the just on believable because the situation had never got more than just kind of a whatever to what's your problem, you know, and then his dad and it just didn't make any sense how it escalated that quickly. the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, i'm a fuck or this is a news i live from the coming up in the next 60 minutes. and the rocky release is this video claiming and attack that is to us. so we'll just, let's see, we have children folder forced to flee. yes. again, palestinians leave calling you this in southern gaza was as or as

a tax get more intense. united nation says freeze in funding for its agency, for palestinian refugees means many more people in gaza will tie the west african regional block eco asked as delta may just sent back up to vicki to foster molly and these yeah. announced that to puncture the right. we begin with some breaking news of the us ministry says 3 of its soldiers have been killed and 25 injured in a drone attack on an american base, the jordanian syrian border. so to full a now being monitored for possible traumatic brain injuries. when he was present a bite and said, the attack happens in north east jordan close to the syrian border that i suggest to the happened to the tower 22, which is being used as a shelter for many display syrians. jordan has supervisors and cooperation with
10:02 pm
american forces and the rocky militia boxed by a run has claimed to launch the attack on the jordan syrian border, the stomach resistance of the wrong release. this video, which is shows the drone launched the killed at least 3 us soldiers in the statements. they said, continuing our approach to resisting the american occupation forces and the rock and the region and in response to the mass. cuz by the design, this entity against all people in gaza, the assignment resistance fights is in a rock and tank don't on sunday, by drones for and to be basis 3 of which are in syria and the 4th inside occupied palestinian territory. we'll get, let's get the latest now from baghdad and my mood of the why the joins us from the
10:03 pm
rocky capital. my mate, what more do we know about this kind of responsibility? the, the, well, this is the, is lennox resistance in iraq. an umbrella to med, that includes that you're walking out of the groups affiliated, where they are on or a line aligned with groups. and they have, as usual claimed responsibility for the recent attacks in syria and in the border between syria and the jordan. now these automotive groups say that they blamed the united states for standing as a major back out of as what i have submitted. see a campaign on the gods and they set in to escalate that tax until it either stops to support thing is read submitted to complain on as i said, they also say that the have another major demand in order to stop these attacks.
10:04 pm
that's the old coalition, including us troops leave iraq as soon as possible. now, these at techs have sort of past 100 and service 70 attacks according to these, a groups based on the crystals in iraq since october the 17th sense, as they say, the us has given green light to is ready to start. it's not doing cogent of guys that on october the 17th and such attacks, we used to witness it, count that attacks by us 8 is twice targeting at this time because this is a groups a locations, minutes the locations in the iraq king. and one thing, a number of them, so that may be the united states will retaliate. this could be seen in the coming if you followed has probably days it's remains to be seen made of course the timing of this is very interesting indeed because this happened just a day off to iraq on the us. how those are all important tools. so about the future
10:05 pm
of american military presence in the country. so a lot of tension already around getting american troops out of the country. i would definitely anybody if you talk to these ultimate groups, they will tell you that they don't buy that. they don't trust the, the, the stuff they dropped, the trust neither side the rocky or the you estimate it's the officials because as they say, they have not set a certain time to you. but for the dual, especially with the fact that the united states it indicating that it will evaluate the situation on the ground and see if i so is not posing a threat anymore in the region. and also, if there is no threat to us interests and the huge, as you know that the presence of the minutes, the, a groups of the, of the troops will do us and coalition forces any lock has been switch it from combat to only advisory,
10:06 pm
it will since december of 2021. but yet, it, these, the presence of these a troops, us, and coalition troops in iraq is not, will come by many here in new york, especially those 8 on a line to a groups. we have been targeting at the locations us and coalition forces ministry facilities in iraq and syria. since october, the disability was drones. and with the mission was in some cases using a ballistic missiles like that. what, what happened in the attack when i said ministry based in november, so that the minutes, the limited state committee by us, any lucky minutes, the officials is under way. but yet, at these alma groups say that the does not guarantee the kind of guarantee that the united states will come up with these folks and say that it has taken a decision to leave iraq. the biggest feed is that's up sort of months from now.
10:07 pm
the us will come and say the situation on the ground does not allow any was do it from the agent, the mood. i'll go ahead and buy dad. nice things. all right, let's cross now to wrestle said the who's following developments for us to enter on a russell, what's the latest you were hearing the in the ready and capital any more around position on this specific attack as well. complete silence here in to around. so for that hasn't been a new official reaction. no official statements really is by the running officials here have a when it comes to such attacks you run have repeatedly, was repeatedly stated about its position. he says that these attacks that are being conducted on, on american basis is not related to your ron. and you're going to see is that it has the allies that goes to region, but these are not running proxies. they are separate and independent entities and
10:08 pm
they make data assessment based on their own calculations. so they all told them was entities, any run is nothing bullying, planning or contacting does effects. and i'll show you where our names are saying that the israel is, is coming from the genocide in gaza and that is happening by the american support. so america is complicit in this genocide. and the excess of the resistance being to region is reacting to the american being complicit in this genocide. that is the running position so far. but just to give a timeline of these escalation keys for task policy, we have seen that so far it has been more than 100. 17 attacks on the american basis in syria, india rock them across the region. but you run for far especially hasn't really come in any responsibility about any of these attacks, but particularly between israel and iran that has been attacks. so we have seen
10:09 pm
them on december 5th, the 25th of israel conducted that are nice, right? even so you're, you're sitting capital, damascus, and killed rossi, most city who was one of the top ribbon do you don't even really should have got general. and then we have seen that would be 2 suicide attacks be conducted, the individual kill them on iran. you run accused or i so being behind is that textbook the come on, but if you need to run is that is read was somehow involved in that time. you have storms, you run has attacked the bees. united. been saying that it was run by most august and also last and besides, you can see here yet in pakistan, the initial will. so in showing his muscles that show in the capacity or is the tours. but we do not know whether now that effect that happened in jordan. see, is that a response to this increase in his ready attacks or not as there is no official statement from your annual fee shows. as of now and russel, of course, an attack of this severity that slide to the death of these us uh,
10:10 pm
service personnel. of course it raises by most of the prospect or why the escalation, but how concerned is it wrong about why the war now? it's quite clever, she is that you run doesn't want original more doesn't want to work to go beyond garza and turn into original conflicts because one knows that a direct, communicative confrontation with israel. me is a 30 minute to the confrontation with the united states of america. which will have great call sectors and that's why we have seen that the, you run, your response is quite measured and it is being conducted through its allies for what your, your uncles, the access for the resistance. then there is a grow mean that these contact them on your end names here. they believe that they have companies, responses not that create and will not detroit is ran from a tech and you run it as a standard run across the region. but you run through the years have doubled an
10:11 pm
excess of tremendous proxies across the region and you run the response usually comes through this, this process. but there is an expectation in the around that is right is not going to stop in gaza. the war might expand beyond the borders of guys that and that's why you're running more and more investing in this process to build a determines capability, russel manufacturer, the rest of the set of following developments for us there into ron, was costs to us now. and oliver fisher and washington dc and on and once more is being said about the scale and the severity of this attack. well, clearly the use world just a couple of hours ago. it came from a statement from the white house to bite and was informed of what had happened alley on sunday morning in south carolina, where he's on the campaign trail. he was brief by lloyd dawson, the defense secretary, and also jake sullivan, who's the national security advisor at that point. there were 3 dad and a number injured. that number has fluctuated slightly, initially from 25,
10:12 pm
then up to 72. we're not told suck, to have been injured. a number of them have be made it back to be area to more advanced hospital facilities. that would suggest that some of the injuries may be quite serious. traumatic brain injury will also be something that they check for joe biden. a put out a statement from the white house on behalf of him and his wife jill. he said that uh, these warriors, these service members embodied the very best of a nation on wave, putting in their bravery, unflinching, and their duty unbending and their commitment to a country risking their own safety for the safety of their fellow americans under allies and partners with whom we stand in the fight against terrorism. if there's a fight, we will not cease. he also said that they will choose to respond at a time and the manner of their choosing, which suggests that there will be some sort of retaliation that certainly the tone that we're getting from a number of members of congress. couple of senators just in the last hour or so.
10:13 pm
i've sent out on social media, they have used john coffin in the san antonio, texas. i said that he wants to see them target to ron lindsey graham, close ally of donald trump. he has been saying, hit a run and hit them hard. mike johnson, who is the speaker of the house of other republican member, he said, america must send a clear message or the tax or the troops will not be tolerated. so you can see that there has been a 150 or so attacks on american positions in the middle east. since october 17th. there is clear and the use of the 1st desk, the 1st to be taught with these that have been recorded. number of injuries, but the fox to be taught to use that have been recorded and the attack of this kind, the official is potentially of what should moment and this conflict a lot for us there in washington dc. many things i kind of would like to bring and treat the policy you is the executive vice president of the quincy institute, a think tank based in washington dc, joins us from arrest and in virginia, a very well welcome to you. so as we heard that from our colleague island fisher
10:14 pm
has a friday, has been a substantial number of attacks approaching a 170 attacks on us and coalition forces in iraq. i'm serial, most of which i'm not course, serious injury or any damage to serious damage to infrastructure. it seems only a matter of time now to see an attack would inflict serious damage out of critical loss of life for us forces. absolutely, i mean, we gotta do that is actually out of pure law that there hasn't been more fatalities . i mean, it was a major attack on october 26 in m. bailey bach out of your law made sure that that the drawing actually didn't explode. but we could have had numerous tests already back, but i think it's also very important to know that they were 0 way past due in the 6 days, november 24th, the 30th when there was a ceasefire in costa. and it raises the question by, by to, is willing to risk the lives of american servicemen and women for the sake of
10:15 pm
allowing israel to continue its cottage and garza, that's not a us interest. in fact, the cottage in gaza is increasingly clear. now it is posing a stretch to us interest because we're seeing how it's threatening to us and the resi we're seeing the cars are kind of these now on the syrian border. there may be a war between israel and nothing on as well. and of course down the line, a new new church prices with you on room, direct confrontation between the us fighting is not pursuing us. and just by allowing this to continue, if you really wants to end and protect us, choose that needs to be the escalation and the escalation, the dns, or the csr and boss, the photos to us. so calibrate any response now without escalating it, because of course, will be seen as a, a foreign policy defeat, if this spills out a whole control surely, but this is the direction that by and has gone in every retardation, tactics the, comes across as legitimate mindful of what the other side did, when you take
10:16 pm
a look at the situation and actually get over the course to 3 months, we actually heading towards major compensation and he has not yet done anything. the escalate told me that f words that they were very likely the retirement which uh by the united states at this point depending on his size and where he is targeting. so for instance, if he decides to go by that recommendation and pressure of not, not i'm afraid to, we seem to have lost our sound with the, i guess that treat to policy. but so let's move on with my on the shower and i'll just hear a senior political analyst. he joins us here in the, in the studio mall why we unfortunately lost the treat, the policy, the but he was talking at length about the implications for the united states going forward. so it has been very, very interesting timing, given that the us was in the midst of these negotiations in iraq to reduce the true
10:17 pm
numbers. we know for some time the pivot as being for the us to shift to the pacific as opposed to, to the middle east. what now presumably when by then 1st came in, who said the emphasis are going to be about 10 things or forever wars. and that's why you would do a lot of dentist and, and emphasize the greek of geopolitical challenges, which are russia and china. the same time his minions and administrations like by gods and others said that america is read, the plain got of i've got to stand to the rest of them at least and later on by that himself said, we are back in them. at least we're not going to leave the middle east. we're not going to the vacuum. and i'm at least for china, russia and you're on to feel right. so it's a bit of a contradiction. and that contradiction is really catching up with the, by the administration. because getting involved in them,
10:18 pm
at least is not free of charge, as we notice with time standing behind that then the all the way by doing that meaning boxing himself behind nothing you know, has consequences on the corner. consequences are little confrontations here and there are escalating and young men and syria, your walk, and other places. it's kind of, you know, bigots, the, the logic of why does the, by the administration wants to america to be bucked down in the region today, whereby they are so many failed states. so many failed wars for the united states. the penny always says no to the united states. so did have you as basically candidates back on the united states, iraq once it's out of its country, right, and so on, so forth. so one wonders what is by then doing, you know, boxing himself behind the now and preparing for more the time, the ition in the region where it's clearly quick send for them. i can force the
10:19 pm
photo ask you about. so what is the radiance of been saying so far uh, corresponded into around russell said, uh, basically suggested that around is that these are proxies that are acting autonomously independently of us. they may be on a wider scale. so rainy impact inadvertent comments. but the right thing, all the road, what do you think of those claims? i think even the united states recognize them to some degree that those proxies are backed, but not necessarily directed in each and every account or attack against american forces that really forces or what have you. i'm sure the to us to somebody between right, but clearly iran is comfortable laying back and watching this thing escalate on its own. because some of these groups, notably in palestine and 11 on, but also in iraq and syria and elsewhere. so yeah, men, especially, they have uh no reason for the of the,
10:20 pm
of their own of why they want to get involved in these questions. it's not for remote controlled, right? it's something similar to when we talk about why is right accept that when we talk about these values on say us back is rise, right? we say you're on back toast, these, but we don't say us back is right, even though is right, is back far more than any other country or grew up in them at least by the united states. and yet i would say the following is there is a buzz act uh, you know, rather extensively in the region, not necessarily taking orders from the united states. or i might one day, many thanks a lot, mind massages or a senior political analyst. well, let's go back to a, treat a policy, just remind you use the executive vice president of the quints, the institute of think taking place in washington dc. uh, try to just before we lost you, i was asking you about how exactly the us kind of rates it's response. because clearly it's being given a little choice,
10:21 pm
given domestic pressure in united states to do anything but respond. but at the same time, it doesn't want to risk a wider damaging, protracted coffee i certainly believe that the administration doesn't want to have that conflict. yeah, everything it does so far has brought us closer to construct. it's been reacting, tactic me to the stock of a tax, not recognizing that this project to read all of those tactical steps put us to us on is towards the larger for in this specific case. if it were tommy, it's against the munitions and it is somewhat of proportion. i don't think that that necessarily wouldn't be to further explanation. however, if the timing issue comes and there still isn't, if he's firing, call at that, then i feel that these attacks against us troops will continue if by then chooses to go by the recommendation of some of these republican lawmakers who incidentally predict, indicates a certain lindsey granite has been pushing one would be involved with the last 20
10:22 pm
years, well and, and as a result of a bite and it shows us to attack directly against the law. then we're going to see a major, major escalation. and again, the issue here is that fighting has not been acting on what is strategically necessary, but instead has been taking a bunch of tactical steps that they did not themselves may appear as being justified for their supporting the us on a trajectory to which one what do you think around long term tactical steps then in response of course, the assignment resistance in iraq that is claimed responsibility for instance attacks a it's all about the gauze and protecting the civilians and gaza and sending a message to israel and the united states. but they're still an underlying long term goal, and i am here for that group. all the groups i did data run what is the case of the bond, the broader longer term objective that they have is to make sure that the united states see just to have a significant another true trojans in the region,
10:23 pm
particularly surround the rock with troops and syria and evolved early of on, of course, you know, honest on it as well for these various munitions and some are one correctly pointed out, they have other interest. they're largely aligned with the volume, but they're not entirely foxy's, and they can act on their own. and the contradictions the bonds interest as well with this one is a contradiction to what the vanya is one or not remains to be seen. or i to treat a policy as being a really important to hear your thoughts and all of that money. thanks of the right. let's take it. it goes and now with thousands of palestinians are fleeing con eunice and making their way for the south. is there any troops advance most of cause? this population is crammed into an area. the southernmost tip of the goal is this trip trapped between the sea and the egyptian border. they have nowhere else to go
10:24 pm
. michael apple as more told again to flee. these displays, palestinians say they were forced to abandon the 1st attempt to leave hon eunice when he's ready for his open fire in the area military, flyers had ordered them to go to a rough ha. so they're heading south, but no full. well, there's no guarantee they will be safe, the but we have to move thing in the rain and cold with 13 other people. most of them are children. look at this child is this was nothing you all who want. we all civilians with no involvement in the will. we want to eat, drink and have some way to shelter the on to even 10 say that recently established is really check points on the road. south palestinians face possible detention as well as abuse and humiliation. they say you have a new not is unsure of his son's face. again, i'm on the floor that's low. i go back and forth every 2 hours to check on. my son
10:25 pm
did nothing now. why did they arrest? and they tell us to leave. so they can arrest the sons who will take responsibility for this. once in rough, a desperate situation awaits at least one point. 7000000 palestinians have been displaced during the war by the by is really evacuation orders or it's related to this bombing campaign. now, most of them all here in rough. the u. n. is described israel mass evacuation or is this chaotic and then effective? thousands of palestinians are sleeping in tens if they can find one of the young one. if i spend 3 days walking on the streets and when i arrive, i couldn't find shelter, no tense. i couldn't find anything that i spent the night on the street in the ring ring without shelter. i have orphans with me. children who don't have a father or mother, she is fighting, is forced them to the southern most tip of the gaza strip. beyond those walls lies
10:26 pm
egypt. and to the east, the mediterranean sea. there is no way left to go. but despite that many remain defiant, don't harmless, is it hot? i missed our country even if to and we won't return to our homes. and if they are destroyed, we will live in attend, terrified, employment sized palestinians are being pushed into ever smaller pockets of land facing in dignity and humiliation. every step of the way mike level, which is era or let's go to all the latest now with terra covers. the room is in rafa in southern gaza and tarik. we of course, have been reporting in the past 24 hours about a roof pick whether across a gauze the strip. but of course, all of that continues to be compounded by more attacks as well. what more can you tell us? i guess that's completely wrong to the past 2 hours,
10:27 pm
but completely critical then which intensified most diverse really strikes of course different areas in kansas city alongside the middle governance and also in the southern pause where in a shop the refugee compton palestinians, at least with those and others being injured as the main central neighborhoods that have been on the mass is very bombardment within the past hour. but i've been saying that the situation in these areas have witnessed more deterioration within the past few hours as they use with the tech stuff. do not stop simply on the and also open us are neighborhoods along side also with a ship for the one complex where those areas had been widely attacked in the past hour where people had been transported to or she felt hospice of that is a limited late right now of a rating alongside with ongoing bombardment as well with me how i read them and intensity on i'm gonna say rocks refuge account wherever residential building has
10:28 pm
had been completely flattened. we're at least 20 palestinians that being killed till now. now the situation also continued to be very dia in the city of claudio and a square button, and as well, had continued within the past hour, different residential buildings and neighborhoods had been completely destroyed. and we have been also seeing gun for forcing today that evacuation waves have been issued for the majority of people. and they have been transformed to roughly district. but they have been completely abused and he related, as they have been for us to go through the military to points that had been set up by these very military who are stationed on different areas being called you and a city people have been reporting that incomplete or rustic seems to have been going through it's unrelated to bombing that is an update that is completely unfolding them. the and tara co concerns also crying about the decision by at least 11 countries now to pull out to financially supporting the u. n. agency for policy and refugees,
10:29 pm
otherwise known as unwrapped. obviously that organization has been the lifeline and governors have for many, many years now. what does it mean for how the organization functions for this to be happening? that means a catastrophe for palestinians as they are completely new right now depending on the age of provided by owner what here in the territory now it's the only i'm so organizations that is completely operating on the ground and they are receiving all the humanitarian supplied supplies. being uh, getting a being delivered throughout pro 5, crossing into garza now with the suspension that had been made by different states across the globe in terms of the financial support for the uh united nation relieves and works in john c here and gauze with the situation for palestinians with the coming days and weeks might be very tough contests. traffic as the there are the suspension of these,
10:30 pm
the financial support will completely cost shuttle negatively on the ability. busy the owner watch operates in in the territory, which means that hundreds of thousands of palestinians once be able to receive humanitarian supplies. and that to the ongoing is very offensive. of course, the territory you are talking about hundreds of united nation run filters are backed into with a completely evacuees that are more hot water. that is $700000.00 palestinians are taking show to inside. and those people are receiving the services by the united by the united nations, which means that there were no any other services will provide with them if they're suspend. older operations inside goals are due to the finance, the price is the mike going through. right tarik, many sites for the updates, how it covers him in rough for the of the year. and 60 general, i'm trying to get tires as a po to countries which have suspended that funding for the u. n. agency for the palestinian refugee used to at least guarantee the continuity over. so preparations
10:31 pm
us state departments has said 12 on the employees were reporting the involved and they'll tell you, but the 7th attacked by him. us from 1010 countries. now 11 to suspend funding. guitar says any you and employee involved in acts of terror will be held accountable. he also said 9 of the 12 accused unrest offers of now being $51.00 is confirmed that the statement says without the funding, more people in gaza will dive well. this is the 1st time you an agency is face threat sofa comes to funding like so. as i move, which takes a look at its work and the many challenges and faces for millions of palestinians and gaza. the primary to do an agency on right is simply a lifeline. the depend on his for health care, social services in jobs. especially now 2 months of israel's war on the territory. but threats of funding cuts could worse and then over the dyer
10:32 pm
humanitarian situation. established in 9049 under was the mission was to provide relief to palestinians who lost their homes by the creation of the state of israel, nearly 6000000 palestinians in gaza. the occupied westbank, syria, and jordan rely on the 8 provided by the un agency. with approximately 30000 staff on was reduced funding, could impact food aid, health care, and other critical services across the middle east of israel has called for the suspension of unrest, operations accusing you'd of supporting what he calls terrorism. i gotcha donald, i mean from our main goal in the goal is to eliminate the threat not just neutralize it because we know how to eliminate terrace, but it's hard up with an idea of unreal represents that idea of reading multiracial him through various means. if we cannot win this will without dismantling, unless you meet with the agency has previously faced similar threats in 2018. he
10:33 pm
was president donald trump, with through more than $300000000.00 in funding, raising concerns about political motives. the us decision was not about one risk performance. it was about the pressure on the palestinian leadership, and that's a form of politicizing, of humanitarian funding. that should be absolutely avoided in our view. on raw has also been under pressure because of its role in the debate on the palestinian right of return. the agency recognizes old palestinians displaced from 94 to 7 and 9048 and their descendants as refugees who have demanded to return to their homes. a stance. israel has a post is rarely officials argued that dismantling unreal would remove directly to issue from discussions. one way we're going to try and once the henri is an organization that perpetuates the palestinian refugee problem, it also perpetuates the right of return for palestinian refugees narrative in order to eliminate the state of israel. therefore, unreal must become
10:34 pm
a thing of the past due when is investigating 12 unrest, staff who have been accused of involvement to deal tobar 7 attacks by how most insulting is row 9 of them had been fired and one is confirmed that to buy the 12th step only account for a fraction of unrest, entire $30000.00 workforce. do you, when agency says it remains committed to transparency, noting no prior concerns about its steps, conduct axles, i'm, which will just sera ok. so i had here when i would just say around the boyfriends of go, so we'll take a closer look what happens to the 25000 children of last parents the had the,

10:39 pm
by loans newspaper in front. so i'm posting use, describe the practice, a state sponsor corruption, and a pointing to israel and egypt which both controlled across the same bus for avi has more rough. i've border the only crossing between garza and egypt, a lifeline for palestinians, even before the war. a connection to the outside world, an entry points from vital resources. since israel imposed a total siege last year, it's become the only way out of gaza. but even at the border between 2 air of states, safe passage comes at a price. the findings from an independent investigation published by the french news outlet limone show egyptians pay between $650.00 and $1200.00 for an exit permit. other nationalities pay around $3000.00. but palestinians have been charged anything from $4500.00 to $10000.00. similar findings published in the
10:40 pm
guardian newspaper earlier this month suggest this has been a common practice at the rough of crossing for years. but it used to be $500.00 per person. prices have searched since october, the so called travel agencies act as brokers at the board, palestinian say everyone involved gets a cut, including egyptian and is really government officials. the payments don't guarantee anything. some have lost everything and scans. egypt says the allegations are baseless. the roof of crossing is operated by egypt, but israel maintains overall control of all people and goods going in and out. even before the war, the un criticize both sides for a lack of transparency. while is real henders efforts to get humanitarian data into ghost egypt as long resisted opening the border fearing an influx of palestinians. and although egypt is a vocal critic of israel and is calling for
10:41 pm
a cease fire observer, say it could do more to relax controls at the gods a border where seeking sanctuary seemingly become a lucrative business for war profiteers. same bus robbie. oh, just here. while i was bringing sar carries the founder and director of european north african center for research. she joins us from colorado, 51. welcome to you. so we have these 2 claims, 2 newspapers, the newspaper in front of obviously the you guys got a newspaper claiming that there is this network of brokers and travel agents linked to egyptian intelligence service is southern permits to exit gaza app, extraordinary prices. what do you make of these claims as well? we here in egypt believe that this is a scam room. where's the best part of that is re lease me or propaganda campaign against egypt to pressure egypt to let a more bow
10:42 pm
a senior and in or to let the nearly to many in public opinions on almost our borders in sign i and as range of things by that it's problem is over and, and actually it can be any logic and it can be any true because it doesn't come from organizations that are operating on the ground. and you just doesn't have, it's obvious, but each of doesn't have any problem was receiving refugees. and but it's really different than the listing in case, especially that approvals to get the things. and it's only for medical purposes so far because egypt believes if it, let's influx of the palestinians. and as the research fees or those hopefully complex that by that it would have to be sort of being the palestinian pose. because we know that the is there any intention behind that is to expand its presence into more guys under the plea of
10:43 pm
a its fight against permit so wrong that we do have a drops right? yes sir, let me get this clear. so you think this is all a smear campaign to discredit the the chip tional star sees to try and gain more leverage to allow causes into egypt. is that right? that yes, especially that there has been a lot of statements that is red, wants to invade the philadelphia axes, that's a red line for egypt. and there has been told that is where it is not permitted. the egypt doesn't allow them to enter the philadelphia axes. and the plea that they want to enter that axis, which is under the age of central authority to bypass. and we know that there is an intention behind the scenes until agent if this isn't data, she is you say a smear campaign. i wonder why the united nations has dating back before the october. the 7th attacks repeatedly accused both israel and egypt of
10:44 pm
a complete lack of transparency with activities on the border in and around roughly a yes, special because the whole story the that sold the into the rough crossing is, is really a very is a full, bumps are under a lot of security measures, like for instance, approve of goes through 3 intelligence entities, the g i s the military intelligence and the national security. so it's not that easy to get into that borders. now, after the 7th of october, egypt has been pushing to let that you know a terry and 8 and to let that the thing is to be on their lands and continue the fighting for the rights under that it could patient, these are a good patient and there are also other measures that has been taken that we have managed to let the water into the people we, we do have many and about 2,
10:45 pm
almost 2000000 millions on our board. that's if we let everyone and is there a well, just feel free to expand on the guidelines and, and take the policy and lens and i don't think the thing is long to leave the lens this, this one we're talking bay for just talking. i don't think it's reliable because their part is talking about, well, some of dollars and i don't think that the thing is have the amount of dollars even if they want to play a this kind of a conflict, right. i'm sorry for the insurance. i referred last question to you, given that there all these claims made by these 2 prominent international newspapers with the additional authority is pretty prepared to provide their own evidence that this is not the case. of course, we will lose today. in today's world, there is nothing to be headed. if the thing is we're into sinai, we would have probably seen something on social media, but it's overburdened long as right now. and i think this is so huge. it's again
10:46 pm
this region and it is security. and again, as a national security, i don't think it's that easy to get into the pointers. or i'm sorry, kyra founder and director of european north african center for research. thanks for joining us. now talks in paris with the head of the c i. a and officials from israel, a cost of an egypt and a brokering a captive deal between israel and the mass. i mean, to find as constructive a statement from the state department as to benjamin netanyahu, whose office says that the intelligence summit was meaningful. but the gaps still remains. it also says the parties will continue discussions this week. let's go to life now to i'm going to jump juniors in tel aviv. uh so how did these powers talks apparently constructive? what sort of impression are we getting from israel about what is real big, maybe prepared to offer a what is expected? so need the statement that we've heard that you just mentioned from the prime minister's office just about an hour ago. this is certainly expressing
10:47 pm
a tone of more cautious optimism that is, in contrast with the kind of statements that we've heard, primarily from anonymous as really government officials quoted throughout is railing media outlets. in the last couple of days, they have continued to say that they did not believe that anything could happen quickly that there were significant gaps. now while this statement that you mentioned from nothing, yahoo did say that there were still significant gaps. it also said so the parties will continue to discuss all of this this week and additional mutual meetings. so clearly it indicates that there is momentum now to try to iron out these sticking points and try to reach a deal. that's a contrast to what we were hearing earlier, which sounded more negative. now, one of the reasons this is also complicated is because even though there is this initiative to try to effect some kind of cessation of hostilities, there's still a lot of questions about how long a potential stays in the possibilities would last. we see some media outlets here
10:48 pm
for this really official saying it would be 30 days. other saying it could be up to 2 months. beyond that you have the fact that nothing yahoo is under a lot of pressure from a lot of different factions throughout israel. you have families of captives being held in gaza that are saying the government needs to be doing a lot more to try to secure the release of those captives. there had been more and more rallies over the course of the last few months, demanding that of the government. you also have members of these really war cabinets that are openly questioning. if nothing, yahoo is doing enough to secure the release of those capt is beyond that. you also have far right wing, members of his government who have been saying that they are concerned that if a deal is reached, it would not be a good deal. and to that end, just this evening in jerusalem, you had a meeting, a conference of sorts that was held in order to call for the resettlement of gaza. this meeting was attended by 12 members of parliament,
10:49 pm
including the finance minister at best law, smart ridge and national security minister. if martin give here 2 of the most far right. we mean members of netanyahu's government. so there's a lot going on in israel right now. there's a lot of questions as to whether or not, if there is another cease fire, whether that would constitute perhaps, and into the war. and that's in yahoo continues to insist that there will not be an into the war until how much is completely eliminated. so there are a lot of factors, some of them at odds with each other. i'm sure we'll be hearing more in the days ahead. but right now, out of this meeting in paris this evening, a sign of cautious optimism from the israeli officials and mark contrast to statements we've been hearing these past few days. mohammed, i'm not sure whether or not israel has had a chance to respond to these news. of course, of these fatal attacks on us surface personnel. how's that been any kind of reaction to tool. i'm telling me, sneed, there's been no response as of yet,
10:50 pm
and we don't expect that there will be any kind of official response usually in matters of this nature. these re lease tend to go quiet, but what would be expected is that perhaps far right wing, members of the government might make statements to the extent saying something along the lines of this proves yet again. if the, if the us to saying that iran back groups are attacking the us and the region that disapproves in the eyes of israelis, that gets iran. that's the problem in the region. and you might expect to hear perhaps far right wing is really official saying something to the effect that america shouldn't be putting pressure on israel to end the war and gaza. they should be more directly confronting e ron. that's what we think we might hear in the day is going forward. but as of yet this evening, nothing from the israeli government about those attacks about the, about those 3 americans service members that were killed. but we, we must remember that since the start of the war on gaza,
10:51 pm
you've had many instances of officials in israel, essentially directly blaming iran for supporting how mass for all these years. and for funding from us. and they say that iran is also, of course, funding and supporting his bottom line. and they say that iran is funding and supporting the who with these and young and the as really is continue to say that they are engaged in a multi front battle right now. and they have directly, blaine, the ron on this for you know, many months. right? and if i'm a jump drive and tennessee from any science, so then in addition to the thousands of killed and wounded children, the war and gaza is left to the boss. number of orphans, according to a report by the year a mediterranean human rights observatory, women, $25000.00 children have now lost one or both parents in gaza. i beg your thoughts. the marks on her face remind 16 percent of the day the father was killed. a one of minutes she was at home with a family and the next she woke up in hospital while mobile,
10:52 pm
but it had remained highly of some. i didn't swear to very kind to me during the day because they were both kid. i did not have the chance to say good bye to my father, but they did to my mother. it's a big shock to me, and i am now negative with neither of them while others have lost vis passes left to provide for the children on their own or my husband had nothing to do with the resistance. that's the reason politic. he was killed on his way to try and get some flower to feed our children. they were starving for days. he was everything to us at all. he was the cornerstone of our lives. he was the one who brought a smile to our home and sunshine. i can't imagine how we will go back home without him. 9 year old was homeless, which by me side. then my mother was killed and fell on my little brother's lap. she kept screaming, unaware of what to do, that we both witnessed on love it getting killed. she was the joy of our life. she always hurt the wood and i missed her too much. i am sad and feel lost without you
