ah! i'm the go foolish. welcome to the program. the fire between israel and hamas lead palestinian militants and gaza continues to hold as addiction mediators meet with both sides. to firm up the truth, thousands of displace palestinians have started to return to their homes and humanitarian aid has begun flowing into gaza. but 8 groups say the damage done to the enclave could take years to rebuild. pensions remain high and boiled over at a key religious site and jerusalem. the despite the cease fire fighting still broke out at the ox mosque in jerusalem is really police fired stun grenades and tear gas while pal me and hurled rocks. they had

earlier been celebrating in the streets, waving palestinian and hamas flags. that site was also one of the flash points that triggered the recent hostilities between israel and hamas. people on both sides are taking stock now after the regions, worst conflict in years. the palestinian ministry of interior and gaza has asked for international help to restore life to normal in the area. much of interest structure is damage, including the headquarters of the interior ministry itself. the cease fire carries no preconditions and leaves the conflicts t disputes unresolved. both sides claim victory. they say that the citizens of israel, with whom i would like to begin by thanking you for the bravery and impressive brazilians you showed in the 11 days of the operation of the anatomy. so this allowed us to achieve the goals of the operation with an exceptional success.

you'll go from in the shopping for the sleeping in the palestinian people. and the blush resistance will neither retreat nor be stopped at any time and will continue its path, crawling towards jerusalem. and the tensions are still high, but at least military attacks have ceased. it has to be done, to be honest with you because of the bloodshed that children were killed and the innocent women, everyone, every sean has a value. so this has to be done so. so finally there is a ceasefire here. hopefully there will be peace in the country, so i'm sick of this mess will color, but i got the yes, it's a kind of piece for now. fragile,

but one that wouldn't need much to be shattered. speak. now, how are corresponding, tonya kramer who is in gaza city tanya, good to have you with us. it's day to after rocket stopped hailing down on gaza. you've been talking to people there. is there any sense of live returning to normal? while the scene on friday, many people heading home, etc, those people who were at this place where fully 2 to 3 to 6 shelter in you and schools, several 1000 heads to free from their homes. and they were of course, assessing that them is coming home. some of them found the house is to be so damaged that they can't live in them anymore. other had smaller damages and of course other searches went out after 11 days picking up the pieces after 11 days of bartman bombardment, his gaza. but also being fired into the south of israel there by checking on the

neighborhood. there were checking on on the damage and destruction in the city, then mixed feelings among people. on the one hand, you have the narrative, your narrative of victory. on the other hand, there are people saying that the call on the 1000000 population has been very high . and people of course, very, very, what is said to come, as you know, the underlying is not address. focus is now i'm getting aid to bomb shattered gaza . what can you tell about humanitarian efforts where you are? well, i think the damages and destruction is still assessed by the humanitarian organizations . here in garza, we also know that some countries have already pledged with humanitarian h to come in. and we saw on friday for the shipment of you many to carrying a coming in through chem salon. that is the main crossing for goods from israel

into garza. but i think that one of the main issues would be the rebuilding of cause. and that would be rather complicated because it's very strict building material coming into garza because it might be useful for to use for the, for the building of tunnels, for example. and of course the scene after the war in 2014, that there was a special mechanism to deal with this issue because most of the international community also doesn't you directly with us. who is willing garza tony. grandma, thank you very much for your update. from casa city, tony rose on it is with me now. she's a w journalist and an expert on middle eastern affairs. shawnee, welcome to the program. tension is still running high. what needs to happen for this truce to really hold? well, it seems like both sides want to hold that, you know, we need to keep in mind behind every thing we see it's intent and we see the political intent on both sides to start or to bring upon this escalation was high

and now they understand. they got all they could have gotten from this from this round of conflict and they need to keep it down and seems like it's going to hold for now. but we, we need to be cautious and them, and least, you know, both sides have been claiming victory after the last round of fighting. but really, are there any winners in the, if you ask the people counting the dads and, you know, burying their families, then there's never any victory in a war. but how much on his side has seemed victorious right from the very 1st rocket shot at jerusalem. you know, bringing together the connection between what's happening in a locks the mosque after israeli police forces rated and stormed the good luck the most during ramadan states. and so for him to make that linkage between between itself as the leadership of the passing in people as the defender of jerusalem for them that's already victoria. and they have managed a very strong with their, with their offensive on israeli targets throughout the 11 days of this operation. so for them does great achievement on that side. the israelis, on the other hand,

you know, they want to claim victory by having shown, you know, their resilience and so on. but, but it's clear to everybody that this is not going to make any size, make changes to what we're seeing, the dynamics underground. if you want to see something changing on the long term, that's gotta be more there's gotta be talk, that's gotta be aid. far more to make this sustainable. let's talk about the situation in the west bank because that is where most palestinians live. how has this latest escalation reverberated? there we've seen for months, a great success and making the lincoln to jerusalem as we just mentioned. that means a getting a lot of support from the west bank. andrews, when palestinians in the last days of the operation during the whole time, we've been focusing on gaza. but in the west bank they have been 20 casualties. 10 people lost their lives in clashes with israeli forces. so and we've seen yesterday in the celebrations in the box, the mass we see come off flags. this is not a common site is least to be used to be very rare sight because the west bank to

islam will always buy, you know, ruled by the dominance of the palestinian authority. hum monthly there. she was not as strong as potter is in the west bank. so what we seeing now, and the biggest fear of israel would be seeing things flowing up in the west bank. and that would make things far more complicated. for now, it seems to be under control, but it's the tension is quite high still, you know, last thing. where do you see the situation going from here? well, the key would be how do, how to, for israel, the americans, for the west bank leadership of the palestinians, that is the palestinian authority. how can they regain control over the situation? and that means how can they be, can hum hours and aid seems to be the main key here. what the americans are trying to do may be with the support of the emma rates, for example, who are now connected israel normalized pies with israel last year. doing the abram

accords they will try to see if there's a way for them to control aid in the way it, you know, it's, it's being channelled into infrastructure development in gaza with the help of the west bank leadership of foster. and that will help strengthen that leadership. we've never been as weak as we see it now. and it will have gardens of course, and hopefully americans is really hope that it will also help weaken hallmark hallmark on it, on the other hand, is backed by cutter. but you're on, but that axis that is straight, it's giving great money and helping them gain weapons and build infrastructure. that axis is, is a common old axis between sooner, forces and more forces in the arab muslim world. it's not a conflict. it's going to go away so fast. so soon. shawnee resign is. thank you very much for your analysis. thanks. let's turn now to some other stories making headlines at the sour nigeria top ranking army commander abraham,
