he was ripped out of gaza by nbc, and there was an uproar against it. >> he was pulled out of gaza becausee was viewed as showing sympathy. >> that's where the turning point in the media was. social media protested. msnbc was forced to bring him back. >> shows you a fragment on how national media is dealing with this issue. >> it's a wonderful story because he was put back in gaza after this protest. we didn't see him on nbc nightly news very often be. but he was on social media all the time. he was sweeti tweeting. he was sending out instagrams, stories that were just so compelling, for americans who sympathize with palestinians, the return of him was a small victory. what happened to jabril the next day was a set back, a paid contributor on nbc's 24 hour outlet, msnbc which is considered liberal in the u.s., he dared to criticize the channel and other u.s. media for a pro-israel bias. >> in the media, ridiculous. we are disgustingly biased when it comes to this issue. >> she said she is no longer welcome on msnbc's air. the question that she says she has of her bosses on her way out the

he'll see a gaza different to a gaza he saw in 2009. keep in mind mr ban was last here in 2009 after the officers described as occupation last led lasting from swathe and 2009. it was a bad conflict. nothing in comparison to a recent conflict in june or july, in august, a 7-week period in which 2,200 palestinians were killed, in which 100,000 people lost their homes. the situation in gaza is perhaps the worst it's been. that is what the u.n. secretary-general will be witnessing when he comes on tuesday, and what is interesting is what he said in the briefing just now. he said the cycle of what he said endless mindless suffering needs to end. mr ban, before coming to gaza, will meet with the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu, and, of course, will be raising these issues, an issue that he said time and again, that this cycle of violence here in gaza, which has taken place since 2006, since hamas has taken obvious, the gaza strip needs to end. there has been three conflicts and it's the gazans who suffer. the people who live in the

particularly after the kata strofy in gaza strip, and particularly after the destruction of the gaza strip infrastructure and institutions and buildings and even its inhabitants. this necessitates efforts to reconstruct the gaza strip, and to restore the lives of the palestinians and the dignity in the strip. your excellency, your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, i wished we were not in need to hold this conference for the second time, but the peace treaty, according to oslo, sends 20 years ago were not a success. or theirar ab -- their arab piece initiative was not respected. or the two-state solution is not done, despite efforts of the tripartite and the efforts of the u.s. administration, and the international community as well. because, the israeli occupation, until now, is still having the plans to occupy more and more of the palestinian territories. let me say that the israeli aggression, and the destruction, and the crisis, and the disasters in gaza strip can not be tolerated and cannot go like this without accountability. despite that, we will continue our effort, and we w

killings in gaza, too.amas response, and then came operation protective edge, no one that was just completed, and more brutal and destructive than the ones that preceded it. the pattern is very clear. so far, at least, it appears to be continuing. the latest cease-fire was reached on august 26. it was followed at once by israel's greatest land grab in inyears, almost 1000 acres what is called greater jerusalem, five times the size of anything jerusalem ever was, taken over by israel, and next in violation of security -- and annexed in violation of security orders. activity undermines american efforts to protect israel at the united nations and urged that israel should not provide ammunition for those of the united nations who would interpret israel's position as hardening." actually, that warning was given 47 years ago in september, 1967, at the time of israel's first colonization -- illegal .olonization the israeli historian recently reminded us of this. little has changed since, in the last 47 years, apar

people in gaza can't leave. in fact, at the rafah border crossing, which is not far from where i'm standing, the crossing with egypt - only 300 people are allowed to cross the crossing every day, and they require a special permit to do so. when you consider the fact that the crossing is along the border is closed, and with egypt, it has badly damaged the economy. although money is urgently needed to reinstruct and rebuild, the reason people want the blockade lifted, want to see the end of the siege is so the economy can grow. so you don't have to go to the international community to meet a basic need. >> thank you very much indeed. >> reporting there from gaza. >> in egypt's capital. dozens of anti-coup protesters are gather. university students supporting outlawed muslim brotherhood. shouting slogans against the army and police. there's heavy security in anticipation of student demonstrations. the ministry of higher education hired a private security cop company to watch in my opinion quusties. >> peter greste,

. >> what dow mean to leave gaza. what we had in gaza, it is another misunderstanding. we had the gazas living in gaza, we were not involved it there. we do not-- we didn't deploy there. they enjoy their autonomy, let's say this way. we had settlers in th the-- isolated, not confiscating palestinian-- actually providing work, 3700 palestinians were employed in the settlement. 4500 palestinian families enjoy the industrial zone. they decided to destroy it. it's another fact which demonstrates their willingness, whether to live together, coexistence, reconciliation, or to fight us. that's another example. now when we-- from the gaza strip, the option, spend the money on the economy, to export, and not to manufacture and export rockets. but they choose the way of rock ets. that's why we have to keep them and to take the security measures. >> rose: so in other words,. >> because it will be certain problems. >> rose: your opinion on the west bank is informed by what you saw happen. >> absolutely. and what i saw in the west

it's estimated rebuilding gaza could cost up to $6 billion. gaza has been shunned by investors, scared off or scared about dealing with hamas, an organization the u.s. and others describe as terrorists. there's no sign israel is willing to lift its blockade. getting the materials in to begin rebuilding businesses like this, and giving gaza's economy a chance seems as remote as ever. >> reporter: so let's speak about the rafah crossing in the gaza strip. palestinians are hoping to raise $4 billion from donors. given the conflict has not been resolved, the nervousness, the wariness of donor nations, is that a tad optimistic? >> well, i think what we understand is that 1.5 billion will likely be raised in the first meeting, and that's perhaps why, as the palestinian delegation goes into the conference in cairo, they were describing it has a plan. broadly speaking, of 34 ministers around the world that are going to attend the commence, they understand that this is a long-term construction project. it will not be easy to rebuild the 15,000 homes th

seven week bombardment of the gaza strip.ll of course be meeting with various members of the unity government here, with members of the u.n. which are based here as well. but this isn't the first time banki moon has come to gaza, the last time he was here was this 2009, he came following what was described by israel as operation cat led, that conflict was a very serious conflict, hundreds were killed in that and now he is coming back again after yet another conflict, this time a much more serious conflict as we have been saying nearly 2200 people were killed in that war. and it is perhaps why mr. ban used such strong language in the press briefing we heard from him saying the endless, mindless suffering of the people of gaza needs to end. and he went on to say that all sides need to work harder so that a two-state solution is effectively agreed. and the words he used was that both sides needed to act immediately for that. >> and as with all reconstruction building materials are critical and the u.s. secretary general thinking

what does it mean to leave gaza question -- gaza? we had the gazans living in gaza. we did not deploy there. they enjoy their autonomy. , isolated,lements .ctually providing work 3700 people were employed. 4500 enjoyed the industrial zone. it is another fact which demonstrates the willingness to live together, coexistence. we had the option to spend the or not tohe economy manufacture and export rockets. that is why we have to keep them , to take some security measures. on the west bank is informed by what you saw happen. >> absolutely. in other cities in the west bank -- just when we moved the defense operation, we enjoyed the freedom operation because of our activities. >> what could change of mind so that you would be supportive of a palestinian state along the 67 lines? what could change your mind? reform, looking seeing thatooks, there is no more education for hatred but there is education for peace, like on our side. political leadership according to this change which is needed. and education. trust the start to option. otherwise, we should be cooperating but r

before the markets, and movement of goods and people into gaza and from gaza and connect them. and that should open the road for a final settlement with israel. the israelis and the united states may not look at it from that point. they want to have the negotiation back in track, and without another result. >> a technical question. have you all the money pledged by donors for the reconstruction of gaza. i wonder whether any of that money will end up in the hands of the israeli government. >> definitely. when our experience says that $0.65 of each dollar received from donors, and in west bank and gaza benefits the israeli economy, because we buy most of our products and goods from israel. we are connected to infrastructure networks. electricity and water. we buy those public goods from them, and we also connect to them on different aspects. our trade, finance. and because of this unique and unfair relation with israel, we think $0.65 off each dollar spent or received benefits the economy, and not the palestinian economy. >> good to talk to you, many thanks indeed. >> thank you.

the gaza strip is significant. this is the first time a palestinian prime minister is coming to the gaza strip since 2006, sense hamas seized control of the coastal enclave. to say the relationship between hamas and gaza, since 2007 has been challenging, whatever the case, in june of this year. ministers from both parties were sworn in to form what has been described as a unity government. but, of course, this summer we saw a 50 day conflict in the gaza strip. which claffed the lives of so many people and damaged so many parts of this area. this meeting, the first cabinet meeting of this unity government will take place here in the gaza strip. they'll be meeting at president mahmoud abbas's home in gaza. so many government buildings have been destroyed. what they'll discuss is the lifting of the blockade with gaza, they want to discuss the move of people and reconstruction. not least because on sunday world leaders and international community members will be meeting in cairo for a donors conference to raise the $4

the gaza strip, of course, having been destroyed by israel's assault on gaza during the last conflict in august. he went on to speak about the challenge -- another challenge which u.s. policy is facing in the middle east, and that of the islamic state of iraq and the levant, which have no place in the modern world. he said that the united states was committed to working with every nation to degrade the threat of isil. let's listen in to what he's saying now. >> they've lived side by side, two peoples living in peace. palestinian and israeli. we are as passionate and committed to achieving that goal today as we were on the day the president obama began his term six years ago and when i became secretary of state and began the talks that reconvened. regrettably those talks fell apart frankly over more of an issue of process, the delivery of prisoners and timing and methodology than over the fundamental decisivie issueissu even though there were differences. i haven't talked a great deal about those talks and i don't intend to now, because we want to get back to them. i will summarize it

mean to leave gaza?hat we have in gaza is another misunderstanding. we had the gazans living in gaza. we were not involved there. we did not deploy there. they enjoy their autonomy. we had settlers, isolated, actually providing work. 3700 people were employed. 4500 enjoyed the industrial zone. they decided to destroy it. it is another fact which s the willingness, whether it is to live together, coexistence. we had the option to spend the money on the economy or not to manufacture and export rockets. they choose the way of the rockets. that is why we have to keep them, to take some security measures. >> your opinion on the west bank is informed by what you saw happen. >> absolutely. --t i saw on the west bank in other cities in the west bank which had become to be a homicide bomber launcher. when we moved the defense operation, we enjoyed the freedom of operation. >> what could change of mind so that you would be supportive of a palestinian state along the 67 lines? what could change your mind? >> educat

this device by which you are going to be allowed to import into gaza materials for construction.g you how you're going to ensure that concrete and other such materials does not end up being used to build more tunnels. >> that is not our concern. and i don't think we should build mechanisms to do so. we should build mechanisms to ensure the legitimate needs of gaza are met after seven years of deprivation and collective punishment. everything could be under the pretext of use and we will not go the israeli way of starting from proving anybody innocent because everybody is guilty and everybody is innocent until proven guilty and it would require huge amounts of construction materials including cement and we expect a mechanism with international monitoring that will allow the free flowing of such commodities and will not accept mechanisms of just revisiting israel's collective policies from another door. >> half of the funds being pledged are for this reconstruction effort which is quite clearly in dire need in gaza and the other half is apparently for sort of daily needs, daily nee

people in the gaza strip are now trying to rebuild their lives. little progress has been made so far. pierre is the commissioner general of the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees in the near east. he spoke to nhk world about the challenges the people of gaza are facing. >> reporter: pierre says the responsibilities are building homes and humanitarian assistance. >> we have 120,000 people who are homeless in gaza because homes have been destroyed by the shelling. right now we have 45,000 people in 18 schools, they are not really prepared for housing tens and thousands of people whose homes have been destroyed. but of course, nobody, none of us would want to spend months in a school classroom instead of in one's own home of the winter is coming and so the population is going to face very big difficulties if we cannot change their situation very quickly. >> it's important the people in gaza get prompt access to construction materials. israel allowed shipments for first time last week and the materials could be used by hamas

a cabinet meeting inside of gaza. it's the first since they agreed to a consensus government in may. the president and his cabinet ministers arrived in gaza after traveling through israel. >> we have huge challenges lying ahead, domestic challenges. giving priority to the national interest. this is a government of all palestine and the palestinians. therefore i demand all of the palestinian fictions join the government in the gaza strip and normal way of life. >> he has more from gaza. >> first here in the gaza strip, of course we have this first cabinet meeting of the technocrat unity government. but we also saw for the first time, a palestinian prime minister has visited the gaza strip for the first time since 2007. 2007 of course is when hamas wrestled control, and since then, relations have been extremely tense many but in june of this year, they reformed this unity government. and only a few weeks ago, they decided that the unity government would take control of gaza following israel's 50-day bombardment where so

. -- gaza. >>> and protests forced the president to scrap a plan to extend his 27-year term in office>>> now israel has condemned sweden's move to officially recognize the state of palestine. the decision has been warmly welcomed by the palestinian president. mohamed vall reports. >> reporter: for decades palestinians have argued that the israeli government has tried to deny them of three things, their territory, freedom and government. but now sweden has officially recognized the state of palestine. >> today the government of sweden has decided to recognize the state of palestine. we have decided to do so on the basis of the fact that the criteria of international law are fulfilled. there is a territory, a people, and a government. not to recognize palestine because of the occupation would be against the principal of international law about no fruits of aggression. remember that more than 130 countries already recognize palestine and we will be, in fact, number 135. >> reporter: as pointed out, sweden's decision does not set an international precedent. it is only the 135th country to

so the infrastructure needs here in gaza are huge. as we heard in charles's piece, and you said earlier, one of the biggest challenges is the blockade, is the blockade that egypt - israel but in place for the past several years. i'm here at the rafah border crossing to point out something significant. that egypt plays a part in that blockade. the crossing is nominally open. it's quiet. there's not a lot of people, onward around 300 people are allowed to cross, and goods are not flowing over. until it is sold, an interament is reached on opening the cross. it's not just here in egypt, but around the carbon, allowing in destruction material it will take a long time to cover. many challenges remain, as we have been pointing out world leaders, or the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas called on the world to donate money to gaza to rebuild the strip. >> thank you, from the rafah border crossing >>> the u.s. air force dropped supplies to the iraqi army. government forces pushed back. crossing western iraq and some officials are appealing for

the government says the area is being used to smuggle weapons from gaza, to sinai. hamas, which controls the gaza strip, is accused of lending it's support to fighters in sinai, who were angered by the removal of the egyptian president, mohamed morsi in the egyptian coup last year. the former high commission of human rights has implored egypt and it's forces to respect the rule of law. >> i think that the situation is much worse now in terms of the lawlessness with which egyptian forces are seeking to, in their words, contain the situation. they have to respect the human rights of all people, including migrants, including those populations who are settled there. >> there's already anger at the mass eviction, as well as treatment of the people in the sinai. and they expect to quell the violence. >> it's public humiliation, declaration of war in sinai. they will take revenge sooner or later. rather than sending troops to combat the terrorism, the government is paving the way for the people of sinai to support those terrorists. >> egyptian government officials have pro

which of course would be unacceptable for the people of gaza. this is why we have to have this strong push now. it is an illegal blockade under international law. it is punishing the population in gaza and this is creating long-term instability in the region. let me give you an example. in the year 2000, you had 80,000 people who were receiving food assistance. in 2014, it was 830,000 people. this is because the blockade led to many people losing their jobs. many businesses to close. and therefore, people who were successful business people before started to receive humanitarian assistance. it's a question of dignity, of rights. so the international community has to mobilize also politically to change the paradigm that is now imposing so much suffering on the people of gaza. >> nhk interviewed the commissioner general. >>> japan's supreme court has made its first ever ruling on a maternity harassment case. judges ordered a retrial for a woman who sued a former employer over a demotion during her pregnancy. >> the woman sued the hospital in hiros

since hamas seize control of the gaza strip there have been three conflicts with israel. this last conflict, which lasted seven weeks resulted in the deaths of over 22--around 2,200 palestinians. no one wants to see that kind of violence start again. that is perhaps why we saw such a strong comment from mr. ban. however, he did go on to say that he hoped both sides, both the israelis and palestinians didn't lose hope, as he described it, in the negotiations that have been taking place over the past 20 years since the oslo accord saying that the only way forward--the only way towards peace is through talks. whatever the case the palestinian president mahmood abbas appears to be determined to go ahead with his plan to approach the u.n. security council to put through a resolution which would set a timetable on the end of israel now nearly half century long occupation of palestinian territories. >> print's prime minister david cameron won't take part of in a parliamentary vote whether the government should recognize palestine as a state. it is due for a debate in the next co

>> reporter: i was talking to some people in gaza this morning. people are skeptical about this conference. they say pledges can be made, but to get that, really a change on the ground is going to be difficult. then immediately people need homes. over 100,000 people are homeless. and so that's going to be the initial force of work of this money, is to get these people in some sort of shelter as winter is coming. they're going to need some sort of shelter from that. but also infrastructure, water, electricity, sewage, these things also need to be dealt with as well. and it is going to be a monumental task just getting these goods into gaza. things of concrete and relief supplies, because israel has been hesitant, because they don't want any of these supplies to go toward hamas to rebuild their war effort. so there's going to have to be reassurances from the palestinian authority that these goods will go to where they're supposed to go, reconstruction. >> you mentioned that hesitant israel, israel absent from this conference. how likely is it that i

ian, what exactly is needed for gaza?> reporter: well, george, a lot is needed, and as we heard, the palestinians are requesting $4 billion in aid. the talks are just getting underway. dozens of countries are being attended. this is being hosted by egypt as well as norway. we have the secretary of state there. we also have tony blair and the u.n. -- from the u.n., ban ki-moon. a lot of people there trying to raise the money. the u.n. is saying they need $1.6 billion to rebuild gaza. that will go to the 20,000 homes that have been left uninhabitable leaving over 100,000 homeless. i was talking to people in gaza, they're saying a lot of people are leaving their numbers on the destroyed buildings hoping that when a delegation gets around to seeing whose houses have been destroyed, where that money should go, that they are contacted, too. there's a lot of work to be done to rebuild gaza. a lot of that money to rebuild these homes. >> ian, when we talk about this money, we all remember, we see some of these images of the destr

strip, the gaza strip was effectively in the political wilderness. like the united states viewed hamas in their words as a terrorist organization, now that there's a new unity government in place, made up of independent professionals if you will, it has legitimized the leadership here in gaza, and we can only look to the conference in cairo in which $5.4 billion was raised by dozens of countries from around the world to help reconstruct the gaza strip and aid this new unity government. so a very significant meeting of the u.n. secretary general with the unity government here in gaza. >> yeah, and against yesterday's vote in the british parliament to recognize a palestinian state. we were just talking about a guest about it here. what is the political significance of moon's visit there? >> i think more than anything, there's -- what it feels like here in gaza, and indeed in the palestinian territories is that there is momentum right now. momentum is being built after this awful conflict here in the gaza strip in which nearly 2,200 palestinians were ki

also the imposition of a regime of collective punishment on the whole civilian population of gaza. locking that silly population into the combat zone -- civilian population into the ambat zone during a edge is distinctive atrocity, were women and shopping are not allowed to become refugees and there was no opportunity to be internally displaced person. as horrible as things were for civilians in syria and iraq in recent years, they always had -- the civilian population always could leave the combat zone. here, there are literally locked into the combat zone and only gazanshousands with -- with foreign passports were allowed to leave. that involved 800 people out of over 1.8 million. it is a very extreme situation that is not treated as an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe for geopolitical reasons. the u.s. has a geopolitical veto over what the u.n. can do in relation to a situation of this kind. we react to kobani, as we spoke earlier, but we ignore what is happening day by day in gaza, particularly, but to a lesser extent, in the west bank. talk about the obstacles you face as you

gaza has paid tremendous costs. don't really to have pay the cost because the international community is paying the cost. that encourages people to take risk that's they might not otherwise take. it is known in the financial business as a moral hazard. if gaza is always picked up by the international community after they attack, there is more of a willingness to get into that kind of confrontation. there is more of a willingness in israel to destroy things. and you keep this cycle perpetuat perpetuated. but you don't really get toward the kind of solution to the problem that pre vents you from being into it. really this is only two years after the last confrontation. >> rewarding bad behavior in a way. we're talking about billions of dollars. they're saying it would be fund through the palestinian authority as a way of isolating hamas but hamas is part of a unity government. is that really going to be effective? >> well, it is too early to tell whether it will be effective. and there seem to be a broader alignment i

those killings became the occasion to attack gaza and into a full-scale war of bombardment.as netanyahu claimed the population of gaza will see what happens to it if it continues its support for hamas, we might conclude that the point of the bombardment was to destroy that political party and its apparent hold on majority of gas sans. but then it turned out more sympathy was generated among palestinians in the west bank ever recorded before as a result of the bombardment. so it seemed that netanyahu's aim was foiled but what if the aim, was to claim that all of palestine is potentially is hamas establish the rocket of this-throwing, rocket-firing civilian as the norm? that seemed to be failing. if the point was to establish the palestinian authority in gaza as the dominant partner in any unity government, that also seems to be failing. if the point was to confirm hamas as a terrorist organization, then that was surely called into question by the fact that israeli representatives entererred into negotiations with them in cairo and perhaps begun to treat them perhaps inadverte

israel's assault on gaza resulted in thousands losing their homes. israelis and palestinians need to keep talking to resolve their issues. >> i have been urging continuously that if we do not address. root causes, which have already been identified, which are already on the table for negotiations, then i'm afraid to tell you that this cease-fire cannot be a sustainable one. i'm encouraged that that cease-fire is largely holding, and there is good will shown by international community for the reconstruction of gaza. but first and foremost the parties must sit down together, the underlying issues through dialogue. >> we go to gaza. just bring us up-to-date. what is the latest, what's happening there now? >> reporter: well, it's a very sad situation at the mosque. i can tell you that in the early hours of the morning there was a confrontation between israeli security forces and palestinian demonstrators after a group of what's been described as righ provocation against protesters. israeli security forces used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse the c

the crossing between gaza and egypt is still closed, 10,000 people affected. many are angry as being forcibly removed from their homes. egypt said it will stop attackers from getting into northern eye any. >> we cannot allow the cleansing of the area. it's akin to a humiliation, a declaration of war on the strikes of sinai. the tribes will take ve very long. the government is paving the way for the people of sinai to support terrorists. >> aljazeera continues to demand the immediate release of three journalists detained in egypt for 306 days. the three are falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. aljazeera rejects the charges against them. >> the u.n. human rights chief calls the imprisonment of hour staff a travesty of visits. >> this is a very serious and sad development. egypt has signed up to all the international treaties, has signed up to the covenant on civil and political rights. egypt has an obligation to respect those rights. the office of the high commission official of human rights will continue to call for the release of all det
