Pressure mounts for inquiry into Israeli troops firing on Gazans waiting for aid • FRANCE 24

Yeah this coming from a team of un observers the first uh to visit Northern Gaza in a week and they visited the alifa hospital the hospital that was very close to uh the incident that took place on Thursday morning after the arrival of that Aid Convoy uh many of

The victims those who were injured those who died were taken to the hospital uh and the UN team said that the uh that that many of the injured victims they they they came across in the hospital had gunshot wounds now that may uh indeed contradict Israel’s version of events about what happened Israel

Insisting that the majority of people who died uh died in a stampede Israel has always maintained that they were either crushed trampled on or run over by Supply vehicles uh belonging to the Convoy Israel also claiming the Army in a separate instant that took place some several hundred meters away that its

Soldiers only opened fire on people who were deemed a threat to its own troops either way I think this will of course increase pressure on Israel to carry out a thorough investigation to establish ex exactly what happened in Northern Gaza on Thursday morning and you’re in Jerusalem uh the families of the

Hostages who are still being held in Gaza they’re due to arrive there later this Saturday following a 4-day March what message will they be delivering to the prime minister they want the Prime Minister and the government to do everything they can to secure the release of those host

Hostages of course this is a a large hostage Mar March that began on Wednesday at the site of the Nova Music Festival of course that name now Infamous synonymous with the Hamas massacres of October 7th it’s one of the sites where Hamas militants uh carried out their attacks and since Wednesday

They’ve been marching uh from Southern Israel towards Jerusalem uh with joined by members of the public uh joined by former hostages released from captivity and uh they’ll they’ll arrive in Jerusalem this evening their arrival at time to coincide with the holding of a large rally in support of uh hostages in

Tel Aviv of course those weekly rallies taking place since October 7th they’ve never really lost momentum but of course for the families uh it’s been almost five months now so marches like these of course designed to keep up pressure on the Israeli government because for the families they’re simply desperate to

Have news of their loved ones

World leaders have called for an investigation and a ceasefire nearly five months into the Gaza war after dozens of desperate Palestinians were killed rushing an aid convoy. A UN team that visited some of the wounded in Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital on Friday saw a “large number of gunshot wounds”, UN chief Antonio Guterres’s spokesman said. FRANCE 24’s Andrew Hilliar has the latest from Jerusalem.

  1. And the US want Israel to conduct the investigation into whether they committed warcrimes themselves. I am so ashamed of the hypocrisy and double standards on display from the West. World order is breaking down because of all the lies and gaslighting from the US and Israel. There will be a heavy price to pay.

  2. Still no proof of UNRWA involvement in oct 7 attack provided by Israel but whole west banned funding just only based on Israel claim & accusations but they did not wait for investigation. Now in the case of Israel whatever crime they do their ally do not want to believe even do not want investigation Against them. Thats tells you the hypocrisy & double standards of the westerners.

  3. In your life time u will see what happens to these Nazi Jews…Not surprising these Nazi Jews in Europe are gone back under their stones..

  4. UN observers? Israel declared they did not do it. Hmmm UN has very little credibility after the UNWRA. The Media just increases confusion and chaos.

  5. These ‘hamas’ fighters have lived their whole lives under Israeli occupation and siege.
    Watched their friends and family murdered, bombed and humiliated in all that time..
    What did you expect them to be when they grew up?

  6. This is the Al Ahli Hospital situation all over again. The media hastily jumps to accuse Israel of attacks based on Hamas propaganda, but as more facts surface, their initial claims prove to be inaccurate.

  7. It’s amazing how the interviewer instantly brushes aside the fact that Israel fired on civilians trying to get food, and moves directly to the hostages held in Gaza

  8. Wild accusations without evidence once again. This is how Palestinians have propagandized for decades now.

  9. Its so easy to know what really happened. Israel should let independent international investigator into Gaza, but we know the reason why they wont. They wont even allow anyone to investigate Oct 7 massacre. What are they trying to hide?

  10. Watch the YouTube film “The Stones Cry Out”, which reveals the thousands of Christians removed from their homes in Palestine at gunpoint during 1948. Why do many Christians not know about this?

  11. Grow a spine and call it what it is. "May contradict Israel's version".Investigation by isreal on thier own crime? What braindead comment is that? The most infuriating thing is the hypocrisy and double standards. Imagine if it was Russia, would they be reporting in this manner?

  12. White Arab Muslim Palestinians civilians Military lives matter Black African Children Lives Do Not Matter to White Racist Europea In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 2:28

  13. This has never happened before? "The Intercept showed how the Israeli operators of a Hermes 450 were responsible for killing four Palestinian children, cousins aged 10-11, playing on a beach during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge. They killed one child with the first missile fired, and then fired a second missile which killed the remaining three."

  14. 🏆 1,400 VS 26,000+++ !!! 👏👏👏
