talks and jordan. well, i don't think you'll expect too much movement today. mariana. but to give you the background, he's festival met with the liberties prime minister. ok, take a prime minister who stressed the need for cease fly. and also, according to state, the state agency or media or agency, uh no more hostilities or aggression from the use way of these against southern 11 on from, with the tara group. his plan has been launching rocket attacks against israel, a supporter of hamas. as there are the worries about this regional spread, there are also concerns about the humanitarian situation. that's also something that will come up with uh, blinking when he holds his talks with the foreign ministers of cuts. how the united arab emirates, egypt saudi arabia and also the palestinian representatives with their in amman. but there is no way of

a profit cease 5 being on the table when it comes to the way of sandy's way. well, we do know that it's not just the air of staves calling for a ceasefire. israel's most important ally, the u. s. has also been pressing israel for at the very least a temporary, what it calls the human a tarion sees fire. are there any signs of that pressure from america having an impact on these really government as well on the one side every time. and so they blinking has been hit us export free of stacy has repeated israel has a right to defend itself. at the same time he's calls for i see monetary pulls into hostilities has been growing. we're talking about more than 9000 pillows, palestinians who died, both of flight has and civilians, according to the health industry, which is under how much control in the gaza strip. and israel justifies these by

saying it's knocked out key commanders, thousands of combatants in the tunnels, hiding under this infrastructure, disability and infrastructure like hospitals. schools we heard last night, also ambulance con, boys and hospitals. this is going to cause international indignation. i mean, hearing the staggering numbers and the amount of a civilian infrastructure that's being hit and that's where all the pressure is going to come from. not just from the us. the problem is when that pressure comes from a broad hum us inside is able use that to force us east for that was the w correspondence . beneficial and reporting for us from jerusalem. then many thanks and these to un secretary general antonio good tenisha says he is horrified by and is really strong. an ambulance convoy outside god as big as hospital. he also said the

conflict must stop. israel has confirmed that it did target the ambulance saying it was being used by him, off to transport fighters and weapons. mosse run health authorities, says dozens were killed or wounded cans and despair. people rushed to help those wounded in this try canal ship a hospital in gaza city. the some us run health ministers said that an ambulance convoy was hit as it was leaving the hospital, caring critically one the patients to the roof of both across and into egypt. israel into and says that the ambulance had targeted was being used by homeless militants, the the, the striking nail ship, a hospitals,

the biggest hospital in the gaza strip. as to the numerous challenges its medical personnel had been facing and recent weeks with dropped as desperately trying to treat patients in a facility that's on the brink of collapse. with frequent power outages that having to use mobile phone lights to treat the wounded voided. if it was, they fit your resources in the hospital decreases by the minute and no one else is here to help. and then we hold the united nations and the whole world responsible for doing nothing towards those patients. and the palestinians come out and pull up the new front of me. i know we have all children here. children are suffering here, floods and there's no one to help that i was or they, without. the un has once again called for humanitarian poses in fighting these negotiations must continue,

but they are not enough. we must have those pauses. we must have those pauses. if we do not have pauses, we will not keep up with the needs of each of garza. and these rays also caught up in those areas of contract. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country would press on, but it's offensive from gaza. we're continuing with all those trend and israel is refusing a temporary cruise that does not include the release of our hostages. is that we're not enabled entry of fuel into gaza and oppose this strong spring money to this trip to hospitals like i'll shoot. so we'll have to rely on the little that have, in order to help the rapidly growing number of one that mike mark, who is a war studies senior fellow at kings college london. and earlier he told us,

under what circumstances an ambulance con, void could become a legitimate military target. it's so ordinarily under the laws of war, things like hospitals, ambulances, you know, other medical facilities, protected. and so then not to come under attack. of course, if those a medical facilities all used for military purposes, they lose that protection. so what you see in this argument between how often is whether here, right, exactly what happens. both of them law states in that case, as low as well as we've seen already in this conflict is very, very difficult to determine exactly what has happened and it will probably take a few days of forensic analysis of footage and the like to determine if it's all possible, what exactly is happening to and now we're also hearing that gaza city is besieged and israel says it's entered the 3rd phase of the war. what do we know

about the urban warfare that's under wave there now? so over the last week or so, israel has to come in on the 3 axis and positions its troops around the of an area of cause a not very good reason for me in that she points, it means that they control access in and out of the city and this allows them going forward to be more deliberate about going into the city enables and so for example, right, if they want, if they want to take out that particular how much lead to it allows them to go in and take a tunnel system and then retreat back to the area that they control. so i think what we see now is the stage is set for the next, you know, weeks or months of is radio patients. and then trying to achieve that goal is of destroying him, us and getting back the hostages,

their strong public backing for the palestinians in south africa. now police from the government, which has been a long term supporter of their cause. but it is a divisive issue. many in south africa's jewish community want to see the government to take a more balance stance. the double use diane hawker reports from cape town. hundreds of south africans gathering to show support for the palestinian people. they accuse israel of human rights abuses in gaza. someone to solve f as in government to take what would be significant diplomatic action immediate thing the. 8 so these really invested this, many of those protesting see parallels between israel's treatment of the palestinians and south africa's treatment of black people and pottage. human rights watch an amnesty international accused israel of being in

a parted state. these really government states, those accusations are biased, inaccurate, and anti semitic. but here in south africa, the birthplace of the tomb, a part it became has been a t feature of protein. the africa was our own. to show the positive and colonialism, we should have better than anyone else. but we need to start with the most modular lives in order to ensure that palestine is free and we need to do all parts of the international community to, to stand with them. among those at the protest or jewish south africans who feel solidarity with the palestinians affected by the ongoing conflict, i want to send the south african government for their commitments to the pilots in their struggle. now they've got to actually commit to what it is that they're saying. and so they need to do the thing. and to show that this support is not just the routing agency as piece to support for palestinians in gaza

and the west bank. the party has long had strong ties with the palestinians who bet . so that freak has liberation movement in the 19 eighties and nineties, people and then the organization that has struggled against an oppressive system of apaches. we do with the policy and the forgiveness, the congress. we have always pledged us for the data to with them and we have always insisted that the only solution for the problems in the middle east particularly between is dr. paula started is a 2 state solution. recently the government faced accusations of supporting terrace group from us off the foreign minister and the lady pendle said she had spoken to it's vida to discuss a deliveries. the government rejects the allegations,

steaming stations around the country have been peaceful, but some criticize the choice to whole protest in cape town. see point area home to many to shove africans for these organizations to come to the point on saturday. when they noticed the sabbath. i think is a clear threat against the jews community and it's a intimidation jews. he have also held demonstrations calling for peace and dialogue in the middle east. they urge the south african government to consider the jewish victims of october 7th, as well as palestinians. well, we were deeply hurt and we were angry that the government didn't come out with a condemnation of the how much the tax we have been quoting and our government to condemn the x. and to show a bit more of a balanced approach, more protest i showed you in the coming days, the government sees it's ready to offer support immediate and the conflict. let's
