hamas, not the palestinian authority, is in control in gaza, and the leader of hamas in gaza, i think he is styled the prime minister now, yahya sinwar, he said of the continued protest, we will ultimately take down the border, and we'll tear out their hearts from their bodies. of course, he's talking about israelis, israeli citizens. what is your view of language like that? first of all, you know, i am the representative of the state of palestine at the united nations. and i represent not only the palestinian national authority, i represent all palestinians, in the occupied territory and outside the occupied territory at the united nations. so you represent yahya sinwar. tell me what your message to yahya sinwar is. i represent all of the palestinian people, including those in the gaza strip, here at united nations. with regard to the statement that you referred to, i did not read it. i am a man of peace. i work under international law. i promote and uphold international law at the united nations, in defending the interests of the palestinian people. i do not advocate war. i stand ag

, including in the gaza strip. live under the israeli occupation, including in the gaza stripm live under the israeli occupation, including in the gaza strip. it is not so much a question of what you advocate, it is what you are prepared to unilaterally, categorically and clearly condemn. will you condemn those words that i quoted to you? i condemn all words that harm civilian populations, whomever they are emanating from and whomever they are emanating from and whomever they are directed against. you earlier referred to gaza as a present. you talked about the desperate conditions, humanitarian conditions that people live in. pretty much 2 million people inside the gaza strip. in that circumstance, why is it that, over recent months, the palestinian authority has been imposing its own financial punishments and sanctions on the people of gaza?|j financial punishments and sanctions on the people of gaza? i would not use, you know, these words that you are using. wejust had a session of the palestine national council,

on the gaza on the people in gaza by cutting salaries and energy supplies to gaza so that has i think exacerbated and maybe accelerated this the crises that we're now seeing these these frequent eruptions you mentioned egypt ok unemployment running at forty four forty five percent in that crucial sixteen to twenty nine age group could egypt i mean shares a border could egypt or should egypt gets involved in this is a prism talk to the egyptians they might be able to pull something out that. well egypt obviously does play a role they play a critical role in brokering the cease fire agreements. and they have an interest obviously in in maintaining a measure of stability on its border. with an already unstable gaza sinai border so. it has an interest in doing that on the other hand it does not want to inherit the two million palestinians in the gaza strip israel has been inclined i think to sort of more and more push gaza toward toward egypt egypt will occasionally in order to release some pressure. open the border crossing to allow some people and goods to move back and forth but these

every entry point and gaza has been closed for years except this one point which is a car on shalom this area itself fifty five percent of anything going into gaza right now is being stopped so we're talking about tons of goods going into that area can't go in any more this is since just yesterday when the president netanyahu made the announcement that the only thing that will be allowed to go in is humanitarian aid and food now all put aside we're talking about medical aid we're talking about we were putting livestock and up till today fuels were allowed but now we're hearing that fuels will not be allowed until at least next sunday for the businesses there which really hurting them here is construction materials furniture wood tronics fabrics all blankets also we're talking about generators all these things are going to be stopped from going in truckloads we're at the border and. they were turned back so this is the situation god of gaza was under siege before you can be sure that it's been up to bit by israel in the past couple of days alex you know there is always even in confli

there is going to need to be some sort of new approach to gaza. you have the un co—ordinator working on that. i do believe the white house itself is working on a new approach to gaza. i think there is wide recognition as to how dangerous the situation is. that new approach, do we know what it might entail? i think i focus right now is less on the sort of big—ticket projects in gaza which have been big focus in the past, and more an effort, in exchange for a calm front in gaza and they come into these rocket and mortar attacks, an increase in the quick rehabilitations projects which might make a difference on the ground in gaza. it may sound a lot like what has happened in the past but i think there is an effort to bring things online quickly as opposed to larger projects which have gone on in the past. thank you very much. michael singh, seniorfellow past. thank you very much. michael singh, senior fellow at the washington institute. the former sinn fein president gerry adams has appealed to those who carried out an attack on his home in west

an uneasy truce appears to be holding along the israel gaza border it follows a day of violence on friday that saw israeli astronauts and tank fire hit dozens of hamas targets following the death of an israeli soldier four palestinians were killed and at least one hundred twenty wounded stephanie jacka the latest from gaza . i. have masses military wing in the kasam brigades are burying their dead three of their members were killed on friday afternoon israel struck various ham ass monitoring posts along the border soon after an israeli soldier was shot from gaza he later died of his wounds sixty sites belonging to have mass were attacked by israeli forces late into the night a few rockets were fired from gaza in response and a cease fire was announced hours later it's the second ceasefire in a week but i don't think this would last for a long time along graduate i think it's better for us. unfortunately and we will have just. go through this or story after that we'll have the same story because many problems over the. people and. the pattern of escalation the fire as elation ceasefire bet

and egypt and hopefully relieving a little bit of pressure in gaza what about gaza and its relationship with the west bank that how will fatah respond. there are no two ways about it i mean five to his demanding full control of security in the gaza strip and i suspect hamas would be happy to hand that over to to the p.a. as long as they guarantee their ability to continue their right to resist occupation and to build towards any potential. encounter with the israelis now the p.a. is unlikely to agree to that and i think that's going to remain an issue of difference between the two the issue of the civil service and the people who have been either hired by hamas or added to the figures of civil service in gaza and the payment of the salaries that should really be easy to resolve if anything if nothing it will be resolved on the humanitarian basis given the level of unemployment in the in the area it's almost forty nine percent and as you know fifty three percent of the people live on the poverty line so paying salaries is really should be seen as a humanitarian act in the first instance

gaza's martyrdom. a definitive study of this. and what has happened since 2005 is straightforward. the previous history is ugly 2005, israel he hawks recognized that it didn't a couplee to keep thousand jewish settlers illegally settling in gaza using devoting aurces and large part of the israeli army to protect them. that was senseless. so they decided to move them from their illegal subsidize illegalnts in gaza to subsidize settlements in areas that israel wanted to keep, in the west bank. this was framed as a traumatic event but it was a play for world opinion. and they pulled out and it was called a withdrawal. they remained under total israeli occupation because the army wasn't inside. gaza was controlling it from the outside. there was an agreement reached between palestinians and israel on a cease-fire. the opening of gaza seaport and the airport that israel had destroyed. opening the borders. be free flow could between israel and egypt and so on. and it lasted a couple of weeks. in january, the

aid to gaza financially supported by one third so there was. not only bilateral it goes with the united states since we are still expecting president trump to come up with his blueprint so the hamas is saying don't forget us we are not only part of the problem we are also we have to be part of this solution on the other hand i think that the hamas knows one or two things about israeli politics and they they know that netanyahu is under great pressure from his own coalition from his own party they want to see results they there is a lot of criticism nowadays about it and how that is traveling to moscow while he never showed up in the early feels in the south even the labor party let alone the extreme right is now demonstrating cooling actually tonight there is a demonstration in tel aviv against the ten yo that he abandons the people who are now under another attack of rockets and constant fire and losing the fields to those kite attacks oversteps took his seventy thanks david being with us keep that from a longer use against civil aviation auth

now late on friday afternoon there was again protests along the israel gaza border according to the gaza health ministry some four people were killed and more than one hundred and twenty injured that came in response following that what happened is that you had the israel saying that it was issuing retaliate three strikes after its troops had been fired upon and so that sparked the latest round of violence well we are also hearing reports that the i.d.f. has been accused of using excessive force in some cases live ammunition. all of these protests along the gaza border happening for the past two months and they come roughly to the day that operation protective edge the last when gaza in two thousand and fourteen began and if you remember there was a war that left more than two thousand palestinians killed and some seventy three israelis dead so there is concern on the ground that the situation is continuing and potentially could intensify in the coming hours and we could see a full scale war. correspondent paula with the latest thank you. in the meantime another four palestinians have be

hamas since the gaza war and twenty fourteen israeli jets targeted several neighborhoods in the gaza strip and the military says it's struck dozens of hamas targets meanwhile hamas has fired more than seventeen mortar bombs and rockets on israel nearly a dozen have been intercepted amassed says the attack was meant to stop israeli escalation and its myth is live for us and gaza but what more can you tell us about these deaths and indeed the trading of these two a tux. well so i can tell you that we've just heard in the last couple of minutes local media is reporting that a ceasefire egypt in egypt and security officials have mediated ceasefire between hamas and the israelis that comes into play now seven o'clock local time so just started a couple of minutes ago but before that news that i've just been given we've become perilously close to a very serious escalation as far as i've been able to see those two teenagers were killed in an airstrike that was hit a target just a couple of kilometers from where i'm standing and shook buildings all around me and we're right in gaza city the

today thank you for that live for us in gaza knowledge is there is stephanie decker is also in gaza with more on what life is like for palestinians living under these really brocades. away from the politics and away from the military escalation between hamas and israel it really is about the almost two million people who are blockaded inside gaza life looks like it continues as normal it does continue as normal but everyone you speak to here will tell you the same thing that might come increasingly more difficult than many people will tell you that what they're enduring here is not a life. we can't live i make a maximum of three dollars a day and it isn't enough we ask him if he can make ends meet. i can't afford anything to work as a tailor in israel before the blockade i made around the thousand three hundred dollars. a month of the moment i come to make three hundred dollars a month exchanging money i work two shifts a day morning and night ma that's the meaning of humanity is missing in gaza most people are educated but can't find work people are straight on to prest people are

struck at al jazeera gaza. jhoom following developments for us out of west jerusalem he's just sent us this update. after hours of escalation in gaza has a ceasefire been reached well that very much depends on who you ask according to hamas a cessation of hostilities has actually been achieved how my spokesman fozia but whom issuing a statement saying that with egyptian and united nations efforts it has been agreed to return to the era of calm between israel and palestinian factions that all being said however israel israel's army has not commented on if a cease fire has actually been reached we've been reaching out to them repeatedly since the announcement by hamas that that ceasefire has been reached there has been no comment from israel's army the last several hours we have heard from israel's army that operations have been ongoing in the gaza strip that israel's army had targeted upwards of sixty five targets also there had been reports through israeli media outlets that for the last several hours israel se

reconstruction efforts inside gaza so this comes as something of a surprise but i think it signifies that the israeli prime minister wants to make some kind of firmer act against this what the israelis a core a calling arson terror on the gazan borders and just to be clear harry ad gulzar has been under israeli things for many years now and has been suffering all sorts of things like met a few hours electricity per day and all sorts of shortages this is obviously anything to make it worth. well that's the thing that starts the thing which everybody is concerned about the fact that two million human beings live inside gaza that this measure as much as the israelis say that they aspire to improve the humanitarian situation and that this is this is directed against hamas which is in control of gaza the impact of this will be felt hugely by those who live inside the territory they the humanitarian goods are being exempted for this so from this so food livestock animal feed and medicine won't be included but half of the trucks that come to gaza every day about four hundred trucks contain

the frustration that people here in gaza feel is completely understandable it is boiling over but it has been boiling over for months before the protest started i think people felt that they had lost hope in any other alternative on the ground but i worry very much that it is not just a humanitarian crisis it is also a political crisis and a security crisis and that is why any approach to moving forward needs to address these three factors not just one of them. the special envoys referring to the failed reconciliation of hamas in gaza and faster in the occupied west bank while israel's blockade is seen as the root of gaza's problems the palestinian political crisis is making things worse hamas and other armed groups have much larger rockets at their disposal but they haven't used any of them an indication perhaps of the desire to avoid an escalation into an all out war but gaza is still under siege and the frustration to do something about that grows stronger and stronger every day burnitz with al-jazeera gaza. still ahead for you on this program widespread condemnation of nicaragua'
