organization has documented direct 0rganization has documented direct hits on hospitals, the complete destruction of health facilities and illegal and unlawful targeting of the facilities including a direct military order to evacuate sites which they say will be hit. how can you justify, which they say will be hit. how can youjustify, in which they say will be hit. how can you justify, in a small piece of land like gaza, that has been completely besieged and forcibly migrated and forcibly displacing half of its population where there is nowhere safe to go? it is one of the most populated areas on earth. to target anywhere in the civilian population is to jeopardise to target anywhere in the civilian population is tojeopardise its inhabitants. population is to “eopardise its inhabitants.— inhabitants. very difficult situation _ inhabitants. very difficult situation for _ inhabitants. very difficult situation for so _ inhabitants. very difficult situation for so many - inhabitants. very difficult - situation for so many thousands of people. i want to ask you about another story, at... are you healing

the attack on israel cannotjustify the horrific attacks on gaza. for palestinians. the israelis are furious about those words with israel now saying it will deny visas to un officials with israel's ambassador to the un telling the undersecretary general that he had already been denied a visa and the time has come to teach them a lesson so you get a sense that there is for fury from the israelis. we were told it would be any minute now, put out

a statement about half an hour ago expecting the secretary—general to speak at this particular time. this seems imminent. senior israeli official speaking earlier, elaborated on the theory i was talking about from israel's ambassador... morally, politically, the position was unacceptable, he was continuing to say. you had created structural and organisational bias against israel. you get a sense that, the fury from the israelis in term of what the secretary—general said stop we are

ready for him to give the context of that speech and he started the speech by condemning the attacks by hamas and the taking of hostages. but it is the wider comments as the secretary—general put forward his comments. here is the secretary—general approaching the microphone lets see antonio bit errors as he speaks to the press. i am shocked by the media presentations of my comments yesterday. as if i was justifying acts of terror by hamas. this is false, it was the opposite. in the beginning of my intervention yesterday i clearly stated and i
