the the a people are reportedly killed and doesn't injured and it is really strikes on the oldest greek orthodox church and gaza for people had been seeking shelter. they've been showing everything, even churches in mosques house was built in. so we relocate to the judge that they showed us that the families of those kidnapped to gaza, started as a sole 3 pickets. time grew faster, big process people come here, 247 distraught relatives up some of the 200 is re lease, still believes to be held hostage by how mos demand more is done to secure their release. we want to find the bodies, put that back to death and fall into the hands of waiting for the go

vitals. humanitarian aid supplies build at the tips border with gaza ahead of an expected opening of the crossing. that says israel's bombardment continues ahead of the looming ground offensive. the coming to you live from the rushing capital. this is our t international with the latest and world news today. i'm 0 a isabel, welcome to the program. and we start with the latest from the israel palestine conflict in gaza were 8 people are set up until after a greek orthodox church was destroyed by and is really air strikes. see dozens of civilians who are sheltering in the church have also been wounded, more casualties. are feared as many are still trapped under the rubble. israel has yet to comment on the incident. both muslims and christians alike had been taking refuge there from the continuous bombing. one survivors spoke of what happened. and

they like me, they've been showing everything, even churches and most of our house was built in. so we relocated to the judge. but they showed us that as you can see, the charge was packed with people and it was sheldon, the building came down right on our heads that were more than 400 people in the church. the deputy mouse is due to the building being demolished over their heads. the break orthodox patriarch had of jerusalem said targeting the church constitutes a war crime. it was not the only only the oldest christian church in gaza, but also one of the oldest in the world. with more details, here's local reporter hom such a long. i went to a church, one of the one on one of our team. there he was working with us at the company, the southern the come to us till us the talk to church. i started

a church directly, we take a car and we went there. and after we reach the location, everybody was confused. we're heavy ones and no one was able to get inside the church, the church, it's actually a habit and how it included in many buildings. so a building is who a distance or it can complete the whole completely destroyed. is the management building, which is there's a lot of activities. so if there's a lot for sure people inside this, the church was a huge, a massive explosion. there was very deep hole in the ground. so we try to the compass crew the firefighters trying to get the injuries under the people of the comfortable

pieces under the robber. and we witnessed that people already died and still on the top of the cancer heart the it's was, it was heartbreaking to see this community, this community suffering, expecting happening to them because they use this church as a center. so this is a human nation to do the whole palace for the cushion or, or muslims, or jewish, or whatever the are the people who was inside the church, around the church. and what was your idea of more christian community? people there was struck and it was a lot of them was crying because many of them did last. the family members, one of the guards, i found he lost his mom. he was really crying and he was starting. the community

was confused and they don't know where to go. for sure. most of them are jersey assigned to help each other and these kind of situations everyone in goes to receiving one that was injured was angry grain. i'm from that mostly from the emerson's community, from the christian community. that is what it is. i've talked to that area and purpose. they need to talk that area. they're trying to deliver a message to the official community and how you should lead to the song. and people there after being here to from the side free palestine and we not doing to leave our lines. these are products to use the size just the same place. and as a humanitarian crisis intensifies and gaza with israel having cold water and electricity supplies the un special rubber tour on the occupied,

palestinian territories warns that israel could be committing genocide under the pretext of self defense. the situation in the occupied palestinian territory. and israel has reached a fever pitch. israel has already carried out mess ethnic cleansing of palestinians under the fog of war. again, in the name of self defense, israel is seeking to justify what would amount to ethnic cleansing as the idea of continues to launch stripes on cause more and more buildings are being reduced to rubble, recent drones that it shows the widespread devastation after a barrage of air strikes on the breezy refugee camp, resulting in thousands of casualties as a desperate search for survivors is under way after another is really or strike in a neighborhood. in northern gauze, the local spoke of their plates. i guess your phones were phones, at least 5 survivors, but not anymore a trip to onto the rubble. the whole territory was hits. this is on the positive. it's what can i say all the is enough to me. he is my protector. so now i go and

every with fines mobile this p a that was not only the lady that lives here, but also her relative send. yes, they will all hate by the strike. they should warn us before they strike, they ask us to head south and then they bump this out. they told us to had more, and then they boom there to where was supposed to go. we one sleep will hole, i'll roll in here. and guys, we don't want to go anywhere else. whatever happens. meanwhile, dozens of trucks carrying humanitarian a have arrived at the russell border. crossing, ready to enter, bozza, the un secretary general. antonio gutierrez, is there also ready to help with the transfer of much needed essentials to the palestinian enclave. let's cross now to cairo and speak to the former advisor to the definition for administer. husein holidays who's saying welcome,

can you tell us more about the deal by which egypt will allow aid into gaza? that was the question is not easy. money comes to the fact crossing. the question is uh, the united states and israel. from the outset, asia has outline, has pointed out that to the exemption side of the crossing is open and egypt has no objections to letting the current national it was at trap garza to cross into restriction territory, provided that the crossing the crossing would also be used to introduce to many, petty and assistance. 8 to guys uh uh to him because his dns. uh cool with the siege uh that isabel has imposed on on, on the guys listed. so we are, we are ready whenever, whenever, whenever the americans and the is and i eat is as easy to open the, the,

the other side of the crossing. and as i understand it, the, especially that the american, especially that presented to, to humanitarian assistance center. they would set the so it's trying to work out the details in his the context was most, these are the heaters and with the exception for the ministry having said that, we are working on it betting the damage to the roads on the other side of the project cuz of the crossing, it goes by, is it 80 bombardment? last week israel bombarded the by the senior side of the cross crossing 4 times a month. imagine so, and as a, as the 2nd to the center of the united nation said today in front of the egyptian side of the, the, the, the crossing. he said that introducing the humanitarian assistance as quickly as

possible entered as a, as a matter of life and death. and we, in egypt, we completely subscribe to this part of you. but the uh, the other site isn't that you just put the i put the conditions on the introduction a minute that he had assistance in order to start the by the cdns and bring it and bring them in to complete some submission. and so then that was the, is a very easy one. now as you mentioned, israel has been targeting the rasa crossing. do you think that this time they'll allow this a through and what would they want in exchange perhaps of in, in allowing this way? you know, on our side we have more than 100 trucks getting around more than 800000 tons of fluid water. and, and medicine it through the philistines, in gusta, at what the americans, what the americans age,

what they expect us is that on the 20 trucks would enter, would enter. because as to and as the united nations, the senior officials said in the last 24 hours, at least we need to, we need $100.00 trucks at least, to enter. and does that every day in order to provide with the growing needs of the 1st thing is 2000000 and have media studies thing is that in in garza now, why do you think egypt is preventing palestinians from crossing into the territory that i'm not sure that i would uh, i would use preventing a re uh not on easy but it is just an jordan autograph. fully aware of the isn't i the plans of displacing a thousands, hundreds of thousands of seniors from the west bank of jordan and from doesn't have

to say 9 in holder to florence and definitely the establishment of an independent but as the and state. uh, that's one fine. the other one met him at supposing that to me in and happy median, but his dns would come and set that into say not. there is no way that will prevent them or prevent both of them. do age and holy war on is away from sign up and that would be taking a very dangerous distress to be fine, or that would solicit, isn't it so that he made it to the action in some that isn't that it would that that is it shouldn't that or so that would, of course, that would, uh, would independent agents to defend itself already. and it's sort of the

integrity anyhow. and let's, let's, let's hope that the efforts by the united nations secretary general at would succeed and, and he might have better assistance, would start running into guys that unconditionally and sustaining the different president yesterday that it's a, it's, it's, it's very important that humanitarian assistance has has access is suspended between these 2 guys that would, that without any conditions attached to the passage of this assistance, a precarious situation. indeed, who's saying here are the former advisor to the egyptian foreign minister. thank you. thank you. meta. meanwhile, tensions are flaring in the west bank city of rama la, you can see smoke rising over the sea and people running and shouting, palestinians are protesting against the continued is really

a tax on their territory. they also questioned the effectiveness of the response of their own authorities. apologies. actions are middle east bureau chief maria the notion now has more details on the west bank. he's on fire again for the 2nd week in the roll off to friday prayer, which is the most important and as long periods of losing protest the lead towards these really chip horn sees really me with 3 bases to demonstrate against what they call and is really aggression, again, dog again, tyrants, swords, military operation in the gases. 3 for games have 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 from us militant group for more than 15 years. living under is really economic law paid. now under bombardment and a siege actually served,

there was no walter of fuel supplies. it has been caught, have spice stays ro because basically he's real controls. all the builder is the wrong thing. a guy is a 3 earlier. how must his leaders mail honey, a cold and all arabs and moves in across the world. and especially in this region, in the country folder and gaza, to reach out to the nearest point where they can confront is released horses. he sees a score as the beginning of the liberation from these read it rule of the poly cnn . but actually most of the international community, see it's as a 7 to 5 year long, military occupations. hey, this is how he calls on people on palestinians on arabs, move things across the world to rise up make to revolution. and liquor rates, palestine a mazda of 10, so going, so of course, the games tub is really tried said 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 some or show a capital. this is the gas station where you can see some people like some youngsters a high day from time to time and they take out to the street and throw stones. and sometimes molotov cocktails towards these rarely soldiers. i hope you 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. from time to time, the army responds with tier dads and at least twice there were a short, slight rubber boots. we know that because immediately after every shots, we see i'm coming to the scene and pay to those 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 h was rob of a bullet, use an old to live on the nation. that is used very often according to the palace thing and information center, at least 80 for palestinians have been killed all across the west bank since the beginning of the world. on october, the 7th, around 600, others has been arrested and these really police says that 375 of them belong to her mazda. and we also hear reports that they weapons have been confiscated at so as you can see, tensions of very how i 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 a to confront these really 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, arresting some of the demonstrators and, and change them from all chase. and this is another reason why people take to the streets. they say that the tale senior leadership is not doing enough in this situation to show that they are against is really military operation. and by a rough thing, palestinian protests was here in the west bank. they actually play for these really sides. they call them freighters, 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. probably seen in slug. he's taking the tire and bringing it to him to the fire. so basically, this is the situation here right now earlier on friday,

central parts of the country and of course, southern communities. bouldering guys have been targeted by have mass rockets, fire. it's from a gas. uh we hear of that evan, to jerusalem. they always say to not only for dues present, but promotions as well, has been targeted. there were so many perceptions in the suburbs of jerusalem. and it is surprising every time us talk is jerusalem because of the most one of the oldest places for l moves. and actually the reason for this recent fab 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 amman is re lease rise in a minus relays because people offers, trained to do with is that how the government is right now dealing with a hostage situation. and they have been protest in the city of til i be, and he's more reports about hostages. we know that at least 200 people are right now. health by have mazda in the guise of treatment, no police railroads. let's take a look at my reports. 4 at least 200 people are being held hostage by how mouse and gaza. and the question many know, ask is when is it going to be returned home? and if yes, alive or dead, dot had to have called herself a have most most sure to attack survivor. 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. i felt at my side, you know,

tied up. and he's leaning on my side and these pounded me with this with chevy and i can him, my bones broke. and every time he tugs, he has to tug the knife out because it get stuck in bone and then it's again and again and nice has gotten through flesh and to meet us. why? while he's still stopping me. i watched the other hack up, christine, look in 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 he 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 assess and see available the knowing what that children are going through. you know, we want to find the bodies but, but best to death,

them fall into the hands of how much experts see things differently. professor as a capture is one of the authors of the idea of assets code and was part of these 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 in 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 ones that are going to get much more than 4 bodies. there's nothing saying they are just the more of a statement is by him. us echo as assessment. that's no one at the we deal with the prisoners 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 in the same conditions as the general population of present us . it just stays real open this as a 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 as you talk about are, are going to talk both to be the home us, and here's ro and solve the problem. it also has no doubts that hostages will be returned home alive, if only the reason off will from both sides. well, how mazda is certainly interested these really political leadership seems to be divided extreme, not should this big draw or the adults are. they just parties that waiting for sacrifice citizens, if he's ready for their dreams,

whether the government can do it is a good question because those parties, government, the government, i mean there is no government without them. so they could 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 the rescuing captives done to the airport and it down to the events. the prime minister repeatedly said shaved his future life. but there are other forces in the country, and member res rose influential far, right. the blog of the ruling coalition, finance ministers, smotts ridge, has been quoted by various rarely media as making a controversial statement during 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 to 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 partners. i live in tennessee from its expenses, 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 being abducted, so they're sending to at this point it's 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. but the biggest pressure is at home and he's around people are angry that the government failed to prevent the tragedy from happening and offers trade. so that's how it is currently regarding the plight of the hostages. this is

the families of those kidnaps to gaza, started as a sole 3 peak of 10 groups. last 2 big protests. people come here 247. and while these really leadership makes promises to come the public, the negotiators try to find a way forward 10 beyond forces gets ready for a ground operation. these people have no obvious thing to do, but to come here to show how badly they one say the loved ones back home, safe and sound. reason was, you know, on see from tell any and less than 24 hours after his world, one trip to israel, the us president addressed as nation that going 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 re, to much grievances, less war. i'm going to send to congress an urgent budget request to fund another 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. meanwhile, president biden also said the us remains committed to a 2 state solution between israel and palestine. despite how distance that currently seems. ortiz donald quarter has been assessing the success of u. s. 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'm 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 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 de escalation and phrases like an end to the blood shed had been banned. the departments, 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 you print 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. hope talk or 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 jail. so i'm here to stand up against and i'm upset about what my government has done in a rack in vietnam and ask 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. in fact, given the green light for israel to come, meet the genocide, war crimes and crime against you. menissi, 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 sands in the state department itself, i believe to the core of my soul that the responses, or at least taking and with it, the american support by full, that responds and for the state is quite of the occupation. let me lead to more and deeper sufferings about these really and the palestinian people and is not in the long term american interest. diplomacy is supposed to build bridges, but america's foreign policy is only burning them down. perhaps it's time for washington. 3 thinks the way it treats the rest of the world. we have thoughts on this from international relations expert, donovan williams, and the international secretary of a south.
