on the israeli side, 0 casualties as a result of this 0 death. despite all of the rockets, hundreds of rockets that came in from god's it really gives you a sense of the sorts of the inequality in this conflict. if we're talking about the forces on hand is rowe and the forces on hand for islamic jihad now going forward were obviously in this cautious sort of sees far at the moment. what is let me g had, has said that they demanded the release of to prison is one of them, a senior member of the group. what israel has said on the other hand, egyptian officials have said that he's ro, is open to discussing that israeli minister, speaking on the radio today, has said that the israel hasn't committed to anything. so we'll have to see what happens, what negotiations happen, or continue to happen if they are doing behind closed doors. and if that takes place in the next few days, he's also said that if things remain calm,

then it's open to opening the crossing and got more fully. that's obviously going to be really important to the thousands of people in gaza that depend on what permits into his route and coming into his ro to work 14000 people have work permit . that's something that really use to sort of cut an open the access to sort of stick encourage. just for example, in july, in the past month is row was going to give a 1500 more work permits, didn't do that because it said rockets were coming over. so that's another important element there. wherever that workforce can can can start to flow again into his row and can start to get some income back for those families. okay, thank you so much. john holeman reporting from west jerusalem. meanwhile and the occupied westbank is really forces have demolished palestinian homes during a raid there in the north. bulldozers accompanied by is really forces destroyed to

have some demands which would like to be met before they sign among them. for instance, a release from 400 prisoners. the government has refused to just talk to the foreign minister of child. he said, there is no way those prisoners can be released before a final agreement before a find them deal that will be achieved during the national bilingual. she's going to take place of that. as i said later, this month with me here is followed for saying he's going to, he's from the national council for reform. he's one of the 42 organizations or groups that have find this agreement, and he says he's happy. so we want to ask why, what's, what's, what's about see that chad has signed lots of similar agreements in the past. ah, 1st of all, i sank your da 0 english and there we are very optimistic. we are happy. today we signed the piece agreement. this is a,

one of the historic disagreement for the chat, and then they sign it out of us, african or continent. this is the 1st time and then i sang, sang katara, to be mediators to bring these please. to day we sign it, we are happy and then all the child in will be happy after this bees and ring. why are you happy? what's different about disagreement? because this piece agreement, there is a lot of international community involved to observe all to, to quinn, to, to continue to see where did that piece in chad. so thus wise, a lot of delegation is yesterday. ah, 1st of all, the united nation, african unions and countries around the child, the, all the camp here today to see the peace or agreement. that's why today we are very happy where it was domestic and then her mama did use debbie. he's will camp or were he, he came here already, to see all the political, her movement hears to,

to say, i do appreciate them to sign the piece agreement. seems that not all chaldeans are ready for peace because some of them have not attended this ceremony today. and they have not signed one of them is one of the most active groups in shot military . yeah, the peace agreement is still opened and none is still open for everybody to conjoin in the peace agreement in the future. so we urge and then today i urge everybody headed inside and then because this is a short memory for the chat, then so anybody who did in psi and he will continue to sign the or the, or the, the disagreement is open. so for aren't you consent that one of the main factions, an armed function, very active in the country has not attended and has an assignment. so that is hesitation for as a fact. so because they stay here for 5 months through to negotiate with the chad in government. but i have the optimistic, they are welcome in the future. the signs of peace agreement of to joins is this

was agreement. so that's why, you know, lager or the chatting government is still the half hour that demand for everybody and outside the country will come and then to joins a piece like you so much. so father has seen from the national council for reform. so basically, the 42 groups that have signed disagreement to they, they say they are very optimistic. they said this is the biggest, the biggest gathering and the biggest deal of its kind of chat has see and chat has signed dozens of similar deals in the past. but they said this is the greatest and they said it's time each had everybody in chad is titled of war is cited of conflict. and they believe that with the help of cotton and other countries and the u. n. and the year and that the african union, and because the charges are ready for peace now and tired of war, they think this agreement will last. okay, thank you so much for having that. val reporting for us from dell ha. well, most of ukraine's money is going to fund its war effort against russia,
