rock linked where the sarah kelly. welcome to the program, us secretary of state antony blinking will be touching down in the middle east in the coming hours. seeking to secure a new truce between israel and tomas. it will be his 5th trip to the region since the from aust. her attack on october 7th, and he will be making stops from saudi arabia, egypt, guitar, and israel. the proposed to cease fire deal would allow the phase to release of his rarely hostages. in exchange for palestinian prisoners. dw correspondent rebecca writers has introduced alarm with more of what we can expect from antony blanking on his latest diplomatic push in the middle east as well. suddenly, as you mentioned there, and that late in sarah, this push for this temporary c side deal, this hostage exchange that is certainly going to be topping ads. and they've been
2:02 pm
comes agenda during his visit here off the saudi arabia. he's coming to israel. he's also visiting kata and egypt to major players in the negotiations to major negotiate as they really worked very hard to secure the negotiation. the deal that was pro could in november. and so the release of more than a 100 hostages. and they're working hard to try and see this one come to fruition as well. and that is going to be the main agend or of course he always brings with him this message is more humanitarian i needing to be going into the gods or metal . so it may be another priority on lincoln's list. he mentioned it again before he boarded the plane to arrive to depart. america to come here. he mentioned again how important it was to try to address the humanitarian crisis there. and another agenda that he always brings with him is one of calm trying to stop this war, spilling over into a more regional conflict. and another agenda that's always a generalized him is always on his list, of course is what will happen in a post
2:03 pm
a complet garza. but suddenly the main priority of this tour of the middle east will be trying to encourage that sci fi do. and what more do we know about this, these fire proposal that that's currently on the table? well the, the one that, that, that's currently on the table as well. the one that's currently being discussed currently being reviewed by a mouse and all the involved parties is one. the framework was set out a little over a week ago in paris, and that is what is being negotiated. it'll look a little bit similar to the one we saw in november. it will have a longer face far is the i'm a 6 plus weeks we're hearing to include then a stage release of the hostages in exchange for and i'm yet on the time and number of palestinian prisoners. now women on the info, elderly, they will have top priority when it comes to the releases. but then there is hope that more and more of the hostages will come out in, in several stages. that of course,
2:04 pm
depends on whether the cease fire is held or whether the fighting resumes as we saw happening last time. but this deal happened. so the devil of course is in the detail those there and that is what is being knock that down at the moment. that is what is still being negotiated him as haven't come out to say that they agree to what's on the table and they are demanding from a permanent say fire and a complete withdrawal of israeli troops. now that's something that israel have come out strongly against whether or not they can meet somewhere in the middle, of course remains to be seen. and it's never over until it's all. can you talk with us about, you know, the mood where you are and the appetite in israel for such a deal? because we've, we've all seen be these images and in the past days and weeks of the families of the hostages and you just, you feel the frustration boiling over and the anger as yeah, there's a lot of frustration, particularly as you say,
2:05 pm
from the families and from the support is we've seen protests for weeks and weeks now cooling for the release of the hostages, quoting for us, they saw some of the people that i speak to when i go to those protest until to the families. did i say that almost do anything to ensure the release of their loved ones and that's, of course, incredibly understandable. but there's definitely an appetite for this temporary se saw it must be said that actually in israel support for the war is incredibly high across the board. we are seeing a lot of support for the ames of the as randy miller train and fees, randy government to eliminate come off as a threat to israel. so people, you know, very support in support of continuing the war once the hostages have been released, but definitely the appetite for at least a temporary safe side. and that hostage exchange incredibly high here correspondent rebecca rivers in jerusalem. thank you and the admins who the rebels are
2:06 pm
vowing to continue their attacks on red sea shipping after the us and britain launched another round of air strikes. the u. s. and the u. k. say that they have hit thousands of targets inside them and including underground weapons to post missile systems and the long terms around, back to fees have attacked multiple vessels in the red sea since the beginning of the israel from us war in october. so our, the us let air strikes approving to be enough to make the red sea safe. again, i put that question to elizabeth kendall. middle east expert at the university of cambridge is certain college, you know, yet there's very little evidence yet that these strikes. it's a tire and i use these, but it's close. that does depend on how much they succeed in knocking out. i'm wasting this escalation, this increasing number of strikes hitting targets. perhaps we'll start to have some facts, but we must remember that we had, they,
2:07 pm
they know the strikes are coming to the very adaptable that it will actually halt in their results. and this is what we're hearing because they all seeing bruce supports in yemen. but the own stand against, for us, and in favor of the palestinians as they patriots. and you have to remember that the united states is not that popular. any of them, not just amongst the, here's the outline us, but the last time we had a, a survey, an hour. well, the survey that distinguished country by country that was back in 2016, the united states was unpopular amongst 82 percent of the population. so called inside to able to prepare, broadly supported. no, it liked to tell them not in a short time. and we have to mentioned that this is the 3rd round of us lead strikes against iranian back. malicious. and as many days, does this still look like, you know, more broadly speaking? does the silver like a mirror tit for tat, or are we really witnessing, you know, a proxy were unfolding here between washington and t. ron?
2:08 pm
that's an excellent question. i think we are seeing a real escalation now. it's not whether or not this will escalate. this is escalating. it feels like more of a tit for tat mold on a tit for tat when the strikes all happening on an almost daily basis when i sustained when i had seen thousands of targets. but that stead, or i think that there are 2 signs that neither side wants this to turn into a long time proxy will or, or an allowable. one sign is that the united states is screw telegraphing it strikes in a drum. so it gives the enemy time to prepare the iran and its partners are playing down the effects of a strikes which enables them to know not to have to take major reprisals. but one thing we need to bear in mind though, is that even if neither side wants to an escalation, it is a matter of making sure that the calculations are well calibrated. it only needs
2:09 pm
one miscalculation and we could see it spiral out of control. this is how complex escalate if iran is pulling the strings behind the scenes and you know there's been much speculation about whether or not that is indeed the case. perhaps you would like to weigh on in on that as well. what exactly is in it for t ron? on the immediate basis, would you say i think that there is a real question as a how much iran actually controls its proxies and partners. and it's so cold access of resistance. i mean it's, it's not, it's probably 2 different. it's done. i imagine that it's control over groups like hezbollah and 11 on some of the she militias in syria and iraq is probably greater than it is over there. who's these in yemen? who all very much going into that escalation as something that is extremely
2:10 pm
beneficial to them domestically. but we must ask if iran has and trained, supported and encouraged these partners on it and it's accepted resistance kind of actually fully control them. what they stand down, even if i ask them to. so in the meantime, wrong gains to answer your 2nd questionnaire on gains from this kind of low level fits for tax conflict because it increases its popularity as framed as the defender palestine. and it also goes the united states into showing its to costs and looking like a belligerent in the region. and frankly, this is an asymmetric bull. so the united states tends to lose just by not winning . where is it wrong? and its partners can win simply by being constant and pacific didn't form in the side of the united states. and israel elizabeth kendall middle east expert at gordon college,
2:11 pm
