The waking nightmare of not knowing the fate of their loved ones. And we will continue to coordinate closely with israel to help secure the release of the innocent men, women and children in the clutches of a marsh colored speak to hold a adult who is in west jerusalem for us. And really the message today from austin was just backing up what we had seen yesterday from the secretary of state, isnt it . Yes, absolutely. Is just showing that the u. S. Is very serious in its support to israel, where they would, that would be by saying all the right things, like we just heard from the secretary of defense. We heard it from President Joe Biden and from anthony blinking the secretary of state. But theres also more that was discussed during the meeting with lloyd austin, specifically more military aid to israel. We do know that a 2nd aircraft carrying munition should arrive or maybe have has arrived, but it should have touched out this afternoon and tell a v. We know that theres a big load of m interceptors that are also being delivered to boost up the air defense Defense System of this country. And then the secretary of defense also said very clearly that to anyone who tries to, why didnt the goals conflict . Dont he also made it clear that actually all this a thats boring, gave me if anyone thought that the us could not do it. He said that actually us could continue supporting you crate and israel both at at the same time and hold of will. So i have gotten reports that i could find in the north of israel. Yes, uh the um army has actually said that uh, they was a, an explosion by the Border Defense that separates northern israel from lebanon. It was next to the town. Oh, the village of had moved. Uh uh, so this would be the western part of that boy defense that they could have been infiltration. But this, the army was coming that area. And that is really artillery. Fire was of was a fire towards 11. And now as we speak of benjamin netanyahu, and his new work cabinet are meeting the Defense Ministry in till a v for security assessment, that would probably be they would be probably pulling on the situation. Not only of the southern border with guys as certainly as this northern border was with lebanon, which has been times on and off ever since this crisis started last saturday. But it seems that the, every day that passes maybe that tension is increasing a bit. So certainly israel watching very carefully what could have happened there and what could possibly happen in the future days. And also you have to, we have to remember the just shortly before that actually how much had fire. One of his longer reading to me says that i asked to 50 towards the area of suffered in northern israel. And that would be the deepest or the 1st is inside israel. Thats how much has the truck since last saturday it was intercepted by the, by the air Defense System. But the search and the i reminder that these were good. Why didnt and couldnt goals other parts of the country quite easily. If the, if israel continues coming under a rocket attack. Okay, thank you so much for that. That is how the, how much for us and with jerusalem as well. This is a live shot of guys. Are we going to uh go to uh, correspondence from the outside who is on the phone from the end to the beginning of this news. Uh, we heard a little bit about your journey from kansas city to con eunice. Can you just explain exactly where you on now and uh give us a few more details about what it took to get to um, from the north of guys down to the south where you uh yes so well it is actually a very difficult decision to make so actually take my family and my kids dipping and find other people who would make the journey under the guards and a go all the way to con you to its rob. Got the city which is a long drive. Now we did take this decision because we did not want to risk canyons of the city after all, the warnings and all the crest of what is going to be happening in the city and the north. If you do not evacuate, it took, its actually a couple of hours to find or an end to check. Some of the other people who had already taken the journey much are the typical trees. So to go to, to, to pay in order to get here. See me and not go to the good wide meant or the 3 that are the story we did come here to con you in a spot the boardman hasnt yet. Tom and tom, i want to tell you that we have a confirmation from the ship. A Hospital Doctor is that please to car the lead card . Wheres targeted while they were evacuating exactly at about 5 p. M. Thats an hour from now. They were uh, in in, they were families in these 2 cars and they were evacuating, trying to get to the south to harden units when they were both targeted by ms childs. And theyre just in dozens of our injuries in these 2 type of thing. And they were taken quickly to hiding units as a result of that. Now, while people, some people were able to make this jersey and rush kits and, and come all the way to cotton unit. There are thousands, hundreds of thousands more that youre not able to, to, to, to rest. Cuz i had to come all the way to con units, not just because they were not able to raise, but because there are no key. 8 is that a bill and theres no case or a place to stay in and call me and this, and this is exactly how the situation is. There is a 1000 who did want to evacuate, but they did not find me because the entire government upon you and the, with the people that it already has and the bombardment of their home. And i, most of the residents have con unit having to be in showcase rochelle says its called the medical center. And even in other uh, residents, neighboring seeing other people, there was no a place for more people to come all the way from god to call you. And its again, okay, you know, thank you so much. We really do appreciate you giving us a sense of exactly what it is like inside gas or at this point in time. Thank you. Awesome cut off joins us from inside cancer as well. He is the medical director at all. It was a hospital and for the Deputy Health minister. Thank you so much for taking time out of what i can only imagine as an incredibly busy time. Can you explain . Are you at the hospital right now and can you just give us a sense of what it is like then . And im very, it was a little for health with us. I just just came back from you and as i, you know, said go to my family. So other, other places around them back. But it is, you know, very, very, very kind of, you know, the people have a great thing to look at you printing on this and know, and the heavy, you know, the departure and the way of goodness and load it. And i know that it was protection of perfect understanding, the involvement from the, from a to, from the dance and being gifted in voters. This is the situation on being to the Community Funding chief, i still, in the situation is ready about the, the federalist out. Could not do the major surgeries because because of lack of, you know, a major needs for individuals. Hedge it is as well as, you know, the, there is no police as the driver cost with the drivers take that off because as a your own. Uh, you know, if you buy by, you know, um on the people on the, it says it is a there. So there is no police and the chief falls, but the most with them. And the situation is very, very about, can i just clarify you, you actually list a to go to con units. But of, since we attend to the hospital here in wisconsin, is that out of sense out of a sense of juicy to your patients . Again. Okay. Have you returned to to the hospital now youve returned back to north guys or havent you thats out of a sense of duty to your patients putting yourself potentially in homes. Why . You know, im, i, i havent spent a lot of time because i need, i, im, im sure they need to be in my house because beside the migration and, you know, and, and doing that my, my duty, i was, you know, to be emotion leaving. Why have my, my kids and my, my wife error and the internet is house. Im getting back to the gaza. Yeah. We know is where i listed that one point. 1000000 people and those guys that should evacuate within 24 hours. That time is running out rapidly. How difficult it is if you wanted to, how difficult would it be to to, to move everyone in that hospital out even if, even if you wanted to. Yeah, this is my decision i believe because you know, because that is what it meant. What does a therapy is one critique because the population is just the insurance all over the world and you know, to do to remove the from, from the north guys up to i would pick this out to got done. And what does that even though in, in the very, in know, infinity give activation like that on the involvement and what the outcome of to be. It is something unbelievable. Agree. Yeah. All signs are pointing to, um, israel military. Uh, authorizing significantly uh inside guns are in the days ahead. Thats effectively what they have said. What are you worried about . What comes next as well, she was given to civilians, no mass critical or civilians. No diminishing houses. On the street in people and you know, the progression of water and electricity and medicine improved. So how so all you know, but you know, if this is to gaza, so didnt know that fabian gaza that they havent been, have created, you know, of, of life favor of ophelia of didnt mean it. Mean you come to the failure of pray, you know, you would be the grandsons of life and well, you mentioned the supplies and we know that the rapidly running out the water, food fuel or medical supplies, how much do you have left . How long can you keep authorizing . I wont say nobody kind of know, can you give me their state, jack, please . But if its, if its collapse, just wondering if youre or, or one of the modal, its one day or 2 days. Those that you wouldnt be, you know, experts that, uh, with this, you know, easy consumption of the medical supplies. And every now when did people, im the math, the global. No, i wanted people to be fine if for a minute. Um, but you know, we have, you know, with the surgeon and the people are interesting to continue working. Yeah. Whats the situation is really quite remarkable that you are still going and such a incredible, incredible scenario. Thank you so much. We do appreciate your time. This house on call of the medical director at l was a hospital these riley military is asking residents and a village near the lebanese border to lock the doors and windows and stay at home. The load was issued for the people of huntington, near the is where i live in on the border. They will go into a gun and could be infiltrating from living on a hush and joins us live from alma l shop and live and on. And i think what more can you tell us about this . It has, has theyve been in inclusion. It was a couple of hours ago. There was a group of fighters that infiltrated into this ready board as they did relate to the separation, the wall that separates the lebanese from this way, he bought us. Then there is ready armies started showing the bushes and all the vicinity of the villages in this area on a shot to be at in was done with head out and reaching to the heads of the buena overseeing the hood where the United Nations headquarters is based on these skirmishes seem to have also extended to other areas on the east border. Weve had reports from either shop and also from the eastern sector on the border with his rental so that there were some gunshots. There however, we dont have details on about what happened, but the situation here seem to be seems to be a escalade thing. Yeah. Gradually, from situation where the one that talking today and now were seeing this day was probably several attacks according to the reports we had its theres a context of course the thoughts a few days ago with as long as i talk on dish about funds and then design meet you, how to talking is ready to accept that infiltrating introduced really bought us then the Assembly Gates launching massages into is right on this road. We thought you think by hitting has the law fight isnt getting 3 of them and then says below retaliating in return and killing is really so just the situation is getting tens, day after day on this Operation Zone is getting more involved into it, into the big conflicting guys, you mentioned that there was a threat of escalation. Now, what would that likely look like . What the fact is that with this escalation over here, it seems that does kind of a strategy to keep this. Read the army busy on this, on this front. On to get more minutes. We attention to this front and by that trying to relieve garza from some of the pressure. How about we dont know if this is. If this is succeeding, i bought it sets, it seems, it seems to be very connected to whats happening, garza and thats why weve been witnessing all these attacks. So there are reports of some injured injuries. Following this ready showing on, on south 11th, well have to confirm doctors the emergency services. However, this is whats uh, whats being reported just now from our thoughts. Okay, thank you so much. That is a la hush him for us in alma oh shop and living on this riley forces have killed at least live in palestinians in the occupied west bank on friday. The palestinians have gathered in several places including the illegal settlements of faith out the protest and support of guns a set today. At least 47 palestinians have been killed in the occupied with bank by the by is really forces or unsettling. Attacks need even isnt to fade alice, you joins us live, so, need a living palestinians. Kilby answered, i can, you just bring us up to date with exactly what has happened as well after the friday. Prayers, palestinians have sift through the streets of different palestinian cities. Here in the occupied the west bank and most of them physician points with these were the forces and try to show so forth for gaza and protesting against these really bombardments on their fellow palestinians in the besieged. Because its the way to have it in front of one throat this, that is happening in front of the negatives. Really supplements of beds out. Were seeing these really forces using live i munition. Again, the prove the says youre talking about people who are only armed with rocks, its so and theyre being hit with even ruins. Getting to the guys. And the thing is towards the protesters, and as you can see now is guessing darker, which means its going to get some more risky for palestinians. Its going to be hard for them to identify with the shooting is coming from, as we are seeing, these really forces moving in Different Directions at around the industry check points and around the league is where the supplements. And lets not forget this in front of us also. Maybe we can pond the camera to show you is the, the sensor of these when the occupations in the occupies westbank, the building where basically Palestinian Movement is the size of the palestinian permits. So when we talk about the occupied west bank, we are talking about the system of occupation that has been in place for decades with palestinians even how to take a minute to the permits before they go to a hospital before they go from one, a place to another if they want to get married, if they want to register their children in the public population registry. So up to that, that already difficult see, is the city is, are seeing and those are coming out from the besieged because of sir. And you can just get a feeling of how much palestinians are frustrates of how much their trigger is home. So they feel that theyve been left alone already. We were talking about 2023 being that the v a senior in the occupies was thing into decades. So 1st thing is here will tell you that these really forces whit or run it through. Theyre happy. So you can imagine in a state of war as the palestinians are being killed, as the world is showing more and more support for, for israel, that these numbers off casualties are getting pretty good. Neither can you just explain what will happen in the west bank when this potential escalation is military escalation comes from, is rilen to gallons of what, what the direct impact will that have on the west bank as well. Its hard to tell how and when its and if the palestinian on the groups are going to be retaliation towards whats happening. Weve been seeing that some harm here in the occupied with bank gather and. Busy a carry arms and use that in committing effects against is really forces. So its hard to tell whether they can do that now with the state of total clues or between different cities in the occupied with mac. And we are talking about a population that is largely on arm that it knows its facing, having him in the city with the most 6, no logical, advanced weaponry of so you know, where the power lies in this conflict. But weve been speaking to those groups that have been a good thing together and working together and janine loveless and people there would say, yes, we know we are the weaker fuzzy but that doesnt mean to give up. And for them is expected for their feelings to get even more agitated as theyre seeing these really forces pushing more than 1000000 palestinians away from the homes in garza. So theyre looking at the situation and seeing that the world is saying that the world is witnessing another neck, which is the catastrophe. The success in 1948, where weve seen hundreds of thousands of for the city is being displaced from their homes as the state of israel has been created. So you can imagine the city is feel that theyre still city being left alone to, to being killed in front of the worlds cameras was no one is paying attention to their life as victims of decades long. This is really ministry, a few patients. Okay, thank you. So much that is a need to be for him for us and paid out to run con is outside of hospital in ramallah and he sent us this report all throughout the day, weve seen a lam ambulances arrive here from various demonstrations in the occupied west by this ambulance is actually arriving with a critically injured us and you can see everybody how old the medics get around. And now what the empties are telling us is the types of injuries that they thing off from life fire. And they say that there is an excessive use of force against the palestinians. Normally these radius would use rubber coated still bullets that would use take us. But now it seems that they all using lifes against the protesters. Now right now, uh the hospital size. Its not over whelmed, but it is worried that if things escalate, it could simply become overwhelmed. And were on con, ill just there and im a, it is rarely false as have 5 tick. Uh, so thousands of palestinians trying to enter the old city in jerusalem. They were attempting to reach our locks. And last, friday, pris moss has named its military operation against as royal oaks, the floods as it responds to, is raining a tax on gonna ship is at the most will be a lock. The most compound is one of the holy sites for muslims, jews, and christians. It also symbolizes the daily injustice has faced by the palestinians and occupied East Jerusalem. And its legal status has been a constant flash point. Alonza is as long as the holy as size choose referred to it as temple mount and believe it to biblical temples once stood there. Its home to the time of the rock. We have muslims believe the prophet mohammed send it to heaven that sometimes confused with the mosque, but the most good self lies here. At the southern end of the compound, only, muslims are allowed to pray in its comm pounds. Then there is the western bowl which is from around the worlds come to pray. They believe it is the remains of an ancient temple. Beside a hot is in occupied East Jerusalem. We attentions have been rising and police have find to guess. We had a huge selection behind us as the stand off, unless moreno can show you the is really the soldiers the ready. If they need to be withhold, it was rather bullets fireworks. We heard a series of things coming from that direction down this lane down here. Now course were right in the old city, so theres plenty of lane, little houses above us, a pot of send in. And were not quite sure whats going on, but theres definitely a bit of tension. As you can see, the Security Forces are trying to find those palestinians that either fired fireworks or sound or rubber bullets. Were still not sure for it is just highlights to the tensions that are happening. And of course its friday pres today, a day where a fridays symbolic, a full palestinians to come out and protest against these, ready for susan, any occupation and occupied territories, including parties through so and occupied westbank. So you have the media here, were being pushed back quite a bit and this has been happening since we go ahead. This is as close as we can get to whatever the situation is going down that road. Now nick, um, you know, you and i were here last year and um, at the time when uh john list screen was killed. Of course, tensions were extremely high at the time, but this at the moment is on another level everyone ive been speaking to here in jerusalem and specially unoccupied west. It is sorry, occupied East Jerusalem palestinians happen hunkering in the home shops had been close to the last few days. Of course, apart from us, press Security Forces in the past and walking down these lanes down this area which is considered a to have some of the heard is sites for jews, christians as well as most slims and a time when tourism is the assets peak ahead of christmas its, its the ghost town at the moment. So that just gives you an idea of the tensions that have been happening here. Full palestinians and also in west or is that um you have of course as res. So all the sketch um to interacts with palestinians given the situation given that this country is at will um, just to also give you an idea of been ive been head covering this area for a few months and even a taxi drivers before they come and pick you up, theyll call you to see whether youre a palestinian or in his riley because tensions are incredibly high, of course having spoken to the policy. And is it just less friday, pres . Of course, many of them the same and not sketch. This isnt the 1st time and they offer pads, full whatever comes. So at the moment its not clear whats happening um, just down this road, but well definitely keep you posted in it. Because of course, as you can see, its an ongoing situation. Ill just arrows mohammed jim june is at damascus guys and occupied East Jerusalem. He sent us the sundays. The 1st let me just tell you whats going on behind us. As you can see, theres still a lot of security personnel here. We have started seeing worshipers that have been emerging because friday prayers now over. So we are expected to see more in the moments to come. And we did see, as sarah mentioned, a lot of men who were in the younger ages of 35 and under who had been turned away. Not being able to access the mask, escape and get to an ox. A must compound in the past hour, hour and a half. And i spoke to some of them to ask them what they were feeling. Some of them, after they emerged, waited here and off to the side where we are, they gathered and they pray. They went ahead and prayed out here close to the street. The other one spoke to us and talked about the frustration that theyre feeling, but not being able to go and not being able to get to the mos compound on a day like today. But also we ask them about their feelings right now in the wake of whats going on in gaza. So many of them told us about how concerned they are about palestinians in gaza. Theyre extremely concerned today because of the fact that there has been this evacuation order. They say they dont know where the residents in gauze are going to be able to go. Many of them said to us, they believe this is going to be a humanitarian catastrophe. One man that i spoke with also pointed out, he said that he was very, very dismayed and very disturb, to have seen what happened when im us attacked southern israel. And he said that the civilians, women, and children should never have been targeted. Another man that i spoke with said that the fact of the matter is right now. The situation has gone much more perilous than his words for palestinians. He says, because of what happened because of the attacks. You said now loops the of the future for them is more in certain then it was and it was already very, im certain he says things are very dire now. And theyre very concerned that essentially theyre going to be facing a much harsher reality than they already do going forward. Now, i just want to mention again, you see the stepped up security behind us. We were told earlier in the day theres at least 2500 the security offers officers that have been deployed to this area of occupied East Jerusalem today. Thats one of the reasons we have not seen a lot of worshippers being able to access this area. Being able to get into the lots of mos compound but also one of the things that we seen people have said that they know relatives who didnt want to come out today. Theyre concerned about the security situation. They just dont know about whats going to be happening in the hours and the days ahead. So its a tenuous situation. Its a tense situation. It has been quiet here where we are at the mass gate. Weve not seen any clashes, but certainly what weve heard from people, they are very worried about whats going to be happening in the days ahead. The us secretary of state has arrived in casa to discuss the gallons of war, and think lincolns visit comes just dallas off to he made palestinian prisons mock mood of boston children. Now boss compared israel was ordered to evacuate in wisconsin to a 2nd knock by the 10. Not though the catastrophe refers to the fullest exodus of palestinians from their homes in 1948. When the state of israel was created, a boss is cooling for humanitarian car doors. In garza, this is a, a, a live picture of a, the room with a press conference is true to be held. And the next few minutes we of course will cross back to that when anthony, blinking, the us secretaries of state speaks alongside cuts as Prime Minister a while of course, on some of them. Jeff joins us now in studio. And what are we expecting to hear from both blinking and colors from this . So when they speak, hopefully in the next few minutes, what is going to be more of the same that be being hanging from 2 sites. So obviously want to talk to each other, blinking this, doing this round of 6 nations in the middle east, where he wants to put the pressure on from us to try and get the prisoners exchanged or released. And all of these countries are looking at the United States to exert pressure on israel to allow inhumanity 8. And we had expecting something along those lines to come out of confidence belt at the exec has been a very important stop in the past and a for Us Diplomatic efforts. If you remember just a few months ago, the iranian prisons swap it earlier than that, the whole ive gone piece deal. So United States and customer have worked hand in hand to resolve differences and help each other diplomatically. So this is why i cut that is going to be crucial before he moved on to word sound to your idea. But the tone that youre seeing is 2 sides. Keep speaking of a different language as need lincolns message, as hes been saying to the pool that is travelling with him, is to get those prisoners out is to make sure that the hundreds of College Students be hearing numbers as high as 600 american nationalists could be in gaza and get them to a safe point of exit or get them released and the other side youre seeing a into, in, in now most reaction on after friday prayers across the list. The majority countries in the world in particular. But theres a lot of internal pressure on these governments who are just a few weeks ago talking about a possible approach. My and building ties with israel. Yeah. And now they have to work towards getting the americans to allowing him attitude he need. And its really good, its to go silent. Okay, thank you so much for that. We will no doubt to, to hopefully uh, straight off to the press conference, which is sure to begin uh in the next few minutes. Hopefully. Thank you so much. I to get it to recap the developments in the boynton. Garza israel has ordered 1100000 palestinians in northern garza to evacuate to the south within 24 hours. That includes un stuff and tens of thousands of people. And some of the kansas biggest refugee cans is rarely it strikes have killed nearly 1800. 00 palestinians since saturday. When a mass launched an attack on southern israel, as ralph has drunk the 6000. 00 pounds on gaza since the will with a mazda again, and more, keep fully every hour. More than 423000. 00 palestinians, but its only 20 percent of gallons. This population has now been forced from their homes as in time neighborhoods are reduced to rubble. Lets take a closer look at the region now. This is northern guys, a home to the chevrolet refugee can. Its the largest in the strip, and 116000 people lived in the shante refugee camp is one of the causes most crowded. Its also in the north, along with a large number of you in facilities and hospitals including kansas largest. The la she for hospital is riled. Once all these people, including you in work is to move to the south of why the gaza. You and i would say the relocation of so many people, the simply impossible. Its not clear how they could make that journey through rubble and constant. Its is righty, bump up into the south. You in run schools in the south over the full of thousands of displays, palestinians taking shelter pacifically, ticket reports from the southern israel with troops and military hardware have been messing the of the board with gaza. A very heavy miniature presence full on the outskirts of gauze a time there is outgoing artillery that were hearing completely as well as the sound of jets in the sky. Weve seen airstrikes. Its the northern part of the gulf strip, which is just a few kilometers away. From off the road. Okay, lets go to the how now with terry Prime Minister and us secretary of state, a speaking lets listen a and to the blank. And the us that got the state by wont come. Youll hear in though thats the video we made, the little today was in good, take good on the circumstances with the escalation in the occupied as right. You know, the, the funny part of seeing intended places where as a medium and then as well what i mean, we had the conversation in this regard and we discussed the political humanitarian complications of the situation. We have reiterated and the cut, the situation regarding hitting and targeting the civilians, the women and children, and the collective punishment that is not acceptable on the end. The circumstances and these condemnation must be though, must go to any one who is involved in these matters. We need to call them old, that so rates a sort of a single supply and all of that to stop the blood said. And to avoid as south of by those the be lose. All the region will pay the price high on the how, because the priorities of costs. Uh yes. Within the diplomatic pro which is the quality of lock and c, c is 5. You protect the civilians or the release of the cabins is going to add to the hall then, or the not to spread the violence in the region because this will have bad consequences. Another we also have sands, our beautiful as the god. Then you might have to, we in sort of the quoted goal was to keep that assistance is an aide. I see a few of them read saying that by this theme, you know, that particularly within the did the ration of the situation in the guys the same. It is as, as, as to what we can see in guys the scripts and saw that all basic needs, no electricity because of the documents. And we understand that the situation is very tough and we only have to exempt own possible efforts with lines and boxed and those particularly the nonsense of america in order to calm the situation and to not to increase the more casual please within civilians. And the only way to reach a peaceful solution is to open only contact chat and those with the boss. And as im concerned about this through cooperation, we appreciate the regional ants and National Efforts being made to the is kind of the situation cuts a deeply believes that mediation dialogue are very ample to this as well to of our phone and phone and say, and got the has the made a lot of successes through dialogue with the bosses and the cops. I is now having a great position as pop that in a shaving. And to bring these cuts out is committed to be a pause in the Peace Process in making phase. And we need a lot, and if the thing that will have the good reputation of the cuts us through the bosses, we done so that the lack of that last and says, illusion will have bad consequences of the ends. And thats not going to be up to date, most threats. So was the solution of the by the scene in close within the out of the initiative that insisted on that policy. And then his date on the boat is of 96, a 7 with ease utilizing them as the capital of the states, the policy and the must get them to get them applied. We look forward to working more and more with our partners with the u. S. And other popular isnt all this going to have, this is a widget in the policy and that, that it was. And then as well, for the peace and security and the legion, then peace be up on you are good evening. Um, let me start by pressing my gratitude to the mirror and to the Prime Minister, my friend on the or is always very productive discussions. Color has been a very close partner to the United States on broad range of issues that especially both of our countrys end of this region im working together on banqueting americans, afghans and other smith understand to cooperating very closely responding to the magistrate emergencies. Like the devastating was quite interesting. Yeah. And in area were meeting today at what is difficult, but also consequential time of the reach in the way of a mazda is calling a tech build. More than 1300 has released at least 27 american citizens. And people from more than 30 of the United States and cut her share the goal of presenting this conflict spread we discussed in detail our efforts prevent any a state or non state creating a new front this public russell working intensively together to secure the release of cost putting american citizen, being held by a mouse and god, the rates of the urgency, the other is bringing this. Ive had the opportunity to meet yesterday with the families that some of those being held hostage by law. Their anguish is profound. Desperate bring their loved ones home. We are working version of the cutter and were doing that. The allies in partners, possibly as israel continues to respond to a mazda as devastating attack. United states will ensure that it has, but it needs the defense defense. Austin was in his real estate doing just that. Most of the piece rarely make sure that were providing them what they need and well be able to do that on an ongoing basis. Same time. Were in constant communication with is really officials and with Multi Lateral International Organizations. That of train organizations between United Nations agencies between the i c, r c. Again, 8 civilians and guys this with yesterday and telling me israel has the right need. It has the obligation to defend its people and try to ensure that the most can never repeat what its done. We continue to discuss with is really important. Taking every possible precaution to avoid harmony civilians. We recognize many policy and families and guys are suffering. The no fault of their own, the Palestinian Civilians have lost their lives. We want the loss of every industry. Life is really how the cities do christian muslim. As well as the billions of everything and every nationality been killed. Lets not lose sight of why this has happened. Is real is conducting operations and gaza because im not carried off charge. The fact that killed in the most horrific ways. 1300. 00 was be the muster slaughtered rate mutilated, tortured bird, innocent civilian babies to the elderly man, women, boys and girls. Now efforts to get him out of train aid into gauze. Complicated by this fact that most continues to use innocent civilians as human shields and is reportedly blocking the rows that palestinians are moving to southern gas out of harms way. We know the amount of train situation is already were actively engaged with parkers including color to get aid to those. We need direction to see. Thank you again for todays very, very good discussions and for all the work that our countries has done together enough to for the seller. So when we do not have a question from the general us because it is a lot of being so 1st question that you said was that it was due to the category of 5 minutes to if you need to repulse, told me about an agreement that has been agreed to freeze around 6000000000. 00 the run here and get to a question to mr. Blink. Have you heard you and megan had misplaced and know that the, the numbers of casualties in guys that more than 1500 of these casualties and victims unit of children, according to reports and the cold into the unit save. My question is clear to you what when the United States do being democracy, advocates in the world. What will you do in old that not to kill another child in guys . A miss the so source audio regarding the media reports about raising the around in funds in cut off the state of cuts as well. It was committed to show in the agreement and every steps must be done through consultations with other partners, the funds, the money for him and cuts off the is the less all that from this and agreement for the phones on the way to should focus on our product, so well focus assets to do that and the priorities. Yeah, its a city of put the them to the tell them for the ways to cancel a lot of brothers in godsa, i believe with it not to do anything. Thats what this kind of situation in the region 5 you things. As i said, just a moment is real, has right and even the obligation to defend his people and to do everything and to ensure that what happened last saturday never happens again. Same thing on the way its real. Does this matters way any deal with such a situation matters and that in we discussed with these relatives are these relates to use every possible precaution of voice on facility. Its also important to remember the fundamental issue that makes the so complicated as i said again, a moment ago, mosse uses civilians as human shields, puts them in places where they will be in danger. Puts them in places where theyre using an effective try to protect a loss specials or their equipment or if the truck so the use of course should not be the target of military operation. They are not. The target is really operations. They are very deliberately, the target from us is x and i mentioned as well that we are very actively engaged with you and release agencies with the i c r c with others who address the acute and measuring needs of people in guys to protect the car and make sure that they have the ability to get what they need. We need to insure for example, that there are safe areas and got civilians. Were working through the details on that and for the 7 days it has. But thats a priority for us. Were discussing this with these really government. Were discussing it with others. 3 sort of finding more general offices, you know, family i live was committed just by the just the u. S. On the left. The question is related to the cold of the contacts. The recent contact sense of the crisis and guys that we have seen that kata is doing well in this regard. Contact to so many countries around the United States, joe than friends and the countries. What is the color of the recent contacts and what are these context based on the uh the price is. Ready pays high and is the amount of cuts a made a lot of contacts and i also have contacts with some of my accounts a pods that we need to listen the excavation and we need to stop this whole and we need to find the do you mind to tell you and go to those as full of the aid and assistance as the rates and guys and the to see the close of the civilian cap is we work with our partners and we hope they will go back to the family is. Ready the contacts and consultations of cuts based on finding a solution to this crisis and not to escalate the crisis and not to spread the conflict and not to find the front being involved. The priority is to stop the war and to deliver the systems as an a to the needs of people and the cap disability to enter the fabulous voices the shape of how much given the condemnation from the world on how must that sack is concerned . Considering shutting down, how must bureau, are you prepared to ask the leadership to leave if your western allies demand you to do so . And mister secretary, have you ask atari to shut down the mazda of this . And if i may, mister secretary yesterday and just now you said israel has a right to defend itself, but you added that. How does that matter . And you talked about his standard that democracies should strive for even when its difficult to do so. Today israel ordered residents have gone to the city to leave and move south something un, what palestinian envoy just called the crime against humanity. But we didnt. The translation wasnt great. So the gentleman before me might have asked something similar, but let me push you a little bit more on this. How does that square . How does that order square with that standard . You mentioned, and also international law. Does the United States support this relocation . Im since you had a conversation with Prime Minister netanyahu, did you give your blessings for this move . Thank you. The question about the Certificate Office in the life now actually this Office Actually says this, this stuff thats being used as a way of communicating and a communication going to bring a decent ball. And thats the reason not to investigate the anymore. And this is the purpose of, of, of this as long as we are keeping the communication open right now and focusing on putting an end for this conflict. And this is useful best of the best, but the main, our main focus these days. Actually, now i want you to, i want to focus on the schedule. I thought im, i believe the nicest chatting with us. The subjective is how to put that in for this conference out with us get a policy in payments. Ready on how to get the costs dispatch here tomorrow. First, the 1st part of your question. Uh, let me start by saying, and i mentioned this before, but i want to repeat it. I really think a cutter for the work that theyre doing to try to help secure the release of a positive to something that you deeply appreciate. I know that other countries do as well, and its something that were actively pursuing. But ive also been making it clear in all of my conversation throughout this trip, that there can be no more business as usual with a mass murdering babies burning families to death, taking little children as hostages. These are unconscious black vitality. Every country in our judgment, these to condemn these actions is to hold them accountable. And we will continue to make that their and when it comes to providing for civilians in the guise of ensuring that they can be out of harms way and that they can have access to the support they need, the amount of target assistance, the food, the medicine water, our focus now is on helping to create se shops, and were doing that with the leading International Organizations for doing that. Engaged with israel, and were working with other countries to that, to that. And so thats where our focus is. We think this is the best way to make sure that civilians who are on in a cross bar of mazda is making and the safe and receive the assistance. So lets say im what jasmine bloomberg wrote. Mister secretary, i know the situation is or is highly charged and very fluid, but are you worried about the medium and long term consequences of what unfolding in gaza . Are you worried . The israel maybe simply retaliating in a fury because of the horrendous nature of these attacks. And might not have a medium or long term plan. And secondly, im wondering how worried are you about the 2nd front in this more iran and has blog have already made the threats of opening this new front if attacks on civilians and is, or an israeli block, 8 of guys a continues. What would the us response be if has blow out wraps up its own attacks, for instance in response to a Ground Invasion and shake mohammed in the us and israel are both struggling with this tragic and fluid hostage situation that, that the secretary was talking about. And ive looked for a cutter to help uh, navigate it. Can you tell us about your engagements with him off . And are you optimistic about getting these people back alive, giving a report that some of them may have already died and is rarely strikes on gaza. And secondly, there have been rising criticism and protests across the error of world, as is read is as real as retaliation continues. Whats your view of how is real is conducting its military response . And are you worried about the potential . Are you also worried about the potential for media and long term consequences of whats happening to be and thank you very much. First part of the question, no country, no country can tolerate having tears group come in slaughter. Its people in the most uncomfortable ways and was like that but israels doing is not retaliation. What is real is doing is defending the lives of his people. And as i said, trying to make sure that this cannot happen again. And i think any kind of base before israel has suffered would likely do the same thing. Imagine if this had happened the United States. So thats what is happening. Of course, youre, its important to think about as one might put the day after. And where this goes and i believe that is pretty much the part of the israels thinking as well as our own and the thinking of many other countries in the region. Because one thing is for sure we cant go back to the status quo. Oh, that allow this to happen in the 1st place. So that has to be part of the, the thinking in and edit. But the immediate focus, again, is on making sure that the relatives are protected, offended, and that again, this thatd be a lot to be repeated with regard to uh, a 2nd fine. You put a, yes, this is something thats, that were very focused on. We have been from day one, we want to make sure that no other entry or entity
