his doctor explains he is fighting not to become the 11th child killed in that same strike jeremy diamond joins us now from jerusalem the idea that the kids are now playing that exact same spot on the foosball it's just, it's horrific. jeremy to be clear, you've been pressing the idf for answers about the strike for two weeks they still can't locate this specific strike into records this frankly, understand this idea of statement raised more questions than it answered. >> the israeli military says, yes, there was a strike, but that it wasn't at the time that we have provided based on the metadata from the phones, based on eyewitnesses, and they're not aware. they say of anyone being killed. and nowhere in that statement, anderson did they pledged to investigate this to look into a strike that killed ten children. the evidence we've collected is now out there for the world to see. and i certainly hope that these really military will reconsider and investigate this shot head lujain yusuf and the seven other children who were killed in the strike. i think they certainly deserve that minimum.

let's take an hour live to jerusalem with cnn's jeremy diamond at jeremy, how might this ruling potentially impact the operation that's underway in rafah? >> well, bores the international court of justice's ruling is legally binding, but it has no way to actually enforce this ruling. and the israeli governments as of now appears to be casting it aside, showing no signs that this ruling will impact its military operations going forward in rafah's, we have war watch, this israeli military offensive. they're stretching now for nearly three weeks, the israeli national security council on foreign ministry in a statement saying that israel has not carried out and will not carry out military activity in the rafah area that creates living conditions that could lead to the destruction of the palestinian civilian population russia, and that of course, referring to the fact that this ruling is in response to south africa's accusations that israel is committing genocide in gaza, something that israel of course, has strongly rejected. now, this isn't just a symbolic measure, although it is one that cert

cnn, jeremy diamond is in jerusalem. jeremy, i am sure there is backlash. they are from israel. what is the latest? >> no doubt about it across the israeli political spectrum, both the prime minister's allies as well as his adversaries and rivals, all striking out against this decision by the icc to seek arrest warrants for the israeli prime minister as well as the defense minister this morning we're actually hearing for the first time from the israeli defense minister yoav golan, since these warrants were sought by the icc's top prosecutor, and what he's honing in on is two things. first of all, arguing that israel is indeed observing international law in his view, is really forces are and that they are also working to facilitate humanitarian aid get into gaza and he is also calling this parallel between israel and hamas that he believes is being drawn by the icc is seeking warrants for both israel as well as hamas's leaders in the same breath, he is calling that parallel quote, unquote despicable. the israeli prime minister has made very similar comments, including in a video

. >> let's take you now, live with the recent on with cnn's jeremy diamond and jeremy, these talks have installed over several weeks now how likely is it that we'll see some progress well, it's very difficult to tell at this stage, boris, i mean, we have watched these talks start and stop so many times now, so many times where it seems that we were on the precipice of a deal between israel and hamas. >> and then those talks falling apart. again, most recently, just over two weeks ago when there was that egyptian framework on the table which israel had tacitly agreed to. hamas then saying that they had agreed to a framework, but it turned out both of those frameworks were actually very different from one another in the opposite sickles between israel and hamas were not able to be overcome. but last night the israeli war cabinet convening once again this time directing those the israeli negotiating team lead by mossad director david barnea to resume negotiations and to go into those talks with an expanded mandate. it's not clear exactly what has changed in terms of what israel is willing

this has a direct impact on as many as 100,000 people, cnn's jeremy diamond is in jerusalem. jeremy was the latest your hearing from there? elmilitary thousands of leaflets on eastern raffa, ordering an area we're about 100,000e currently living to begin evacuating north to what the israeli military is describing as an expanded humanitarian area, where they say they've set up additional tense and brought in additional while access to food, water, and field hospitals for the population that is leaving. but this morning, people began to flee. refer as a result of those evacuation orders. and certainly there is enormous fear and anxiety among the population, not only those in that very evacuation zone in eastern raffa, but in that at city more widely, a city where more than 1 million palestinians are currently living and make no mistake while the israeli military is describing this as a quote, limited scale operation. this is certainly setting the stage for a major israeli ground offensive into rafah. we had expected that this evacuations, this grounded offensive would not happen

yet the israeli military still hasn't taken responsibility for the attack jeremy diamond has more on what cnn has learned and we just want to warn you, is report does contain distressing images this grainy home video is the closest mona owdetallah will ever get to seeing her ten year-old daughter a stack of school certificates a wardrobe of her favorite clothes the perfume she used to wear all that remains of the daughter, mona poured everything into there is no shahed now, every time she came in, she said, mom, i would say my soul my soul. >> my soul is gone through shahed's was one of ten children killed when an israeli airstrike hit the crowded street and the almohads, you refugee camp where she was playing with her friends her pink pants, impossible to miss among the small bodies splayed around the foosball table in the chaotic aftermath two weeks later, the israeli military still won't take responsibility for the strike that killed her cnn provided the idf with the coordinates and time of the attack based on metadata from two different phones in the immediate aftermath the idf s

. >> let's get right to cnn's jeremy diamond in jerusalem this morning. this has been a report that people have been waiting on jeremie yeah no doubt about it, john. and interestingly, it seems that it will stop short according to barak ravid of outright saying that israel has violated international humanitarian law, but it will nonetheless be a very critical reported seems outlining several incidents that took place in during the war in gaza that raised serious it's concerns about potential violations of humanitarian law. and i expect john that this will simply add another layer to the tensions that we have been witnessing between the united states and israel over the course of the last week when you think about the number of issues that have currently come up that have caused tensions not only between the two countries, the two administrations, but directly between president biden and prime minister netanyahu, we really are at a seemingly low point in relations between the united states and israel, despite the fact that the united states continues to giv

and neu announced they will formally recognize palestinian statehood later this month, cnn's jeremy diamond joins us now from jerusalem, jeremy, how significant is this? how are the israelis responding? >> well, certainly jen, this is a move that's going to have a lot more symbolic power than actually changing any realities on the ground. but it is one that is drawing outrage from top israeli officials and one that could result in consequences for the palestinian authority. and that's because these really foreign minister today, not only did he recalls israel's ambassadors to those three countries he also summoned the ambassadors of those countries who are here in israel two for a formal reprimand, one during which he plans on showing them footage from october 7 and he is vowing serious consequences. we are getting a taste of what those consequences may be from the israeli finance minister bezalel smotrich, a far-right member of netanyahu's governing coalition and he is vowing harsh punitive measures for the palestinian authority in response for this move by these three countries to recogni

jeremy diamond, cnn jerusalem with the united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly approved athe security council to reconsider palestinian membership the voigt was 143 to nine with 25 countries abstaining the measure also grants the palestinian authority new rights and privileges at the un they won't have a vote, but they will be able to submit and introduce proposals and amendments all our flag flies high and proud in palestine and across the globe and on the campus of columbia university it has become a symbol raised my, all those who believe in freedom. and is just ruled by all those who can no longer stand idly by in the face of such utter injustice before the via the us vowed to again vaso any bids palestinian statehood that is brought to the security council ukraine's president says russian advances have been stopped for now after moscow launched a new ground offensive in the kharkiv region, that's in northern ukraine as opposed to the east and the south where most of the recent fighting has been happening. >> ukrainian sources say russian troops swept across the border

are jeremy diamond is standing by now with more on this jeremy, can you we've been we've been just digging into the politics on the ground in israel around this, this, of course, going to probably land there like an earthquake. what are you learning in hearing from officials there? >> well, we've reached out, to for reaction obviously to the prime minister's office as well as the defense minister's office. since these are the two individuals on the israeli sayyed who the icc is seeking arrest warrants four so far, no reaction, but there's no question that this will indeed prompt significant reaction inside of israel. well and i suspect that it will also prompt quite a bit of defiance from the israeli prime minister himself. we got a taste at the end of last month as there were rumors circulating that the icc might indeed issue or seek arrest warrants against top israeli leaders. we got a taste of what the israeli prime minister's reaction would be when he preempted effectively play this move saying that a decision by the icc to issue arrest warrants for israeli political officials or milit

let's start with cnn's jeremy diamond in jerusalem. jeremy reaction from israel and the us has been strong in swift following these three countries recognizing a palestinian state no doubt about it. >> jake and israel taking actual steps in in response to these three countries recognizing a palestinian state. these really foreign minister today recalling israel's ambassadors to those three countries and also bringing in those countries ambassadors just to israel for a formal reprimand. and also where he said he planned to show them the video of women being taken hostage on october 7, as you said, these really prime minister said that this would be a reward for terror and he's also making clear that he opposes the establishment of a palestinian state, saying that a palestinian state today would be a terrorist state, which he said he believes will attempt to perpetrate the october 7 massacre. again and again now, as for the the united states, they are rejecting that notion of unilateral recognition of a palestinian state, but also reaffir

cnn's jeremy diamond is live force in jerusalem. jeremy, what are we learning about the strike? >> well bores, this is not the first time that we have seen dozens of civilians killed and injured in a single israeli airstrike. it is, however, the first time that we are watching the israeli government go into full damage control mode with the israeli prime minister acknowledging that this was a quote, unquote, tragic jake accident, the israeli military's top lawyer, launching a formal investigation into the matter, even acknowledging that this strike according to the israeli military, they did not believe in an assessment that they carried out before the strike that. it would cause any civilian casualties whatsoever. and i think this speaks these really gotten government will argue that this speaks to the uniqueness of this strength. this being an accident versus others that were proportional strikes in their view. but i think this speaks more to the moments that we are in where israel is increasingly isolated on the world stage facing growing condemnation from the united states a

. >> let's get perspective from jerusalem and out with cnn's jeremy diamond, who's lived there for us, jeremy, it's notable that some of the details coming out of this deal are coming from the us president and not prime minister netanyahu. what do you make of how this will be received? >> well, i think the very fact that president biden is coming out and laying out in more detail than he ever has a proposal that is actually on the table well, here is notable in and of itself, and it tells you the fact that american officials clearly believe that there needs to be enormous public pressure brought right now, not only on the israeli leadership, which he talked about and talking about israeli please, this is a good deal and talking about the way in which this can set up a long-term path to security for the israeli people. >> but he also focused on the people who are out protesting in the streets around the world calling for a ceasefire. >> and he urged it's them to now turn their attention to pressure hamas to accept this deal. and so he was clearly trying to pressure both parties at the

cnn's jeremy diamond is in jerusalem for us. remy, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, after this ruling came out, he held a call with his cabinet. this court has no way of enforcing this vision. so howard, israeli officials responding well, israeli officials are effectively dismissing this ruling, but they are also saying that they don't believe that they've been taking the actions and rafah that the court is objecting to the israeli ministry of foreign affairs says that israel has not carried out and will not carry he out, acts in rafah that could lead to the destruction of the palestinian people effectively arguing that the court's order in this case ordering a halt to this offensive is moot. >> that is very much not how the court appears to see things, however, as they repeatedly brought up the warnings from humanitarian aid officials for months now about the impact that this israeli really military offensive in rafah could have. and the one that it is indeed having right now. so there's no expectation that this wi

cnn's jeremy diamond is live for us in jerusalem, israel jeremy, tell us more about this. us made bomb and what is what israel and the government of israel says it was intended for? >> well, jake, we had four munitions experts look at footage of the remnants of one of these munitions that was on the ground at the scene of this strike. and all four of them said that this is consistent with a gbu-39 small-diameter bomb. this is a us made munition and we should also note that the payload that it carries is consistent with what the israeli military has said they drop, they said that they dropped two munitions carrying about a 37 pound warhead. each. this type of bomb is actually designed to try and limit civilian casualties, but experts said that there are obviously risks heightened in terms of civilian casualties when they are dropped on densely populated areas. and indeed in this case, these really military drops, these weapons on to container like structures that were immediately adjacent to other container like structures with very thin walls were displaced. palestinians w

let's bring in cnn's jeremy diamond, these joining us live from jerusalem right now, jeremy, tell usore about what this analysis shows well, well, if we had four munitions experts look at footage from the scene that shows the remnants of the munitions that we're use in this deadly strike sunday night and all for munitions experts agree that these are the remnants of a gbu-39 small-diameter bomb. >> this is a us menu factored bomb. and interestingly, wolf, this is a bomb that is carries a relatively small payload, about 37 pounds, which is consistent with what the israeli military described these two munitions as carrying a when they launched this attack, this is a bomb that's actually typically used to try and minimize civilian casualties. but as these experts noted, when it's used in a very densely populated area like this camp for displaced persons that obviously raises the risk of more civilians dying meanwhile, jeremy, israel seems to be expanding its military operations in rafah, right? yeah, that's right. well, if we have witnessed israeli tanks now rolling all across rafah, tw

the heels of israel confirming that its troops are now in central rafah in southern gaza cnn's jeremy diamonds joining us live now from jerusalem and jeremy, moments after the president's speech israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu insisted that israel is not going to end the war until hamas is defeated. give us the latest yeah, it's incredibly notable because one of the things that was most, most interesting about what press as biden laid out in terms of this latest israeli proposal is the fact that it does call for in a phase to a permanent cessation of hostilities, a permanent ceasefire, one that would have to be negotiated in the first phase of this agreement. but nonetheless, to have the israelis actually put that in a proposal is notable in and of itself so it was equally notable when the israeli prime minister less than an hour after president biden gave this speech, his office put out a statement saying that israel will not agree to an end to the war until all of the goals of the war are achieved. and that is to say not only the return of the hostages, but also the destruction an

cnn's jeremy diamond is joining us live from jerusalem right now. jeremy, what can you tell us about this new footage? >> well, well, if this footage was filmed by hamas on october 7, at this nahal owes base where seven women were based, seven of whom were taken hostage by hamas. five of whom we understand today are likely alive and still it's being held hostage by hamas in this footage of which we're just showing you still images for now of this video you can see several of these young women all 18, 19 year-old israeli soldiers. they are bloodied, their hands are bound, they are being lined up against a wall. you can hear some of the hamas-run militants in the video shouting at them. some of the young women trying to understand the situation, trying to show these militants that they are people. one of the young women, naama levy, and it says, i have friends in palestine the young woman next to her leary, our bag asks for someone who can speak english and you can just see the fear on the faces of these women as they are being taken into captivity by

. >> so cnn's jeremy diamond has been following the story line from jerusalem for us, jeremy, israel is obviously condemning this move. what more can you tell us about the reaction there yeah the israeli government not only condemning this move, but also taking the diplomatic step of recalling it's ambassadors to spain, ireland, and norway, the israeli foreign minister also summoning the those countries ambassadors to israel, to the foreign ministry for a formal reprimand saying, even then he would make them watch a video of israeli women being kidnapped on october 7, the israeli prime minister for his part saying that recognizing and palestinian state is tantamount to offering a reward for terror. >> and he's also making clear that he opposes the establishment of a palestinian state altogether, saying that he believes a palestinian state published today would be a quote, unquote, terror state something that obviously the palestinian authority and the countries that recognize the state of palestine today, very much disagree with. that's also a view very much at odds with the united s

celebration despite the fact that the goal has not yet been formally agreed to by israel, cnn's jeremy diamonds falling all of this from jerusalem for us, cnns empty lias at the white house. jeremie for weeks us and israeli officials have said the ball was inflammasome. court. is it fair to say now that the balls and israel's court well, to a certain extent that's certainly seems to be the case, and that's definitely the impression that hamas wants to lend to all of this as they came out with this very bold statement saying that they had agreed to a ceasefire proposal, although at the time, jake it wasn't yet clear exactly what proposal they were talking about. >> we know that there's been a proposal on the table for over a week now, an egyptian framework which israel helped craft although israeli officials have said they did not agree to every elements in that, but it did include significant in israeli concessions but my colleague alex marquardt and now are now learning that is that this proposal that hamas agree to is actually a different proposal than the one that israel helped craft with eg

cnn's jeremy diamond is falling when all of this from jerusalem scene, mj lee is at the white house, jeremie, israel's that they're going to send a delegation to the peace talks, despite the differences that remain with this deal, does that signal a jeremie at least some willingness to negotiate on israel's part yeah that's right, jake the israeli prime minister's office has saying tonight that this latest proposal by hamas is far from reaching israel's necessary requirements, but they are committing at the same time to sending a delegation to either doha, qatar, or to cairo, egypt to person sue negotiations with the mediators involved. >> but what is also clear is that the statement from hamas earlier this evening that suggested that it had agreed to a new to this proposal that puzzle is not the same one that israel had weighed in on just a little bit over a week ago, the egyptian framework that israel had helped craft instead, a senior israeli, an a senior american official are telling me and my colleague, alex marquardt that hamas actually agreed to a different proposal, one that d

developments, right now in the middle east where hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal see you in as jeremy diamond is gathering details for us to jerusalem, cnn's mj lee has reaction from the white house, jeremie, let me go to you first. you're learning that the proposal hamas excepted is different than the one israel helped craft. what can you tell us? >> yeah, that's right, wolf, when hamas came out with its statement a few hours ago saying that it has had accepted a ceasefire proposal. it wasn't clear to us exactly which proposal that was whether or not it was the egyptian framework which israel helped craft and had significant input in, or was it a different proposal? and i've now learned according to a senior israeli source and a senior us official who also spoke with my colleague, alex marquardt that hamas agreed to a framework that is different from the egyptian framework, which israel had helped craft according to that american official, this latest proposal that hamas agreed to calls for a permanent since end to the war, a stop in the fighting altogether, which of course has been a red li

i urge all your view is to go and watch your colleague, jeremy diamonds report on ten kids killed in the alma ghazi refugee camp last month. these really said we have nothing to do with it. and yet jeremie interviewing three munitions experts who looked at the evidence said, yeah, israel killed those ten kids. so when we talk about deception we're learning from the masters here. >> lieutenant colonel, the hostage families are urging the government at this 0.2 come forward and release the hostages as part of some kind of deal one of the things that the families have sad is that they feel like they are being abandoned how do you respond to that given that there are opportunities, it seems to take a deal that would stop the fighting in exchange for getting their loved ones lieutenant colonel, i'm not sure you could hear me. can you hear me now i think, we're going to try to get him back, but many i do want to get back to one other aspect of this, which is from israel's perspective, they want to make sure that hamas is not in a position to ever attack them. again. i think you would agree

cnn's jeremy diamond has more on the attack on the fiery aftermath and we should warn you some of the images in his report are disturbing. and griffin their blood curling screams tell the story of the unfolding horror more than words ever could. but it is only as bodies are pulled out of the inferno that the scale of this attack becomes clear at least 45 people were killed after an israeli airstrike targeted this camp for displaced palestinians in western rafah, according to the palestinian in ministry of health plastic tarps engulfed in flames sheet metal walls crushed by the blast okay of makeshift shelters flattened in an instance the israeli military says the strike killed two senior hamas militants who commanded hamas is west bank operations yet scene ravizza and khalid nijjar in a rare move, the israeli military's top lawyer launching an investigation into the strike, saying civilian casualties had not been expected it was assessed that there would be no expected harm to un-involved civilians. the idf regrets any harm harm to un-involved civilians during combat mohammad abu a te

cnn's jeremy diamond is in jerusalem for us. jeremy, though, of course we can see the horror on the ground clearly it's been harder to get an accurate estimate of how many palestinians have been killed since october 7 in gaza last week, the united nations quietly revised downward its numbers on fatalities for palestinian women and children. tell us more about that. what led to the change? >> we'll check this isn't about saying that fewer palestinian women and children have been killed during this conflict. this all has to do with where the united nations is pulling its data from the united nations is now listing women and children who have been killed, but only those who have been whose identities have been fully documented. that means that they you know, the names, the dates of birth, the identity card numbers of those individuals. but that brings the united nations to more than 7,000 children who have been killed about 5,000 women. but there are thousands more women and children that the palestinian ministry of health says hav
