Israel says its investigating what happened. Late this monday the death toll in the 28day war was over 1,800. He was in gaza during the ceasefire and resumption of the air strikes. Just like in all of the previous ones, this one was no exception in that it was short lived, barely less than an hour after it went into effect. An 8yearold girl was killed in an israeli strike in the camp just north from where im standing. There are many injuries out there and other injuries as well and different israeli strikes which were conducted during this partial unilateral ceasefire decided by israel. This some 24 hours after a Deadly Strike right near a u. N. Emergency shelter that caused a lot of international outrage. Today however reerlly forces had indicated again this was a unilateral decision on their part. Palestinian fashions obviously do not feel binded by it and Israeli Forces were learning certain parts of the palestinian enclave were exuded from the ceasefire. Notably those parts east, that were hit so hard for the past 48 to 72 hours. Probably one of the parts of gaza that needed respites the most. In any case, some palestinians did make it outdoors, just like previous instances of lulls or relative calm and to try and basically well return to some of the homes that they had fled. Remember, at this point you almost have nearly half a million palestinians in gaza who have been forced to flee their homes, forced by violence to flee their homes smfment people basically returning for a brief moment trying to assess damage for some of them. Unfortunately trying to pull bodies out of the rubble in order to give them proper burials. Also people gathering clothing, basic goods. Remember as you mentioned, more than three weeks of fighting so very precarious situation that these thousands of people are in, are lasting but nonetheless as i was just saying, ceasefire was a very brief one. There was more violence throughout its entire duration. As soon as its officially ended, the israeli army did indeed announce it was resuming military activity. We heard more shelling coming from those vessels posted off the coast of gaza. Yet again, the residents of the palestinian enclave are preparing themselves for another uneasy night, if you can call it that. Gallagher there, our reporter in the gaza strip.

For now the third intifada that some were predicting start to materialize. For the Senior Member of the ruling plo, recent events only heightened support for rivals hamas. He said they will emerge stronger from the conflict. I think support is rising up in the west bank. And it was there at the beginning of the war. I dont think there was complete identification with the demands with the gaza strip. Increasing public sympathy perhaps but hamas has been decapitated in the west bank. Many of its members were arrested during the israeli crackdown that followed the killing of three jewish teenagers in june. Moving on, Nouri Al Maliki ordered the Iraqi Air Force to help the kurds threatened by the advance of isis sunni extremists who doe claired their own counterfeit terrorist state.

But unfortunately, the two colleagues have succumbed to the impact that is having on the local community, while while its really having a sgget knockon effect. People in monrovia and across the country simply now suspicious of the Health Care Workers say if doctors and nurses cant protect themselves, what hope do they have of treating us and one thing that is really coming off that is we are seeing increasing numbers of people sharing any sort of illness or malady choosing to stay at home and treat themselves.

Stay with us. Now to another man that know whats whats going on, james creed. Good to see you, mark. Starting with french politicians increasingly critical of israels offensive in the gaza strip. Thats right. Theres a lot of reaction over the weekend to the continuing Israeli Offensive in gauze why particularly the French Foreign minister who said a solution by the International Community should be imposed on the parties there. Thats strong language. And you can see this on the website. The mass car, in terms of whats going on in gaza and carnage. Extremely strong choices of words and language by the French Foreign minister. And theyre taking as well about a jihad or aboutturn in some cases in the French Foreign minister position, which is vocally in support of the early days of the conflict. The position is similar to that of a former israeli ambassador in paris by the name of elle. He said for a twostate to come into being, the International Community must intervene and peace must be imposed on the parties or it wont happen. And thats a strongly worded declaration by the French Foreign minister. And they spoke out in the past 24 hours Via Press Release from the palace in which he said the language was less strong and the bombing was inadmissible and those responsibility to answer for their acts, and we didnt specifically state the israeli army, for example, but those responsible. This, of course, after that school was ten deaths, ten children den in another u. N. Facility. And they are still investigating. You mentioned the International Reaction there get alarm happening and that the tone is changing. Absolutely. Just on that note, theres a certain amount of reaction to that in the u. S. Press, for example, look at this headline in buzzfeed. Com distrust between u. S. And israel is at an alltime high but military support will continue. That sort of what would we say, paradox a way interesting quotes out of the article as well. Obama and netanyahu are like little kids who have been paired together by their Science Teacher and they still want to jab and hurt each other as much as possible. Theyre pointing out the Senate Approved 225 million tchars worth of emergency funds for israels dome Missile Interceptor but yet this game just 24 hours later, the state department issued its harshest condom nation ever. And this appeared a couple days ago in the daily telegraph, president obama put ago letter to stop bombing into what would you say, shipment of missiles. Certainly what it looked like. Indeed the fact the criticism is getting harsh is being picked up by political co. Com. This lady you see here Senior Adviser to barack obama. Many people say her position is essentially Barack Obamas position, maybe hes not publicly saying what hes saying but they would be on the same page. He said israeli strikes near havens in gaza and you cant condone the killing of in the children. Barack obama hasnt said it but one of his closest advisers have. The victims of the dead bodies of the children at the furen earl its amazing the Security Council for instance, has not come forward and said something. I know there are rockets being fired into israel and that is not excuseable and that is not zifmente thats right. And that is not right. The French Foreign minister said exactly that, to pick you up on that point, mark, he said there needs to be political sanctions against israel. There needs to be a vote by the u. N. Security council on the matter. It needs to be referred to the International Court and there need to be International Peacekeepers sent in. This is under the foreign minister. Hamas position wants israel wiped out and firing rockets and are not taking either side here but you can see there are huge dilemmas on both angles of this. Increasingly coming out there saying this needs to be sort of an intervention. The first point, imposition of something thats right. They soom incapable of advancing towards peace. Increasing calls jims, for economic sanctions, perhaps a boycott, israeli products. What are you talking about . Lets look at this. The they call for a boycott of israel products known as boycott investment and sanctions. Google trends graft here spiked in the last since july. And the same in 2009 when there was another israeli army offensive. A big spike indeed. But its interesting to look at the situation in france where calling for israeli boycott is illegal. Theres a law since 2003 which considers the Boycott Movement is a provocation. You can face one year in prison, 45,000 fine and it is illegal to discriminate. And northern ubsush of paris, made a public call for that and she was pulled into the police station, mark. So its seen as an illegal act here to call for a boycott of israeli policy. Some people might say its illegal to stop people boycotting what they want to boycott but thats perhaps just me splitting hairs. James creed, thank you very much indeed with our media watch. Stay with us. Emocracy now we have no despite notify the israeli army 33 times. In the end, at least nine people were killed and 27 injured. Israel faces International Condemnation as another u. N.
