3:32 am
the us government gave israel 30 days to increase the amount of a reaching hungry palestinians in gaza or risk losing ministry support for the war . the people here say there's been no improvements. i'm going to tell you the situation is going from bad to worse. it's catastrophic america has the ability to put pressure on the is rarely use and increase the amount of aid, but it chooses not to do us. his deadline expired on tuesday, but washington says israel has made some progress and it won't take any action against its ally warning anymore. we at this time have not made an assessment that they are and b is realize are in violation of us law. but most importantly, we are going to continue to watch how the steps that they've taken, how they are being implemented. this assessment by the us is rails and largest provider of weapons is in spite of international agencies declaring that israel has
3:33 am
failed to increase humanitarian access to gaza. after 13 months of which the entire population is $2300000.00 palestinians is relying on age, the survival in news and gaza food security experts and rights groups won't. salmon is imminent. and human rights which is accusing is ready forces if committing rule crimes by forcibly displacing more than 90 percent of gauze is population. the us secretary of state says he's deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in gaza. he's urging israel to ended school having in his was accomplished it's minute, 3 goals as it was rightly determined to make sure to the best of its ability that october 7th could never happen again. to do that, said that it needed to dismantle the military organization from us and to get the leadership that was responsible for october 7th. it's done both of those things. so this should be a time to end the war. the u. n is struggling to get
3:34 am
a to palestinians in large part because of these rails restrictions. humanitarian group say is where the full series of killed at least 28 workers in gaza in the past months. victoria gates and b l g 0 for the inside story. all right, let's go ahead and bring in our guests in cairo tomorrow. i don't know if i spoke person for unreal into how how soon brought a professor of international affairs at the other university and in london, nadia hardman researcher and the refugee and migrant rights division of human rights watch a very warm welcome to you all and thanks so much for joining us today on inside story tomorrow. let me start with you today. the human special committee to investigate is rarely practices has issued a report saying that israel's warfare and gaza is consistent with the characteristics of genocide with mass civilian and life threatening conditions. intentionally imposed on palestinians there. that's what the report says. it also
3:35 am
goes into details about how the extensive bombing campaign and gaza has decimated essential services and on lease and environmental catastrophe that will have lasting health impacts. i want to ask you, how consistent are these findings with what on role i have seen on the ground and god, the underwater is and has been since the beginning of this conflict, the largest humanitarian agency again god. and consequently, it has eyes and ears with it in the palestine. if i was thinking of community and god, most of which has indeed been forcibly displaced repeatedly, on average, sometimes once a month for 90 percent of the population on the bombing under low strikes during an increased fluid insecurity. the amount of the fireman we have a lot on the floor and the doors place and no, no, no where is safe and god, but no one is safe and increasingly the population has been but it has been made.
3:36 am
how great has not had access to add the clips, humanitarian and medical care. so every thing we have been reporting on for the last year, oh, this boils down to a population. that is extremely scary. i have only be displaced. i'm hungry today. tomorrow i want to also ask you another question with regard to this. so you in special committee report, it talks about the ongoing smear campaign and other attacks against hon and the un at large. it says this deliberate silencing of reporting, combined with this information and attacks on humanitarian workers, is a clear strategy to undermine the vital work of the un server, the lifeline of age, still reaching cause and dismantle the international legal order. my question to you, what have the ramifications of all this been for your aid workers there and your colleagues? i want to say that to date 246 of my colleagues have been killed and goes
3:37 am
up during this war over this last year. i also want to confirm that since the beginning of the war and not at and i wonder why a campaign primarily rolled out just through social media regularly quoting senior israeli officials, but also a lot of the groups and some very by, as a journalist, the tractors have thought to describe the that you when of large is specially parts of the well that report on human human rights to many terry and law violations under what has been particularly targeted by those different information . and this information campaign we have been surrounded by clean was that have not been substantiated. and we have taken all of the allegations extremely seriously because as i enjoyed the agency, we really,
3:38 am
really strives for an impeccable as heroes through the humanitarian principles. but the result is, once we become to the target of a key, our campaign and some of our part there is governments donors and retract their political and their financial support. so for an agency that is still the largest and gaza and that's still around the schools for dallas by refugee children across the region. we cannot afford such a quick reaction by governments, by the donors, by over often, unsubstantiated claims that are surely out of all the decides they should. nadia human rights watch has a new report out today. it accuses is really forces of committing war crimes by forcibly displacing more than 90 percent of gods as population. your report also states the following. the organized force displacement of palestinians and gaza has removed much of the palestinian population from land and specific areas of gaza
3:39 am
that for decades and generations have been their home. you believe that the intention of the is really army is essentially to ensure that these areas remain permanently empty and that this is evidence of ethnic cleansing? correct? yes, thank you. thank you for that summary. um, i mean essentially the, the report also finds evidence of crimes against humanity. i think that's important to highlight that we have found multiple acts of force displacement throughout this conflict that continues to this day. and that because of the systematic nature, because it is underlined by state policy is rarely state policy. it amounts to a crime against humanity and we're recommending that the i c. c's prosecutor also investigate for us the space one as a crime against humanity and prevention of the right to return. i mean, this report essentially the bunks and impacts israel's claim that it is evacuating people safely. we goes through the laws of war on force displacement and
3:40 am
demonstrate how the condition to evacuate people that lawfully have not been met. have been flagrantly breached evacuation orders have been issued and consistently full of hours while areas were under attack. you know, there's been a tax on say, sons, we verified them as well as attacks and evacuation roots the humanitarian situation . an occupying power can only evacuate people if it adheres to stretch conditions. people must be allowed to access food, water, shelter, hygiene. and instead, we know that israel is using starvation as a weapon of war, but the humanitarian aid is your coverage has already highlighted as well for the, inadequate to meet the needs of the population. and this is by intention and last name, perhaps more importantly and occupying po is required to facilitate the return of people once the hostilities have end from the areas in which they were evacuated
3:41 am
from. and instead, what we seen as the wide spread destruction across casa and in the areas intentionally done. so where's really forces have taken control of the area and implemented control, demolitions res, saying and bulldozing? nowhere can we see this more clearly than the buffer zones? and the security car doors where we see that palestinians have been an estimate trade cleansed from these areas. now the, i'm glad you brought up the issue of evacuation orders because that is something i wanted to ask you more specifically about, you know, we hear a lot about how is real continues to issue these forced evacuation orders. and you mentioned in your report that article 49 of the geneva convention states that civilians should be moved in safety. that the goal of an evacuation system during war time is to protect civilians from the dangers of conflict based on your research. and what you've told me in your previous answer, that's just never been the case and gone right. exactly. and you know what we've
3:42 am
done in human rights watch and you know why it's taking so long to put all this evidence together is because we analyzed evacuation system. we analyze a 184 evacuation orders across different platforms to really understand the way in which information was being disseminated or not disseminated. i spoke to a woman who used the interactive blog grid to check whether her block who was say for whether she would leave that area. and instead of, you know, it was, it was marked his face a not slated for evacuation. later that day there was an attack. you know, luckily she survived, but her relatives building and her own building were damaged and destroyed in this attack. how can people rely on the system that doesn't? it doesn't fit its purpose. and so right now with the middle trans funds to the north gauze, or of course these concerns repaint because we are seeing again, these are the occupation orders were nowhere a space to go. people continuously have to move areas are declared on that. so it
3:43 am
was one day say, sorry, as another alma wasi humanitarian zone. the israel keeps on telling people to go to has changed its boundaries at least 14 times during this conflict. it has an i want to look at a different aspect to all of this, which is of course the us is continuing, steadfast support of israel and how that's impacting all of this last month. the us government gave us real 30 days to increase the amount of a going into gaza or risk losing military support for the work that us deadline expired on tuesday. but washington says, israel has made some progress and then it won't take any action likely against it's like going forward from your perspective, with israel during this time at all concerned that the us would actually pull military aid that israel might actually face ramifications for not getting more aid into gaza or did they just feel comfortable to continue waging the war in the way that they've been doing as well?
3:44 am
i think too much for this very important question. and i think the way the government never tucked the merick's on demand seriously and nothing you all of them said was saying in one of his interview was absolutely the only one in this one who would many play their market administrations in a way. and that would serve these really interest. so, and seen this before, you know all these nice where's coming from and bindings and thinking about the war and guys about the need to start with a war about the need to have at a to make a material. and pays and reaching those in need. but when it comes to action, uh, you know, the americans have never followed up and there are what can, even in the district to these ladies. and for this reason, days rate is a continued or as a as huge one. and they hear this one thing that we have to take this in the contents of the american domestic politics. these right is realize that the binding
3:45 am
was in somehow within that it probably that at he is not in any position to impose anything again as well and nothing else just buying fine. so it was, you know, if, if i'm the talk so by then me with all the say the nice thing that he was willing to indoor it provided that these very conditions are meant by the same time that he's doing everything possible to, to undermine even the chances of reaching ceasefire, because the objectives are not aligned with those on the internet should give me the name of the stuff in the war and leave an exchange of prisoners. it has. and let me also ask you about the fact that the us x ray of state anthony blinking um, just in the past couple of days, he's urged israel once again to end the war on gaza. he said that his real had accomplished its military goals. um, but the fact of the matter is that blink can travel to israel 11 times since october 7, 2023. and most of those diplomatic emissions ended in failure dis, blinking really think it especially now. the biden is leaving office and the trump
3:46 am
has been elected again, this is blinking. really believe now that he actually has leverage. i don't think that he genuinely believes that he can't make any difference. and what is taking place right now, and we've got this as a job is you know, status, i'm come to the regions and find to iron out the differences between different bosses. but i think deep down, he knows that he can make any, any difference simply because his rate is unwilling to stop the war and is not there by the objectives of the war. and we don't know what, what the don't get those uh, the war on actually be talked about and reducing the hostages in spotsylvania. the deal is not into that p one. so i think can change this, got it for in that. and then last time, particularly in gather, he's trying to reset the north of guys, right? he's trying to even force expansions on the policy. but because i think that if the door have been changing all the time, it, you know,
3:47 am
depending on what is taking the basement on the ground and nothing, you don't understand that the link and it is, is not the guy who would make the difference. he's not the guy who would really put the pressure on on these ladies every time he comes to the region. he yeah, identified with these ladies names and decor and demands, as we've seen this before. uh so i think what bank is doing right now is just doing his job is waiting for um, january 20th. uh to um, you know, go home to nadia. the human rights watch report urges the international community international actors to do more to apply pressure on israel to stop all of this. um, but that just hasn't been happening. i mean, what needs to happen from your perspective in order to end the war in order to end all of his files. mean we need to see, i mean, public condemnation immediately of these 4 crimes,
3:48 am
the amounts for crime against humanity. i mean, but, you know, meaningful action would be felt in the forms of an immediate association or suspension of military assistance and weapons, transference, trip, weapons transfers. and if it comes through it by law sort of agreements, you know, as, as you were talking about this one month deadline that has passed through the vitamins, ministration, gaze, it passes and there is no consequence. so what kind of message does that set out? we need to focus on what can be done, and in the end, you know, the friday of suspension of minutes, resistance reading might actually time simply means something. of course, we'd like to see the, the investigation at the international criminal court progress and more cooling on the prosecutors also investigate, forced to force displacement and, and the prevention of the right to return on. but really, the kind of message that i think will be felt would be the suspension of my tre assistance. tomorrow. 8 organizations save the situation in gaza has only deteriorated since the us set that deadline last month. how difficult is it
3:49 am
currently getting a into gaza? how much of that is due to his really restrictions and, and currently, what are the logistics like, what are the challenges? getting aid and to garza and excruciating, lee difficult for my own colleagues. underwear and especially for my colleagues visa be i'm in the face of a population that has the price of safety of food, of clean drinking, long term of medicines, of tens of powerful liens of winter clothes. it is extremely difficult to be in a good work or in the field responsible and feel completely hand cost. the aid going into gaza has been going in by the trickle. so with only one or 2 border crossings open and very cumbersome. logistics for screening for checking once in
3:50 am
a convoy is it takes forever to get any aid. and also once the aid is inside, on the guys outside of the border crossing, there has been increased. lawlessness. tell us primarily driven by people feeling hungry of desperate and therefore there's also now lack of safety for the aides, con, voice. the driver as a people are in charge of receiving the aid and taking it to warehouses. the shelter is having said that the primary reason for the very acute humanitarian situation is the extremely strange time restrictions on the access of a aid has been weaponized during this conflict, people and has been shocked out of receiving food, receiving medicine, and receiving basic services. and even when they try the shelter and find
3:51 am
a un bill, big sinking but protects some of the one slide. many of these buildings, including other of shelters, have been hint, killing people inside them. now the i tell you are reacting just now to what tamara was saying, it looks like you wanted to jump in. so go ahead, if you'd like to, you know, i is just, you know, um, thinking about how these uh, protections that, you know, are part of this, the lower on, on force displacement. you know, basically if you evacuate the population, you have to provide for that population. so the idea that these rarely authorities are saying it is, it is not for us to be displacing it as evacuating people safely. is just, you know, quite overwhelming and listening to, you know, the, the situation for people on the ground to get humanitarian aid and should never be this difficult. people are starving. all they want is food and water and survival. and it's possible. but it is being wilfully blocked how soon there is
3:52 am
a lot of speculation right now as to what the next steps will be. now that donald trump has been re elected and will be returning to the white house, come january. um, some believe that netanyahu, israel's prime minister, might be willing to in the war in gaza as a gesture to trump, who in the past has indicated he'd like to see that war wind down. my question to you. number one is, do you expect that to happen? and number 2, if that were to happen, would that actually be an into the war, or would it just be, is real saying the war is ended and essentially doing what is most favorable for israel going for i was going to take a moment. i mean, i didn't have that just simple so i can see that project was going to happen in the, in months to come. but so there's one thing that it struck and that was the best interest in perpetuating them is really that's what i've seen as in february 18 the
3:53 am
war because he wants to reach the point where it is what it is. acknowledge that he has won the war as clearly and through this moment a lot of the way it is, we think that he has failed simply because the presidents hospitals and has all of the resistance moment them dad was a more is what it is actually amazing that the only way to get them back is by assigning it'd be able to deal with a mass of course. so signing indeed would be that kind of bring the end of the war back to and if any, our wouldn't dream of 5th saying that he is looking for. and we know that if the work comes on in the probably a tough question would be raising his hand. then anthony, i would, would not be able to answer. and this wouldn't bring him to be even closer to the investigations and the court cases against him. and makes his life for you to talk one. uh, so he's actually buying time. but the thing here that you know, the phone call between him and that, and that from what it's on said that he wants to have been dealt with the war
3:54 am
before he at the ford is one of your issues and probably have to know what to combine with that, but he would keep his options open and he would, he would not get there at the end of the war and able to reach a settlement with the with, with come see would only add add probably looking for excuses to renew or the stronger fighting with the seniors, but the thing that they can do, i think is, is level. i think he is in more in the leading into averaging or dealing with the idea that he knows that by getting to somehow leading into that to cause one of his society laws is lebanese. now that he promised him the 111 and the, the 11 is cheaper than global by the way, you know, given what, what was taking place over the last month. and then there is a way off having got trans off between didn't have any government. and that is where it is that the situation is to look at the different can gather. i think the is what it is that miss janik machine. the guys are the right point in it for one
3:55 am
to the engineers or until the a t v. and the definition of victory is the sort of destruction of the palestinians . unless there is a pressure on the bulk of the international committee. i don't think that and that to me i was going to stop and in the coming to a lot and indeed, 2 months to come tomorrow after the 13 months of war, almost the entire population of around 2300000 policies in gaza is relying on aid for survival, we know that the situation is extremely dire. i want to ask you about this law that was passed by israel's parliament that's going to bar under was operations going forward. how much worse might that make the already catastrophic situation in guys? what does that mean for the population there? i'm glad you're bringing this up because the passing off the total loss that that under uh, from working and i quote in territory under is really slower and see and the quote are on free. so them to, this is a precedent, this is
3:56 am
a huge in terms of one you, one member state defying the defining that you one and the find what we call in our language. the multi lateral system defines the un charter amplifying international law, including entering outside humanitarian law. so it's all in our work in a place as the as rental considers to be under and sovereignty is already extremely difficult, not only and also, but also in the west back, including east jerusalem in these laws are truly implemented them. our work will be even more difficult. the suffering of palestinians will go deeper. and this survey over the future of palestine, refugees and out of their rights will grow bigger. again, this is truly an extremely dangerous precedent. and speaking of the whole feel i troll system because you just ask another really just asked during the show once
3:57 am
more the international community can do. we are in a situation where the international too many terry of the system is mobilized on the multilateral system. the un general assembly, the, the international court of justice, but different term for tours on the french fries are all mobilized. this is probably one of the most documented conflicts of recent times i. yes. the violations continue and our call for accountability and possibly a board inquiry rose higher. all right, well, we have run out of time, so we're going to have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much to all of our guest tomorrow either if i have somebody and nadia hardaman to thank you to for watching, you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. i'll just here at com and for further discussion, go to our facebook page, that's facebook dot com, forward slash age and side story. you can also during the conversation on x r handle is at age and side story for me. how much enjoying the whole thing here,
3:58 am
bye. for now the, the trump has captured, the popular vote says look, what happened is this, the fault lines looks back to the election year. huge part of it undeniably, is that you can't fund a genocide with you know, what if you want to win. otherwise, i'm speaking an honest what this means for the future of us. all the stuff of a pretty extreme novel, the return of the drum on a jersey or in the philippines. women of renting out there was some of it to see is controversial in the highly religious nation. but an underground business is thriving as the birth certificate of a child is falsified. is that illegal? is $1.00 oh $1.00 east goes under cover to review the legality in the industry. the
3:59 am
for the fire on out just era 5 of sizes expect this will be we have only 10 minutes to take our belongings and leave the office so they can shut it down for the victory for the government. get this one of those containing refugees coming the actions of israel's government. the military invitation has been described as the closing of the midst of how much is happening before the end of the question. why like this let denise this call
4:00 am
your mind. it's area where the foundation the carry johnston in de la the top stores now and als is here, is ready and strikes up on bonded areas across 11 in the past 24 hours. the tax of kills at least $37.00 people, including full power, medics. thousands of others have been injured. well this video shows often mouth of one of the is very asked strikes in the old back city in the east. the original governor says israel targeted a civil defense center. i've had 20 people in sight. meanwhile, the us some boss to, to be route to submit to the draft the see spot proposal to the evidence to speak to opponents. and i'll be very us has been trying to blow could choose to end the escalating conflict between is well it has the dosage of.
