they will brief the council on the latest happenings in east jerusalem and israel. we expect to hear from the israels as well. it is the palestinians who have been calling for this emergency meeting. but they want more than a meeting. expect to hear the ambassador call for some sort of international presence to try to calm the situation there. this is something the palestinians have been asking for before this recent outbreak of violence. abbas brought it up during the general assembly here. this would be an international force -- not a peace-keeping force. they are not talking about soldiers or armed people. they are talking about monitors to put distance between the two sides to give an objective viewpoint of what is happening there, but we just heard from the new israel ambassador that israel is very opposed to that idea, even though it currently exists in israel in a smaller form. he said that the status quo has worked and that israel will not accept any form of monitors on the temple mount. so this is something that we do expect to be raised in the council, tho

the illegal settlement in the occupied palestinian territory, including east jerusalem, occupied east jerusalem and its surroundings, constitutes a fertile ground for these -- automatic faced by our people -- there could be no hope for serious political process without ending the settlement immediately and completely. it is high time to put an end to israeli and divorced to meet its commitments accordance with international law. it should not be allowed to have impunity for committing these crimes against our people in the occupied palestinian state, including east jerusalem. the israeli official should be responsible for the these crimes as well as the terrorist settlers who have committed ugly terrorist acts like burning the family in the middle of the night in their home. this led to killing an infant of 18 months and his parents, and burning his brother a four years old who is still in the hospital facing death. i alone, the israeli war minister says he knows that terrorists who committed this act, but until now they have not been arrested in order to be punished, they deserve for

east jerusalem. from the early morning, security forces moved in to try and stop residents there from coming across into west jerusalem. that measure was applied particularly around those palestinian neighborhoods where alleged attackers were coming from. and as night fell this evening, again, many mobile police checkpoints at access points between west jerusalem and east jerusalem and their police at least trying to check vehicles coming across from the east searching the vehicles and patting down the occupants of those vehicles. what have these measures actually done though to stop the violence from occurring? wednesday once again a day of clashes and of stabbings. let's take a look at this report. chaos on the streets of bethlehem in the occupied west bank. palestinian demonstrators clashed with the israeli army wednesday after the funeral of a 27-year-old shot and killed by israeli forces while protesting here a day earlier. in contrast, wer west jerusalems unusually quiet. security crack down fo

jerusalem. this has been a key flash point, saying they are changing a lodge standing arrangement for palestinians to enter the site. but basically calls for some sort of international presence around the area to maintain the status quo, though we were hearing from the israelis a little bit earlier at the united nations saying that there wasn't any need for that. so we'll stay across developments there at the u.n. and keep you up to speed on that. but speaking earlier any u.s. ambassador to the united nations, samantha power criticized the use of violence from both sides. >> we have repeatedly condemned this violence and made clear there is no justification for any terrorist attack. we continue to stress the importance of preventing inflammatory rhetoric, or any actions that can feed the violence. the human consequences have been grave and continue to mount. since october 1st, israelis have faced 38 attacks in which at least 7 israelis have been killed and more than 40 injured, some gravely. 18

particularly in east jerusalem. the may difference when it comes to proest thes there is no political will behind the palestinians protestors right now. we see only palestinian miners participating. but the political will is absent. >> you mentioned the miners you have worked with children. we saw the 13-year-old boy that was shot after trying to stab an israeli boy, what do you think p propertied children this young of doing and getting involvedded in this? what prompts them to do this. >> well, to be honest with you, most of the children are poor victims during these incidents during the situation in jerusalem. for example, the child who was injured yesterday, we don't know whether he was stabbed on attacks or not. we documented some cases in which children stabs children, especially on saturday. the fact that the israeli forced, really aggressively, and opened fire against them, without providing him with medical treatment afterwards. so basically it is dangerous for children, and for palestinian in east jerusale

one of the most heavily blockaded parts of occupied east jerusalem. and the fact that a 16-year-old from there gained easy access to the settlement raises immediate questions about the effectiveness of israel's closure policy. questions, too, about the killing in hebron in the occupied west bank. this video taken shortly afterwards shows the jewish settler in white clothes still waving his gun. no attempt is made by the solids to disarm him and several residents allege a knife was placed on the body of the palestinian the settler has just shot. the deep divide betweenisi and palestinian is reflected in an urgent meeting of the u.n. security counsel where the representatives of each side exchanged blame for the crisis. the israeli prime minister is due to meet u.s. secretary of state, john kerry, in germany on wednesday and will prenticis's view of events. but in palestinian eyes, the root cause of the conflict lies in israel's control of the old city and, in particular, the control of exercise of access to the mosque compound. the international court
