is below launched that 2nd sprint from lebanon against is there a lot of coverage, a, the question that everybody has been posing as well, whether it crosses the threshold of an all out war, or continues to be uh, what can be referred to as a, a border skirmish of warner war rather than a lot more of the skirmish now. we're definitely the cost of the border skirmish, but we're talking about an expectation of some $300.00 civilians that it could last their lives when sig, residential hire. i just where to rock down in a matter of minutes. so again, if has something to throw that is in fact killed. that is, that is momentous and that that is, history may be for 11 and, and for israel. but even the new, explore that little further. what would that mean? i mean, on the one hand, what does it mean for his blind? i've asked that question to a number of our guests, and a couple of them have told me, well, look, has belie, has in the past, you know,

has been able to find other leaders and just realize considered to be a skilled at his job. uh, for lack of a better way of putting it, so it may be difficult to replace them if that's what they need to do, but they would replace them ultimately. so can i focus you then on the question of how, what has below respond to this? i absolutely know how to answer that question. this is not the 1st time that israel would have successfully targeted and killed the leader of isabella. in 1992 of beth and use of the secretary general time was also killed. but that said, his butler today is not his bella of 1992. it's a completely different animal, not only just 11, but throughout the region. it's activities in iraq and syria in yemen. so this will have much more profound consequences. and then the man himself, yes, on the left is the most charismatic most powerful,

most influential leader that the organization has ever known. and now also we have, i think this in the broader context of what israel has done in the, in the scope of just 10 days. israel has essentially successfully eliminated the entire military leadership of his below, with the exception, the normal exception of one i the category. but this is only a destination of the military structure of bell at this point. and so this is very significant. no doubt there will be an attempt to replacing coupling this for a lot, but this will have profound impact if true. and again, if there's an error there, there are ronnie in general, senior generals that are also killed. as a result of this, we have to worry about regional contagion and the possibility of iran be being dragged into. okay, that's an important thing that you're putting on our radar. there's us on this router, but who else might have been there? if he was there, who else might have been there? that's. that's something that will bear in mind throughout my director of strategic

outreach and a senior fellow at the middle east institute. thank you very much. speaking in the last hour, the us secretary of state anthony blinking has called for a diplomatic solution to the conflict between israel and has but not listen to this . it's a no one's interest to have a water conflict. so we're working in every possible way to prevent that from happening now in terms of where we think this should go, you know, going back simply to october 6th, in terms of the border between the lebanon. israel is, is not sufficient because it's not simply a matter of having a ceasefire that is, has the law firing into israel, israel responding and in a tit for tat. what's necessary is to create the conditions, including moving forces back such that people in both northern israel and southern lebanon, have the confidence to return home. teresa though,

was listening to that news conference july for us from new york. so theresa, our previous guess was telling us that that ceasefire push from the us was dead on arrival. and yet here we are. we heard a us x ray state anthony blinking still pushing diplomacy, saying diplomacy is the path forward. and that is what they favor can you run us through how he laid that out a plus setting and we were just attending secretary of state, lincoln's press conference here. and again, he started insisting that this will have so light to defend itself, but that it matters how it does it. and this that it was said just a few hours after attacking beveled in a densely populated area. the irony of a whole of anthony of lincoln sabbath. that's as well as i said before, has the right to continue fighting. who has pointed out? that's what is what has been doing that they're defending themselves. but he also spoke about the possibility of

a cease fires and 11 on and then got. so he said that is well how to cheat as a military objective. and that's now what's the time to move forward to get the cap tips we leave for. as for humanitarian assistance to resolving. gotcha. and again to achieve a ceasefire, he also said that the united states as military assets located that the terrans at this point is a priority for that. this one is that they're also working towards the film a fee towards a ceasefire. but let me tell you that this past few months with been listening a lot about the possibility of ceasefire agreement, especially in guys at this point in time when it comes to us. well, the announcement is completely different. that's what we've seen here in new york. the possibility of this 120 day sixty's fire and live and on the minutes a prime minister banyon and nothing. yeah. who landed here in new york. he said something different and said that is what i was going to continue. fighting again has for that, in fact, if that's exactly what we heard doing his speech at the general assembly. so

suddenly, when you are here, when you're listening to united states sufficient, it seems that at this point the us government has no leverage when it comes to escrow or to the government of menu mean nothing. no, no to zeros. theresa bo reporting from new york. thank you very much for that welcoming now. everyone who might be just joining us. it has just passed 21 hours, gmc, and there is breaking news out of 11 knowing where israel has bombed a densely populated civilian. the area in bear with 7 suburbs is real, saying that it's a tax targeted has bloss central command headquarters in dia, the reuters news agency reporting that hezbollah secretary general has some. this rela, is a live citing a source close to the group. now, at least 12 explosions were heard. and this year what you're seeing on your screen is the immediate aftermath of those strikes. heavy plumes of smoke could be seen over da, here is really strikes for the most powerful, yet seen in the lebanese capital over the past. year levin's government says at

least 2 people were killed and 76, others injured, but that death toll is expected to rise and possibly quite sharply. options 0 is dosage of our using the route for us. it's midnight where your door. so what's your information on what's going on in da here right now? as regards residents may be fleeing or not. and as regards the, the scene of the strike well, at the scene, we understand emergency for so continue to work through the rubble of the aftermath of what used to be at least 6 residential buildings. but i've now been completely destroyed as they are trying to retrieve bodies. we spoke to people on the ground with this is who says that they have seen shows or as bodies that have been taken out to the emergency services. and they've bodies have been transferred to a various hospitals. we've seen a number of ad dylan says,

even where we are about 7 kilometers from here that we have to remember, this is the most intense air strike we have seen by israel over the past few months . uh, what are the most intense, some say, even since the last 4 between israel and hezbollah and 2006, at least 10 missiles and rockets fired at these buildings. so what israel says it was targeting, as well as central command center, without providing any evidence. now we are waiting to hear from has the law. we have not heard any official statements from this group so far. what we do know is that there is going to be a very high number of casualties. this is a densely populated area that he has home to about 700000 people that we do those since the strikes began in da here last week on friday. that killed $52.00 people, including 16 members of hezbollah, badgers from the red run units. and many of the residents of da here have decided

to leave and evacuate their homes. as we do understand, there's at least 20 percent of the population still left behind. they don't have the means to go anywhere else. this strike happened in the similar stress manner that we've seen in the past for strikes. over the past week, there was no warning given to residents to evacuate. there was no prior advance notice to anyone in that area at 1st civilians to be able to escape for evacuate the vicinity of these attacks. we have seen a graphic images of huge craters created in the ground and cars dug into those craters of the house. but history has said that 2 people have died so far, at least $76.00 injured, but those numbers we expect to be much higher in the coming days. we also understand from the 5 minutes through the interim caretaker prime minister's office that you could talk to you that he has cut his trip short in new york. he is on his way back to 11 on and there will be an emergency,

a session of at the government's health. as soon as he arrives, it gives you an idea of how serious the situation is now. residents here, the capital felt the blast all around the room. there was a very much sense of chaos and panic as it happened. people not knowing where the attack was initially, but really this creating. 2 their environment, a fear of headaches and then already traumatize a civilian population. the officer was dosage of ari reporting from the lebanese capital where it's just past midnight. thank you very much store so. so dorothy was explaining that as below has not officially communicated about that is really strike and what it targeted, whether they stripe was successful or not. well, in the last hour, hezbollah has said, however, that it has fired rock is at israel's northern city of stuff that it is the 1st strike announced by the group since israel target and they root earlier today is rarely police say there is extensive damage as a result of bullying,

shrapnel. this is a scene here inside israel and no casualties have been reported. we have some is entire in 711 on bring us up to date on the latest where your lot's are over the past few hours. the couple of brides that's were launched. what is read all the few minutes of this area and the my background was head for them is really straightforward. the i'll comment on how you can show us i'm it seems it was a very huge struggle. of course, it's nothing to can be compared to what happened in a route, but this is one of these strikes that keep a blaze keep. probably it's in a green area in a, for us somewhere like that. and of course, this would continue to warn all the nights and now it was west. victor has with

laws by stewards, as well. the 10s of rockets launched and actually they didn't see a lot of physical activities, less lunches except for these 2 big ones. of course, during the day with the attendance office where the strikes late, this was this, the one we showed you with also that was the one on that. and then what just like the joint hit the motorcycle and they're all. so although it strikes you towards the be call into us, so the area is of course one issue which is very rare on the town above that, on ali. the is really military says it is ready for a ground operation. we don't know whether they intend to conduct the ground operation or not, but i'm wondering is that something that as belong is potentially prepared for the quote 7 today after they routes talk. i think all the cards have been mixed. and

given the fact that now was, is really stressing and trying to achieve this, i hate to was to the command change because of the law. i think all the levels, all the layers of the combined issues will love. it's complicating the situation, however, i mean, and at the end there might be a broad invasion, but it's right. it's trying, it's, or a grinding course incursion is right, is trying to achieve a lot of its own objectives to air by hitting for us such as the, the strike we saw him, big woods. this was a very massive strike. and to the moment we understand what's the result of this strike and who was killed in this flag and the level or the depth of, of destruction within the structure of the law. and this strike then we would know

how feasible lives going to deal with all the challenges, right? so the main challenge because of the laws to bring back itself after being hit such a hit. of course, a lot of speculations with respect to who was killed in this, in this attack, and how this is going to have impact on the organization. probably has the lives much more complicated and complex than being destroyed in a, in one head like this. and i had your, your guess talking about how this structure is it's, it's different from 1992 in 1992 husband law, 63 general skills, and then they throw on. there was a different foss with a new need to, and they are used to such situations. and this is a group that's been around for the past. 45, you 43 years, so probably they can just go across this. but the main issue here is

this is a hit in the middle for war, and that's why things are really sensitive and not easy for is out of the house. i'm thanks to you and your team. so you're reporting, stay safe. and we will come to you again just bringing home to us of which was life for us from amman. jordan, no home that you've covered much of this war from we used to speak to you from occupied east jerusalem. but of course the is really government has banned out from 0 from reporting within israel for the last 2 months. so you're continuing your coverage from amman. jordan, what is being said in israel? what are these really authorities, whether military or civilian, saying about the strike and bear with this afternoon as well. let's start with the strike that took place earlier these really military saying that it was a targeted and precise strike on his the command center, but not really mentioning who the person or persons that were the target work. but just in the last several minutes, these really armies spokesperson, daniel,

how gary did give a statement, saying that the army is assessing the, the results of this strike. and they will get back to the public when they have more information. but he ended that statement by saying, but the strikes was incredibly precise. now i want to point to something else that he was saying that is drawing up some concern. now he's saying that the military is going to be conducting more airstrikes in bossier, saying that there are a lot of his bullet capabilities there, that the army is going to target. and it just goes on with the rhetoric that we've been hearing from is really officials throughout the last 24 hours throughout the last couple of weeks. but also throughout the last several months when they have really up to their rhetoric, when it came to the situation on his roles, northern border, these really defense minister, the prime minister, the head of the army. everyone has been involved in these discussions saying that they are not going to allow the situation to be as is on his roles,

northern border. additionally, these really army spokesperson has said that is really air force. jets are now monitoring the area in the vicinity near beta it's international airport. so there are a lot of moving parts here, but the biggest of these moving parts is the looming ground invasion, something that israel has said they would do if needed. these really air force has said that they would assist from the ground to the troops that would be invading lebanese territory. so there are a lot of spears and a lot of concerns here, but one thing is for certain and that this part of the conflict that seemingly is turning into a full scale war is certainly not over. i'm the, you know, is really interesting about your reporting and everything that you're bringing to us, which is very interesting and i thank you for that. is that it's, it feels like almost completely disconnected from what we're hearing in new york. and other words in new york is talking about diplomacy. they're talking about a ceasefire. they're talking about coming things down, right. the us, uh, uh,

secretary of state that you and, and bassett, or uh, the us ambassador to the un. and what you're telling me is about military readiness, about this biggest strike on the route that we've seen this year. and about readiness for a round operation. is there any talk? it is real at the moment of a ceasefire or negotiation or diplomacy. as you know, 0 what's happening on the ground within israel. 11 non gaus. uh the occupied palestinian territories. and what happens after you in general assembly almost seems like parallel universe types of situations because you have delegates at the un saying they're pushing for diplomacy. they're pushing for a diplomatic settlement when you have israel, who says that they're not interested in that previously, there were reports that benjamin netanyahu have greenwich, some sort of proposal to stop the fighting between israel and his butler. but when he arrived in new york on thursday, he had dispelled all of those reports,

saying that that is not true, that israel is going to continue on with its military actions. and that's because he was receiving a lot of pushback from members of his right wing. government known alternation was people who have pretty high positions in benjamin netanyahu, whose cabinet, who are against any sort of diplomatic solution to the conflict in the north. but it's also worth mentioning that these really defense minister you'll have the launch had been speaking to the us secretary of defense, lloyd austin, saying that the time for a diplomatic settlement had expired with his butler. and this is before these 2 weeks where the conflict has really ramped up, where there has been this dangerous escalation. so israel has been saying for some time actually that they're ready to use the method of de escalation through escalation. and the united states had told their ally that they understood that position. but meanwhile, you have delegates out the united nations who are saying that they're working on the diplomacy. that is what they would like. and then earlier in the day on friday,

you had benjamin netanyahu, who said that israel is being attacked on all fronts, that israel is looking for peace in the region all while conducting military activity and deadly air strikes, not just and loaded on, but also in gaza. so while he was preaching that the world is against israel, that the u. n. is quote, a body that is essentially disseminating n. t so medic, by all these are the words of these really probably minutes search. israel was attacking 2 separate places in the middle east. and it's worth mentioning that ever since nothing yahoo arrives to new york. all of his statements and comments have been about how his role is going to strike his boulevard. how this part of the war is not over and throughout the day we heard from that point was like nothing. yeah . who's defense minister, you'll have gone love who said there's still a lot of work to be done. i'm gonna have to run. but this is important reminder of yours. what is this is really theory of what is an escalation through the notes,

because i beg your pardon de escalation through escalation, because that's, i mean that there is explaining, again, the escalation through escalation is exactly what it says. what it means is exactly what it is that these are all is looking to spark a conflict that they are looking to de escalate the situation by essentially showing all of the military measures that they have by introducing much more force than they were previously to force the other side to come to a diplomatic settlement at this point, israel says that that is still their policy. they have a lot of work that needs to be done. and that this is the goal in window of opportunity for them, that they are not going to let up on. all right, so who to importing from amman? jordan, thank you very much for that. you and secretary general, antonio gutierrez, has called for a ceasefire between israel and as long as we mentioned in gutierrez, who was opening a un security council briefing on the middle east, said that the conflict threatens the entire region today is valid because forces

deluxe, even in buildings invaded, saying they have targeted as well as may have caught those located sees, and the nice water in lebanon would leads to further that escalation, involving outside the bowers i think is a part of the proposal for the temple or the ceasefire. allowing for the delivery of the email that into the leaves and paving the way for the resumption of serious negotiations for the doable piece across the blue line. we need this has fired now and our foreign ministers have been speaking at the united nations on the sidelines of the general assembly. saudi arabia's foreign minister fy. subbing for han called for a ceasefire and gaza and 11. we have been saying that, you know, for months now that this is an incredibly dangerous moment,

that the risk of the situation spiral out of control is real. and that is not the less the case. now it is indeed more of the case and that is why we continue to push for a ceasefire ceasefire certainly because the but also now deceased by 11 on because again, guns on off the answer in jordan's for administer. i'm in society warranted. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, whose policies that's the is really prime minister. his policies pose a danger to the entire region. almost a year ago, we stood before you here and we weren't of this moment now we're out it's. it's going to get worse unless the security council right behind us, for firms, it's duty and does what it has to do, protect reason into nice and peace unless it prevents this most tried to kind of as ready to government, a member of which was a member of an organization that the us itself had labeled as a terrorist organization. unless this stopped them list is government faces, consequences, then the whole region is falling into the best and the future of the whole region,

including the future as well. would it be compromised? that would be talking about the future of work that's bringing mike hannah, who is at un headquarters in new york. like what's going on today the you and i know there's a lot going on. so help our viewers sort of compartmentalize and understand what is actually happening in new york as well. there was a previous e scheduled due and security council meeting on gaza that had been scheduled for a long period of time. however, via vincent be route obsessively over shadowed the specifics of that particular session. because the speaker has been drawing a line between israel as well in casa and what is happening in living on escalating as it did in the course of the day. so overshadowing these proceedings, which is about gaza essentially, and about the occupation of kind of spilling territories, is the immediate situation, which is that will in 11 on. and that's a,

the bombing that took place in a route and unprecedented, attacked by israel in that city. but we keeping on hearing from it, we speak of saying, a sci fi is needed now a c spy in at 11 on is needed 21 day pause of facilities. but one must just remember as well that since the israel war and gaza began back last october, as it had been numerous attempts to get a cease fire in place in gaza at that has not succeeded. and one of the reasons that there's not succeeded is the us will to hits me to in the security council. and we've heard again from the us ambassador to this, to you in security council. making very clear that the us would not allow what she says, all unilateral actions in terms of how the student is ready relations. once again, you got a situation and the question arises. the security council could not affect se spot

in gaza. the question is, why does it believe that it can have a role in effecting a cx, 511 on now, that is a question that many members are skiing as well. yeah. makes total sense. that's a very fair question, mike. before i let you go and because i see the jordanian foreign minister speaking live at the security council, he's top right on our screen. and about an hour and a half ago when we started the previous show, the, our foreign ministers, they really seemed quite distressed. i wanted your opinion, i want to just your take your feeling for that you are used to, you know, seeing how these diplomats interact, then address the press and address a global audience from within the car doors of the united nations. from where i'm sitting, mr. i'm on society really seem highly concerned about the future of the middle east right now. a business sense of intense restoration

among arab nations watching as these events unfold and watching the apparent inability of the u. n. as a body to be able to de escalate the conflict. now you heard from the idea of foreign minister is something that has been said repeatedly for months, if not 2 years. and that is the root of all of this conflict is the ongoing is really occupation of the palestinian territories, which has not been addressed by the security council for the reasons that are outlined. so this is a sense of frustration that the error of nations have been crying for months if not years, that the situation is continually tenuous that it can escalate at any moment. that unless the root cause and that is ready, occupation is address. then the situation threatens to get out of control, the frustration that we're hearing in the course of the day from those that are part of ministers. is that now it has the situation as

a new friend coming with the war in gaza. now, spreading into live and on, and maybe even spreading the, the feels depending on who was injured or killed. and that's is right in the last one was for member of the israel, for example, accused is a wrong of being the mazda mind behind all these, this company and iran continues to say for its part that it is not interested in any way to conflict within the middle east, but the concern among israel's neighbors, among the error of nations in the middle east is that this is precisely what is happening by the diplomat. sits in the united nations and talk about effecting some form of ceasefire. a 1000 zeros. mike had a reporting from just outside un headquarters in new york. thank you very much, mike, for wrapping all of that up. we appreciate it. we continue to keep a close eye on what's happening inside that chamber and cyber security meeting chamber at the un right now,

the jordanian for administer. still speaking we will occasionally defend live to that. um let's see if we can bring in around the whole rely from boston, massachusetts. he is a distinguish fellow at the american university up there with rami. can you hear me just checking yeah, i can hear you fine. okay, great. wanted to make sure there was so much going on in the last few hours. benjamin netanyahu addressed the united nations general assembly after almost a full year of war and gaza. and that isn't even the most important thing that happened today. so i want to ask, you know, what, where do you want to start? what stands out to you most about the last 24 hours as a ruthless a violent and discriminated chilling of thousands of humans by the american supplied as really military the, their scale of killing. obviously it's a guys or was a trial. and now the real thing is starting to happen possibly. um the, you know,

the have been to da here many times. it's a, well, here's the, here's the 7 just to make sure we're all on the same page. now here's the southern suburb of the route, 700000 people live there as well. it's also considered it has belong stronghold, but just making very clear don't have yours. it's not a, it's not a military zone or can't by any stretch. it is a suburb of a capital city is the word document summer, but not advocate to the rule as a place where a lot of fear i just came from the south after the 1982 is rarely invasion of loving on an occupation of the south so that's because we can call the doctor, but physically bosky is like the the upper west side of new york city. there's one big apartment buildings hall next to each other. stockton, the ro, street after street avenue after avenue with shops on the ground floor. so it was full of commercial businesses, offices, barbara shops, bakeries, and then

a residential is going up $101520.00 stars. that's a very, very densely pack, the urban situation. and these rivers are just sending these 2000, found american bombs, one after the other was apparently no serious concern by the united states. the united states. uh uh, tony blinking who, who, who probably is the world's least credible human beings. so he is, the american secretary of state keeps talking about a piece plans a see as far as this and that and so we should from now on with them or tony blinking says we should expect the opposite to happen from these rivers because that's been the case for the last year or so, but this is really, it's a, it's a us, a fantastic, a make believe world where people so to you on and talk about things. western officials say things in french, the americans are a you. and then on the ground as well,

and his real go added with everything they have has bella hasn't fired all of their serious weaponry yet. and the outer states are nowhere to be seen. uh, they just don't have any serious role in this, unfortunately. and they are, people are really enraged by what's, what can they do? so, you know, how many you say they're nowhere to be seen? what could they do? the laser states the are most because when i heard the r in foreign minister speak at the us and, and i was just as i was just commenting with one of our correspondents, the jordanian foreign minister. make of that what you will seem to me at least to be genuinely distressed. oh, it is general, the distrust i know him while he here. your work was many years ago as a journalist and his very additional guy. but the government of jordan going to syria, the government of the i'm are rich, the government around me. sorry,

i have to jump in. we're going to take this live event. apologies for that rami this is the egyptian representative to lacrosse and against the united nations. this listing the bank us and the unjust aggression being waged against a occupied palestinian territory. we matter to the number of occasions to address the question of gaza. and we are here today. i'm calling for an end to the repeated, brutal savages, fairly aggression being perpetrated against civilians in cost that this is an ongoing from nearly a year. we call for an end to the blockade of an, an armed people, innocent children for being stripped of their, of any resources that they are losing their families. these families, they are starving, and they are experiencing disease in the midst of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe caused by this really occupation. this is and situation which me and

which resulted in 41000 that most their women and children were the 100000 people have been wounded. and there are those who are still buried under are viable, even though so survive. will continue to suffer difficulties for many years to come the before these really war and aggression machine has destroyed most of the buildings and infrastructure civilian buildings and infrastructure ingram including hospitals and schools, are systematically higher to this is to make the gaza strip. well, i'm, i'm on inhabitable and hardly what else and the causing it's residents to flee. and this is also expanded to the west bank despite the international calls to and the beloved loving towards israel calls to n, for israel to seize targeting civilians. despite the egyptian attempts with katara and the united states, despite the attempts of the united nations security council and adviser opinion of

the i, c, j on the humanitarian disaster. and these really occupation has continued to use as hunger as a weapon of war and continues to force people into fully their homes. and it has taken the hostage of palestinians and the rough, i passing them a check point. tennis prevented international organization from delivering command, train assistance and leaving the posting people without sufficient food without sufficient medicines. and this has been ongoing for months causing humanitarian catastrophe. egypt, madam president and the group of arab states, refuse to refuse origin to reject the targeting civilians we reject violence against civilians. and yet we have seen

that israel has obstinately so to, to carry up reprisals or to expand the conflict to what the ottoman, the resulting and conflagration in the region with more and more civilians being imperiled. we can tell them this. and this is unacceptable. as a whole, and i the media see, and it was of the specific features that then we call upon the world and a security council to bring in my business. and then this to and, and this is a logic and evident as an occupying power is the main direct responsible party for the situation which is currently taking place in gaza. responsible for the destruction, the occupying tower is responsible for the growing scale of the devastation and the conflict. so kind of edits of how the violence has to build

over from causes and to the west bank shopping, the shop and then 11 on and hundreds of 50 tons searches were claimed in lebanon and one day including women and children, they had exam israel like all states has obligations come to not obligations to implement all united nations security council resolution center. as a judgement from the subject is adopted since the beginning of the account of conflict and obligation to uphold the principles of by a towel, humanitarian law, as well as the rules of war. we stress that these rule are being flouted, brazenly, and the israelites enjoying complete impunity in this. this means the public opinion by you disagree, reviews the situation as an example of international hypocrisy. and example of double standards being applied on an auto. when, when we reject the mendacious,

free text for the ongoing, for, and aggression on demand, we reject the pre text that has been laid out by the occupying power and nothing related to the measures adapted to, to alleviate humanitarian consequences. in so far as these measures are not incredible, some of the best proof of this is the widening authorization and a famine. and because according to the one report that and to humana transit systems through there, about 5 through there, i'll have to check point is a direct consequence of is fairly military repeated attacks on the gaza strip, including the palestinian side of that crossing point. we reject this is and we cautioned against this, this is collected on punishment. all the targeting the posting and people that we met with. and this is

a situation which has the vendor deliver it from that time suspense, impossible even suicidal. there are direct threats posed to humanitarian personnel . we extend our condolences to the families of this amount of trained workers who have been killed, including united nations personnel, specifically those of bond or why the ongoing humanitarian operations will be possible. if israel a shoulders this responsibility and easily withdraw us from the post inside of their rafa crossing court and, and this is rose a bit. it's to the control of the posting it. ok. we will take you back to that speech, but for now we want to show you this. i understand that it's a night time shot, but what you're seeing is the aftermath of a new hit on da here. the southern suburb of the lebanese capital bay, fruit member down here is 700000 people lived there. there was a major strike earlier today, the largest we've seen. and just in the last few minutes,

there has been another strike presumed to be in his really strikes on da. here they have been you're, you're still seeing the embers and the fire glowing their right of the base of that too much smoke. so this is the, this is the scene in da here, 7 capital of the route as we speak. it is just $21.00. 39, gmc is after midnight local time and they were, we wanted to show you that we're keeping an eye on it. we don't yet have more information on what's happening on the ground there, but we will try and gather that information as quickly as we can and bring it to you. for now though, we go back to that speech the egyptian representative at the united nation so so that they can resist on that territory because of the west bank madness and jerusalem. no, uh, despite all attempts to expel these people, this is a red line for us which we will not allow to be traversed. the

international community has an obligation to adopt a clear stance in this regard without the double standards and without delay. the security council can make a difference on the ground if there is political will to and if this is since here. and lastly, i wish to turn to the roll towards which we have fire it a roll to be played by the security council. and then some of the through the leverage enough mechanisms which are added to disposal at this critical turning point in the middle east. and the that'd be go 1st and foremost to compel israel to accept a ceasefire. an immediate cease fire. we might be very beautiful. this is the best way to resolve, to end the bloodletting, to and of the aggression in lab and on. and to give me your web screen on alpha 0

right now, you're seeing diplomacy being conducted at the united nations. that's the egyptian representative that we've been listening to security council meeting on gaza. but the bottom right of your screen, this is what we're going to be focusing on right now. there has just been a new strike on da here. the southern capitol of a route where hundreds of thousands of people live where there was a major strike earlier today. a strike that may have targeted has belie leader us on the throttle. or there has been speculation over the past few hours about whether he was still alive with the reuters news agency saying, according to their sources, p is alpha 0 is dorothy jabari is in be route for us to door. so we continue to look at this city scape of dia, what are you learning? well, we're just getting reports from our colleagues who are near the southern solver as a route that to israel has struck again at another location in this densely

populated area of as they route to the reports that we're getting is that 3 brothers have been targeted now since the previous attack on friday, a few hours ago as the emergency personnel are struggling clearly to deal with the aftermath of that extensive and uh, what are the biggest attacks that israel has carried out in that area in recent years and the attack that took place earlier on friday, so at least 6 residential buildings, big completely levels. so there was a huge presence of emergency crews at that location. now, at the latest attack that we're hearing about, it's not clear where exactly in relation to the earlier attack happen. but it's fix the question, where are there any emergency personnel in the area were there any civilians still there in those buildings that the is or the army has targeted?

so at the areas within, down here are densely populated, the neighborhood is home to about 700000 people over the past 7 days. at least this is now will be the 6 air strikes that israel has carried out in this area alone. many people here and believe that israel is now launching a whole show war on the lebanese people, not just has will out because these buildings are populated by civilians. israel's claim that they are targeting at has the commanders, has, will a command headquarters as well. a weapons is being disputed and disregarded because people civilians are living in these buildings caught in between the strikes and the many residents have spoken to over the past few days. and da here say it is clear, israel does not distinguish between a member of has the law and 11 use civilians. they don't care who they hits is what

i was told. we are just in the way they are. they have no regard for human life. they will attack continuously until they claim whatever kind of victory they face this is going to achieve. now i have to tell you over the past hour, who in this location in downtown barrels on the street for the past 6 hours or so over the past hour, which is just around midnight here. we see an influx of vehicles moving around us. and we've also heard from some of our colleagues who have gone along the coordination here. they said there, there is a large presence of vehicles that have escaped from as the area of da here. so it gives us an idea of how much chaos and panic there is in that moment. ok, remember the drug door, so there it as we want to listen and it was tuning, the saudi represented investor. so the phone on this other on your story was

speaking this session of the security council meeting in new york at the you, any international peace and security that culminated clearly in your started collecting permission of the state of found assign the found this was in, in question remains the most important crisis that requires the attention of your oh gosh and the council as grave is there any violations continue and as you mediterranean situation is deteriorating. we clearly see the dangerous implications of prolonging despises, unwinding the conflict through the latest military escalation and not been on the silver law since last october. already. there were 6 draft resolution with where the veto was used out. those 10 left and the resolutions that would adopt it so far, failed to achieve a cease fire failed to address the catastrophic humanitarian situation and failed to pave the way for a credible and electrical path towards peace. we wonder,

what does the council meet and the suffering to implement the international law? it is clear that there is a widening gap between international consensus and divides within the council, which undermine are good for foreman's an outcome boddeson. the general assembly is excessive. as a lucian, that's reflected what our country is, we're calling for the urgent need for a ceasefire, providing humanitarian assistance to the strip and come without interruption and the right amount of students to self determination. we value you as an ocean of the ga that recognize the eligibility of palestine for full membership at the when by virtue of which palestine received additional privileges, as well as the latest, the resolution that's called on israel to end its occupation of the past indian territory show you the new policy, what it requires, a password from your counsel as requires courage, commitment to implementation of the legal and moral responsibility to end. this

crisis falls on the shoulder of your augusta council. however, and your political divide 0 out of undermined me the talks of the counsel and prevented the counselor from shouldering its responsibility. and then i thought of hopefully somebody was going to do it. when israel even diffuses me to recognize the test, a solution continues with unit a set of unilateral measures that undermine the prospect of a passive. i want to therefore, because i say it is high time for a serious partnership. it's important piece i called on the members of the international community, especially the countries in the council that does not recognize that there is the state of palestine to do so, to support the, to stay solution and to maintain the prospect for no existence and a sustainable piece of that it was in the kingdom believe that's ending the occupation and implementing the 2 state solution is the basis for ending the the cycle of violence to alleviate suffering, achieve security and stability. and the regional therefore,

along with our partners in the joint just comic, i mean a serial committee as well as the kingdom of nowhere. and we launched deep into a national alliance for implementing the 2 state solution because we feel responsible to act, to change the reality of the conflict without delay. in conclusion, that with your firm or commitment to establishing the palestinian states as an independent pasting estate along the borders of 1967 with east jerusalem as capitol hill in order for the palestinian to achieve that and have tried to self determination. i thank you kind a spring so, so for his statement, i know give the floor to are okay. they're continuing to watch this a split screen event and split screen reality, really a to opposite ends of the world. what you're seeing in the center of your screen is

down here, the southern capital, a southern suburbs of the lebanese capital. they ruth, and what you were seeing, the bottom of your screen, where the proceedings at the un security council, as specifically the saudi foreign minister who is addressing the council, saying that the u. n. is responsible for ending these really policy and conflict and, and also reiterating actually this is new. that saudi has no launch and international alliance for implementing a 2 state solution between israel and palestine. ok, let's bring in a semi arm as associate professor at northwestern university in kentucky. thanks for joining us. it's pretty late, but we're trying to pick and what's happening. there's, there's a lot of moving parts. there's the diplomacy going on. east coast of the united states, and then there's the reality as that's what we're seeing play out on our screens. we're watching da here. um, a suburb of the root. the reason we're watching it is because in the last few

minutes there has yet again been in this really strikes. so that would be the 6 possibly 7th strike this week. and you heard from our correspondence that the lebanese now feel the israel is waging a full blown work not just against has belonged. she made a point of saying that, but now especially the people who live in the field of this is a we're on them. yeah. and it's, uh, it's very difficult just watching the images of my city being blown up. um, i think i'd, i'd like to maybe start and the, the other end of the world with which one the, the, you on go ahead side of the world. yeah. cuz we live in an upside down world, i think where the, where work women all like, nothing. yeah. who can go and in the midst of a plausible genocide that the i, c, j is called a plausible genocide. sort of, one of the tools of international law has, has called this a plausible genest. i couldn't go to the un and give

a speech. and that's to you and declare that you know, this action against the route. and by the way, i'm confines that when you say work, criminal benjamin netanyahu, the father of yours. yes. the facts or the chief prosecutor at the international criminal court, once an arrest warrant out against him for crimes and crimes against humanity. the i, c. c has not issued that arrest warrant just yeah, so they throw that out there. so i think, you know, one of the, one of the problems, and again, this upside down world is that the principal is blamed for bringing this on to lebanon. and for, you know, bringing on this destruction and i, i've very much convinced that actually it's, these are normalizing states that are really the ones who are at fault here because they're doing nothing. so we see the, the and busters these diplomats who are just kind of doing word solids. when you say the normalizing states, do you mean the ones that have already normalized related ones or as much as a, b,

u, e. and the abraham accord, such as the u, a, e jordan egypt, but also saw directly to have a peace treaty with this. yeah, but let's also, you know, let's call it what it is, but also saw you re bid that are doing nothing. and you asked the previous guess about what, what can you have states do? and i think, you know, at the, at the bare minimum, um, how does butler right now is doing what the international law says? one should do when there is a genocide as intervene. right. and the abstract and pause i've been getting across the country. okay, let's see. i'm not contradicting. i'm just, i'm providing just this little bit of context and the genocide convention, this is sort of yours. the genocide convention says that it is incumbent upon all members and parties to the genocide convention to prevent a genocide from happening. so. and so because you know, good i think are also for your viewers. we often times forget that genocide,

apartheid or crimes against humanity. yes, right, crimes against humanity means that their crimes against me and you and all are viewers, they're just happening. they happen to be against the body of all the stands. and they happen to be against the body of lebanese a. but there really crimes against humanity, their crimes, against all of us. and so it is incumbent on us to do something. and the arab states are not doing anything right there. they are not firing missiles. they are not even, you know, they're not stuffing trade agreements where you're at, are you advocating war from like a wider regional war from arab states against israel? is that where you're have to come in and let's, let's begin with some sanctions. right. let's begin with and things of, you know, uh, the agreements between egypt and, uh, and israel for, you know, oral, or if you're saying sanctions or cut economic ties at the bare minimum. right? i mean, i think, i think we can begin there and then, you know, again,

when you say of my advocating for, for war, what are we watching on our screens? right. we're watching already. there's one party who has been wanting to escalate this for months and months and months and hezbollah and iran have been on the restraints because, you know, it's, it's service is real spread sort of agenda. if they go to an all out war i, one party is trying to escalate, and if you can fall into the truck stuff as well, it can fall into the truck and, and escalates right and turn this into a wider and they've been restrained restraint, restraint. but you know, you're seeing what happens, right? they're hitting their heading, duff here. and the world is going to do nothing, right? i mean, you know, they're gonna pretend blinking is going to come out and pretend that they're doing some kind of ceasefire agreements and thoughts. but we all know that this is us box at the end of the day, so you're calling out arab inaction. of course, of course, i mean, as a little what one minute statements us,

the one is not action from all of them. it's not auction, it's just, you know, they put together words and then they talk about a 2 state solution as to say solution which, you know, is completely dead and, you know, come completely unfathomable and israel has destroyed that. but then the ab states are talking about the 2 state solution. so it's, i think we're sort of at a, at an impasse if the arab states are trying to are essentially polluting with a genocidal states. right? absolutely polluting in the sense that they're still trading with them. they are still have that, you know, they haven't had any serious, even major statements of threats, right? there hasn't even been a threat. right. let alone action. so i do think that there, that, uh, those rallies are, are in conversations with some of these, you know,

states and, and there's, and there, there is bad blood also between the states and football. all right, so since, since you mentioned at the top that there should be some form of solidarity, possibly arm solidarity with the palestinians as a lebanese, as also an academic. when you see that has the law has tied its fates to the people of god. so what do you think about that? and i think it's natural, right? i think it's natural that people in love been on in syria and jordan and palestine in iraq and with tie their fates to, to what's happening and i think not everybody. 11, no one agrees with that. there are those 11 on who joe, who feels this is. this is not what is happening with the palestinians is distinct from us and from our country. and hezbollah is dragging us into this. that's true. and i think you know that that is a function of decades of,

of work on our populations to divide and conquer. but ultimately at the very basic, we go back to a crime of crimes against humanity. it's incumbent on all of us, not even just the states. i mentioned are the peoples that i mention, but like coming on all of us to do something. right. and, and you know how, however you want to resist. however many different tactics you want to resist with, but it's really incumbent on, on people. and i think, you know, we can, we can get into sort of the, this other aspect which is, uh, in the last week what's happened with isabella getting well over the times. we don't get the word and the, the most recent one today with all the sort of speculations that are happening. i think one of the, one of the problems is that now we've, we've spent the whole year and the genocide talking about how you can

destroy us because it's an idea. right? but in the last week we've been talking about, you know, the possible destruction of hezbollah as if it can crumble as if it's not an idea. it's so i think it's also a miscalculation it's, you know, it's really, i mean, it will jump in here for a 2nd because it's actually quite unclear what exactly operationally speaking israel wants to achieve what they have. so it is a dare. wargol officially speaking, is to be able to return their residence to northern israel because they have somewhere between 60 and 80000 people who haven't been able to live in their home, send their kids to school. those people who live in the vicinity of the lebanese border, right. and i hasten to add that in southern lebanon is the same thing. upwards of a 100000 people haven't been able to live in their homes for the better part of the year because they're also on a daily basis targeted by is really strikes. but with that said, we don't exactly know what is real intense to achieve. we know they,

they want to keep northern israel say from has blah rockets, but how far do they want to take it? we don't actually know where we're back to. it's the scenario, right? israel knows how to destroy. and it thinks that if it can, you know, destroying the story and the story, it's going to achieve something. um, but i think that, you know, ultimately this is a miscalculation on israel sports that you know, they can kill leaders, right? but ultimately these are leaders who are basically they pray for him or martyrdom. so they build institutions based on this idea that they can be monitored at any moment. so taking them out, i mean, you know, if you go, how do you know, take them out. but you're going to create new leaders and a new sort of a new will uh, new resistance. it's, i think at the end of the day you're only going to see.
