10:03 am
egyptian president i think it was terry, i think it was the 2 men, very much sharing come and go to avoid the escalation in the region, but coming out from different perspectives on the one on we had president i'll cc stretched the need for a solution of policy to deal with the palestinian question. and he said you are right the palestine not that these people have a right to their own state. any voice egypt concerns that there was a danger in pershing not polish to be in question to one side. on the other hand, we just had all our shots be strong and he said a few things were stick straight to me. one was the, the, the government both for came to to mitigate the suffering and gaza. we heard them talking about the need for she monetary need to get to, to reach kaiser. we have this, he said we, he and i'll see if you have a joint commitment to avoid a conflagration, a way to conflagration. and we also had miss chancellor serge stress. i gained the
10:04 am
one essentially all those from intervening in the conflict yesterday. he said aren't right, has blah do ron and not so he didn't say it to the but that's we would have been referring to there and he acknowledged egypt rule in the middle east and in this conflict as a mediator and, and he said as well that he spoke to, i'll cc about the hosted situation. we know that yesterday chancellor shot met with relatives of german hostages, who had been held in garza by the homeless terrorist. and he basically said that you wanted to see who the president of cc could apply pressure on them off to, to, to release those was hostages. so matthew, tell us more about what it is. the transfer schultz is actually hoping to accomplish in egypt. because of course, just before he went to egypt, he was already in israel meeting with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu.
10:05 am
yeah, the, i mean, the meeting in egypt really comes as possible of what you doing diplomatic effort from, from the, the germans last week. tons of shots spoke with the tardies about the situation the yesterday he met with in the morning with the king of dell, of the 2nd of jordan, who, who again, who we said that you know, that jordan had a, a role to play in this conflict. and yesterday he then went from that meeting was kind of jordan to israel. stress germany's vacuum for as real and said that germany was, is real side. and that was a very kind of a standard movement, frankly, that it would be a to them in terms of the be the 1st passion to, to travel to as well. so since the federal tax, the 1st head of government to do that again, also as well as, as well as saying that the human suffering has to be mitigated. he's very much on the side of israel and saying that israel has a right to defend itself. and that is, is he actually says it's in the interest and it is the obligation of
10:06 am
a government to defend the citizens. and that's how he sees it at the same time calling for as much to be done as possible to mitigate civilian casualties, right? then obviously today is egypt, and there it was. it was very much stressing the role of egypt as a mediator. there i'm trying to show that we ultimately we want to avoid different escalating beyond the borders of israel and gaza. matthew, thank you very much for now. that was our correspond at matthew moore. well, the us president joe biden has arrived in israel for talks with the is really president or prime minister benjamin netanyahu. air force one landed a short while ago in tel aviv, and president biden now faces a diplomatic scramble to prevent the war with time us from spiraling into an even larger conflict. finding is expected to push for allowing critical humanitarian aid into gaza during his meetings. with these really prime minister is real, has been preparing for
10:07 am
a potential ground invasion of guys in response to hum us as a tax on october 7th, which killed $1400.00 is rims. so let's bring in shawnee, rosanna, senior. she's our middle east analysts. shawnee, a talk to us about president biden's visit to is real. what's on his agenda? what does he hope to accomplish? well, 1st of all, this is a historic visit. you know, we, we nothing else was wanting for less than months of his, in his office to, to bring a button in. and of course, these are not the circumstances where he hoped to see a bite and coming to israel for so for the, for, for the american present to make it as well. so shortly after, you know, and while it's active fighting is going to force that sense. a wide message should, is really, is, will feel the support in the american american health. but also send secure messages is really leadership where here with you. and that means will give you what you need, but in return, you need to comply with our demands which focus mainly on the humanitarian
10:08 am
situation and goes on right now. nothing you know is going to find it hard to to is still, you know, fighting it with in his cabinet is ripening cabinets. but he knows he needs to comply with vitamins demands, or at least very strong at it. we're coming nations to, to let more you've been a tearing quarters to be built in garza to bring more relief to the cause of in the south of the strip. and this is the main topic on the agenda. he will have during the visit several encounters. first of all, one or one with the to know afterwards, he's going to meet the whole cabinet, the war cabinet that then you, i will form just last week. later he will meet the 1st responders in the front lines of israel to hear about their bravery. and the story and it also helps building so. okay, now, so we're seeing now how uh, biting is quick was leaving. he was the attempt was to keep him on the ground as
10:09 am
for his short, a time as possible in order to avoid any a threat by how much rockets on him. so he is now, you know, we've seen quite his convoy heading to tell a visa where his visit will be for the next 5 hours. after meeting with him is really the ship he will meet with the 1st responders to he give their stories. we have seen a bite and also taking last week and hour and a half to meet with hostages and their families online on zone. he will do that again today at india, and he will also meet these really president hitchcock hetzel talk to us about president binds relationship with prime minister enough in yahoo. this is present biden's 1st visit to israel since taking office. um, how difficult, how fraught is that relationship? well, i think everything we knew about that relationship up until suddenly october, 7th, up until the homeless attack was about the hostility to coolness. the suspicion between the democratic administration of,
10:10 am
by and by and who we know for over 40 years has been, you know, a strong supporter of israel. and then this and y'all, when his right through the government turning away and further away away from the solutions that the americans want to see for the region. solutions that include a 2 state solution solutions that include bringing more uh, and talks into the on the table, bringing the palestinian authority in. this is what we're seeing now. everything changed october 7th, and that means that for american interest, all that are still at the all the coldest we've seen, that's the relevant what they need now is to help as well. re gain its stature in the region to get its deterrence. and it's a defense act going and after that, maybe hopefully you find other solutions for the region that include also think about it and political solutions. now there's been this massive blast, an explosion, sion at a hospital in does a city that apparently has killed hundreds of people. this has drawn anger from
10:11 am
across the middle east. much of that anger is being directed at israel that we still don't know the exact circumstances of, of the explosion. how much is this complicating present, jo biden's, mission of diplomacy? well, i assume we will see in the minute they will start announcements. i'm sure he will address that as a 1st topic on the agenda. we have seen him already expressed on his way his, his sorrow for the lives lost and also the need the need for so investigation on it . but this is again connecting to who many turn situation that need to solve, but the is really, is, are very adamant in their claim. they have nothing to do that. and this is a result of an internal mis shooting of a messiah by posting and as long as jihadist. okay, shortly. thank you very much for now or middle east dental of shawny, ro rose on us well, as you heard the how much lead health industry in gaza says hundreds, they say 500 people have been killed in the last of the hospital in gaza. the
10:12 am
facility was filled with wounded patients and people seeking shelter. how much the terrorist a group that governs guys that says and is really airstrikes hit the hospital. but israel says the blast came from a rocket misfire by another published indian group islamic jihad shot and wounded on the survivors of the explosion that the alley hospital in gauze, the city which runs for to the nearby she for hospital where adult is 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
10:13 am
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 slot, make jihad that killed innocence in the hospital in garza. but the palestinian medicine group is nomic jihad say the i know behind the explosion, the palestinians in the west bank. so blame israel to the hospital last couple days into protest and ramallah, just always like to try to sorta darcy with palestinians and goals that took place in jordan, lebanon. iraq, denisia came to the menu, spend a minute,
10:14 am
we won't remain silent team. this is a message for all arrow but non arab countries. most of them are not sure yet. 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 moved abbas to cancel his meeting in jordan with us president joe biden. he says he needs to be in his home 9th, during this big old you well, these really defense forces had just been giving a briefing about the hospital explosion in gaza. the idea of says it's evidence. his quote confirmed to that islamic jihad was responsible for the explosion and that there were no direct. it's on the hospital building. what's listened to what the spokesman had to say. this is the area of the hospital. okay. we are
10:15 am
showing the parking lot and the hospital. okay, those are in red spots. this is not a need 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 that, there is no structural damage to the building to the was standing tact. there are no craters here. all of the above, which i said no structural damage. the walls stay intact, no craters, these are that correct to rise. this shows that are not an aerial munition. that of hate the parking lot. we also have examples of what air to ground the nation created. looks like. as you can see,
10:16 am
they do not exist in this instance. many a media outlets immediately before to verify the claims by some us. those were lives spread by some us. i want to make something clear. it is impossible to know what's happened as quickly as from us claims 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, which was over seen at the very highest levels of the month. based professional review was based on intelligence operation, intelligence, operational systems, and aerials footage, all of which, which we crossed chuck the evidence which we are sharing with you all confirms that the explosion of the highly in my dining hospital in gaza was caused
10:17 am
by any slumming jug rocha that is, was misfire. so that was the chief suppose the person for these really defense forces explaining israel's account of what happened at the hospital in gaza. will you and chief antonio good terrace, says he is horrified at the hundreds of deaths in the blast. he called for an immediate truth to allow humanitarian aid into gaza. he also called for the immediate release of hostages, held by him us, as i saw sort of the media to many settings these fires to provide sufficient simon space to help realize my slip use. and we use the epic human suffering. we are witnessing to many lives and the site of the entire region and on the bellows. a dw as senior international correspondent, funny punch are standing by force and tell it be funny. as we just heard there,
10:18 am
the us present has directed is national security team to investigate the hospital blast. how difficult is it going to going to be to establish just what happens there funding? so to be very complicated, not only to establish what is this supposed to be a fact, but then who's going to believe, what is this talk? what isn't information as any information was already in full swing? we have seen they are israel basically pretty quickly after this attack has happened already making sure that that their version of the story, what they claim to be true. what has happened is what is supposed to be the fact. but the same goal is to be the united states and president biden's just on the way here shortly to arrive here to talk with primary students in your israel, in this which are behind me. the question is regarding all the results for us and fees, well, the cooperation with these robi claim to be the results. it is complete, actually a lot different, a stakeholders to you in the region i going to make out all the information. in fact, it is very, very important on the live already,
10:19 am
the shortly after those parental attacks that attacks in a gauzy, central gaza killing at least an estimated 500 people in the hospital. the truly asked the egypt, but also the united arab emirates. remember the 1st countries to condemn the attack, but also to believe you girlfriend. and obviously we know from history the egypt was the 1st country 1979 to normalize todd as well, and the united arab emirates just recently a few years ago. how is this entire situation going to be changing? how is the dynamic ongoing from new york? completely unclear, just as it is unclear, simply how the visit by us president, by the is it was supposed to take place onto her under the circumstance to meet other lead us. how a that's going to take place. now we're going to see where he needs to be on the property, send it to now, and what message will that send in the region a well us present turbine has now arrived. as you know funny. he is air force, one,
10:20 am
just touch down at an airport outside teller be shortly. he's on his way into televi for, for hours of talks. i'm told how does this a, this explosion at the hospital in gaza city with so many deaths complicate president biden's diplomatic mission, finding the very fact that prior to the attack in a goes up years, president biden was supposed to meet various leaders in the region, namely they had on the policy and a for it is mr. a boss, but also it has of joint in of egypt. oil that has been cancelled. so the only person that will talk to him today is 5 minutes to the the president. no, the question is whether you can yes, because part of this, it seems like the united states has some sort of influence to over, as well as some control in terms of how even a ground defensive may take shape. it's completely clear just what influence,
10:21 am
what inside united united states is going to have as president 5 and it's for fits, talk to a prime minister, nothing else. one thing is clear, you would need to somehow come out of this out of this reading with private assuming nothing. now we some positive breakthrough, right? one with regard to the roof of border crossing between egypt and gaza strip tribes . good in this, but also a poem of escalation in the region as a whole, and that is completely unclear, watts, that meeting is going to bring a valid but also just what's going to happen once you as president biden has left these right. now i just want to remind our viewers that we're looking at live pictures here. apparently, this is the motorcade of president joe biden arriving in tel aviv not, of course, under extreme security conditions. president biden is expected to spend about 5 hours in tel aviv talking with the, with the is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu and, and other officials. and of course, this visit is,
10:22 am
has become much more complicated funny, through the explosion in gaza city at the hospital. the president we've already heard from the is really defense forces offering their account of what happened president brought bite and as promising to help clarify things as well with his own phone team of investigators what. what more can you tell us about how are they going to go about that? sorry, i didn't understand your question, terry. sorry, funny. i was, i was just trying to figure out how present button is hoping to contribute to understanding what happened at the hospital in gaza. with the security team and just uh, wondering how they, how they will proceed with that. mean they can only do that with the, with the cooperation. i would suppose of the palestinians in gaza and also israel to some degree. right. exactly. so the united states intelligence depends basically
10:23 am
on information that's being delivered from gaza strip, but also the information from israel. united states is pretty much the biggest, the main back are of, of, of these are out here in this region. so what's expected and already be a foot from the white house prior to president biden's arrival here, that he's going to ask some tough questions. also the drug outs. what's going to happen in the coming days and the coming weeks ahead. and that may in so way or the other even influence whether the ground offensive is going to be delayed through them, or whether it's going to be a major ground offensive after this. what changes are going to take place? it's completely unclear, but certainly the united states does depend on the intelligence that's being provided from the main stakeholders here in the conflicts speed as well. and uh, and the information is coming out of the gaza strip. and once again, i have to underline you that as there is an informational who, as is too much information that we cannot verify as such as information. and fact, it is completely difficult. but just for us to be
10:24 am
a journalist here on the ground. but certainly all those politicians and observe us uh that one to have a positive influence on, on the escalation to establish what exactly has happened. they are on the ground in gaza strip. and the 2nd part of it just what the regional stakeholders are going to make all that information. will they trust or not? kindly, we've seen diplomatic efforts now getting stuff done, but german transfer of charles was dressed in israel speaking with the prime minister with these rarely prime minister. now we have jo button arriving. there is considerable pressure on israel to show restraint in its response to the palestinian attack. has israel shown any willingness to, to listen to those diplomatic efforts to try to de escalate of the is there a keeps saying that their goal is to take out the route out militant, the homeless militants and that they specifically targets?
10:25 am
basically the place is the highest out or come of submitted things, but what has to understand if you took what kind of submitted since you're talking about is getting underground city there in the gaza strip, a total of system estimates to be seen 100 kilometer long. so these entrances to the total a system, a very close to schools debit close to hospital. it's in a very densely populated area and bit for the criticism that's been fruitful, but again and again by the united nations, as well as well as other human rights organizations. how in the world, good one to ease roll it strikes without humanitarian consequences, without killing one most of billions as this is unfolding. and he's, well, as i say, they keep repeating that they will try every thing to make sure that the people in gaza strip the listing is a move to save zones. but exactly, that's a so called force evacuation from northern dogs to southern goals as also come on. they're very, very strong scrutiny by the united nations because they say simply, it is impossible for so many people to the,
10:26 am
from the north of the south lack of gasoline. how will you drive this? also lack of the very basic, clean water, food, etc. so it is becoming increasingly difficult for ease, right, to actually to defend that what they doing is according to community oriental, geneva conventions new, namely funny. thank you very much shar, corresponding funny, fletcher there in telling me or you're watching dw news. just a quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you this our us present joe biden has landed in telling me for tonsils really prime minister benjamin netanyahu . biden's scheduled meeting in jordan with arab leaders, has been cancelled. fremont officials in the gaza strip say hundreds of people have been killed in a plastic awesome hospital from us, says and is really airstrikes hit the hospital while israel blames and misfired palestinian rock. and german chancellor of schultz is in cairo for meeting with
