8:14 pm
taylor building and this won't be easy no we will continue this would be all these this is the their target we're building and destroying it we will continue from anywhere from gaza all the offices of journalists of gaza to the it will be our office member of fatah revolutionary council which is part of the palestinian parliament dmitri deal jani says there's no end to the escalation in sight. of course it's going to continue it's a netanyahu school to call interest to. strengthen the right wing it is will block which is basically worked on 3 or mongering and that's their chop and i saw jimmy also ought to slap that mahmoud up bass for indefinitely elections so please luke leave who are the 2 leaders and civilian space that perhaps no i haven't said that you have given also the difference own an undue
8:15 pm
crimes and massacres that are committed by the state is rather nothing compared to what a mess is retaliate with anything in any event i believe that there is political interest for both sides to escalate and not to have any sign of ceasefire at this moment in order to move in more political discourse course on how the foreign ministry is totally detached from the war who who's killing groom what easy talking about the night of sixteen's or bombing the apartment buildings shopping centers businesses schools sports facilities in the jungle of these bikes there and have said out who i'm going and getting killed i know well life was too much money could ever be a 9137 and more than a 1000 engine you cannot compare that and you cannot prove their b b b b abilities of how master another was
8:16 pm
a distance actions in gaza with the ability of the strongest state in the middle east now 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 was around 1000 jordanians have been demonstrating on 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 tear gas to disperse the crowds and demonstrators were chanting down with israel as they marched to the frontier several anti israel protesters also took place protests also took place in jordan the jordanian capital and other parts of the country. rally was also held in lebanon a small group of protesters actually cross the border into israel and were shot
8:17 pm
upon by i.d.f. forces according to local media a 21 year old protester was hit by israeli fire and died of his wounds a lebanese army and the lebanese army and security forces were deployed to disperse the protesters and earlier we discussed the unrest 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 those 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 post esther's 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
8:18 pm
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 over the years to build up defensive capabilities to protect ourselves from hamas and hizbollah rockets if need be so that just goes to show you that the government's full well understand who is at fault here and hopefully they will continue to control the protesters as much as possible. while in paris riot police were deployed to break up palestinian protests on saturday dozens of demonstrators were detained. i. try. demonstrators chanted slogans and held banners which read israel is a murderer and the genocide activists had gathered despite a ban by authorities over fears of violence the french interior minister himself called for the protest to be blocked over $4000.00 officers were mobilized in paris
8:19 pm
and pro palestinian rallies are also taking place in other cities across the country including marsay. and in germany as well clashes and arrests were made in berlin the marches coincide with the i knew will not day which marks the expulsion of palestinians from contested land after the state of israel was created over 70 years ago while in greece pro palestinian supporters rallied next to the israeli embassy in athens scuffles broke out after around $500.00 activists faced off with police. a top prosecutor at the international criminal court has warned palestinian militants and israel that they may both be subject to investigation in early may in early march this year the courts opened a probe into possible war crimes in the palestinian territories which dates back to the israeli operation in the gaza strip in 2014.
8:20 pm
the ongoing investigation is looking into crimes allegedly committed by individuals or groups of people and 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 now the 2 sides reacted
8:21 pm
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 international criminal court calling into question its authority and jurisdiction over those 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 lot of 11 for the ballistae and so they are hopeless they are helpless and that they feel this verdict and this is what led to is it a little this is it is it i list trying to find a way to the cancer i c c c just a guess as are the other way i think that the british prosecutor general to take his place next month and they think that he could change the. decision of the one who was supposed to become at the ex. general so that lease or even to hear
8:22 pm
