the the, this is the w news live from the, the un chief to mullins garza's board to be opened as a pilot pantone of your terror says food and supplies must be sent immediately to the besieged territory. besides how it is not clear when they will be allowed in, also coming up to many increases it's age. this is indians and gaza. also missing with is riley leaders, the foreign minister and the bad luck loans of a catastrophic humanitarian situation that i'm pleading of

a safer ton of hostages. more than 200 people were abducted by some us during the terrorist attacks. friends and family ask is really government to prioritize their release the minute. thanks so much for joining us. the you and the secretary general and send you a good terrorist has visited the rough up border crossing between egypt and garza. he called for it to be opened so that a can reach palestinians. garza is currently experiencing severe shore such as the fuel sued on medicine. united nations says more than 2000000 people are at risk of dehydration, and most of the one disease is now 8 is currently piling up at the roof of border crossing. but it is not being allowed into the territory united nations as coals to

age to return to pre conference 6 levels of 100 trucks a day. speaking out the border crossing the u. n, she said the difficult situation required, extraordinary humanitarian measures. unfortunately, these is not a lot of movie many that it will put ice and it's, it will put, i should be in the water zone. and that is the reason why i have appeals. what are you manufacturing ceasefire is not that i can see that too many variants. these fire is a pretty condition for the manufacturing delivery we don't pump. the bottom is because the people twice, 1st because of the war. and 2nd, because of the lack of humanitarian aids. but it is clear that too many that ensues fire would make good savings much easier and much safer for everybody. okay, let's cross straight to tanya claim or

a correspondent in tel aviv tonya. tell us why has it been so difficult to open the rasa border crossing and so he let the aid get through into gaza. well, i think he just heard it from the un secretary general himself. it's a extremely complicated situation, an active a war zone, and they need to be all the actus and need to agree on opening this crossing. we understand that under us pressure mediated by the us president joe biden himself, as he has said, the border crossing together with mediating between egypt and is well, the border crossing a should open it to get those a trucks that have been waiting there for days into gaza, but this hasn't happened yet. there were expectation that there might be some opening today. we understand that. and israel from sources here, this so political considerations and implications that are hindering this but also

from egyptian sources. the situation is extremely difficult. uh, this is really strikes also in the southern a goes to the huffman asterix in the area of the crossing. they say also the roads need to be repaired before a trucks can go through. so it is a very complicated and volatile, a situation where the defense of actors, you know, have to be on the ongoing, i had with this. the un secretary general also made a very clear point of cooling for a humanitarian ceasefire. is that likely asshole? it doesn't look very likely at this point if it's already so difficult to open this border crossing for goods. we are not even talking about opening the other part of this crossing to open it up for people. there was some point in the past 2 weeks and we can see that people with dual nationality or a foreign nationals, palestinians could maybe be created through this crossing. now this has been all

close now for the past 2 weeks. so it's so important, you know, to get people out and get a, do you mind determine age in and for the moment um, it will be very difficult also for the monetary and so, you know, ones, if this for the 1st thing is open ended trucks coming also to distribute is it's a major challenge. we understand that according to the is where the army they did, they defined a very small area in gauze and on the south. as of they've safe zone where people could go to take shelter because also asterix are continuing. this also is provided voc advise that coming out of causal. but people i talked to and guys and said it's the, it's the bombardment of causes that it's so difficult to undo it because people are really fearing for their lives. and they can't really go from one place to the next . so that would also be difficult. then to deliver this age, and this is certainly also a major challenge for the monitoring organizations. but for the moment, of course,

1st of all, they need to focus on getting this 8 into garza, tanya, with going to come back to you in just a moment. we're going to take a look now, a closer look at the situation on the ground in gaza as we were just hearing is really forces struck targets in the gaza strip. that was happening into the early as of friday morning, including in the south of the territory with israel had told gardens to head for their own safety from us or all kits shot back into israel as well over nice. and all of this is happening is palestinians wait for relief efforts to begin to cross the border from egypt. take, look they are ready and waiting. a percentage of these aid trucks is supposed to be allowed through the roof or crossing the only crossing into gaza. not controlled by his wheel. 20, you know, a trucks regatta, 2 and a half 1000000 people need assistance. 20 trucks is dropped in the ocean of need

right now, i'm guessing on the other side of the roof, a crossing there is may him and despair. even if southern gaza is where it goes, we'll told the northern guidance to go for safety sake. heavy air strikes and con eunice in the south meant the overflowing nicer hospital. took in even more wounded for critical care. there's no safety. there's no way of saving god. so how does it so you have to be ready to dine and to just stay in. your house will be when there is a threats originating or uh, being conducted against israel from the south. and we will strike absolutely is wheels. army will soon move into the gaza strip. israel's defense minister told the troops massing on its border oh my god, i promise you that whoever sees guys a now from a far will see it from the inside. good luck. oh and is really ground operation

will likely focus at 1st on the north with some us expected to put a fierce resistance. all of that pushing even more guys in south were in need of food, water, medical supplies, and back on the other side of the rough, a crossing age supply stream into a nearby airport, destined to join the backup, waiting to get into southern gaza. okay, let's go back to the correspondent, tanya explained. my who's in tel aviv atanya the is really ground operation that we were just hearing about and that reports into gaza is expected. do we know why it hasn't started yet? what from which we understand they're certainly strategic implications here and considerations why it hasn't started yet. i mean, it's expected that it's not and it's, but when it will happen, re boned, of course, know when this will happen before. when does a certain element of surprise or understand from the i mean that there's and reorganizing recruiting around the border where this must deployment, you know,

the tangs to, can see that as a close military area or around the goals and strip. so we're waiting for this to happen in the meantime. you know, the message as try contain is continuing also with a tele refi and from the naval forces in the mediterranean sea on garza. but there are also other considerations because it was also looking towards the border with a living on uh, in the, in noise in the north of israel under the hood this morning. again, another town in the north of israel has, has been given an ever creation order curio this morning so that people should leave. i think as a big concern here that this might become of wider conflict that the lebanese minutes and she has group a high school law or which is backed by yvonne might a join the war. they have threatened that if a crime defensive will happen. so there a lot of concerns here also that would integrate also on the strategic decisions

here of the army when to do the ground defensive. antonia, can i ask you about the hostages taken by on us? is that any? what at all, on the, on the face of those hostages being held a while there was one video released about one young is rarely woman this week from the most militant group showing her somewhere in gaza. the also heard from the is where the army today, another confirmation that over 200 hostages are now being confirmed. their families have been notified because what has been going on in the past 2 weeks is that a lot of families do not know what happened to their loved ones. uh well, those where have not seen the relatives being taken away and there's a very hiring videos. but the army now set that over 20 of those hostages that are confirmed to being gaza. our children under the age of 18. a 10

to 20 are over 60. most of them are allies, but they're also apparently, some that have died, but their bodies were taken to garza. again, the also stress that's between a 10200 people are still missing. and um, we spend visiting also the place at the military base where those buddies are being um you know, where the forensic teams looking at those buddies. the very clue, some identification, a process going on to notify the families. what happened to the last one step the w correspondent, tanya explained that thank you so much for the update. as we were just hearing that from tanya, israel says that more than 200 people were taken hostage by from us during the terror attacks earlier this month. they include the elderly, the disabled and sion children as well. now the hostages captured in southern israel and taken to gaza could be used as a ball,

going to destroy families urging the is randy government to prioritize the say for ton on a wall outside the is really defense ministry in tel aviv. and our walls across is real. the images of those taken and missing. these are the government most focus 1st the for one, doing whatever is necessary. you know that to release the hijacked people in the october 7th attack, come off terrorist killed indiscriminately, and it kidnapped civilians, soldiers, the elderly, disabled, and children. so many children. now the hostages are somewhere in the gaza strip, or under it in the untold hundreds of kilometers of tunnels come off as bills. now the be lots of effort putting to coordinating identifying the load, casey,

where the hostages all being tapped as much as possible. and of course, in the background, this talk of potentially hostage rescue attempts, but these are very, very dangerous options with not always a guarantee chance of success. what, how much recognizes scott walker says, is that is real, has consistently prioritize the safe return of their citizens. so you can add the vin on case in point the 19 year old is really soldier, held by him. us for 5 years is we'll got him back by giving up more than a 1000 palestinian prisoners to home us. they always want to take captives. they know what captains can do. one is really soldier people actually, and that's the price of israel is willing to pay. the hostages ruthlessly taken on october 7th, and likely guarded now by some of the homeless kidnappers face a link the captivity. and indeed the threat of death from the captors.

the families of those hostages are shaken and afraid desperate for any word. and hopeful that the images of their sisters brothers, parents, grandparents remain in the forefront of his wheels, moves against him. us. the german foreign minister and the bab book has cooled for the immediate release of hostages, held by hum us speaking. often these things would be, is really the fit. she said israel had the right to defend itself, but she judged the protection of civilians. she also announced that germany was increasing its humanitarian aid to gaza by 50000000 euros cooling the situation that catastrophic. that book said he would extend a tool of the middle east middle eastern countries to attend a newly announced p summit in cairo on such a day. that book also called for com. in the wake of disputed intonation that spread rapidly following the explosion of the gauze. the hospital on wednesday was

i haven't. we all have seen the hardware, those pictures of the dead people in the hospital in gaza. be comfortable in golf knox with hospitals need to be protected by all warring parties. they must not be a tech to say any one. if you do have some fun, you mind me on your system that blame against various excess on the basis of social media posts, which i put together very quickly spread seriously. and this used as a tool of propaganda. the evidence provided by israel costs very strong though, tend to thier read pro. real good by how much under to be the way yesterday. it wasn't jordan, seeing how this guy warrant against blaming one side without clear evidence to 6 coupons for the international community. it's very important to carry out a profound install ro investigation is i think, wouldn't leesha winters with all right, let's talk more about this with d. w. use melinda crane. all senior political. i'm less. good to see you,

melinda. and we just had driven 5 minutes to speak, and then what struck to you about what she said in the tone she struck? well, she's calling attention to a huge issue. because in a tinderbox situation, like the one that we have in the middle east, not only in israel and the guys but across the whole middle east, this information and social media that jumped to conclusions. that really is pouring fuel on the potential flames. and we saw that happen after the attack on the hospital when some media, including even reputable western media, immediately to come us claim that it had been propagated. the attack has been propagated by israel at face value. and with attribution said, is your israel was behind us and once something like that is out there on the networks on the social networks. but also in the media. it is very hard to walk it back with the kind of firm evidence that she's referring to. we do now have pretty

clear indications that is what makes you hard. if failed racket as rocket sent up by them was probably behind out attack. but the action on the streets is already there. there is already now massive protest across the whole middle east. and that kind of a dynamic is a dangerous dynamic, which is when i, this form of this information, all of us including we journalists, must be very, very careful at this time to be sure of our fact and to really limit what we report to what we can verify, right, let's talk about and late a bab books visits to the region. she's in israel, she'll be in jordan and then she was in jordan and she's traveling on to 11 on. can you tell us about how specific goals on this mission? basically 3 goals and we've talked about all of them and to show hostages, very, very top of mind for her, she has met with the families of some of the germans being held hostage at least 8

. and everywhere she goes, she says basically she is leaving no stone unturned to try to ensure that they are treated with humanity and also released. so she said she is working tirelessly to maintain contact with their counterparts across the region. and germany has good contacts in the region. germany has shown absolutely steadfast support for israel, but it also has good contacts to into, to a number of middle eastern countries. and she is absolutely using those as is chance the shots with reaching out to egypt to jordan. to katara the a mirror of visit in here last week to meet with the chancellor and to 11 on where she is going after this trip to israel. she's going there later today at a time when her own ministry is telling the germans to leave lebanon. she's going essentially to issue a warning, not only about the treatment of the hostages, but about the potential for regional conflagration, for

a terrible upheaval across the region. if actors like is his bola, the militia in that's based in southern lebanon as well as iran. it is the proxy militia for iran, the weapon of choice, as it were, if they get into the fray and she had a very clear warning today to the ron and to his bullet to stay out. so that's her 2nd reason. and then her 3rd reason is to monetary and support, and germany has, in fact declared that willingness to provide another 50000000. but the question of how it gets into guys, as you just as you discussed earlier with tanya and framer that is, remains a very thorny issue, but was in israel last week. she's back again now. as you mentioned, trump lasalle, it was also the, obviously a very keen sense of urgency here for her to be coming back again so soon after her 1st visit. absolutely, and that is all about the potential for regional conflagration. a clock is ticking

here, and we have seen his ball ascending missiles across into israel, which is why israel has now evacuated. another village in israel near the border with lab, not enormous fear that his folder could jump in. and germany has played a mediating role in the middle east. in the past, there's a historic tradition there. it has helped immediate prisoner swaps. it has helped to conduct negotiations with iran in the context of the nuclear deal. it was the one in 5 plus one. if you remember where the powers that negotiated there with iran, so germany trying to make the most of those channels of communication. that's why she's going to 11. and that's why she's staying on to attend the peace summit that has been called a short notice by egypt. she'll be going to cairo tomorrow for that, and i think there's a sense here that working together with other european partners we've seen where she's so not go to saudi arabia. we've seen the friends probably have that done

president my call also traveling to the middle east. all of them hoping to get arid support to try to essentially limit the potential for this to escalate. and also to keep together a group of arrow countries that have been looking like it was ready for reproach. ma width is real, she said today also directed. it is real. don't lose sight of that. it is important not to give some us what it wants, namely, a loss of those relations. those butting relations with arab countries with neighboring countries, and also a loss of humanity. she said that as israel prosecute spits, attacks against hum us, it must be so careful not to lose its own. just humanity. i did just want to ask you. we heard her announce the 50000000 euros in aid, so civilians in the gaza strip. do we know how that will be help?

how that will be used to help release the numerous suffering that is happening that right now? well, it certainly will include these key goods that are desperately needed by the palestinian civilians who have mast in the south of gaza. so that means food medicine, water water desperately needed. apparently the u. n. is warning of a danger of dehydration on the part of a 1000000 people in the south of, of, of gauze. and now the big question is also fuel. we heard the un secretary general speaking earlier about the desperate need for fuel in order to allow the u. n release agency in gaza to distribute aid including the aid that germany would be sending. that is one of the sticking points. one of the reasons that the roof of crossing is still closed. is it egypt as a israel does not want to see fuel across that border because it's afraid it could be diverted by her mouth. so as tanya said, an extremely difficult complex negotiate action going on with

a clock ticking. belinda melinda crane, our senior political analyst. thank you so much, melinda. this one is more than germany's founding principles is support for israel, and the protection of jewish people is one aspect of the tournament for the nazi era. holocaust will show. it's also known in which some 6000000 jews, one. the other recent raleigh's and anti semitic incidents has prompted concern among young jewish people here. but let's say in, but they refused to be intimate faces. this berlin synagogue could have been set on fire had the molotov cocktails not fallen short and struck the side walk in front of the building. deborah cogan is vice president of the german union of jewish students. she knows the targeted jewish community. well, she was for kids, i was shocked, of course, that

a synagogue was attacked. and what especially this one about because it is a very small community. and i didn't expect something like that. some of those computers you had the feeling of at least being safe here. but as we see now, that's not the case. coconut impression is that there is now more police presence in front of jewish institutions. still, many jewish people in berlin are opting to stay at home. and i mean, when i walk by some jewish institutions, sometimes i only see one police officer. and i've often noticed that they're looking at their cell phones instead of keeping an eye on what's going on around them from home to showing us about god or for the speed. even if it's still difficult to lead a normal jewish life in germany, a life and safety, long after the show, a 20 year old deborah kogan does not want her home to be taken away from her. them yet we have had over 1700 years of jewish life year. and i would say that jews have always been part of germany and many are now considering whether they still have

a future here at all. it's sad to have such thoughts after all these years. after everything we've been through, the jewish life in germany should end with this. deborah kogan doesn't want to hide. in fact, she advocates for dialogue, even if that seems unlikely, at this point in time. the interest page from the white house as oval office, the us president joe biden has just americans to support tens of billions of dollars and funding for israel and ukraine. he said that slicing for democracy, white and stress, but the backend both because of vital for us national security. he said the world is looking to america leadership and that the us couldn't afford to abandon its allies. now, american leadership is what holds the world together. american alliances, what keep us, americans say american values, what make us a partner the nation you want to work with?

put all that at risk. we walk away from ukraine. return our backs on israel. it's just not worth it. that's why the more i'm going to send to congress an urgent budget request to fund another dispatch. so security needs to support are critical partners, including israel and ukraine. is a smart investment is going to pay dividends for american security. for generations help us keep american troops out of harm's way. help us build a world that is safer, more peaceful and more prosperous for our children and grandchildren of us present terabyte and that you're watching dw news. here's a quick reminder about top stories. the un secretary general, antonio gutierrez, has visited the rough up border crossing between egypt and garza. he called for it to be open so that 8 can reach palestinians. now that is currently experiencing severe source, which is the fuel, food and medicine. the german 4 administer, and elena bad luck has cooled for the immediate release of hostages being held back

from us. speaking often these things with the is really need to ship. she said, as well as rail, has the right to defend itself. she urged the protection of civilians that the whole 7 doubts and new humanitarian aid package for you up to date time and you could see mckinnon invalid. and i'll be back at the top of the alex with its national headlines. thanks for watching the,
