to the latest news from strikes. so us boots on the ground is a really red line. mexico has a long, often painful history with the us military, with detailed coverage this drawer is playing out in the cold. the country remains in a kind of political and diplomatic limbo from the hoss of the story. zalinski saying he's willing to do a deal on his presidency for nato membership shows perhaps just how much is changed in recent weeks or a lack of international actions. accounts for a new round of is riley sage on gauze, or raises questions. and concerns is the use of salvation as a weapon of will being normalized and is the us still committed to the sci fi deal? the health pro cook. this is inside story, the

hello and welcome to the show. i'm sammy's a. then on sunday is well, once again cut off, much needed food medicine and fuel into gaza. prime minister venue mean nothing. yeah. whose government has been clear? the move is meant to pressure him us into accepting a new set of sci fi tons. these terms though conflict with the seas. 5 deal israel agreed to in january. how may i ask, who's calling to move a violation by his route of that deal? but the spines, as well as clear, intend to use the of ation, is leverage the global response as long as they've been muted. while our countries have condemned the blockade, the us and europe do not appear willing to hold israel to the terms of the original agreement. so can as well that will be held to account. and if so,

how will put that to our guests in the moment. but 1st, this report from, for the a call at this food distribution point in southern guys that russians are already meter, palestinians here use walk, little they can to prepare meals to break their fast. during ramadan, they had hoped to mark the fasting months in peace, given the cease fire, but only days into separations, israel and then it was locked aid and supplies from entering gaza. once again the court all day, i shall go ahead um, what is this decision? it is an execution. what's more does they want to do to us? when they prevent everything from people? what is left? they destroyed their homes and devastated them. they also prevent food and drink from reaching them. who would accept this? israel is attempting to pressure from us into changing the terms of the ceasefire. both sides agree back in january am. i says that's unacceptable. let's think you will if this as i'm lucky. so let's do you mind if we condemn the cheap black

malpractice to find that's in yahoo and detect stream is to governments against our people by using humanitarian aid as a bargaining chip in the negotiations. the 1st 40 to day phase of the deal expired on saturday. that soft $33.00 is rated captains. the 1900 palestinian prisoners released rather than enter face to israel is backing us proposal to extend the 1st space in exchange for half. the remaining $59.00 captains that would essentially allow israel to avoid negotiating. it's complete withdrawal from guys, the districts rebuilding and its future governance mass is calling on the international community to pressure israel into starting face to discussions as agreed. but the music, the global response. so far doesn't appear to have softened israel's position. it might come off if her mazda doesn't release the hostages soon. the gates of gaza will close at the gates of hell. will open of us special envoy,

steve would cost is traveling to the region to prevent the cease fire from collapsing altogether. but with president donald trump also telling nothing yahoo to do whatever he wants with the deal is rel, appears to have free reign to cut off supplies into gaza. and just the, the, the truth is that we're in a real simons. this is not a lie. we could not find anything to eat. we would not find anything to eat for a week because of this. we wonder if time and could return again. the biggest surprise is that we're in the 21st century and the world allows the spam and palestinians and guys that are still facing is really a tax. and once again, starvation all the way to the world to do something for the car out to 0, inside story the oh, before we go to one guess, let's talk to a seamless, he's the golf. so response lead at ox fam joins us from golf. so good to have you with us so, so 1st of all, just to be very clear. all we now in

a situation where israel has stopped absolutely o a by the way talking and the items of food will to clothing fuel getting into gaza right now. yes, unfortunately, right now we don't have any trucks. intern goza. i need to think on the humanitarian items on the truck so that i could read off to. and this is for you. since the 3 days we didn't receive any tax and also including the fuel and building on the items. and we're talking about of costs of population of molding 2000000 people. how is that impacting that plight? yeah, the impact is a huge. yeah. and it says that they, one of a nice a of, of uh, taking such decision about the closure and closing of all the borders we and the items or the food is found to be disappeared from the market. and the price is

start to be indicated. we are, we are afraid to that of the maximum. we'd go from this, the closure, we went and fees and you and your check engine, we would face, we'd be able to, would not be able to, to have access to for all the basic basic items as a part of the siege i or the closure of those 2 borders oh, so sorry to cut to the the, the on the, in the city like a line that they provide the c c or the century class with them. but they look at the state business and see what type of furniture plant status more than 400000 individuals in the mid area. and also this would impact access to drinking water and the sup all day. and they had washed the need. they didn't put that in, and i imagine you probably as an agency you ask is riley authorities and officials to let you bring a day. and i'm wondering what kind of response to go. what do is ready,

officials tell a agencies about why they doing best to a civilian population and, and how long they'll go on with an absolute shut down of any supplies for the civilian population. yeah, a lot of work we are way out of here with that in norcross and our aim is to support the need of uh, of people who are in need. and we are coming to our focusing on the support that needs. we would have turned back for themselves to dental and we are doing our best together with different, into stakeholder and different i and yours. and you and i just as to, to support that a leasing albany slash slash bought the under, under the leads up located on people on the support barry who mentored. and this is what we are doing. all right, well the same wish to have that from unc sam joining us from god. so thank you very much and we do hope thank you, let them through for all of us and people that mention all that spring in our

guests now have joining us from kind of a key about the political i'm list and contribute to to hall rights. and also world molds of the land, the will for as well sacraments and the occupied territories. 1967 to 2007 in on mine. jordan, the honeymoon stuff, a senior analyst on palestine, the international crisis group. and in new york, ive been hots professor of law and the judge john newman scholar had dropped because law school. well, welcome to. well, let me start with the haile. you know it's been several days now. it's a handy since israel announced it was simply cutting off all supplies. oh, supplies of all the basics of life and gone. so we haven't seen of countries which regard themselves as the holders of human rights in the world. take any strong action, any counter measures to that right now. right. well,

that's right. i think uh, this route has certainly has successfully pushed the limits as to what american merits outrage us and the stop this war on cause a but was here, it's not just that these countries have been completely silent. you know, the 1st day of the announcement of the recommendation of 8 or cutting off 8 to cause or to pressure from us into accepting an initiative that was completely on disclose to her mouth that to begin with in terms of extending the 1st phase. we have seen that you actually condemn her mouth, which was incredibly shocking, considering bible definitions. how much is not the one that started again, committing a more crime here. it's not the ones talking to 1000000 causes right now, you know. and so to, to not just see that silence from, from instant out from the international community, but more importantly, it actually start to see about condemnation pulling on her mouse and sort of the actual party committing the one crime has really rebuilt the double standard that i think many have been trying to,

to really highlight as the last 16 months in terms of not just the way that the obsession community of law to remain silent. the fact that international organizations, i should have been a deterrent for the kinds of actions we've seen over the last 60 months, not to mention the self interest of regional states even today with the early excitement going on. this really isn't about necessarily what you know. they can do to better the situation for causes will protest against what they can do for their own domestic politics and national security. so i think this is really highlighted once again the double standard when it comes to the case of palestinians and especially cause a cave. as you know, i'm wondering how much the government rhetoric has changed on this issue of whether or not it's obstructing a. you might remember in october 2024 as well as on bass of the to the united nations dining down on telling the security council it had, quote flooded garza with as much aid as possible and quote,

denying that israel was obstructing aid. now it's openly saying it's doing it right . there's this been something of a shift in, in the rhetoric to actually i think the, the uh huh. what i see probably in gaza is quote between uh the is ready or sorry, fees and the come us. but it's a plane where is the agent in a way to control the situation. we know that how much is using a food and fuel in order to uh, being charged. and sometimes they even feel a fuel fuel and they have their priorities. the people will get to the age 1st and it's according to the evidence for that mister keys. i

mean we, the reports done by even us all pharmacies and statements at the time may that they didn't see evidence of aid being stolen. where is the evidence full that? well, uh the charges have offered you some videotapes showing that there was 2 lines of uh, convoys of the trucks coming in july. gotcha. and the very uh, last minute it says, well, actually uh, cutting uh, the people of guys uh, which line is relevant to them. and um, there was some, some reports even in the international media that, uh how us is using as they did before, even before the war. um, the, the agent was use the in way to control guys. uh, so uh,

to the, according to my knowledge, there is no feminine garza yet, the problem is water and electricity. and that's uh, the real humanitarian issue that can and in desk of babies of people who cannot afford to buy if you're in the back market. we don't have so much mr. akiva to jump in again. but we did have reputable organizations, several of them before the seas, 5 deal like hawks from talk about starvation in some parts of gauze and becoming a reality. right. and, and the re, to your point about the reports that we saw in some of the international price, like the washington post investigation directing us to a un finding that some of the misuse of a that was going on by gang is it said with games which will operating and is

really controlled, tired tree the indicated that either these very socrates were turning a blind eye or actively encouraging the fast of some of this a pointing to it being something that was going on under the watch of these really authorities. i mean, however, we try to, you know, these very thoughts he's tried to spin this. so the, i mean now is the situation not very clear? that is route is simply cutting off all i the people are not folding victim because of the facts devised by anybody, even whether or not that is going on. there is simply no way of coming into the goals or is the issue now? is it not mr. keith well uh, i really believe that uh, the aid has been used as a political instrument. uh, also domestically getting his route. uh, the supply of aid is not popular. uh either you. unfortunately you can find

many as larrys who have compassion to the senior people. i think i said before, people don't have enough compression for both that but a senior at these very people. um, you know what, what may uh, change the uh, priorities is the pressure from the cap to families because uh what we heard from right is ready kept. this came back home. is that the hum us god stalled them. that if you use the, you go to installing people, you're going to solve. so maybe the pressure would come from here. unfortunately, the is why the government now doesn't really see, you know, i spent 2 years for the babies in both as well. and i and you guys are okay,

let me bring in a bill. um, is there any, i'm big unity in international law about depriving a civilian population of the basics of life. when do you and officials, the latest statement from you and officials talking about israel's move is cutting off of cutting off the age is threatening civilian life at this point. no. there's no ambiguity for 1st as the occupying power and gaza. israel has an affirmative obligation to ensure the food and medical needs of the population. in addition to any party to an arm conflict has an obligation to allow and facilitate a much wider range of humanitarian aid include including shelter, fuel, and other differential goods. as was mentioned earlier, the store of the issue of civilians as a method of warfare is both prohibited and no more crime. that means starving civilians either as a form of collective punishment or as

a means of pressuring the adversary. bill consortia. let me jump in and interrupt to you too, but bear with me and be patient. i want to bring to you these re the line. that's also a just dropping saying that the causing all side because how much these benefiting from the a. how does that sort of, if i can call it, defend state with your understanding of international law, if you know if, if you, as the occupying power, think a going in is helping the people, the groups, you'll find thing that so there are 2 problems will really 3 problems with this particular line of argument, israel 1st as the occupying power, there is no exception to the obligation to ensure the food and medical needs of the population. second, the rule that is real appears to be invoking which is article $23.00 of the 4th of july. the convention was intended to create a very narrow exception to the obligation of non occupying powers to allow and

facilitate humanitarian relief. however, over many years, the narrow exception was abuse and as a result in the 1970s, a new rule was agreed upon by state rendering the old exception obsolete. and so now there is simply an unconditional obligation to allow and facilitate humanitarian relief, with no exception. and us better let me jump in again, add those side to also chatting to. but if, as, as we're hearing from a key, but he was relaying these ray, the government claimed that they think they have evidence that how much these actually stealing some of the aid does that give the occupying power? is there any exemption to give them the right to then cause all the entire population of 2000000 people from aid? know, and this is precisely why that narrow exception was, was eliminated from international humanitarian law because it allows for the textual and disproportionate cutoffs that aid in response to allegations of minor

diversion or use. and there's also a practical reason for this, which is that right? when you cut off aid, the price of food actually increases, so you're actually increasing the value of whatever it remains. so it's actually counter productive as well as being in human to honey. this is a really a, it's hard to think of another power level like this in, in, in recent years of an in time population. suddenly losing access to the basics of life and the occupying power simply coming out and saying it clearly. now, without any attempt, you know, to, to explain, it's a way to disguise it. there are lots of measures that the allies of israel could take if they wanted to read the pressure, the government to change it stones, right? and we only have to look at some of the statements coming out from those western

powers when it comes to situations like to crime. that's listening to what the foreign minister of germany just said. stoney a few days ago about a situation in ukraine. i guess we gotten a new era of ruthlessness has begun a heinous time in which we must defend the rules based international owed on the strength of little more than ever against the might of the strongest. because otherwise, no free country can sleep peacefully. annual which has a strong and a busty. i could just say, always seeing a situation where we see stronger reaction to an argument in the oval office, which was the, the back story. or the event that happened before. those comments by the german foreign minister and arguments in the oval office between the us and ukrainian presidents can provoke stronger reaction than salvation of 2000000 people in gauze. all the denial of basics to, to 1000000 people in gaza. well, that's right. and that goes back to the point about double standards that many have

been pointing to the last 16 months of this conflict is the way that you can talk about a role in those based order. you know, western states when it suits them, are able to condemn certain policies to the conflict. but that has not been the case in, in the instance of cause. and where by we've seen the western states provide the tonight covers the israel. we've seen them provide the economic support, the operational just to call support in order to enable israel to do what is has been doing in the last 16 months was here. we are now seeing them also provide simon operational support to enable them to do a similar in the west in the context of the west bank, which is where it is always ready. media itself is describing as the creation of many garza as well because if occasion of the west bank regional states, you know, again or similarly, you know, you're guilty of this in the sense that they have not tried to use any of the leverage they have with regards to the normalization deals with israel to put sufficient pressure. anything we've seen sort of sticking positive measures,

you know, things like a drops sending and medical chromeboys, but really know how much it does, but it's not con, trusted by. for example, what we're seeing over ukraine with us coughing, military aid from ukraine because of an argument in the oval office. we're not seeing the same level of concern. and this of you know, when it comes to gaza and this obviously meshes that will pallas could use if they wanted to write precisely, there definitely measures that that can be utilized in order to pressure parties to the conflict. both parties to a concert, to reach some kind of sci fi idea, or to put an ends on the financing. and we haven't seen any of those measures. and you know, the images that we still coming out of the oval office last week. nothing of the sort was applied to not seeing you on here. nothing else here by what accounts by the licensee and i. c j is wanted for crimes. a a key that should we be surprised? the tool was a clear from the stop that the prime minister is very prime minister. didn't want

to complete this deal which had signed onto it. we just remind ourselves of some of the statements that were made, racing right at the beginning of the signing of this c o, the agreement i should say, of the sci fi deal. israel's finance minister best allow small storage thing. on january the 18th quotes, unfortunately, we were unable to prevent this dangerous bill, but we insisted and what able to insure through a government decision that the war would not hand in any way without achieving its full goals. foremost among them, the complete destruction of how much seemed garza was also remember on january the 19th, the 1st day of the seas, 5 prime minister, ben, you mean nothing now is saying quote, when i say maintaining the philadelphia access, not only we will not reduce the forces that we will even increase them as well. so it came on looking at some of those statements. of course the significance of

withdrawal of israeli forces was something that was agreed to in the seas 5 deal. when you look at what was said, should it be a surprise to us a tool that it appears right now that nothing you know, wants to try and re negotiate will go for a different deal than the one he'd agree to. i was given this to be only a dealer in town, and this has been the case for many months. actually i agree that this was from day one is ending the war and allowing all the cap case to go back home and the prisoners exchange the loss. i'm not stupid, antonio is not in the dues, and he knows that the captain of the only cause and, you know, today the president of the united states is always talking about cost is the

landscape doesn't have cost. so how much has to be this crowds human beings, and also starving and die in, in the tunnels? so the portfolio, all the trade off is over chapters and we've done all of the entire goes up now, and it's right now it's not only violating the part on the military and a distant b, so was much anyhow, we'll comply with the other part which is which drawing from should i don't see axes and openings, they rough uh term results for a go all kind of goods coming from egypt and egypt is winning even to start the reconstruction of gaza. so d a is just what i thought it's all over the entire process. all right, i do what legal mechanisms exist for address. if

a civilian population is so openly being deprived of the basics of life as well. there are several mechanisms at the honey already mentioned. the international criminal court has already issued arrest warrants for feminist german doesn't yahoo! as well as former defense mr. delano as centering around the war, crime of using starvation as a method of warfare. what was the crime against humanity of murder, which involves the death of several children as a result of starvation? the international court of justice has issued provisional measures ordering as well to allow and facilitate humanitarian relief. and israel's failure to do so will likely be taken by the court as an indication of genocidal intent. and finally there's one with the heavier but come soon enough to help people. so god really requires a political will of stage. that's the obligation of all stage to cooperate, to bring to an end. a breach has the fundamental rules of international law, including through sanctions, through arms and bar, goes to diplomatic pressure and in other sections. and so really falls on all

states to do their part to bring these bio issues to and i'm right down i think we've got 30 seconds briefly even though in our plan is, is coming together. can it convince donald trump there's an alternative to what he was proposing, what you and officials called ethnic cleansing was difficult to see, even if the architects are able to proactively come up with something tangible. how they'll be able to actually change the 2 most powerful parties to this concept. israel and the us ultimately they on the to decide is about the future cause a here. so whether they'll actually be able to leverage the power that they have, the capacity that they do have is something else entirely. and i think given those, leading this initiative a highly dependent on us aid. so it's, it's very unlikely that we're going to see much come out in the, in the way of anything positive for the palestinians, at least immediately. the right kind of thing called guests for the contributions,
