Well meanwhile russia and china have vetoed a United Nations resolution that would allow cross border aid deliveries from turkey and iraq to millions of syrian civilians for another year mike hanna has more from the u. N. The establishment of the 4 crossing points has been renewed each year the 1st time that russia backed by china has cast a veto the drafters of the resolution had initially wanted 5 crossing points to be established but then they reduce this to 3 in the bill to avoid the russian and chinese veto but even this watered down resolution failed to pass raising once again the question of the credibility of the Security Council just as i was sitting in the seat in a state of shock i am continuing to stand here in a state of shock and as many of you know when i started the presidency in the month of december i talked about credibility in the council and today we took a huge step backwards in credibility where it really matters russia in turn introduced its own resolution suggesting to crossing points be open for a period of 6 months both on the Turkish Border this was rejected by 6 members of the council who labeled it as a cynical political move the United Kingdom voted against the russian text because we will not negotiate with a gun held to our heads over a cynical offer that would say fewer lives than we know is needed and that the u. N. Very clearly set out was necessary. The one year term for the fall crossing points expires on the 10th of january and unless the Security Council can come up with a compromise resolution by that date it will be millions of syrians with no humanitarian aid. Well lets get more on this now were joined by Joshua Landis hes the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma and hes joining us live from there mr landis always good to have you with us on aljazeera before we get to know why the u. N. Why we a seeing these resolutions vetoed at the u. N. Why are we seeing an escalation in activity by both the Syrian Government and russia and well i think theyre theyre ready to go on the offensive they want to take this province back. And syria has for a long time insisted that they have the highway open between damascus and aleppo the main highway thats now near. Days to cities that syria is is bombing most heavily right now and moving towards and so it seems inevitable that syria will eventually take back these provinces the latest fed up with the syrian situation they moved their gaze elsewhere i could tell you in the United States the syrian story is not down the front page for a long time its all about impeachment elections and ever since President Trump withdrew from syria with her u. S. Troops theres really been very little syrian news here but what will be the cost of the Syrian Government you know retaking the region is home to 3000000 people including 1000000 children 40 percent of the people there come from the previously opposition how areas so whats going to happen to these people. Well its if as you you know weve stated over and over again this is a humanitarian disaster waiting to happen there are many militants in this region syria is using that as a pretext or as an excuse to destroy them and we know that the United States just you know a little while ago bombed it live province itself in order to kill kill of baghdad he who had taken refuge there with some of his men many isis people had fled into the region so the World Opinion may be less. Maybe divided over this region and this you know the world is really not looking turkey has closed the border and even though it is waving its arms at this in asking to International Community to do something about it right its very unlikely that there will be anything done some do you see anything happening then at the United Nations between before that january 10th deadline where the cross border deliveries at the moment the mandate is only until then. Well it will depend on whether there is some sort of some sort of compromise between russia and turkey and the International Community on this about what to do about Eastern Syria which of course the United States has continued to move their troops into Eastern Syria to protect syrian oil and turkey of course is pushing into that region as well its quite clear that russia is using this as leverage to get its way and to get syrian way further in the eastern provinces the United States just put much more intense sanctions on syria and in the 2 days ago with the caesar sanctions and those who are implicate russia and iran if they try to rebuild or invest any money in syria theres going to be stricter sanctions on any private company or Government Company that tries to do business with the Syrian Government so i think the Foreign Community has ratcheted up the pressure but that may not be enough mr landis thank you as always for the time that is that Joshua Landis live in Norman Oklahoma thank you pleasure. Lets move on to other news now the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal court says she wants to open an investigation into alleged war crimes in palestinian territory once its just the jurisdiction as a step both israelis and palestinians face the possibility of having charges filed against them palestinians have welcomed the decision but israels Prime Minister says that i think he doesnt have jurisdiction to investigate me that abraham reports from ramallah. Its one of the alleged war crimes the International Criminal court to me investigate the targeted killing of unarmed protesters along gazas border fence with israel chief prosecutor fatah been sued the says shes satisfied war crimes have been or are being committed in the gaza strip and the west Bank Including occupied East Jerusalem she says because of the complexity of the situation she will ask the i. C. C. To rule on the territories on which it has jurisdiction palestinians welcome what they call a long overdue investigation will hoping that the i. C. C. Will hold those who are committing crimes against our people against our land. And the crimes that are climbing that you countable crimes and no more crimes are being committed on the Palestinian Land which will basically set the stage for ending the occupation and thus opening the oracle of the scope but israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says the court has no jurisdiction to investigate in the palestinian territories this is a dark day for truth and justice the i. C. C. Prosecutor has apparently decided not to dismiss outright the palestinian claim against the state of israel this is a baseless and ridges decision the court has no jurisdiction in this case the i. C. C. Only has jurisdiction over petitions submitted by sovereign states but theres never been a pounds to. The court based in the netherlands will only investigate alleged crimes committed after june 2014 when palestine became part of the i. C. C. Has jurisdiction. In the past 5 years thousands of new illegal settlement units were developed along with the confiscation of Palestinian Lands and demolition of their homes israels response isnt unexpected it says the i. C. C. Lacks validity over the Israeli Palestinian conflict since israel is not a member of the court and palestine is not a state even though the United Nation granted palestine the status of nonmember state 7 years ago palestinian leaders say any crimes committed on palestinian territory must fall into the courts jurisdiction.
