Transcripts For ALJAZ NEWSHOUR 20240702

A Helicopter Crash on sunday. Who do live in the accomplishments are wrong, and punishment drills, rhino holes, military exercises. Just days after taiwan swears in a new leader, the welcome to the news our the World Health Organization has made an urgent appeal to is really forces over the storming of the im out of the hospital in gauze, all the w h o g says a 140 medical staff patients under civilian companions were inside that hospital when it was rated by is really soldiers. The hospital is located in theres a bad yet refugee come to address gabriels as calling for the protection of patients and Health Workers inside the hospital and safe passage for their evacuation. The officer a spoke with one of the doctors as he made the journey away from the hospital, a good number to the 1st hispanic either when we were at the hospital. As usual, we never left at all. We never even thought of quitting on our patients and the injured people. 4 days ago, we were taken by surprise when these really military besieged the hospital and went out for them. They would not allow any one inside. We stayed to care for the lives of our patients, gun in the box, out of money. If we had 14 patients, we continued to give medical care to him up. Then today at 3 oclock and he is really army force, nearly all of us from the hospital. The patients remained inside with for medical staff and to paramedics to care for them. How do you, all of us have been ordered to leave the hospital, keep walking towards the watch cause we are walking to, we reach a safe area and to find shelter. We want to reach a safe place at the shelter of the medical staff to remain that out of hospitals since october 7th, until now they never left and now their homes are destroyed and they have nowhere to go outside and just need to add that we have sent several appeals to the w h o to the red cross, and to our partners with Doctors Without Borders to intervene to protect the patients because they all promised to intervene and to talk to the Occupation Forces to prevent targeting the hospital patients and not to target the medical staff, so awesome, but i havent seen anything done. Whats the model to pick up them and have them . I can go ahead and share it from here, from this street, by appeal to all International Organizations and all medical related officials, especially the w h o, calling upon them to intervene instead of to protect what remains of the hospital patients in the hospital and the medical staff who refused to leave and continue to care for those patients here, you must, will bring in florida about as always. Joining us from dated by law in central garza to tell us what exactly is happening as an i was a hospital tada as well as the state of other hospitals across the strip at this moment. Well the reason basically hospitals in the medical sector, really one of the basic tenants in, in yeah, whos military long thats aiming to completely to, um, destroy the medical sector to make it completely out of service. Um and the ongoing on pacific military offensive of the territory is weve been hearing from medics in the north of this trip. In particular in allowed the hospital. They have been forced by the east where the military took me from the hospital and to no longer remain providing a medical services for in get people as a part of the ongoing military campaign on definitely a refugee camp. Now i was a hospital to stop close from the camp, but its responsible for providing medical treatment for vintage resulted from ongoing at pruitthealth that you should know specifically as an ongoing get tax on that very densely populated area. Does emetics, in fact, have been a flood leading the hospitals, the ours to an impass of doctors and medical workers, installing the hosp to refuse to sleep on to the Occupation Forces to bring them confidence as in order to sleep. The wounded people on april 14th as a medic, some more the people managed to do previously, and they are in a very desperate need for medical assistance. And im sure that its that can help them to get from the place that they are right now tend to be a military base for these very all man, similarly is come out with one hospital, which is only far away from that hospitals. One kilometer it means that there is a full medical seat the and getting post on those hospice once of the north of district as they are disease of injury. And even victims starts to line to the ground in the streets of the value of refuge account. We dont do any kind of rescues operations. See the apply the risk to as an emergency. Workers who by the medics who are ruffling, to reach to that location due to the is ready on getting developments and the existence of the minute 2 troops, the product. So bring us up to speed with whats happening when it comes to the attacks across the gaza strip as well as the fighting thats on the grounds. Well, it is quite hard to say that one area is not coming under the east verify us the entire trip has been completely subjected to the is valley area in gland development. And in particular, we see that there is a gradual expansion of the fighting. Now to reach to the central areas of rafael. This is what the defense minister cologne has been stating before that they are so determined to expand the manager with ration and confrontations now and roughly how putting to why, why this is all taking place in your net refuge account, which is one of the central neighborhoods of roughly the district, but at the same time we have been hearing from low codes that the is rarely minutes report hope to trends have sit fully at 2 fishermen posts on the coastal shore of roof district. That is very adjacent to buddhist with egypt. And this is a part of the ongoing, systematic mandatory campaign in the city as more residential buildings, what tungsten were at least 6 palestinians have the result of killed in the past, south city of a rough spot. Similarly, in other parts of the strip of more than 50 fund company as have been shown sofa in guns, a city where most residential buildings, if actuation senses. What targeted as military attacks have been carried out by the is by the maneuvering troops. And even within the past couple of hours, the is very only has announced officially a new and vague agent of they talk to in town by one of the big military brigades as the now the numbers of men to treat the bridges, working inside the goal is to have had to reach to 10, that means that the is very minute, 3 is resuming the flight. Taking the bus maturity of clauses took areas. Ok, thank you so much. Data abrazzo reporting from didnt, but often central garza of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government has bounds also 0 in israel. So thats why were reporting from the jordanian capital online, and well bring it in wrong con, whos sending by for us from there. And were on uh, what are you hearing about how much pressure there is at this point on the left on yahoo government to restart negotiations as well. Theres a little bit of background to all of this of the bring them Home Campaign, who is the Advocacy Group that advocates on behalf of the families of the captives released a heavily edited video within the last 24 hours. It shows 5 female soldiers being taken captive by him. Ask them then the how of camp military base. Now the bring them Home Campaign released this video deliberately with one specific goal in mind to try and put pressure on the wall cabinet to resume the negotiations over the captive. And it worked to that video went viral. Is there anything anybody was really discussing on the late night talk shows and its oils in newspapers this morning . Probably. So Benjamin Netanyahu and the little cabinet simply had to listen to these writing public for ones on this particular issue. So what theyve done is theyve pushed uh, the negotiating team to go back and try and come up with a new draft. Now the was already dropped in place. Theyve been several drops in place to try and get these captives out and get palestinian Prisoners Released as well. But its always full of the very last head of now. Its going to be interesting to see if the negotiate has, can actually push a mass towards a deal because a mass has been very, very clear that has to be either a temporary spot or a more permanency side. That something that the israelis dont want to do. They want to carry on the war on garza, but they wont, these caps is released as well. So its going to take some time. But this comes as direct pressure from the bring them Home Campaign. And thats interesting, lets see how much more price a this group can actually puts on them to actually get this deal signed. And if this deal is something thats Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his wont cabinet, can actually swallow. So lets see what happens in the coming days, all right, and wrong. Thank you for that update on my mind. Once again, everyone is having to report from my mind because Benjamin Netanyahu has governments has bound alger 0 from forwarding in this room, in the military wing of how much has released the video of what it says is the killing of 3 is really soldiers in the gaza strip on wednesday. It shows snipers targeting a group of soldiers. Several times that attacked took place and made her known in northern gaza. Is where the army has not confirmed data. Since the grounds invasion began at the end of october, the military house confirmed the killing of 282. 00 soldiers. After more than 7 months of war, israel has still not achieved it, stated goal of eliminating from us this months. All fears, bottles in jamalia, in northern gauze, all off to the is really army returned to areas. It had previously declared free of palestinian fighters. It says how boss has re group there. And the us base new site, politico reports only 30 to 35 percent of him. Us fighters who were part of the group before october. The 7th, ive been killed about 65 percent if its tunnels are still intact. Thats according to Us Intelligence. It also says us officials are concerned that how much has been able to recruit thousands of fighters during the war. And the us defense secretary lloyd austin has criticized israel for failing to prevent from us from retaking areas. William laurence is a professor for International Relations at the american university. He says the us and israel disagree on the military strategy in gaza. Right from the beginning, there hasnt been much agreement between the us and uh and israel. You may remember that its sent in its commander from the most sol opperation seeing me most. Or maybe its the most similar recent military operation by the us in which the us managed not to kill a lot of iraqi civilians and purge isis from uh, from a rack. And or at least the urban areas of a rack and most of a rec, and israel is basically didnt take that, that strategy to heart. And while they do have mechanisms to avoid killing civilians didnt implement their own policies either and ended up by killing you know, at least 16000 civilians by their own admission from probably many more. And so theres a huge disagreement between the us and israel on strategy. Now, the us, as you probably know, is withholding heavy bonds, withholding intelligence not supporting that i for operation other way. Because the us both on the intelligence side and on the military strategy side doesnt agree with israels approach to defeating him. Us, even though the us agrees to some degree in the idea of how much no longer governing guys a, it really believes the strategy is all wrong. 30 p. N nation, spain, norway, and ireland. Evan allens the recognition of an independent palestinian state. Its another victory on palestine long journey to obtain full statehood and a deepens, israels isolation. Other european nations have indicated their willingness to follow suit for the march reports santa, for like more than a century off the island want its own recognition as an independent state. Irish Prime Minister simon harris, drew explicit power, allows with palestine. Our message to the free nations of the world was a key for International Recognition of our independence, emphasizing our distinct national identity, our historical struggle, and our rice to Self Determination and justice. Today we use the same language to support the recognition of palestine as it stays the hold on israel is minutes, reaction and gaza has killed more than 36000 people and destroyed much of the territories infrastructure. Bolden, 3 decades off to the signing of the quotes designed to strengthen a 2 state solution and negotiated in also no ways current Prime Minister said recognizing palestine would support a peaceful solution up to so much violence on my sensor. All publicity in the recognition of palestine will support motor. It forces the retreating in a protracted and cruel accomplishment. This is an investment in the only solution that can bring. Lasting peace in the middle east. Spanish, rita, petro sanchezs publicly criticized as well for its actions in gaza. The seeing he said, of a humanitarian catastrophe. He single level. One thing to me is that the Prime Minister netanyahu has no peace project, the palestine fight in the terrace group. How mazda is legitimate, unnecessary, after the events of october, the 7th, but nothing yahoo is good, and so much pain, and so much destruction of so much runcle in augusta, that the viability of the 2 state solution is in danger. Complimentary pools was the same, was sent as a solution for the store. The process was simple. And next tuesday, the 28th of may spring will approve its call instead of ministers. The recognition of the state of palestine. But students and incumbents in may just spanish cities say they expect concrete x and above the symbolic announcements. Some of the, okay, these are empty. What it does is no good to recognize that kind of city and state. You continue to send arms to israel and a lot of the un recently the United States. So we started an attempt to thomas and state recognition. Let the under this move in europe is ultimately political, no practical. It has still elicited a strong response from israel. Its Foreign Ministry says it will withdrawal res, im pass. It is from all into know rate as ability it did from spain in december, a and hard, right . National security minister, its him up and give it said these decisions ultimately rewarded the actions of a mass on october 7th. And you know, j t, y only the countries did recognize the palestinian state today giving a prize to the how much come on those to the mood risk to the abuse. And id say we will not allow even a date for that. Im not allowed to publish can actually, i think the customers are with seats fund negotiations. The guys are going nowhere right now. Slots simple like decisions announced at a distance may make few concrete changes in the lives of civilians. Quotes at the center of this conflict in a month out of data thats. Im bringing. Luciano is that guy who is an associate professor of golf politics at katara university. Welcome to alta 0. So this has been a tough week for israel hasnt, as i mean 1st there was the icy c seeking arrest warrants for the Prime Minister as well as the defense minister. And then you have 3 major european capitals announcing the recognition of the state of palestine. How isolated do you think is israel on the International Stage at this point where it is becoming more isolated than ever before . But we have to remember the, the Science Field has religion with 163 countries, a or 160. 00, more or less. And from those, most of them the over the big over nice policy um is probably not react in this way. And the problem is, space few kansas compared to this symbolic sisters into excess of withdrawing the robust all over a copy of relations or acting in the way that the south africa cut our indeed in the i c d and i to see. So eh, there is a still, a lot of things that can be done in terms of pressure at east right under pressure. Also, youd have to space to push more a strategy as far as the United States keep protecting you start, lets get between the Citizens United nations. It goes down to the present in the international court. And this regarding any action or symbolic action or action. Thank you. My beautifully and contest, it would not be enough to press so it and i, but it seems that this a media that was really so yes, so they produce much more reaction to the that then who woman done that at the pressure. But this with you from outside. So i still think that even though is more, i should i did that before. Much more things can be done from the think about the care or elaborate on that a little bit. Its, i mean, you talk about more pressure. What sort of steps can be taken, and obviously the United States as a country that has the most leverage over israel. But what about europe and nations . They have some leverage to them. Exactly. I mean, the end they, germany, u. K. There are, comes with a, b, i have been criticized heavy to be to speak still a set of web us to this for as report to that a fort worth for the. And now, even though they have been discussing how to, ag and discuss this indefinitely, if they they, they cause how to do so, the ripples are using appropriate weight. So the rest of the but as far as this is not the challenge, it really is right. We never felt when our feet of that the on the we have the pressure from the up and hardness. Most of the, in the, the how to start basically relations with that with the side. Thats what ive had this for it. Really interesting for the space. A, i dont think its fine with feel much more pressure if they, with the muscle or from spain, of course is not a good thing for using them onto. As you appear in guns, we have they have really somebody said, but i dont see that this is enough. There should be more stronger statement from the north, not state than the actual from european union, but be meeting as a bit of differences between borrego right on the, on the line. So theres no, it come on, come on perception and unfortunately is i keep repeating that spitting that was would, by equation of socialist part unless this policy. But we know that they pop without party. Im books, they have to have a different approach. Eh, this depends on which ruling every country it may happen that in the next legislative at the popular part, the unbox for the country and they will change the decision about like over something about us by the same having we, there was anything that really changed drastically the position supporting is right after 60 years of permanent support for emergency enough to defy this thing and costs based on maybe historic all these things. So we have to benefit from the Moments Movement and that were having now, when African Company is looking at different countries, youll be on countries. I to see as, as you are the connection to support this kind of stick them up. Because it is that theres what otherwise this decision mean for the security coordination of the lease or the coordination at large between the is really is and the Palestinian Authority is you think, i mean, because israel did react furiously. So when this analysis was made, not only towards the European Countries but also towards the Palestinian Authority, there what, what is the most the, the couple of things that the cell is decided to take revenge or to punish their policy and people, regardless of where they are. In augusta or in the west bank because the 1st thing that they, they said is were going to take a Financial Support from, from the, the police now for the what they, they have to do. I mean, this is not the decision, but im a senior officer i took, you said that you dont, they can buy solver and i need to find those sites on there by lot the nissan or variations of different other other, i mean, the other institution via this would be funny because thats it. So it seems that it is trellis decided and 100 percent not to allow the recommendation of the state im not allowed to come. So that means it might fairly say some of this to a state solution that everybody gets repeated include in the us. Uh, this is the only way to solve this issue is right. We never allowed this to happen. It make it clear and its on yahoo and mainly, and thats on the right side of it then, you know, for the people thats even more around the kind of in this, in this said perception thats never, never and, but he said wed be the state. Yep. Scanners, i kind of thank you so much for your analysis as the, the body if it runs late president s. But i aint but a easy has arrived in the eastern city of bridge and thousands have gathered in the streets to pay their respects on the 4th official day of morning. Later on thursday that is his body will be taken to his home city of mess, hides in the northeast for breo, the 8 and 7 others, including the foreign minister, were killed in a Helicopter Crash on sunday. Lets bring in a say at most, if i push him, hes a senior, a Foreign Policy analyst, and Public Diplomacy strategist joining us from a to hong. Thanks for your time with us. Just give us a sense of what the mood is like in the around where you are as the morning continues for the president and the foreign minister and their companions. Laura, thanks for having me. Well, the, the, the people are morning. This has been a great loss to over earphones. Crazy was very much favorites among different classes of the society, especially the deprived class of the day. He realized them pretty well. He was taking journeys around the country in order to speak to them one on one and listening to them. And he was of, you know, from the same class when he was a kid, he was brought up the same kind of class. So people hard morning because the know that the, this has been a great loss also for i mean up to la and also the governor of the north east and a city of a provinces of posit by john they, they really cared for this young golf in there, if you would just take a look at the comments that they have left under the relevance of news on bbc, youll see that they have left to hundreds of commons more running for him on a far in, you know, a european bass media. Right. And also the same thing is true for others. So the feeling here is sadness, of course, and of a great loss for the country. Authorities are keen to portray a sense of stability, of course. And we know that iran will now be entering this interim period over 50 days with an interim president and an interim for administer until elections are held. How do you see these next 50 days playing out . Well 1st of all, if you just take a look at the funerals that started a couple of days ago from temporaries, then to tell ron to be a jan the right now. The bodies have been distributed among job different cities because they wanted to bury them in their city affairs from useful hunters and john febreeze my shot to alons ray city and different cities everywhere. If you just take a live footages, youll see huge crowds coming to the streets. So this incident has, by the way, renewed a sense of unity. They, these pictures are giving the nation another, you know, or image or inspire is inspiring them. That the with unit to use and cohesiveness and solidarity. So we do believe that people are standing even more united at the same time. These huge crowds are sending a message, a strong message to everyone across the globe to show their a support for these long make republic. And especially considering that a couple of years ago, some on rest happened in a ron bill. The numbers were very small, but the media augmentation across the globe of showed them a 1000000 times greater size. But now thats where i mean, route 1st are sending it to i see where you meet on with the make it. I see what you mean about uh your description of whats happening right now, but i just like to get your take on the next 50 days and how they will play out once this morning period is over. Are people happy about go about the prospect of going through the polls, yet again, is their appetite for it . Well, as i said, this has been well, as i said, this has been a great loss, but there is a new spirit in the society. We do believe here in the wrong and in the wrong that so in the new about the elections, there will be a, even a larger turn out compared to 3 years ago and president , to raise the, was elected. People now even show more care of the, the uh, government is moving, it had uh, smoothly, they are working round the clock and they are speeding up even the measures that they were to do in a year. Now they want to do as much as possible in the next 50 days. All the heads of branches of power are standing united with the care take care of the government, the v. P. Mist and most bare in order to ensure a fair and rapid election on the 50 a day. So uh, we do believe that uh, Nothing Specific is going to happen.

A taiwan has mobilized its forces after a china launch 2 days of military exercises around the islands. Beijing says the drills are in response to provoke could have comments. New president s lighting tell you majoring the in on duration on monday. Lie sir. Taiwan would not be subordinate to china. Beijing claims the Self Government island as its own territory. Katrina you is joining us from facing katrina. We understand that the Foreign Ministry has just uh, uh the has just been speaking what, whats been said. Trying to sort of ministry repeated some of the earlier comments that weve heard from aging Peoples Liberation army. That this is clearly drills that are punishment for what china sees a separatist act, visits by ty, once you administration, and namely the new president lighting, to who is a newborn monday. And what we do know about these drills is that they started 7045 am on thursday morning local time, according to will not release by the pa. Uh, these are p like pools, the surrounding tie one as well as the outlying islands. And they say that these are designed to practice a chinese pulses, combat readiness, precision strikes and practice the chinese close as ability to seize and control battlefield. Now, as you mentioned, these are going for 2 days. And as a response, weve had tie one, mobilize the on forces, the tie, what hes government come out and say that these are reversible. They said that these military jewels by china are a threat to tyrants, democracy and freedom. But typically it, taiwan and the people, these are the only audiences that they do wants to make a point to. Theyve also said that these drills are still warning against interest here and some publication by foreign forces. And that was a point that one is for mr. Exclusive, its really made that bathing is full so urging the United States to store its a pool of time. So katrina lights, shantae has just begun his term. I mean, why, as youre ready, provoked such a strong response well, as you said, badging consider as try one chinese cherry tree. That negative way he returned to mainland control by peaceful means or by force. And weve had lighting touch. Hes just started his time and offices you mentioned that he refused to accept this one. China policy not to be clear during his speech. He said he wants peace and stability. Of course, the time of the straight. He wants to maintain the status quo, but there was some comments that he made in his speech that really struck enough with the aging officials and some of those comments. With these he said that ty, one which he referred to as the republic of china. He said that this was not subordinate to badging. He took about strengthening national identity, make it clear that he does not accept chinese sovereignty. He also spoke about and the sizing a new era in taiwan is democracy. So really distinguishing the tie when he system as separate from the Chinese Communist social system. Now we had china infuriated by these comments, transformed minister one, youve probably responded to them by saying that these words were for book to hostile and describes. And he didnt been says was he said that tie would need to purchase, which is what they considered liking to be. He said that they would be nailed to a pillar of say, all right, thank you so much. Katrina, your thanks for that reporting from beijing. So as weve been reporting, china has stepped off military activities around the island ever since lies pretty assessor saying when was elected in 2016 chinese forces, let a series of unprecedented war games in the us House Speaker nancy pelosi visit the islands in august 2022, a year later, china simulated an invasion of the island when site visited the us. And according to Us Intelligence officials, president children ping is ordered the military to be ready for a potential invasion of taiwan by 2027. When see song, theres a non resident fellow with the Atlantic Councils global china hub. Joining us from type a welcome to l g 0. You said that these drills by china are likely to a prelude to other punishments as the chinese with them to come. What sort of punishments are you talking about . A yeah, so this certainly feels like a prelude to a bigger thing seems to come. I mean, china has a full range of tools at its disposal. And china never really shies away. If im using as many of them as i can when it comes to taiwan. But uh, the screen clue of things like people of mattie isolation, matri trio was like this one as well as getting on extensions. But those are inter and ministry. Multiple agency aspects that take time to coordinate, mobilize, and then finally unleashed. And so china high, but doesnt want to wait until its completely ready to do everything before. So to do anything against taiwan. And thats why youre seeing this initial round of me a tree. Drill right now in new york at one in time with offshore islands. And so definitely expect more punishment to come from china, which is why i think this is robin calling to punish itself is more of a signal of more things to come for sure. And even if you look at the very name of this matri trio, its got a code word how cohen named for it. Rather its code joined sword, 2024, a know nobody suffix a, as in point 24 a. I think its the, i had to tell you that this is around a and you should be expecting around be possibly around. See if not around the, to come following this as well. Right. Why a french, theres a reason to be good to be on the ohio alert. Its moments if theres something to be said about the timing of these particular military exercises. And because also military exercises by child or china around taiwan is nothing really new.
