big announcement regarding its wnba team. >> from the bay station, you're watching kron. at noon. >> thank you for joining us here on kron. 4 news at noon. i'm justine waldman. we're going to start with some breaking news that we're watching here. first at noon, the hamas militant group says it has accepted egyptian qatari cease-fire proposal to hold its war with israel. the group says its supreme leader delivered the news in a cell phone car with cutters. prime minister and egypt's intelligence minister, the 2 middle eastern nations have been mediating months of talks between israel and hamas. and this is coming hours after israel ordered about 100,000 palestinians to begin evacuating from the southern city of rafah that signaled long promised ground invasion there would be happening soon. a spokesperson for the un agency for palestinian refugees is now saying of these conditions that people are living with in rafah, that
12:02 pm
they're just deteriorating quickly. >> i want to nobody has a paw wet to go. there is advice and went to guide. there is not safety to be led to. so in each set comes on sundays family. now, if it's a lot of panic and a lot of chaos. there was no immediate comment from israel on the deal. the details of the proposal. >> have not been released in recent days. egyptian and hamas officials have said that the cease-fire would take place in a series of stages during which hamas would released hostages that is holding in exchange for israeli troops pulling back from gaza. it's not clear whether this deal is going to meet. hamas is key demand of bringing an end to the war and a complete israeli withdrawal. now, israelis in tel aviv marking yom hashoah, which is the holocaust remembrance day. today's solemn remembrance comes for the first time since the october 7th hamas attack that sparked the current war between israel and hamas in
12:03 pm
hostages square. the table was laid out to remember the hostages taken during the hamas attack in october. >> drive to last. not from us travel. and it feels very meaningful to be here on office. stay on your show we've just come to give oak. we just want everyone to that. we're screaming and crying and governing doing everything that we can. for all people in these from around the world. >> there are about 200 feet. 50 people have been taken hostage in more than 100 people are still being held captive. the attack also killed more than 1200 people in israel. >> making it the deadliest day of violence against jews since the whole cost. and there was a local commemoration for holocaust remembrance day state senator scott wiener joined community members last night at the san francisco jewish community center. but they lit some candles and remembered the horrific. and
12:04 pm
while we do not know very much about the cease-fire proposal, that could be signaling a significant change in the war. stevens a professor of politics and middle eastern studies at the university of san francisco's. joining us now talk about this latest development. it's breaking news. we appreciate you making time to join us here on kron. 4. what do you make of this hamas is now saying it is willing to put on the table the negotiations stand now. >> well, this is the closest we've come a long time. so it's potentially a good news the sticking point had long been the hamas was insisting on a permanent cease-fire and withdrawal of israeli occupation troops from the gaza strip. where's israel is demanding only a pause. the other details about releasing all hostages. how many of the thousands of palestinians detained and israel some nonviolent would be released.
12:05 pm
those details cz part of the main sticking point was was going permit a long-term ceasefire. and based on what we're seeing so far there, it's used terms like a sustained quieter, something kind of somewhat ambivalent, but it might be just the kind of compromise that will these at least lead to a halt in the fighting for for at least a least a couple months. officials are warning that the plan is not the framework that israel proposed. would that mean that israel could? >> possibly not be interested in what egyptian qatari cease-fire proposal is. >> initial force was indeed that this was proposal that had been run by the israelis beforehand. but fda has been going back and that the one hand he's got a pressure from this hard right-wing ministers. you don't want any kind of real cease-fire and
12:06 pm
they starting to withdraw from his narrow coalition, which would then bring him down, require new elections. on the other hand, there have been tens of israelis and out in the streets of friends and relatives of the hostages demanding that that that tv willing to compromise united states is also encouraging him to to to compromise. so. and that's so netanyahu's ambivalence on this. it's it's hard to hard predict whether this is something that he refused to accept or whether he will go ahead. and with the agreement. >> i'm reading here from the associated press that palestinians in rafah erupted in cheers after this hamas announcement. they we're hoping that that meant that the evasion, their invasion there could be averted. it still remains unclear, though. i'm wondering how much this rafah attack that was sort of on the table that seem to be the next step. maybe change things here and trying to reach a deal.
12:07 pm
>> well, all accounts, israel still appears to be preparing for a full-scale offensive a of course, is a small city where over a million and a half displaced people are crowded. this does come through there can can prevent this and could because all the humanitarian agencies and very clear it would be absolute into humanitarian disaster of that on a huge scale. the rate civilian deaths have been the highest of the conflict and the same amount of time since the rwandan genochde. and so, you know, there there is a obviously in crisis is the thing that i think is really going the international most concerned and has put pressure on both sides to end the fighting. >> and we've seen so much in recent weeks. these protests on college campuses, including here locally at stanford cal cal poly with these students having several demands mostly from their university. i'm
12:08 pm
wondering how this, you know, cease-fire proposal, how a thumb, how do you think it will change with these students? are these protesters on campus? what they're trying to accomplish? >> well, if that there is a genuine cease-fire, think it maybe take a little bit of the edge off the urgency of the protests, especially since the semester is thing down and most to universities. at the same time, this whole process is race. a lot of awareness and all the concern college students about the israeli occupation general and the plight of the palestinians. so i think even if there is a students turn 4. we will see if still a fair amount of activism pressing for end to the occupation. justice for for the other palestinians. and and so i don't think a campus activism israel and palestine is necessarily going to end if there is indeed a permanent cease-fire.
12:09 pm
>> how significant in where we are like 200 plus days into this war between israel and hamas that we finally have reached some sort of agreement. that is the seeming to be >> acceptable by both sides. and know they've come up with a lot of different terms. ford up a permanent calm was one of them. >> do you think that this is a big turning point today? >> it remains to be i mean, this is the closest we've come and the fact that we are this close. there's some hope that even israel jax, might go back to the bargaining table that i might be able to hammer something out. something allen took before a full-scale offensive on rafah. we help can only hope because of it's been a huge, a humanitarian disaster. it gotten the attention of the world. it lead to obviously political turmoil here in this country. and so it can only hope for the best.
12:10 pm

>> both republicans and democrats, a violent protest is unacceptable, but they disagree over how president biden and some universities have responded. with graduation season under way. police are stepping in on some college campuses to clear encampments and break up clashes over the israel-hamas war. they should not have been allowed to fester on campus for 2 weeks. arkansas republican senator tom cotton told abc universities have been too slow to act. the liberal politicians refused to the police to clear them out the very first day the president addressed the protests at length for the first time last week. he denounced violence but said he supported peaceful protest. >> his campaign co-chair told cnn the president believes all students should feel safe. president's been very clear about this. he's also been very strong about the need to stamp out anti-semitism and islamophobia. but florida republican senator marco rubio told fox news the president's
12:12 pm
comments came to lead a 7 days into this crisis that we should heard from from the very beginning. while president biden said the protests have not affected his policy when it comes to the war in gaza, california, democrat congressman ro khanna told cbs he thinks the protests have made a difference. everyone from the president on down is aware that young people are upset at what's going on in the middle east tonight. i do think its head it awakening in washington that this war has to end. >> so far more than 2000 protesters have been arrested since these protests started in mid april. >> in washington, i'm maddie beer-temple. coming up. attention for electric vehicle owners is needed now because their new tax credits that are coming your way will break it coming your way will break it all down for your money.
