the, the, this is dw news lie from berlin, 6 months into the war in gaza, of prime minister benjamin netanyahu says, israel is on the verge of victory, and is rarely delegation heads to peace talks in egypt. but netanyahu with keeps his about that there can be no troops until from us fries. the remaining hostages. also coming up were wanda marks, 30 years since it's genocide. more than 800000 people were killed in one of the most horrific episodes of the 20th century. we looked at the causes and the responsibility of the international community, the

i, melissa chan, welcome 6 months to the day since the october, 7th and last terror attacks, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says its forces are one step away from victory. the army says it has pulled all its troops out of southern gaza, including the city of con eunice. but the military says a significant force will continue to operate within the homos run gaza strip. and other developments, the government says and is rarely delegation, will take part in the latest round of peace talks in cairo. netanyahu has again said there can be no truce without the release of the remaining hostages being held by her loss. addressing his cabinet, netanyahu summed up what he sees as israel's accomplishments in the war, a home say my own. there were marking 6 months of war today. the achievements of the war are great. we've eliminated 19 out of 24. how much battalions,

including senior commanders, and we've killed, wounded or captured a significant number of how much terrorists we've cared, chief up, as well as many other terrorist headquarters. we've destroyed rocket manufacturing plants, war rooms, weapons, and ammunition caches. and we continue to systematically destroyed the underground tunnels, where a step away from victory, man, it's a whole dw correspondent. i'm yeah is this is in jerusalem. i asked him whether israel can really be on the verge of victory, as netanyahu says, as well as netanyahu means total victory, which he often has said, which by that he means the total elimination of a mouse in the gaza strip. and that's unlikely, um, former prime minister able to all merge as well as the idea of itself. it's intelligence unit has said that it's impossible to eliminate all him off fighters down to the last man in the gaza strip. and don't forget that

a lot of from also senior leaders are living outside of the gaza strip. they're alive and well. and i'm also has never been more popular among palestinians more popular than it was before this latest war started. so that goal is unlikely to be achieved any time soon, but if he means that uh they are basically incapacitated him off so that it can not carry out. and a terrorist attack like it did on october 7th, last year. the not is most likely true, but it has been true for several months now. so a lot of is really the, israel's critics, including more recently some of its closest allies like us and germany are questioning. if the high civilian death toll has been worth it since that goal of incapacitating a moss had already been achieved just weeks or months into the war. so how can we understand this troop withdrawal from southern gaza then as well,

is realized, been clear that this does not mean the end of the war. the white house has said that this is most likely arrest and refit. in other words, the troops, they're exhausted, they've been fighting for months, and they're able to just go back to israel to slow down operations, perhaps in preparation for something else coming up. and that's, and y'all has been cleared that a ground a sold on rafa, which is in southern gaza. and that's where a lot of the civilians living in the, in the gaza strip are located that she is going to go ahead with plans to carry out a ground assault thing that this last bastion of a most fighters in the gaza strip. so it does suggest that these troops are just basically going on uh, rest leave so they can get up for something else. um, right, so it, it doesn't mean the end of the war or a total draw their own just a temporary rest for its troops. netanyahu also talked about the conditions for a c spar. let's have a listen to that. if i'm, if you look it up in my,

made it clear to the international community, there will be no seas far without the return of hostages. it just won't happen. and this is the policy of these randy government and i welcome the fact that the bite and administration made it clear to you today that this is still it's position as well. go in. but i mean, what more do we know about those east bar tax between israel and moss and cairo as well as these fire talks, we'll go ahead and is realize already approved the delegation to attend those talks, which cannot be taken for granted. and previous rounds of talks is real, didn't even send anybody to represent them, but it's going to go ahead. the prime minister of katara is going to be there as well as the director of the u. s. c. i a but, but some officials in his real have said that this is going to give false hopes. that's because nothing yahoo is also said that if the demands of a mouse remain the same, which is a complete troop withdrawal from gaza before they release hostages. and that's not

going to happen. so some officials worried that it's going to give the families of hostages false hopes that this deal could, that could come out of the latest round of talks. thank you. dw correspondent, i mean is this in jerusalem. lawanda is marketing the 30 year anniversary of the genocide that claimed more than $800000.00 lives. political leaders gathered to remember the moment that started a 100 days of ethnic violence that resonates to this day. in a moment we'll hear from an academic specialist, but 1st we look back at what unfolded. 3 decades ago. april 1994 and a plane carrying lawanda is presidents. just bermonte and counts of politics shut down of okay, calling. juvenile, happy you, ramona, and superior and a how to mirror a kilt along with everyone on board the basement of ethnic hutus. the next day, the genocide begins over 100 days, gangs of many who 2 extremes,

slow to hundreds of thousands, mostly ethic touch sees, orchestrated by the rewan denobia militia, neighbors turning on neighbors. the clubs submission these thousands heads of churches, many up to being offered assurances that they would be safe. but nowhere is safe. the judge is the lights are recognized as the science of numerous mass killings. the extreme threat to life pushes masses of people through wanda's borders. sexual violence is also used as a weapon with as many as 250000 women raped during the genocide behind the buns. the violence, is it possible for power between one, this ruling, hutus and the tootsie dominated will one the patch. you will take from triple great . the mass mode to eventually coming to an end. we now p f flight is reached the

cap to pick ali july 1994 may have led by poll coming. the wind is coming presidents in today's the fall i p f takes control of the country arresting that was accused of being involved in the genocide. over the years since, tens of thousands of, of london's have been convicted. but 100 small suspects are still at large. ringback so clark is professor of international politics at the school of oriental and african studies in london. he says the world looked away while the genocide was taking place. but i think it shows just how little rewan did massa to the international community at the time. it was this tiny, landlocked country in the center of africa with no natural resources out the world simply didn't care. but of course, it had been

a very important international component to how the genocide was possible. decades of german in belgium, colonialism had fostered these ethnic divisions in the country. internationally imposed structural adjustment policies accredited, economic crisis. that was a big part of the conflict in the early ninety's ninety's and still this anti tootsie propaganda. and all of that was absolutely crucial to the way that the genocide thing began after the 6th of april 1994. now we're one of them president paul could on they said today during a remembered ceremony that the international community quote failed all of us. i touched on that in that 1st question about how responsible is the international community for what happened? which fundamentally, the genocide is a good one to an event, to the majority of domestic, as were carried out by every guy who to perpetrators who knew that victims

incredibly well. so this is fundamentally a ro, london story. but there are these international style is not least the fact that there was the united nations peacekeeping mission in, on the ground in row one to at the time. but the genocide was beginning. and within the 1st 2 weeks of the genocide, that peacekeeping mission packed up and left the u. n. was simply not willing to risk its own pace keepers in order to protect up to the civilians and so in for one to to die. that's a source of much resentment that the, that the you and really did file to stop the genocide and to protect the tootsie from those mastic is what do you make of the comments by french president emmanuel, my calling about the genocide you had said, you know, he had made comments about francis roll, for example, of what france could have done a microns apology. it is a very peculiar one because in many ways he apologizes for the least defrances violated. as he apologizes for france and the international community not doing

more to intervene to stop the genocide, but what he's not apologizing for is the fact that bronze was directly complicit in the carrying out of the violets for at least i 2 months before the genocide, the french army which was stationed to give her wanda, had been training. and i'm going to enter a hom way, who to militias, which were responsible for some of the biggest mastic is during the genocide. it's very peculiar that my crohn makes this big deal about an apology. on the peace keeping side, but it says nothing at all out about frances direct involvement in the violence. and that's what most of the wondering think of when i think of a francis involvement at that time. and then you've, you've talked about uh, the domestic angle, 30 years on what kind of country is lawanda today. and what role does the history of that genocide play there? the history of the genocides still very fresh and a wonder i've been working there for more than 20 years now. and the genocide is very real to people. the memories up very fresh. but the country has recovered in

ways, but i don't think anybody would expect it in 1994. it's a peaceful country. it's a stable country. remarkably hundreds of thousands of genocide perpetrators. back leaping off on the hills side by side with genocide survivors getting on with a large, cooperating together on the farms. if you would set that to any body in 1994, they would have scoffed it to you. and i guess that's is the kind of advance that we're one that has made over the last 30 years. and i understand, of course, also that the women, female politicians play a very prominent, inordinate role unusual role in the legislature. so a lot of developments in that country that would surprise many people, professor phil clark and london, thank you so much for joining us to governments across latin america are condemning a raid by ecuador on the mexican embassy and tito mexico. several diplomatic ties with ecuador over the detention of the former ecuadorian vice president court. hey,

glass. he was facing corruption charges, but had been given political asylum inside the embassy before it was right of mixed, the coast embassy has caused outrage. a growing list of countries had issued, gazing, reviewed in mexico, took the fury to the spring with a mixture of helplessness, anger, frustration, and above whole. seeing that the spot there, if it's to keep people inside safe, i don't want to. i did not succeed. eakwood or false is broke into the mix. the can, the embassy on friday night or wasting a quarter was form of vice president jorge glass who had been granted assign them the last spaces, corruption charges and has been taken to a maximum security prison. a c embassy has been closed after the ride,

which makes the car sees, violates international norm. 40. so to me, the president again, that is my as per instructions of president, under this money away, lopez open the door. we are coordinating the return of one of our diplomatic stuff and x we do, along with that families off to the violent time carried down. but ecuadorian police in the embassy enlisted in by sullivan make equal equal door is defending the risk, which it says was due to the risk of immune an escape by the lake. what more for it would do? no criminal can be considered a political refugee because the you in is cooling for come over the escalating spat, aging both it would all end mexico to show motor ration and solve the differences through peaceful manes. and that's it for now. up next reporter meets the last radiologist remaining in the ukranian city up here. son. i'm melissa chad. thanks

for watching dw, the conflicts crises, every single connection mapped out shows the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube mountain west. i mean, i know i might just do it and i'm hoping dw newport.
