remaining captive in gaza from the central jersey to. i'm a serious defense ministry says it's re gains control of areas in the north west became under a tank by flights as loyal to deposed. lead to the show around the sized hundreds of people were killed in the most serious challenge to the transitional government . so source a since it took power into some buck, the attacks happened in the port cities of latasha and told us on the mediterranean coast booth. well, i said whole strong house russian strikes and you cranes east, and don't that whole keep regions of tubes. at least 14 people will sco, says, forces have retake and the 3 villages that should crane seize and rushes cost region. large demonstrations is taking place around the world. smoke international women's day in the ukrainian city of hockey's. a demonstration was held to will the women soldiers who have died defending the country in the spanish capital. women

that this is strong winds have coach powered symbols and $320000.00 households in the australian stage of queensland. the go forth winds the result of what was psycho now friday which has been downgraded to a trouble. no, the system is slowly crossing the mainland, bringing down trees and power lines and se thoughts of queensland. i'm neighboring new south wales. any say they will cover the both of you from mine, swept away in floods was as well those all that had minds. the news continues hit on, i'll just say right off the bottom line to stay with us for that. the

hi, i'm steve punish. and i had a question with israel cutting off all 8 to gaza and home us rejecting israel's changes to their ceasefire. deal is a new wave of destruction against casa, and the indiscriminate killing the palestinians about to reignite. let's get to the bottom line, the, the exchange of more than 1900 palestinian prisoners held by israel and exchange for the release of 25 is really captive held by hamas and the return of remains of 8 others. finalize this phase, one of the cease fire agreement between israel and hamas at the start of what was expected to be the initiation of phase 2. i'm us still hold captive. 59 is released . $24.00 of whom were believed to be alive and $25.00 deceased. this phase 2 of the

agreement calls for negotiations to end. the war to withdraw is really troops entirely from gaza and to search humanitarian aid and ultimately to secure the remaining 59 is really captive. but that phase 2 of the agreement is now hanging by a thread. as israel has stopped all a trucks from entering garza and her mazda is rejected, israel's call for extending the ceasefire without taking these other steps to withdraw its forces. nerves are on the edge as prime minister. netanyahu has now resumed threats of restarting the destruction. in addition, this week, air of states made their own 53000000000 dollar gaza redevelopment proposal focused on rebuilding gaza by 2030. a proposal already rejected by the united states and israel presidents donald trump has now instead come. busy to the relocation of all 2000000 gallons, a base palestinians, and it's tweeted out. and a i created depiction of him so often has rarely prime minister netanyahu lounging in swimming trunks on a beach before exotic towers and

a resort in gaza. calling at the riviera of the middle east, a depiction of the real estate development he wants after palestinians are removed with no right of return. today we're talking with daniel levy, president of the us middle east project in a former is really government negotiate or maybe recently testified before the un security council on gaza. and israel, daniel, thanks so much for joining us today. but let's just get right down to it. right now, we've seen largely most of phase one of this negotiated deal and a ceasefire between come us and his real completed with the exchange of prisoners per capita. is that how mazda take? and now we're looking at whether phase 2 has any chance of, of moving forward. what are, what are you, what is your take on this we did have the implementation of phase one, steve very well, the crew 9. they with gaps in that implementation of primarily and factually.

this is just to acknowledge the primarily those gaps from things that it is really side committed to and did not deliver. perhaps the most significant, well not in terms of its immediate impact on people's lives, was, is roles, refusal to engage in negotiations over phase 2. they didn't send a team. those were supposed to begin all day 60. it's questionable whether it actually be gone right to this day because, and this goes your question of what are the prospects now face to face 3. the continuation of this was supposed to see the continued his rating military withdrawal up to and including a spinal withdrawal troops and a permanent ceasefire. each route has systematically refused that continues to refuse that it was putting things into the mix, which with nothing the agreed framework was to fix the we

have to take into account is that these ready prime minister? he repeated this, these ready problem at the kinetic a march. the said, if how much doesn't give up the rest of these radius being held, then they will be held to pay these. how much does give them up? then we're still going to review the war on costs. so that's no way to try and secure a deal. and the question is, amongst all this, will be us itself, applegate, the tubs of the deal, which they said ministration. the trumpet administration, m boy, we called out of taken credits in a cheese, makes it a tv. will they now go along with these route in moving the goal posts? if i do, i don't think we're going to have the continuation of the ceasefire. we will not get phase 2 is right, is trying to get an extension of phase long. i don't think that's going to be

achievable. so i mean, not is this in a sustainable way. and by the way, if the us negotiate something and then it sells withdrawals from what he has endorsed, being a guarantor. all i think that has implications well beyond because we're in the middle east in the wells words that wasn't, you've touch that rail. i want to go right into it. uh, president trump tweeted out an a i generated image of himself with b, b, netanyahu the prime minister of israel, sitting in, in swimming trunks in front of you know, towers what they call the riviera, of the middle east of a, of a gaza. that has no palestinians in at a resort. so i'm just as soon as there is as part one, part 2 is president. trump has endorsed the cutting off of all humanitarian aid. the gaza right now, which is real, has stopped trucks from going in which last time i checked was a,

a violation of humanitarian law and, and, and a crime against humanity in, in, in, in international legal terms. so i guess in my question to you is, here is the, is the end where you have the president, i'd say no longer basically, as i won't even call him a fair arbiter. but someone trying to be part of a process of reaching an equilibrium. but between both of the sides, steve, we have to acknowledge that the previous extra administration under the circumstances of the last year in the hall divided administration, of course itself was interested in those war crimes. he offered not only the weaponry, but the diplomatic political economic, legal counselor tried to at least to these rady side and it's diplomacy was also can speak us late a phase. now let's acknowledge that nothing yahoo looked at the new american

political reality and said, will i have to move a little bit if these guys want a ceasefire? i don't want to get a hold the wrong. so that would be good reasons. he thought about how, what have you gotten not said yahoo to a ceasefire and i'm not suggesting this administration has a rule. the agenda are on this human rights or international oral palestinian liberation pop from it. but having at least gotten to that ceasefire, which is really important and to, to an end to this particular and a very ugly and devastating round of. ready does the administration now want to do a u. turn on that? because there are a couple of things going on. one, as you say, this is a full cry. what is being force displacement of the palestinian population? the idea of the root? yeah. is a walk, right? withholding the humanitarian i preventing the access of those supplies. he's one of the reasons he's read is being tried for jet aside. and these ro has urgent

measures, a ready stipulated by the international court of justice in the south africa case, which israel has ignored. i'm one of the reasons why the international criminal court as issued arrest warrants against nothing yahoo and useful the defense minister. precisely for using salvation as a weapon of war and all the 6. so this is the active list in those will crimes. it is also steve, the empowering of the most extreme elements inside israel. i think we've seen remodel resilience from the palestinian population. i don't think we're going to see very successful forced removal. but the team coverage is that very trend at the moment of such extreme is and, you know, let's use the time because it's correct in this respect, a genocidal thing. to encourage that is the worst possible place you could put yourself as a us or any other administration. and then you have the author relevant,

which is the grotesque, bizarre, the in, she made an ongoing which is in that they, i generate to video, which we have been hearing. i'm seeing witnessing from the actions all these ratings off of it. and just the other day, and he's ready to tell him his folks that david meant to turn around and i think it's always, it's also want it. so the gone wrong with that, hey, i generated movie, he turned around and said there's so much through being tarza the we could have the know be city, academic know what kind of sickness is that when you talking those tubs, the next thing that going to be telling us is when we see the go to images of solving power. steering is, is that overdosing on those? i mean, what kind of each to manatees, but we just send it to both cities route and do mean us, daniel, i watched your uh, your 12 minute presentation to the un security council. it was very powerful,

but one of the things you did at the beginning was to put a human face on this drama to talk about those cap. this have been released to a woman. no argument was there. you recognized her and talked about her partner who is still being held. but one of the things that you said, and i want to read it, you said a minute of silence for each of the be bus. children would be appropriate as what a minute of silence for each of more than $18000.00 palestinian children the murdered in israel's devastation of gaza. many more under the rubble that silence would extend over 300 hours. that really, really caught my attention. i mean, i'm just wondering, was that heard among those people who were speaking to do they understand the level of trauma that the palestinian sides have endured? in addition to the trauma that i know that that is really 7 dirt from october 7th. but the scale of response is that resonating from your perspective.

i cannot know, steve, it was very important for me to say, absolutely. i want people to hear the personal stories of these is right. it was important to hear. uh no, i'm the one who had been helped who was in the room. you know how her resilience, how, how she got through can we really not to court? that same knowledge of the quality of humanity, o. d cannot to, to the palestinians because time and again. well, we have heard through this conflict ease, ease, attempts to have us see ourselves reflected in those, these res, any cooling attempt, an intent to maintain palestinians as based on the

identifiable di, individualize each humanized mass. and that the humanize ation is the pos to will cracked. that's the pos to no longer seeing these people as children of an equal got as i out the baseline data. how all the things that the, the was said they're going to be said elsewhere, landed, it was an attentive room. i could, i can say that much. but of course the proof of the pudding is indeed. and now we're actually going to now see the continued ability all these res id enabled by the us to impose the kinds of conditions on palestinians which inevitably, but also we full for the mileage, the full, full course dash destruction software installation. and so

putting a stop to that means holding these res site accountable in ways which you can speak to. leslie has not been held to account last fall. we recently heard president trump address both chambers of congress. so it's not the state of the union address, but it's what presidents do when they come in uh, starting a new term. and they often have people in the gallery that they refer to to help reinforce elements of their speech. and know our kamani was one of his guesses, as, as were other former captives from us were in the gallery. but in this hour and 40 long minute speech, that is the longest speech of any president before a joint convening of congress. he made one comedy says we're getting our hostages back. that's it. were you surprised by the lack of attention even of those that had been made their way out, had been released or rescued or released by how much?

not making a bigger deal and do you think it's because many of these uh, former captives are actually calling on is real to live by the terms of the agreement that they, that they agreed to on the ceasefire deal. so i called speak to the motivations of president trump, as he uh, treated everybody to one hour and 40 minutes of a model of what we can say. and it's important that you brought this up to date is we have these rated government telling us how much is the we often have the us government and all those telling us how much is the obstacle. and i don't want to suggest the last uh, of the most easy going negotiate. they will hold out for things that they can see the equal in the deal. i think what we see throughout this is a quite a realistic position on that,

which is different from an easy position. what you have these april reality. so many of the families of those still be these ready families are those still being helping us families of those have been to know the sites that last months of those who have been released. but those come out in the context of these deals, and that's how the vast majority of those who have been much did live happy much the overwhelming majority. we have seen those people time and again take to the squares, and the towns always route to tell us that the obstacle to a g o z was sabotaging dispute. not at yahoo and he's hedge. you have one of the models of someone's still being a novice gap is i designed out a son. tom is soon still to be lighting dogs and st. just the opposite day that these ready prime minister has sent a space delegation to hold sleep tools in order to intentionally sabotaged the

prospects of continuing to cease fire. and with the intention of blaming how much so those people are in a unique position. but they over months and months when these res kept setting telling, go around the world, tell them, well, you have to put pressure on how much through those months they reach the conclusion . and they reached that conclusion because the evidence became overwhelming over time. the prime minister, nothing yet for his own personal, political, legal, and ideological, let's not forget that there's not an idea of what you hear, right? considerations is preventing this from happening. is the imperative of maintaining and completing deceased by the release of all these ratings, your partner included the exchange of prisoners, the fullest rating, military withdrawal, the searching of humanitarian assistance, which should never have been prevented. that requires the parties to implement that

commitments. it will require the withheld palestinian prison to release to be made good on. it requires the role of the guarantors, fairies good reason to fear that this could collapse, that there is good reason to fear a resumption of those tragedies. and in particular, a possible renewed attempt to permanently de populate the north gauze. is it realistic to suggest that the error plan to put forward a rebuilding plan for more than a gaza is it is a legitimate and reasonable alternative to the population. and if you do the populate northern gods or where to those people go so far. so c, as, as you know, when it comes to alternatives and we should never be talking about the need for an alternative to the population to force displacement because that's

a crime. we should never have top is conversation. but here we are. we all have in that conversation of the out of some it was input including out very clearly uh, both the, some granular details as well. but what are the phases how each part of dawson could be constructed? well that would require they put some numbers on that, but they made the point. these were important points to make. the ne, force displacement is absolutely unacceptable. that one has to do the west bank and gaza, the west bank as well. there was now oh, there was now over $40000.00 would be displaced and nothing yahoo proudly assaulted in that same connected speech. this is the largest is ready minute trip ration in the west bank states. the taking of the west bank in 1967. so you do have an alternative what you also have is the us president who

may not return to it, but that's why he hasn't worked it back. and who is thoughtful with this displacement. you have these rating government elements of which have been very clear to that. that overall goal is to finish the job of ethnic cleansing, palestinians. we want to do a history class, but while i was being used in gaza, living in refugee camps in the past, i just because of previous displacements, the not the previous rounds of estimates, cleansing the danger. i would suggest in that combination of an extremely midst of environment created by the us, an extremely radical ideological inbox is or is it, if israel does resume its assault on golf, i think there's good reason to do that in the knolls. there would be be a declared intent of permanent be taking the gaza as the price policy use. this

would be these ready positions, right? you would pay for october 7th. and then if you push palestinians into central and southern gaza, you have an even more crowd is impossible environment not to be seen as a pre cast to pushing about. bob graham is really important history. we've seen the palestinians, understand what displacement means. we've seen that resilience, we've seen the surrounding countries st. and if they have a right to return any where they have a right to tons of their homes, this is me now east side as well, but they're not coming here. by the way, if you want to turn jordan and egypt into resistance theories aside and go about doing it. and there's a real question whether inside just raise the sides. we distributions not around how well we should treat the palestinians. but around how far a week ago, well, the reserves show up like right, and again, will be calling me survive. so i'm not sure is read is capable of sustaining this when it is setting itself up. as a revisionist power that threatens stability across the region, right?

and this isn't a region that china easily accept by the end of yeah, daniel, i just got a minute left in his powerful discussion. but i want to ask you about whether is real is all on board with this or their weaknesses inside is real that we should be aware of as this onslaught is being threatened again as your you see the piece deal, the ceasefire deal i should say hanging by a thread, what are the things on the in a minute if we can. yeah, and that's important to point out because inside these route, the central gravity of course, has been this issue around these ladies helping us answer the question. the, this is no, nothing you always priorities. so when you see people mobilized, it's primarily around. but i think it speaks to a deep in the lives of a social contract. having been broken in the wild type of service was handled. we've had his rated commission of inquiry by the different military organ. no, so i mean the political actual, as b is rate political system has not yet turned around and said, there's a deeper problem here of root cause you and i remember steve when he came to asking

the questions in america about the roswell congress commission to new rock will studies that look to close the conversation about root causes isn't happening, but the ability of society to sustain this also, i think, is, is beginning to reach its crashing point. right. fascinating. well, daniel lee, the president of the us middle east project, i always appreciate your candor and for you being with us today. thank you so much . i that is so good to be what you say. so what's the bottom line? the fear that my guess, daniel, we expressed in his testimony before the un security council that the future of guys that will be defined by a 0 sum approach is extremely important. is that framing has already taken hold of the highest levels of us government backing is real. what this means is that the future of gauze is now dictated by arrows who see a future with kaiser with palestinians, but with many of the governance issues unresolved. and on the other side is real

and the current press, united states, seeing most of gaza, permanently de, populated by the palestinians. now living there, they're not seeing the future. we're both israel, east and palestinians are both in these lands, coexisting. the story of israel and gas of these last 18 months has been tragic. one of horrors on both sides and of now the annihilation of not home us, but rather a palestinian schools, hospital shops, community centers, indiscriminate killing, our palestinians, so many of whom are innocent men, women, and children, and the solutions to the crisis. now, at the end, the phase one of the agreement and efforts to move to phase 2 are incredibly fragile. and in my view, i'm likely to take hold mostly because those with the guns and bombs want to keep shooting them and dropping them. the met a story here is about the 0 sum outcome. levy worries about the outcome potentially with 0 guidance in gaza. and that's the bottom line.

the between 201120138 syrian military police defect to code named caesar collected thousands of photographs of debt and torch and civilian detainees. i said to do was sent to a department to watch me off to fling, syria is, sees a file saved his testimony to the extreme brutality of the asset regime, which was really attorney between good and i'll just very well presents an exclusive interview with caesar as he reveals his identity and tells his dramatic story. these are on last, on out his era the

i'm the ways of helping the endo hall, the top stories on now just a route as well has known. this is sending a delegation to cancel or on monday to try to with phone calls a ceasefire and caps of exchange tools. capital has been helping to mediate the deal between isabel and how much the 1st phase of deceased by a and count to the exchange deal expired a week ago. there's no agreement on when the 2nd phase will begin, it's meant to lead to a permanent end to the will. families of these way the captives held and gone several quoting on prime minister benjamin mitchell.
