I can agree with president saddam where the. When he says that unpredictability can be a very useful tool in the body but the litigation that we thought of all of them. If you will look to use an unlimited exemption from the proposed codes. And we are ready to engage in talks with our transatlantic popped up i need to unpredictability. In light of p. And a lot think we need to repeat. Look to negotiate weve just words of double cross over all that is a matter of dignity we have no illusions so low low High Expectations full of constant you know. At state approach to us if you will of the west that. Got to me still we have the highest expectations and if comes to washington. Also coming up on the day the killings at the gaza border fence the struggle to report it the morality vacuum and families left the more i didnt want her to come out that day she kept crying so i let her go sometime after eleven i got the news that she was dead. We begin the day with a rare almost unprecedented message from europe for the United States not with us thank you very much today all twenty eight leaders of the European Union announced that they are on the same page when it comes to defining u. S. President donald trump last week the u. S. President withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal and has threatened economic sanctions against countries that continue to do business in iran that includes the United States most important ally europe washington has pushed policies in the past which europe did not support but almost always both sides sought and found Common Ground thats how good friends remain good friends but donald trump the rival at the white house is apparently redefined that term and so much more so today after more than a year of trying to influence accommodate or tolerate the most powerful man in the world the European Union drew a line in the transatlantic same. New development we have to act now and thats the reason why we initiated the process of recourse to the blocking status regulation from nine hundred ninety six which i have to deal with extraterritorial application of sanctions when they affect the European Union so well do that tomorrow morning ten thirty first thing its not the jokes about it its that because i think its a its a defense the ethical high problem today with our friends on the other side of atlantic. Because how can they agree with President Trump was. When he says that unpredictability can be a very useful tool in politics but only gave me so all of this. All right lets pull in our correspondent band record he was in Sofia Bulgaria covering this summit this evening he needs you parents we know e. U. Leaders today they appear united against strong thats the picture that were see today can they maintain this united front is the big question and for how long. But so far the us seems to be determined actually to pick a fight with donald trump to tell him enough is enough across this line. For france germany and britain the three big e. U. Countries city and so feel we have to stand up against the trump and to show him that he cannot impose sanctions or tariffs against European Countries in this iran deified and he cannot impose sanctions for still another million country as he wishes companies as he wishes so now is the time to show him that we are united how long this will last we dont know if the americans can put a wedge between france germany and britain then maybe this front. If. Chooses to punish single cunt companies from france germany or britain maybe then they will be successful but as of now this front stands but nobody knows how long and that was our correspondent brant record at the e. U. Summit in sofia also to come on the day a new ebola threat in congo the deadly virus spreads from the remote country zion to a large City Health Officials are racing to contain the outbreak more on that later in the day. Although it has been three days or since Israeli Forces killed sixty palestinians along the gaza border it happened as the new u. S. Embassy in jerusalem was dedicated or today the arab league held an emergency meeting and called for an investigation into the killings at the u. N. A proposal for an independent investigation was blocked by the United States. More tolerable but the. Call for a credible International Investigation about to the crimes committed by the occupiers on the cause of borders in the last few days which resulted in the deaths of more than sixty martyrs. In the kind of you assert your total for the kingdom of saudi arabia rejects the United States embassy moved to jerusalem. We see this stephas prejudicial to the historic rights of the Palestinian People in jerusalem with beautiful quotes one joined now by our own home in tel aviv she is a military correspondent with the druze on post your taking the time to be on the show tonight it appears unlikely that an independent investigation will take place into the Gaza Killings are there any calls inside israel for an investigation. There actually calls for an independent us occasion by the head of the minutes party thats a Left Wing Party to mines on both she has called for an investigation into the deaths of the sixty p. Postilions who were killed so i sixty two palestinians who were killed in gaza on monday and tuesday she said that there needs to be an investigation as to why so much live fire was used what the rules of engagement actually are but i mean israel is like in every other democratic country you always have parties that are calling for one thing and part is calling for another med its known for this but the majority of the government under the right wing. Government in the know are not calling for such investigation and why is that why do they not want an investigation when so many people were killed. Well i believe it was yesterday that senior hamas official acknowledged that fifty of the sixty two palestinians that were killed were members or supporters of. And also Islamic Jihad also said three of their members were killed so that brings the number up to fifty three competent militants and nine civilians that were killed there ninety two much too many civilians who have been killed but many israelis believe that they pose a threat to the sovereignty of the state of israel to the security infrastructure the state of israel and thats why they were they were killed and i have spoken to the soldiers who took part in the operation on monday and they they told me themselves that they were given the authority and the permission to shoot in the lower extremities at people who crossed over the fence who approached the fence and they did actually shoot at palestinians. Israels defense minister has called hamas and im quoting here im cannibals who went back into their kennels after mondays deadly day along the gaza border you are there on the ground you see what is happening what went through your mind when you heard that comparison with cannibals. I mean this is a comment by. Well known for these types of comments its not his first and it will definitely not be the last when he first came into office he promised to kill him now within forty eight hours and that never happened he also before he was defense minister called for traitors to be beheaded this is not something which is new is something to be expected from. The defense minister of israel but what was interesting was that when they actually came from cairo where he was at israel will start their target assassinations of hamas leaders again and so that may have been why lightly reverence that they went back into their candles because they got the message via egypt from israel that something that can very well happen in israel is known for their targeted killings in gaza and we also saw in malaysia just a few weeks ago of the killing of hamas members well over there so im sure that when they got the mass and. The protests died down on tuesday and when i was there on monday when i was there and just day there were massive differences one point i remember seeing about a thousand palestinians at one point on monday and the next day there were less than fifty. I mean you know the stories you tell theyre valuable to getting this whole story alex yesterday you tweeted a photo of a home in southern israel we want to show our viewers that. So that israel that was hit by machine gun fire in gaza i mean its a powerful image we see the bullet fear in the wall of the home talk to me about the message that this photo sins to people who are living outside the region in you know listening in looking at the store. Well the bullet it was actually a number of bullets which hit a number of homes in the city of step out and step what for many of your viewers used to be the town it was much smaller actually about eight years ago which was hit incessantly by by rocket fire from from gaza and its now probably the safest place in israel for a rocket fire because every five meters is a bomb shelter except rockets machine gun fire we have not seen hit a home in a lot which is about a kilometer to have two kilometers depending on where you are in the city from the gaza strip now this is not the first time that heavy machine gun fire has been targeted towards israel a few months ago heavy machine gun fired towards a drone i believe just like what happened yesterday. Actually set off an iron dome batteries launching ten missiles towards rock towards machine gun fire what happened yesterday was something weve never seen before with. Getting hit and actually one of the homes belonged to the former mayor now out on our own home in tel aviv tonight military correspondent with the Jerusalem Post on it we certainly appreciate you taking the time in and sharing these valuable valuable accounts of what is happening in israel and gaza thank you thank you or you spokesman for the radical Islamist Group hamas says most of those sixty plus People Killed monday words on members most but not all due to be used on you cramer spoke to one family in gaza now mourning the loss of their young daughter. A picture on a phone is all that his last fourteen year old west was killed on monday during the protests here and the outbreak refugee camp a mother and sister struggle to cope with the loss. Of a man i. Had prevented her from going i had locked the door with a key and told her i didnt want her to go out that day she said ive been waiting so long for this day please let me go she kept crying. So i let her go. Sometime after eleven i got the news that she was to make or bless her soul. Wessel was with other protesters not far from the border fence when she was shot in the head her mother says she couldnt stop a youngest daughter from going to the protests. Was one of the fifty eight killed on monday by israeli sniper fire. The protests have calmed for now the fence has become a symbol of the tight restrictions on movement of people and goods that israel and egypt have imposed for a decade terek has spent most days near the frontier the seventeen year old doesnt hide the slingshot he uses to launch stones over the fence he says he has no fear. I want my rights if there would only be work for the young people but there is no work. If there were work i would have gotten married yesterday but there is no money no electricity no water nothing the blockade is suffocating us. At gaza citys biggest hospital rooms are crowded with injured patients from the protests nurses and docs is a working around the clock the already stretched Health Sector has reached its limits once again. The surgeon dr is busy treating a patient with a gunshot wound to his leg some of the injuries are so severe that limbs have to be amputated. That all of these patients will need long term treatment maybe a year or more they need different surgeries Plastic Surgery orthopedic surgery so a lot of things are waiting for them. Its unclear whether the protests will continue people in gaza wonder if theyll actually bring change at the very least they drew the worlds attention to gazas misery for a few days. Well im joined here at the big table tonight by Martin Jacques martin is our religious affairs and ethics analyst the events in the middle east this week of again triggered claims martin youve heard this that the media are taking sides turning victims into perpetrators and vice versa there are also new claims that political leaders are taking sides in the Israeli Palestinian conflict we know that this is not new. But this ethical disaster here continues to grow i mean the economist today in our region of a quote here gaza is a human rubbish heap that everyone would rather ignore and you know they call out israel egypt the Palestinian Authority no one wants to take responsibility right i mean this is a failure that has many many many parents most certainly and there is really up salute leno no success to be talked about we have however an issue which is sort of the most i wrecked one which is the question of just forests and a disappoint him in the red cross another are going to say show us that we contacted today were giving us something there are three thousand two hundred people injured many of the maimed twenty five over twenty five that have lost limbs and among them about dozen children so its very clear that a military force has actually taken the calculation that in order to the fence what defend the territory against what they are claiming is the worst possible situation which is one that is effectively not coming to fruition its not reasonable they decided that you know shooting on civilians and killing children is actually a worthwhile price to pay this is something that by and large we would think that its not acceptable but design acceptable and getting the facts about the story verifying them you know as you heard from ana they were the Jerusalem Post it is in credibly difficult to do that and that brings me to the point that were dealing with is how are the media covering this weve got two clips i want to show you tonight i believe speak to the ethical dilemma here the first clip is from a u. S. State Department Briefing reporters wanting clarity on the role of hamas in the killings on monday take a look. Well they have legitimate concerns about their security and people trying to send. Weapons and other things through through the various checkpoints so thats a concern was the situation in gaza is completely the fault of the masts its the primary responsibility its primarily the responsibility of hamas i can just tell you our position on that hasnt changed is it our position not required or not im going to leave it at this our position on that has not changed weve discussed this before ill sound like a broken record but what would be wrong with calling for restraint on the part of this i think this is a complex region yeah and that reporter does not get an answer what would be wrong with calling on restraint which it seems reasonable now bear that in mind and lets talk about the second clip its from a press conference at the un with a senior official of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and were going to pick it up were a reporter is asking her why the Palestinian Protesters at the gaza border fence did not simply sit down and protest instead of maybe trying to break through the fence the reporter is asserting that sitting instead of you know acting and doing something would not have allowed Israeli Soldiers to use their weapons take a listen. If they have thousands of people in gaza just sit down and john so thats like you say and no violence that all you think that these daily soul dick would have done what they did that i heard this before yes because people are trying to brand whatever palestinians do as being violence the palestinians protesting and guys are protesting nonviolently. So there everyone is talking past each other and he didnt say that he didnt say the palestinians were necessarily but he just ask you why cant you protest by sitting there doing nothing because then no one would shoot at yes i mean there are several questions here in of course the facts are extremely extremely difficult to extract what we do know what i mean to me the most interesting thing is that the thai has certainly changed that now the white house has to create a crisis of legitimacy and you have journalists asking questions that i think were probably never really asked before i mean there is no sense that the narration or the story that the israeli side is telling is actually one that is trustworthy at the very same time its very clear or at least its very clear that the media didnt actually sense that this has not been just a spontaneous sort of you know a spontaneous presentation this has actually been in engineering operation and the questions are consistent we can not really get straightforward answers from any of the sides i think that what does become base of all is that the moral the moral standing of the me has suffered enormous Public Relations damage enormous and i think we only really going to see the effects over in the next couple of months in the sense that it will be very hard for the Israeli Government to talk about the most more alarm in the world and to you know to send itself in this light not only in terms of what we have seen which is shooting off civilians but also in terms of statements like the ones we heard from lieberman about daniels and sort of these kind of comparisons and the claims of the media that were taking sides you dont see that ending either oh i think the media will certainly take sides i think that there are cultural and political proclivities that are absolutely innate to the foreign media landscape say mean its very clear that the us has a particular media culture as the us europe and most certainly arab. Countries have their media culture but that will not change that nonetheless they will say t
