the roads in progress, the w plus cost, the this is dw news line from berlin. the roof of crossing between egypt and guns of reopens for humanitarian aid. a convoy of rings for water and medicines to the besieged palestinian territory. but 8 groups saying the deliveries are nowhere near enough. meanwhile, world leaders gather for a piece of it and kind of their aim is to stop the conflict escalating into a wider regional conflict. the
4:01 pm
i'm here until the berlin welcome to the program. the 1st trucks carrying humanitarian aid for guns, i have cross the border from egypt. the roof of crossing has reopened. after days of diplomatic negotiations, led by the head of the united nations, a convoy carrying food, water and medicines brought the 1st aid to gauze. since a terror attacks and israel 2 weeks ago, foreigners waiting to leave the territory. i've also gathered at the border and d, w as rebecca rivers is following developments for us from jerusalem. rebecca, nice for nice to have you with us. now some aid trucks have finally cross the border from egypt into garza, but it is real expected to let enough a through to use the humanitarian situation. well, we'll have to say these 1st 20 trucks and not going to be enough. we've seen the
4:02 pm
pictures, we've heard the reports coming out of gaza and the dye, a humanitarian situation that's taking place there that sit developing there. we. we see that in the secretary general of the you and, and take a parish. i'm calling for a continuous flow of those a trucks to be allowed in, but we did always know that this 1st lot was only going to be 20 trucks. that was part of the deal that was pro could when us president joe biden was here a few days ago. it's what benjamin netanyahu agreed to to allow the 1st prompts to come through. so that they could make sure that the aid would go to get into the right hands. basically, they were worried that they may be attempts to try and re all get supplies to have mounts militants. so even old going well, it is sold, but these deliveries could continue depending on the security situation, the safety situation for the people delivering those aids as well, and the people collecting it. but we know that there are hundreds of trucks and thousands of tons of 8 waiting on the egyptian side to get in. and it is,
4:03 pm
of course, the time is of the essence. we've seeing the pictures we hearing the stories come out, have gone so we know that there are massive shortages of water, food, of medical supplies, of course, and the need for medical supply, the growing people that are presenting, we need to raise in the hospital. right. so it sounds like millions of people are waiting for that aid. what exactly do we know about the people who are waiting to get out of kaiser, especially people with for an passports. are they able to leave yet? no one has been able to leave yet. unfortunately, there is some hope the release being formed, particularly the us driving a list of people to the jew national. anyone with us citizenship, they're aiming to try and get them out. but all the lists are also forming other countries starting to collate names of people who they might be able to try and get out and humanitarian list as well. we haven't seen any some on is that yet? i was just on the phone with a colleague from scott the he knows many people who went to the crossing who were
4:04 pm
trying to get a free pos to get out of, of gaza. but that so far hasn't been allowed. they were turned away and they're making their way back into uh, southern gaza. so you know that we don't have any more information on when that might be able to take place. but if east hartford, but some people might soon stop being able to to get out of the street. now let's turn our attention briefly to those hundreds of hostages. so taken by him us during those attacks. and we've received word that 2 american hostages have been released already. other hopes now that more of those hostages can be released in the coming days. well, i certainly hope this has been a sliver, a small hope in what is otherwise a pretty horrific situation. that's really and on the statement. so obviously this is given to the many families loved ones and also being held by the most militant, given hard to the many traumatized riley's,
4:05 pm
were watching for news every moment of every day this, the incident has really traumatized the country. people just looking for any sign of homes and that certainly was last night and we sold those 2 fridays release a cold. it's really hard to say to give it a definitive answer as to whether or not they will be moved to follow. of course talks of ongoing, we know that could top a very big role and brokerage that costs to continue the negotiations that i use a play of savings playing an increasingly important role when it comes to hostage negotiations. and they've been asked to continue the us saying that they're going to do everything that they can to try and make sure that the us nationals come out . benjamin and yahoo! promising the nation that, that is really still a top priority. but he went on to say that they the, the continuing operation of trying to complete the highlight how mazda and make them no longer a feasible military size time to go on. so we're still waiting to see what the
4:06 pm
next steps saw from the side of ground invasion. and of course, perhaps the, perhaps the reason that it hasn't happened yet is because of those hostages. so no definitive answers to that question, but certainly a lot of thoughts raised well, at least hopefully for one family today, that was the w, rebecca rivers in jerusalem. thank you very much for your party. what leaders have gathered for a piece of that in the egyptian capital cairo, as well as trying to be escalate. the conflicts delegates him to ensure aid continues to reach gauze. era leaders say it's time to restart a drive to end the decades long cycle of violence between east room and the post. and it was wonderful that the german foreign minister, under the bad luck is in the summit in cairo. she's called for a new middle east peace leading to an independent palestinian state alongside israel. there is no doubt all civilian lives meta just
4:07 pm
the same and let me be also clear, the cost of all the suffering of these past weeks, the suffering that brings us here today, the suffering of the little girls, the mother of the families, have a name. it was how most the brought to run this terror over east ran on october 7th, committing atrocious friends like any other country in the world is right and has the right to defend itself and to protect its people against this terrible, within the framework of international law. that's why the german government strongly stands and solidarity was useful for germany. the security of the state of east red is non negotiable, are driven to egyptian journalists, carry them go harvey, and joins me now from cairo. so as we heard there germany stressed and solidarity
4:08 pm
with israel during the summit, but is there common ground for the participating countries which they can all agree on what very difficult because i think the really different positions. i mean, as we can hear from the jump and sides also from the americans, we'll talk about the rating of rifle says defense the americans talk about the obligation upsets defense and by it justifying the compartment because that's true . that is something that is not going down when the by the error of sites, for example, of the king of georgia in cold sweats happens in because of it right now the crime . so there's really not a lot of common ground, but i see what the we, where they're trying here is that we have it. we had a very strong arrow president presence presence in this meeting at to push the agenda for at least some kind of humanitarian ceasefire. in the gaza
4:09 pm
strip it for us to get more humanitarian has insight because the hosting started to date was that 20 trucks. that's wanting to draw from the border crossing that off from egypt into the causes to 20 trucks for preparation of 2300000 people office knows enough. so eh, they're pushing the, the, the momentum for like i can return ceasefire and then, and for some of the, just she presence, it's from that point on, we should again stop, start to talk about a political solution to this problem most. and of course, we have back at the 2 state solution. now, if we could stay with egypt for a 2nd, the country is positioning itself as an immediate or within the summit. can each of really play a role in mediating between the 2 conflict parties. this was what was the, what the salt today was not. i mean the issue is that what is the navigation effort with what they've seen the israel present?
4:10 pm
what a seeing somebody from home us present would have seen maybe somebody from your dog presence was supporting homeless. so that was not the case. so this was not about to be the issue. this was about getting momentum for a ceasefire. never the less of course you should test contacts to how much it is right. and is also because of that position, maybe as a negotiator. but right now, i think is the more important negotiator, as we saw yesterday was the release of the 2 hostages is because i'm or it's of cousin who played a role in negotiation the release of this 2 hostages. now you've raised an interesting point. there are countries such as the as a real run, and of course some of us aren't at the table in cairo today. so can we really expect any type of concrete outcomes from the tox? no, i mean the concrete outcomes. this is it really? it was really, really the attempt of the era of words to convince the others and made it to your
4:11 pm
parents were present. that to put the whole issue over of a ceasefire onto the international agenda. i don't know how successful it was at the input. i think that was the goal of this whole meeting today. all right, that was german egyptian journalist cut him go henry, thank you very much for your analysis. know israel is planning to evacuate the northern city of tier to actual mona near the border with love it on the following days of classes with has full of fighters. the city is home to 20000 people and is just 2 kilometers from the border. is really authorities have been steadily evacuating communities along the northern frontier the nato goldstein have driven up to k yet simona to pick up the father, the taking give south and out of range of rockets fires across the border by his beloved. my father is a very man that's one of which i can pick on. may i take it to,
4:12 pm
to my home and try said i've this is why the leaving sirens wail is a power outage of rocket streets towards israel from 11 on to yet simona has already been hit by those munitions. you hear me say it's time to go because this kind of about to ation allows b i d f to expand this operation of freedom to act against the hezbollah, terrorist and civil people. many residents have in fact already left before being forced evacuation for the confident no return or action with the situation. he's here right now, is there a difficult, like my brother say, what, you know, what we're going to in? no one is can be tough. that's it. no one is can be done. this is what all over the
4:13 pm
world need to understand. we're going to fight and fight on residents splitting the law. so now joining tens of thousands of israelis who have left the homes in the south near a gaza. this. the conflict has prompted pro palestinian protests around the world here in berlin. they've been banned and fears for public safety, for several demonstrations turned violent, but some rallies in support of palestinians have gone ahead with police arresting hundreds of people. and that's raise questions about free speech and the right to demonstrate for the seems like desktop, played out your tongue. bell lane street, large groups of angry men throwing rocks fall tools, and even fireworks of police. who responded with walter counting. hundreds have been arrested. parts of the city have been on a knife edge since police fund pro palestinian protest with the official saying
4:14 pm
such gatherings have been used to incite hatred calls for the killing of jews or the destruction of israel. their small skin, berlin, worshippers. a binding protest is the wrong approach that started to diminish should be the possibility. this is also included in german law for demonstrations as long as they are not violent, missed provide to, to send up on this. so you have the feeling that the german state use of freedom of speech when it wants that mean freedom of speech really is really citizens, the not for the palestinian citizens to do for this. and then just look at the spanish speaking at the jury school in the capital, the head of a center, right, cd. your party said he box the bond, is that protecting them so they will have to be a band on activities against certain people on this. we have an alternative, and of course it will also have to be a band on demonstrations machine. so if what happens is when we have seen often enough or too often in the last 10 days, numerous,
4:15 pm
namely that that has been violent demonstrations here to that. an echo of the political mainstream for gemini, the focus know very much on 0 taller and as of anti semitism. and you're up to date, produce a to and we're bringing more in all the latest on the violence in the middle east throughout the day on there until from berlin. thank you for joining us. the talk is changing 6 years ago. we said it con, continue was to, but it does guardians of truth. this time excel gen, this turned into our meets the voices of the 3 turkey author. as the ad one has history into exile, news, the police would search my house courageous people not.
