Escalating the you and his warning of devastating humanitarian consequences of so many people are forced to move us to find secondly, load austin to rise in israel and to show solidarity off to how most of the time on saturday the just past. Oh 800. 00 g m t. Thats 11 am and guys, mid to destruction, fear and bloodshed caused by israels bombardment. Its army tells 1100000 palestinians in northern guys to evacuate to the south within 24 hours. That includes you and stuff and tens of thousands of people with sheltering and you and schools and clinics, and also those and some of the largest refugee counts in gaza. You and aid workers that say the relocation so many people as possible. What kind of go through stuff . What ill call louis, whos in, gone so far as hes on the phone far as a software. The 1st of all, last time we were speaking about an hour ago, we had a rocket attack as you were speaking. Can you give us an indication of whats been going on over the last few hours as well . Yes, we are disconnected from that the rounding you, as we could see here. All exclusions, we come up to receive that use updates from our uh sources since everybody is panicking. God, everybody is trying to understand what happens in terms of evacuating god the to the uh, the laws of the god with the, for the thoughts. But until now um we can hear from time to time from the bombardment from exclusions in different areas. Were the only concentrating in one place last night there why they didnt define the shuddering on the bottom and then uh, all of the works of god, the city and in the, in the north of guys are 50 as well. And the age of neighborhood, for example, which is in the central area which is off to evaluate garza where i live. Ill stick people to move. They have is it destroyed . I have neighborhoods. In other words, you to for jacob, thats why it is viewed among people here, where when they talk about evacuating god and the not of god that towards the thoughts so far. Let me ask you about that. How are people react . You say the dispute and concerned about the possibility they might have to move, but are people actually going to be able to move in 24 hours as israel is demanding the look of the order for the almost all 7 days. Gaza is without the without the city, which means that even the transport fission means have a stop completely from some people. But its the phase from north even before the start that isnt that solution. So a practically or impractical fan to move 1000000 install opinions from the north of the on, on the 50 for was the south this news, the news period. Uh, if the bad a loud even for the best that should be like a month or 2. Busy before uh, before the day. So about giving the people uh 24 hours to move. Thats quite possible. This is the one. On the other hand we can see we can see that and at the end of the license, this is for the or really phones. Uh, either in the default or in does or in but on both uh uh, hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in the beginning of the cut on it was in gaza on Facebook Page to do or say no, and i get a very believe all go or find a way either walker and gardening dont kids card or whatever. Like in their view, the managed to reach the south, so the 50 width and they say, i just got with my neighbor, im able to with my father only think about yeah, this the day 30. We prefer to die for us to go on by in the south and that, and then it days, its not really safe. They say nothing really. Is it, say i, there is no guarantee that if we go through the south that the boom boom box of people. But the areas where we are supposed to stay on the way to, you know, thats what everybody is. I think okay, we go to the south, you go to, craig noticed, and then when we say they to make the goals are over people and by the way, the food is id love to be prepared or id love to have them sent to. Uh, but it seems pretty pds in our big number of, you know, a 2300000 Public Opinion thing guys are becoming group if you thought like the whole god, the super budget comes without. People are going to get so far. Let me please forgive me for interrupting you. I want to get that sense also, of course, about the medical services that there are engaged at the moment because its not just the question of individuals having to leave their homes and, and move their belongings and so on. Were talking about a large number of people that have been receiving medical treatment in gaza itself and they would, one would imagine would have to move as well along with the medical services and the medical stuff or working with them that must prove norm as logistical problem. A look at the him, the dog has disfigured everything for you and if i get off the 17th, uh, is there a seniors or is there any fees on duplicate and does a so the supply that ive seen that the phone ive been eating regular late was and monthly, or is it cool models on or the same on so the supply was not figured out, so wouldnt the one stop it . Im, im probably under all think it is part of the not driving the the cost because of that javascript. This really has the whole, the whole system and its about to collapse the police through both. We could see by the way, we could see our stuff we could see and just people in the doors and they are on the police of and put them up even give the, the physics maybe some intervention. But because the 1st step is the close the beside the best, but they put in new quotes please book it was number i dont think it is. And by the way, the Municipal Councils on the uh, on a month and again, uh you said it is. Uh oh, those are the golf course because without the, from the beginning the social deactivated that nothing left or that but a 100 feet plan. Buck still, they have been upgrading now the community to do something to look at again. Uh to uh, to start, uh, like, uh, the contract. So now if i, if i have some people gonna leave it there for you. Uh for the moment stuff, what im gonna do is hes been talking to us in guys or which we understand has been under bombardment for the last few hours from is really a tax. Well, the us equity estates in jordan where the set to meet the palestinian president of ma mode a boss. And weve just seen pictures of him with palestinian president as the president tomorrow for the bi assigned to the bank has landed in a mine is part of a 6 nation. So it is arrived from tennessee for it is offered israel on ending support, but hes also urged the safe passage of civilians in gaza. He says hes going to push for talks on creating humanitarian caught of doors. And secondly, in states, also due to visit costs outside here, maybe at the u. A. And egypt smart. Ill get the magic either james base is joining us here in the studio. Lets talk about that meeting. First of all, was found a standing president , my food, a boss. There is an interesting situation around the role of the polish Standing Authority in this. What is your assessment or fly onto the blinking, which we got it is necessary to go to see president s and offload of us. Im why is it necessary for him to go and see president of bass notes in ramallah, but to go to him on . Clearly he wants to be seen talking to the palestinian side, but clearly not to hum us. Im going to see present the best. Nobody would, as i say, take place in ramallah. But i think that theyve decided they dont want to go onto publish the new territory. And not only that, when he arrived in a mom the us, i could just stay in the riving, just normal jobs. He was in a military plane, so theyre obviously concerned. I think about the security situation as well. Um also was telling you, weve just seen those pictures and the last few moments of, of the secretary state getting out of his limousine, getting into the meeting saying, present the boss, what we call in the business. Among jim this the pool spray while you see the 2 of them shaking hands and only see a few comments and then the report is an ease out of the room. This last it literally 2nd the said, the report is what chucked out of the room. Seemed to be back and making sure that the present the boss was not going to get a chance to say anything on camera next to the secretary state. Certainly at this stage. So an interesting meeting of the in amman, and obviously its on the way now. So hopefully well get some, some indication from both sides of the ends and meeting about what, what is what was discussed. And if theres anything new, i think you were talking before this is only part of a sort of tour if youre like that hes doing of the region is going to study or maybe a egypt and caught him amongst others. What, how significant are these countries in terms of this to and what is he trying to achieve . Do you think . Well, i think there is a number of things he wants to achieve. And some of these countries have the ability in the cost to talk to him, us egypt, and cut off a pretty key in that i think hes concerned about the us citizens and tool nationals who are in gaza. We estimate thats between 5 and 600 real close, hes consent to about the americans and theres no clear number of this of the americans who are taken captive. I end up being held in garza so negotiations on those 2 front. So be that the other thing hes going to talk to all these countries about is the general situation in the region. Because people are watching this across the arab world, across the islamic world. Weve got a situation with iran summit in the us, the saying that iran should be fully blamed for this. There is a danger of spillover. And i think that is also a great concern for the secretary of state on this mission, which the us will does, is defined as diplomacy. But we do need to stress one thing as we see the these people of over a 1000000 people being told to leave goals of city and the newest. He is not the sex, just a cooling for a cease while he still says that israel has a full right to defend itself. And thats what youre saying in the ongoing bombardment of the people. James, were going to leave it there and im going to come back to you. Of course, in the next few hours, were going to go to all just as child stratford whos in the eddie in southern israel. Thats 4 kilometers outside guys. I know you were one of the villages that was a time. Whats the situation there now . Well, the situation here now is that the ministry on there is an ongoing effort to create a village of unexploded dont. And so ill just get out of the way of this to this vehicle. So let me show you around here, the level of destruction. These all problem is that obviously police belong to people who live to its understood that around 300 and age. Sorry, a 180 people were killed in this village, or a 180 bodies were retrieved from this village. You can see the level of destruction. Whats that number that you just saw . So may feel bad signifies you said that call has been cleaved or suspected unexploded ordnance. Ill just quickly walk you over here. You can see down, they submit a tree equipment, ministry, clothing withhold, belongs to the hammer spices that came into this village. They were here for 3 days that were fish fish bottles. Its not knowing how many is ready. Soldiers were killed in these battles. You can see the name that that says a catawba, cuz um thats the cosigned brigade. Thats the how much unit that came in here. Is even yeah, a copy of the what seems to be the core on the leaves of gloves that we understood of being used in some of the forensics and saving lives, possibly used by the how much flight just to treat the injured. As i say, as you can see scenes of also of the devastation that we can move down the road. A little bit of the situation, certainly in this area so far has been quiet, but this was a number of towns, a number of villages in this area. The of course, had infiltration. But why, how much flight does the ministry here say that they were up to 200 homeless by just here, a load . So, so yeah, this is some of the weapons that have been retrieved by the is right in the military. You can see grenades, obviously, machine guns, magazines, you kind of look at the, the, the trees here that a bunch out an indication of the, of the explosives that theyre going to see the, the, the, possibly the showing that theres a code weve seen in other areas of the village weve seen a lot about on the floor, weve seen destroyed calls. And as i say, this is just one of we understand around 25 villages in this area that were infiltrated by hamis. Meanwhile, the ongoing security situation continues in trying to prevent more info trojans. Charles, let me ask you about that. Were just seeing some pictures of the moment of us defense secretary lloyd austin, getting a briefing instead of eve on the situation with the as maybe another tray in the defense minister and so on. What is the military situation now off to this to mind that jostens the people and palestinians in gaza should move to the side of well, certainly last night. And that was obviously subsequent to that. Subsequent to that announcement, weve stay around about 40 kilometers from the gauze. A boat of the explosions that were hearing was so loud that the shockwave was shaking the windows in our hotel. So very heavy shelling last night. We also know that a lot of the military equipment that we have been doing on live shots as a background has now moved, move to other areas, suggesting some full, potentially preparation for a movement on the ground. This village is full of military, they are. So you can imagine very sensitive about being filmed the situation here in terms of outgoing rockets from from garza suddenly since weve been here and the last hour is being quiet. But there is a lot of military equipment in this area. As you can imagine, weve seen tanks and a p, cs, various communication equipments too, and it is very difficult to get in here. We couldnt get in, obviously without permission from the military and all on the strict time restraints as to how long we can remain. So yeah, the situation with indications suggests that that could well be some sort of push into, especially northern garza, in the hours maybe days ahead. Charles, thank you very much. Indeed. Charles, try for talking to us at 8, and thats in the southern israel, but 4 kilometers outside garza joining us on the phone from con eunice in garza is our correspondence. Youll not el site, youll not. Um, i want to ask you, 1st of all about the journey that you made to con units, because of course this is where the is rallies. One to 1100000 palestinians in garza to move to away from guys of city. Yes. Well, after we finally were able to evacuate, we waited for a couple of neighbors who were also going to evacuate with us. We were really afraid to go car one by one and everyone was actually calling each other to ask about the street. The roads. What true to take, which is open, which is not open, what street is bombarded . What is not going bar, did it because really about like 2 hours to fact which street is to go into which routes to take and how to go. And then we decided to go into buy shoes. The car is like 34. 00 cars, 5 cars dot way together so that we keep a we keep taking care of each other and we dont just left a car or to go alone. We 6 away from the god, the Strategic Funding unit. We were 3 quarters together, me and 2 other neighbors with that in the building. We came here to hi eunice after taking not to pull of the road to teresa really till we got here safely. It seemed, it says that the, the bar is meant in general in gaza has been a relatively called this past 2 hours and the see that they are nothing p. Polk go to, can you . And its now everyone is busy asking, how can we go should really go . Is this a room or is this true . Are restricted to today . Uh, should we not correct . And if we say, is it going to be safe in our neighborhood during out . These are so many questions that people are asking. We were asking these questions as well, but done with, with the heavy, some parts in the morning and with what weve been seeing the previous these and the environment is home. And the targeting of the areas that they do, warren, the people to come out of or excuse me, we did not want to take that risk and not please. So, you know, let me just ask you about the security situation there. So what ill do is ill kind of our a report i was counting a certainly around that one of the concerns about those in gaza. Is that even if the goal size was con eunice on further south and gaza this their safety is not guaranteed. What is security . Like . If its not guaranteed, thats all i need. What just, what just a line. They just happen. These areas is a south or the 1st area to be a to be in danger. What is this environment continues . Weve seen in the previous days. We had set up a how the was bon bonded, even if im not just the, what is the virus or the vitamin just hops, that is why people are using forgot the 50 to one unit. Thats also a great trip. People are sheltering in their homes and reading in english, whatever places the academy like basements like hospitals, like clinics to a 1st before the bombardment to a little bit. You know, ill come down and then they will move around. But then using some guys just to communities along the way, if its something to do, receive session and then you have your kids with you and you need to move very quickly and to really to knock on the table. And there is a lot of bombardment on the way so, and theres nothing to guarantee until now review time unit. Okay. I just came honestly to the i please. Its feeling that i did everything that i was told to keep my family say, but i dont have one percent assurance that i am safe here in communist with my family. But at least i didnt want to live with the guilt if something happens while i stay involved with city, that i didnt take the risk and goes to con unit. As i was warned and ordered by the injury in the military. And i closed my finally to for a reason dies that you have no, thank you very much. Indeed thats uh, you know, our sides is bringing this up today from the situation in con eunice and joshua. That is where these really is to say that 1100000 palestinians in gaza, city should move to head to what theyre suggesting, some sort of maybe some sort of action against commerce in a gaza city. Us know us defense secretary lloyd austins arrived in israel and a further show of solidarity. He is expected to discuss strategy and security in the guys are war with his really leaders, us Officials Say austin is going to meet israels prime minister. Benjamin netanyahu of monks is live for us in tel aviv so light austin has not been in israel for a few hours. We saw some pictures earlier of him being briefed on the military situation in tell, have you just bring this up to date before the situation is there what im robust briefings i can face in the ministry defends, building just behind me here in tennessee where he is at the same meeting with nuts and yahoo as well as your up go on is really defense minister. The slightly small little cabinet has been established. So in the last couple days following the establishment of this, uh, emergency government has that includes a form of defense minister penny guns and to all the individuals with observe a status in terms of milestones, activities here, you know, hes, hes really focused on trying to work with these ready minute 3, he said yesterday to make sure they do quote right things as it pertains to the prosecut
