the lucky buttons with the most commercial flights in and out of israel. now suspended, they were evacuated from the port to the high side found for cyprus our flights were all cancel found out. within a day or 2, we realize we didn't have a flight. so we were waiting to see what would happen. and we felt pretty safe where we were. meanwhile, the blockade of the gaza strip remains in place over a week off to the attacks. as israel continues to pound cause that from the ad. as well as from the see ahead of an expected ground invasion. the minutes have you build up, continues to increase on the cause and border in the north. several communities are being evacuated near the border with 11 on the army stepped up. it's the trails of the area across the board. a shilling between is riley and has been lot forces

mazda gaza. so the, the, the, the sound of these because there's a viola low make cause a force due to evacuate, building outside people on the streets around this kind of broken bow. and to set this time with the ground invasion expected imminently. a no diplomatic solution in sight. this looks like the new normal hair, at least to the for see of the future. well for more i'm joined now by fear us mike side, middle east experts senior fellow on director of strategic outreach at middle east institute. he joins me from washington dc. go to have you on the job or hear news. so us secretary of state, anthony blink and his health talks with israel, united. so the us president joe biden will travel there on wednesday. how much hope
3:08 am
does this give of the escalation to? well, some, but not much. it's very clear that the us administration did not want to invest the prestige of the presidency of having, as in biden, on the ground. and israel without the least securing salting sessions from the israelis. so what we've heard today, and this information is still very luminary, is that there is an agreement on humanitarian aid opening a few minutes are in court, or that would provide some relief for the citizens of guys that have been under siege an epic trap. suffering with no water, no electricity in my medicine is running out. so the president will be on the ground in israel. but you will also go to jordan, where he will meet the king of jordan, the president of passing in authority and as well as the president of egypt. i think that the american a here is very clear. israel has the right to defend itself is something that we keep hearing in washington, not a call for the escalation, but an attempt to can mean the conflict. there is real concern of a 2nd front,
3:09 am
possibly a 3rd front in this war in lebanon, and syria, with his bottle and run also playing a role incredibly complex to say the least, i fear, as russia as draft resolution that called for a to monetary and cease fire has failed, the web security cancel. brazil has also proposed a resolution that calls for humanitarian pauses. what chances are there for a resolution being agreed to now much but i do believe that the brazilian draft has a better chance than that of russia. the russians, ralph didn't even need to be told. it was only able to muster 5 boats out of the 15 on the un security council. of what's clear from a western perspective is that a call from a ceasefire right now? wouldn't mean that essentially from us was able to strike, extract the very heavy title in terms of israeli civilians and largely get away from it, at least from a western perspective. and that's why in the us,
3:10 am
the button restriction has essentially sent out a memo to american diplomats asking them not to use the words ceasefire or de escalation anytime soon. there's a clear, green light for israel to conduct a ground out racing against from us right now. thanks. verizon, pharaoh's max of middle east expert joining us from washington dc. let's take a look at what some other developments in the conflict german chancellor or shelves as confirmed. he'll visit israel and to show solidarity following him on his terror attacks. shouts will fly to israel on choose day, making him the 1st world leader to visit the country since the attacks. the chancellor will then travel on to egypt and to assess these humanitarian situation in the gaza strip. a huge european union has said it plans to launch or humanitarian aid card or to guys of egypt, european commission president, or is it a funder line?
3:11 am
says the 1st flights to egypt will begin later this week. she says that the you will also have triple 84 civilians in gaza, 275000000 euros. they were, brings from as i suspect they've done and remains that large following and alleged her attack in the belgian capital brussels. 2 swedish citizens were shocked at late on monday. the city is now on the country's highest terror alert. witnesses have been describing the moment when the attack happened. we were just walking down the alley as i just finished a work meeting, right. and then there was a person wearing a fluorescence owens fast. i'm sure i'm just, i'm still in shock because it's the 1st time i've seen a shooting like that. and then the guy was screaming, and at one point i just had gunshots and i stood to ensure that the was frozen, in fact as cross live now to brussels, where dw correspondence heard shoals as standing by 1st terry great to see. so what's the latest that you can tell us?
3:12 am
what pablo, the belgian capital is still on lock down. we're all being urged to stay in our homes and not to travel unless it's absolutely necessary this after the attack, as you mentioned, that so 2 swedish citizens shot dead and a 3rd wounded outside this soccer match between belgium and sweden. now it took many hours for authorities to evacuate that stadium. they weren't sure they could do it safely. as the shooter is still at large, they told everyone on the swedish side to remove any signs of being sweden supporters. and then they escorted them back to their hotels under police guard and told them that there would be a continued police presence at their hotel. so really nerves are really are really frayed here in brussels tonight. that sounds a terrifying terry. now what do we know about the shooter, which you saw that there were witnesses to this and people
3:13 am
have identified him on social media as a 45 year old man. who was known to authorities for being radicalized. i'm not going to share the name. there is dw, has not independently confirmed any of these details. but the rest of the federal prosecutors held a short press conference earlier this evening in which they gave some details about what they knew of the shooter. included as to whether this evening, a claim was made on social networks and recorded by a person presenting themselves that the attack of this person claims to be inspired by the islamic state. oh, cool. during this same claim to the swedish nationality of the victims is mentioned to this as a probable motivation of the authorities have raised the terror alert to its highest level. so what does that actually mean for people in brussels and actually in belgium,
3:14 am
that the shooter may have been inspired by the islamic state brings back a lot of bad memories for brussels. having suffered through both the parents attacks and the brussels attacks perpetrated by followers of islamic states. so again, as i said, people are quite nervous around here. now the european union, the european commission, has asked its workers to stay at home to tell her work. they both have closed their schools, the flemish schools, the, the, the speaking schools have also been closed for tomorrow and we are waiting on a decision from the french authorities. so there is still asking everyone to stay at home as long as this perpetrator remains at large. pablo, thanks, terry. do say stay, stay safe. uh, terry schultz in brussels force. right, you're watching the w news live from berlin. here's a quick reminder of our top story. residents of guys are rushing towards the roof of border crossing and the hopes of making it across into egypt. human rights groups have been calling for
