Israel launched what it called a preemptive strike on garza targeting the Palestinian Group for these arrest 2 weeks ago. The 2 sides agreed on a truce this week after trading fire for 3 days. 48 palestinians were killed in the attacks. And sco over now, live to know that abraham, she joins us from ramallah. Knew that when i spoke to Islamic Jihad leaders, they said they understood the truce included the release of bass sama sadie. Within a week this or within 2 weeks, i should say this is, this kind of threatens the seas far. This is of weeds and c st. Me because these relays have kept saying, since the throughs was made, that there would be involved in dialogues that would end up in releasing not only slamming to had needed best them savvy, but also a hunger striking prisoner who has been on a Hunger Strike for over 150 days in his name is helene out.

But during those days he was promised that his detention without charges is gonna end. So he suspended his strike. But then these railey forces have renewed his detention for another time, leaving him to go back to his Hunger Strike. Weve been hearing from medical officials here in palestine saying that his health is deteriorating. He could be at risk of brain damage. We heard just now from the Palestinian Prisoners Society saying that he was moved from the clinic where he was getting treatment to a hospital. Of course, other analysts are saying that this might be a way for israel to kind of get its population ready for the potential release of helena out there. But when it comes to these lemmings, you had these that were some saudi. We know that his detention was extended by at least 60. All right, thanks so much. Neither abraham, the and the streets of garza, people are still picking out the faces of bummed appointment blocks after those 3 days of fighting, many a having to rebuild their lives. Death again, natasha. When im explains. The phones rang in this gaza neighbourhood saturday morning with warnings from Israeli Intelligence to evacuate in what people say felt like only moments. 6 apartment buildings were destroyed or damaged. I dont know and fall from the fair. When my 4 year old son wakes up, when he has any sound thinking, its an astride, and he clinks to me. It makes me frustrated because my children are scared.

The family is homeless, but well have to find money to pay the mortgage on the apartment and find a new place to live. Since 2008, there have been 5 wars or attacks in the gaza strip. The longest was in 2014 and lasted 51 days. After the war, dozens of countries met and planned to raise 5000000000. 00 to rebuild garza but not even half. That money was actually donated. The biggest donors katara gave more than a 1000000000. 00 in aid, saudi arabia, half a 1000000000. 00. The United States, the united arab emirates, and kuwait each gave 200000000. 00. These photo showed the before and after of some reconstruction projects. After last years israeli air strikes, cutter and egypt committed a 1000000000. 00 total. To help garza rebuild again, but with no time frame garzas, ministry of public works and housing says it needs millions of dollars. Now to provide housing for 2200 families, bluefield the as little as putting some obstacles and the way of the donors as the 130 construction process to be slow over the years. Even once reliable arab allies have stopped offering funding. And with many humanitarian crises, globally, donor fatigue has set in israel, ester, occupying power. They have every a responsibility to, to, to, to, to take care of the situation there. But in the long term, long in awful, for china. And also for the huge majority of the International Community, what concerns us, its not we cannot simply look at the specific situation in the pissed piecemeal to way some in the International Community may continue to spend billions of dollars rebuilding gaza after each war or attack. But palestinians wonder when the world will see that its more prudent to invest in peace. Natasha name al jazeera, gaza 11, and now an armed man is holding employees hostage at the federal bank in the capital bay. Root is demanding his own money and threatening to burn down the bank. Security forces not entered the building, yet found the next morning this, thats brians and hold it in beirut. So why is the whole, the hostage is just to get his own money . Well, banks have imposed the informal capital controls for nearly 3 years and later, 2019 people were locked out from their savings. A few months later, they started to impose limits on, on withdrawals as well. And if you had a dollar account, they would disperse the money in the lebanese currency, which has really the value that last 90 percent of its value. And they were even giving the or not to at the market rate. So, as you can see here, chaotic scenes, this is the federal bank of lebanon in hombre, in the center of bay root. The armed men is inside. He is holding an unknown number of hostages employees, as well as a citizen. We do not know how many people are locked inside, but we know that he is threatening go, yes, thank you. Well move, we will move. Thank you very much. What hell say yes for our safety and hes threatening to set fire to the whole establishment. What we understand from people who are talking to him because a negotiator on behalf of the government is now inside trying to negotiate with the armed men to lay down his weapons. He is disgruntled, he is angry. Hes demanding his money because he hasnt been able to find the job. This is the information we are getting from 2nd hand sources here. So chaotic seem a hostage situation, a disgruntled deposits, or who believes that this is his money . It is. I dana, it looks pretty intense. So do we need to let you go and pick this up when youre in a more comfortable spot . I dont want to keep you in the middle of trouble. No, sammy, it is okay. We just have to move. Were fine. All right, and maybe you can explain to view, as i mean, this isnt the 1st time this has happened, right . This is becoming a thing in lebanon. A yes, this is the 2nd time. In fact, a man, a few months ago, held hostage a Bank Employees in the east of the country. He demanded his money 50000. 00 because it was his savings. He couldnt survive any longer. He was, he later surrendered. And he also gave back the money that they gave him. And after a while, the judge that release them from prison, people, people have lost hope, 80 percent of the population is now poor. Like i mentioned the currency valued by 90 percent and the majority of people here earned their money in the local currency. This is a country which is cash strap. It is hungry for dollars, but the International Community is refusing, refusing to invest in lebanon, or to bail the government out unless they carry out much needed reforms. Anti corruption laws, reform and state institute were corruption, is endemic. So the Political Class is refusing to do that. That means youre not going to get to put the dollars that you need in order for the economy to recover. So people are struggling, theres been a brain drain, whoever can leave the country, has already left. And even those who had money, theyre rich, have no access to their money in the banks. So the situation is dire, and maybe many people will say that we are going to see situations like these, you know, in the coming weeks and months if you dont do anything to solve the economic crisis. Oh, plenty of attention there. We can see all the reports isnt cameras. Is this generating public sympathy a . Well, yes, you can hear a lot of people say im next. Im going to do what he did for some, you know, he is a hero because hes at banding. What is right there is they feel that because at the end of the day there was a lie. Yes. If you like, between the politicians and the bankers they were, they had a connections, politically connected, people, politicians are shareholders in the bank. Now the banks argue and say, we let the money to the state we lent the depositors money to the state and the state mismanage the funds on the states is now bankrupting the state cant pay us back. So many people here believe the, the Banking Sector is involved with the Political Class, so they would call him a hero. Now, others will say, you know, this is criminal action. You put other peoples lives a danger and this should not be done and it should not be encouraged. But people have tried, theyve taken to the streets that demand change. And there was an election just a few months ago to try to change the, the leadership, which has been governing this country for decades and really blamed for the economic collapse. But that didnt happen because people still support these Political Parties for a number of reasons. Either sectarian reasons, ideological reasons, or for the very fact that they benefit from Political Parties who are stronger than the states. It is the Political Parties who provide jobs, resources, people, theres no electricity state. The electricity is barely provided an hour a day. So if you do not have money to pay for private generator, youre living without, without electricity. And many people have, you know, hasnt, hasnt, is the head of the Depositors Union . Hes been fighting for depositors rights for 3 years now. How, how do you see the situation today . I dont know what to save. The situation is good or bad. Ordinarily been used and for the deposit this is money 0. This vision for them is money. Good. Order economy for di county. This is back on this is ready, but we said many times before. If you didnt put a road up hold of that crisis, we want to go here. Go to the side. Oh for furthermore little this. Maybe maybe we was you blood in the band. Thats what we dont want. Were not asking for this. Were not asking for it or not. That saves my money. Not saves my right. What is my life . What is my money that i worked on . Many, many, many millions of me, but hes people, they work at all. Would they work until about his economy . These saved their money. They put them in the bank. The legal they are not with us. The politics is not with us, the banks is not with are the central bank, is an industry oh. And i gave us this mind. He has kids. The house family, you talk to him, you spoke to his father is in the hospital. The bank is giving him a 1000000 3rd month, which means its not the other dollars while he is paying for electricity them millions a month. Oh, how can you survive . How can he survive . He went to delhi. Do they wanted the judge . He didnt think its like it went to politics. He didnt think his rights. He went to the bank. He sent letters to the bank. Many times the bank didnt give him nothing. He did what hes doing now. Hassan. Hes the head of the Depositors Union. Hes been fighting for the rights of depositors for some time. Now, as you can see, people are angry and some really justify the actions of this man. What hes saying, thats really he had a has no other choice. I. Thanks so much. Dana holder. There fleming.

So 1st of all, tell us a little bit about whats been happening economically in the country to drive people to this level of frustration. Well, i think a couple of these are, nobody is a loan is a country that has continued to be friday. I follow you in the past or that took place in the country. Following that learn was heats by you pull up on demi, which also create that he saw and challenges for the economy and socio political conditions of the citizens. And that they also had just before the last election, they also had the most light. And then following the last election with a lot of expectations on who once again part of the Global Community that was heat by the b 19. And then we can now the effect of the a rush hour war. So a couple of all that have led to a lot of economic challenges that have made the citizens on employed. A lot of expectations that came with the change of government have not been met. And then the frustration among the citizens is so clear and disabled for almost everybody to see an explosion of protest. St of come out of the blue a little bit was resentment building out for a while before this and just unnoticed. No, not really. A couple of even days ago, weeks ago, i was also walking with 15.

Things are most okay in our box, the government continue to assure that they had all the plans to get back on track. So i do not think that it is just up. And again, dont forget that the position has also been fingering the government targeting them, which wants them from what they consider to be the Anti Corruption and proceed to the for my president , for the grow money on the, on the, on the, for my flood of the now with the jump, but the been willing to try and get that camera who the position is also feeling that the government is using their legs. A Little Wonder why they brought this apart from town. Why the process you, those are coming from very strong code of the Political Party or the real fears or concerns that this could re ignite, you know, the scenes of the civil war . Well, we are not going to, im wishing it in a way in them saw some of the scenarios, but i also, i, i personally feel thats m c dot announcer. I have been wor, fussy, however, i am thinking that because there are some political on that tune that if not in is dawn for 2 hours the seat, which on our end of the 2020 election at you may not be a civil war, but it could be wanted to follow the electron ballast that me earth no volumes would or piece, but i think that the good thing also is that the regional hub musician echo us is what much more responsive by this moment. And i believe that term, sooner than later they are we some diplomatic engagements to see how to help sierra dont come out of this or i will leave it there for now. Thanks so much. My pleasure.

The Us Justice Department says its charged the man it describes is a member of iran, revolutionary god. If accuses him of involvement in a plot to kill form, a National Security advisor, john bolton shut on, poor sol fee is wanted by the f. B, i in connection with the case, prosecutors say the scheme was likely in retaliation for the American Strike in january 2020. That killed the head of irans lead goods force. Awesome, so the money we face a rising threat from authoritarian regimes to seek to reach beyond their own borders, to commit acts of repression including inside the United States. This is an especially appalling example of the government of iran, perpetrating a grievous acts of transnational violence in violation of us laws and our national sovereignty. Bearing in Foreign Ministry says the charges are baseless and politically motivated. It accuses the us of making allegations without providing evidence. Mike, hannah has more from washington. Well, the Justice Department has outlined an elaborate and lengthy murder for hire plot, which began some 18 months ago. When sharon puts up, the allegedly contacted somebody within the United States and persuaded him to act as essentially a murder for hire promising some 300000. 00. Should he kill john bolton now unknown to put off . He was the fact that this individual was an f b i, informant. So he informed the authorities, the authorities were abreast of the plot as it developed now this another twist in it as well. Its been revealed to by the Justice Department that tuffy also offered a 1000000. 00 for a 2nd target. Now sources close to mike on page 4, my direct b. C. I a and a former foreign secretary is saying that it was my palm pale. Who was the 2nd target for which 1000000. 00 was promise. So theres a lot of details that the Justice Department has provided. One must make clear though that the sofie is still at large. Hes still being hunted down though these charges have been laid against him. I spring in now my job is away. Hes a professor of contemporary politics and history of the middle east at the university of carter and director of the golf study center, joins us now on skype from da. Good to have you with us. So iran says the us hasnt shown any evidence how much evidence has been made public actually, there is no evidence has been made. So what we have now is the, basically the narrative from the United States, from Justice Department, which been described in the New York Times of snap, as is of the international esplanade novels. Thats the description of New York Times of what has been basically published. So basically its very interesting to see all of the studies coming to start the 24 hours and after the final agreement, which been reach to and in vietnam has been basically sent to different capitals. Its concerning the nuclear issue. So the timing is very interesting to see the story coming exactly and the time where there is talk about reaching a deal on the nuclear issue. The timing is sensitive. How will these allegation do you think impact those efforts to re revive the Iran Nuclear Deal . There will have impact because basically such a in used to god this wither base this or with base, you know, no one knows how mr. United states actually is sure about what they have. But its very interesting to see, you know, how would be the reaction from Different Countries like european countries, because this is, this story is bringing back iran to the, you know, the description of being grove of states, you know, a country which basically support terrorism and intervene on security by their company. So basically the image of iran would be affected by the study even for short term. I think there would be a lot of discussion, but your Opinion Companies would that this is a seat as company to be bought or on the nuclear deal or not because they try to deal.
