and how about us and the palestinian islamic jihad have named the 3 is really captives held and gaza, who will be released on saturday as part of a cease fire deal. they are, russian is really citizen alexander truth. and all of us as realizes inside the deck, hell, chin, and argentinian is really citizen. yeah. your horn, the 3 captains will be released in exchange for palestinian prisoners, held in his rarely jails. note all day is in i'm and jordan. she's there because the israeli government and palestinian authority have banned alger 0 from reporting from both israel and the occupied westbank. nor what more do we know now about saturdays, upcoming release of captains. some of the know that the families of those 3, the russian is rarely american, is rarely an argentine in, is really captives will be celebrating, and the families of other captains will be more helpful. the more exchanges will be on the way radio silence. in the meantime, from the is really government,

the is rarely at channel at 12 saying that there are estimates at the is really prime minister will not comment on this exchange. we'll hope to see another one push from us for an extra exchange that is not on the books that it was not agreed on. and really keep up the pressure on him us. but there is very little expectations or, or hopes really for phase 2. and that's really where all that anxiety is for it for now. sees fire holds. there is some hope in the families of palestinians who are waiting to see what the list where what, who will be included, who will see their families and loved ones tomorrow, from the palestinian present, or so a sign of hope. a sigh of relief for the mediators. radio silence from these really government, nor, as you mentioned, certainly a sense of optimism right now, or at least cautious optimism after days of worry about where the ceasefire process

was. but if you could just remind our viewers about the framework and the process has been agreed to when it comes to the captains that are supposed to be released during phase one of the ceasefire. yeah. how about the vic? phase one is suppose to see the release of $33.00 is rarely captive civilian. first, we saw the release of women who live in captives in exchange for palestinians. pablo, city and detainees, many serving life sentences are and long sentences, and also more than a 100 published indians disappeared from garza during the war. and then we started seeing the release of is ready capt as male captives, who are older, above 50 or sick, suffering from some from elements but civilian still. and by the conclusion of phase one, all written, all the civilians at captured by the palestinian armed groups, dead and alive,

are expected to have been set free. phase 2 gets a lot more complicated. that's when the release of is really, soldiers is expected and it can exchange for that the formula would completely change. i know this sounds a bit cold, but really that is the, these are the details that mediators have to get down to between the parties. a during those negotiations that everybody's hoping would succeed, how many palestinians is as well willing to release to set free in exchange for the release of is really captives. how many a trucks, vital medicine equipment is, is really a lot willing to allow into gaza in exchange for the freedom of is really captives . those are the negotiations. in phase one, we are, you know, still on schedule, although israel, by its own admission,

has not allowed as much humanitarian aid. and as many tons and mobile homes as it had agreed initially to do that. so what are they live for us from? i'm on jordan, where as you say, it's a very complicated process. thanks for breaking it all down for us. it was cross now to my mode who is in the, in southern gaza. how do you? thanks for coming back up for us. um, let me ask you 1st, how are people reacting to this latest development well, there is a quite visible sense of relief and comp for right now for the decision that the exchange will take place as of tomorrow as a schedule for the agreement. and this is something that the, the palestinians find in groups underground one to instead that this as per the schedule is not being intimidate, is not being threatened by the deadlines setup by or set by donald trump. that to the release of old cop is by saturday and default. it's important just to show this and to pointed out the agreements uh was a schedule that every saturday we have

a batch of copy. they're going to be released and exchanged for palestinians release the front is regularly detention centers to the palestinian territories. and that is by itself that brought much of the comfort, the relief of sense that there is a possibility that this cease fire is going to continue despite the hiccups, even though it was a very difficult one, as people pretty much lost cold. and everybody wasn't preparing for the, the next move by these really side as many of the intimidating language surface as well as the many threats, reputed fritz by these really specials on the military levels of political level, consistence and, and supported by donald trump, the statement but as if they would see a different uh, feeling get started actually from yesterday as an agreement was reached and the, many of the issues that were on the we were cleared up and going back to the agreement. now, how much on its part, the other policy,

if i agree with the and says that there is nothing other than it complying with the terms of the agreement and the failures in the past? the 22 days by this we decide to fulfill the obligations of the the ceasefire brought us to that a stand off. and as long as, as these various site commits and comply to the terms of the ceasefire agreement, that includes the entry of a much needed data trucks, not the complimentary stuff we're doing, but the trucks do go dozers the, the mobile homes and tends to are much needed right now for people returning to their homes. in northern garza and garza city and the eastern parts here in rough. i city just an hour wait here. we see. and many of the people who are literally the 10 that the setup are not fit for the people to stay and does not protect them, does not provide them with the work that they need at this time of the of, of the year. the winter time. it's very windy, very stormy. so they're much needed of these 8 to come in. they're also the medical supplies, hospitals, non operational,

many people are dying now and silent because they don't have the treatment. so it's a question of availability of medical supply to these hospital to sustain operations and to intervene in a proper way and offered proper medical intervention to patients and much needed of injuries inside. also medical evacuation. the want to see all the names and the number that'd be agreed upon to exact with it safely out of properly from rubbish crossing. they don't want to see names being crossed out by these really side, but we see more often that from the total number close to it, $20400.00 people only less than a 1000 people managed to evacuate on the medical. exactly. that's less than half of the agreed upon number these issues altogether, the whole now they're going to be cleared out of the way they're going to be going forward smoothly. and that's what gives people a little bit of hope right now. all right, that sounds as here's how the my would live for us in the, in the southern gaza. thanks so much. and this samuel area is professor of public

affairs and director of center for islam and global affairs at this time. because i am university, you joins us from assemble assignment. there's been so much concern these past several days about the fragility of the ceasefire. and many had worried. it could collapse at any moment with the release of these names of captives that are scheduled to be released on saturday. now, where do you think things stand? well, this is uh, the 6 round tomorrow would be the 6 round where hostages are kept. is, would the least we have 16 is what you lose if they've already been released and 5 tie workers to model another 3 that makes it 19. so i think we're on track to finish the 1st stage with 33 is really captives being very nice and exchange for 1900. but his thing is, victor over 1900. so i think as far as the 1st stage is concerned with on track, the problem hasn't been really the release of the captives or the hostages. and probably it has been that is haven't been fulfilling their part of the bundle, which is to allow 600 trucks every day. they have been only allowing the fewer than

a 100 to date, with the exception, the ones. how much threatened, but it's what it would hold the new ground. they started in an accident rating. these reduces, yesterday. there was over $800.00 trucks and today also there are more than $600.00, which makes it easier to fulfill each part there bought the parts of the bargain, which is to fulfill the, the parts of the 1st stage. so tell me if you're talking about commitments going forward, i want to ask you about where you think things stand when it comes to face to of a see far because what had been originally planned was for now discussions to be going forward about trying to implement phase 2 and negotiate the implementation of phase 2. so where do you think things stand with that? so unfortunately, they were supposed to start on the 16th and was best that last weeks or the week end to the, the, this negotiations that they have a starting. and i think clinton yeah,

who did not want to start it until he gets the green line from trump, basically allowing him to resume the war whenever he thinks he could. but i don't think trump allowed him to do that. and therefore now the, the new, the sessions are in earnest. it's not clear what the final status would be, but i think the americans, as well as the by the stands and some of the theaters are trying to push this very hard. i think the, the bottom line is going to be what the american position would be is, is i don't want it to resume the war and whether it's trustworthy gives them the green lights or not. otherwise, we will go into the 2nd phase. my prediction is that, that something does not need a warrant, does not want to war. he tried to actually stop it. the new one who was in washington telling him what the one who said i want to dislodge from us from that is that i said, i'm going to get everybody's doing out of because that which meant to me a whole i that's one reading of what he was trying to do, and therefore i think we're going to get into the 2nd stage. the question is whether we will and the 2nd stage, with the complete cease fire or not and compete withdrawal. that needs to be c

assignment. you're talking about us present. donald trump stance thus far and how it has complicated things. i want to ask you about the kind of rhetoric we've been hearing from from since he took office at the start of the 2nd term, where he's been talking about forcibly display some palestinians who live in gaza. now, in the last few weeks, you've heard more and more from arab countries who are flatly rejected. this idea, they've been unified in their stance. and yet, in the last 24 hours, the us secretary of state marco rubio has indicated to american media outlets that they're still waiting to hear from arab states on their plan going forward. what more do you think we are going to be hearing from arabs and what will the americans be expecting from the? and i think that's from being trump. if you go back to his book, the author of the deal, what he does is trying to shock the other side. and with his announcement, i think everybody who knows anything about the middle east knows that whatever they've been saying, there's nothing to those reality. there is no way that take them to displace the

pedestrians or expelled them from the land. and as he made the announcement in order to change the, the, the, the, the, the lines in which the option with the response. so he wants has to be out of as at least the leadership not to be the cause of that. so he put a proposal that is unreliable, hoping that the ops would come back with a different plan in which there would be other means of the. so called did they asked us, so how much would not be part of the name of that, sir? and that's of course it's on order because that's what is what has been trying to do for 15 months with sort of destruction and killing and method. because uh was donation and, and the denial of all the basic needs. but the trump is trying to get that without having to pay much price. i believe that we are into very difficult negotiations at the end. trunk would have to realize that he may not be able to do what he wants, but you want to accept what they are ups,

which would basically be an equal destruction of cuts. that was some rule, not a prominent role, but with some role for the, for how much, at least when it comes to security. all right, samuel area and thanks so much for joining us on alger 0. we appreciate it from klein is a professor of political science at bar ilan university. he joins us from west jerusalem medicine. so this leg of the ceasefire is back on track and going to plan after 3 days of great uncertainty. how do you read the events of the past several days? that is the ones that the base in these is really covering that the decision maker has what has to break the agreement, the resumes the war, or no. uh, and then it led. fortunately, it led to continue the same so that this is ryan agreed was agreed to continue or maybe provide a list of about a senior person on us to be reduced tomorrow. there wasn't

a high pressure inside and these really administration to continue is really public opinion. put the pressure to continue on like nothing else, interest to stop the process to go back to or may not have this part of the ceasefire is also supposed to involve negotiations. on phase 2, which involves these really military withdrawal from gaza. is there any political appetite for this in israel right now? the up it dies exist only as long as the opposition, the very few opposition, but these are the key question is where they're the next stage. we must include the end of the war, the ending, the war is a guess nothing y'all. and this company meant interest. they want to remaining butler, they know that the, for the war and they, they face the inquiry commission on the elections and perhaps the new

polish that's, that's the key issue here. um, so we have to wait and see whether there is an agreement to the next stage or not. many of them we've heard so much from donald trump these past few weeks when it comes to gaza. whether it's his threat to, you know, and we shall, if, if the captives weren't released or also this idea of forcibly displacing palestinians from gaza. i want to ask you about the impact of trumps comments on israel's calculations going forward. of the they are in the cases that the drugs idea came from is right from crime and despair from the office from the company. now enough in vacation showing good. uh the, the scores inside these are the public and social media is

supporting the expulsion supporting. got to be pleasing, of course not fair. the, the main stream almost all, let's say about 90 percent of these wireless. all these run the tools they support ethnic cleansing. it could be the cause for all drugs because it's not, it's not to me, it's truck. but they shuffle deep, there is a big shift and there's really public opinion was very be nice enough, but they said no, no, never exist. now they say not to go, we are in favor of it. all right, man, i'll come, let me ask you when it comes to the public in israel, what's the sense right now when it comes to the ceasefire? a, do me a people in the public and it's real. want to see it continue they want to seat continue as long as they are is rarely hostages. then what happens is,

what will happen is all hostages are back for the whole including soldiers and including the, the bodies and hopefully of the cube. soldiers and civilians. and then resuming the war, i assume that the issue of the public was supposed to resuming the war under excuse, regardless what the agreement says. all right, that's a man off inquiring professor, a political science at bar one university, joining us from west jerusalem. thanks so much for that. thank you. as we now details on prisoners set to be released by israel tomorrow, 36 people who were serving life sentences and 333 who were arrested in gaza since the war began. will be released on saturday after the captives are freed. we'll come back to this in just a moment. first, while there has been an increase in the amount of assistance delivered to gaza since the ceasefire began last month,

8 organizations or warning that much more is needed to address. but you mandatory in situation in the strip are a couple assume reports from bropa and southern gaza on the urgency mandatory needs of people there. in goza, families are returning to the neighborhoods only to find them unrecognizable. the greatest hardships, not just the last, the filter is the relentless fight for survival. food is cost clean, more to the luxury and medical care, almost nonexistent on the front lines of this humanitarian catastrophe on what and you want us to are struggling to meet the overwhelming needs of the people with hospitals only that destroyed or badly functioning on what has opened it's the emergency medical clinic since the c spy, it began. the facility is a lifeline for thousands. the needs are immense. people are coming with the same

types of complaints that they had before the war place has been pregnant ladies, people with diabetes and an but we're also seeing new types of complaints, high demand for psycho social support, high demands the nutritional services as well beyond me because i know that crisis is escalating, the lack of clean, what's the purpose and it takes should you want us? this has be thought b. s, it's providing hygiene kits and 3 pairing point points with goals as infrastructure in ruins. the risk of disease is rising. it is windsor here in gaza and children and their families remain in need of every spring. the ceasefire has given organizations like eunice, of the opportunity to bring in considerably more supplies, including hygiene supplies. but the needs are so high and so dire. from

many, even finding a place to sleep is a major challenge. with homes destroyed, people are forced to sit up, make shift tense in the most on imaginable places. but other than enough, i came back here to find no way to live and nothing is left for me except the cemetery, where i set up my time. we are here 20 families and 20 tons. we have from different pots and areas. we stay now over the dead. there are no toilets and new places to take chavez. we don't have food. the rain sits us have a. my daughter gave us last week and there is no proper place if the volume is 8 send to the best. so it's going to stretch during the 1st phase of the ceasefire, but at least crashes the surface what the population needs to spot the ceasefire agreement to an agencies one that without sustain international supports that you many, terry, and catastrophe here were only deep and for families and gaza,

the struggle for survival spa from over rick up as the out to 0 roof palestine. as we mentioned before, we now have details of those being released and exchange for the captain. let's cross that in my mood, who's in the profile in southern gaza. honey, what does all this mean to people in? gosh, well it's so far been getting more help and more sense of relief as the past 3 days . we're quite critical for people we've. we've seen people with talk do many of the displaced palestinians in central area, in the southern part of the malott faith evacuations, aware of preparing them place to return to their homes in northern gauze and got to be had to postpone these a plants because there was so much uncertainty about their safety and what's going to happen if the kept is we're not really as if there's really monetary and system

are not allowing the trucks and much needed it into the gaza strip. there was more of a quite on sports in a sense among people about what's going to happen, the future of the season fire. but as of now the from yesterday to the past couple hours of statements, a comment came out and do a short vehicle that the ceasefire is going to hold. and as per the agreement and the deadline set by the ceasefire agreement, the copies will be released on saturday and exchange of his rails commitment to allow the entry of much needed aided trucks and much needed needed items, including a truck simple. those are, is in machinery to remove the troubles or from the street through openness trees to clear up areas. so people are able to set up, their tends to allow more buying homes to get in the 10s. the many of the things are people waiting for it to get in here because the majority of people returning to their homes in the northern gauze are set up tens it from whatever materials

available to them. the would the plastic dish, the plastic sheets that are available or the used in the past, 50 months or so and their enforce displacement are war not, not, not sufficient enough for them to stay. and so they need a new, they have these tens that are going to protect them, give them some of the privacy as well as give them the warrants at this time of the year. so the news by itself just caused the change in the mood. so far we seeing more hopes and more sense of relief and comfort. yet, there is always this dominating the seeing. the are the cautious optimism because we're not yet into face to face. do is much more solid, it was thought it was set the road by the clear for the future of the seeds fire and the terms of the ceasefire. and whether we're going to see many failures to comply with the, the terms or is it going to be an easier one compared to phase one?

because 6 so far phase one c. and i've witnessed many of the violations from biz ran inside at the obstruction of the crossings and a deployed to gaza. and the hope that is not going to repeat itself in phase 2. all right, that sounds as here's how much would life for us and the roof i in southern guy. so thanks so much honey. the for us, but committee monitoring the cease fire 11 on is due to discuss israel's request to extend the deadline for withdrawing his forces. israel has asked for a 10 day extension beyond the february 18th. the deadline under review, brokered by washington in november, israeli troops were granted 60 days to withdraw from 711 on the initial deadline has already been extended from january 26th until february 18th to me, while as well as the borders have blocked the road to be rude to airport in response to government decision banning flights, buying iranian airlines authorities say some of the flights by my hun air i've been

rescheduled for next week as part of safety procedures. it comes days after israel accused the ron and his beloved using the airport to smuggle funds to arms 11 east, [000:00:00;00] the ukraine president the letting me zalinski says europe will have to unite behind ukraine so it can protect itself. speaking at the munich security conference before meeting with the us, vice president, so landscape says decisions about ukraine's future can't be taken lightly. i think it's very important to work together with teams. and i went ahead and conversational was uh, president trump. we didn't have enough time to discuss all this, things about secure attendance cetera. i don't know if it's the question of why it's president. i don't know. i mean, the as but to anyway, i will resolve this, this topic we, we can see but,

but i said to president trump with all respect all his team with all of his dental his team. there are some decisions which can be only on the level of precedence, because it's security of your country. gabriella is finds various is lithuania, is form a foreign minister. he says trump's proposal for peace and ukraine must have been welcomed by a russian president. vladimir put mainly that there is a real celebration here in montgomery that i'm saying, partial because, you know, he's not sure whether that's a final goal that he was able to achieve. what they did. that's how for you, he's awfully there this, you know, he, once you find out of nato, he wants to know native trips and ukraine always wanted that. and he really wants to, so that the 3rd or is that he all and you, if you're wise, well at least partially recognized as a, as a russian russian territories. and you've heard that in brussels. ringback for him, you know, it sounds like, like a good deal coming in. but you know,

it's very much depends now on, on a couple of manufacturers. first of all, as you find themselves all the willing, unable to resist, you let us for some numbers. and 2nd, the euro easy, or i'm going to find that be wake up or somebody will have to declared that at the beginning some of us were quite helpful. additional sanctions, additional support you frame. um, you know, basically keeping this scale ukrainian scale, you know, stronger because they're, you know, they're out there the week of the party in indian, the world. clearly the are the victim of the more. so we need to put more support so that your brain was able to hold and then from there, from the battlefield, where they would feel stronger would come in negotiations. the company go search now. so there was hope provides, uh, but the, you know, yesterday messages kind of change change that the bit. so then again, it's very important now also with your music days, you know, to hear what europe is going to say. ukraine says russia launched the drone attack on that,
