New york and los angeles. As more arrange something nice. This route pounds has belonged positions across living homes for the in the heaviest file. I think. Since develop again the it is 22 g m take the white house has described the reports of mass graves and gaza is deeply disturbing. The European Union and the United Nations has joined International Calls for an independent pro open to the situation. Now on wednesday, another 51. 00 bodies were found in the grounds. The hospital, in con eunice, more than 300, had been discovered since saturday. Hospitals have protection on the international law, but have come under. He is ready bombardment, since as well as war on council began. And on top of that, the Us National Security advisor Jake Sullivan says washington wants on says as those reports are deeply disturbing. We have been in touch at multiple levels with the israeli government. We want answers, we want to understand exactly what happened. Youve seen some public commentary from the adf on that, but we want to know the specifics of what the circumstances of this were. And we want to see this thoroughly and transparently investigated so that the whole world can have a comprehensive answer and we, the United States cant as well, i cant speak beyond that because of course, were in the early days of fully understanding what happened. We are gravely concerned by the, by the result, the discovery of most grace in the founding unique. I mean, uh ill, she follow speed obviously something that the forces us to quote for an independent investigation of older suspicions and all the circumstances. Because indeed it to create the impression that there might have been violations of International Human rights committed. Thats why its important to have independent investigation and to ensure the accountability kept them on this. Lets go straight to the honey jar. Castro who joins us now from washington. Dc and heidi, those are pretty strong with from both the white house and the you just how much should we be making of them the right. They are strong words, but there was a key difference between those 2 statement and those 2 statements. Jake sullivan, the white house National Security advisor, did not use the word independent at all and his description of the type of investigation that the us is taking here. He did say the us wants answers and that these reports of the mass graves are disturbing. But he did not say who he wanted to do this investigation. That is a question that our colleagues elizondo put to the us deputy ambassador to the un earlier in the day, asking if the us was pushing for an independent investigation. He was told no, but that the us would be talking to other countries and also reviewing photos. But that again, these reports of the mass graves are deeply disturbing. And honey, weve known about these mess cries for some time. So why is the white house speaking out about them now . And will these woods actually be made with any sort of action . Thats right. Now, the white house and the us state department, they have them putting out comments. As more information came out in the numbers of these bodies have been growing, but youre right today was the strongest comments on the mask res. Yet, and there has been pressure on the United States to be more outspoken and to take action on this. Not only from other world leaders, but also from american use with so many people now taking to the countries, universities staging these protests in support of palestinians and talking about the discovery of these mass graves. As yet more evidence that the us must change its policy on israel, but that change is not anywhere in the distance. By most forecast. Youll see that just today us President Joe Biden signed into law, get another military, a package to israel. So as you said, there is more rhetoric here. Action though has been for not forthcoming data. Okay, thanks so much for that, heidi. How did you like history for us there in washington . Dc with heidi mentioned earlier at the you in headquarters in your account is here as Gabriella Ellis on the asked for hon hawk deputy spokesperson full. The secretary general about the possibilities of an investigation into the mass graves discovered at nasa and else chief of hospitals and guys, and that this was their exchange. There was another mass graves discovered at unnecessary hospital 51 people. This now brings it up to more than 300, that if palestinians that have been pulled from mass graves at the 2 largest hospitals, an e u spokesperson today called for an independent investigation. Volk or turk is called for an independent investigation. Yesterday a step step was asked about it. He called for an independent investigation. My question is, whats next . When will we see this happen . First, well have to see what kind of investigations are plan but, but our calls as used as you yourself know, did have been made and, and they stand um, uh, at this point. Uh uh, there are many entities on the ground including the World Health Organization. The generic committee and the red cross and offices, the High Commission for human rights. Uh and uh and uh they can follow up on any Rights Violations that may have occurred at the grounds of hospitals. A, but an independent, effective, and transparent investigation to the desk. Ad nasir and ill ship a hospitals must be conducted. The World Health Organization has repeated. Its called for a hospitals, health workers, patients and civilians to be be protected, to have their basic human rights respected. Uh and as plans are reportedly being made for potentially further fighting, we ask that all parties continue to work to keep hospital safe. Can i have a couple of follow ups please for hon. Um, are any of the u. N. H agencies that are working in guys are right now, admittedly under very difficult conditions equipped to investigate mass graves. I dont believe that the situation on the ground is conducive to investigations at this point. Uh again uh there needs to be a halt of fighting, and this is something weve called for repeatedly. Okay, if i made another one, if you dont mind, because its very important is or for an independent investigation to take place. Would it need permission from israel for any of this goes across our work for any investigations to be effective. All of the parties in the area uh that control access uh sufficient to conduct the investigation would need to agree to it. So hes real would have to agree to allowing any independent investigators and that seems to pose a very large problem, considering that israel is accused of perpetrating these crimes. How are they then going to agree to allowing and investigators to independent investigators that seems like it puts the un in a very, for lack of a better word, difficult position on. How are you going to get an independent investigation then . Well, again, this is something thats been true across the board with our investigations. Theres always difficulties in terms of places where conflict has occurred to get the access we need, but ultimately, for any investigation to be meaningful. You need that access can. Lets take a closer look at al shape a hospital where some of the mass graves were found. Satellite images show at the hospital a complex and open ga. So before is there any forces besieged to compound . This is an image all the ill ship hospital at the beginning of april to is ready forces entered and occupied the compounds of 2 weeks. The 2 met scribes were found in the hospital grounds for with guns. A Civil Defense authorities have been recovering the bodies of those who were killed. Luigi danielle is a single extra ad nauseum law school. He was among the academics invited by human rights organizations to discuss the special rebel to his guys like genocide report at the you in the human rights council. He says, systematic crimes have already been committed in casa on a roof ex scale. We are witnessing reports by a multi police city of crazy bull human rights organizations, Media Outlets documenting you a relevant list targeting of cdns or otherwise protected by students of at least 2518 workers. That being to you the, the, the, off the, some of the coordination of do you mind study and affairs accounts for a 190 out workers queued since the beginning of these media dot com. So. Ready its true that there being no concrete results of existing investigations, but we dont know if nothing is happened because the International Court was already investigating pro Level International crimes by both parties to this conflict. And the prosecutor, the International Court, is made clear in multiple locations. So that the court easy investigating also probable crimes committed by these really are me. So there is a distinct, likely thats august. Were on our event event for you as a leaders, but let me stress that they are longer overdue. The injustice then system of the crimes and already been completed on their re fi, cooks k as these muskrats demonstrate so. So the International Community should the pressure immediate to rest warrants to try to prevent the continuation of these crimes . Are there have been a series of this riley strikes and rougher and southern guys are in the past few hours . One of the strikes of the house in the camp killing at least one person and wounding several others as they were rushed to hospital. Another strongly kid of building near you in clinic. Ill just say it was dark if it was the room, was a coy through hospital and the injured who brought the treatment he sent us. This report has not sold in rough all these very minute tree attacks, and the goal is the strip has completely rammed up as a residential house was completely destroyed in the refuge account as a clarity right now the injuries are receiving right now. Treatments in a way to hospital as the vast majority of casualties amongst facilities. Now, this is the area where the materials or jobs this population has been told to stay and to remain done in order to guarantee the own safety pump. What we can clearly recruit and observe when does the past couple of weeks is play. Search is very attractive. Ones that very densely populated area in light of the anticipated managing cage. And that will be carried out by the is very minute treat within the coming days. That is the situation right now with the ground this thomas city, it was like have no well left to go. Start recognizing how just a rough, rough kind of sewing scuffles have broken out between police and protest as outside the residence of these ready Prime Minister off to a mouse released the video of the hostage they demanded netanyahu 2 more to secure the release of the remaining captives and guns of Police Escorted his riley National Security minister timothy and give it to his car through the crowd and run that police within deployed as protest as much towards government buildings.

The release of this video to add to the pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu as he presses on with these plans to launch a military operation. In rafa, its a reminder that hes really captives will be as much in the line of fire as the modem, one and a half 1000000 palestinians sheltering the border with egypt. Bernard smith islanders era, you dont keep bodies, jerusalem, a protest and so forth of palestine. This spring on College Campuses across the United States, the white house is present. Joe biden supports free speech and non discrimination on campuses. The scuffles at the university of texas as the police and state truth is trying to disperse the crowds. The hundreds of students have been arrested in the us since friday, or we have correspondents covering these purchased from coast to coast, john henry and the standing by for us at Columbia University in new york. But 1st, its got a real reynolds who joins us from the university of Southern California and rub, can you just give us a sense of exactly what it is like there on campus right now . Right now its very feasible. There are hundreds, at least a 1000 or so primarily here in the center of the phantom slogans like to be see, the fellow side will be 3 other color genocide. Ceasefire for 3 or 4. Im going to be a separate. Okay. Any fines this university which is highly regarded private institution and whos real, who do i mean is really the other entities. They say they dont want their tuition. The money used to support the, you know, this campus has also been a loyal over the past week. Apply a contribution involving a young woman. Awesome. Awesome was develop victory addressed during graduation ceremonies scheduled for next month. But after an Online Campaign to fly, just do more organizations and rail non us. The numbers for people Online Campaign see is denied by the university, and they said that she was really no evidence whatsoever. So that while people up here and as i said, these people here are not all for some faculty members as well, who, reaching out in support of the student protests that ive joined now by professor joe armor of the faculty law here with us. Thank you for joining us professor armor. You spoke to the students here a few moments ago, what formats to the protest University Administration. Yeah, the, the University Administration has not been practicing what say for reprieve students to free the importance of being politically active, of caring about the world that intervening to make a positive difference. And then when the facilities try to take us up on that stuff that we teach them in the classroom, we track down on and then we are cracking down on them. Not for any kind of free speech. We will tolerate a lot of free speech. But when it seemed to be pro palestinian and anti war free speech that going to russell the feathers of the donors, we start cracking down and engaging in 1st degree hypocrisy. We did it when it came to us from the bottom. Who was our ballad, the tory, and she worked hard to get their own growth in the precedent about the torrent being able to give Community Features and yet the administrator and say, well um that particular occasion, were not going to let you do it because we have safety concern, but weve had other controversial speakers on campus in which they didnt shut down. For example, been shapiro came to campus 2018 spoken boulevard. Lot of trouble. A lot of protests around it, but the University Said our secret value is freedom of expression and were going to pay the price of our conviction, surprised the principal by the pay not security and letting him speak. And thats what they did. And we were able to celebrate the few bits of paying the price of the you saying about toners uh, to the university wealthy people provide funding or that this really for the university matter. Yes. Sadly, you think and hope that the university with guided by pedagogical value 1st 5 values having to do with free speech making those sacred interest. But instead, were starting to see the universities are really 1000000000 dollar corporations that respond to the kinds of incentives sent to them by donors. And thats tragic that very say i and i think thats do use i the opening up to that reality now. And theyre becoming active and trying to really take control of their university so that the focus is on learning. Not on satisfying. Dont just one more question, very quickly. Progressive care, a lot of accusations that the chance, for example, right now were hearing from the river to to see, tell us i will be glad that people are saying thats can type some of this. So we have lots of students here who are jewish to do is boy the piece, for example, i was here this morning. We had lots of juries in muslim and palestinian fantastic. I am privacy, student, intergenerational coming together. The everybody should hate anti semitism and fight any semitism, but be opposed to israel slaughter and gaza that the, that the union is said that it may possibly be genocide does not, does not mean that youre anti submitted and the need to stop allowing people to a webinar and the semitism against real valid protests professor. We got to go. Thank you ve
