Spokesperson to claim that they had not perpetrated the attack on the hospitals, so we cant really expect uh balance from the media. What should happen is an independent analysis of whos done what, and more over an analysis of who could do what to descalate the situation. The word revenge is being used again and again and again, and once again in yesterdays press conference with the palestinian ambassador, he was pointing out and i asked him a question about this, he was pointing out that if you measure this dispute as being a fortnite old, then people tend to blame hamas, but if you look at this as a 75 year old issue, its far more nuanced than people are making out, and back to your first question in this interview, uh, why are the people around the world responding . Because perhaps for the first time theyre beginning to hear the problems facing the palestinians, and that doesnt mean you justify murder of innocent people. But it does mean that theres a case to answer and it will onl
I have only one question. This is an abc news special report. Now reporting david muir. Good morning. We are coming on the air because President Biden is about to deliver remarks in israel after arriving overnight to a region in crisis. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greeting him on the tarmac. President biden then meeting with israels war cabinet in a show of support and an effort to prevent the war from israel and hamas from turning into a much wider conflict here.

The islamic call to prayer reverberates from mosks throughout the city of gaza. Five of prayer times each and every day summon allahs faithful servants. Since the period of the first interfada in the year 2000, religious awakening has grown dramatically in the gaza strip. At that time the number of mosks was estimated to be 500. Statistics 14 years later in 2014 show that this number has now doubled to nearly 1,000 mosks which are attempt. By hundreds of thousands of muslims both night and day, and the teaching of the muslims, they have the forgiveness, which they call it in arabic, samah, so to forgive someone, supposed to have love, there is a striking image, which is evident in almost every palestinian city, in the neighborhood of zeiton in gaza city, for example, you can see the katib alwisayah mosk situated next to the roman orthodox church, the church of porphery.

Im abby phillip, and this is news knnight. I want to begin by taking a moment to show you some of the horror of the war that has transpired in israel. Often, in terror and in war, its the children who are caught in the cross hairs. Their innocence taken away in just a moment. And in this conflict, it is no different.

Not even the smallest, most defenseless victims were spared. I want to warn you that what im about to show you is horrific. It is graphic. But its the harsh, brutal reality of what happened. The israeli Prime Minister releasing this picture of a baby, an infant, no longer alive, covered in blood, tiny legs still in a diaper. Other pictures show others burned beyond recognition. Now, its a reminder that hamas, when they infiltrated those neighborhoods, homes, they did it to torture, to kidnap, and to execute their victim
