article for link is quite happy with us and he's really official says that prime minister benjamin yeah. last dissolve. the country's war cabinet. that's after minister penny guns and his national unity party quit the government on june 9th. the move comes as israel continues its military operations in the gaza strip. israel's army has said it would implement a daily tactical pause along a road in southern gaza to allow a deliveries through the key care them shall long border crossing. earlier we spoke to the w, corresponded rebecca rivers in jerusalem and asked her why benjamin netanyahu has dissolved at the war cabinet now as well, just hasn't come. as a surprise, nicole, it was largely expected off of any guns and got he either caught didn't stand down from the wall cabinet. a little cabinet was made around about october 11th last year. just off to the breakout of the wall at the behest of many guns who said that
2:02 pm
he would come on board to provide a more unified for the unity government as it is known here. to try to guide the guide as well through these complex time. now since they've stood down, the prime minister this office now says that it is no longer needed this little cabinet, but it's largely sold. that's because of fall right minister, it's him up and with the national security minister was pushing to be loud in to that will cabinet and that's something that's a payment. so benjamin netanyahu clearly wasn't in favor of and certainly wouldn't have pleased israel to ally the united states. so instead, he's decided to dissolve a cabinet completely instead. now decisions will go to a wider security cabinet on which it's my been v. i'm the finance minister, a bit slow smoke tricked both heading ultra nationalist potties in the coalition. they are both on security in that security cabinet and we'll be overseeing some of the decisions being made. although it is thought that they will also be smaller consultative groups made up in an ad hoc fashion and they may contain various
2:03 pm
members that benjamin netanyahu picks at the time for particular decisions which is being said or at store. in some circles at this situation may actually favor benjamin netanyahu, is looking for ways not to enter this for even though there's a lot of international pressure to do so. and by, by allowing or by, in fact, having to have these decisions go to a wider security cabinet that do include these whole coach members. they, they have already said that they do not want to see an end of the war until all the military items has been met. so that could work and benjamin netanyahu site. yeah. rebecca, this is not the only political headache for now. yeah. what seems israel's military and it's government don't really see eye to eye on the issue of those so called tactical pauses that were announced over the weekend. what more can you tell us or that's right. these were announced yesterday pretty early in the morning by the is
2:04 pm
really middle tray that they would be these 11 hour, tactical pauses on a particular humanitarian route, that has been demarcated. now surely off to that announcement, so these fine, right ministers, namely bits, no small bits of those filters and it's them all been great, both came out against them and then we heard from the prime minister's office. so, or at least it was reported to have come from the prime minister's office. the benjamin netanyahu was also upset by this news showing a kind of a rift between the military and what benjamin netanyahu is planning for them to do . so. it's not the 1st time we've seen a difference in opinion and difference in issues they will have to say, what comes of these pauses and whether they'll continue given that risk to w, corresponded rebecca writers from jerusalem. thank you. so many nations want the territorial integrity of ukraine to be the basis of any agreement to end 2 years of war with russia. the call came after a 2 day summit on peace in switzerland to which russia was not invited. bosco's
2:05 pm
allied china did not attend either more than a dozen countries, including major non aligned nations, chose not to endorse the final declaration of the summit. the swiss summit was the 1st high level forum focused on a pathway to p as the 1st of all the war effort. it was also an attempt by the west to involve of the countries in peace efforts based on international little this is not about why or left political ideas. this is not about northern or seldom countries. this is about respect of international lo. i'm human rights, us foundational principles. before leaving together, the consequences of the invasion go far beyond the confines of your as indeed in many ways, africa has been the greatest victim of the conflict of the blockade of the black
2:06 pm
sea. i've had devastating impacts on our economy and i'll standards of living. the documents signed by 84 countries and other groups calls for concrete action on 3 major issues. this 3 shannon years have been analyzed in due to a divorced basis summit. nearly our safety for the security and the release of prisoners as deportees, including thousands, thousands of children, abducted by rush when com. delegates were clear about the summit its limits. russia wasn't invited, but days before the meeting president vladimir putin laid out his own vision for peace. he's insisting on cup pitcher lation, he's insisting on seating ukrainian territory,
2:07 pm
even territory that to date does not, is not occupied by him. he's insisting on this arming ukraine, leaving it vulnerable to future duration, or no country would ever accept these outrageous terms. the t nations did nothing to the documents, including freaks, members, india, saudi arabia, in south africa. and several countries accused west and nations of observing a double standard with regards to other conflicts. we can not be talking about peace and here we joins old africa without mentioning all the money inside the jews as the one taking place in that sense. international law and that you and charter must be respected in every case. there was no consensus on how russia should be brought to the negotiating table. but zalinski said he was already in tones with several nations about the hosting a 2nd summit to continue to push for you craig zuber ration
2:08 pm
earlier, i spoke with the analyst at atlantic castle senior fellow michael books york, if and i asked him how he would rate the summit of course, it depends from what point of view you're looking at this stuff from keith, as well as historical point, a big deal. it was a big success. i mean, almost a 100 countries attended and about the vast majority did sign on to the final communicate, basically demanding that russia pull back and stop hostilities. but there were some important hold on some brazil in the saudi arabia. you a, these are, these are countries that of quite a bit of us way over international affairs. but they're also countries that we have to point out our members of the brakes block of nations to which russia belongs to . and a lot of these countries and is a good example. i said that's up they, they want to see not only rush or the tables, but they also want to see
2:09 pm
a summit that gives an opportunity for more debates. the indians are benefiting vastly from cheap preston oil. they've been sitting on the fence for a long time, and then you have another country like thailand, for example, didn't sign on, but they're benefiting from almost 2000000 russian tours a year. and they're also trading aviation parts to russia. so i think pragmatism and economic considerations slipped into all of this as well. yeah. so we know what motivated the holdouts to not signed the final document but and a lot of here's the landscape says that he released some of them will still come around. how likely do you think that is? yeah, i noticed that he said um, because there were lower level representations, maybe at the foreign minister level that they have to go back to their capitals and consult and they may come on later. i'm not so sure about that, but i can tell you, but discussing this some of with people here on the ground in your brains there. i mean, i think people were expecting the worst,
2:10 pm
but hoping for the best whether peace looks any closer today compared to yesterday . i'm not so sure i, that is the main reason for that is because the russian mentality in playbook are very, very well known here who attend does not respect of international robust laws or communications like this. they've broken hundreds of them. so that's why i think comes expectations here were very, very low. now, for you as someone who knows the situation very well, but also looks at it from, from the outside in a certain sense. as does it matter to put in whether it's a 100 or a $120.00 countries signing up to a documents like this. you know, the best way i can answer that is we just concluded black's a security form here and it pull, let us senators got off and basically screamed at the audience and said look, why are we so,
2:11 pm
where are we such idiots in the west that we still crossed these communications, we crap these demands, we send them to the kremlin and they were ignored. he says that we have to look at the past. we have to look at lessons learned and that put into is not subscribed to again, that rules based international order. and he's going to continue his aggressive stats. the only thing everyone here agrees on is that there's one things that put in risk banks, and that's the power that's pushed back. and that's what we have to see for more of the west, especially in terms of better weaponry and more powerful missiles that can go further in the direction. but so crucially, those air defense systems that can protect podesta and other cities from those powerful russian rockets. so from what you're hearing there ukrainians still very much believe that they can win this war against a very powerful. busy attacker, if given the right tools. yeah, absolutely. and odessa is the perfect example. i was the part yesterday and the
2:12 pm
throughput of food and sunflower oil um is almost their pre war levels. and now they're about to resume container traffic as well. and this has been done because the credit is basically a country with no navy has been able to a bus stop, the russian blockade of the bike seats, but also destroyed about 30 percent of the blacks, the fleet. and that's an incredible achievement. and i think it shows that given the right technology and what can we, they can do this and also ukraine, who realizes that it is basically the grain basket of the world. and that the world markets, especially the poor ones, rely on food coming out of adults. so, so it needs to be treated as an international part tends to muscle given to the credit to protect it. yeah. but western support isn't getting to the front line as in the quantities and as fast as ukraine would like to see. do you see a point at which you create might have to adjust its view,
2:13 pm
its concept of adjust piece to end the fighting, possibly even making concessions regarding its territorial integrity? yeah, it's true that it's taking a while for the equipment to get here and put in has exploded that gap by pushing aggressively further into crane and sending missiles all over the country to look i, i think there is the growing kind of fatigue here and sad lives, there's no ukraine in watching the streets outside here. i can tell you that has of last a close friend or relative and it's natural why i think for people to one piece quickly . but, you know, people are asking themselves of what cost should we, you know, drop our planes to get crimea return. should we give up the don't boss? these are very, very complicated question. i think come, no one would want to be president. so let's get right now because he is in the top spot of on the one hand being pressured more more to find a top piece. but on the other hand, what kind of president does that set to give up to talk so toward that was the
2:14 pm
legal and forcibly seized what kind of message does that send out to other dictators and con, man. so all very, very difficult issues, but for put them to demand something like 25 percent of ukraine and territory and is the latest list of demands. and it's just totally unreasonable. and i think it gives extra game. everyone, an idea of the unrealistic kind of position that the bridge the russians are presenting as michael both york has. thank you so much for your insights. it was great speaking to you. my pleasure. thank you. and before we go, a quick reminder of our top story today and is really official, says that prime minister, benjamin amino has dissolved israel's war cabinet. bad after administer benny guns and his national unity party quits the government on june 9th that's awesome. the news for now, let's say with us we have a documentary coming up on one of the best lines, soccer players in germany,
