i'm quoting now the pa prime minister, mohammad shtayyeh — "..the result of government policy in israelurder, confiscation "of palestinian lands, attacks on holy sites," and what they call, in the pa, "settler terrorism." do you have any understanding of the palestinian perspective here, the background to the tragedy that has hit israel? that's hypocrisy, because mr shtayyeh himself knows that those militants of hamas would have killed him when they will get the chance to do it. those barbaric who entered israel, they don't seek any kind of peace with israel. they want to see death and destruction. they live from the death and destruction. so i don't think you can find any excuse for that brutal behaviour of those animals. and i repeat it, stephen, those are animals. 0nly animals will take teenagers, will rape them and drag them into gaza. we are dealing with barbaric animals, and i think no—one should even try to look for any reasoning to explain and to justify such behaviour. and let me remind also mr shtayyeh from the palestinian authority what happened to the palestinian authority e

strip with its feet, that is, moving on to a ground operation , palestinian prime minister mohammed shtayyehel’s actions a mass genocide, this is due to the way israel is indiscriminately bombing the gaza strip, thereby fueling humanitarian disaster in the gas sector. israel is waging a war of extermination in the gaza strip, this is a real genocide of the palestinian people. we count on the ambassadors of friendly countries to protest against the actions of the israeli army in gas. we appeal to all interested countries to immediately intervene to open safe corridors for the import of medical and food supplies and the removal of the wounded. it is worth saying that despite the fact that the israeli government ordered the residents of the gaza strip to move to the south, where it is supposedly more or less safe, in fact this is not the case, karafah on the border with egypt is still closed, as you they said a little higher, indeed, the egyptian leadership is afraid to open the border, because a huge the number of refugees, and this will be the main field of egypt , now, as they say, they will

cnn's becky anderson spoke exclusively with the palestinian prime minister mohammad shtayyeh and started by asking him if he condemned that attack against israel on october 7th. >> -- killing every human being that does not deserve to die, we should condemn that. more than 1600 children have been slaughtered in gaza, more than 700 women. the general mood in israel today is a mood of revenge. i think this appetite for killing should be stopped. not one singular human being would like to see innocent people killed. >> you are unwilling to say you condemn the attacks, though, on october 7th. why? >> because you see, palestinian story does not start on october 7th. palestinian catastrophe has been there for 75 years. we have been shouting loud and clear we need a solution. what happened yesterday is yesterday. the preparation for a ground operation which is going to cost 10,000 palestinian lives, this is where the focus should be and that is what we should stop. >> were you surprised by the ferocity of the attack on october 7th? >> everybody was shocked. this is something that has been unpre

mohammad shtayyeh says palestinians are now facing an existential threat and he believes things could even worse. he spoke with our becky anderson from ramallah in the west bank. >> palestinians in 1948 were pushed out of their homes, were forcefully transferred to the neighboring countries. now, for israel to push again for a forceful transfer of more than a million palestinians from gaza out of gaza, out of palestine, into egypt is something that has been designed to end the question of the palestinian right, the return of the palestinian refugees, which was a final issue on the negotiations. that is a concern for egypt because egypt is not ready to be part of a conspiracy to end this palestinian issue and also for jordan. if that is going to happen in egypt, then who will prevent the israelis from pushing us here in the west bank to be forcefully transferred to jordan? and that is where the issue of transfer is such a concern because it is a national security issue for egypt. it's a national security issue for jordan. but it is an existential issue for us, the palestinians. >> what

pm shtayyeh: what we hear from the leaders of the occupying state preparing for a ground invasion meanstinuation of committing new crimes, forced displacement and killing for the sake of killing and revenge. leila: at a meeting of european leaders in luxembourg, european union foreign policy chief josep borrell said there was a consensus for a pause in fighting to allow for humanitarian support. josep: even for a humanitarian aid to get in, there needs to be a pause in the war. otherwise, humanitarian aid itself will fall victim to military activity. leila: another group of 20 aid trucks entered gaza from the egyptian border at rafah. but the united nations said they carry only a fraction of what's needed. israel barred the trucks from bringing in one key resource, fuel. without it, hospitals, water pumps and sanitation systems will grind to a halt. hospitals are struggling to keep power running for critical equipment, including incubators for premature babies, all this as israeli airstrikes rain down on gaza, spreading dust and rubble into the streets not far from the rafah crossing. i
