Ill say youve seen had a goal. This allows you to 3 to defeats, to rail madrid. The hello a review of the United Nations relief and works agency for Palestinian Refugees, has found that israel has yet to provide supporting evidence. If its accusation, since that one of our employees are members of one us and linked to the october 7th attacks on israel. Since that claim was made in january, many countries have cut their funding to enter while, including the biggest funders, the us, germany and the u. Winner was supports 5900000 people across 5 territories, garza the occupied westbank, lebanon, jordan and syria, often providing the basic necessities of life from food to schools and even infrastructure in refugee camps. Lets bring it to gabriel is although hes the one whos not from the United Nations headquarters in new york. So um, gabriel, we have the press briefing. What was the take away message from the briefing as well as the report as well . Id say 2 things. Number one, the big picture is under a has a pretty good bill of health. And what i mean by that is that you heard from catherine corona, she basically said, and they put in the report as well. That when it comes to principles of neutrality that are so important for humanitarian organizations or international organizations. She said, and the reports that under uh actually has processes in place that hold it to it has good if not Higher Standards then many other un organizations or non governmental organizations, very strong processes in place. Also in the report, she basically said that uh, that unreal gibbs to israel, a list of all of its nearly 32000. 00 employees every year. And since 2011, israel has not voice any concerns about any of our employees. And they have list with documents about their background resumes, all sorts of information about those people. And of course also she said that is real, provided no evidence that any unreal employees were part of any quote unquote terrorist organizations, as israel has claimed. Now that wasnt her role necessary to look into those specific allegations, never the last one, i asked her about it. She said israel failed to even volunteer any information to back up their very explosive comp claims. Now it will say she does give a list of more than 50 recommendations, that unreal should undertake to help with neutrality issues. But theyre pretty mundane list to be quite honest with you. Its things such as onrush should be having more meetings at this a, at, at the u. N. And new york and should better communicate to donors about neutrality processes they have in place just to name a few. But the big, big picture here is, is that its a pretty good clean bill of health for under a. And a lot of the claims that israel has it made against under, are not backed up at all in the findings from this report. All right, uh gabriel. Thank you so much for that update from the United Nations. Well, heres a look at the hon. Humanitarian assistance for palestinian. So then you an agency supports nearly 6000000 Palestinian Refugees across the middle east. It runs 706 schools and a 140 primary health care facilities. It also provides food and cash assistance to more than 1800000. 00 palestinians. Most of them in gauze of employ is about 13000 staff, a 178 to been killed and is really attack since october. The 7th, more than a 164 owner of facilities have been damaged during the war. The us as the agencies biggest donor in 2023, it contributed 422000000. 00 to warner was well speaking at the you and the former friends for a minister, Catherine Colona said interrupt plays a vital role in the region. She gave a summary of her independence review of the owner was neutrality. Heres what she said over the findings of the review. All of that in rise in place of birth, certificate number of negations and procedures to ensure compliance with the humanities and principles of neutrality. Actually had property of a more develop system then all the you are an organization, all addresses which is a necessity, considering the very difficult environment, complex and difficult a situation in which they operate and the uniqueness of the mission. Thats what was room for improvement. A well known speak to lex tech and birth is a Senior Advisor with the air brought us loans for democracy and development. Hes also a former chief of ethics off of the Ethics Office of owner why hes running his life from a mon. Well, come to al jazeera sir, so when it comes to these issues of neutrality that they review has seemingly identified. How significant are they . Do you think i as well the issue, the issue is that the review has identified is that and right indeed has a very elaborate system in place to deal with the fact that it is cooperating. A sort of like a super tanker in the middle of the storm in a very important pilot environment and, and uh, uh, uh, in, in, in more homes. Um, not just in gas, also, regulatory and other fuel civil peroration uh and to comp, winsted and rise over the years developed and, and, and coming under scrutiny. Frequently the agency has developed a very comprehensive neutrality framework with, with policies, with practical measures arrangement to inspect installations, arrangement, to, to safeguard neutrality or beneficiaries. Uh, to a very robust training on social media and neutrality and more generally on from neutrality humanitarian operations. Uh so the, the, the review of the firms dads of buying large di systems hope to new, to be in place even in the, in the very challenging circumstances. Or for often of genocidal actions in the, in the guys and stripped with more than whats closer 200, unwrapped us and now being being killed so many others injured against still missing. Uh so the agency is indeed receive just strong support for the you know, the hard work and the end, the commitment all for all the 30000 staffing guys in the other 70 pounds. And our show in the, in the other areas of operation right in the colonial review also says it also makes it clear. In fact, the owner is indispensable when it comes to palestinians across the region. If someone whos worked there, give us a sense of just how important it is and what impact the funding cuts have had on the organization as well. Indeed. And right is the only organization. If we take guys on the sort of general side happening in guys, not unless you have any organization that has the ability to sufficient come into the guys and structure of also uh israel, a language to where to deliver that folder and especially to stopping people in the north of the guys is group and as we know is reality is that its not doing that at the moment. This is, this is a separate issue from the, from the funding issue. Unless the only organization that has the stuff in place to test the confidence of the rest of the community, which is critical to prevent sort of the kind of, of, of, of, of tragic incidents that we have seen. Where is, where is a significant number of people being killed when, when you know, and, and try to receive aid unrest. The only organization that has to warehouses detracts to distribution centers. And so without, without under, uh, you know, human and tearing age in guys that comes to this, it becomes, becomes very, very difficult. And, and the other, you are going to cherry and agencies of meat that jody only has dark sense of style. Uh, the short full of the funding is, is uh, is uh and right is living sort of planning months by months. Uh, whether its can continue to operate, needs roughly 50 to 60000000 months in sort of the regular operational costs. Apart from, from the, from the humanitarian supplies that, that, that need to be brought into the guys the strip and the energy and the situation. Of course we now hope where is the wish to report that to a number of toner 2nd at most, yet resume funding. Im waiting for what was the outcome that you know the organization. And thats another point i wanted to raise with you is that the report also said that israel has yet to provide support in evidence of its claims that the employees are foreigner. Well, are members of hamas obligations . Of course that were made earlier this year, which led to the funding cuts. So do you think that the statements in this report is actually going to make a difference . And it will actually have some of those donor countries resumed their funding, like the u. K. Uh oh wow. Oh yeah. Well, absolutely. Um yeah, i am, you know, a number of donors has not even waited for the report when, when it became clear about a months ago that, that israel had not been forthcoming with which providing evidence they, they decided as you know. And they had to give on what have been of the benefit of doubt and an original me version funding for the organization. There were a number of others that type of sort of explicitly be waiting for this report. So i, i would assume now that on rise essentially being given a team based off, how do you pay the netherlands and, and a couple of others will, will not, will so immediately resume funding if it does not happen. Its, its literally in, in, july, almost at the agency may may grind or to a standstill. I mean, were, were only, were only a weeks away from, from that happening. So its very critical that to come back and i expect i expect it to do so without delay. All right, we thank you. Lex, talking about thank you for speaking to us from im on are now is really airstrikes and central dogs. Ill have killed at least for palestinians, an entire residential block was targeted. Civil defense cruise says therapist, still people who are trapped under the rubble odds in the Southern City of south 26. People have died over the past 24 hours as really air strikes, hit more residential buildings. Thought about zoom, is there any is not from what i found on the south of the gaza strip. Thought it was, 1st of all, lets speak about the most recent airstrikes and the roster mouse. Whats been happening . Us . Yes uh the reason in fact, so what we can clearly see that the military attacks on the another part of the gaza strip. One is the past couple of hours have been rubbed late increase the where the is right. The military has advanced more into the nother and parts, specifically in bay town and baked law here town as they are trying to attack residential houses. The specifically off to the latest announcements being released by the military wing of hamas about their attack. One is ready to those isnt the shooting of one of the is very so it just is another part of the town that clearly move residential houses have been destroyed. And as of time we neighborhoods alongside with, im a so how about a area where a residential tower that has been completely destroyed, where one palestinian has the report of killed with at least 3 others being king. Just not only the know that part of the gaza strip that have been attacks within the past couple of hours by new strikes, an aunt to reboot bomb except loudly of a heads in the mid areas where i witnesses that have been describing the situation to be really unprecedented, this specifically that this increase of strikes is unprecedented for months of this. What right now as a, according to the administer of health that make them a 8 palestinians have for reported killed since the hours of this morning with at least more than 60 others being wounded. Only in the middle areas, alongside that attacks did not stop even in the far south. Here in a rough were in agriculture, a land that is a jason to the boat is what egypt had been talking to where the gods of Health Ministry has been recording a Police Safety for palestinians being killed within the past 24 hours. Okay. Taught at thank you for that updates from gaza as the head of israels military intelligence has resigned accepting responsibility for the laps and security that led to be attacked by hamas on israel on october. The 7th Major General of her own. How leave is the 1st senior and government figure to quit in the wake of the attack, which killed a 1139 people. He says there was a failure of his really intelligence that has called for an investigation. Stephanie decker has more from occupied East Jerusalem when its been accepted by the minister of defense, he remains in his position until they can replace him in terms of for now, not that much suspected that at some point, Senior Leaders will be accepting responsibility. In fact, most of them did, and in the often loss of october, the 7th, he said he accepted responsibilities ahead of the shouldnt batch. Thats the internal Security Forces. They are said they accepted responsibility for the failings. Also, the head of the army chief of stalls said that they also failed in preventing october. The 7th. The main person we havent heard from is these ready Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. And youve had, you talked about fallout, youve had some finger pointing today. Well sir, from the leader of the opposition . Yeah. Le pete, welcoming this resignation saying it was the honorable and justifiable thing to do. And that Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu should be doing the same. This was a captain scott catastrophic failure on an intelligence level and admitted to level there were warnings up to a year before this attack, a blueprint even given to israel. That how much seems to have executed almost down to every line. Even in todays a hedge. They were warnings from, its tyler wise that have mass was moving in unusual ways and then the ministry took hours really to organize themselves. The templates is left to their own devices. So it was a massive failure of the biggest in israels history when it comes to an s at yahoo. What he says, he says he will answer tough questions, but now is all the time. And that hell do so after the war is over. But just briefly, a lot of criticism also on deployment is or from is ready to say he was in charge. He is the ultimate one responsible he should resign and that he is prolonging this war only for his own political survival. Jewish holiday of passover has begun the week long festival commemorates freedom. Honest, typically observes, with a feast to celebrate what jews believe was the liberation from biblical slavery. This here relative, so the captives detained in gaza or observing passover in a square in tel aviv to raise awareness of their loved ones. Plates from the sun holds reports, jewish people around the world. And here in israel are commemorating passover. This is a major jewish holiday, they say that commemorates freedom, but this year it comes, it means the backdrop of the war on gonzo and those who are still being held captive in the palestinian territory. Now there are around 500 people from 2 boots, very having their traditional holiday, faith known as the said are here in whats become known as hostage square. They say that there is no sense of normalcy for them. So they decided to have that traditional meal here. In tel aviv now, some is really, is, are telling us that throughout all of the, some of the backdrop of a muted holiday, they still blame me. Is really government for whats going on. They blamed these really Prime Minister himself and want to see change within his rules governance so that there can be a deal to bring back. The remaining is really captive the Opening Statements and 1st testimony and Donald Trumps 1st criminal trial have now wrapped up for the day prosecutor say, the former us president illegally concealed payments made to an adult film star to hide an affair. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges and says hes the victim of political persecution, as he makes another run for the white house this year. Im speaking to the cameras outside the court room. As the court wrapped up for the day. He said that he believed the day had gone very well. This is the case. Nobody wanted to break and it was just as the last case that back it goes back many, many years, 2015 before that change. Busy to bookkeeping which is minus the terms of all of our around thats going on our side. This is a cheap to Christmas Louise joining us from outside the court in new york. So that was trump speaking, but what did his legal team have to say in the prosecution that sold both trains got to lay out their overview of the case and Opening Statements before the jury.

He was a publisher of a tabloid newspaper. He was the 1st witness to take the stand. They say he and Michael Cohen, Donald Trumps former lawyer, were part of that to sierra c. And they are going to lay out how that all went down in the days to come. Now, the defense in their opening argument argues that there was no affair, and that donald trump did not try to hover cover up these payments. They say that Michael Cohen has a history of why on the stand and cant be trusted. And furthermore, defense attorney todds blanche argued that theres nothing wrong with trying to influence an election. They say its called some mocker. See. So overview so far of what we expec
