10:04 am
clarify for us, why did it take so long to get what you're describing is a relatively small amount of life saving humanitarian aid across that border crossing. it was this, it was any opening of the border needs and that is this for parties. it says we met with egypt, it is right in order that this 8, the number is on the ball. and of course, how much ends you and we suppose to organize the deliveries itself within the causes. so that took several days because there was various demands on each site. the directions basically wanted to have an agreement that there's a more sustained to delivery of age coming in is right. and is want to limit it to also the to limit what this deliberate if because for example, and the password is essential for using the running the water pumps in the gaza strip. you know, normally the time at the basic needs of

a human being of water for itself is a 100 meter, a d at. so right now doesn't have an average of st. this of the for drinking for the basic is sunny. terry and identical needs for senator is just reading the survey. so in order to solve this problem and that you and also says it's fighting also that this, the delivery of the petrol that is to know, look that by these really sites and that is sending questions, is that going on in the background? well, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed that cream. that is cream of ohio journalist reporting from egypt, capital cairo, to a piece summit on the war is taking place today in the egyptian capital cairo, as well as a after thousands rallied in the city in support of palestinians. dozens of regional leaders, as well as prime ministers and ministers of foreign affairs from western states.
10:06 am
our meeting at the invitation of egyptian president opto fata of cc. also attending is un secretary general antonio, a good tax. let's be to the the use middle east analyst genres on us in, in the studio with me now for more of shawnee until a little bit more about what we can expect to come out of these talks in cairo today, a cc, the president of, of egypt he's very much concerned, he has a lot of pressure from within to support the palestinians, but he doesn't want to see any palestinian refugees on addiction ground and he's feels helpless. you know, we, he, we see now the ha ha costing opening. but this is very emotional. you know, way of helping to the huge problem. his eyes is on how to solve the, the, the future of the palestinian problem. he's hoping by 1st of all, this act of solidarity that he brings in a lot of the leaders from europe to counter a bit of what we've seen so far with lost support for israel. he wants to counter
10:07 am
that with a bit of a pledge to support the palestinians on the long run. and this of course is quite limited because we don't have as well we don't have the us on the annual around this table. but the junctions just like the jordanians both have peace agreements with israel. they feel that they need to do something because the feel, the pensions are bubbling, you know, within their, around among the public. and they, they are immediately effected. if anything, you know, with, with any escalation, so these major players, us around in israel, conspicuously missing, how much will they realistically be able to get done without them at the table, you know, for the, for the us. and it will definitely for these really, that's not your time for negotiations, is or at least feel like they need to go further down the military pass to eradicate as they claim the rule of how much and god but before that even open to any negotiations. and the, the way for this summer to somehow make some progress is try to look at the end game and the long term. so now there's somewhat of an agreement on you're going to
10:08 am
tell you an aspect there is to hope for hostages release. we've seen him, us with the release overnight may be signaling he's open for more humanitarian releases. and the aim is to see what would be the in game. where would the cost of being in $2.00 weeks, 2 months, 2 years. so that's may be something that all the players in the many various players from egypt to, to russia, to turkey, to the categories, to the recipients. might be able to agree on that are these. so these are the issues where you think that they might be able to find the most common ground, correct. but, and also me to keep you mind everything is, is, is pending the agreement of americans and is really players which are currently not very much interested in these negotiations. this, the situation is such as everybody's so afraid of escalation and to the effect that we also seeing japanese leader on the table here. because of the fear that the chinese by feeling bold and if they feel america is too preoccupied with the know
10:09 am
the middle east and ukraine. they might feel this is a time to make an advancement on, on taiwan. you know, this is this little book, you know, piece of land in the middle east has, you know, the escalation potential is so dire and could have consequences that resonate all over the world. and also a little bit about egypt role as host here. what are they hoping to get out of this? um, how useful can they be? well, well, for us, you see, you know, he, he always wants to say that he protects and he helps palestinians, but he's quite strong with the limit he is willing to up support he's, he's willing to give them a sense that he is not willing to see any posting is crossing into egyptian territory into the sign peninsula and he needs to show that he's doing something else. and this is his attempt to say ok, it's not helping in that aspect that i'm flying to an international diplomatic front to bring some sort of relief to the egyptian to be posting. is it a suffering? i hear you and i tried to do my best. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is, dw, is the middle east interruption, arizona. i appreciate that. now i'm
