analyzing a bad book saying that a big role in this change of position from the german government is the way that saudi arabia behaved and conducted itself regarding israel and the last a few months since the conflict between israel and thomas book said that sonya reagan has had a constructive approach to israel in the last few months and that seems to have convinced the german government of the reliability of the saudi arabian government . also, we've heard from the economy minister of a topic saying that, so you are really a, has a particular role in the region that it can bring stability to the region. and these are all arguments that a point to the fact that germany sees saudi arabia as reliable and with the country improving. the sale of iris team missiles are other deliveries now likely to follow to saudi arabia as well at the moment to be officially confirmed. delivery is of

iris to use. these are missiles that can be surface to air or air to air. we know that sonya reba uses them from aircraft from the euro fighter jets, and the saudi government has said that they have been use, for example, to shoot drones coming from a for the health or reports of yemen. and we know also regarding the euro fighters, these are jets that are produced by a court of european countries, including germany, the u. k, spain and italy. and germany had been blocking and has been blocking the delivery of also these euro fighters to saudi arabia. but we've heard from german chancellor on of shows, but also for minister under the babylon that they personally wouldn't be in favor of also resuming deliveries of euro fighters to saudi arabia. this hasn't been confirmed yet, but it seems that it might be on the cards. now and that was to lead us out of the reporting from berlin. the world health organization says that not enough aid is

reaching civilians in the gaza strip. intensified fighting in northern and central garza has also halted several deliveries of medical supplies and fuel to hospitals . israel says that its troops are trying to root out most militants who carried out deadly terror attacks and israel. 3 months ago. grabbing all the can from a truck, west of kansas city bags of flour, boxes of canned food throughout the territory, gods in space, mass, hunger, and disease. the un says one and 4 are starving of the majority of guys, this population has been displaced at least once, since the start of the war most depend on cross border aid for survival. those displaced say they are living in absolute desperation for them and we have lost hope. we'd be listening to the news for $98.00 days hoping

that the war will end. but there is no hope. all we see is a difficult situation. we're in. we have no water electricity, but since water was scarce, we can only shar once a month. it's taking a total in our mental health. and there are diseases spreading everywhere. pressure to allow more 8 and to gaza is mounting on israel. the opening of a crossing at the israel egypt border has not significantly increase the rate of deliveries. a trucks are often delayed waiting for security checks. but israel's military says it is now increased its capacity for screening. we are ready and willing to facilitate as much humanitarian aid as the world will give, especially essentially like food medicine and shelter. we do security checks on humanitarian aid trucks for weapons. before the enter goes,

we have increased our screening capacity considerably. that even when a gets through distribution is another problem in the absence of security guarantees and intensified offensive around hospitals in northern gaza. vital medical supplies can get to people who need it most. it means that hospitals don't have to. it means that the patients don't have food. it means that the emphasize the care for the patients. you an agency say humanitarian corey doors for aid are needed now to save lives. meanwhile, on a visit to the occupied westbank, the u. s. as tough to fill in that has reaffirmed washington support for a palestinian state secretary of state anthony of lincoln so that he had productive talks with palestinian president mock with a boss about reforming his government. us once a reformed palestinian authority to govern garza after israel's war with moss abbas

said that gaza was an integral part of palestinian territory and called for an international peace conference. and the german foreign minister laid a bare bach is in lebanon, where she has been holding talks with caretaker prime minister ninety's mccarty. they discussed the tensions between israel and the she, i lebanese hezbollah militia. their boss also met with un observers while visiting german soldiers stationed on a forget in the favored harbor. steinberg from the german institute for international and security affairs has more about blinking and bare box visit to the region as well as i think that the visits by secretary blinking of more important than the visits of the german 4 in minnesota. and mainly because we do know that there are in direct talks going on between the

united states that has been allowed to lever these government under the impression that the german foreign minister is assistants assisting these thoughts. pacebutler is for the american government, tries to convince his ball out there this, it wouldn't be a good idea to intervene in this war and perhaps even to withdraw some of it's of course, it's not really tiny river in order to avoid a conflict in the coming months and years put it into context for us. how effective kennedy's talks with the lebanese government be. i mean, where did the hezbollah officials stand on all of this? when it's a, it's impossible for western governments to talk to his but a lot because it is listed as a terrorist organization. but they're all ways and means to talk to his body. he's by law school intermediaries. and of course, the lebanese government of which is paula is a, is a vice of part, is he's

a good media. and the problem is that his bottom line is not only lebanese organization, but it's in the wrong in science. we do not know exactly who calls the shots in this relationship right now, but i got the impression that his father law and the wrong both agreed that they do not want a logic conflict. but if sufficiently provo by this race, there is of course, the danger scholars and that was either steinberg from the german institute for international and security affairs. speaking with me earlier. some other stories making news, us and british naval forces say that they have shot down a barrage of missiles and drones fired by who few rebels in the red sea. britain calls that the largest attack by the human based militants. since they began targeting commercial ships in november, the who is the say that they are blocking is really ships or those headed to the
