9:10 am
aggression against garza, against tyrants, towards military operations in the gaza strip again to mazda. they also protesting against these rarely strikes and forms, and also they are here to show their support in solidarity with people in gaza. it is a tally, seen and, and clave on the mediterranean that has been ruled by a most militant group for more than 15 years. living under is really economic blockade and now under bombardment and a siege actually started, there is no walter fuel supplies, it has been caught, have spice stays real because basically e's real controls. all the boulders to wrong thing. a guy is a free earlier. how must his leaders, male honey, a cold, and all arabs and moves in across the world. and especially in this region in the country folder in gaza, to reach out to the nearest point where they can confront is released horses. he
9:11 am
sees they, for as the beginning of the liberation from these really a rule of the palestinians that actually most of the international community see it as a 7th and 5 year long military occupations. hey, this is how he calls on people on palestinians on arabs, muslims across the world to rise up make to revolution and liberate how this time. i would check my sons. so going, so of course the games tub is really strikes and against israeli military occupation. and i want to explain to you where i am right now. this is the outskirts of ramallah. so it's time to get the key and kind of what commercial a capital. this is a gas station where you can see some people like some youngsters a high day from time to time. they take out to the street and throw stones and sometimes molotov cocktails towards these rarely soldiers. i hope you
9:12 am
can see them over there on the hill. this is where these really military base is situated. they, you also see a black smoke edit from tires that have been burned here earlier. i'm from time to time the army responds with tier dads and at least twice there were a short slave rubber boots. we know that because immediately after every shots, we see i'm the ones coming to the scene and it's painting the days injured and we hear that at least 5 people have been injured here already. and by the nature of the injuries, we tend to judge about a towards rub up a bullet use and also live on the nation. that is used very often according to the policy and information center. at least 84 palestinians have been killed all across the west bank since the beginning of the world. on october, the 7th,
9:13 am
around 600 others has been arrested and these really police says the 375 of them belonged to her mazda. and we also hear reports that they weapons have been confiscated at so as you can see tensions of very high. but at the same time we have to know that, i mean not a lot of people here. and the reason, the reason for that before coming here for us to confront saves, rarely forces, crowds have been gathering all across the a c t on the square, up in front of the malls. and they, they were planning to march towards here, but they was only seen in police on the ground, a rough thing, some of the demonstrators and preventing them from marching. and this is another reason why people take to the streets. they say that this, how is the new leadership is not doing enough in this situation to show that they are against is really military operation. and by a rough thing,
9:14 am
palestinian protests was here in the west bank. they actually play for these really side. they call them craters, and this is also the slogan that we can often hear hear about as you can see now, like guys a hiding here at the gas station. but at any moment, right, like right now, i mean they're ready to go towards the soldiers waving palestine and flog. so he's taking the tire and bringing it to the to the fire. so basically this is the situation here, right now, the number. yeah. has there been any reaction from israel that we've gotten so far? well, speaking about the situation in israel, i have to say that earlier on friday, central parts of the country and of course, southern community folder and guys have been targeted by have mass rockets,
9:15 am
fire. it's from a jobs that we hear that avon to jerusalem, the whole the see to not only for jews, christians, but promotions as well, has been targeted. they were so many perceptions in the suburbs of jerusalem. and it is surprising every time us targets jerusalem because of august and most one of the oldest places for l moves. and i'm actually the reason for this recent offensive volume moss, against israel is situated in the old city of jerusalem. but it's still a being targeted of course, the outskirts, but sometimes miss halls lie there where they were not supposed to fly. so it's very risky to target jerusalem, but we see it happening every time. and also there is another kind of tension rising among re lease rising amount is really because
9:16 am
people offers, trained to do with the how the government is right now dealing with a hostage situation. and they have been protest in the city of tel aviv, and he's mar reports about hostages. we know that at least 200 people are right now . health by have mazda in the guys was 3, but no police rail is. let's take a look at my reports. at least 200 people are being held hostage by her mouse in gaza. the question many no honest days when they are going to be returned home and if yes, alive or dead, taught how to do is calls herself him us mission to attacks the viper in 2010. she was assaulted by 2 arabs, one of whom was proven to be linked to the milton's group. a friend of hers was murdered in front of her eyes. and i felt on my side, you know, tied up. and he's leaning on my side and he's pounding me with this, michelle, he and i can him, my bones broke. and every time he tugs,
9:17 am
he has to tug the knife out because it gets stuck in bone and then it's again and again and nice is going through flush and to meet us. why? while he's still stopping me. i watched the other hack up, christine lucon in front of my eyes, and play dead and survived. she believes it's better to be killed, then taken hostage by him as her father said to me something i'll never forget. and you just as i pray my daughter is dead rather than be held in gaza. and that is the most i, the shots are in sing for a parent to say that you hope your child is dead and powerless of these hostages the on such and see available the knowing that children the going through. you know, we want to find the bodies but, but back to death then fall into the hands of how much the medicine experts see things differently. professor as a cashier is one of the authors of the idea of assets code and was part of these
9:18 am
rarely permission to set standards for negotiations with the enemy. in case of objection, the command was established at the time of one of the loudest cases of an idea of soldier. glad shelley being held hostage in guys for more than 5 years. he was eventually released, exchanged for 1027 palestinian prisoners. today also is rather optimistic about the outcome they, we keep them alive very carefully because that because the good, because this is of their interest for the living was going to get much more than 4 bodies. they're not insane. they're just the more of a statement is by him. us echo as assessment, and that's no one at the wireless and we deal with the prison this in accordance with addiction. so while religion and we cancelled them in accordance with what is required memorial and human duty, that each what we eat and drink what we drink, and today they leave and the same conditions as the general population of present
9:19 am
us. so how it just stays real openly says it doesn't, it's negotiate with the terrorist. this is how israel has always seemed to have mass built into group ruling. gaza says it is a political statement, but tullocks are held. that's the diplomatic game. but the practical game is different. the 3rd parties, which is germany or it just talk about are, are going to talk both to be the home us and his role and solve the problem. it also has no doubt that hostages will be returned home life, if only the reason enough will, from both sides, while from mazda is certainly interested. these really political leadership seems to be divided to extreme nationalistic, i draw the religious parties that waiting for sacrifice, said is, if he's ready for their dreams, whether the government can do it is a good question because those parties govern government. i mean,
9:20 am
there is no government without them, so they can accept pressures of the government. i mean, definitely for prime minister antonia hold a hostage. situation. mites revised personal memories. in 1976, his older brother was killed while rescuing captives add on to the airport and it down to the events. the prime minister repeatedly said shaped his future life. but there are other forces in the country. a member always rows inferential far, right. the blog of the ruling call lation, finance ministers. smotts rich has been quoted by various is rarely media as making a controversial statement. do you are in a cabinet meeting? we have to be cool. now. not to think too much about the hostages in gaza. it's time for action, but this time it's not only up to israel to decide. they're all foreign nationals, them on the hostages, from their own stuff, the countries which seem to have clearly set the priorities. we're doing everything we can to secure the release of the hostages working closely with our as really
9:21 am
partners. i was intense, even with the experience, was that and we're also working intensively with ease real regarding the epic tease the missing persons and trying to determine exactly how many people are involved and what we can do to help them and get back to freedom because they have now been abducted misunderstanding the at this point has been confirmed the one russian citizen who is also in is rarely passport holder, is among from us as hostages. there might be more, but we don't know about them. we get this information from is real. the families of foreign hostages held in gaza, call on their governments to do their best to secure the release of their loved ones. that the biggest pressure is at home is around people are angry, that's a government failed to prevent the tragedy from happening and offers trade. so that's how it is currently regarding the flight of the hostages. visiting on the families of those kidnaps to gaza, started as a sold to repeated 10 groups. last 2 big protests. people come here 247. and while
9:22 am
these really leadership makes promises to come, the public, the negotiator is trying to find a way forward 10 beyond forces gets ready for a ground operation. these people have no other thing to do, but to come here to show how badly they one say the loved ones, back home, safe and sound. reasonable. she to auntie from telling me and less than 24 hours after his world, one trip to israel, the us president addressed as nation, that one to create a better, more stable future for the middle east. joe biden also called for an additional $100000000000.00 in a to both israel and ukraine. something he described as a smart investment for america's future. the united states and our partners across the region are working to build a better future for at least one way or the middle east is more stable that are connected to his neighbors, more predictable markets, more employment, less rates, much grievances, less war. i'm going to send the congress an urgent budget request to fund another
9:23 am
dispatch. so security needs to support are critical partners, including israel and ukraine. is a smart investment is going to pay dividends for americans, security for generations. now president biden also said that the us remains committed to a 2 state solution between israel and palestine. that's the spike. how existence that currently themes are these donald quarter has been assessing the success of us foreign policy. once upon a time, american foreign policy was a bit more cautious when it came to the middle east. you must remember the 1st, i'm an american 2nd, i'm a secretary of state. and 3rd, i am a jew. what times of change that american politicians are now more used to taking things a little personally, if you'll permit me, um, personal aside, i come before you not only as the united states secretary state, but also is
9:24 am
a do. it's not like being a jill means you have to support as rarely, bombing campaigns against the palestinian people in the us state department. so you're not, you've got no choice terms like the escalation and phrases like an end to the blood shed had been banned. the department's internal communications, scroll diplomacy pick aside to support and co op and cross your fingers for the enemy's brutal destruction. it's the u. s. foreign policy strategy that we've seen throughout the decades of conflicts across the globe, a run, a few escalate. this war were coming for you try one, makes your own judgments about their independence. we are not moving. we're not encouraging or being independent. we're not to let that's their decision. but would us forces defend the want? yes, we will continue to stand by ukraine side. and today, we're announcing you assistance totally more than $1000000.00 in this common effort . for some reason, it seems to have come as a surprise to western officials that the rest of the world has been a little taken aback by the barbarism man,
9:25 am
who parker see they've seen over the years. we've definitely lost the battle in the global self. all the work we have done with the global south over ukraine has been lost. forget about the rules, forget about the born order. they won't ever listen to us again. what does the us have to show for trying to divide and conquer the globe? protests at home involving both jews and arabs. i'm here because president item statement still reflects my stance as an american do. so i'm here to stand up against and i'm upset about what my government has done in a rack in vietnam and gamma gamma. stan. i'm upset about the history of our country, which includes genocide and slavery. and i want israel and the united states not to keep making that same mistake because hate and war only creates more hate and more, even though it's helping you are in fact, given the green light for ease, real to come meet the genocides, what crimes and crime against you menissi,
9:26 am
you found us as american citizens. you failed us as philistines, and you failed the world's community abroad. washington doesn't feel that citizens are safe anymore while we're even starting to see the sand and the state department itself. i believe to the core of my soul that the responses were at least taking and with it the american support by full that responds and for the state just quoted, the occupation. let me lead to more and deepest suffering. the body is really and the palestinian people and is north in the long term american interest. diplomacy is supposed to build bridges, split. america's foreign policy is only burning them down. perhaps it's time for washington to rethink the way it treats the rest of the world. we've got thoughts on this from international relations expert, donovan williams, and the international secretary of a south african trade union been gone. you must do cool. we must understand that the u. s. economies based on the military industrial complex the
9:27 am
pitfall. so the military industrial complex already is pushy for all over the world in different parts of the what. so it benefit from the is foundation or that's why the west destination says by uh in the occupation and update the end quote. and the other is the more will not be attending other because otherwise the community does start to come. that's we don't start is business. but you know it's, it's a bump it up to a dentist on the destruction. and now the companies i've talked to the rebuilding us companies. busy it's business, but it's, it's a, it's all computers in wifes, shut off the experience. it's in different parts of the way it should not be. and that's if she needs me to use the united states have sidelines or countries from intervening for peace, particularly in palestine and israel. the not more than just not an honest broker
9:28 am
the i have no intention for peace because as i said, they work in concert and for peace in the middle east. the main meta, the central massive remains, these variety, palestinian, or the oppression of is wrong on palestine. it is more than korea. we saw president biden on these ways. uh, supposedly to meet with jordan, supposedly to meet with the palestinian authority and so forth. we saw that while he was on his way, both jordan and the palestinian authority said no the cost of each with the united states. i think that's a king vacation president biden, by virtue of the v. tony and the security council is not interested in a ceasefire. is not interested in stopping the key, the killing of innocent civilians, children and women, and all persons and disabled persons can you call us back to and with tensions escalating and loving. and over the israel palestine conflict,
9:29 am
the us and british i'm the season. very route. are advising their citizens to leave the country while they still can is rarely, authorities are also evacuating towns close to the border with lebanon. r t z austin ecken has more on the tinderbox situation in the region on the border region between lebanon, israel, for the most part, seems quiet, and the clashes seem contained. for the most part, there is also the threats and the possibility of all of this conflict between israel and gaza, spilling over to a neighboring regions like this. there are about 14 villages along this border, least this portion of it. and the classes have been sporadic drones survey of the sky 247 providing necessary reconnaissance and information for the is really military is below for the time being has been carrying out the tax targeting bases of operations, targeting telecommunications, in an effort to deteriorate. the red and his capabilities of the is really military
9:30 am
. this comes at a time when israel says that it will launch war against the gaza strip, essentially. and this is a quote, re shaping the middle east. this is a matter of great concern for not just the citizens in this area, but has the law as well. they have come out and issued statements suggesting that if the attack is unjustified or at least the use of force is on proportion, and that is what level be in a position to react and intervene and potentially open a 2nd front to an already concerning war. the most important benefit of, of course, of the his beloved front opening is that it will or may provide some sort of relief for the palestinians and the civilians living in the gaza strip. but that's not to say that the civilians living in this part of the region will benefit. many people have been leaving and villages along the southern border. seeking shelter up further north, particularly searching for rentals and places to stay in the capital city of bates .
