this is the country of leadership from the very top. so is distilling and stealing this hate within the public. of course the rhetoric is dangerous because you had individuals who were going to the office in west jerusalem looking for and just need a searching for journalist. why. why had that happened because of the rhetoric that was brought by those right wing members of the government. i don't know if it's worth mentioning as gina is not the only victim to this. there are several other networks who have also been affected by these bands. you had and may
4:47 am
a d in back in october and november who was banned by these really government for a long period of time. and then remember that at a certain point the associated press ac had their equipment confiscated because they were showing pictures of the gospel guidelines. and we had as, as you know, we're using them, they're a wire agency for those who are unfamiliar. there are several wire agencies throughout the world. the network subscribed to pay for the footage and use it. and this is an image that is used all around the world by all networks from every country. and these really government had confiscated the equipment of the associated press saying that they were quote, giving just eat up troop movements. this is the rhetoric from the is really government. and also, earlier in the year after the network was after the network was banned, there was a lot of antagonist ation of palestinian an arab journalists who were covering protests intel a b. so these really governments rhetoric about engines,
4:48 am
data about palestinian journalists in general, has a long standing history. and as you said, the homes are, which is what i was mentioning earlier, is that many of the teams, including international teams, were being racially profiled if you like. because as being assumed to be of our background or palestinian background and such and the as seems to be working for all just there are homes us on who the and i'm not in georgia and hold the slip because we will be coming back to but fast is writing forces and so they all to 0 is office building in the, in the early hours of sunday morning. this is just a reminder of the 1st moments off the is ready soldiers present to $1.00 to for these already with the order shots thing, the 0 down, let's take a listen to what he was saying. as a i'd rather than i'd love with my idea of who this is with statement that was
4:49 am
brought to us by the israeli army. the statement includes in order to shut down our elders here office for 45 days, buying a young woman. well, as i thought i was getting, you saw that this is a decision that was made by one of the is really generals. he is ordering us to immediately leave the office phone and take our personal belongings and cameras. and that was the other other stuff. so yeah, i mean who i was coming out. i said that, but i, i told him that as of the clients, the, the army says we have only 10 minutes to take our belongings and leave the office so they can shut it down and then send out of the the office will be closed for $45.00 days about setup. love you? yes. okay, and what uh, what is the reason most of the reason is in the statement, kind of look at it down or something to give us a copy of it to you. i will keep a copy of the statement with you and for any concerns or issues. you can go and speak to our ministry, come on the, the army headquarters. i'm with the data that comes out of being
4:50 am
a oh man walk. and he says that the order is to shut down the office for $45.00 days and the rest of the details are at their headquarters. and the reason is that, let me see the reason for the escape. whether you can keep this coffee as well. let's go back to the homes of soho. it's again uh in a mine in georgia. and then again remind to for of use of just joining the israel has find out. is there a from operating that in is row a now that has been extended also to cover occupied west bank, whereas you had the, our bureau chief that was reading out that order when is really ministry personnel storms our office and this has been a fee that has existed for a while for not just our journalists in general, but also those specifically and occupied westbank because of the well known as
4:51 am
riley minutes. free tac 6 all carries out. i'm just wondering if we have those pictures again, but we were seeing a layer of a shooting, a block list post being taken down for we show views of that video once again. just to be able to talk about the little bit more homes we should be seeing in any moment. those pictures that all of stream block a veteran journalist who was killed mode is in fact by the is really military in jeanine rescue g time. that was how opposed to being stripped down, taken down by the is riley soldiers, that stones the office. and this is exactly what they have been doing pretty much since ha, okay. in 2022 and fox it's goes beyond
4:52 am
just an accident or a mistake and a mistake, which is what's in his really investigation. seemed to lead to shane eyeball cuz he was saying that hums uh it was an american citizen. she was very much passionate about the policy in the as how this thing is living in occupied was by, on the occupation. she was test of able to move around for the easy perhaps because of that jewel national, a nationality. but despite that, and despite force from the us to investigate that further, nothing ever came to it. but it's important to remind our view is that when we talk about these daily rays that we see in occupied was by come to talk us through the daily rate. we also almost daily sometimes see in occupied east jerusalem. a place that brings all 3 really is give a 2 days of christianity as well as
4:53 am
a slam because we have many palestinians living and occupied east jerusalem. the are living under a very similar circumstances to the potter's sinews in oxford occupied was like can you talk us through that part because that sometimes can be often for boston the palestinians in occupied east jerusalem have what is called blue i the they do not hold any sort of citizenship, of course, sounds that may hold the citizenship to another country, but they do not hold is rarely citizenship. and many of them are state lists. we have spoken to, i want to say hundreds of thousands of palestinians who are st. louis who do not have anything but this blue id. and when you have this blue id, israel says that it's freedom of movement within israel's freedom of movement across the occupied territories. so you, while you can do other is this sort of freedom of movement. there are intense
4:54 am
military check points all over the country, not just in the occupied westbank, looking, searching for palestinians to antagonize. this is a policy of these really military that has been going on for decades. the occupation has been going on for 76 and a half years. the is really military measures that are taken and occupied east jerusalem are very similar to what we see in the occupied west bank. you have the sure fault, the refugee camp that has also become a flash point for some of these is really military incursions. you have several other neighborhoods across to east jerusalem, a food city, land web, etc, who have been subjected to this. and not even to mention the forced demolitions that is real carries out on palestinians in their homes who they accuse of building without permits. so there is a long list of is really crimes that has been going on for decades in the occupied is jerusalem. and in the occupied west bank and as you said, demolitions,
4:55 am
everything from grades of homes being demolished under the pretext of not having a permanent even though roughly 99 percent of permits, the policy needs apply. full, often all rejects is and then of course we have a look for most compounds. uh, the said hurriedly as sites for muslims and many of the uh washer because every friday that try to go through that most to pray or time to weigh. often with a gas and very violent tax, it comes up. so what we're going to have to leave the, i'm afraid, but we have some more news that's coming in from as well. and the last few minutes . in fact, more rockets have been 5 from 11 on towards high, so that support city in israel, let's quickly go to live, to ali hash in his life for us in the lebanese compass will be root. holly, what more do we know on this latest round of rockets?
4:56 am
just soon moments ago, a silence sounded in several areas to the sofa. high fun. it seems in you better age was launched from 11 on to what's that area? of course, if you hours ago. and around 15 rockets were launched from 11 or it shows the lock claimed responsibility for what it's called the launch of the a 5 you $1.00 and $5.00. the 2 rockets to watch the are not the the database that and that's according to has the loss statements and retaliation too. as well as on boarding golf several of them in these areas under killing of civilians. now we're seeing another barrage being launched towards almost the same region. now the 7 areas where the sirens were astounding. of course, there are no footage coming from is right. i can see that on the telegraph channels
4:57 am
showing into sections of course, if need some time to know what the impacts are, whether it's the same at a base. of course, this database from on the feed was a friend by has will last, jones in july this year. and they showed them in why they called the a they showed them on their media one for shadow. so it seems this is the same context, but we don't know if this is now the new barriers in retaliation to the kidding golf. that combines that on the a couple of attacks of tuesday or wednesday. okay, thanks very much. the house and i'm not lazy. stop days on those latest rockets the and they roots that came from they will draw the towards from 11 on raw. that's was northern israel. just a very quick recap uh before we come back on. uh uh, breaking news is that our office in occupied westbank has been shut down for 45 days by these riley military. this is of course, the latest in austin,
4:58 am
shut down by the is ready authorities. the 200000 south korean children have been adopted by families worldwide since the 1915th. but in the search for their identity. many us up to have found the train of falsified talk and traffic to 11 east reveal south korea's chime adoption on 0 to 0. the are now in california, at least in pos and the central valley. it is still quite helped in sacramento, the state capital damages. so if you want to order it for about $56.00 us describe just hold their long heat wave territory, but nevertheless, how the normal. whereas in contrast, the temperature dropping through the plane states in the midwest is this line,
