like that but ended up doing something every new turn and saying yes you can do it let's talk to kristen salumi our correspondent following that so kristen just listening to 1st off the u.s. ambassador to the united nations it was clearly the ambassador talking sounded a lot like mr biden however. indeed although she took great pains to point out the suffering that's happening on both sides of this conflict this is the 3rd meeting that the security council has had in just 6 days is the 1st open meeting and the 1st chance for all countries to put their views on the table formally in this international setting. so far the united states have been resistant to that this is the 1st time that the council was able to come together because of u.s. resistance and we heard linda thomas greenfield who also is a member of biden's cabinet mentioned echoing some of his talking points she talked about the human toll of this conflict and the. i think sought to bolster the reputation of the united states here which has been taking some heads as being the ones who have been blocking international action pointing

paramount responsibility for more on the diplomatic reaction to all of this let's go live to kristen salumi she's at the united nations so kristin we seem to have people making the right noises but sort of momentum isn't building very much. well the united nations has remained uncomfortably quiet on the subject i should say the u.n. security council the secretary general and other u.n. officials have been speaking out daily about the situation calling for calm expressing their concern about rising violence and the underlying causes behind it but the security council has been able to unable to speak with one voice 14 council members did want to make a statement about the situation on the ground one council member opposes that was the united states they blocked even an informal statement the weakest form of the statement that the security council could make. saying that they instead wanted to focus on diplomatic efforts that were happening at the highest levels they were calling doing their own diplomacy they said behind the scenes to work towards easing tensions there of course in the meanti

many thanks for that kristen salumi there for us at the united nations. let's get a little more analysis on all this joining us live on skype from lancaster in the united kingdom is simon mabon he is senior lecturer in international studies lancaster university and thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera i don't know if you were listening to our white house correspondent but it does seem like the u.s. has the leverage to stop israel when it comes to the escalation in fighting specifically when it comes to arms sales so why isn't the u.s. doing that. well i guess it has some leverage i'm not convinced that it has as much leverage that might think it has some luck that's more the white house than the united states perhaps i think the white house is in a particularly difficult moment right now particularly under the bite in the ministration as he tries to to figure out his new foreign policy agenda is busy with the j.c. the nuclear deal he's busy trying to result things in yemen and now he's facing this this serious crisis with regard to the israelis and the

well, let's now speak try corresponding, kristen salumi. she's out the un for us. kristen. the pressure clearly mounting here on the international community. what's your sense of what might actually emerge from this meeting today? well, i think we can expect more of what we've seen in terms of countries calling for an immediate cease fire. the secretary general of the united nations, antonio good terrace, calling for an end to the hostilities. immediately a stop to the fighting. we can expect him to highlight the increasingly dire humanitarian situation that is unfolding in gaza. in particular, we expect about a dozen foreign ministers to be present in the iconic general assembly hall to deliver this message. the hope is that by appearing in the general assembly together that they will amplify this message, which so far has fallen on deaf ears. we know that the united states, as you mentioned, has been opposed to more formal action in the security council to issue a statement with one voice from the international community. they've argued that they don't want to undermine d

let's cross overnight to kristen salumi she's live at the u.n. chris in that meeting as started now i want kind of thing are you going to be listening out for. the meeting has just gotten underway this is the 3rd meeting that the security council has held in just the last 6 days but it is the 1st one to be open and on the record with many countries signed up to speak and express their concerns about the ongoing violence in the region secretary general antonio terraces now speaking perhaps we want to go to have to. jump in there chris and this is until you get terrorists as speaking about security council meeting. your theory is that that part of the policy going forward that it was in gaza and shop and also lost about the places we needed that it sets. off it was already over to threaten what it might be very i mean i don't even know if you will feel a rock of love. i am above all i mean secular refugee can be nothing which there are members of whatever you want you you made it very salacious but people. journalists must be like what are you feel

ministers today to including the palestinian foreign minister less tend to all correspondent kristen salumi at the united nations who's been following the meeting closely. what did you make of what linda thomas greenfield had to say. very interesting. this is the 1st time we've heard her speak publicly on the ongoing conflict and violence in the middle east. although we've gotten some read out of her comments from behind the scenes. and she was pushing back against criticism that we've been hearing all morning about the security council not being able to come together and act with one voice in some countries directly calling out the united states for blocking any such action. she said that in her remark, she talked about the fact that the united states has been actively engaged in behind the scenes diplomacy. she said to bring an end to the conflict as soon as possible. we have not been silent. in fact, she said, i don't believe any country has been working more fervently than the united states . she talked about 60 diplomatic meetings at the highest level 5 of those meetings, including pre

well, let's speak try, correspondent kristen salumi, who's out the united nations for us and who's also been listening in to this meeting christ and some very strong wide set from all of the speakers so far. what do we expect to emerge from this meeting? just how strong statement could we actually see? what we are seeing individually, very strong statements as a group. we do not expect any unified statement from the general assembly just like we have yet to see. one from the security council efforts are ongoing on both fronts, to come to some sort of an outcome statement. but we were told by the palestinian ambassador and a representative from the organization of islamic cooperation, who called this meeting that their 1st priority was to shine a light on the ongoing situation and amplify calls for a cease fire. the work of getting a unified statement takes time, they said, and they wanted to press forward with this urgently and put that in the backdrop. so what we're seeing here is an attempt to shine a light more of a light on the ongoing issue and confrontations. some themes that are

kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations audiences professor international lord queens university and also in canada. he says, the israeli government is claiming bias while refusing to accept judgment for the actions as an occupying force. this is a position of these are the government that goes back for years and their position . the reason for that position is symbol. they're being judged by their actions on the ground in occupied palace, fined by other states, and not alone palestinian arm groups are being judged as well if you like, by these other states. the fact of the matter is empirically speaking israel as an occupying power in occupied palestine for the past 54 years. he's responsible for a far greater amount, empirically speaking of violations of international human rights thought, humanitarian law than any other actor. certainly on the tough me inside. and so it's a pavlovian response of these are the government that they will blame the messenger in this case the human rights council for, for investigating them instead, frankly of, of responding to, to, on the merits.
