the definitely manage refunded resources and play a vital role in solar energy harnessing, offering 75 percent of global carbon credits essential. committed to environmental protection, enhancing investment climate. digital licensing. your better tomorrow. the . the hello, i'm sammy's a them. this is the news, our live from dell coming off in the next 60 minutes call to confirm the full days this ation of hostilities between how my son is riley and the gaza strip ceasefire . expected to stop thursday morning palestinian women and children detained in his riley prisons will be exchanged as positive deal. as i'm us, release is, is raven campus housing garza.
4:01 pm
the meanwhile those be no laptop and as well. bombing campaign on gaza, more than $14000.00 palestinians have been killed since october, the 7th. and this right, the forces, right, that's on caught on refugee camp in the occupied west bank surrounding hospitals. 6 feet long killed the or it's $1300.00, gmc, that's 3 p. i mean garza cost or has confirmed time. us in israel have agreed on a temporary truce in the besieged, tyler tree. this development comes off the weeks of negotiations mediated by called, alongside the us and the egypt. these right, the government approves a deal officer, lang st cabinet meeting. and despite the divisions among ministers, the polls is expected to stop on thursday morning,
4:02 pm
a prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the agreement does not mean the will, will stop. the statement released by the thoughts of the ministry of foreign affairs on the social media platform x says the state of cost analysis. the success of is joining mediation efforts undertaken with egypt and the united states between israel and time. us resulting in an agreement for a humanitarian pause. the starting time of the pause will be announced within the next 24 hours and last 4 full days, subject to extension. here's what we do know about the deal. it involves the release of 50 as writing women and child captives in exchange for a temporary full day seas. fine is riley is willing to pause hostilities for further day. for every 10 additional caps is released by him. us under the deal is believed about $300.00 trunks of humanitarian aid, including fuel will be allowed into the strip during the 4 days. israel has agreed
4:03 pm
not to fly drones for 6 hours a day in the north. from ice was concerned is right. the error operations would be used to gather further intelligence during the temporary seas 5. also in the agreement, we believe about a $150.00 palestinian women and children will be released from his writing jails as well as made it clear that no one convicted of murder will actually be freed. are all doing the timeframe as far as writing media. se, palestinians who fled to southern gaza will not be allowed to return to their homes in the north. and the most depressing possible israel says it's will resume its from boston as soon as the temporary truce is over. gosh on baskin is a former is riley negotiate, who's now the middle east director of international communities organization. he wants some complications might arise from implementing the deal. the deal isn't
4:04 pm
done until it's done and there's so many complications that could be involved, particularly with regard to the ceasefire. opportunities for either side to shoot at the other a oppertunity squares or to collect intelligence information. i mean, just imagine what would happen if these were these suddenly discovered the location of the using was or other leaders from the, from us command. would they wait or would they go and take action if there are palestinians from the north of gaza, who are relocated in the south? now decide to use the next 5 days, 4 or 5 days to try and go back to their homes. and the rep rates of hundreds of palestinians walking by foot. are these rare these guys who allow them, how will they stopped in the? we know that when a mass will release the hostages, they will probably use multiple convoys of identical vehicles. a while israel will try to trace the location of where the hostages might have been held. there, there are all kinds of difficulties and complications that could happen. we have to
4:05 pm
keep our fingers crossed and pray that it all goes smoothly. because if it does, there could be a 5th day and a 6 day, not all the women and all the children are being released and not all the women and children prisoners are being released. so there's an opportunity to add onto the existing agreement without having to re negotiate something new, which will be again, more difficult as well. we have correspondence across the region covering the story zane bus and all the is in nablus in the occupied westbank. raleigh challenge isn't occupied east jerusalem on the political divisions in israel, but 1st let's stop with hash of all the bottle. he's hit to discuss the diplomatic side of things. so i assume there is a, a big question of calls. we understand this truth is supposed to come into effect tomorrow, that's at least what's being reported, but according to what you understand from the thoughts remediated as well,
4:06 pm
is there a specific time fixed in this truth? still, that is the general consensus that is going to happen tomorrow they do, and this time this is a crucial moment to the most delicate. and this is, this explains the cautious optimism that you can see in the states was made by serial. i thought it or official, so when you, when you say this is what van this is you talking about how to officials. this is one of 3 officials on the stand. right. exactly. and the, and, and the course of sol, tim is about the 1st few hours of the deal are going to be the most decisive moment . okay. hang on, hold that fall. and i'm going to come to you in a minute about this. but since we've got you on the point of when this sconces, i think it's an important question on the minds of, of a lot of people palestinians waiting to see if they'll get some relief. and also perhaps families always ready to caps is, let's bring in really challenges. i said he's life for us. and rory, what i want you to reflect on what hashem side was. that's the understanding of the
4:07 pm
costs of the media is, is, is that the general understanding of the signals we get him from his writing officials is that this truth is going to start tomorrow. is everyone on the same page here or not, in other words, 40 yeah, that pretty much on the same page that tomorrow is going to be the 1st day in which you will see a law in the fighting as to exactly what time that's got into a car, well, these right immediate as being report saying that they think it's going to be about 6 the c a m local time. that's slightly different from what, how mass i have been saying, which is they think it's going to be happening, get about 10 am local time. so a difference of, you know, a few hours, but still tomorrow morning, tomorrow i am is when pretty much everyone thinks that this is going to kick in, in honest, you have also of course the, the timings for the fast release of, of caps is a when that's going to happen. there is a belief that that we might see at least being produced by how much of the 1st 10
4:08 pm
or so kept savings given to these rays. and then again, tomorrow you might see the 1st, capt saves making their way back to as well. okay, that's a good point. i'm going to come to zane in a moment, but i want you to pick up on the point you would just about to make about the 1st few hours of crucial what happens that now if you see the states was made by the cuts, audio officials go up those by administer, and this was supposed to have the minister of foreign affairs and also have medical if you is the top, negotiate to involve thought a team that has been negotiating this deal to basically insisting on the need for the base to move forward. seeing that the path forward is going to be extremely delicate for a simple reason, as we speak now. and this is according to i seem to have muscle official, the list of both the captives of these policy and prisoners have been exchanged. so how much is looking into the find the list as we speak now for saying, let's go ahead and this is the same thing for these bodies when they officially
4:09 pm
announced the seas via this is what it gets extremely, extremely delicate, how the southern part of it goes of this is where some of the most important movements he's going to stop to happen when it comes to mind as of how much taking the top tips all the way towards a certain points to be handed over to i see you cuz i can see how soon were getting into the process, which i do want to get into a minute, but you touched on it and pull some money better about looking through the list. so green on those names. we go to bring in zane, cuz zane is standing by life as a novelist and understand zane, when palestinian prisoners are released they going to the west bank, right? that's beyond the standing. how crucial will it be that the, those who are released of all the people that the palestinians all hoping will be released. i mean say, i mean what you're talking about is
4:10 pm
a numbers game that is not in favor of any of the palestinians either on or off the list we've been speaking to members of, of the family members of those that have been held from novela state of the names on the list that had been making their way between the israelis and the palestinians. 8 of them are women from novelist. the total number of women being held in is rarely custody, is around $89.00. only 33 names of women are on that list. and even out of those 33, it has not been confirmed to any of the families by the palestinian prisoners society or any other official body, whether they will definitely be released or not. so here it's a waiting game. we've spoken to people who are a pessimistic they've been here before with other family members. you can trace generational trauma in the occupied westbank across the occupied territories in the sense that multiple generations of people have been imprisoned in these rarely jails. they've been here before and they say they won't believe it until they see
4:11 pm
and you've spoken to others. you say they're very, very optimistic. we were just in the home of a woman named stuff. we're 29 years old. her parents say that her uncle was in prison when she was born. that's how she got her name. so we're meeting freedom more to set free and she will if she gets out the meeting, a niece who was born when she was in prison. oh, so it is a very intrinsic issue. people being and friends, it is in prison, is a very intrinsic issue for palestinians at the very sensitive issue, obviously on the palestinian street hash and back here and the studio take us through the process. what the costs of the mediating team understand is the process. what supposed to happen, who guarantees that everything goes by a clock look. because how does the egyptians of the amount of cause i'm going to be the being got on tools of this deal. and this explains why, for example, signed me since yesterday was the only one statement from the outside of government . we sold this book best and also talking,
4:12 pm
praising that the bus thing very cautious because they do understand it is good. no, none of them are there on the ground, right. and you would just beginning to say and talk about people being released from one pointing gauze that i handed or moved further north. i mean that what is the mechanism for that? they how they have that teams operating, for example, in the roof of glossing, it's going to be a crucial point in this agreement. they would be liaising with the egyptians who with a course of all in the and overs of the captives and the liaison with the americans of the same time. so this is what he's hopping on. this is why somebody briefly why is an extra one, perhaps some of the most delicate operation is that we're going to see how much is insisting on no fly zone in this and parts of the country of cuz that strip for a reason they don't want to see dr. jose flying over detecting the, the movement of the o people under the system on have they got back guarantee from the understanding that you of the officials that you've spoken to with the counselor we may,
4:13 pm
the 8th is that there will be no real activity in southern guns tell you what they say. it's a fast moving fluid situation with only take it the moment it stops officially kicking and there is a great deal of anxiety over this optimism bodies, great deal of anxiety because of the complexity of this operation. what is happening? so i mean, why is this, you will see the movement of the presence of the captive and the presidents. you will have to ensure that the northern southern part is going to be no flight though a dates are 6 all a day time. no flight window that starts from 10 am to 4 pm according to how about senior officials. just a while ago is a necessity for the movement of the people. otherwise, this is not gonna work okay. now is that windows? nobody's in the north of gaston tonight. okay. hang on, stay with me here. roy, i want to bring you back in. those sorts of details from your understanding from the signals are getting from israeli officials, has that been agreed to no fly zones in the south 6 hour windows have no fly zones
4:14 pm
in the north. and what about the legal process? let's not forget all of this clock work mechanism that i'm chatting about with hashem. does that take into account the legal process that is riley is going through a nose. they play a names for release as well. i mean, as husband was saying that a lot of this is being worked out kind of in a very short space of time. and so the galaxies are the kinds of things that's on really being a necessary, at the moment to basically have 2 governments. what, at least you know, these ready government and how much trying to work out, what is acceptable of full body's policies? what is acceptable for people as well? now in terms of releasing a prison is uh that has to go through a certain amount of best thing, of course, and the names the these, right?
4:15 pm
these have all kinds of suiting prisoners who are going to be part of this deal. yes, they need to be looked at adams, the is right is have to be comfortable that these people are not serious serious offenders. and by that yeah, the main criteria is be puts on. it is they kind of will be much risk. but there are people, many women who are in that relates to it being accused calls attempted mad stoppings and the like. and there are plenty of teenage boys who have been accused of throwing stones and rising and less of crimes like that. so it's essentially the main criteria for these right? these on, this is no mattress to be included. that list, of course, on the other side, when it comes to legalities of, of the cap saves that. how much is going to be releasing? well, this one has no control over that. essentially it's how mice will come up with a list every day of 10 of the captives women and children. and they will give those
4:16 pm
to these, right, these and these raise would accept. so effectively take those accounts as back as a when that release by how much, but they don't have any control over who exactly is going to be released at what time. right, so this is clearly of a very much a process that will be working day by day. it sounds like right, passion. what about a, what has been agreed? do you know, do we know for me when you speak with the cost? remediate is how many trucks will include fuel. i spoke a half an hour ago to an aide worker from the policy in red crescent who said her understanding was fuel will not be allowed to go with the hospitals. what are you hearing? it has not been decided yet. i had a note to, here's what a senior, how much official just while ago, he said that they are expecting to see 200 to 300 trucks crossing in til guys on
4:17 pm
a daily basis, including trucks. the going to be a trucks carrying fuel that has to go everywhere, including hospitals on that's i saying this how much 1st time you that's what they're expecting. well, that's what's been agreed. this is what they are expecting. it's not been finalized . and this explains why signed me as we speak, of the reason why you're getting this sense. so a cautious optimism about this deal is that even when they agree to night, this is what we think the final agreement about the time the details will be made to model. they will go to go to the seas by each pretty much concerned about what's next one. find the fault here. sammy, since yesterday is the believe the shape of how much which is coming publicly to look into the media about the details of these. like we meant why they don't want to be seen as dumpling on some things that could potentially but fine. it's
4:18 pm
a phase massive destruction and in the gaza strip, a huge loss of life. you cannot come out to the people and say, we have a d, a, the come back to them 2 days later, i say it totally collapsed. they, they doing this, that is going to be an extremely dangerous situation. otherwise it's wasteful this . let's briefly go back to zane, cause zane your in the west bank and we talk about the needs of the palestinians from your discussions with the palestinians. talk us through what they needs all when it comes to food fuel. i mean we're talking now about 2 to 300 trucks and that's about how for the daily average was before october, the 7th. right. that is correct. people continue to tell us that it's the obvious absolute atrocities being carried out in gaza. their friends, their families, people here feel very connected to what's happening there. they say that what they
4:19 pm
are watching happening seems absolutely impossible to 1000 and out of control. and the help that needs to be going, it simply is not enough and will not be enough going forward anytime soon. what has been cleared through the un, through the israeli government to go into the roof across and whatever the delivery means, it is an absolute trickle compared to the help that we're receiving before the bombardment started. and absolutely not enough compared to what they need to receive. now, when you speak to people here in the occupied westbank, they say that their leaders have in pensylvania, now they say that the international community has failed them. and they say that no matter what happens next, even if their conditions improve as long as there is, this is really choke, hold on the occupied territories, as long as israel is able to do whatever it wants and how soon in communities be that in gaza or in the occupied westbank, something common we've heard from several people is they describe a sense of incomplete happiness. so even if they have their families back with this
4:20 pm
prisoner exchange, even if they are able to move forward somehow their happiness will remain incomplete. as long as these atrocities in gaza continues to be carried out. all right, let's thank all of our correspondence. how is your mazda bottom here in the studio? we've got zane of course, and roy, thank you so much for coming together and pooling all of your collective knowledge and context and insight into this try and help us to understand exactly how things are supposed to unravel going forward. thanks so much. now there's no response for palestinians across the gaza strip, even while the tubs of that deal being finalized as well is maintained, its relentless bombardment. while the house ministry says 14128 palestinians have been killed and is ready, the attacks is riley strikes of talking to the residential area in the office south of garza, several people have reportedly being killed or injured rescue efforts or on the way
4:21 pm
to remove, survive as traps under the rubble of israel counted out as strikes me the cannot allowed one hospital in northern gauze or for a 2nd time at least 200 past indians have been killed and attacks overnight and on wednesday morning. so let's take a closer look at the fine thing on the ground and goes up. most of the come by areas are in the north is ready for us, is a baffling palestinian sizes from the assign brigades and the stomach jihad and these regions shaded in red st. back. how's it going on and densely populated areas in that around garza city and mid jabante, a refugee camp is riley, troops and tanks of also reportedly made further advances into the shaded areas in the north band and central gauze up just beyond why? because it's very forces have been pounding insight on the refugee camp, raising phase or further on slopes we'll talk about assume is in han eunice in the southern positive because of strep. so thought it how people react thing, that's
4:22 pm
a news, and hopes that a truce may kick in as soon as tomorrow morning. a yes, sam a as the truce as we are edging forward towards the truthful or we did the coming 24 hours. people on the side of the gauze was tread, had the majority of them, a feeling of domestic in terms of this choose that would largely mitigate the in human discussions. dot edu, deceased territory has been witnessing since the beginning of this round, a fine thing where people see this as a real challenge that might, that the way you prefer the long term to something like this. we're on garza, as of the truth, will be here over 4 days. that will include the flu of a miniature and aids and fuel to the gaza strip us from us. officials, i'd say to that's around from $200.00 up to $300.00 military and a trucks will be allowed into the gauze district on regular daily basis. we're out
4:23 pm
the full days of the truth as also 8 trucks will be carrying a huge debt to trucks. of gallons will also be covering all the gaza strip areas, including the southern and even the northern areas which did not till this very moment to receive any kind of humanitarian aid. but this truth gotta be included within the process of distribution of humanitarian heights that will be delivered. so the policy is up leaving that this, these kinds of these fires will help them to overcome the shuttle will and will put an ends for the ongoing relentless attacks on both sides between our mazda and do you spell it out? few patients. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. bye bye. 0 on the have is an assistant professor of international law at georgetown university and concert joins be now here. live good to have you with us. so from the details which we have seen so far, how much of a cost to celebrate,
4:24 pm
do you see this pause as well? they'll come in any relief from the bombing, any sort of delivery if you mandatory. an aid is of course, extremely welcome. but there are some serious problems i think with this temporary cease fire. first of all is really prime minister. netanyahu has made clear that the bombing over zoom, the fight thing was war, will go on. and secondly, it's not really a political solution. i mean, sure, it may constitute a building block towards an actual political solution later on and that would be ideal. but we've seen, given the statements made by high level, is really officials that the intention is to and inflict damage. it's not on the accuracy, it's to eliminate everything and is really president heard, soc himself set the entire nation of boston who is responsible. and so i think that it's been made clear that there is a policy of collective punishment breton the girl at the top, middle east adviser to president by then said in his remarks,
4:25 pm
related to the temporary agreement that you know, can't just give him us what it wants it has to be conditioned on the release of hostages and so conditioning aids on the release of hostages is not only wrong, it's actually illegal withholding aids. and any arms conflict is constitutes a work crime. and so there's a deliberate strategy to use the suffering of palestinians who needs this aid so desperately in order to pressure him us to us. are these hostages, do you see any chance of this developing further into something of a more permanent sci fi as well? that is certainly the hopes, so it's unclear to me what exactly how maces' long term and game here is. i mean, it's certainly clear, i think so far from the is rarely is that this was the fighting before the bump the bombing will continue to, but it's unclear to me, and it's also unclear to me what israel has gained militarily,
4:26 pm
really so far in the last 7 weeks and so i'm a little bit cynical about about this process. what about the people of the north of golf so will i be able to reach them? thank you know, that is raining now. we hear points that they've established to kind of cut off the flow. what will happen to people who are still trapped in the north? will i be able food, fuel and so on, reach them? one of the causes of the, of the temporary agreement is the sort of to allow for movement along the selected, the roads which connect to northern goes up to the south. but is it one way movement, which is what the media is reported. right. well yeah, only if you want to leave the know a spot for those who might be unable to move, we don't have cause they don't have petrol, even also may not be in a health condition to move what happens to them. well, this is the concern that again, this humanitarian pause or whatever he wants to call it may be weaponized to
4:27 pm
facilitate. so the continued forcible transfer of palestinians, forcible displacement of palestinians. and you know, to constitute as an impediment to the effect of delivery of humanitarian aid. to palestinians whether they are in the north or the south. but also the reality of the current situation is that by forcing powers, by continuing to force palestinians to, to move south. israel is creating an impossible situation for, for them. i mean, 2200000 people trapped in the south is uh, is going to be an impossible reality for them. both from a humanitarian aid perspective, but also for the political future of, of hassle. so given all of that, what you said, what happens the day off to the truths, then this just goes back to the destruction that we've been seeing. the comments we've been saying, well, this is based on the statements made by the is really government that will probably be the case. it will be interesting to see whether homeless holds on to what i
4:28 pm
think. i believe it considers some of the is really the individuals that it has held captive as soldiers. i don't know if this is entirely true, but in that case, they can then make the argument that these are prisoners of war. and under international i would be able to get a minute to keep, to keep them in captivity. but again, based on the is really government's statements, the war will continue. hopefully that will change over the course of this pressure is, has no impact. so of all the statements by organizations like, i'm this the international saying on october the 27th that describing this as indiscriminate disproportionate, these variety of tax, the statement by the u. n. new york. human rights office director of talking about the wholesale slaughter of palestinian people, talking about the statements from you and experts on the 16th of october talking about a genocide in the making novices having any impact. i'm sure it is actually for
4:29 pm
sure. it definitely is having an impact, but unfortunately it's not having the kind of impact that most of us would want to see. however, it should continue. this pressure absolutely should continue the international commission of tourists. it should um, a very important legal refer yesterday about genocidal intent and, and, and what this all means for the crime of genocide in the ongoing work. but they also says something really important. they said that states are, every state has a responsibility, has an obligation to do everything in its power to prevent and to punish even the, the, the, the commission of these serious crimes and it, and it's um, it pointed out and pointed to the united states in particular because of the effects of impact that it could what have as israel's most powerful ally, to uh, to compel them to, to uh, to stop the war and, and push for permanency supplier. i know thank you so much for coming in and sharing your analysis on this. the still ahead on al jazeera, the lebanese group has the law says it will abide by the goal is
4:30 pm
a truce. fox will re access as well, 1000 officer oppression, for generations. there comes a time to fight for freedom and survival. as one of the highest ranking members of an indigenous civil defense force to columbia and grandmother fiercely protects her community and the world's largest cocaine for juicing regional land or death. a witness documentary on a jersey to unsettle tax upfront takes on the big issue avenue, democratic nations justified this kind of behavior is not piece of that is being talked about. it is more unflinching questions, rigorous to be we are behind the mass that goes to the being to get it out by bolts
4:31 pm
. clinton. yahoo is to go and there is collateral damage. there's collateral damage . that's more reality is leading to what we're seeing now. the grounds are sufficient upfront on how to 0. the news the while come back, you're waltzing out. just 0 time to recap ah headlines now. pop out of has confirmed time. ask them as well. have agreed to a cessation of hostilities and guns are off the weeks of negotiations mediated alongside the us in egypt to cease fire is expected to stop on thursday morning. as part of that deal, 50 women and children captives will be help held in guides and will be freed in
4:32 pm
exchange for the release of some palestinian women and children from israeli prisons. propose will also allow the entry of more age, including fuels like your monetary in needs. meanwhile, israel is bombardment is being relying plus as strikes of targeted a residential area in the off south, some gaza. at least 8 people have reportedly being killed or injured. health ministry says 14128 palestinians have been killed in these really attacks. a lot of we heard from how mazda is political bureau, man, but most of them out of so he explains how the deal will be implemented. yeah, me live here. i've done this. the truth will start on thursday at 10 in the morning. there will be a ceasefire in all regions of the gaza strip. deal with the norwalk lanes or air traffic and gaza from 10 am till 4 pm. the red cross will receive all guest these
4:33 pm
really civilian women and children until the roof of crossing. they will be going to egypt to defend a scene in women and children with serving certain periods. and that is really jails are from the west bank. and they will be going to their houses. we have said since the 1st day that the is really civilians, most of them would do the citizens are well guess to me and. and there is no need for them to stay in gaza. and we also said since the beginning, the beacon leave and go to their places immediately when the seas fire is agreed to assign the low is communications advisor for the norwegian refugee council in palestine joins us now on skype from occupied east joyce and good to have you with us, so 1st of all, give us your understanding. have you been notified as to what kind of a will be entering when it will come in? how many trunks,
4:34 pm
those kinds of details. so you can coordinate with you all teams which are on the ground that and i've just been in touch with our staff that's working on that emergency response. and our understanding is that you, when i the, when is coordinating with the border crossing to establish what goods will be coming across to prioritize what's most needed. and then they will be working with low or international humanitarian organizations. in. * and such as the norwegian refugee council, to distribute that paid and, and to those organizations who will then be able to distribute around throughout all of garza, we have not heard yet whether the 10 trucks worth of goods that we have leading to across into gaza will make it through in the next 4 days, due to due to all of the bureaucratic hurdles in terms of getting, getting the, the goods per screen. have you been notified of fuel
4:35 pm
deliveries to hospitals having being cleared? my understanding is that there have not been restrictions on fuel or water reaching all areas of gaza. that's what our staff since has been told has been told. and we haven't heard any confirmation, more or denial, that a fuel will be able to access all areas including hospitals. it seems that the picture is then not entirely clear. i spoke about half an hour ago to a representative from the palestinian red crescent, who said her understanding was fuel will be allowed into sanitation sites for drinking water, but specifically not to hospitals so far. we haven't heard that or been able to confirm or deny whether or not that is true, but we have not heard that there will be restrictions placed on one of the few will can be used for once it enters casa. okay. if you have teams on the ground,
4:36 pm
will they be able to take a to the north where people, where many thousands of palestinians remain we are hoping that will be able to deliberately throughout we are concerned about the ability to reach those areas due to the tremendous amount of disruption caused from the last 6 weeks of possibilities we did. and that's why we, in addition to meeting this and welcoming this pause in terms of the ability for us to, to distribute even more and more effectively. we hope that this will lead a longer term, long lasting sustain these fire so that we can continue to access places throughout the 4 days is not nearly enough to reach all in need and to, and to address the tremendous amount of humanitarian suffering that's going on inside of gaza as a result of the last 6 weeks of,
4:37 pm
of bombing on the point of tremendous suffering that you mentioned that since you have people on the ground, just describe for us what it means. right now, if you're a palestinian, if your home is being bombed, if you've been injured or wounded, given the states of collapse, what happens to do just bleed out? is there some way you can go to get medical help? way can you sleep some of the basic things that the rest the world takes for granted all much the world takes for granted. so what we're hearing from our style is that it is increasingly difficult problem. all of the, not just the northern, got that in the city, but also south of warranty garza to find basic needs. they're only 9 hospitals, partially functioning throughout all of garza. so in terms of getting the type of medical treatment that people need, they are able to do it now we desperately need
4:38 pm
a scaling of, of medicines, medical supplies, and doctors coming into not that and, and in order to treat all of those who have been wounded and injured in terms of even finding basic food, food, necessities, rice, flour, east, clean water, those have become increasingly difficult to find. and so we need not just these $300.00 trucks per day, but a massive scaling of, of the amount of humanitarian assistance going in. and we need it for more than just the 4 days that, that we've heard so far for, for this pause. what about movement of people will some injured people be allowed out? will you be able to rotate your stuff and perhaps send all the medical teams to relieve those who must be exhausted at this point? is that have you been notified of, of your ability to do any of that during the truce as well. we don't actually do medical relief work in the other organizations. a terry carry on that,
4:39 pm
that work. in terms of our staff, we have 53 staff on the ground and you guys are all of whom are level palestinian staff. it seems it's impossible for them to leave right now. we are desperately hoping that we can have that international staff mobilized and ready to enter. but we need assurances of their safety in order for us to bring them into gaza and, and for that we need a long term ceasefire in order to really give a concerted humanitarian response. all right, thank you so much for your time. thank you. all right, let's continue this now and go over to sat a highlight. she joins us now from tel aviv so, so we know that these riley cabinet voted to accept this deal was not exactly unanimous. how's that playing out politically? the, the yeah it takes an hour is integration and
4:40 pm
eventually may made a volume. the majority agreed that this should go ahead except for 3 votes out of something like 35 or so. so that just gives you an idea that the direction they all agreed on, what does this was necessary to achieve one of the 2 goals, and one of that is to ensure the release of those health caps. if you had 3 of those votes, that was a game that includes, is it some up and give it? he is the national security minister of foreign ministers. it and says by doing this we is route is giving the license. he said to a group white hum us to increase the levels of attacks potentially in the future. he says it also shines a site sign of weakness. but then on the other hand, you had the people life as well. most smart trips, the finance minister, who's also in charge of the expansion of settlements in the west bank. he said that he changed his mind along with his policy members that had been against it
4:41 pm
initially and said they were convinced enough that this decision is in the national interest of achieving those goals. but more importantly, he also said that one of the reasons that convinced him is a prime minister benjamin netanyahu is reassurances. and that's of the will cabinet that as soon as that pause is other voss the will resumes as it is and will continue with full force. and how, while families of some of the captives reacting to that idea that some families will get their loved ones back. all those won't. and they'll see the will resume. they'll see the strikes resuming pounding areas, but not in the palestinian civilians. right. but potentially also, some of these are the captives are being held yeah, it's makes feedings because on one hand, the sun released that at least the se, ill make that has existed with his route refusing initially to, uh, negotiates in,
4:42 pm
on any way or in any terms with him, us, and that seems to of course, of course, uh, there's been a backpedaling way under us pressure and international pressure and pressure from the families as well that had been protesting and marching for weeks. now this is a square here where assistance has been held and they all continue. i don't know if you can hear that as, pray as the evening pres, via these riley jews here. but they've also been talking about how avail, signing, and sold as are and see what those families. but the biggest concerns to them is that those names haven't been released yet. so that will be many families wondering if the relative on those list it will be released every day as so 10 the night before the names will be released and then they'll know who's being released the next day. but of course not. so every $150.00 is not enough for them. they want one of the almost 240 release, because right now we know a few of them have been killed already. it's still not clear how many more may have
4:43 pm
been killed because of the stripes because of the situation. and also the other concern is, is that not all of them a house by him, us, some of the my house why stomach to have and it seems for what, how much has said before the whereabouts of all of those campuses isn't quite clear just yet. now we will be hearing from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who's going to be holding a public speech hasn't been clarified what time, but usually locally, around 8 pm is the time he usually does it, that's around 6 pm gmc. so will expect to hear from him and likely will expect to have more on those details that are being lines out as to when to cease 5 thoughts . currently there are room is that it was thoughts around 10 in local media quotes thing from us. all right, we'll leave it the thanks so much. the higher a hi, it's got some reaction us reactions to the developments our white house correspondent, kimberly how it could joins us from outside the white house. so any reaction from that white house behind you? kimberly well, certainly there is
4:44 pm
a bit of breath holding this taking place in the bible administration. they're both pleased and relieved. but until there is actually the 1st appearance of the captive, there are many that are in just wait and kind of holding their breath. and that's the same feeling on capitol hill as well. the top democrat in the us senate chuck schumer saying that this is a positive development that reminding many that there still hundreds that remain in captivity and 50 is certainly just a small portion of that. there is some potential excitements about the possibility that one of the captives fried could be a 3 year old american girl who was orphaned on october 7th. but there is a faction within the democratic party space. specifically, the progressive wing are the further left wing, but still feels this has not gone far enough. and is us somewhat critical if you
4:45 pm
could even say that the about the president and his work so far on this, given the fact that this is not a permanent cease fire. and that's what many are looking for. and we seen public pressure build on the by the administrator and haven't we? we've also seen divisions intensify within the democratic cam. how is all that going to be impacted now by this true steel? well, what seems to be happening for the president is somewhat good news because well, the president has some of his lowest approval ratings ever. is largely usually with the economy on foreign policy issues. he's getting higher mark, specifically israel, his support of israel and also how he's handled you frame. and so as a result, this could help the president who needs it right now, given the fact that he's trying to win re election, voters are not giving them high mark so. so as a result, they are hopeful that at least here at the white house,
4:46 pm
this will give the present the boost that he needs. all right, we'll leave at that time so much. kimberly, how could now crowds have been rallying in rome. i last of the 10 pre truesdale between us and israel, palestinian tries that are not moved on bass as well. come the agreement, cold, fly the solutions to the conflict. that abraham has the latest we occupied, westbank. the resistance has proven its value. this is one of the chimes we've been hearing from palestinians here will have been protesting towards all the prisoners exchange. they say that is real. if it were up to the people of simeon prisoners, it is really deals. but those deals are able to release the palestinians from is really prison. i've spoken to one of the mother she was holding a picture of her to son. this is good news. without the deeds our sons would never be out of the answer to the only one that we've been seeing how they conditions are
4:47 pm
getting worse and worse side that palestinian prisoners are going to be open to waiting for the positives are expecting israel argument on garza, they believe that most chilling is going to happen, but this is a short break. they believe it's much needed for palestinians. they say that they've lost a lot that the world with helping them to reach a ceasefire. so they can only have themselves to rely on that. but i mean, i just need to talk, you find, what's the bags in walla has the law souls, pals, ologist. so it was not pos of the negotiations between high mice and israel on vision, monetary and pools and exchange of captives as well. all says they will abide by the truce as long as israel doesn't violate to speak to the whole the joins us live now from fire in southern evidence. so does that mean there's
4:48 pm
a good chance the situation of the south 11 and will remain calm during the days of the truce? of the well, there was no mention in the tech. so the choice agreements between israel and some of the 11 on israel porter, but it has full of source telling elsa 0 that would abide by that cease fire. that temporary truce if, if the is really army, does the same, the hezbollah source making it clear that the 11 on as well border has been a support front. that hasn't been the primary baffle. and that has the legs when this stuff goes to help it's ally from us in garza to relieve the pressure hezbollah source, also making it clear it wasn't involved in the negotiation. but at the end of the day has the law and from us have been coordinating whether militarily or politically. and just this morning, hezbollah media released a photo showing hezbollah secretary general has on this role assisting with
4:49 pm
visiting deputy head of him us her little a higher. so that in itself shows that there is coordination between these 2 allies, but has well, assuming it's ready to hire it as well. does this, this is zayna. we also know the foreign minnes, sylvie, ron is come to town once on this agenda. of the well, no doubts of the timing of his visit is quite significant. this is the 2nd time be around noon for administered visits, favorites and speeds, as well as war on calls have begun. approximately 7 weeks ago he came during the 1st week and from lebanon. he said that he warned that if, as well as a tax on garza continue, then the war could wide and then expand across the region. now his words, his statements in many ways of some sort of a declaration of victory if you like. he said that it will be the palestinian people who will decide their fate. he also called the be of assistance her role in her role with palestinian resistance and gaza,
4:50 pm
saying that it's not playing. and it's as well as have such as well as playing against time and that this is united states and as well, which has lost in this war. so defiant words from the around me and foreign minister who really has the so called access of resistance arm to groups across the regions who have been targeting various sizes for americans like iraq. so iran saying that it has a role. the very fact that he comes to be roots where, you know, it's main ally has the last a deputy leader from us also invading so a lot of symbolism there. and he runs message that, you know, this is he just really has a sub in this war and zayna as you're talking, we've got some live pictures up next to you just to point out to view as of what seems to be quite for me in 10 situation prevailing over gaza with a lot of plumes of smoke. we did see earlier exchanges between has belong the start
4:51 pm
of the army. how is the northern border of as well the southern border of 11 and looking very much still an active front line. the conflict has intensified in the past week or so. yes, very much could 5 to the border areas, kilometers on both sides of the border. but the conflict there has been an intensification. whether it's is the number of hezbollah attacks against this really military for border, whether it's as well responses error strikes. it carried out a series of error rates this morning. heavy artillery selling targeting, you know, the border areas. it's also become very dudley, yesterday as well. has been planned for deliberately kidding journalists to journalists, as well as the civilian who were in a border village, not the 1st time they've attacked in the south. also, an elderly woman was killed and is ready showing yesterday. so
4:52 pm
a very deadly and intense conflict, but still very much confined to the border area where i think so much st. ahold of that. all right, let's bring you in the spring, some breaking news and we've just heard that 25 pounds of students have been killed in an as early as strike that hit jabante a district that's in the north of golf. so we're also hearing about and these riley strikes on that off that's in the south of gaza and 5 palestinians killed the you can see the pictures. well, frankly, that i don't know. very comforting right now for guys a lot of smoke in the report saying 25000 indians killed and is ready as try come to value 5 killed in, strikes on that offer. bring you more as it as they comes in. let's bring it in. once again, no ha about the hub. she's
4:53 pm
a professor of international law at georgetown university and also a non resident fellow at the middle east council on global affairs. good to have you back with us. as i was saying, looking at those live pictures of pets, try and bring them off in a moment. it doesn't look too like israel is trying to intensify and make advances as much as it can in the find lauser for this truce kicks in. is that what's going on here? yes, i mean it's a caustic move right now. on the eve of the potential a ceasefire. is to attack as much as possible, re cause much destruction as possible. we saw a post indian children who were killed by his release traits earlier today as well . i think said, you know, the strategy here, if we can call it that, is because israel has been unable for many decades to break the will of post indians to resist its occupation. they are trying to kill, posted in bodies as much as they can. and it's also to instill fear and to try and sort of we can any sort of
4:54 pm
a potential resistance that could emerge after after the, after this current war. what is the game plan for where this goes? we understand there's a truce, but it's only going to be a few days. is right, 5 minutes. so said he's going to resume the wall and continue to try and destroy him. us. where does that go to ultimately? i mean it's, it's dragged on for how many days and weeks now let's try and find a sign of, of these res, coming any way close to achieving the minute 3 objectives of incoming a lot of palestinian civilians and obviously that so that has happened to yes, well, i mean, we have seen intensive, a talks happening, our meetings for mediation happening for the countries and the egyptians, and the americans. just to bring this forward, a cease fire into a solution. and i think we'll just continue to see more of those intensive efforts
4:55 pm
to extend and renew the currencies fire. i think that, you know, the role of the united states is particularly important here, as israel's most powerful ally. and the pressure needs to continue on the united states government to push israel to stop the bombing, to put a definitive end to the war so that they can then come to a political solution to the current crisis. i think there have been, you know, there have been efforts, domestic efforts in the united states by lawyers sort of, um, to call the government out on it's complicity and in aiding and abetting. israel's war on goes us through military a, through political support. and so those are very important efforts as well to apply pressure on the by the end of ministration. and where do you think ultimately the global situation is evolving? outside, of course of the us we've seen delegations from arab and muslim countries going to china. yes. well, as, as we have been seeing today,
4:56 pm
the conflict is sort of becoming a bit more regional in the sense that of course there's the, the northern front and southern left and on the who sees the actions with the, with the is really owned ships. um, and so this sort of there's, there's a very real concern of the, the war on cause that is going to expand more and more into the, into the border region. and so i think that some, hopefully there will be efforts whether by china or other actors um to try and sort of contain the situation and ultimately and ideally bring a permanency supplier. but does anybody have that? is it really ultimately down to the us? now? i think so, i think that the united states is israel's most powerful ally. and so long as the united states has been supporting israel and its political statements and its military aides. and there's no reason really for israel to stop does the us really
4:57 pm
want to see these, but 3 operations continue, does it? is that your reading of the, by mid ministration? i mean, i think that's, it depends on the how the pressure, the domestic political pressure on the bite and then the ministration times out in the next little while. i think that the, the whole counsellor terrorism narrative uh is, is what's keeping the united states sort of the, you know, and on the same page as, as israel and the way that has been managing this for. but again, i think that's a that could and should change as long as the political pressure is getting momentum in the united states. i mean, i think that the polls have shown that biden's support for violent as is been his foreign policy, especially as the clinic and the united states. all right, no, thank you so much for coming in and sharing your thoughts and analysis on this hello tab. bring you back to those live pictures of a very difficult situation prevailing over the sky line in gaza as people await
4:58 pm
what they hope will be some good news and the implementation of a truce back until the yeah. the 1st i that's what are you home, feels like a prison. his house is in the occupied westbank village of bid. it was built decades before this illegal israeli settlement began imposing harsh new reality. first, encroaching on his farm land, then completely in circling what his family sees as haven. this gate was installed in 2008 and for a while members of a family have to wait for hours at a time in order to get permission from soldiers to leave or return to their own home. elizabeth had an endo holder guard post manned by settlers. they tried to prevent anyone from getting into the house. they tried to prevent the kids from playing into frontier. and it's really court eventually gave that
4:59 pm
a family constant access to this court door. but after it's real launched, it's war on gaza. the family has been told that their access once again be taken away. israel has now imposed a complete fees on god's act. so how do they survive? if you have no income, how do you live? cost of living rose sharply after the war and ukraine could something like that happen again as a ripple effect of 2000. and one is it us contract is mainly who are benefiting from this. when the price of oil goes up, the costs of almost every thing goes up. counting the costs on out. is there the, the colleges
5:00 pm
with the concerns of full days. this ation of hostilities between hamas and israel in gaza. ceasefire expected to stop thursday morning. the on saturdays i them, this is out just a live from dell hall. so coming up out of city and women and children detained in this way, the prisons we exchanged as part of the deal. that's how i'm asked for. this is riley captive held in garza.
