gaza. a lot going on in and around the gaza issue. tensions between the palestinian authority and in the movement itself shifts in the gulf involving saudi, uae, possibly impacting the situation in gaza. gaza has been under a blockade for almost a decade now. things have recently gotten worse as the palestinian authority also is reducing salary payments and sort of asking that electricity get in, a lot of issues impacting gaza strip very direly in the situation. part of our discussion today is not only to ask how the international community can help mitigate current suffering, but how do we bring gaza back into regional deliberations into some kind of a political process. and how does one avoid dynamics that some scholars, may be some on the stand are warning could raise the risk of war again after the last war in 2014, which was very, very devastating on the gaza strip, also led to loss of life among israelis. we certainly want to avoid another conflagration of that kind. we're very fortun

or gaza as the broader picture? >> i said to someone recently what does the trump administration think on x and i said anyone who tells you what the trump administration thanks on x is lying to you. i used to say they're lying to themselves, too, but now they're flat out lying. there isn't a single voice. i could say well, i talked to this one person political or actually could be someone political or bureaucratic and i have no idea. i can say that i think we are continuing our current commitment on humanitarian side and that is laudable and is an expenditure of political capital for which this demonstration deserves credit. i will say something to someone who is not a great fan of this administration for a lot of it issues or in general but i will say something to give them some credit which is on this they are not much different on gaza than the obama administration. no one wants to pay attention to gaza. this is a sinkhole for people politically. there are no easy answers available and anything you do is going to

gaza strip. what has resulted is continuing to support and coming down more strongly than it ever had before so i think egypt was aimed as a country that could fall now supportive and coming back into power but the important thing to understand in the policy is that in deciding to further increase the isolation, he voted into the case which is that you can increase pressure on the population of close to 2 million people in order to weaken the political sanction or the running government so that is more reprehensible to achieve the political goal and it can also be weekend several times coming back into the gaza strip, what we have seen are several escalations and it is a reading of the situation as well benefited from the west bank and maintaining the government. so there's a number of factors here. that played into the politics on the palestinian side and maybe a few words about how you see the supporters and so on. we will benefit. they escalated the situation on the ground between israel and g

we don't see gaza flourishing. even the blockade, the early stages of the blockade, the blockade really comes after the coup and hamas takes over the gaza strip. when pa romano was still in charge of the gaza strip, and it led to the kidnapping or capture of an israeli soldier from the israeli territory from a tunnel inside gaza. so in short, the israeli mistrust of hamas intentions is profound. so why can't they find a modus operandi, it's simply because they feel they're emboldening hamas for the second round. it's not completely clear that hamas doesn't speak with the same voice. there have been calls for a long time for a cease fire in israel. but even in 2014 when we saw vary heavy israeli hand in the west bank, contributed dramatically to the war breaking out. we saw both parties not wanting war. n they didn't have effective authority over them militarily. so even then citing a modus operandi is very important. and then the dynamic is very important. hamas has spies across the region, remember, hamas has a bo

awards in gaza. each time there is a car accident in slow motion and everyone acts as if no one has an agency to do anything but watch these cars collide for these cars drive into a wall. i think the title of this event says a lot. is gaza reaching a boiling point? gaza is not a pot of water. it's also not a bond that grows up and needs to be mowed. it's also not a person who is worrying about their weight sold their caloric intake is the question. thanh referenced in my friend tonya talks with me beforehand and i am for everything but returned gaza, meaning all of us by the way, we've turned it into the largest controlled experiments with human beings history testing what is the behavior and breaking points of 2 million people as pressure increases over time. that is a fundamental challenge for all of us in this room and it would be good if we think about it as we resolve it before we say we are about to have another war. i want to start with something that is positive and links to how you open the

sarah: the issue of gender is not only being addressed in gaza.re is uproar at google headquarters in silicon valley. this is really not funny. helena humphrey has the story. helena: indeed it is not. one engineer at the search giant google has been fired after releasing a manifesto against the genderer food -- gender diversity programs. the memo states that biological differences were to blame for the fact there are fewer women in tech jobs and leadership positions. the ceo said in a statement that while he supports freedom of expression, the memo crossed the line in terms of harmful stereotypes. the engigineer behind the documt says he will be pursuing legal action against the silicon valley firm. one thing in that memo was true, though. not many of the tech jobs at silicon valley firms go to women. that's take a look at the numbers now. at google, just 19% of tech posts are occupied by women. ebay has the greatest share among big tech firms. there, 24% of technical jobs, 43% in all positions. but social media platform twitter has a paltry 15% s

. >> the next day david and i separated so that i could go alone into gaza. along with the west bank, gaza is one of the two areas that have been taken by israel in 1967 and has been an occupied territory ever since. >> when i was in gaza david attended an israeli right wing rally in jerusalem. a large movement of religious israelis believe that rather than returning this land, it should be annexed by the state of israel. these people, called settlers, were creating villages in the occupied territories in order to create this reality. the rally was one of many demonstrations held by the settlers to convince the israeli government not to withdraw from the occupied territory. >> you have not seen an earthquake. >> the devastation of an earthquake. all you have to do is go to -- >> the water here is salty. so the government set up desalination plabts. they cannot just get pressure water. looks like somebody's handy candy. in fact, it's their daily routine. there are hundreds of thousands of people who don't want to get out of gaza. they want to keep them in gaza

on this first official visit, today he went to gaza. what kind of a welcome did he get?> initially, hamas was not happy with the u.n. secretary-general because he had expressed, when he was in israel, support for israeli hostages held in gaza without expressing support for palestinian prisoners and they said he was unwelcome. however, today he wasn't addressing the hamas and he issued a list of demands, calling for an end to the blockade on the egyptian and israeli side. that was their list of demands. see u.n. schools, controversial, as you know, during the war, and he went to see other projects in the gaza strip and when he was standing at one of them, he said that this is one of the worst humanitarian crises he has seen and he did call on both sides to do something about sanctions, to lift the blockade, also calling on the palestinians and the west bank to help the gaza strip. that makes they humanitarian crisis for the people worse. guterres is giving a speech today and we haven't heard much from him over the three days of this trip. what do you think you will say to

aid. >> he made his way into one of several schools in gaza.efore addressing the media, he met with students and families, as well as u.n. staff, to get a first-hand glimpse of living conditions in the region. about one million gazans with refugee status depend on humanitarian aid from the united nations. the jobless rate him on young adults is 60%. hundreds of thousands of children attend u.n. run schools. u.n. assistance has been nothing short of a lifeline in gaza, but the secretary-general says the long-term solution is not more backing from the world body, but a resolution of the israeli-palestinian conflict, namely, an independent palestinian state alongside israel. >> i believe the holy land should have two states, israel and palestine, living in peace and harmony together. reporter: the u.n. has provided an additional $4 million in emergency aid to gaza. water and electricity are in short supply. brent: business news now. a quarrel between -- what? >> let me fill you in on the details. air berlin has received state aid but a buyer is st

this is not the case there is a dire humanitarian situation inside gaza as we heard from the un chief and at the same time there were thousands of people who are prevented from exiting gaza to receive much needed medical care on the israeli side there is a twenty year old boy who we caught up with who is suffering from chronic heart disease who for seven months has been refused permission to leave the coastal enclave. my sickness is tightness in the aortic valve it's a chronic disease and a congenital defect the referral procedure is very important because i must leave to have open heart surgery and replace the defective rounds. from february until now we've applied monthly to get his permit he was supposed to have his surgery in february his muscle has to stay strong if it weakens you will be in serious condition he will not be able to have any surgery after that gaza is often referred to by people living there as the largest. prison in the world a place where people are deprived of basic needs. thousands of people have taken to the streets of paris to protest against president emanu

at one wednesday gaza is leaving a huge. durable humanitarian crisis and the only few hours a day electricity. it and no more dream every book rest. they're being thinking is a population of god is being picking. as ostrich parties were a by israel by egypt buys of hamas buys into our intel. region and nobody's doing nothing for it in this case and it's important for him to go there it's important for him. and so you went to do whatever the camp to really free to be the population gaza but don't want politically i don't see which kind of forty can playing. i mean this is a new man in the job i mean he was formerly the head of the u. nh c. out the refugee agency and he certainly didn't make any friends with the israelis when he was doing that. job eva but do you see possibly that they could be a chance that. this man because he's a he's a can do type of person that he is going to give you a f. a owns a portion of the two four fever mendicants out of lebanon which is very important for israel. and their right to ask for. a des

secretary general antonio guterres says he hasn't seen a humanitarian crisis like the one in gaza for years yesterday i was in from our two days out in gaza unfortunately to witness one of the most dramatic humanitarian crises that i have seen the many years working as a humanitarian aid in the united nations. for more on this i'm not joined by artie's paula slip well hi there paul i mean what else did antonio have to say about this. well this is the first time that the u.n. secretary general is visiting this region after taking office back in january and on wednesday he spent several hours in gaza where he says he was deeply moved by what he saw is also a corner on the israeli authorities to lift the siege on the coastal enclave. a mother he's important follow him didn't open the closures in line with that resolution. sixteen eighty of the security council. now the union chief's remarks come as tensions between israel and the united nations by a few days ago the deputy israeli foreign minister said that if the united nations does not address stickley change its behavior it will lose

death sentence for them this is also an israeli responsibility what is going on with the curfew on gaza that is more than a decade already and how it influences the level of the health services that is available within the gaza strip he said i can tell you the interest of fair and fair and balanced we've been in contact with both the israeli defense forces and the foreign ministry for their comments we've not heard anything but yet when we do we'll let you know what they're going to say about it. so much more though from a sorority dot com check of our society for a while back in half an hour the next live update here on our programs continue after this quick break. thank you. i was. i. being. set up here very startled by. the pharmaceutical industry the medical insurance industry and the bankers they are profiting from the american holocaust and the american economy is now so dependent on the revenue from the american dollar cost that it's very difficult to understand how this train of death is these freight train these box cars and death is going to . haunt dogs may not only be tasty

fact is that even if you could draw the boundaries of palestinian state, gaza and some piece of westk it would not be vile, an viable. i think only way ahead, for palestinians who have been the tip of the spear for radical in the region for a long time is having gaza strip go back to egypt. and have some piece of west bank retro seede ceded to jordan. gregg: would egypt or jordan even go along with that. >> they would not be happy about it. that is part of the problem, i think it is easier to imagine some form of jordanian sovereignty on west bank than deal with gaza, problem is that hamasa affiliated with the muslim brotherhood. >> hamas does have a political arm, but mostly they are just terrorists. and they don't agree with abbas who seat of power is in west banky and he i, and he is unpopular at home, and netanyahu, involved in a corruption investigation, the player are not even players. >> on palestinian side, i think that netanyahu his his prevail. one political development in israel that is not well understood in united states is public opinion across political spectrum, has m

two million people in gaza without water without electricity in this horrifying heat nobody cares nobody talks about it palestinian children and youth being shot almost daily by israeli soldiers nobody says a word it's nothing during the weekly protest in the west bank the soldiers are shooting people they're firing tear gas rockets into families homes you know children being targeted it's nothing it's normal nobody nobody bothers to. there's anything wrong with it anymore when i stand up and i talk to you know i face the soldiers i face the officers they look at me like i'm out of my mind why am i even bothering you know this is how things are in this country we invite the israeli ambassador to london only never comes on the show we'll go and respond to those but we didn't that normalisation go into its natural then for the u.k. prime minister theresa may just say. britain should be with this year's hundred year anniversary of the balfour declaration the press is the creation of israel well if she considers colonialism racism apartheid and genocide something to be proud of then yes that

gaza is ation of military siege rather than on the ground troops. there are 650,000 illegal settlers. there's not going to be a two-state solution. whatever one might have thought about 20 years ago, it doesn't matter. too late for that. you're not going to uproot 650,000 settlers from that territory. you're not going to have the possibility of a continuous palestinian state. what else is the option? now, it's an apartheid state. there is one territory ruled i won power. they have virtually no power. to pay the teachers. they don't have strategic power in the region. this does not take into account the disparity of power. you don't take it occupied population with no military control or independence and sit it down across from one of the strongest militaries in the world and the only nuclear power in the region backed by the united states and say now you can negotiate as equals. there is going to have to be a different approach by the united states. then we will see the possibility of real change. guest: i think it's important to stay away from infl

israel launched airstrikes in three different sites in gaza.ael's military said the strikes were a response to a rocket fired into southern israel. a spokesperson for hamas said he was unaware of any rocket attacks and that no palestinian groups had claimed responsibility. the violence followed a warning by the united nations last month, declaring israel's blockade and electricity cuts have made e gaza "unlivable" for its more than 2 million residents. in israel, an idf soldier who was caught on video executing a wounded palestinian man last year began a prison term wednesday after he lost his final appeal contesting his manslaughter conviction. the video shows palestinian abdel fattah al-sharif, who was reportedly a suspect in a stabbing earlier in the day, lying immobilized on the ground in hebron in the israeli-occupied west bank. the video then appears to show israeli sergeant elor azaria firing a single shot into the man's head from a close distance, killing him. azaria was convicted in february and sentenced to 18 months in prison. he'll

the israelis gaza including bernie sanders is actually then we can understand what is in play here in this country it is logically how do you look at the difference between a figure. like hillary clinton and donald trump. well i see see the the hard right and the software as i called it. the crude hard right of the dollar trump and the consistent soft right of the of the neo liberal hillary clinton but is there really much of a difference in terms of policy well there's some differences in terms of the trump forces the social base of the trunk the ministration having some elements that really are concerned with america first of those midsize and large economic interests who's more concerned about the u.s. economy than the global economy so that's a direct contradiction to the trans national agenda that hillary clinton represents so there are some differences what about for let's say oppressed people in particular african-american people or is there a difference the only difference is that we have the more crude expressions of white supremacy under donald trump than we do under hillary
