"the settlers come at night while we're sleeping. they beat us and try to kill us. they try to force us out of our homes. i can't sleep anymore. i'm too afraid." families in this village, once home to some 140 palestinians, tell us they have been left with no choice but to flee their homes. "what's happening now is another catastrophe. i'm 60 years old. i've lived here my entire life." despite the fact that settlements in the occupied west bank are consi

violence is also being escalated of course in the occupied west bank, and east jerusalem since israel declared its war on hamas. the palestinian minister of health says dozens have been killed, at least 150 wounded there, in the past few weeks, cnn's nada bashir reports and palestinians also say they are being forced off their land and attacked by jewish settlers. >> armed and threatening, this is the face of israeli settler violence in occupied west bank. it's these acts of aggression which are chasing palestinian families out of their homes. piece by piece the palestinians and the village -- pack their lives away, never to return. the settlers come at night when we are sleeping, they beat us and tried to kill us. trying to force us out of our homes. i can't sleep anymore i am too afraid. families in this village wants home to some 440 palestinians say that they have been left with no choice but to flee their homes. what is happening now is another catastrophe, i'm 60 years old, i've lived here my entire life. despite the fact that settlements in the occupied west bank are considered

they are condemning the occupation in the west bank and east jerusalem. this is a hoe of force.ultiple leaders coming together in a rare meeting. usually they don't meet together. they came up with a resolution which has around 31 points full with condemnations as well as demand. in the lead up to the meeting, there was hope specifically from the arab world that there would be some kind of real tangible action, multilateral pressure that would be put on israel, and also the united states, which they have categorically said is complicit in many ways in terms of israel's actions in gaza. they mentioned the countries that are selling arms to gaza, making very clear that any country right now that is supporting israel and not -- and being silent about the humanitarian crisis in gaza, not calling for a ceasefire, also holds responsibility. now, what we're seeing on the ground in gaza plays a very big role in terms of the diplomatic discussion that are currently on the go. at the rafah crossing in egypt we are anticipating foreign nationals will be evacuated, a breakthrough deal going

night after night, in the occupied west bank, and east jerusalem, israeli forces have been arrested palestinians in their homes. some, the idea say are accused of being members of hamas. but many others are detained without trial or stated called. >> today, it is in the motive advantage and this mode of revenge also is combined with a mode of humiliation. this is very simple. israel is preparing for an exchange of prisoners. and they are arresting as many people as they can. simply because they are preparing for such a deal. >> the palestinian prisoner society said in the past six and a half weeks, several thousand palestinians in total have been detained by the israeli defense forces. if there is to be a hostage deal, it is not yet clear how many people might be freed. our home even sell for -- it presents a small glimmer of hope that she may soon see her daughter. again for cnn, jerusalem. >> still ahead for, us a somber day of remembrance in ukraine. the country marks ten years since the revolution that will alter the lives of people for years to come. >>> -- they now say 10,000 civilians hav

and east jerusalem. that was the status quote until 1967 when war broke out again between israel, egypt, syria, and jordan, is rarely forces occupied the west bank, gaza and east jerusalem as well as the golan heights and the cyanide peninsula. the conflict lasted years, culminating in another war, in 1973, between israel, egypt and syria. it wasn't until 1982 that israel withdrew from the sign i. it still occupies the golan heights which borders lebanon and syria. in the years following the oslo peace accords, palestine was divided even further, leaving more than 60 percent of the occupied westbank under direct control of the israeli military. today about 700000 is rarely settlers live in the occupied westbank and roughly 300 settlements and outpost, all of which are legal under international law. various events are being held across the world to mock the un international day of solidarity with the palestinian people. in the south african city of john aspect trade unions and members of civil society hill demonstrations cooling for an immediate cease fire in gaza. so not for this problem invited last week, recommending the closure of these rarel

once the partition takes place and jordan moved very quickly after 1948, the next, the west bank and east jerusalem and make it part of jordan. and egypt did not do the same for the cause of stripped the rule that they squashed any political activity in the best ways of the good, but they never made it efficiently a part of egypt. so the crowd a strip which was a pure ray creation of 1948 as the closing of the palestinians. and the question of the state of israel became a kind of a stateless geography added to res. so until today the shower do money, mama, dar wish a professor of palestinian studies and professor of history at brown university. thank you so much for joining us on the program today. we appreciate your time. all right, we're going to take a break and this does it say we'll have a full round up of our continuing coverage of the israel war on gaza at the top of the hour. these are the skies over gaza right now. it's almost 1900 g m t, that's $2100.00 local time in gaza. and remember what we found out about 30 minutes ago, the is really military now saying that they fully in circle gaza

across the occupied west bank and, and occupied east jerusalem, i saw a fight on ballasa refugee. chances were hit on thursday morning israel as intensified as raids and palestinian communities since harmless attacks on october . the 7th, at least a $164.00 palestinians have been killed and the occupied west bank. well, how much i'm jim is joining us now. live from of ramallah, bahama to tell us what vs where the forces say that they're trying to achieve with these rates. a rob, let me just 1st stop by updating you and our viewers about a rate that is currently ongoing. the israeli army has entered the town of bethlehem. we are told by eye witnesses there that they are encircling a house of a suspected palestinian fighter that they have asked to palestinian men to surrender. that, that confrontation is ongoing. we expect to get more details about that in the coming hours and we'll get those to you as we have them now when it comes to what these relays are intending to do, really, they made no secret about his really military leaders. the past couple of weeks have said that the gloves are

this has been netanyahu's policies, not only for gaza, the west bank, and east jerusalem, this has beennd strategy for the west bank, he always said, israel will always over see militarily the west bank. basically he's talking about reoccupying. we have videos of soldiers saying resettlements, we have ministers from the most far right government in the history of israel saying, you know, we need ethnically cleansed palestinians. they're implementing their coveted strategy, and it is astonishing that the only people who doesn't hear what he's saying is the biden administration. and bibi netanyahu himself, you know, one of the things -- >> do you think they're not hearing or it's putting them in a difficult position, and they don't know how to approach it. the secretary of state did meet with mahmoud abbas. they wanted the p.a. to be a part of the governing of gaza after the conflict. they have reiterated that, and it was just over the weekend, right, the prime minister came out and said, in fact, essentially secure gaza. >> so there's one thing about saying things, and another thing abou

could the 700,000 jewish settlers living on the west bank and east jerusalem somehow be included in a new palestinian state? well the arabs are inside, israel why shouldn't they be inside a palestinian state. there's plenty to discuss, with the two state solution, separate israeli state, several palestinian state, it's the only game in town, as i say, at the moment. in pretty sure that when negotiation begins, and i do believe that at the end of this, fighting two, three, four years from now, there will be renewed peace process under pressure from the united states. they will hopefully be more original possibilities discuss, because the two state solution has been discussed now for 40, 50 years. >> we will quickly, who then would be the negotiator for the palestinians? does the palestinian authority have any authority to negotiate? >> well that's a great question, that's exactly the issue, who speaks for the palestinians? is that hamas, which is basically we've seen a kind of death cult aimed at killing jews, or is that the palestinian authority in ramallah, which is a much more reaso

in the west bank and an east jerusalem released, the settlers and all their crews to divest palestinians or their homes. they are orchards. there, rose their land, their lives, in many cases, that's what he wants to do. and god, he wants to let them go ahead and do what they're doing in the west bank is to room and go on in gaza and do it on a large scale. so that's not going to wash, i hope with president biden or with any us administration, but one never knows these days. thank you for talking to us and thank you for sharing of use lauren's wilkerson former state department chief of staff, informing us army colonel, joining us a, a from virginia. thank you for your time. i thank you very much for these are, it has been intensifying is res, across the occupied westbank as well as its for on gas a continues thousands of mourners joined the funeral. a full time of scenes that were shot dead by really forces improved korean rates have increased there. and in the janine refugee, come with at least 2 people killed in raising a ton of bait on. and in hebron and even hebron thousands hundreds

one that would include gaza, the occupied west bank and east jerusalem as it's capital. now, the reason this is noteworthy is because one of the things we've heard reiterated by the americans over the course of the past couple of weeks, 1st, privately and publicly. when blinking talked about this at the us congress was that the us would be willing to see the palestinian authority eventually take more substantive control and security control over gossip. in the past, we'd heard some palestinian authority officials say that that would only be considered conditionally. yes, it would lead to negotiations over the creation of a palestinian state. this seems to indicate that they are still willing to pursue that if it's part of a broader package. now getting to that would be very difficult. it's not something that these really is at this point would be willing to consider. nonetheless, it is an important point that was discussed face to face today, between secretary blinking and present our past to discuss this and all the latest developments best. now bring in a brain for a ho
