the important thing that many activists and my guests here salim is one of them they talk about the a sense of unity that they haven't seen for decades and they see me feel that they're all facing the same plight so palestinians in israel are facing discrimination by the israeli institution those in occupied east jerusalem are facing many problems many violations they cannot build here in the occupied west bank they face more stuck to their attacks and the illegal israeli settler. expanding those in dollars are subject. to sing every few years to an israeli. attack so for palestinians it's important for them that they are united in their struggle against the israeli occupation and they say even if this round of escalation and the siege of gaza strip and of course in occupied east jerusalem as well they feel that the plight is the thing which is the continuous israeli occupation ok thank you for that need for him in ramallah will talk to concern now aid agencies say a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in gaza tens of thousands of people have been displaced from west to recent hoda

standing by for us in southern israel near an israeli artillery battery but 1st let's start with sami abu salim he's a palestinian journalist in gaza and sami we understand in the last hour and a half a new barash of rockets were fired from gaza are the palestinian factions stepping up the rocket salvos after a night of heavy air strikes from israel. according to. sports some. have mass media their wing announced that and he mentioned or. including the last shooting there is. erakat it will be news specific ations which is called by $250.00 their name i mean. the palestinian. engineer. anything by is the name 1996 in gaza with trouble by actually he was known as one of the engineers who make bombs against israel anyway this this new rocket to head south to visit in an airport which means that it is a significant change in this kill. which means that old saw with people in gaza things may develop more and more in this statement. and i wonder if one of the shooting i mean in the beginning he said that we have more and more things and then after about 30 minutes all i want to hear. because it is i

also call on the other been muslim states elemental what they have recently agreed upon something abu salim is a palestinian journalist joins us now live via skype from gaza good to talk to you at last sunny what do you make of the international reaction so far to all of this with bearing in mind i don't know whether you heard our correspondent there saying that the u.n. security council unable to to release a statement on this because it's been blocked against the 2nd time by the u.s. . this is political a. sense of national community that you and they are not nations or. quark or the. united. states i do not claim that they cannot pressurise but they don't care and they do a lot. to push and i think that i believe that. they might. say nice that they can put enough pressure on israel to stop aggravations and things land and. but they are biased with less for example in the beginning of. the peace process in the beginning of 19 line ones. then i think bob. fine fine line shellings sentiment so all is building that that the man has thought that the time which means it was the practical thin

time each of these issues and its own unique aspects that we need to listen some of them actually salim age so i see style will take place it might take another there you go there you sometime maybe next week prevents was the nomic of the world in which hamas in in gaza but there will be a decision what happens or finance and he's actually shrewd boy 'd all these that leave we feel indignant. whatever the impact of what happened in a dozen the west bank these are things that some of this storm feeling. very sense and unless i'm old and known many i'll be israelis is authentic it's part of what happens in is a look this isn't really what i've been in the midst being enjoy was an all in all in oh in gaza is again in schools today continues discrimination off 20 percent of the population and again that if i had this not necessarily like now between jews and arabs between those who believe there can be coexistence conciliation the 2 people can live in peace in the same and respect each other and each citizen had exactly the same lines and also don't think like this and they think it's an in

need some medication but they received nothing so far ok very troubling situation indeed sami abu salim there reporting live from outside the bomb palestinian ministry of health sami thank you. were aware i was speaking with our correspondent need to abraham who is at the scene near ramallah when the gunfire broke out there hear some of that moments took more about what brings these protesters here we're joined now by a palestinian who was at the protest play alley how. we you have been living here you were born and raised under occupation what makes you think that this. meeting. we're seeing the crowds are leaving we're not sure what's going on there are people palestinians who are who are static. you dictating to say sixty's. yes yes we are ducking now because the kids like. the. meter and needs and we're going to we're going to we're going to let you get to play 66 it sounds rather dangerous where you're reporting from need to abraham we're going to check in with you and come back later on. and so these abraham we can confirm is safe and well she joins us now again from near ramallah

i'm joined now by dr randa salim, a fellow at the foreign policy institute of the johns hopkins universityl about the visit. i mean secretaries of state often go to israel, often go to the west bank but they are often clutching some kind of peace plan or some kind of document. mr blinken�*s visit seems to be notable by the absence of any such plan. correct. there is no vision right now with the biden administration besides the cease—fire besides updating it and as mr blinken said working with other countries, the eu, regional powers like the uae, egypt, jordan, to help with reconstruction in gaza but also to provide assistance to palestinians living in the west bank. we provide assistance to palestinians living in the west bank.— living in the west bank. we had a eace living in the west bank. we had a peace preposal — living in the west bank. we had a peace proposal from _ living in the west bank. we had a peace proposal from president i peace proposalfrom president trump's son—in—law whispers an oblate now is not going anywhere. in the absence of any kind of agreement on an outcome, can t
