10:03 pm
devalue with very, holly is very momentum. these strikes continued to unfold. civilians was to trust in devalue and they here and they are reporting details regarding their humanitarian situation as our exterior running blood in terms of their basic humanitarian needs. alongside with the destruction of multiple buildings of coverage. one hospital the due to the is very military operation. on it's a senate seat and the great destruction also been selected to send to the medical department that which impacted you get. typically, the ability of medical teams to rates in building cause especially to the hospital, has great life life for all kind of city and stuff. in the district out there that are kind of where i just want to bring you some pictures from the united nations in new york. now the un security council is just beginning a meeting that was requested by iran. and it's in response to israel's attack on
10:04 pm
iran, which happened on saturday. so we'll be with monitoring it and we'll bring you some of those features as they happen over the next couple of hours a page. for now, let's stay with the situation and garza with a medical facilities have been repeatedly targeted by as well. doctor janae till dawn is a vascular surgeon for to fall 2 or you run into admission working. i think you were appear in a hospital in gauze a few months ago. he says, is really a tax on medical staffing garza a war crimes. this is extremely ready. and this is something rich as a whole medical community. d needs to say more and talk about this. this is the complete one nation of the geneva convention that internationalism and get him off . and not only this is the general side of the processing of people, but this is actually the genocide of the international who indian goals. and this one have many strong repercussions in the coming years to the whole work. and this
10:05 pm
is we, every, each our, everyone has to weigh about this. the whole situation in the boulevard is junior right now. and things are escalating even more of the cardboard more. and the only thing which is there to protect or to define some lines of the international whom indeed involves and writing all those laws on being completely destroyed. the fabric has been completely damaged in the last 12 months. and also so which means that basically you as a journalist, me as a doctor or any hospital in the world is a target for anyone. and anyone can come and destroy any open. and anyone can come and do any of the housekeeping workers, or anybody who's doing their just their role and which are protected by the international community involved in geneva convention. and this is really, really what this means that nobody will be safe and anything which was as a protective barrier, which was going to give you an offer. second world war that has been completely destroyed. and that's where the medical communities need to step up. and then you can play the role and they need to come and protect and all of this massive penny
10:06 pm
is walk crimes. well the us state department spokesman us and matthew mal is being holding a press briefing in the past hour or so. there is john andrew, was there any all the directly about is really attacks and hospitals or is it permissible under international law? even if somebody is using these sites to rate them to attack them? and why wouldn't that trigger us red line with us would withdraw aid to israel. so i'm not able to get into the full complexities of international uh, international law. from here, i'm not an attorney, but it is a simple fact of law that hospitals do in some circumstances, lose their protected status when they are being used to watch military attacks. that's the fact of international law has been true for some time. it's not an assessment with regard to this operation or any other, which i obviously can't do from here. what we have made clear is that we want to
10:07 pm
see humanity or insights protected that includes hospitals include schools. it includes other facilities, but we continue to see as we've seen from the beginning of this complex come off in bed, and it's fighters in size, military insights from us firing at is really soldiers from inside the manager insights. and that's an acceptable practice. that puts the people of gaza at risk. and if i could follow up, is it fair to say that the us selection is impacting the timing of the potential ceasefire there? because the parties won't necessarily know who they'll be dealing with. i cannot speak for any other party than the united states, and i can tell you that it has no bearing on our focus on trying to bring it into the war. or it has some breaking news now is where the politicians have just now paused both the brand, the you win agency for palestinian refugees from operating with in israel. and all of us will have significant repercussions. it will restrict own was activities
10:08 pm
across. so i'll provide east jerusalem on the occupied was bank 7 countries including the u. k, frosts, canada, and germany issued a joint statement expressing their grave concern of israel's plans, as well as repeatedly talk a little while during it's one gaza in an effort to dismantle the agency. to be foldable this policy, united nations voice concern of what use those plans to ban on all the zeros gabriel, as on, has been speaking to the secretary general spokesperson. a few weeks ago, the secretary john wrote to the prime minister of israel, expressing his profound concern about those bills about the impact that they would have uh and how in his uh, in our view they would also, uh uh they would be diametrically opposed to, to the charter and these really government's responsibility under international law . any idea of what the us response will be if the bills are?
10:09 pm
well, i mean we, it's more of what i mean. i think you can expect you can expect our response to be in line with our warnings, so to speak as, as a line in the letter. obviously we will have to see what the operational impact will be and we expect it to be rather negative. as bulls paused as a reminder that nearly the entire population in gauze and reliance on monroe for the basic needs. let's take a closer look at the organization. the united nations release and works agency for palestine or spell of sidney refugees was created in 1949 to support by listing is forcibly displaced in 1948. and this was because of the creation of as well known by palestinians as in the fall catastrophe. today, its support series 6000000 fall as the new refugees and 50 a comes across garza, they occupied was bank, jordan, lebanon, and syria. as of last year of 545000 children,
10:10 pm
what enrolled and on was 7 and under 709 schools. and the agency also runs a 140 primary healthcare facilities. mold in 50000 palestinians work for the agency that's across the middle east. no, no also encourages and supports the white of palestinian refugees to return to their homeland as stipulated in the un general assembly resolution 194, which is a rejects across gun. this is a former spokesman full in rises. israel is campaign to dismantle the agencies, both of the ethnic cleansing of palestine. this is another serious assault by the state of it. so the international law and the international system itself is completely illegal. it's a visual foreground, supposed to be, it's a violation of oscar $1.00 and $5.00 of the un, shots of which would cause many states to cross privileges underneath which is to you and organizations those to simply be removed. secondly, civilization of the 1948 convention on the privilege of going to meet,
10:11 pm
which is of the united nations which spells out those p a nice as that cool. such as tax exemptions, infinity to whole bank accounts, utilities lease property. certainly it's a violation of the rules of electronic occupation under which as well as the buying power, is the lowest to deliver the services which existed before the occupation to be occupied population. so it's only the stuff that's quote, i would say, must be respected by his local unwrapping working in johnson westbank. since 1950 it became operational in may 1950. this is also for the violation of the genocide convention. as under the provisional measures, on the 26th of january, this year is rarely supplies to facilitate the delivery of international humanitarian aid of attempting to enter the operation of the largest provider. or do you monetary? the aid is clearly a violation of those measures to be clear, maxima just does not in the game, is well international obligations. the very last,
10:12 pm
the 5th is premised on the notion almost all took place in the 7th, the, both of the test and the smell. this may be repeated on occasions, but at some report by the full french foreign minister cuts we colona and the internal un reports fails to find any conclusive evidence to substantiate, as well as claims that it's illegal counts. and it's based on what type, including the mother or not is something like some of the mental happening here the far right is where the politicians have been very clear to what they called you did a scenario. the lance of the ritual to the mediterranean sea is full, choose about implications, that should be no cost. it is, of course, it already exists, the organization, which the international community has created to stuff those pop ups in the cool. but as it comes in, part happens, a big picture. well, i fear with it we're seeing as part of the estimate cleansing of palestine. all
10:13 pm
right, so let's go now to nora, dishes in the to daniel and capital. and just a reminder, that is really politicians of paul suppose the band that you, when agency preprocessing refugees from operating in is ro and moore's in amman, jordan, because as well as band or to 0, from broad costing from israel and the occupied westbank, nor this bows just been paused and we want to break down what that actually means, full palestinians, given the amount of people that it's designed to support this is big news and it's a development that almost smoke in as the concept went back to a session where there was a lot of discussion and we've been monitoring all sorts of speeches focusing on everything, but under well, until finally that law that legislation passed. and what it would do is deprive about $3000000.00 palestinians in the west bond, including east jerusalem,
10:14 pm
as well as in gaza from any service of provided by under uh and, and just to remind our viewers, honor uh, provides education. it provides health services. it provides vocational training for palestinian refugees. it has a gigantic operation in the palace to the entire tree and it employs thousands of people, 13000 in fact, just in gaza. so halting, this operation would mean that under a won't be able to bring in assistance. interguards that because israel has shut down the roof bus crossing with egypt, it controls anything of the trickle of humanitarian assistance that enters into gauze and now under while won't be able to partake in the needed she, mandatory and relief work. the, the consequences really cannot be under or over at over stated at this point, right to where it also comes at a time when the united states has just said that it once is well pressing israel to
10:15 pm
allow more age into gaza. yeah, i mean it is, it is amazing timing. you have the us pushing israel at least rhetorically, to allow humanitarian assistance and into gaza. remember, northern gaza has been under a choking siege for over 23 days. that people have been starved even in southern gauze, of the situation is quite dire and depriving anybody of food using starvation as a weapon of war is of course a war crime. it also comes at a time when we've heard from the us president saying that it's time to end the war . of course not. sonya who is trying to achieve as much of his goals to speak as much as he can to his base on his base, is very antagonistic, not just towards honor of but towards the united nations. in general, this is
10:16 pm
a precedent for a un member state to outlaw a you an agency mandated by the u one whose mandate is renewed every year by a vast majority of countries. and so it will be very interesting to watch and to see how countries will react. this is a, an agency funded by member states, a lot of western countries, allies of israel up support the organization and provided with financial aid. and in fact, 7 of them just about $24.00 or 48 hours ago had publicly said that as well should not be adopting this bill that this bill violates the you and charter that it would probably have consequences for israel at the us. and then those would bring a whole host of pressures and political dynamics into play that everybody wanted to avoid. know, can you put in to avoid
10:17 pm
a context and that it is important also to look at how, what the repercussions might be, for as well. also given that and is it separately? it's, it's strikes against the run is being discuss that the un security council is room is facing pressure around various issues on this will pertaining to live and on garza and it continues to st. uh, face mounting pressure all then does as well continue to undermine on route to move in a, a. it's stopped age from going into effect to the areas. and they've been a tax on stuff convoys. how is israel managed to conduct itself in this way? and so far was it was little repercussion as well. the short answer, i think, would be the united states. the united states has provided israel with a lot of protection, political protection at the united nations,
10:18 pm
from any accountability. the us hasn't allowed a single resolution or statement to be issued by the security council that so much as it offer any kind of criticism to is really actions it has for all intents and purposes, disabled the security council from doing its job. it has continued to provide as well with weapons even while it violates violated certain us laws and, and that prohibits providing weapons to countries that starve civilians in times of war. so that is really the key, the in the entire international community has been talking about all the violations as well as committing israel. let's remember stands accused of committing genocide and it is being tried for that at the international court of justice. we had another ruling by that court that also declared its occupation of palestinian
10:19 pm
territory illegal. the prosecutor at the international criminal court requested that arrest warrants be issued for the is really prime minister and his defense minister for crimes they're committing in dogs. and yet the only thing shielding is, the role from all of that accountability remains american pressure and the weight of american might. in fact, there, there are several republican leaders in the us, the congress who've already signaled they would be willing to sanction the un, if any action against israel was taken in response to this under a back, a burden. or i just want to go back to the impact around the parson. loved these bulls in israel. what does it mean for people on the ground in gaza? because order was operations have already been devastated during the week. and this is yet another blow to an organization to the unit of the un that is, is trying to assist people whose lives have been entirely up and advisors will
10:20 pm
it's, it's been a very lease award. fact, the unit has suffered the highest number of casualties for its humanitarian workers in the organizations of history just in the past year in gaza and most of those casualties. those victims of is very targeting, have been under our staff. there are 13000 under what staff members in gaza. they continue to provide services to the entire population at this point to have been displaced. so even though the schools are out, the schools are being used as shelters. they're being bombed regularly, but they're still housing tens of thousands of people under was, operates and facilitates and co ordinates, the humanitarian relief effort. so all that assistance, all the food, all that a no blankets and so on,
10:21 pm
but trickle into gaza is distributed mostly through under was operation because nobody has an operation as large as extensive and as organic as it is in gaza as under law does the closest organization would be the palestinian red crescent and that agency is only specializing in, you know, providing medical relief on some humanitarian assistance. nobody really can compete with the breadth and the scope of under was operation. so deny and work denying access to under a law banning. it's work by is around would be the 1st of all know, international staff of honora would be allowed into guys that because the only access point to god's that is so is real at this point. it also means that under, i wouldn't be able to bring in humanitarian assistance on its name. it might even imply up certain pressures on other un agencies and organizations not to work with
10:22 pm
under what in order to avoid any kind of for a precaution. so all those hundreds of thousands of people who do and on under what to stay alive to not stars would be left on their own. there isn't anybody who can take their place under was placed at this point, and it would be difficult to imagine how you and agencies and other humanitarian organizations can scramble to fill that gap if at all right, it's also very important point new or given that in the bull, no provision was made for alternative organizations to oversee the very important work that on why is doing nor will leave at the moment, and we will return to a bit later. now, let's look at this report from tara, tara global zone. isn't there a while out and he has more focus right, right now is what came to me to, to my eyes out on the risk present thing is the goal. it's a step by probing kind of in the owner was implementation based mondays. of course
10:23 pm
the palestinian occupies territories as well is basically a looking for replacing corner won't even removing this organization from the entire trees, which will have certainly future precautions on be sure. the short and long time around that are below terms, by the way, especially that only one has been leading significant humanitarian operations. so, so will be got on the cruise on the ground, which is a main uh making sense is of course the goal is to since have been completely subjected to is very compartment palestinians. please complete this a step as a very serious escalation. that will have huge impacts on the humanitarian economic situation and the kinds of steps that will set, at least your rates massively, the uh, the refugee a wrong to bring to return the cases. well, the certainly impacted was piece well is trying to eradicate loose 2 types is a,
10:24 pm
by the replacement. and even the reputation reported was a, from the entire kind of sentience hired for you carry out your 0. there was that i have right. and the one bush all result is there a senior political analyst? he's joining us now in doha lawanda. you've been monitoring this well, and i imagine you're not surprised that it's been paused. i'm not sure because they're all already we've seen, but writing on the wall this uh these 2 bills, the bills, the concerns is there and i'll q 5 east june 7th up as we all know was an ex 2 is run legally and the one that uh concerns the occupied territories west bank and gaza. i've been back by 100 uh, connections number 100 is ready to parliament guardians. so you can imagine that they already the original bill was back from sponsored by hundreds auto 120. i mean,
10:25 pm
this just goes to tell you, and that's only to, this is not cost dental, not only this is not, you know, a question of where you can see that the roots of crashes and is right, are. so d, is that an absolute majority of these any problem at more than $100.00 out of $120.00. and if you count some 11 or 12 uh, ida sullivan settings, we're talking about something like 90 percent of it. is there any problem in bax this uh, on the you, on, on the, on norwalk international law in fact, uh, unfriendly uh, bill that has been, uh, basically criticized. busy by all of his drivers are lies in the west. so uh, not surprised at all. um, in fact,
10:26 pm
quite what each at this point in time. right, and the worry is a very safe point. because why is an agency that has an international mandate? it's has international funding. so how does is real, have the power to out low such a united nations agency? does it's domestic law supersedes this into international that the government such an agency to all you know, most most countries would tell you that it does, of course, but here we are talking and this is what really concerns us forces are about occupied territories. i really couldn't care less and i think most of the world's good and god bless. what happens with on the internet, the right majority of the jewish city in israel. but when it comes to east jerusalem, west bank and especially guys up today, we're talking about the livelihoods of millions of people. and as knew it was reporting earlier. there is no alternative on the law. anyone speaks about
10:27 pm
increasing humanitarian aid or allowing humanitarian a to the startling people to die. so for example, i wouldn't be able to get any uh, i mean i, i need to, uh, anywhere in gaza. ready about the network that oh no, to what has had developed over many decades. there is no alternative today and then wouldn't be no alternative any time in the near future because the decades for not all i'm so i was is up, i'm talking to home 3 is on 13000 alone and does have to be able to do the work to the appointment with us in terms of distributing food in terms of uh, hospitals, uh, types of schools on so and so forth. so this goes to the very heart of what it means to be living by this pinion today. and in that sense, uh, this law is meant to be coughing the genocide. that is our carriers today. this is
10:28 pm
not that in me or hostility towards the united nations agency. this is i rec, assault on top of the general side that's been guided in order to ensure that. busy genocide is implemented 100 percent. so while everyone in the world is courtney ford, increase dignitary and paid to gaza, now is making sure that there is no other way to distribute that foods. yeah. just put me on the response of what the powers on this is not. again, one cannot be surprised, right? they are deeply concerned. right. i am deeply concerned about the deeply concerned because we know that this is the b s this, hey. busy you know, what's the reaction doing is right, got a such a decision that goes to the hearts of it's war crimes. the guys are that the west continues to support and is complicit. and so for what single officials to be wanted by israel reputation. it shows repeat the as i think i need a prediction,
10:29 pm
the right hand to be worried about the likelihood of millions of palestinians. it's a totally shameless and cowardly on the part of western powers to react this way to alicia station that is made to hurt hundreds of thousands of children. and to add to point the one the, the boat doesn't provide any alternatives for the provision of age. ultimately, what is the board a picture of essentially moving on well from the landscape, removing them from assisting palestinians. does this add to the argument around if me cleansing, to get a side it's, uh it's, it's a genocide plain and simple. i think the i c j should be watching for what is right, who's are saying they're doing. it's basically every day. ready is every day and is
10:30 pm
there in the bottom dimension? is there a government every day? it is a military operations guys are, is, is more and more evidence that goes to the, the national criminal court on international court of justice. i guess the penny all for the work arms and games is right. and for the it's getting genocide against the palestinian people. so there is no doubt from the media from the short term that this is meant to star. this is meant to do the senior people. this is meant to can but a signature. there's not the way of looking at today. there's all the work to feed but a signature. when you've got that, you are actually saying i on there purposefully colleen's better signature than millions of the.
