east protests have broken out on israel's doorstep with pro palestinian demonstrators and several middle eastern countries heading to the border with israel to condemn the violence. i run to thousands jordanians have been demonstrating at the border with israel for a 2nd day now to show solidarity with palestinians in jerusalem and the gaza strip police clashed with protesters using cheer gas to disperse the crowds and demonstrators were chanting down with israel as they marched to the frontier several anti israel protests also took place in the jordanian capital and other parts of the country. a palestinian rally was also held in lebanon a small group of protesters actually crossed the border into israel and were shot upon by the i.d.f. forces according to local media a 21 year old protester was hit by israeli fire and died of his wounds the lebanese
7:17 pm
army and security forces were deployed to disperse the protesters and earlier we discussed the on rest in the wider region with middle east and defense analyst dan fefferman. tensions in the protests and what we see in israel's neighboring countries is shows us how much of a tinderbox the israeli palestinian conflict is to the surrounding region what's important here is that both countries the governments fully understand that it is hamas that must stop the rocket fire that hamas is the instigator and so they're going to try to do as we see everything they can to keep those posts yesterday and suddenly the protesters the people in the street do not understand this dynamic and naturally they're sympathetic to the palestinians in this case it's understandable because the the video footage you see on the news is much more dramatic and much more tragic on the palestinian side we hear on our side 2000 rockets is incredibly difficult we know how to defend ourselves because we've poured billions of dollars
7:18 pm

7:20 pm
the ongoing investigation is looking into crimes allegedly committed by individuals or groups of people israeli security forces were accused by palestinians and some activists of targeting civilians and critical infrastructure in gaza including schools and hospitals palestinian militants were also accused of firing indiscriminately into israeli civilian populated areas the 2 sides reacted quite differently to the launch of the investigation with palestinians hailing it as quote necessary and urgent while israel rejected the allegations and refused to cooperate with the i.c.c. at all calling it calling into question its authority and jurisdiction both those
7:21 pm
sentiments were echoed by our guests earlier. and the international community is doing nothing to stop israel they are just what the watching even condemnation the security council is a lot of 11 for the palestinians they are hopeless they are helpless and they feel this verdict and this is what led to is that a little this is as i was trying to find a way to the cancer. in see but i see just a guess as are they are waiting for the british prosecutor general to take his place next month and they think that he could change. decision of the one who was supposed to become. a general organ so that listen even to hear of the court of heart the heart is almost the do not know will dump you know she's a muslim if she is biased in the 1st place before even speaking of love. or serious
