melissa channel, thanks for joining us. israel has damp and hopes for peace and gaza, saying the country would still pursue the war until it had reached all its aims. it comes hours after us president joe biden presented a proposal for a permanent cease fire and gaza. biden's as the plan was put forward by israel, it would unfold and 3 phases and to share the return of his really hostages, and to the reconstruction of gaza. moss has released a statement saying it news the proposal quote, positively binding has urged both sides to accept the deal. this is truly a decisive moment. is made their proposal. law says it wants to cease fire. this deal is an opportunity to improve whether they really need the

mouse needs to take the deal. i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for an award to continue indefinitely. saw summer, even in the government coalition. i asked you to take a step back and think what will happen if this moment is lost? you can't lose this moment. it's time to begin this new stage. the hearts easy to come home. for israel to be secure, the suffering to stop is time for this war 2. and let's take a look at the proposal in more detail. president binds said that in a 1st phase, lasting 6 weeks. israel and tomas would enter a full and complete cease. fire is really forces would withdraw from populated areas of gaza. mosse would release a number of hostages, including the elderly women and the wounded. in exchange, israel would release hundreds of palestinian detainees,

humanitarian aid for gods that would search at this point with at least $600.00 trucks being allowed in to gaza each day in the proposal. second phase of moss would release all remaining living hostages. including mail is really soldiers, all hostilities would end and is really forces would fully withdraw from gaza. once the steps have been accomplished, how moss would hand over the remains of all dead hostages. it's still holding rubble and gaza cities with then be cleared and reconstruction of the territory backed by the us. europe and international institutions would begin to for more on this, i'm joined by d. w. 's middle east analyst a shiny. rosanna shiny, joe biden presented these proposals, what they're supposed to be from israel. so why is it coming from washington and not israel because he's frustrated to button his price, right? because there's been a lot of these back and forth. and this deal has been floating for awhile, but nothing is really moving. he feels i gave his real the backend even to go into

off the high paid prices for that politically. and now i want to see what's happening next, but he doesn't feel like the is really are pushing strong enough for the next thing, garza and he wants to encourage a dialogue. a public debate was in these really, society wants to support the moderate and centrist. you know, in the hostages family to try and bring forth a more open dialogue on what is on the table and what is real, might be given up. if it's not, you know, willing to go more seriously into finalizing this very deal. and how, how have israel and tomas reacted so it's crucial when you to remember there's a 3rd party, a very crucial party here, the hum us. and they said officially after biden's speech to the positively open to that and for any discussion, it seems like the way it come us, you know what, let's put on a table that the deal that we bought and put it out. seems to be giving him also level of what they wanted and mostly the demand that they have has all along is to, for israel to agree on, on, completely sees, you know, of all how cities are basically announcing this is the end of,

of fighting. and this is exactly because to the is really response because this is exactly what is really, is opposing, you know, and it to me, i was said in a, in a statement after the biden administration issue, we have been willing to show some flexibility this plan in many ways is something that we are standing behind. however, we're not going to stop the war until we achieved our goals. these goals, too, of course, nearly to come us and bringing back the hostages. so the americans proposal is based. a lot of things have to stop the sides and the, the mediators, katrina egypt has been, you know, a lot of draft has been going back and forth for the that embellish middle a dash of may be wishful thinking that bite and has brought into this process and this is exactly where we stand, the core issue is still not resolved. the americans hope that once things get going, the momentum for itself will maybe help these problems to get resolved. there's been a lot of hope and false hope shawnee, i keep asking you this question, but are we stuck again? are we any closer to the end of this round of the conflict it's, it's hard to say,

i think by it, in hopes this will start some sort of a very vigorous process within these really society, political one, at least that will maybe put more pressure on it to now come on, it's on the other side, they recognize as the weakness, supplements, and now when in the international arena and the political arena, i'm not sure they're so eager to show a lot of flexibility. we will have to see the next phase. if this really, if the american push for it is and carter seems to be very much engaged egypt and if we made the manage just to bring some, some change to the static, completely tragic situation. it's to, it's still too soon to tell. i'm afraid shiny was on us. thanks for joining us in the studio. look. a conflict negotiator oliver mccarren and gave us his assessment on whether it was a good idea for bite and to announce so many details of the plan. i think it's good to have uh, an overall plan if you had just announced, okay,

a 60 day ceasefire in which that hostages it will be exchanged and then we single to happen. i think it would be less appealing and we probably wouldn't have caught the positive response we did for me nice. but at the end of the day, i think he needs to go further. and it's no good announcing it unless he is prepared to really stand by his words. it's time to see the war in gaza and that i'm only america, i think kind of actually achieve that goal because it's only day that kind of see really influence on the is really a cabinet present on how to use a supply the means by which america is road can prosecute the war. if they are serious about them doing it, then i must tell them. this is the time you have to make a deal to. indonesia has offered to send peace keeping troops to enforce

a ceasefire in gaza. is israel and tomas accept the new proposal? indonesia as president elect pro us would be unto says ac spark proposal outlined by you as president joe biden is a step in the right direction. he made the comments that age has major defense summit. the shangri lot dialogue taking place in a single port. the conflict in gaza and the war in ukraine are on the agenda along with security. tensions in the, in the pacific. for more on that indonesia offer. i spoke with need of use asia pacific bureau chief, dare with mattress for both of us would be under old man. and this of course is the defense minister and president elect. and he has a great deal, like all of it in indonesia, about the palestinian cause. i followed him throughout this his election campaign and, and even there, the palestinian israeli conflict was a huge topic. so i think we should take that very serious. however,

one needs to say that he made clear that the information of what only provides substantial peacekeeping forces if needed. and if requested by the united nations. and of course it will take uh, a perspective ceasefire uh for this offer to become a reality. so it will be likely some time longer. now i understand us secretary defense lloyd austin has also been at the conference and meeting with china plus other countries more aligned and allied with united states. any significant results from that engagement. i think even part part of the speech of austin really was that despite the conflict in the middle east, despite the importance of the conflict of ukraine for world security, he said uh the we uh, the u. s. is primarily uh priority uh, photos off in the end of the in the pacific at remains the priority theater of

operations. where is works. so uh, in particularly for instance of the south china sea and i had the chance to talk to a number of security experts on the, on the sidelines of the security conference. and many emphasized that the ssl is trying to see where flash, what's happening happening between a filipino and the chinese coast guards is, is a potential threat to of security that has to be taken seriously. a claims president vladimir zalinski is also in singapore. i don't believe he's headed this far east since the start of russia's invasion of his country. what's his purpose? well, of course, savanski has been touring europe the nations in recent days for more military age. so he has come here with the same objective in mind. these meeting today on a number of us sides, a number of foot by lateral meetings on the sidelines of the summit. of course, there is a range of interesting populace here, a south korea,

for instance. of course the americans are here, so tomorrow he will give his speech in the mornings at the security conference. and then we'll, we'll learn more about what exactly has this message will be for the singapore security for care of matters. thank you very much for joining us. us a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. poles have closed in the last phase of india's parliamentary elections. nearly a 1000000000 people were eligible to cast their votes over 6 weeks. exit polls suggest that indian prime minister namenda moody's, b j. p. let alliance is set to win a majority. the final results are due on june. 4th, heavy rains and flooding have hit parts of southern germany, water levels in the states of, of area and button brittenback are rising prompting evacuations. in some areas, heavy rain is set to persist over the weekend. in south africa,

the party that led that held a majority for the last 30 years and freed the nation from apartheid has now lost its exclusive grip on power with ballot counting nearly complete the election and commission has appealed for call me the ruling african national congress has received 40 percent of the vote using nearly a 3rd of its support since the last election. the amc must now seek a coalition partners to form a government to him on possibilities include the 2nd place. democratic alliance or former president jacob zoom as newly formed m k party, which came in 3rd earlier we spoke with our correspondent diane hawker in johannesburg, who is asked the national result center. we asked her what has led to the drop in support for the amc willing party. well now we into, i think, a very active political period of negotiations. we've seen a number of political parts indeed as arrive here at the national results center.

and i spoke to the agencies of national cheapest and quite a montage. it, he said that the n c is talking to all parties in an attempt to find those that they can form a government with. we also heard from the economic freedom fighters was the 4th largest party in this election. and they said that they are willing to talk to the amc. so it looks like they will be some very important discussions. taking place over the next few days to form that government government. now the constitution gives the parties 14 days within which to form a government off to the results are announced. so we're expecting that the conversations will be quite intensive, but also there will have to be quite quickly wrapped up. now i want to look at jacobs boomers and k party that 3rd major player. how much are they a disrupt her in these elections? they've definitely turned out to be quite a major disruptive considering that the party was formed just 6 months ago and they

were able to move from basically 0 to 3rd place in this election. now, indications are that the support has come very much from other amc strong holes such as was with natal and implement longer. they don't have as much of a national footprint as some of the other parties. but, you know, the amount of votes that they've gotten thus far is best thing to be lost at and they will be a serious party to consider when it comes to these negotiations, taking place over the next few days. the m. k party has said, however, that isn't willing to speak to the amc to join the coalition. if the amc is still the vice president, so around my posts. so it will mean that those negotiations will be quite tense, i think. and we'll have to see if they can reach some kind of agreement to create a government in south africa. w corresponded diane hawker in johannesburg. thank you very much. with that you're up to date coming up.

are unveiled, shed light on where architecture and sustainability intersect. i'm also chan, thanks for watching the people in trucks engine. i was trying to see the city center and the straight pieces explain the around the world more than 150000000 people of.
