9:02 am
doing the best with limited space resources to treat them. hundreds of people died in the last ali hospital where many palestinians had been seeking refuge in recent days from the continuous selling bias, ro, deterrent organization. how most blamed is real for the attack. but the idea is denying responsibility. intelligence from few sources that we have in our hands indicates that the slavic jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch, which hid the hospital in garza. i repeat, this is the responsibility of the slimy jihad that killed innocence in the hospital in garza. but the palestinian millison group is nomic jihad say the i know behind the explosion, the palestinians in the west bank. so blame israel to the hospital last
9:03 am
couple days into protest in ramallah, just hours later, price to install a darcy with palestinians and goals that took place in jordan, lebanon, iraq, denisia came to the menu, spend 30 minutes, we won't remain silent team. this is a message for all arrow, but non arab countries moves them or not. we will not be silent. we support the palestinian calls and we're against what's happening in gaza. and the new see of the 3 of you have the the hospital explosion say prompted palestinian president mac mood, abbas to cancel his meeting in georgia and with us president joe biden. he says he needs to be in his home 9th,
9:04 am
during this big old you these really defense forces have just been giving a briefing about the hospital explosion. the idea says it's evidence as quote, confirmed islamic jihad was responsible for the explosion. and that there were no direct hits by israel on the hospital building. what's missing in this is the area of the hospital. okay. we are showing the parking lot and the hospital. okay. those are in red spots. this is not anything for red. so you can understand the better this is the parking lot. these are the parking lot . you can see the parking lot also now, in this picture, shown here. okay, after man, after the heat, there is no structural damage to the building of the was standing tact.
9:05 am
there are no craters here. all of the above, which i said no structural damage. the walls stay intact, no craters, these are, is that correct to rise? this shows that are not an aerial munition. that of hate the parking lot. we also have examples of hot air to ground mutation grid and looks like, as you can see, they do not exist in this instance. many a media outlets immediately before to verify the claims by some us. those were lies to spread by some us. i want to make something clear, it is impossible to know what's happened as quickly as from us claim they knew that was have that have that should have been an initial warning sign for many on lot of come us. the idea of launched an immediate examination,
9:06 am
which was over seen at the very highest levels of the month. these professional review was based on intelligence operation, intelligence, operational systems, and aerials footage, all of which, which we cross check the evidence, which we are sharing with you. oh, confirms that the explosion of the highly in my head dining hospital in garza was caused by any slumber jug rocket that is, was misfired and that was the chief spokes person for these really defense forces, giving israel's account of what happened at the hospital in guys well, you and chief antonio gets her, says he's horrified over the hundreds of deaths in gaza. he called for an immediate truce to allow he monetary and aid into the territory. he also called for the immediate release of hostages, filled by hum us,
9:07 am
or i saw sort of lead me to too many settings, these fires to provide sufficient simon space to help realize my slip use as we use the epic human suffering. we are witnessing to many lives and the sites of the entire region and on the bellows. well, the blast came just hours before us present. joe biden is set to touch down in israel as part of a diplomatic push to prevent the war. with some us from spiraling into a wider conflict. in a statement by the said, he had directed his national security team to gather information about the explosion. the u. s. president added find outraged and deeply side and by the explosion of the arab hospital in gaza and the terrible loss of life. the result of the united states stands unequivocally for the protection of civilian life during conflict. and we more and the patient's medical stuff and other innocence killed or wounded in this tragedy. but some of the plans in jordan was cancelled even before
9:08 am
the us presidents judge to call jordan's king abdullah and published a new president before the bus pulled out after news of the blast in gaza at that hospital, the i'm on summit was meant to bring together the leaders of the us, egypt, jordan, and the palestinian authority. let's see, it has affected the w senior international correspondent manufacture standing by force and telling the pony as we heard there, the us present has directed his national security team to investigate the hospital blast and gaza. how difficult is it going to be find they to establish what exactly happened there? this this is a very complex situation because one has to understand it is conscious toward it. these realistically, i've done that, i'm not submitted things, but there's also already an information for going on. so the statements that were deliver it now, but you throughout claiming that the stomach jihad is behind that terrible attack in gaza,
9:09 am
that apparently kills an estimated $500.00 people. it's completely wrong. can you just go to trust in this region? these are well when it comes to what they say is the proof that they are not behind it. and the same goes for the united states, a permanent permanent to the to yeah, i was expected to meet the president by the shape here be, i mean, this hotel. and the question is, what all of the building? what use, right. swearing, anything odd to me as quickly as possible. present what they think are fact it is, is the unclear just whole people here in the region are going to react to us in fact, egypt and also you guys are emory's ram on the 1st countries to condemn lisa tag blaine each route for these attacks. and gaza and one has to understand that you're in the united arab emirates, but also egypt. i'm on those countries that actually have from the ties with these well. so it's just unclear home from here. everything is going to evolve as you, as president biden is expected. now, here
9:10 am
a behind me how this entire situation with a pen, his visit will tell us more about the funny. how does this culture, the k biden's diplomatic effort to stop this conflict from escalating, as he came here to deescalate. but the only person that he's probably going to meet now is probably to send it to you all because that summit in jordan has been cancelled there. he was supposed to meet the deed as of jordan of egypt, and ahead of the police student, or sorry to miss the bus. so the question really is, what message message is it going to sent to the rules and us, president biden is only going to talk to problem. and his students in you out here in israel known in an effort to limit the full out somewhat from the change of his his plan is, is the why the housing felt that president, by the, is going to propose some vote tough questions to problem to students in yeah, which we got to what's going to happen is the next day in the next 2 weeks i had, is that going to influence is real strategy when it comes to an appearance, ground?
9:11 am
defensive. what impacts? what influence would the united states have during his visit? it's completely unclear, however, certainly, if there's any way uh for, for the united states of a positive impact on, for example, the russell border crossing the important crossing between egypt and gaza strip to open and to have an impact from a to come in to gaza strip to help for the people that the, that trapped it, that made the escalating one way or the other. but that's just at this point, it is simply very complicated. it's very, very difficult to say just in fact, what's the next hour i'm going to bring as you as president by then is expected here in tel aviv. funny, thanks for now. that was our senior international correspondent. funny punch are in telling me as well for more on presidential biden's trip to israel. i'm joined here in the studio by shawnee resolve. she's dw middle east analyst and is herself from is real. so show me uh, bigler arrive and israel,
9:12 am
reeling with the israel, reeling from a horrific attack. gaza, facing a humanitarian catastrophe, and anger reverberating across the middle east. what can president buying realistically hope to achieve with his best? well, she comes because he's constantly tried to send a message that the us a sending strong behind israel, but we need to keep in mind, this is not just a friendly visit netanyahu, and his government has had a, you know, before this all broke out have had very close relationship with, with, with vitamin has been is democratic administration, and we need to keep that in mind when we seen bite. and now in israel, he wants to make sure he reinforces, and he strengthens also the moderate voices. the board brought into the board cabinet. he wants to make sure israel is, is in line with a, a mary, because demands for humanitarian aid and so on. he, he does not fully trust the israel is mostly that the outside. so he wants to make
9:13 am
sure he's strongly there, you know, to keep, you know, to keep israel in line with the american demand for the mentoring support and so on . those talk about the attack on the hospital or the bomb, the blast at that hospital in guys. it's not yet been determine who was behind it, but a lot of anger is being directed. that is real. how is this affecting international support for israel and prospect for diplomacy? but we just saw these really idea of spokesperson. there is rarely, as i woke up to a morning, realizing this is a major front they need to, to, to, to, to handle not just, not just on the ground, but also a visa be the world and explaining deposition. trying very much to, to bring evidence to the fact that they don't find israel to be in fault for this. but rather step the militant group that is called the palestinian. um do you hide in? uh, is long as jihad is in garza, um it's, it's, it's makes things complicated. and the fact that the humanitarian crisis that was
9:14 am
already quite dire, you know, it is always of course, hard is undoubtedly regardless of who is in charge of who's in faults, but it's a tech, it makes things worse and it puts bigger pressure on israel when we're talking about the americans of the present, abiding himself coming in order to ensure that too many terry and crisis is being somewhat elevated. and we need to keep in mind for is really is that also goes in hand heads and hand with hospice. question for them, the top priority, when we talk about too many turn crisis in, in, in the cause of war. now it's also taken care of the $200.00 is really citizens including infant holocaust survivors, children kept by homeless and gaza. so is there anything in your opinion that the us president can do under these circumstances to de escalate the situation? well, he's quite limited. we see now that he's attempt to bring together an alliance of the moderate sunni countries, which includes egypt includes jordan,
9:15 am
countries that are bordering as well and have peace agreements with as well is, is not, is, is hard. it's hard because they themselves, the leaders of jordan egypt despite quite barely to liking of hum us cannot ignore the popular support that how much has among the people um, what, nothing. you know, what bottom might might try to bring forth is the saudi angle, which also is a complicated one. exactly. for the same reasons, the popular support for the pals thing is. but if the americans manage somehow to bring the saudis in, that's the biggest leverage. that's the biggest player in the middle east against the sunni shiite access. we're seeing a building up here shortly. thank you so much. that was shiny resolve this dw middle east, last as well. german chance all of schultz is in cairo for a meeting with egypt. president of the fall to i'll cc, he flew to egypt from israel, where his visit ended with a missile scare. the german delegation had to evacuate their aircraft due to rocket
9:16 am
attacks. aids and journalists hastily left the plain and were forced to take cover by lying down on the tarmac. the chancellor was driven to a bomb shelter. schultz and those flying with him were able to pour the plan a few minutes later after additional checks. german chancellor was in israel and a show of support for the country following the hum of terror attacks on the southern part of the country out a press conference with chancellor schultz following bilateral talks between the 2 leaders is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu describe the homeless attack as quote, the worst crime committed against jews since the holocaust will speak to our german political correspondent in a moment. first, here's a closer look of shots his day in israel on tuesday landing and tel aviv german chancellor, all of charles called at a visit to friends in difficult times during talks with his rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he expressed condolences to his room,
9:17 am
but also concerned over the broadening of the conflict is this may addition to she said, it's important for me to say this today should be in this difficult time. in all clarity, tortuga sheets. germany's history what historical responsibility originating from the holocaust, what makes it all duty to protect the existence and security of israel. so i just wish to never give them to my government just doing everything in its power to ensure that this conflict does not escalate. it is essential to prevent a conflagration in the region of the german chancellor pledged that his government we keep up its humanitarian commitments in regard to the civilian population. behind close doors, all actual ultimate relatives of german hostages, held by him us in gauze on the stage, the protest in front of the german embassy. they are demanding answers the phone with whom give you the information that we have. and i don't even want to say it out loud,
9:18 am
but some of them are probably already dead when we don't know that officially, and that's certainly a problem. when does, especially between probably all we want right now is the power below beth. tim's. and before, before everything to know their situation because we know nothing, we are in the, in the air. so we want to know their situation that they're being taken care of to his visit to israel schultz has flown to egypt where he will hold talks with president of the for the l. c. c. last mentioned chancellor charles was forced to seek shelter jr. uh, during an air alert and tell a beaver correspondent matthew moore has more 6. yeah, that's right terry. it was a fairly times and so this visit for tons of shots in the delegation and it was shortly before shots. his plane was due to head to cairo, the area, the alarms went off in tel aviv. and as we saw the passengers, including the german chancellor, where evacuated from the aircraft,
9:19 am
we saw the images of the traveling delegation taking cover on the tarmac and eye witnesses said he could see as real as iron dome into a set for all kits from where the where schultz was not among them on the runway, he was wished away to a secure bunk gun nearby. but terry, it wasn't just the one moment here with alarm seemed to throw the historic visit earlier in the evening. chance german sensor a search was to take shouts in a bunker and the german embassy. that was as he was missing the families of jam and hostages in gaza. and in the end, it just seems to be a stock reminder of the reality of everyday life. there at the moment the shots has moved on to egypt, which borders the gaza strip. but here what's all the chancellors agenda in egypt? so intense was going to meet with present. i'll see you this morning on the u. n. a coordinate coordinates of a, a and chiral. the re out, there are really 3 pirate priorities. the 1st one is to de escalate this to stop this for spilling into
9:20 am
a proto regional conflict. the 2nd is to encourage you jumped open. the rafa board that you mentioned there was a stand off there was renewed with israel unwilling to let eden from egypt and egypt unwilling to let people through from guys into egypt. egypt doesn't one large numbers of palestinian refugees arriving. so chancellor schultz will be trying to come unlock that, stand off and put some pressure on president, i'll cc. and finally it's about the hostages and guys of some of whom are german nationals. as we know on german times on the shelves, please, egypt can apply pressure on her mouth to secure their release. but ultimately last nights attack on hospital and guys will likely only make up that diplomatic solution all a bit harder to reach on all those issues. a database, matthew more here in berlin. thank you very much. now we're going to take a closer look at the border region between garza and and egypt surrounded by offense and with the is really border close. the only way out of ghost is the rough of border crossing with egypt. mediators are working to let desperately needed
9:21 am
a pass in through rough on allow for nationals and the wounded out. egypt said it was forced to close the border after is really strikes on october 10th and 11th and is working to reopen it. trucks carrying aid or heading to the border. but it's still unclear if they can cross. let's take a closer look at egypt. complex role in the current crisis, a neva, it's a gaza and israel. egypt holds a strategic and historical place in the conflict. cairo opposed to the formation of these riley 1948 and the 2 states. of course, several was sections of land passed back to the faults between flareups. egypt took control of the gaza strip when its quarters were 1st drawn in 1949, but less than 20 years. lisa israel claimed it during the 6 day war. at the same time seizing this united peninsula in 1979,
9:22 am
cairo was handed back the peninsula and the 2 states signed a peace deal. egypt became the 1st arab country to recognize the state of israel. the 2 nations have had mostly peaceful relations since and have cooperated on issues like security, past governments of mediation between israel and from us, which has historical ties to egypt. the militant islam as groups began, as opposed to me in branch of the muslim brotherhood, which was founded in egypt. the muslim brotherhood briefly held pow wow. up to the gyptian revolution in 2011. that was an ousted by current president of delta o. c. c. in a cool of the group has been outlawed in egypt when to despise cooperation with these rail sentiment amongst objections is largely fold. the palestinian coats and crowds in cairo has been rallying against these rails bombardments of gaza with an
9:23 am
election due in december. the government is standing sun on borders and security and says it will not allow a mass movement from gaza. egypt fee is a crude to become responsible for millions of palestinian refugees, like lebanon and jordan before it cairo who said palestinians should not be forced to flee. the lat does advocated for a 2 state solution. the government said it rejects the killing of any civilians. it is urged restraint and said israel's response to homos as terrorist attack now amounts to collective punishment. egypt is working to mediate, along with other international partners and to create a humanitarian lifeline for civilians and gaza and was cross straight over to cairo. we're a journalist, but here i mean is standing by the here. what role is egypt playing right now in
9:24 am
this extremely difficult situation? so egypt has been very clear in its rules during the current ordinance, which has been mainly 3 things. first just maintains its role as a mediator. it is called her p summit on saturday and kyra that should bring together regional and bro, caesar's if you just as you type is the 1st state to recognize israel. it's historically the key intermediary between israel and i'm kind, this is one of the few voices that both listen to and throughout the vitamins it's messages remain the same or it restrains call for an answer to the by and then search many periods a is a and the resumption of the political process, the lack of which he just has blamed for the loss of life, but we've seen since october 7th. it's 2nd drawing is also guarantor option. monetary and 8. egypt has maintained the importance of securing the passage of 8 through the crossing, which again, the only passage in and out of god's done on the control bye is there and it has
9:25 am
called 3 donors, states and organizations to send the eights in order and sign. i brought that age right to the board there, but that injury and was not guaranteed safe passage on the back 8 after 4 bombings of the front of the inside of the border crossing. unfortunately, photos, after the most recent strike on monday, showed quite significant damage to the road that those trucks that are racing on egypt inside of the for dirt ship for do you want me to take? it's 3rd role is as the proposed, tempting eventually become city and state in the sense that it has refused, as you've said to forest the mass exodus simians into its territory. and pet see feels that the different presence of a successful ccn class that's guidelines must remain steadfast and stay on their non and that is correct, attacked their homes and their rights at outlined on eventual goal the palestinian statehood. okay, now german transfer, all of shots is expected to meet the egyptian president today. what can we expect from that on so as, as, as you can and run the,
9:26 am
there's been talking to the region and they're kyra's talk over. they may have been focused on a for somebody trained situation is consistency, worsening, and you should expect to these meetings follow in a similar vein, but of course the pressure is outside the carnage in the hospital last night. okay . but here, i mean, in cairo, thank you very much for now. as you are watching dw news coming to you live from berlin, just reminder of the top story that we're following for you. this our officials in the gaza strip site. hundreds of people have been killed in a blast at a gallons. a hospital from us is and is really airstrikes hit the hospital. well is very little blames a misfired palestinians. rock the coming up. it's close up for the look at the hidden world of wild mushrooms.
