that for us at the united nations let's bring in my one, bashar al jazeera senior political analyst who is live for us in doha. you've been following the united nations general assembly. busy because today, what do you make of what you've been hearing? clearly the, the, the position or the position of various countries seems to be aligned. there is clearly a consensus among the different capitals regardless whether they are on friendly terms or not. that there should be an immediate cease fire, and i think each and every one that we have heard did speak very clearly and unequal about the need for to cease fire. and to end the tragedy in garza. and as far as the american ambassador, you know, i am actually quite confused. miss morris, i should say, because on the one we have of the bus that was quite eloquent. and clearly, you know, she's picks it hard shell tone, even defensive tone, about you know what america isn't, there's not doing but clearly what she's saying negates the facts. she clearly negates what we've been reading in in and met credible us reports like in the new york times and the washing force about the by the ministrations position over the last 2 wee

united states remains unwilling to push israel to the table, it's questionable how much more can be achieved. kristin salumi there who is following that meeting for us. the united nations general assembly and indeed all of the happenings at the un around this issue. thank you so much, kristin. we'll leave it there with you for now. i will speak to you a little bit later on. now if you've just been joining us here and i'll just there, we are following a very special session of the un general assembly that's been called to discuss the israel palestine conflict. so far we have heard from the un secretary general, antonio terrorists calling for an immediate cease fire and prioritizing the protection of civilians as we see this conflict ongoing. and we have also had from the palestinian foreign minister, we had a leaky saying that there needs to be a solution to this ongoing conflict. and we will be having more coverage of that in the coming hours following very closely here on al jazeera to stay with you know, what's going on was, it's a very bleak picture for a lot of americans out there. why supremacy, in fact, all of ours completion, you're putting more money into the hands of some work

is correct. the general assembly is the most dramatic democratic body here at the united nations. everyone has an equal vote in equal se, but at the security council, whose words and actions constitute international law. the security council does not come together and issue a proclamation, then it doesn't have the same force as international law. now, because the security council hasn't acted the other countries in the general assembly, specifically the organization of islamic cooperation and the arab group here, the un we're pushing for this meeting. they wanted to amplify the message that's coming out. so that in that sense, that's what they hope to accomplish here, but you're right, the security council really is the only body that has the power of international law behind it. and of course, as we've seen over the years, the united states are, i'm sorry, over the years, they have issued many proclamations on middle east, but they haven't really been enforced or done anything to resolve the situation there. and you could argue the united states could argue that avoiding the secu

is boss against them in terms of the human rights council . and for that matter, the general assembly, as the general view of the majority of the 193 members of the united nations, is, is not particularly pro israel in terms of its activities in the occupied palestinian territories. it's different on the security council because of course there, there are 5 members that have a veto, and one of them is the u. s. and normally, israel can expect the backing of the us. so the idea of this resolution, james and the word which i picked up most of you said there is, is to establish an ongoing commission of inquiry, recognition of the fact that this can't just be treated as flare ups when they happen, which then gets sent to the security council, they should actually be a you in body, which is looking at this all the time. yes, although there are parts of the us that are looking at this very, very regularly. it is under close analysis by the you and the question, i think many observers who would say is what actually, you know, they come up with a reports and there's a gentleman called mike link who's going to be speaking later in this meeting, who's a special rapport t

the united nations, the organization of islamic cooperation and the president of the general assembly was to get a cease-fire. that was the aim. that was their goal. that has been accomplished. there is a lot of relief here at the united nations, but the meeting was called after 11 days of conflict. more than at least four security council meetings. two attempts at the security council statement that did not work. one attempt at a security council resolution, which went nowhere. in addition to the calls for the cease-fire, we heard many speakers putting pressure on the security council calling out the security council and the united states, which was against a security council statement or any kind of action on the part of the council for its role. the u.s. saying it was working through other channels to achieve this end of the cease-fire. we also heard a lot from speakers about the rising toll this is taking on civilians, civilian casualties, which have been overwhelmingly palestinian. and the humanitarian crisis that has ensued. many also focused on the need to address underlying issues here that led to the conflict. namely the lack of palestinian autonomy. the lack of palestinian

. >> it was disputed in the general assembly by united nations. you may not think that isfor israel. now france and germany are leading the charge. there is international criticism. back to my first question, do you think there will be a cease-fire in the next 24 hours? >> i don't know. i know israeli domestic opinion is very much set against it it. i can understand why. my own family which does not always agree with me politically are all against it. they have young children and want to create a situation where they don't have to relive this nightmare every several years. they want deterrence restored. they understand what is happening in international opinion. we understand the casualties by hamas using civilians as shields. they fire rockets with the express purpose of massacring them. we cannot afford that. we have to defend ourselves and will continue to defend ourselves against an enemy not seeking a two-state solution, it's seeking to annihilate us, period. >> let's just say that the civilians are suffering on both sides. >>> breaking news from capitol hill. the hou
