8:02 am
in time neighborhoods raise to rumble is rarely strikes. continue to fucking buildings across garza, on the ground, 2 and rough uh. the scramble to rescue people trapped onto the day bree off to a recent strike, demolished an apartment building, rushing the injured to hospital, and lining up the bodies of those kills outside the mood. residents here say they have no way to go with. no electricity, no water, no internet, no not peace, no milk. but even if we die from hunger, we will stay here and we will not leave. in 5 days, we witnessed bones full on houses, corpses in the street. we fled to the you and school. we thought it was safe,
8:03 am
but they targets dead and people died. thousands of people from across goes that have left the homes and headed south to rough uh, in recent days of to being told to evacuate by israel. mediators have so far failed to negotiate a ceasefire that would allow foreigners to leave goza at the only pulled into egypt for many, it is a difficult wait while he comes to the bowl, the crossing every day, we contact the embassy every day, and they tell us to go to the crossing while we wait for up to 8 hours and then we go back up with you and he is dangerous when we want to solve this problem so that we can travel off in and out of itself. according to us, secretary of state and to me blinking america and israel have now agreed to develop a plan that would allow a to reach garza but working out the details will likely take time
8:04 am
time that is running out to the thousands of thousands quote and the growing humanitarian crisis, the ws tanya? cuz a my joins us now from the southern is riley city of ashfield atanya. um the us in israel all saying that they will work on a plan to get a humanitarian aid into gaza. do we have any suggestion of when and how this might happen? no, we don't. at the moment, it is unclear when this will be implemented of the us secretary of state antenna blinking was here and you know, very intensive days for him. here he was shuffling between countries in the middle east coming back on monday again too, as well. and they were had to having an almost 8 hour meeting and hammering out to this kind of plan. there was a readout saying to develop a plan that will enable human is her in age to civilians. and also this talk about
8:05 am
the possibility of creating areas where people are out of homes way. but it's not clear, you know, so close safe zones and most likely in the, in this house of cause i wasn't really specified, but it's not really clear how and when this will be implemented. the costs of crossing with egypt is still close at this point. and uh, we are also seeing uh from the, um, uh, it's really on me. they put out a statement saying that i had targeted more than 200 targets over the past 24 hours . uh there was also sporadic rocket fi last night, again into uh, southern israel also to its uh, the biggest it is tele vive. so, um it is this at the moment no indication of when such a plan would be implemented. okay, so i've say lots of details still to be worked out. and as you was saying, anthony blink 10 has been in israel in the region. he reiterated the united states
8:06 am
and on waiver and support israel. but when he was back in israel, on monday off to visiting these other countries, how much did he push concerns about goals and civilians? to was thank you has several aims and that on this, this visit. on the one hand, we're talking about the small more talk about obviously the dia really dire human parents situation for the civilian population in golf. and this is why the us is trying to push for this plan, trying also at the same time to get there a nationalist or do a national out of the gaza strip. because that's also assigned to move some of this population out. but that doesn't concern, of course the rest of the policy is who will be staying and garza, even if there's a ground defensive starting at some point. there's also the, the issue for us of securing the to some kind of mediation or securing the release of the hostages, and some of them are us nationals. and also we understand,
8:07 am
of course, part of these talks and the, this, the kind of shuttle diplomacy concerns, you know, the, the really concerned 5 of us if this could be kind of why the region. and this is also why we most likely see of that was confirmed that the u. s. president uh joe biden will arrive here, which is kind of unprecedented in a very refreshing active war, a situation in east west where he will also certainly make the point to know about the humanitarian situation of the hostages. and also this concern that this why it might be widening into abroad or conflict, possibly with hezbollah in the north, which is backed by a wrong w son, yet claim a reporting from southern israel. thank you, tonya. or okay, we're going to get the military perspective now for mike mos in the military on the list and a senior fellow at kings college london. good. see mike,
8:08 am
now we know the israel is on the verge of the ground offensive against gaza. it was announced several days ago. it hasn't happened yet. besides political reasons, can you give us a sense, um, you know, all the military reasons for this delay. as i think as for the 2 things i would like to have. the 1st is that israel has tripled the size of his army. in the last weeks it cooled up 300000 reserves, and nobody has an army of about a 150000. and it takes time to process those people, make sure they go to equipment, make sure they're organized, make sure that trainings up to date so that it's so takes a long time. and then the other thing i'd point to is the complexity of the operation or any operations that they might be intending to carry out in gaza. i wanted to ask you specifically about the challenge, is that israel bull face,
8:09 am
if it launches a ground invasion because it's, it's, it wouldn't be easy. would it know? and you know, the cause of the strip has over $5000.00 people per square kilometer in the united is a population density. and they lived in a, you've seen from the photos just in your package that a high rise of into rain, which is pretty much perfect for defenders. so how much, you know, as we know they've built extensive tunnels, but they will be organized. somebody in the complex attack that they carried out last out today was sophisticated was as sophisticated as it was at pulling and they will be defending in a similar manner. unsafe israel to move into the oven area where people can fly down on you. people could ambush you from sellers in cobb parks is extremely difficult. terrain to operate. the un is repeatedly warning about the the
8:10 am
awful humanitarian situation. the people in gaza. is it actually possible israel to follow the laws of war and minimize that? i mean, given the more than 200000000 civilians the it, it depends entirely on what type of operation is all decides to carry out. so its aim is to destroy the how much leadership site, if it goes in, in, in a sort of counter terrorism style, small writing policies, taking out specific targets. then of course, it is possible to draw ju, distinction between miniature and spinning targets. but so far, what we've seen is mass aerial bombing, and then there is talk, you know, as we've been talking about this, this druids, ground defensive in the area. and i think it would, those types of operations. it is very difficult if not impossible, to drill jew distinction between military and civilian targets. and that, of course, is the key thing that you need to do if you want to follow the international the,
8:11 am
the rules of will looking at and this one the us has clearly one does rail against the long term occupation of the gaza strip. do you think that this is something the israel is considering and it's planning? i'm sure off the putting events with us. that's a israel has considered many options, but from a minute cheapest. spect is a long time occupation of the cause and strip might require helps 82800000 is riley soldiers. that's. that's about how the israel a regular army. so not there was a passion but the full time on me. and i think it's inconceivable that it would commit half of its force to gauze a when it has all the other operational requirements, like in the north, with lebanon, of course, in the west bank as well. so i expect that it's highly unlikely that as well, we'll go in for a long time, occupation of the goals and strip night. thank so much really interesting to get
8:12 am
your perspective is that those might moss in from king's college one to thank you. thank you. the tenants take a look at some of the other developments in this complex and the german chancellor will i'm sure it's has confirmed that he will visit israel in her show of solidarity following the almost her attacks show it's will slice israel on tuesday, making him the 1st will lead us to visit the country since the attacks, the chancellor will then travel to egypt to assess the humanitarian situation. in the goal is to strengthen the line. your opinion says it plans to launch a humanitarian aid cargile to gauze in via egypt. european commission, president of left on the lions, says the 1st flights the agent will begin later this week. she says the you will also triple 8 civilians and garza to 75000000 euros. they will bring to many turn goods. now, man hunt is underway in belgium. after a suspect to tara attack, police are looking for gunmen who shot dead to swedish nationals and injured
