from the mileage and because we're seeing evidence of the flags, the waves marking as far to the palestinian organization move on to college stadium sized himself. i think i've seen at least one for the green flag of thomas. and this is something the is really security courses or absolutely determined should not happen that there should be no 5 way given waiving there should be no celebration amongst palestinians all the lives of these prisoners. that's right, and it's not just this prisoner release. it's actually all the prisoner releases we've seen within the last couple of weeks is really authority saying that they want to suppress any sort of expressions of policy and you enjoy any celebratory moments and even going so far as a drop hansel is via drones across the occupied west bank telling palestinians not to carry flags of the palestinian factions not to engage in large crowds when the prisoners are released and not to essentially show any signs of celebration and

warning them that they would be found and they would be arrested. these really military confirmed that they carried out what they called pre emptive arrests for people who they thought were going to be celebrating. these really army also requested different measures this time around. they requested from the red cross for the windows of these coats, buses that were driving through the occupied westbank to be blacked out completely 100 percent tinted. so that palestinians could quote, not to showcase any signs of victory or weight to the crowds as they're making their way through between. yeah, and the are among low. so these really present service has been quite clear about what they wanted to do is really forces have been firing outside of the open military prison. a trying to deter family members of palestinian prisoners who had been gathering their anxiously awaiting their release. and i understand that um the

israel's military spokesman victory of daniel fargo has the speaking in the last half auto. so i believe you being a cost that was even saying the well, the annual gary has spoken about to be captives released. that took place in guns that today specifically in the falling units, the release of our bill, your food, and actually what he said is basically mirroring the statement and these really prime minister that we've just received within the last hour or so both of them say that they do not want to see these types of crowds, when the captains are being releasing the, the massive number of people around the captive. well, she was being released jose quote for rent and danger to her life. and they want to see not that exactly the opposite of that. they want to see the captain's release just handed over to the red cross. they don't want to see any crowds, they don't want to see the gathering. so there's a little bit of parallels here to what you're seeing within the occupied west bank and gaza. israel now trying to control the mechanism and way in which is really

captive or being releasing that. it's now part of the deal and that they will quote, not violate and not quote, accept any sort of violations of this deal. rather saying that they have done assurances from mediators that this is not going to happen and they're not going to tolerate it. if it happens again, going onto war and that those who harm the captives will be harmed by the state of israel. so it's a little bit unclear exactly what's gonna happen because there is going to be a captain's or at least just in a couple of these time on saturday. i was talking to mom on the shot are obviously the senior political correspondent just a moment ago about the fact that thomas has chosen today to announce the fight. have confirmed the fact that it's military leader mohammed dave has been killed as well as deputy military command up my one a said that was we understand that i'm a dave died in july. my one is has been killed previously. i'm not sure what date as that happens and given the fact that them in the ball one advisor,

he was saying that the, the release of this information today was essentially for i c, for the psychological welfare. how if i told israel reaction to that statement the bullet, there still hasn't been any sort of word from his rule about a board by the confirming the killing of some of the leaves. that's the military commander and the leader of the uncle sam brigade thomas's military link. but it's important to note that back in july of 2024. israel already confirmed that themselves. if you'll recall, this was quite a deadly airstrikes on an area that was supposed to be a so called safe zone in southern gaza. the l y c area just south of han, eunice. this is a place that these really military told hundreds of thousands of palestinians to go to and the army says that i'm having a belief was there, which is why they struck. but it ended up killing hundreds of palestinians. and in fact, these really military couldn't even confirmed the news themselves for

a number of days. but the ripple effect that it had had caused because of the number of palestinians killed because of the repeated targeting of the safe zones. israel essentially said that it didn't matter to them where civilians were that if there was a target that they wanted to acquire, they were going to kill whoever was in the way. so for other lay done for him as in general to be acknowledging the fact that belief was in fact killed on that day. it doesn't mean much to them because to them, this is news that happened a year ago. okay, we're looking at the pictures from the moment, but of course that are prisoners who are having to different locations across the wi fi out of course, into guys as well. no, i understand that you have a list that kind of breakdown all 5 who has made up the 110 by the standing prisoners who being released from viewers who are just joining us on that. we just quickly run through that list is just give us an idea of who's likely to be going where the that's right,

you're looking for the $110.00 palestinian prisoners, $32.00 of them serving like sentences. now these are former detainees. now that israel says they have blood on their hands that have committed serious crimes. here looking at $48.00 who have long sentences and 30 of them are children, many of which held under administrative detention. it's important to note that his role is one of the only countries in the world but tries children under a military court system which 95 percent of the time results in a conviction. but those who are held under administrative detention do not have any charges or trial against them. israel simply arrest them because they feel that perhaps they could be some sort of threat. but it can range from anyone to a man, a woman, a child, a peace activist, a regular person who likes to post on social media, that is perhaps political, but some of these detainees, these former detainees now rather have gone to gaza. there will be a number of them who will be transferred to egypt, essentially deported,

and then going on to living exile in a separate country. they're also around 7 of these prisoners who return to their homes and occupied east jerusalem, where there is a heavy, heavy hand by is really forces to try and prevent any sort of celebration there. because this is an area that is real consider is israel, even though it's internationally recognized as being occupied by the state of israel. however, in the west bank, we're seeing different themes in ramallah because even though this is still a people who live under occupation, israel can read it at any time, but it's a little bit more difficult in a crowd like this for israel to try and control it. so even though they're trying to suppress all of this celebration, all of the joy that people are feeling to be re united with their loved ones, it's a little bit difficult. and this is the, the memo, essentially from the far right. that seems like this me in that israel has totally lost control and people like each more ben, beer bethel, it smelt receive that the celebrations of the palestinian prisoners across the

occupied west bank serve as a defeat for israel. thomas, a hotel peters from georgia is capital, and i thank you very much. i an excuse me, 17 fourty g m t you're watching. i'll just see that we're going to recap for you the story we've been covering over the last few hours with a look at some of the extraordinary and emotional scenes from gaza and they occupied westbank. israel has released a 110 palestinian prisoners as part of the 65 agreement with homeless. the under the palestinians have gathered in vermont and the occupied west by to welcome them home, especially children among the palestinians. his release is 32 for savvy light sentences. this was the moment upon us, the new prisoner,

we united with his family and occupied east jerusalem. that's where they at least 20 of the prisoners believes. and they said that among the most prominent palestinian prisoners release is as a body, it was part of a fight to movement. he will not be allowed to return to janine in the occupied westbank because of israel's ongoing military assault there. on alley, i tried, a couple of resumes, spoke to one prisoner in gaza for being released after 24 years. and there's many channels the show and know i had this important at a motorboat. this is a feeling that made me forget the pain of 24 years when you me to those people who wanted to have you. and the only welcome to get that set up. there are no was to describe how i'm feeling right now. they're really all know what 24 years of suffering could just be raised. if i met one of the children of calls that we have to really value and appreciate what this country a nation gave to us, they sacrificed everything. and they need every one of us going to bring in or they go back is and is very political commentator, was joining

a strong tel aviv good to have you with us. i know you've been with us over the last several hours watching with us what's been going on with in gaza and in israel . and you were talking to us before about the fact that israel, to all intents and purposes, within a certain sector of is really society has failed in guys that it has not achieved its objectives. one would imagine that that is going to have a political ramifications within the coalition of benjamin netanyahu. are we going to see a response of some sort by the coalition through the military? if there is a suggestion or if nothing else to try to cross suggestions that it has failed to some degree in gaza, a like that, we're going can see any sort of direct reaction. we're going to have a lot of rhetoric, a lot of heated rhetoric about how we have to go back to the war one stage one is over, how we don't we have to complete steel. the one common denominator for all of these types of rhetoric is the cost in some of exist in it at all. but it is important to

understand that these options, despite being able to cause much damage to harass the sound of these of prisoners, to obstruct their release as options are extremely limited, is on can do very little. i'm prime minister and let them know who signed a deal knew exactly what he signed. and i would suggest that he's very much committed to going through with the deal because of the benefits and politically. i think majority of these early public, even though it considers some us to be sub human even though it thinks all dozens are potential combatants even though it's supported with the genocide actively the majority of his early citizens do not want to continue this for i think that's a necessary well aware of that. we have over the last 15 months. been talking about the significant in so is that members of the far right have had in the coalition. best of those smart choice, the finance minister at scale to some degree seems to believe that he has

a tremendous amount of influence and can guide the way things are going at least up until recently in terms of of is very politics itself. are we seeing a shift, are we seeing a point where the far right in the coalition is losing it? sensors and indeed, perhaps within israel, broadly speaking, is losing it since others. and people will, as you were talking to us earlier about, focus more on benjamin netanyahu. and seeing him as the prime minister who brought peace, many of the religious right never had national clouds, never held real sway in that sense, smell, ditch, and his party are always a story to phenomenon. things is something a bit different. he's a genuine populace. he's not religious idea logs easier to break, have a can cause trouble to everyone. he doesn't like. he's establishing himself as a true physician to both center and to both center and the potential

right or left missing. you know, he's only hold for political liability. is to a sway these centrist voters, the only way he can do that is if he goes through what to do in that sense, it's not a shift. this is what these really center has always said is always center support . it is real genocide all contain. but there was one a condition for that support. and that is that the genocide did succeed, but it would bring back the hostages that it would put the test indians in their place that it was established. a security reality that would make is rarely still safe. but the genocide failed israel did not manage to do any of that. now the only way to restore the face of these is really citizens and their states and government just bring the hostages back. and these people are willing to end the war for it. even though they all support at the genesis, us, president donald trump is certainly regards himself as one of the driving forces

behind the, the cx 5 that we're currently seeing the audi stages of at the moment. um, what's your assessment for donald trump stands and all of this? and what kind of influence do you think you might have over benjamin netanyahu on what i need to accomplish? i think donald trump is very much committed to at least trying to make a grand bargains some sort of uh, middle eastern regional deal. uh that should his brand. it sits his commitments. he is not beholden to american as in chuckles, as he was in 2016 and he's not beholden to there as early brother in the religious settlers as he was then i think he is very much committed to trying to get a deal in place and that sense, donald trump is not a friend to the settlers who want to push on with the war. he's not necessarily a front and it's in the out. i think, uh, his uh,

emissary to the region. mr. with calls made it very clear to us, and you know that the deal should go through. he said as much to the families of the hostages that the expect to see all the hostages returned. that means that stage 2 of the deal will also go through. i am cautiously optimistic, this is actually going to happen. i think trump wants to do and i think and it's in the out even if it is heart of hearts. there's not a great fan of the deal realizes the issues. it is his only chance to maintain some sort of political power and to remain in control of his own political destiny. it wasn't that long ago that we were talking about the that the degree to which israel was militarily involved in other countries. 11 obviously solved 11 on against because paula and they occupied westbank, the continuing rates going on there. it's aggressions towards a ron, it's actions towards the syria and of course, the 15 months of uh, war that it was coming out in gaza. one of the suggestions that was made was that by pulling out of jobs it was re shaping as far as, as to be able to maintain

a presence in these other areas. what's your assessment of what israel's military capability is and its focus is at the moment, and i think it's military capability is diminishing, given this does get a shipment of 2000 pound balance and united states, i think, is military adventures in living on in syria and gaza, and certainly with regard to iran has sizzled out, even though there's and there's really presence inside syria and lebanon. as far as lovely non goes, i understand is always fully committed to a drawing by february 18th, in syria. the current syrian regime has not even grace israel's presence with any kind of response. as far as the wrong goes. president trump is definitely broadcasting and he is less interested in carrying out a strike and he's certainly not doing that and the out of pocket when it comes to striking in the wrong. it's all try to impose a strategic agenda on the middle east and basically gave israel complete and

community to do it. i heard wanted whenever it wanted, that is not happening as early forces are actually actively being chased out of lebanese villages. and in a situation like that, again, this demonstrates israel's strategic weakness. there's always not have an end game . even though it made a lot of grandiose statements. it was not willing to back them up. and just like it failed. and you guys are also in the mid to long term failed and loving on and has sailed in syria, no country in the world, including the united states as in brace israel's strategic endeavors and, and, and as it effectively, as far as i can tell israel pretty much stands alone, even though it's still garner is a lot of rhetorical and political support from various factions. strategically, we are isolated and we have no idea how to move forward. it's really interesting to get your thoughts on this or to go back. we appreciate it. thank you very much

indeed. thank you for having me. a topic. how about resume is life was outside the european hospital in con units where released palestinian prisoners from gaza. i mean expected to be taken. talk to us about what's been happening over the last couple of hours or so because we present extraordinary pictures outside of the hospitals where you are of the palestinian prisoners arriving. and in 2 traunches, i believe in 2 different coaches who were then taking into the hospital for medical treatment. i know you've been talking to a few of the families and indeed of course, one of the prisoners themselves. just bring this up to date with what's been happening just to make it clear for all of you is that the international committee of the red cross managed to a transport at least 29 palestinian present as to the european hospitals, including knowing a college student prisoners will have been reunited again with the families that are originally from gaza and 20 others with less if i to be doable to use in the

agreement. but when it's read on how much i'm now the are still inside that a mid because points that have been set in cooperation between the i c, r. c causes health ministry. but the series question is, who, who will take care of boost effort to use and where they will go a life of the a new place. but they are currently in away from the family members. and this is a southern change that had been made in the do, and maybe that could be a very tim temporary show to for them right now guys, a later they might be for bed to be transported outside because of strep. but the general sentiment in the european hospitality and gods, especially among the assemblies of the release, published and it present as it is as the is this completely a mix of happiness, excitement and joy for the re bruland reunion that had been long awaited a fort. them off to these of separation. we so families,

us operating with their loved ones who have been sucked behind. it is by the past 4 decades of many of them right now are reunited again with their family members in the ruins of their destroyed homes. of course, many areas in the gaza strip and they are recording old good days as a, as i have been told by a number that was published in prison, is that the moment that they were released to the gaza strip is completely memorable and irreplaceable for them. as they for got all sorts of pains to, to, and miserable conditions they have been forced to into the housing the is what he paused just for the moment or for, for the sake of the moment that they will be re united again with the families here are you saying that some of them have been telling you that the return is memorable and irreplaceable? at the same time, of course, that are going to be those who are being in hispanic jails for a long time. and that the guys are that they returning to the will bear no

resemblance to the guys that the less yeah, that's right. many families are still also waiting for their beloved ones who are still behind these when he paused and then he is very detention comes witnessing on imaginable sorts of talk to physically and psychologically role. we understand that once they are going to be released from the east, very jails, this moment will be written in history and will be always memorable of fluid. them a simply uh they were sent back to a landmark that used to know they will be shocked by the scale of destruction. and the unprecedented change made to the geographical nature of the gaza strip of following these very minute trip rations in the strip. but mostly what we understand is what's is so important to note for all of you is, is that there is going to be more release of these when it captives over the, over the course of the past of the next week. and the expected that most publish

that prisoners will be, again, were united with the families and the loved ones thought it covers and bring us up to date their form. what's been happening in con eunice, in gaza. they've got to mom and push out. obviously the senior political analyst who's joining us not from dough. he's been with us over the last several hours watching what's been going on. but i want to ask you about comments that time. and our alley i guess, was making, with regards to the position of israel out and go back. it was was making uh, with regards to the position of, of israel in terms of its military expansion. we sell over the last 50 months as we were discussing. it was up against his ball that installed the 11 and it was taking i being aggressive towards it on it even took action against city. of course it had his ongoing warning garza and its a continuing rates in occupied westbank, according to audi. go back that has all changed that basically israel has over extended and it has nowhere else to go. i want to ask you about the global view of

israel, not compared to the view that the world may have had say a couple of months ago, particularly for example, that the un let's go look. there is a one perspective right about israel's a strategic standing today from is read. if you were a humane person with consciousness and memory it 2 years after the holocaust, you would say what the, how are we doing and who are these people in government? and why are they dragging us from one war to another? and from one more crime to a general side and back. and why are we in presenting another people? why are we torturing and talk you buying an entire nation? this is not what the jewish people are supposed to do. this is not what the so

called jewish state is supposed to be all about. and hence, it doesn't seem like we stop fighting. it's one war after another. our history, 75 years, is history of wars withdrawn from people of power. 3 and philosophy is to permanent fighters. we haven't stop fight a war and what else? that as i said here, we are over the past 20 years to be fighting for the wars. it can spread as things on him, us to know and insight. we continue to claim victories for nothing on and syria, i and jordan in egypt. we couldn't victory 60 7738220062004 so on, so forth with on stuff winning. but we don't stop fighting. that's how we would look like for someone like already there it is, right. but if you look at it from the other side, what you see is a fighting nation. i got a sudden state supported by the waltz bowers,

like the united states and france and the u. k. in germany and others. and it's on a continuous pass to more an occupation and illegals supplements. and how part days and years it was able to knock out it to some degree has 1911 on, on somehow through the sanctions and so on. a central and syria, the access of resistance is in dire straits. it on is definitely on the defensive ness and 2nd defects of the united states and its own sanctions and its unconditional support, arms, finance, diplomacy and otherwise to his right. so what's your, what's your perspective? are we going to embrace the night drop? why i would argue that from and is ready to perspective, you have every right to say i want to might be my nation to be my state, to be a state of peace. and i need to live in peace with my neighbors icons continued

occupied then. that's not what the jewish people are about. then about something completely different and, and as far as the fighting wars, even if it is red, is in good standing today with the support of the trump administration. and can, in fact continue to knock the lawn again and again, because it didn't destroy much of its defensive posture. that doesn't mean that it's going to live in peace. the only way to peace is not security. the only way to secure it is space. we have about a minute, the last one i want to ask you just very briefly about the, the, are your opinions about this, these 5 is a lot of speculation about what is going to happen with that. as i say, we've heard about 50 seconds. can you just give us an idea? i've got a feeling that you have about what's going to happen with this is fine and gaza as well as all go all things being equal. it would continue because there's

a vested interest in washington for this thing to continue because the new administration does not want the war. it wants to transform biden's war into trump space, even if it is. and surely it wouldn't be at the expense of the palestinians. trump is going to allow nothing, you know how to, uh, to confiscate how much of the west bang and return for continuing with the ceasefire. allowing for an organization has relations with out of countries. again, he could turn the war on guys into peace with the out of world, but it wouldn't be done at the expense of the kind of thing you bottom, we're going to leave it there. we will be talking to you again. my one shot a thank you very much indeed. so we'd be watching pictures coming from the outside . westbank on some guys are probably spending prisoners just being freed from is really just returning to the families of friends. the support is usually security services. i've said that they did not want to see any demonstrations and

celebration on their return. these are the kind of pictures will be more change over the last several hours. i'll be back in a moment, was more the humanitarian crisis, and 11 and calls for immediate and sustained action. okay, foundations, less than an emergency response serves as a vital lifeline for many in desperate need. your donations can play a crucial role in alleviating suffering. promoting community wellbeing and contributing to the recovery. join. okay, foundation in its mission to support 11 and during this critical time. full now or visit. okay, adult tool. this is chuck chucky a is the 1st country to develop a national sustainable tourism program in collaboration with the global sustainable tourism comes. this country holds more beauties than just those. you see blue flag,

fact again, is designed to inflame and defense. the way that the story is being told is not right. and it's not accurate from social networks to legacy media. the listening post explosives, the post is behind the headlights pulled out the the hello and robotics, and this is the news online from joe how coming up in the next 60 minutes. freedom of last a 110 pounds of sending prisoners. the theme released from is very jails, despite attendance by, as it was 5 minutes to to suspend the exchange rate is through con unit as palestinian prisoners and welcome home to garza, the most.
