The only because we have are from the is where the army. Thank you so much for the hearing for that update from government on the occupied westbank. So lets just remind you of the latest developments in israels one gaza. Its just gone 2100 hours gmc right here. Youre watching out a 0. So the gaza strip has been subjected to the largest is really bombardment since the start of the war on october, the 7th. And israel is bombing residential areas in the north, on the center of the strip and the united nations. A thing of civil order has collapse. The is really a military spokesman as calling on residents of garza city to move south. But shelling is ongoing there as well and says that Ground Forces will expand operations. 2 nights were reporting from northern gaza as well. Well bring and stuff are the here, which is joining us on the line from there so far. Tell us what youve been hearing. It was frontier more uh, 5 projects. All the fear in the central there where im staying. I keep telling me that its from the, from the guys. Okay. Anyway, back to the northwest that i used are intensifying the excise now with activity. But we could see a list of tentative and its used to be like light or solid or go. We have been also receiving get more information from the journalist in the north of the gaza strip. They talk about the neutral own exchange of fire between policy and fight in google time does but use in different locations across the board. The line east of gravity didnt, but most of the gaza strip. The latest the came from goose on the heading down the mass of fish. And basically, living on who said that the brain is trying to show fake because he, by claiming that they are in control or controlling the operations across the border. He said the coming dollars they will, they will see on the hard work will see the lose of the day that i the side is a good that is out of the thing. The ongoing clash is taking place on the beach collection. We also learned that the minutes of the wing of us have been using a cordless look at your ip tank records because the coordinates, so there is no extension of the limited operations that weve mentioned before. Theres still a indication, shaw for that as well, and ground to punish, at least for the coming hours on the what cotton blog. Unlimited is the radio perturbations across the board of that line thats was confronted by its a fight in groups who exchange the fire with douglas. So how do you think this is going to play out then over the next few hours . Thats what to could you repeat the question to you . What do you think will happen over the next 2 hours . What should we be looking out for . What from a, from our experience there will be more and strikes specifically in big august the got the city and then the lower of the goals as to where the proration or the exchange of fire is taking place and normally and normally uh it wouldnt when folks exchange takes place in any place, any area that is related to intensify a slice on the to the bottom. No, we can, we can hear that they have reached june. The trinity bombardments across the border line and the eastern side of the god, the step. Okay, stuff let to let you go for an ice. Thank you for that update so far that that note is reporting for us from the north of the gaza strip. Lets now go to han eunice and bring and talk to about zoom. Hes joining us from there and hes going to give us an update on the humanitarian situation and how people are coping taught it. Yes, i think it is really attacks on the territory continue different areas and the eastern, a sick to of the go strip. What this mess have blue button and during the last hour eastern areas to break down. Im sitting here with this hot trashes that we palestinian solely to is the is with our patient groups who are trying to kerry fountain limited Ground Invasion to the church street. According to the pallet, according to the, is really a military of which was books passed and he stated that his red will expand its military round a ration in the territory. The intensifying amounts of the is really probably a on the territory give, at least knowing that israel is planning to in here to carry out the mass of Ground Invasion to the gaza strip. Nope, the palestinian scientists pumpkin fencing these attacks with different kinds of fi as a tool this currently at the bottom and continue in the eastern areas over to the yeah. And a bridge refugee camp different illuminations class. But what took over this kind of the gulf of the gaza strip, trying to give a police pigeon to the manufacturing troops. Also, a residential house was leveled to the grounds and m is that record to come . Those is a kind of thing is what killed and others. So we want to get tax also continued in the we strand areas of big la. Yes. How can they find those of the gaza strip . Now these areas are witnessing a huge compartment, this uh, these amounts of use ready for you as a president and im kind of thing you did not really experience up or out the previous conflicts that had been interrupted between garza and east belt. Now with the ongoing tax of people in palestine and oles isnt very desperate having such a growing concerned that they might lose the life that lives according to the Current Situation in the ground. There is no any kind of uh, internet connection. Oh no, uh the uh, phone networks are upcoming more available. Its important also to mentioned that all the signals in different kinds of Telecommunication Companies in the territory have been dropped to due to the is really a tax. They have district to the communications. How is and also they are destroyed at the destroyed all the Digital Communications infrastructure along the gaza strip. As the is really strikes on. The church re, uh, keeps, keeps going. The Palestinian Civilians cool. The distilled according to the palace to be administered. Both has risen to more than 5007500 kind of thing too. And weve moved down 18000 others also wounds as this number is to, is subjugated, to be increased in the coming hours. Now medical teams are facing deep of the obstruction and even quick links to access victims that you to is really mess apartment b are having different kind of restrictions of the and on that movements not only number and she to list including to the is maybe sources is really has a, has informed different of the international uh, immediate dentist is that they cannot guarantee the safety of the work is on the ground at the church who are due to the ongoing development. So it seems that theres, theres any things place in the church repast as well. It keeps bouncing. More than 2300000 citizens, even in the safe places that have been allocated forces into the north and in defense of kansas city. The thank you much sort of also is reporting for us from time you know, start as and guys are giving us an update on the situation there as he sees it on the ground. And thats the live picture from does a pretty darn because as you can see, the, the strip has been plunged into darkness. No fuel, no electricity, barely any fluid from what we understand. No water. And of course, ongoing bombardments, which have intensified in the past few hours. A groups like Doctors Without Borders and usf are also both saying that theyve lost contact with their palestinian colleagues who were on the grounds in gaza. Thats bringing list of about a whole to his the general secretary of the palestinian national, an initiative and a former, a palestinian information minister. Hes joining us from the mr. Bo to good to have you with us on now to 0. Once again. What do you think is going on and goes on . What do you think that is really started doing . Because just a few hours ago, there were reports that there could potentially be some cease fire. And the Prisoner Exchange deal between the between is real and come us that was being mediated by cuts are but now theyve intensified their bombardment on gaza. Theyve a cut communications from what we understand. So whats going on here . Okay, before i just dont do the question i want to add to a to just said about units in front of those that the listing admitted kind of live society as well as it is the crescent. And the times organization has reported the very good i have to change it over there. To whom let me tell you and im going to come to work because of the cut of all kinds of telecommunication and the attendant. And this shouldnt be known to their own world, and it is totally unacceptable as to about our lives meant to consider. Because at that time, when boom about events continue on guys, or what is happening is that he was my 2nd. And i, i think the number of casualties i mean is increasing by the minutes that youre talking about items 30000. But im still interested in cuz then the as was reported more than 7500. The listing has kind of, these are not just numbers. These are human beings, people with families, with history, who out of the vanishing now because of this is an early but a better contact. But the most important thing is that the, in the fields, whats happening is that theres an initiate of some sort. It doesnt get on to. But ition in the north of guys um the probably in other areas. And the file or the out of confronting now was thrown and get assistance from the listing of the systems. And i think whats happening, cuz the actually negotiations with fire about to have to my typing day and night technicians get another assembly absorbed with more than 2 thirds of the woods and some part of the immediate cease fire and even the materials hes fired and immediate supply of humanitarian, it does. Uh huh. But isnt it . Of course sort of fuses to implement that. And then the fact that they are losing the times that losing good money is the data. So just kinda as the report that so far could mean that the organization wouldnt fail at the moment. And the they could be at a great time to get as much as possible as they can a, for any potential a cease fire is a noun so that theyve, theyve made at least some gains because theyve been on the border with gaza for the past 3 weeks uh, threatening to go in and up until about 3 nights ago they hadnt been in the past 3 nights. Theyve done these limits and grounds incursions. Its good to be limited. This could be more, it all depends on the kind of resistance they face, and they are facing very strong resistance of the moment. Haddaway resistance, i would say, and i think or if, if they find that they could go a fed the, they wouldnt go for the month to be limited to the ground to petition. But if they cant, then they would have to do 3 discuss they would face a lot of criticism, intentionally miserable. Because if im not familiar with those that are in the army, we would, we would see what happens. But what, what i can about to most is the number of the listed in the civilian casualties. I was in goes in 2014, and i saw myself by my own eyes. What i get onto position means, in the case of fish, i yeah, the time they didnt leave any house in place. Everything was totally destroyed. And for the human being was code its i thought tons investigation. And specially that they use not only tax, but they also use out of tennessee and opportunities, the boom bottom it can be very destructive. This is whats happening. I know that it must have good in front of the whole world. And i, i ask all these companies that are supporting visitor and, and continue with this mexico objecting to us these via, by would slow you are doing that according to which the National Lawyer will allow your sense to do such a horrible thing. Its so shameful. The behavior of some wisdom, governments that continue to support it, is it an im do not to consider that the 30000. 00, but its digging into the do not also trip to the right and the thousands of by the students get this out. Also human beings and it seems for me that sort of them the laptop is there it is different from the other students. Let me tell you one last thing. Yeah, i thought the amount of them bottom of the guys are now is almost equal to them to the bottom that was thrown in here. Dont youre not doing this to come to a drawer, then youll click on a list of about ok, well, what do you think of whats happening right now with the or what happens in fonts earlier on at the Un General Assembly . Do you welcome that resolution that was, that was passed non binding . Yes. Do you think itll make any difference at this point . It would make a defense. The fact that the, the got to point a to, to, to set it up to the votes or that is our ocean, got to start, the roads is very meaningful. And of course we wouldnt come at least important that we do month. Its immediate implementation and all depends on the United States as the 9th of states, once theyre kind of forces that are demented. And if theyre not to states, once the wisdom, governments will follow them, thats what they did see what, thats what we have seen during the last 20 days. So its all in the hands of biden, who have unfortunately had his the administration on tabithas reputation. Im sort of tradition of them, any kind of administration by it. Itd be think is there any lies one time of the other and the last lie was the numbers of palestinian victims is not the critics im diminish. Do attempts has shown was the names of people who would code with their id numbers that everything goes good. Its mr. Good thursday night technicians, United Security was very clear about the fact that these are correct numbers about the fact that its a to to, to could, i am is happening to now in guys that im, it should be stopped immediately. Right. Okay, thank you so much, mr. It must have been hosting for speaking to us from around a little while. The spokesman for the is really army, it says that they will be expanding their ground operations and gaza on friday night. Maybe should feel people in addition to the topics that we carried out to me recent days before the ground falls, is eric Funding Direct save. You take this evening because the idea is acting with great false on all levels to achieve the objectives of the wall. I told them in the home as well, so ill bring in sort of height. I see joining us from us. If i is yours, lemon. Sarah. What were hearing from does is that this is according to it for some brigades that theyre saying that theyre, they foiled, then is really ground incursion into beta noon and the east stuff, but a is. And theyre also claiming that violent clauses are taking place. What are you hearing from, from your end about this report, a ground incursion thats taking place . Yeah, well, theres no actual confirmation of the instances that youve just mentioned is writing media has been quite sing palace thing and media on this one. But what we do know is that were definitely seeing effectively as rel, saying that its beefing up its full on gall. So of course, as weve seen that the pictures are completely dock um they have been switched off offline and on line with very difficult to get in contact with anyone. But what we do know is they said theyre expanding the ground defensive. That keyword there is expanding because theyre not saying its a full on Ground Invasion. They all saying it, its it, but its expanding the we, its heard from the georgia Indian Foreign minister. Sweet thing saying that this is the beginning of the war. The that theyve been promising that israel had been promising, and then his really media seems to say, no, thats not quite the situation, but its not a full on Ground Invasion. But i mean to find expands. And what we do know is that we have seen in the last few days, a few policy, sorry, as reading the tank scrolling and we saw the overnight. So yesterday, uh, we saw a soldiers moving in through the north a few days off to also the 7. 00 to 10. 00. Theyve been small incursions. Harrol that not necessarily going into deep perhaps what were going to see off to this is a much why the scale that certainly sounds that way. Usually the military, what it does is it will release those videos and images lights for roll and it doesnt do it around the time. So we arent able to confirm exactly what level were talking about. Because simply because garza has been cuts off from the outside of our outside walls and its a struggle for us even to get dots information. But what weve definitely seeing here is a change. Were seeing that there is a much heavier but involvement from the sky is the aerial bombardment. How mosse and its cassandra gate has released statement saying that the type of a miss salas, ebay using a much heavier, which we could close more casualty, more damage to the infrastructure, and the more tests were actually hearing as well. But that all reports of a large number of tests, but no one can verify that no one can confirm that including the medical services in gaza because theyre not able to reach them because the emergency number has been cut off and no one can get in touch with those in those areas, its pockets in the east were hearing as well as the north and central and across the gaza strip effectively. The other thing that with obviously going to be seeing is a step up in this Ground Invasion. Theres been a lot of questions here from the public for days on end saying whats the next . So whats the next plan . Whether its in terms of reducing those concepts, whether its in terms of military and such, and the that was also, and its been strong room is, has been discussed and the problem is benjamin. Next we have you all who came out of the bunking. Whats was reports. It is that theres a, a crack, a split, if you like, between the ministry, between the political, a patch along with the minute shes raring to go in the ready that price to move in. And then you have the is really government sorts of holding the reins a little bit, waiting to see whats going on with these mediations. And thats one of the so rewards that have been drawn by us to this, to late in this ground defensive. What were those disagreements . Sorry. So again, what was that risk driven by as well . You have the as well as minute tree thats being by top by the us. Not just in terms of money and aids for its minutes you, which always has done, but thats that pump and sending soldiers. So you have the uh, the 2 ships that was sent in the mediterranean. And we heard earlier that from the pentagon spokesman, talking about that as that stuff in it. So what its offering is routes to carry out this will on gaza. So we know that its, but the military in itself is also about 300000. 00 reserve is to all the way to um, and they keep being told is gonna happen. Its going to happen is gonna happen and it hasnt happened yet. So you have this will cabinet that was put together, especially under emergency law where they can bypass the cabinet, they can make these military decisions. It includes of course, the Prime Minister himself includes the defense minister, but it seems there is, it divides the us when that happens, what will, what will that entail . And just a couple of days ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a public speech that he made, had said that unless one thing to make this clear is that they will decide together through a consensus. And again, trying to show that there is a unity in that decision weve been monitoring local is really media to say, well thats thing. Many of them have strong sources in the government. And some of them have quotes and some senior officials saying that the government was fed top of waiting for a decision to be made in terms of mediation to get those caps. Its out of gaza, then you have the public is really popular. Thats increasingly getting frustrated, especially the families and the relatives of those that have been taken captive more than 200 people now, already protesting on this. And now theyre going to take a step further. Again, thats the plans of whether its not tomorrow be off to tomorrow, where they potentially will be blocking roads a said and step up those measures to put pressure on the government to try and bring back the people back home. All right, thank you sarah sar or 40 from occupied East Jerusalem as well. The folks on for the un secretary general stuff on to our x as a needs and guys are growing more critical. The humanitarian system in garza is facing a total collapse with unimaginable consequences for more than 2000000. 00 civilians. As the bombing intensifies needs are growing ever more critical and colossal, about 500. 00 trucks per day. Were crossing into gaza before the concert. Theyll hostilities began in recent days, an average of only 12 trucks per day have been able to go in despite needs being far greater than they were at any time before. The secretary general welcomes a growing global consensus for humanitarian, paused in the conflict, and he repeats his call for humanitarian cease fire. The unconditional release of all hostages and the delivery of life saving supplies at the scale needed misery is growing by the minute without a fundamental change that people have got that will face an unprecedented avalanche of human suffering. Everyone must assume their responsibilities. This is a moment of truth. History will judge us to all the head of the Government Media Office in garza spoke to as just a hospital, and he strongly denied israels accusations of how mazda is using the hospital as a shield for its tunnels. No efficiency and the neo about 15, that hospital compound is home to more than 60000 displays best and thousands of victims. And so, and patients and thousands of medical crews, in addition to the relatives of the victims, along the way that presented of dozens of International Media outlets is very scared because it proved that the phones and the goose and raised by these, right. If your patient policies are fab rotated, they are targeting the medical facility that is providing a lifeline to the victims of theres a, the president s well attainment doctor as has entered gaza through the off of crossing thats on the border with egypt and emetics. And the red cross there were expected to support relief operations. 10 trucks are delivering medicine food on the water u. N. And the red cross are fueling for the immediate delivery of fuel. Cell cleveland advised me to some fellow some of them to jennifer. This is the 5th convoys of relief. We have a contract to buy the egyptians earlier today to head to the crossing to prepare 10 trucks headed to the International Red cross messages. This, whatever is delivered, theres only a drop in the ocean. Was sending an s o s message within 24 hours. The red cross will not be able to function more than 16000 people, most the children, women, and elderly, were forcibly displaced outputs hospitable. If we failed, we lose thousands of lights, we h for the immediate delivery of fuel without fuel, we cant move these trucks, distribute the hospitals calling desperate. We call into National Communities to ok to stop, move disasters earlier. My colleague rob mathis and spoke to him, id want gilani, hes the director general of Palestine Red Crescent Society and im a law. And he spoke to us about losing contact with his stuff which seems a awards and concerns. One of my colleagues we have last told to contact with them about 2 hours ago, and we are witnessing the intense boom bottom even heavy of the in the last 2 lights, the just before we broke connections with our colleagues, that where most of them vitamins on both phosphate at the same time units in our cause. And we really streamed a stream the words uncle sam for all or was it for teams . Not also for the washer cunningham and hospice, and 12000 people who love and help us if you guys didnt guys associate you not with us. And so whether its 3 legs, 3, we want, i mean, apart from the huge stadium catastrophe that has been happening to sort of the worlds eyes. The last few days. We are now facing a total darkness. We dont know whats happening. We know there is an intern certification at the bottom and then maybe even a ground. Imagine why the hospitals about 300000 people, the inc. And its a very, as in garza and then all of the hospitals, austin parks with people who i should study for safety in these hospitals. We have been reporting that there has been a trickle a few monetary nay. Thats been making his way into gaza. Has any of that being of any use to the hospitals and medical centers . Any of it getting there . Are you seeing any fuel that will help you keep working with, with regards to the, to the trucks that are coming in from, from rough, from youtube will respond to the receive them we distribute the way we stopped at distribution to the shop as a few days ago we had some assigned to the hospitals, but they, they not, as i said before, the drop in the ocean, the trickling does not do much. But even with this insignificant come all the of to go to the north. So theyre not allowed to go to gods a city to on ship all speaker, what do you need . Mostly, those actions, medical supplies, and medicine. Don quotes foster comes to the people who i should think that nothing just going to the north because we were told that difficult boys move through that all they wouldnt be hit. There is no. The green light to bed has no permits to go to them or not all those agencies a payment to go to them. And as we are the only the only agency besides the costly funds that student will put anything. He got the safety of the job. I mean, we are lacking mainly of course, the fuel, which was our biggest concern to the, to the, to the loss of communications. We dont know what in the lives of our team does. It guarantees the people who are something were really scared and we are shaking to the car to here for this to come on the war about the drum, the drum page, it was lifted closer donation for the 2 millions or billions or in gaza and who have know where to go. It is really shocking. A local journalist, i know some cities, some this eye witness reports from the north of gaza as the attacks continued on the for all of the, all i need from a put on file. We are facing heavy rates from the fight objects of these radio occupation in a continuous manner for the last 4 hours. This has resulted in the killing and entering of a number of people. As also continues showing an all communications being cut. The internet is completely cut off in the north of the console strip. Besides the difficulties in retrieving the bodies of the dead, different places in north casa, as difficulty in disseminating the picture of whats happening in the north, because the street thats resulted in us not being able to show the massacre that is taking place right now, by the is really occupies medical crews, still transferring injured and dead, and causing women and children from different places in the north of casa, the bombing continues against civilians in the north, there are many, many injured medical crews are struggling to reach everyone is really accurate. Its just attacked, building across from the Indian Nation hospital and destroyed to flows and not building kona domestic has taken place in northern guys that amount of flu cold. As you can hear, another attack next to the Indian Nation hospital and it is the the, and now another attack across, i mean the nation hospital as well as israel, has intensified as bombardments of gaza. There have been protests which have been erupt, thing and they occupied westbank. Thousands of palestinians are marching on the streets of what im on law. And time us is called on palestinians and the occupied westbank to mobilize in support of gauze. Um, it also words the International Community to take immediate action to stop israels ongoing attack. Well get more on this from the guy, but he and shes joining us from the adults in the occupied of westbank. So does that tell us about the protests that have been taking place there in supports of whats happening, garza, we are looking at the light fixture now from gaza, in fact, complete and utter darkness from the strip knew that. And also, because we understand that there have been for palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours in the west bank. Yes, the protests are intensifying and spreading to different towns and villages across the occupied west bank. I was just looking at pictures of some of the products that are taking place in total cut in as well as a p aware of reports of confrontations between these really forces and the palestinian protesters. Weve been hearing about an injury and coping the as well as an injury in nablus, in the proof this that weve been speaking about in the last hour. As you mentioned, that he does an intense situation already with the okay. Part westbank in the last 24 hours then indeed the overnight last night weve been covering the news. All these really reads jeanine as well as other palestinian cities, including a co pay deal with one man has lost his life at the 3 others have been killed in geneva. And one of those will have been killed has been more by the g need, but still the, and as one of the field fights are, isnt one of their field leaders. But all in all, when you talk about that, thats indeed occupies westbank. Some are because were talking about the population that isnt largely on our and some of those was being killed are just either carrying a rock or ive been attacked by is really suck there. Is will basically just being in their lives or prove this thing. So you can imagine the states extensions in like of the rolling rates in light of the density density of these really reads in violence against false sinews as well as the violence of india. This radius of those who have been getting more and more access to arms fighting against a large need on arm population shared the west. All right, thank you. Any type of aim that updates a is from the im a lot in the occupied westbank. As you can see, the flashes there on your screen that is the light fixture from gaza, where theres almost a can fleets black out on the strip. And theres almost a complete communications, a blackout as well. Lets bring in a summer, bon jovi dishonest, joining us from assemble a summer. There has been large solidarity protests where you are as well. Tell us about those. Well, as weve been watching those terrific scenes come out of guns in the last few hours, thousands of people who have got the across turkey. In sporadic protests, the largest one behind us in front of the very concept here in the city of if simple people have been coming in the last few hours that ive been hearing. The news that coming out from this feed specialist on a diety show their anger to ben, what they called their frustration for the conduction of not just the country, but it is dire. Most of the world and these protests have continued throughout the friday. Let me move out of the frame so you can actually see for yourself that these protest is standing outside be, is really conflict, something slogan in favor of palestinians in favor of gaza against israel, and also urging the government to do more. There being firing speeches here by various leaders who been talking about how the is nomic world needs to come together. The problem with them is across the world need to show solidarity, not just with birds and protests, but in actions as well. And that is the scene that weve seen throughout friday across most the majority countries. Very often, friday prayers for testers came out show solidarity and they were sermons. The images are say that it is not just protesting in this feed that they need to do, but they need to do it with their actions as when to boycott is made the products to come out and demand action from the governments as well as you can see, it is a past midnight here in assembled, and the number of people and the jobs that have been, weve been hearing it continue to grow a yes, im a somebody for just a moment because what were showing on our screen is right now is the light fixture from the stumble, its not all with just reporting about the pro palestinian process taking place there. And then you can see soonest as well a denmark and yep, between us and denmark at this, this time. So people coming out and protests in support of the people of god. So lets go back to assign a bunch of a and so some of you were talking about the inaction or what the, what the for testers accuse say is in action when it comes to the whats happening in gaza. So what would they like their government to do what theyre being demanding that they get involved directly. They stop the vitamins this stop the modeling, they do all the possible solutions that they these governments can find in this as being the case. And it, and the common demand that i was in jordan a few days ago, very we heard from protest is that they were actually asking people, asking us even children industry, thats how can you go about your normal lives. Been thousands and thousands of people that are being killed and try to find, how can you not do whatever youve gotten . How can you still be in your products is and residential buildings calling on events rather than taking complete action. And this is being, the demand here is when the people, im not sure that they know what they, these government will do. But they were calls on the turkish government to enter disability to get involved here. And its tumble forgets this something that the defense of turkey starts and then puts referring to the actual most compound. So theres, this is something that is being demanded by angry protest is all over. Whats the majority comes of youve seen those numbers and gammon in jordan. Even impact the opposite side. The advanced people have been gathering a lot of rhetoric has from varioUs Governments has changed events. If you look at this country, president s have the one i was condemning both sides and asking for an association of hostilities 2 weeks ago. But just a couple of days ago, he called from us, which i have been re fi devices and he wanted them to come out and support his people is when you come out and support off of sydney that there is a major rodney that this government has plans in, in the less than 24 hours from now that it is expected that more than a 1000000 people from across the political spectrum will join forces. Those come out in the numbers and choice on the down at the end, the anger against what is happening in gods all right, so somebody will keep us across that for the time being. Thank you so much. So once again, thats a live pictures from assemble where there are pro garza protests as well as denmark and on to this as well. And there been other rallies right across them, at least in support of palestinian. So over and e m and thousands gathered in the Northern City of mount f, as well as in the capital sent off their condemning israels war and gaza as well as the killing of civilians. You heard a sound i mentioned in jordan just a moment ago because there were crowds there that were rallying in the capital on mine. Many were fate waiving the palestinian flags and they denounced israels attacks on garza as well. Now the white house is saying that they will continue discussions with israel about the manner of any ground offensive. So an american aircraft, Carrier Strike group has been deployed to the Eastern Mediterranean and around 900. 00 forces to them, at least. But the pentagon Spokesman Says that the u. S. Is focused on preventing a larger conflict. A look, im not gonna get into hypotheticals. And as i made very clear, we have no interest in getting into a conflict with iran. Again, what were focused on is Regional Security and stability in the region. Were focused on defeating isis in our rec, and syrian supporting our partners there. But if and when our forces are attacked, we will take necessary steps to protect them and send a strong deterrent message. I dont have any new deployments to announce at this time is you know, we have position the u. S. S. Ford Carrier Strike group in the Eastern Mediterranean. Were sending the u. S. S. I, as in our Carrier Strike group to the Us Central Command region. In addition to deploying approximately 900 forces into the middle east to provide air defense capabilities. Importantly, those forces are not going to israel. They do not have anything to do with the situation there. They are for force protection purposes and again to provide us with options to defend our forces and send a deterrent message. Again, i want to emphasize our focus here is on preventing a broader regional conflict. In addition to providing military capabilities, we are actively communicating with our partners in the region to seek advice and their thoughts on how best to ensure that it does not wide into a broader conflict. Appreciating all the expertise and insight that are partners throughout the middle east have in terms of these types of situations. So again, right now the situation is contained with israel and home us and we plan to keep it that way. Life picture, once again from guys are aware of the, the strip has been plunged into darkness. This as some sort of military operation is taking place. Right now we have with us our military analyst at the time. Now whos joining us from a root. Hes a retired Lebanese Military general whos in our lecture on middle east geo politics. Thanks for speaking to us. Um, so when israel says that its Ground Forces are expanding operations, tell us, tell us what you understand not to be and what you think is going on right now and does that, because from what we see from the light fixture, we cant see much, theres almost a complete blackouts. So expanding means that they are, they go to the previous ones. The temple is different and they, they have done to incursion land incursions. What is new now is from the see that is a production from the seat motor over the intensity of bombardment is very high and more of the cuts of then submit and communication and the black out over all of the guys. Its like trying to build up the through the situation. It needs a 2nd, something, or attacking some of the lot of these needs that they are trying to pin the and how much is forces and disperse these forces. And what did he let think . How much guessing where the main task would be in the future . What kind of resistance do you think that they will face from how my son of cassandra gates . I mean, how much ive been preparing this for since long time ago, they have really hurting in 20142009. I think that this rate is not giving now how much the war and the better there have been to put it fading for the other things to make what we call the tactic of surprises. Since the strategic sort of price is, is no more in this space. Everything is edu. So the thing to go by phase is now what is. Busy the weakest point in go inside. I think the data focusing on does as it should be, considering does as the center of gravity, what every single time us until the start start, especially the need to ship out of station over there. So by bombarding dod, thanks to open up the roads. However, i think how much has it leverage over the day . Because the issues of the situation aware of the situation, the place that being there to put it, pending the time for this thing, for any possibility or any worse Case Scenario as to the flood of the us. Then there was some comment that was made by the is really military spokesperson, who also said that the operations are aimed at creating a quote unquote, better conditions on the ground and us that this does not constitute a full ground and vision of gaza. What do you think he means by better conditions on the grounds . It to me is to get accustomed to the situation with the environment because when your, when your. Busy either destroying or cause the environment, the platform changes, the bank at the bank of the time of these changes. Its like get custom more information mode instead of just motor gathering and then opening up the way for less, less a cash efficient that i mean, when you go into the urban work said select if i think and i have and a Court Advantage is for how much in this area, so its like a bit but a but it, but ation for the ground supposed to be like shaping the ground for the major. The 1st one, however we, im not really maybe he is like a deceiving come us maybe wont see any major the ones. Its like the funding affiliation in different places and really creates what. Ready was the say, you dont fix it and say this is what we will, we are going to do Something Different and goes up what, how much is not really the view that in this area. Do you think from what were seeing this evening happening . And also what were looking at right now in our screen on our screens and with these ground operations limited, as they sound it was leave to more fighting, along with has been not along the border with lebanon. What do you think the reaction or for the bundle is going to be they had said in the beginning of this war, the ground is Ground Invasion was it was a red line. But what were seeing here, and what the is really military spokesperson said, was, this was not a Ground Invasion, or maybe the other plane get both spot is, i mean has, well, i would go and do something bigger. Uh, according to the escalation and guys, uh, is this, how much is the thing to distort the guys uh, as well, like, im not to be a stay aside, but however, uh, what would be the vision of the music ation. Weve heard the. Busy spokesman of defense that going on, you said we are trying to deter months, states at that end date, access to intervene and all of this. Its like the amount of things that he did starting that product isnt that easy on time, but easy for texting for something type of operation. But if you dont put asian love to the level of the lesion in a flash, or they get an escalation, original original or okay, well leave it there in this time. No, thank you for your time. Thank you for speaking to us from the roots. Well lets bring in particle hanging to joining us from washington to see for more on the us as role in the conflict. So my last guess from a ruth at this time that was just saying that the us is trying to defer a other actress from joining in the war and trying to prevent the regional conflict to just talk to us about what the us as role has been up until this point to well, the us, i think, is very interested in your very good interview with general ryder, depending on spokesperson, he really tried to make it clear that this isnt as rarely fight this us is not involved. Weve heard the same from National Security Council Spokesman john kirby, but i think its one thing to say those things and then look at the actions on the other hand. So right after october 7th, we saw the us presidency is going to send munitions gear, a bar, and the weapons for the laser, for the dome system that hes gonna send those immediately. They got in, but at a day we saw the us president fly to israel, give a big hug. Department, mister Benjamin Netanyahu, and really pledge his unwavering support. He didnt talk about the palestinians for days. We do know that the us said several generals, including a really respected 3 star general, who battled info, illusions as your guest was talking about. St. Combat is the most difficult. Zeroes, deadly for any military force a to you to conduct, especially when the person youre fighting its their home territory is hes he mentioned and then hes heard by and come out and say one and 14000000000 dollars and additional aid for israel. And it partly has not called for cease fire. What weve heard from the white house is when the hostages are out, then, then we can possibly think about a cease fire. So, you know, they say behind the scenes and this is in the mantra from the, by the ministration from all across the Us Government is that they expect israel to follow the rules of law the laws of war. But they dont say is when israel violates the rules of law or the laws of war, they are in fact, violating them. Collective punishment is a war crime, cutting off food water and energy is a war crime. So they say they shouldnt do that. But when they do that, they dont say that theyve done it. If that makes sense, right, so potty, what are bidens people saying behind the scenes . This has been the most interesting develop and i think its very notable that it came on this day. So most of the time when the bite and administration to really any us president ial administration wants to send the message about israel, they do it with leaks to the media. So were seeing reports, theyll start to come out the 1st one from the washington post. That 5 officials within the violent ministration, unnamed, of course, they are encouraging israel not to do a broader conflict, broader invasion that they say they should do, bombing and sending some special forces to try and target the loss leadership. And usually they do that because they want to send the message to the american public. This is what were pushing for, but they dont say it publicly because then they can deny. Busy and also when israel or if is really ignores them, then it doesnt look like theyve just been completely ignored. This is definitely to me knowing washington, this is them sending the signal, making it clear what their position is that they dont want an overall Ground Invasion of gaza and they list some really interesting things. We talked about going to a meeting of the war cabinet coming out of alarm to more than ever before that this could lead to a regional conflict. Obviously, something that the president doesnt want, especially if he wants to be re elected. They said they doubt it after hearing from israel that their plan to eliminate me getting the hostages. That would be much more difficult if there is a full scale invasion of gauze. Busy and they said they would also complicate the ability to get 8 into gaza and also just the desktop, it would dramatically increase the death toll of a pass to the and so civilians and also israeli soldiers. That said, notably, and i think there were some who are usually critical of the terms of the job. Im for this. When asked, he said he didnt believe that those were the true number of dead and civilians in gaza. So he just didnt trust the numbers and left him a lot of people i from his own. Its hard. You said that cross the line. All right party. Thank you so much. All those potty speaking to us from washington. And you may have heard in the background, the bombardment, the continued bombardment of the gaza strip, and thats the life picture where the bombardment sizes were st continues, particularly were hearing in the north of the strip funds this as the military spokesman of israel, a few hours ago so that is really Ground Forces were quote, expanding operations and as you can see from the life picture, the gaza strip is experiencing a near total blackout. Its, its in darkness. Its also experiencing a communications blackouts. And weve heard from health and who monetary and agencies or warning about palestinians across the territory, have been plunged into darkness as, as we can see from the light fixture from gaza. Well, the World Food Program is also saying that 9 if its trucks have entered jobs us since the crossing was opened on saturday. But it did warren that to reach the 1000000 palestinians in need. Then 40 trucks a day need to enter gaza. The wsp says that is provided emergency supplies of town to now and bred to 475000 displace palestinians in un shelters. I bid its a far as the senior middle east spokesperson for the World Food Program and she describes some of the challenges for the teams on the grounds in gaza. It definitely does is dropping with a lot of basic supplies and cdm fuel shortages. Thats really going to disrupt and bringing or humanitarian operations into how food and water are running out. And people are facing the condition. And also the outside even of got the endorsed come conditions of the to the leasing every day and food is running short. So without the additional fuel supply and or so with the why we went to the opening of the woods, the crossing point last week. I think the number of too many studies a because the trip cuz inside guns up on the east coast boys has been really very limited. So its a very difficult situation. Yeah. Now then we are able to, to, thats, we send so far is like probably less than a 100000. 00 people. So that, that a list they compact to the, you know, the size of the needs that we have is i got that. So it does work for us to be able to provide assistance to keep it in the scale of a patient to provide food for 1000000 people. We need 40 trucks of w, a feed from one to enter every day for this one, the cost in point. So we definitely, its not enough. We need more of, you know, what the opening we need much more, you know, and these products needs to be stated that it needs to be much, many, many more than the 20 trucks of every day. We have with us side one bush auto. Once again, hes all to 0 senior political analyst joining us by sky from lunch. Im or want just give me your assessment as to this unfolding situation and, and best reporters ground limits and ground incursions, taking place in gaza. Thats been plunged into complete darkness. Uh yes, uh the the south side bombings in the dark. Uh is um, solid sink. Everything else that solves the gas solid thing, those that the united nations, that sort of thing. Those demonstrating and out of been washed in capitals. Because theres, theres not listening to anyone and there are 2 major problems today. One is right, is conducting a masters on a massive scale killings for an industrial scale. Theres an absolute genocide going on in cars are today in front of the world to see in think so is there. Busy is defined the world now this evening. We know its defined the International Community as a whole uh, by continuing to bomb garza with the direct explicit support of western powers, especially the United States. And thats why we send it to a good number of your guests, not to be the spectrum from dependent on what really want theres. And thats my 2nd problem here. If the United States has learned anything, this is a very, very smart and capable country with, with probably the most capable of people. But its capacity for stupidity is unprecedented. 20 years ago they did the same thing god doing now. Based on it the same way theyre spinning it now. Listening to the pentagon spokesman, today just like to speak to them before the 2003 war on iraq. This is the us versus ben is 3, i guess the terrorist is the one i guess, a good again, steve on and we are one of the big piece. Let me just jump in 11 and ask you about, let me just ask you about the sort of Global Public opinion, because okay, we hear this assertion from countries like the United States. As youre pointing out, that israel has the right to defend itself. And israel has the right to self defense, but there, there does seem to be a shift amongst a Global Public opinion that allow me just to tell you the statistic from the use of pull over in the u. K. For example, suggesting that 70 percent of people are 76 percent of people are in favor of a cease fire. So would you say that there is, there really is a shift when it comes to a Global Public opinion as well as social media, and that israels monopoly on the narrative is somewhat broken. It has to be changing the 1st 20 days. And after the 7th of october, we were almost living in mccarthy. Its times when whats the governments where basically panic flags that so that is demonstrations for products times panic, flags. Why would that come to the bad f at a signal flag when its actually your present justice . Definitely to present that or anything else to present just as people search for freedom. In the beginning, the media was storing the line of the governments to govern much less tracking down on, on process and freedom of speech. But this time who so as you say that the Public Opinion or at least a good spot to the Public Opinion a week and, and could not stand that massacre support that can face in guys are basically your say not in our main one. Whats the powers . Whats the leaders to be completely in the genocide thats going on because theres more and more people once you sign it, as youve stated 70 percent of the country, 65 percent in other countries, more and more people want peace. They want to see fine, but the government, this is, the governments are giving is right, a big given the green light, the shooting it from criticism and from the consequences or the, its actually theres a real shift going on, not only between north and south, not only between the west and the rest, but theres actually a choosing between west and Public Opinion and weston governors. Okay. My one, thank you so much for the time being. So well take a short break in just a minute or so. But lets just show you once again the life picture from gaza where it has been plunged into darkness. Is really military bombardments. There is, there it goes. It continues quite intensively over the past few hours, rebec interest in the export. 2023. The fascination a joint unless to discover a better world expo 2023 minutes the world slow down, we stand for as homes with tips of global nickel reserves.

Were bringing you continuing coverage of the war and gaza. Lets remind you of all the latest developments and israels war on the strip. So guys that has been subjected to the largest as really bombardments since the start of the war on october. The 7th. Israel is bombing residential areas in the north and the center of the strip, the united
