7:02 pm
of humanity with the knots of crimes against the jews. people on this. ready of germany and europe, i must have it with my friends that the savage we, that we witnessed perpetrated by the almost motors coming out of gaza were the worst crimes committed against jews since the holocaust. and this is what germany's task our shots have to say. the vision is what is the security of israel and its citizens is gem. and the reason estate is i'm like the german government acts according to this principle and it's supported in, based by parliament across the party spectrum. i mean, it is important for me to stay this today in this difficult time and no clarity is not as jeremy's history are historic responsibility originating from the holocaust . and it makes the duty to protect the existence and security of israel,
7:03 pm
and somebody's decide to start to see. so let's talk more about this when the data is chief political editor, mikaela, customer, who has been following that presser. hi mckayla. i'm both schultz and yahoo! mentioning and invoking the holocaust that feels deeply important. can you tell us what you made of their comments just now as it was a historical moment? whatever comes next and here we see the country from just stuff of the largest loss of jewish life since that whole, the cost and, and the, today's top stuff, the nation that we're the profit. traces of the whole, the cost of standing together against home us and it was a very striking power though from bonham and us and yahoo was there that he basically referred to hamas as a new nazis as a reincarnation of the hispanic state. putting it into a more contemporary of reference there, and germany's response has been since that's attacked by him us, but this was now delivered in person by the german casa,
7:04 pm
that the security of israel is germany's and stats. because all it is the fundamental principle of the german states and, and this is something what i've sold as the 1st major leader visiting here. what's to breathe life into also by ensuring israel. that if it requires assistance, germany will be at someone who looks at you know, whatever they need and you get to provide assistance as required. so we've got a small peek into what the 2 leaders spoke about before that press conference. i'm schultz said that he spoke to netanyahu about how to get humanitarian aid to civilians and the besieged cause of strep, and that he was going to raise the topic with the egypt presidents as well. what should, what would you make of those comments? i think this gives us an idea of the coordinates of germany's role and, and as of a country that is keeping tiles of communication open with everyone and trying to into israel. and it being safe by talking to and
7:05 pm
to lead us who can allow for humanitarian assistance because the major challenges actually to get humanitarian assistance into gaza. we so was it a funded line the youtube commission present announced that that would be flights of out of egypt into gaza. this is still very unclear how this would technically actually take place. but also the german tanza while assuring israel that it will fit, stand by its side and basically cooling on israel and to and prevents on necessary loss of life. not in as many words, but by really drawing attention it to the humanitarian situation. that is basically provides the suffering that is taking place in gaza as we speak at this moment in time. yeah. now of course there's been a lot of concern about regional spillover from this conflicts. but i thought one thing that was noticeable for the fact that it wasn't mentioned in this press
7:06 pm
conference for the names. uh iran and has bla. why do you think that they didn't bring them up here? it's interesting that the service hosted chose not to pull them out previously. also there was a driven french meeting between him and the amount of them i call on demand them. i called briefly a tweeted or ext, an a message that included iran. it was been deleted. so in here you see germany, the europeans treading very cautiously, but he did clearly mean iran ad has blah out of lebanon. and the immediate threat, of course being has beloved joining and turning this into conflict, where is well have to fight at 2 different fronts here. and that is something the german chancellor was to help prevent. and that's also why we see him at travel on antiques, 80 more than hinted at many calls that he's already made. so this was a hugely symbolic moment, a historic moment. you've called it. i'm curious if we know what kind of actual support as well can now expect from germany after this trip by schultz. okay, well quite clearly this,
7:07 pm
this pledge of political support. but what we do know is that germany lease to drones of from israel, which were supposed to be transferred to germany at some point in time. they will now remain where they are. and that is a form of assistance. and initially it was a request from the is ready for, i'm munition for some of the navy ships and they've, since basically canceled that. and it seems that these release of rely much more on concrete assistance from the americans with whom they show sarah, lot more and defense systems. so that doesn't seem to be the case for now. but clearly we for the german chancellor say time and time again that he is checking in with him and this and you all the time time again, or what assistance germany may provide as it has already provided and medical equipment and medical materials so far. well, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is a date of use chief political editor mckayla customer. we really appreciate your time. the earlier the chancellor match with it came up to the in berlin. the
7:08 pm
leaders discussed the humanitarian situation in the cause, a strip and how to prevent further escalation between israel and a mazda in garza, the jordanian leader warrant against palestinian refugees being pushed into egypt and jordan, calling this a red line the jordanian kings dress the need for aid to alleviate suffering of civilians on both sides. but he said that you made a tearing issue must be dealt with inside gaza and the west bank. that is a red line because i think that is a plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create defacto issues on the ground. no refugees in jordan, no refugees in egypt. this is a situation of shipments here and i mentioned that has to be dealt inside of as a and and, and the west back not to try and push the palestinian challenge and the future on to other people's shoulders. well, how mos which they knew us as an arab states label
7:09 pm
a terrorist group of dr. nearly 200 people during their massacre in israel. the mother of one french is riley hostage has made a desperate plea for her daughter's release. i didn't know she's there. i live until yesterday. all i knew is that she's may, might be kidding up. um, i'm begging the world to bring my baby back home. she only went to a party to a festival party to have some fun. and now she's you guys the as i spoke to dw senior international correspondent, funny for char in tel aviv last, or how israel can insure the safety of hostages in gaza. while it is also bombing garza, these roads facing a huge dilemma. their aims is to outcome us. minutes is the key thing, but at the same time they're confronted with the fact that a must
7:10 pm
a vast tunnel system you're talking about and on the ground city basically of see 100 can meet. so don't tunnels and the entrances to these tunnels i close to schools close to hospitals in a very densely populated area. and in that tunnel system now i'm not only minutes in and the people with them, but also apparently also the hostages. and this is the dilemma is royce facing now they did say that everyone can basically show leave the northern part of calls or to what to solve a full advocation basically about it that itself poses a huge danger for police. see me. and so the people who need to leave now, because once they are trying to eat that deluxe fuel to little people are trying to leave from the most of the cells on foot. but once they get to the cell, what is going to happen to them? the only opening to the world that could become an opening is the russell border crossing with egypt, but that remains close. and yes, we do hear that the us and use while are talking about some will try to create so called saved zones into cells, but also trying to get it in. but at this point,
7:11 pm
there's nothing precise about these plans and things are getting worse. body l for the people as the soaps own going. so urgently there is the, the, you and he's calling for a to get in. and obviously the people who are protesting here behind me are calling for the really use of this hostages. yes, as we've seen, it's not just as rarely. there are also many foreigners among the hostages. what kind of role are foreign governments playing here and trying to secure their release? but 1st and foremost, they're coming here to israel to express is solely diet. and at the same time, trying to gather somebody who's trying to get some information actually, who in the you just said only here in each other, but in other countries feeds a cutoff. for example, the surgery of you who in the region can help to negotiate become a militants and try to help relieve those hostages. for example, cuts are already offer the top very early on since october 7th, because obviously control our be one of the main financial back requirements
7:12 pm
militants have very close fall into context with, with, with the tires, organization. the question is about whether, whether they will be able to help and relieve those hostages before a potential ground defensive thoughts or any offensive. because as we're hearing the one of the sports person of a i, the, if you're seeing now it doesn't necessarily actually have to be around defensive, it could be anything else. so there are a lot of things that are really, that remain unclear. so if it remains unclear what is happening exactly right now with those hostages, that that trap just like to pull a cd and people in gaza strip and finding us present, joe biden, arriving in israel tomorrow. what can we expect from his trip to where you flip solidarity us so the dirty or with israel? something that obviously your secretary said fine and, but also your secretary state blinking excuse me, has a, as dawn on, his mealy store that keeps continuing as well as the us secretary of, of,
7:13 pm
of defense has been here in as well as well. but also obviously that visit that expect to visit by president, abide and here in israel is another way to show the tourist making sure that for example, this is spelled out militants and live on on. but also the iran do not get involved to make sure they see a solution here, before the conflict may be widening in finding river protests where they're behind with assigned things. first, bring them home, we're referring to the hostages. thank you so much for your reporting. there in tel aviv uh that is d w's funding. such are to 2000 to 800 people have died in the gaza strip, including dawson's in the south where israel told civilians from the north to shelter or 8 work or say the territories on the verge. of collapse, as it runs out of essentials. in time neighborhoods raise to rumble is rarely strikes. continue to flatten buildings across garza,

7:15 pm
evacuate by. israel. mediators have so far failed to negotiate a ceasefire that would allow foreigners to leave garza, they only pulled into egypt for many, it is a difficult wait for them to come to the board of crossing every day. and we contact the embassy every day, and they tell us to go to the crossing. we wait for up to 8 hours and then we go back up with you and you use dangerous men if you want to solve this problem so that we can travel off in and out of itself according to us, secretary of state on 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. time that is running out for the thousands of thousands quote and the growing humanitarian crisis. for.
