first of all refusing to to endorse the ceasefire, and secondly, by suspending aid to the united nations relief work agency, which the palestinians desperately need in passing, "there is a um an article which just come out in the united kingdom's guardian newspaper, which which points out that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that any united nations relief work agency employees took part in the attack on on october the 7th, so once again this is a fabrication on the part of israel. as it uh as it did regarding the alali attack on that hospital, the fabricated story of hamas beheading babies, the the fabricated lie of hamas systematically raping israeli women, which which was put forward in the uh new york times and has been subsequently been debunked and now we find out that the the whole israeli spinoff of uh unra employees taking part in the october 7th attack is another lie and based on that lie and without even attempting to uh wait to see what the facts really were, number of countries including canada, the united states, the united kingdom and others have suspended to the united nations rel

question to you is that you yourself mentioned the cutoff of aid that some countries gave to the united nations relief and employment agency for the palestinians after the accusations that the zionist regime he attacked unrwa, of course, my accusations were strange and interesting in their own way. for example, unrwa, which has 13,000 troops , these accusations were made against, for example, several of them and even their family relatives . why do you think at this stage after four months of the zionist regime? it has reached this point that he wants an agency do you also target relief? this is not a new issue, it was the goal of the zionist regime a long time ago. this is a sign and a proof of the zionist regime's actions for the ethnic cleansing of the palestinian nation. it was created in response to pakistan 's ethnic cleansing operation in 1948, and after that it was actually decided in the united nations general assembly resolution that anything that helps the nation palestine and the people of gaza strip, thank you very much, mr. abu sharif , we were able to deal with almost all issues, if at the end of the remaini

now 12 mostly nato countries the united states and britain leading the way uh boycotting any funds for the aid agency so i i think this... response to the united nations instruments condemning israel for genocide, there was a a mention of genocide in the judgment uh, what we've got is a response by the israelis and the americans and the brits uh in flying entirely in the face of that decision, so this is not we're beyond right and wrong, we're now into the realms of good and evil, this is evil we're witnessing here, this is wickedness, this is absolutely the... worst that a country can do, and i as a british, in a way, a sort of uh, i suppose humanitarian ambassador, as well as a journalist, look at my government, and i warm the world, we now have a medieval style king with king charles ii in britain, who is very unlike his mother, who took a step back as head of state and saw herself as kind of guardian of the country, but didn't get so much involved in politics, charles is now very much involved, for example in appointing... people like david cameron uh the former supporter of the israeli settlement program uh the uh fire up of the war in in libya t

is a failure, it will be the responsibility to some extent of the international aid agencies, notably the united nationsforfailing to provide safe passage for people. with me is sharone lifschitz. her mother, yocheved, was one of the first hostages released by hamas last october, but her 83—year—old father, oded, remains captive. thank you so much for coming to speak to is. your reaction on the day like today when we've heard this rescue operation? it is day like today when we've heard this rescue operation?— rescue operation? it is wonderful to see the peeple _ rescue operation? it is wonderful to see the people that _ rescue operation? it is wonderful to see the people that came _ rescue operation? it is wonderful to see the people that came back- rescue operation? it is wonderful to see the people that came back and | see the people that came back and the hostage families are so excited for them. the hostage families are so excited forthem. iam, but it the hostage families are so excited for them. i am, but it is two out of 134. three have been released through military effort in four months. we need

and then, as i say, you've got the problem that the aid agencies at the moment, the united nations andin the future for the rest of this year are looking pretty empty because all the money has just been going elsewhere — to ukraine and other parts of the middle east. the other problem they've got is this — last year, international aid was suspended for about five months because it was suddenly discovered that huge amounts of aid that was coming in here was being siphoned off, stolen, and ending up in the hands of various armed forces and, as a result of that, the united nations, the united states, they suspended their aid. i suppose there will be people that say it's endemic really in the horn of africa, generally, the lack of food supplies. i mean, maybe it's because of global warming, maybe it's because of politics on the ground that there's nothing anybody can do long term about it. all you can do isjust put sticking plasters on the situation, like the one where you are. this is an incredibly vibrant, populous country. there are parts of it that are incredibly fertile. you know, the
