A week and form the us President Donald Trump returns to quote is a key witness and the so called hush money trial continues his testimony and peace assumes authority of sports and use the asian football confederation. Fax kind of funds that seem to have is real suspended from International Food because of google in gaza. News that again they use out of the International Goals of justice at the hey, you say south africa has requested the ones top quote to order as well. And its offensive and rough. And then this immediately is right. The attacks on the city of sofa falls, nearly 600000 palestinians to flee with speaking to i. C. J judges. On thursday, south africas legal team accused israel on violating the geneva convention. They argued, as well as operation on rama is the last step in the destruction of gaza. This is a texas or in violation of punishment for rules of preventative and low. But in addition, they provide evidence of the crime of genocide in terms of articles to a, b, c, and d, of the genocide conveys as the president , members of the court, this is tech is the final blow that is intended to destroy the palace to noon group can cause they also say is arouse closure of the off crossing is cut off, violate to the strip listening and all ready to die humanitarian crisis. The un says famine in northern gaza is spreading south for the rest across the remains closed. And there is a continued lack of safe and look just to keep viable access to the care and show them across the cross is could not be more urgent. And that is so we, israels assaults on rest. And the closure of these critical crossings all aggravating. The feminine like conditions across garza, were over a 1000000 people are predicted to face catastrophe. Step boston has more from the hague. Now the, the tone today in the court was very urgent to compare to even to the 1st hearings in january. You could feel thats now 4 months since the court has imposed by the orders on this route. Uh, south africa feels time is running out for the people in guys and especially for the people in guys in the are i for they say this is a game that israel is now playing in a rough. Im making sure that the people are now completely wiped of the map and that the guys eyes, which is going to be one big pile of rubble. So they say the court has now to act. It has the power to do so. And so far it has failed to protect the Palestinian People of from this genocide as sort of a last chance. And they also asked the court to be more specific in the new professional measures that they have to impose according to south africa and as well because as well, has been saying that it has been complying, of maybe not completely understanding the order. So they have to be very specific and they have to come very soon. According to south africa. Step 5, some algebra. Take the south african lawyer i the house and spoke to the cold. She outlined the devastating impact is rouse, war has had on children and gaza. More than 14000 has been killed. Thousands who have been injured or lost family members. Violent estimated, 17000 children on the computing or separate nearly all of guys as children have been exposed to traumatic experiences. The consequences of which will last a lifetime to somebody that has more now from just had this book. So thats like is government remains hopeful. The International Court of justice, sol room and its favor and order and immediate in to israels military operations in rasa. And thats, as the killings continue and humanitarian situation wessons. And thats precisely why south africa as approach the court. This is the 3rd time its done. So why its hopeful it is concerned that as well as not observe the previous orders made by the i c j and it ultimately once international to prevail. It wants to protect the rights of palestinians and once a ceasefire in cause of the president of south africa, slowed them up was a in recent days. Has said that so that africa remains unequivocal and unapologetic about its support for palestinian rights and Palestinian People. And weve also previously heard from the International Relations and cooperation with us and the lady bundle. She has said, thats all that for quote, south africa will continue to pursue all legal and diplomatic means to ensure there is a ceasefire in garza. And also that africa has described conditions in gaza in rough uh as apocalyptic. I said that the conditions the a rustic and again is trying to bring some sort of relief to Palestinian People by approaching the court. And while its brought a case of accusations of genocide against israel will take years to be decided on a yes to be heard. Its hoping that there will be some sort of Immediate Intervention by the court to ensure the safety and livelihoods of the palestinians are protected from dumler ultra 0 johannes bug. It is roused, defense minister, you will have gone to the announced additional Ground Forces are being deployed, cut off the offensive is worse and then already die humanitarian crisis in gauze, southern those city. How they might have moved reports from data by and central garza the fiber. Hooked probably is it preparing to bury her husband and her son. But this not the 1st time she has lost loved ones. There is really a tax in this for the table in the house at the beginning of the room and 10 people amounted 5 of them. When my children, wives of my sons and my grandchildren, this is the human cost of israel war and garza pain, suffering despair and a side that has become too familiar to gauze. A population of funeral in an area that was supposed to be the last safe place for Palestinian People here. Find themselves surrounded by intense is rarely bombardment. The theres no safe place to nelfa hun eunice. They slows to jamalia and the say thats enough of safety. Is there any with good now . Is really troops on the ground. The reason they really forces have pushed deeper into rough despite international contamination. And as these really are me prepared to expand its military maneuvers in gauze and south, most city, 600000 people have a slave the area to places like here. And there is by honey my mode. I was just the. 7 there are blocks that the house time honey, my food joins us live now from data. Bella, just outside the citys Main Health Center that some of the hospital understand People Living thing to way you uh, what conditions await them. Yes, that it will. The past the few days that being the quite difficult for people who fled rock by high and underwear in force into this new wave of displacement into the central area. Theyre coming mainly to do it by city. And already small area already over one would be would number of displace families will have a flayed the horror of the war. In the northern part, in gauze and city have been concentrated and dated by the city as it has. It was designated by it is very military as a saved zone, but so far this saved zone hasnt been largely saved. It has to be repeatedly targeted with more homes being destroyed here and much of the public facility. Theyve been severely damaged by era, talks it just a brief walk in the streets of the city and the destruction caused by the intense bonding campaign as a quite visible and leave ones wonder what kind of saves on these really military was referring to. But people are coming to an area already over well over a crowd is running out of space in terms of public facilities in terms of infrastructure. People are taking the streets right, not where to set up their 10 sale or any pocket of land available to set up their tents in it. But the area that theyre coming to are largely lag the basic necessities, basic supplies and infrastructure. Nothise certainly needed maybe one of the most needed uh stores right now is water that is not available in most air. In fact, there is a water crisis across the city with only one water. Thats a nation of plant available, but doesnt have the capacity to accommodate and provide water for everyone in there is blasted in. Thats why its you and your line of to give gallon of water can take half of the or little over at half a day for the vast majority of people. Of course, all of this happening while there are still more people. If leading a rough i under the, the give even the air bombardments and a lot of them are caught in the line of fire. And particularly in the central part of the city at toward the western part of robot. A city where there is a search in the tops and more of the air force displacement orders are given to people who are, is staying in areas that have been designated. At the initial weeks of this genocide, the word has saved zones that some all see evacuation zone at the western part of the city. Meanwhile, this really military continue to create and push people for further internal displacement. While there are 600000 people have already force into displacement into the central area. There is at least a 150000 people of from the northern cities that, that, that includes your value rep is you can parts of it le bid on, on those who are, who managed to live are headed toward the western part of gaza. Those who are trapped inside the refugee comes into your body at the surrounding cities in the northern parts are suffering from the lack of Food Supplies and basic necessity for the past 5 days. And the misery continues, as is really a military intensive 5, its a tax on the refuge account. Right. Thanks so much. I mean my move that as egypt has rejected israels proposal to jointly coordinate the reopening and management to vote off crossing between sign garza. This follows as well seizure of the garza side of the crossing last week. Egypt says the crossing on the gauze aside, should the manage solely by Palestinian Authority representatives according to agreements. The rough crossing is crucial for humanitarian aid and medical evacuations, enclosed and made the 7th. And israel took control of the gods the side a has since piled up on the gyptian side, unable to cross. Oh goodness, sorry. Was the middle of it, the whole big israel continues to engage in evasive actions, to avoid this responsibilities and in devious maneuvering around efforts to achieve a ceasefire. Furthermore, it is defined to adamant about its widely condemned military operation and rough uh and 6 to leverage the rough crossing from the palestinian side to certified siege on the gaza strip. Once again, i definitely states that egypt is unequivocally committed to steadfast position, both in words and actions in rejecting valid creation of the palestinian calls, the false displacement or compulsory migration of the palestinians, as well as the creation of conditions, rendering garza uninhabitable with the aim of feedback awaiting the land of palestine from its people around hon joins us now live from my mind in jordan, because israel is shot down. Ill do Service Operations in israel. So were reporting from outside the country. And ron, look, listening to these comments. I guess they showed just how strange relations are right now between egypt and israel. Right . Or thats absolutely right. These comments come from a presidency off to these writing Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu public. He said that uh, the rafa crossing could open, but you just didnt want to open it. Now. Egypt and israel have a very complicated security relationship. Agreement has the beginnings of that would come, david, which was that help in 1979. The codes that were assigned at car david when specifically talking about ref, i meant the rough i should be the mother tries and palestinians should be in control of the guards inside of the across the one k. Those 2 things on happening. Presidency is also saying effectively to the is raise, the you are in gaza, youve created this mess. This is on isnt on us. But you also have to remember the jefferson is running a tremendous amount of domestic pressure as well. The war is incredibly unpopular amongst egypt. Sion public, so thats something thats easy well be looking at. Youre looking at the voices of the streets that would be hearing a need capitulation. Any agreement with his role is going to be incredibly popular, unpopular, so that it plays into why weve had these comments come out so far. But like i say, we havent had any is really reactions like fall, but its likely that were going to, its something that weve heard before, particularly from Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, who intends to deflect and blame the egyptians for not letting in that humanitarian aid. Now the egyptians are actually fighting back in this, it seems theres very angry words at the beginning of the fight back against these is where the occupations. Thanks to him, ron pon, following with situation from a mind in jordan and the reminder that hes that covering this story because its all his band elder 0 for i think inside israel that spring in moines rabbani. In montreal. Hes the middle east analyst and co editor of the online magazine delia, good to have you with us. First of all, mind maybe be useful to kind of step back a 2nd and remind view as of what the previous agreements say about who manages that off crossing agreements live with 2005 philadelphia agreement. Yes, its the 2005 agreement on movement and access which was reached through i believe us mediation after is real disengaged from the gaza strip. And its specified that the Palestinian Authority in conjunction with European Union union monitors would be responsible for the palestinian side of the crossing. This was basically an indirect way, i think of, of maintaining is really control over the crossing. And then what happened in 2005, sorry, 2007. When to come out, i seized power in the gaza strip. The europeans took a unilateral decision to leave the that are crossing. And egypt use that as a pretext to cooperate with israels blockade. Of the gaza strip. I think whats happened now is with israel so brazenly taking over the crossing. They have exposed egyptian complicity with his early policy towards the gaza strip. Beyond the point a to which the is read, the egyptian leadership can bear. And as and around town was pointing out, it also has to do with it gyptian domestic opposition to the war and gaza. There may will also be powerful forces within the egyptian ruling establishment, and particularly the security establishment who are not too happy at the way the Egyptian Government has been co operating with israel during the past 8 months or so. And its in that context that we need to see the tips of leadership now taking a more public and forceful position of opposition to what is real is doing. All right, so given what youre saying, how series all the wrist is really going on between egypt and israel, then, is this just a new thing . All fostering full domestic consumption in egypt as well. There are certainly posturing involves, but i think it would be mistaken to see this as, as merely playing to the gallery for cosmetic purposes, if you will. It is, it is a very serious issue inside egypt. And that almost by definition makes it a serious issue for the egyptian leadership. And theres a, theres a broader issue here rather than just the details of the agreements, which is egypt has a Central National security principle which is that it will refuse to take responsibility for the gaza strip of the palestinians and the gaza strip. Uh, from israel, in the absence of the comprehensive political settlement. Israel has for years been trying to shove off the gaza strip to egypt. And by closing on their side of the border and saying that egypt should be the one the response of solely responsible for the entry of agents of the gaza strip. I think many in the addiction leadership see this is kind of the surreptitious initiative to try to have the egyptians take responsibility for gods or to through yet another maneuver under simply refusing this wont position is us taking because as you mentioned to us, bro, could some of these agreements, whether were talking about the philadelphia or the cam. David, well the us is acting as a us always doesnt such situations. Namely that is exercise the pressure on egypt to go along with israels demands. And its using the dire humanitarian crisis and the gaza strip as a pretext. So once again, instead of placing pressure on those responsible for creating the crisis, namely this really is its taking is really, is under its way protecting them and putting pressure on egypt to go along with this really demands, its entirely what one would expect. So given what we know about us policy, a wayne robotic good to talk to you. Thanks so much. Thank you. The state Department Says the humanitarian situation in golf, so it continues to deteriorate. Its Deputy Spokesman says washington is urging as well do more to allow sustained access to a manager and conditions on the ground. Continue to do the series and the vital border crossings have closed out of time. With even more aid is critical. We are working tirelessly to serge assistance through all available means to address the impacts of this crisis. Thats why the us established humanitarian maritime courted or to augment not replace ongoing efforts to scale the delivery of humanitarian aid file land. Rosalind in jordan is live for us at the state department in washington dc. So rosamond, it seems lately the us position on gauze or on aid has been somewhat fluid the. What do these license statements tell us about its post to now to well, when you consider of what the Us Government is saying, in the context of what we have heard earlier in the past hour or so from the u. Ns humanitarian aid chief martin griffith, who says that the risk of famine is very real in southern garza and, and ralph in particular because no aid is coming in through the rafa crossing. And the stocks that have already been delivered are starting to run out. It does raise questions about how hard the buys administration is pushing is will to do more to get humanitarian aid in now and lets be clear. The Administration Says that it is putting a lot of pressure on israel to do what the was says is the morally correct thing to awhile. The transport of food, of medi
