12:04 am
person. well, you know, the russian opposition is always trying to come up with various methods of supposing the regime through different means for example. and one of the previous selections, nevada, a. so organization promotes something called smartvault chain where people would uh, both or candidates selected by nevada named his team in order to prove that would be supported. united russia was not popular and that did not really succeed all that much on this particular protest, both to entail people coming out on sunday to register their support for nevada name, more for freedom and russia and against me. and it's great, it's greatest impact was perhaps to what people see each other. so those people who came out into this into the russian point stations are sort of mainly in europe actually. so that they're not alone. and that's important as it is a kind of a moral support exercise more than anything else that might have practical
12:05 am

12:06 am
over those hosp the way she can pay the games to how most of the fighters and then we drove from this place. so now it seems that even though is really losing control, so it says overall, the safety of the northern part of the guns of st. how miles has managed to come back to this a complex and then be able to even see 2 30 in the morning. he's really forces in the dream, big the house, but the complex i there, there was the exchange of fire, and the is really, is up talking about more than a click the mazda in a fight or killed one is really soldier killed. and i, i can tell you that also a journalist from a jo, 0 who was covering these events was arrested and taken by these really forces together with many others who were in this a complex and then didn't take it to the question a by these were in the military,
12:07 am
a semi circle. well, us present, joy biden has asked israel to send a delegation to washington to discuss. he is rouse plans for a ground defensive on rafa in southern guns, a blind in his war when the prime minister benjamin netanyahu died. an assault on or off on would be a mistake. roughly 1500000 people are sheltering. that is us national security advisor jack sullivan. our position is that how i should not be allowed a safe haven in rockville or anywhere else, but a major ground operation, there would be a mistake. it would lead to more innocent civilian deaths, worse in the already dire humanitarian crisis. deep in the, in our key in gaza and further isolate israel internationally. more importantly, the key goals israel wants to achieve in rasa, can be done by other meats. on the call today, president biden asked the prime minister to send the senior interagency team composed of military intelligence and humanitarian officials to washington in the
12:08 am
coming days to hear us concerns about israel's current wrap up planning and the layout and alternative approach that would target tea from us elements in rafa and secure the egypt guides of border without a major ground. and i'd like to welcome gerald fire stein. he's a former us ambassador and once that is deputy console general in jerusalem, he is senior vice president of the middle east institute. and bassett of welcome to d. w. joe biden has asked benjamin netanyahu to send officials to washington noise that his plans for a ground defensive and rough uh, at the same time that netanyahu really appears to be dumpling, down on these plans. how much pressure do you expect the us to put on nathan, yahoo here a hi, it's a pleasure to be with you this evening. and i, i think that the clearly, the administration is extremely concerned about the potential you might have to her
12:09 am
and catastrophe. if the as rallies follow through on those rights to go in to rafa they've been sick knowing consistently for weeks now that they don't believe that the as roy's have put in place the means to protect the civilian population there. uh and to uh, to target hum us operative so that are still in the rough area until they do that until there is some clear understanding between washington and jerusalem about how to go forward. i think that we're going to see the administration continuing to emphasize the risks. and there is an increasing view of, particularly among the democratic members of congress that to you review i semester ations needs to be more explicit and telling israel to stand back. let's
12:10 am
talk about that as the us is pushing for what's being described as an alternative approach. and you're saying it will probably be more explicit. what do you think this alternative approach could main as well? i think that as, as we heard from from j sullivan, the alternative approach would be not a major ground, defensive and to rasa. but something more targeted, more, more precise and try to identify where home us leadership may be hiding. i add to add to use other kinds of military means to achieve those targets without the threatening the security uh, the civilian population invested there as someone with many years of diplomatic experience, particularly in the middle east. i'd like to ask you, what do you make of where things stand right now in this conflict?
12:11 am
well, i think that increasingly there is a great deal of frustration over the failure of diplomacy to achieve even eliminated ceasefire. we have seen that there is going to be another, is really delegation going to continue the negotiations. but the, but the administration i think is very frustrated that they haven't been able to impress on either the as rallies or home us or the need to take steps. now that would address the amount of terry crisis and bring this fighting to a hall. and i think that again as the, uh, the days of the weeks go by, the pressure on the, by the administration to do something more. uh, to bring this conflict to an end is only going to increase that was for my us on boss of the gerald. finest on best buy. thank you very much for your time and your insights today. it's a pleasure. this is
