israel but also politically from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the defense minister benny gantz any moment now. harry is there a sense that people there residents and others were had an expectation that there would be this confrontation this flare up in tensions given that it comes off the back of existing tensions through the muslim month of ramadan which just reaching their final few days of that month now and that the holiday the muslim holiday of eve but also in the last few weeks or the last few days we've seen some of the worst step violence in tension in jerusalem then there's been fears. yes i mean i and everybody was aware of the extremely heightened atmosphere inside jerusalem the the boiling situation there as those tensions rose throughout the weeks and especially over the last 4 or 5 days the scenes inside the luxor mosque compound on friday and then the demonstrations and skirmishes that we saw throughout the weekend and then on monday were known to israeli jews as jerusalem day when they were set to commemorate the what they call the reunification of jerusalem wha

rival ways that are torn down everybody is saying now is on time for politics we see people like benny gantz he's the head of one of the leading opposition parties he's but he's also the minister of defense he's standing behind attorney now there seem to be united in this effort now so for him politically now is actually somewhat of a quiet front that gives him hope he can still remain state his authority and his leadership soon enough to say that this is a complicated conflict is the on the same and of the courts and we have to leave as a result of thank you very much. well the conflict in the middle east has brought people on to the streets in cities worldwide to protest against the violence here in germany thousands have marched in support of the palestinians. campaigners around the world organized rallies to condemn the violence in the middle east and to commemorate not by the displacement of hundreds of thousands of palestinians when the state of israel was created in 1948 most of saturday's events were peaceful although in berlin police broke up at least one pro palestinian gathering a

benny gantz, the head of the israeli defense force and i will tell you, the israelis even as we showhat's why they do call, they do give head's up, but there are no winners on either side of this one, and so we've got to hope for real effort at mediation from both sides. >> i'm curious, given your vast experience and perspective on all of this, the presidents r have had good luke to ease these frustrations, how much do you think a u.s. president can even do to help resolve this con flekt? >> this has been the crimea for decades and welcoming both sides to camp david to sign off. we've had flickers of that with jimmy carter. bill clinton made some progress. i think those days are over. the u.s. is focused on moving on to stand in the pacific to try to contain iran and that is working with israel and the arab states and a lot of what you're seeing, alex, is just understandable frustration from the palestinians who have been pushed off center stage. so i would say rather than thinking about this as a shot with the middle east peace process with the u.s. president guiding it, we ought to

can you give us a sense what have the prime minister and defense chief of staff benny gantz will have to say later as our correspondent mark stone was reporting? >> obviously hamas in gaza has crossed a whole series of red lines here. we have to remind the viewers, hamas is a brutal terrorist organization, not just israel says so, so do countries across the world, united states, britain, australia, canada, japan. also arab countries in the gulf, all consider hamas a terrorist organization. they are indiscriminating rocketing israel's urban centers, tel aviv, jerusalem. at the same time they are enslaving gaza's arab population, turning them into human shields. hamas is a tragedy for israel but also very much for the people of gaza and palestinians as a whole. >> ambassador, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me, sir. >>> brand-new footage just coming into our newsroom, it is out of gaza city, showing a tower collapsing after being hit by an israeli air strike according to witnesses. it is a troubling scene. we'll continue to follow that story as well. >>> the two

of minutes to hear a statement from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu the defense minister benny gantz and the chief of the army chief harvey they are due to speak from the military h.q. in tel aviv as a so in the next couple of minutes we've already had the security cabinet meeting earlier on sunday and that was reported on the way in from a number of serious israeli journalists as potentially discussing the idea of approaching a cease fire they broke up that recently and then there were widespread reports that no in fact there's been no discussion whatsoever of a ceasefire during that security cabinet meeting that there had been instead an agreement to carry on with the military plans as they stood unless there was an intervention and a different decision from the prime minister or the defense minister. that's the political aspect to harry what about the wider situation within israel because the insecure mean or violence that's broken out in communities between israelis has been quite a concern has it not of the been any developments there. and you mentioned you are . just hearing ri

saying that it is trying to intervene and bring it to an end and to that end the defense minister benny gantz says that 10 reserve groups of the border patrol the sort of paramilitary border police they are being sent into central israel and other towns where this has been taking place for now he's saying that the at the israeli army that it will not be involved in what he calls still a policing matter al jazeera is harry forces reporting live from southern israel area for the moment many thanks. as the s. strikes continue said true does violence among palestinian israelis and jewish residents as you heard from harry that it's on a scale not seen in decades the tactics of israeli police also being called into question laura but natalie reports. was the was it was a chance of death to our obsessed anger and hate has spilled out into the streets in the coastal city of. palestinian israelis and jewish israelis living in close proximity turning on each other. the among many violent incidents on wednesday a palestinian man was tried from this car by dozens of jewish israelis who continued to beat

and the defense minister benny gantz has pulled up more than $5000.00 troops and suspended a large military exercise that if it was going to happen it was going to be the largest in 30 years so we are definitely or probably at least as far as many observers here believe having 2 words an escalation and while things are calming down in occupied east jerusalem things tension is still flaring up in other cities on monday there has been the palestinian israeli man who was shot dead and the latest or at least some of our sources believe that he was shot to by an armed jewish israeli man so we are potentially looking at an escalating situation in israel and of course in gaza and throughout all this what have we heard from the palestinian authority has there been much involvement from them. they've been releasing statements condemning the attacks on the gaza strip and palestinian president said that flags would be flying at half mast to could to mourn the death of palestinians who were killed in the gaza strip is said that all celebrations for at the would be cancelled but as many palestinians in

cabinet right now we do know that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu met with defense minister benny gantz ad the head of the i.d.f. . today to sort of hash out what they may do next now we do need to stress that these present potential preparation. for monsters continues. with these rockets like we've seen over the last few days now we're seeing out. military equipment arriving here on the border as well as these out thousands of reserve troops i've got some friends in that region now it's. not very far north from where we are now and they've basically been staying in their rocket shelters for the law school days they were under instruction from the i.d.f. actually not to leave the shelters so lebanese people actually spend the night spend all day in the shelters we've been speaking to a few people who say that they're even sure to have a shower when these rocket alerts are in snow off in the southern community you see any sales people have something like 10 to 15. actually get to shelter now as i said a little early out we've been you know we're not quite a big side by side area and the

israeli police the israeli shin bet the internal security service and indeed the defense minister benny gantz according to that reporting seem to be agreed on the idea that allowing it to take place would it in its traditional form would almost certainly lead to violence so there are barriers up there preventing direct access down to damascus gate and the area here for now we've also heard reports of other barriers being erected in other parts of jerusalem so without any official announcement yet it does seem quietly that they are trying to divert this march away from the most obvious flashpoints however as you say it still is going ahead and it's worth mentioning as well that we've already seen one very direct confrontation between an israeli jew and palestinians just outside the walls of the old city he was driving a car from the video that we could see he appeared to be put under attack by stone throwing youths in the. the car then veered very violently knocking over a palestinian if either that jewish settler or that jewish man or the palestinian suffer the fate fatality fatal injury in t

those 29 people were killed among them children not at the same time the israeli defense minister benny gantz has stated that there is a state of emergency now depleted particularly in a 50 mile radius of the gaza strip and this is as the security establishment here in israel meet to try and grace and assess the situation so certainly things far from calming down we've also heard from islamic jihad which is another palestinian group that they will be responding with in the coming hour was in what they say is an appropriate response to the violence that we've been witnessing here into the city and now if it happens as international condemnation against israel increases they was urging that meeting of the united nations to take it on so behind closed doors at the same time amnesty international has issued a comment in which it says its own people on the ground have seen to quote excessive force used by the israeli forces and at the same time we've heard from uni safe that in the last 3 days 43 children have been injured now there are signs that the 5 incidents separating the bear as we insist o

you well earlier on we're hearing from these very promising benjamin netanyahu speaking alongside benny gantz and he was saying that that the militants in the gaza strip will pay a very heavy price this of course after we've seen an escalation in asked reich's and rocket fire hamas just hamas and the islamic jihad will pay a heavy price for their aggressiveness the blood is on their hands we're standing united against he said to me and we pray for the safety of those who got hurt and stand behind he's ready to fight its forces and security forces. well let's go live now to harry false it is in southern israel near gaza and how the indication from netanyahu was that we could see a protracted campaign he vowed to crack down on those inside gaza militants he said what signs of you seen of this on the border. well i mean we've been hearing the israeli airstrikes going over i mean not of course in the same way that software has but we heard the planes and that the crunch is coming from gaza which is about 5 kilometers behind us we've also seen those very heavy rocket barrages coming out of gars or

turn and so you saw the response coming from benjamin netanyahu alongside him the defense minister benny gantz and alongside him the internal security services service cheap. as well standing together in saying that that israel would continue what benjamin netanyahu is saying will be an operation lasting for some time and as you say yes there were a considerable number of tractor vehicles tanks armored personnel carriers that we saw being driven past our position here some 5 kilometers away from the northern edge of gaza that does happen pretty regularly when there are these sorts of escalations but this isn't the normal sort of escalation that we've seen in recent years and so once again whether it be a show of force or prepping for something larger there has been military maneuvering in the on the ground here just north of gaza and how are you what about palestinian israeli towns in israel like a lot because we've also seen disturbances there with the prospect of of worrying into communal violence on the streets. it is extremely concerning for the residents of those towns and indeed for the

lorries are armored personnel carriers and tanks so the prime minister netanyahu the defense minister benny gantz coming out in the aftermath of that pretty enormous barrel of rockets hitting central israel and televisa of talking about a high price still to come for the the fighters inside gaza palace in islamic jihad and of course hamas and there's another explosion a distance and this is we're seeing here that there are more movements on the ground our coverage will continue at the top of the next hour from that at $2300.00 g. in about 25 minutes time inside story is coming up next. how concerned should we really about raising food prices or is this entirely down to the pandemic we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world we live in a prime minister designate an adult. has the task of fixing a war torn economy counting the cost on al-jazeera. tension is running high in occupied east jerusalem after israel. during. many palestinians were forced from their homes and dozens killed in israeli strikes on gaza as palestinian anger grows could we see the uprising thi

border forces usually deployed in the occupied west bank into lord and now the defense minister benny gantz is also ordering that they be deployed in 3 other jewish arab towns ramle acre and haifa and indeed the prime minister himself benjamin netanyahu has been to this morning to assess the situation there as for the continued israeli side of this really relentless operation the. defense minister gantz also said that there was no end date that was in sight for it at this moment so it seems there is. we'll on the israeli side for this to continue and harry we've heard from the united nations and other members from the international community do you get a sense at all that any pressure is being put on israeli leaders to try and end this escalation. there is certainly pressure being applied the question is whether it will be forceful enough and indeed whether it will be listen to the british government through a same from the prime minister boris johnson has appealed for there to be deescalation on the homicide and the israeli side there are have been efforts underway from egypt to to try to

benny gantz, the defence minister, says, "the army will continue to attack, buildings "will continue " your prime minister says, "this isjust the beginning. "we're going to hit them with strikes "they have never dreamed of." where's the intent for a ceasefire there? i didn't say anything about ceasefire. i was speaking about a sustainable solution for our population, for the people of israel. the people of israel deserve to live in peace, to go to work, to go to school without having this fearing of the fact that rockets will be in the streets again. so i think what the government wants is to make sure that the capabilities of hamas will be harmed. and we're doing everything in our power to, you know, to minimise casualties, but we are doing everything in our power also to hurt the leadership, the military leadership of hamas, this jihadi terror organisation. as we speak, more than 80 palestinians have been killed, including 17 under 18,17 children. you tell me that, "we're doing everything in our power "to avoid civilian casualties." patently, that is not working, so you need to cha

and the israeli defence minister, benny gantz, said today that without a real lasting diplomatic solutionend of one conflict before the start of the next. everyone has seen this movie before so the egyptian mediators who brokered the ceasefire. remember egypt is the only country that talks to both israel and hamas and is involved in the diplomacy. they were in the gaza strip yesterday, today they were in ramallah talking to palestinian authority. you have the us secretary of state, antony blinken coming to israel and to the palestinian authority on wednesday and thursday of next week, so there is a great flurry of diplomatic activity. everyone is trying to make this ceasefire more durable. mount nyiragongo in eastern democratic republic of congo, one of the world's most active volcanoes, erupted on saturday, sending panicked residents of the nearby city of goma fleeing, although a volcanologist said the city did not appear to be in danger. dario tedesco, a volcanologist based in goma said that the lava appears to be flowing east in the direction of rwanda. drc�*s government spokensman say

we just got a very short statement here from benny gantz, israel's defense minister. he says israel's security forces have achieved unprecedented military achievements in the last 11 days in their strength, accuracy, strategic significance in the fight against terrorist organizations in the gaza strip. he goes on to say the defense establishment continues its readiness to protect israeli citizens of the security forces and idf are deployed in the field in all formations in various sectors in defense and in attack. 15 minutes ago, sirens were going off close to gaza. we could hear impacts in the distance. this is all dependent on haums' weapons falling silent before 2:00 a.m. local, three hours from now. if they don't, israel is indicating this is on again. they will strike hamas back. >> nic, what can you tell us about reaction on the ground to this news? >> reporter: you know, jake, two hours ago sirens went off. we went into the bomb shelter of this hotel. i'm giving you that background because in there i spoke to a lady live on cnn and asked her what she thought ab

israel's defense minister benny gantz has also said more actions are planned. their point plans to respond saying they will target tel aviv. during the day they targeted tel aviv with multiple rocket strikes. most of those rockets taken down by iron dome defensive missiles. however, a couple of rockets did get through. a 50-year-old izrilly man killed when one of those rockets came down in a residential neighborhood. going into the night in gaza concerns there that there could be an increased tit for tat because of this particular attack on the journalist building. certainly going into the rest of the weekend concerns that diplomacy is not going as a significant enough pace despite president biden's increasing his involvement, speaking to palestinian authority abas as well, the pace of diplomacy not picking mup. the door seem to be open to prime minister netanyahu and the israeli government to continue their strikes against hamas with the prime minister noting support from the united states to be able to retaliate to attacks coming from gaza. >> and as nic just

netanyahu has the support of benny gantz, currently minister of defense. israelis are putting on a unified front right now. i think it's impossible to say right now, victor, alisyn, which way these coalition negotiations are going to go. usually, and we've seen four of these israeli/hamas confrontations. 2008-on the, 2012, 2014 and now this. usually they end because the israelis cannot and do not want to sustain a situation where the major airport remains closed because of the fear of rocket attacks or their citizens in shelters. and hamas cannot withstand for a prolonged period of time the kind of destruction that is going to make residents of gaza, however proud they may be of hamas' defense of, quote/unquote, jerusalem in this latest round. i suspect this one will end. i don't think it's going to go on for seven, eight weeks, but right now how it's going to end is very out there. >> as you point out, the international airport is closed because of the threat of incoming rocket fire. it's 15 kilometers from tel aviv. this is just coming in from the white

benny gantz told the prime minister of israel that no person, no neighborhood is immune and that [discernibleything in gaza is damaged. israel is turning gaza into a wasteland. making it difficult for ambulances to reach palestinians injured and even makes it difficult for injured people to try to get to the hospital. everything in the gaza strip is a real catastrophe. we are very much afraid and living in constant anxiety and fear. also fear for our loved ones. our children are asking, why is this happening? why aren't we able to sleep? we have not been able to sleep for 10 days now. [indiscernible] while people around the world enjoy -- we in the gaza strip have to fight. what is happening in gaza is not happening in a gazan particular but also taking place all over palestine and the west bank and jerusalem, gaza strip, and other territories. in moment of national unity -- against one enemy. this is not the first time something like this happen and at the gaza strip. it brings back memories of the israelis in 2008, 2012, and 2014. many have lifelong disabilities. in 28 -- we are just trying

what we've heard from benny gantz, the defense minister here, is that unprecedented achievements have been achieved by the israel defense force. he has this warning for hamas, which is saying that they will, his words exactly, the ground reality will determine the continuing of operations. it's a warning for hamas that if they step over the line, if they start firing a lot of rockets after that 2:00 a.m. deadline, then the israeli defense force could start up operations again. we've also heard that sirens were going off close to the border with gaza about 30 minutes ago, also about 20 minutes ago we were hearing very cloud explosions. where we stand, wolf, it seems that the cease fire has yet to come into effect, but a clear warning from the defense minister for hamas to abide by it when it does. >> what you're saying is it's supposed to go into full effect in less than han hour, is that right? >> right at the top of the next hour. this was the cease fire as detailed and hammered out by the egyptian authorities. the precis■le dietails of it, w don't know. >> stand by. the president is

headed, we heard just in the past 20 minutes from israel's prime minister and the defense minister, benny gantz, they made it clear that israel will act decisively against hamas who is the sole organization behind the rocket fire. israel holds hamas responsible. they say this is just the beginning of what is turning into a very large round of conflict in the region. more than 500 rockets fired in to southern israel. we have updated numbers from the palestinian health ministry who say that 30 people have been killed in israeli retaliation strikes. inside israel, three people are dead from rocket fire. lots of injuries. really israel is bracing for what the night will bring. there's been a red line drawn and crossed on each side of this conflict. the latest red line has to do with towers and infrastructure inside gaza. factions threatening more rocket fired towards tel aviv if israel decides to take out the large buildings. we know according to palestinian media, they're warning people inside these tall buildings some of which hold military infrastructure to get out. this is an indication that sh
