Also a Pivotal Moment for the republican contender nikki haley . It is. President biden will be the democratic nominee and donald trump is probably going to be the republican nominee. People are saying that this is nikki haleys last band. I dont think it is the end for her. For her it isnt about the maths and the electoral college, she is trying to make a statement. I think it is crazy that conservative republicans arent taking her seriously. But i think there is more in the future for her. I dont know if it is third party or the no labels party that has been backing her so far, but i think there is more to be heard from her. And im hoping for an upset, at least in one state, tomorrow. Just for fun. Upset, at least in one state, tomorrow. Just forfun. In tomorrow. Just for fun. In terms of tomorrow. Just for fun. In terms of Super Tuesday, i have seen a few elections, as im sure you have, how would you rate this for drama . It is probably the least exciting one, isnt it .

I wouldnt be surprised if you did something tomorrow to mix the news. You mentioned tomorrow to mix the news. You mentioned they tomorrow to mix the news. You mentioned they could be a particular upset in one of the states. Do you or any analysts have a state to keep an eye on . I have my eye on virginia and maine, where they have open primary is. I think nikki haley, she could turn at different kinds of voters. There are different voters in our primary election than their rnr General Election. A lot more people vote in a General Election than do the prime areas, which is unfortunate because so much is decided in the primaries, and by the time to get to the General Election, you have limited choices. So well have to see what turnout is like. , well have to see what turnout is like. ,. ,. ,. , is like. Less drama on the democrat is like. Less drama on the democrat side. Is like.

I think President Biden gets to run on the fact that he created 11 million newjobs and gets to run on the fact that he is going to protect a womans right to choose and abortion access. This will be the contrast between him and donald trump, and the 91 Felony Counts against the former president. So i think there is going to be chaos in the upcoming election bought by donald trump and joe biden will be the city candidate he has been and is Deputy President that he has been to date.

Israel has repeatedly said that the brutality against the victims of the hamas attacks on october 7 included Sexual Violence. Now, a team of experts from the un has concluded there are reasonable grounds to believe that Sexual Violence occurred during the attacks, and theres convincing information that hostages taken by the group have been subjected to it. Hamas has denied the allegations. Pramila patten is the un special representative on Sexual Violence in conflict. Just talk us through the situation here for us. Apologies, lets hearfrom her. With regard to the hostages taken to gaza, we found clear and convincing information that Sexual Violence, including rape, sexualised order, cruel, Inhuman And Degrading Treatment has been committed against captives. And we also have reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing to those still in captivity. I pause and must add that i am of the strong opinion that i am of the strong opinion that this finding does not in any way legitimise further violence but actually reinforces the need for an urgent ceasefire. Meanwhile, the head of the Main Un Agency In Gaza Has complained it faces a deliberate and Concerted Campaign to end its operations. Philippe lazzarini told the Un General Assembly in new york that donors have been flooded with misinformation about unrwa. He says israel has also failed to provide further information about allegations made injanuary that 12 of its staff took part in the attacks on october 7. Unrwa is facing a deliberate and conservative attempt to undermine its operations and ultimately end them. Operations that are mandated by this assembly. Part of this campaign involves inundating donors with misinformation designed to foster distrust and tarnish the reputation of the agency. Dismantling unwra is shortsighted. By doing so we will sacrifice an entire generation of children, sowing the seeds of hatred, resentment, and future conflict. The notion that the agency can be dismantled without violating a host of human rights and jeopardising International Peace and security is naive at best. This is all happening as the white house says Vice PresidentKamala Harris has expressed deep concern over the humanitarian situation in gaza, during talks with the israeli war cabinet member, benny gantz. This image has been released from the meeting. The Vice President s office says she urged israel to let more aid into gaza, while calling on hamas to accept the terms of a gantz will later meet with the us� s top diplomat, Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken despite criticisms of the trip by some in the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahus government. Live now to dalia fahmy, director of International Relations and Associate Professor of politics at long island university. Thank you very much forjoining us. First, for people who are unaware who Benny Gantz Is, can you talk us through his role in israel and why he is in the us . He is a member of the war cabinet in israel who joined just after the october seven attacks but is a centrist politician, seen as a political rival to benjamin netanyahu, the Prime Minister, and his popularity is soaring. The Prime Minister is not happy Benny Gantz Is in washington on this tour, and what is indicated through benny gantz� s visit with Kamala Harris, and the subsequent meeting with the Secretary Of State, is that there is the internal politics within israel that has been played out on the International World stage. The polls within israel say that if benny gantz were to run against the Prime Minister today he indeed would be elected pm. Sorry centrist politician entering the war cabinet after october seven, very popular, and as netanyahus popularity neta nyahus popularity decreases because netanyahus popularity decreases because of the humanitarian situation, he is seen as the future of israel. What impact do you think it could have . As you say, not exactly endorsed by the israeli government, but could he have any say in their thinking, and the mood among the israeli population, as well, the public . Ii population, as well, the ublic . Population, as well, the ublic . ~. Public . If we take a wider setback. Public . If we take a wider setback, the public . If we take a wider setback, the Meeting Public . If we take a wider setback, the meeting between him and the Vice President and the Vice President s statement is also indicative of internal United States politics. Before the Vice President s statement, the Vice President s statement, the African Methodist Church bishops said that the us should and aid to israel. 200 atlanta black leaders were calling for a ceasefire. The perception was the administration, the biden administration, had become increasingly silent on the humanitarian crisis, especially in the wake of the Flower Crisis of as the Flower Attack of two or three days ago. Flour. The Vice President making this statement in georgia, then meeting with benny gantz, it is a response notjust benny gantz, it is a response not just to the benny gantz, it is a response notjust to the black leaders, but to the fact that last week, in the United States, the uncommitted vote, led by the Arab American voters, that there isnt the kind of Carte Blanche support of President Biden is indicative there is domestic politics here in the United States and within israel thatis United States and within israel that is playing out on the issue of gaza. With the rise of the humanitarian crisis has captured the imagination of the world, the Vice President had to respond on behalf of the United States, and benny gantz� s tour is also indicative of that. There is the International Crisis as it is been seen as what is happening in gaza, but the internal politics of israel in the United States. Politics of israel in the United States. � ,. , United States. Always good to net our United States. Always good to get your perspective, United States. Always good to get your perspective, dalia. Get your perspective, dalia fahmy. Dalia fahmy, director of International Relations and Associate Professor of politics at long island university. Thank you very much forjoining us. Thank you. The situation in gaza remains dire. The who says children are dying of starvation in the north after visits over the weekend to two hospitals, the first since early october. Fergal keane sent this update on the situation there from jersualem, and i should warn you that his report contains distressing images. A grief so calamitous it is deaf to the rumours of peace. This is the 150th day of war. And each day, the images of the grieving and of the dead are beamed to the world. This woman was sheltering with 45 Family Members when a rocket struck. Seven were killed, including two children. A ceasefire might save the living. It wont bring back the dead. Nawaf zrey has lived and worked among the dead since the war began. He is a shrouder. He cleans and wraps the dead for Burial Hundreds of them. Yes, but their families dont yet know theyre dead. 30,000 deaths have created many widows and orphans. Near rafah, they stay together, in a camp of the widows, within a larger camp. New structures are being built. The un estimates 3,000 women have been widowed by war. Zahra al ras, aged 26, has four children. One of them is disabled. Another suffered severe burns. Her husband, mahmoud, was killed when he went to find food for the family a month ago. Zahra found him dying in hospital. Often these days there is nothing to eat. Like the bereaved of all wars, this Family Clings to fragments of a world broken beyond repair. The children are zahras life now, the living world she holds in her arms. Fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. The Security Situation continues to deteriorate in haiti.
