5:03 pm
and practices that go ahead and police shopping outside 1000000 people. and then we warn against that then the displacement of our people to the outside of the gods. we war and the danger of the displacement of our civilians from their houses in blue or they are displacement from the westbank or from theories that would be then we will never accept this for a single misplaced man. well stands on our line despite the challenges get the message. the arab world is hearing is loud and clear. palestinians likes method less. then he's ready ones. oh or lines. measure less than all the minds. the application of international law is optional. and human rights have boundaries based off importers.
5:04 pm
they stop at races and they stop at religions. that is a very, very dangerous message. as a consequence is a continued international apathy and action will be catastrophic on us all civilian lice meta just 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, had a name. it was how most the brought to run this turbo but use read on october 7th, committing atrocious friends like any another 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 that's why the german government strongly
5:05 pm
stands in solidarity was use rail german egyptian journalist covering go harvey has been following the summit in cairo for us. earlier i asked him if participating countries can agree on any common ground. it was very difficult because i think the really different positions, i mean, as we can hear from the jump and sides also from the americas. we'll talk about the rating of rifle says defense the americans talk about the obligation upsets defense . and by justifying the compartment that because of script that is something that is not going down when the by the error of sites. for example, the king of jordan, cold sweats, happens in because a suit at 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 of it. we had a very strong arrow president presence presence in this meeting at to push the
5:06 pm
agenda for at least some kind of to monetary ceasefire in the gaza strip at 1st 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 permission of 2300000 people. the office knows enough. so, and they're pushing the momentum for like i can return ceasefire and then, and for some of the, just the presence that from this point on, we should again start start to talk about a political solution to this problem. most of course, we have back at the 2 state solution. now, if we could stay with an agent for a 2nd, the company is positioning itself as a mediator within the summit. can each of really play a role in mediating between the 2 conflict parties or what, what was it, what you saw today was not,
5:07 pm
i mean the issue is that what is the navigation efforts worth of seeing the is ready to present what are seeing somebody from how most person would have seen maybe if somebody from your dog presence was supporting the 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 into is right and is also because of that positions maybe as a negotiator. but right now who i think is the more important negotiator, as we saw yesterday, was the release of the 2 hostages. is the, the cost image of color who played a role in negotiation the, the release of this 2 hostages. now the reason interesting point there a country such as the is a real, a run and of course them us aren't at the table in cairo today. so can we really expect any type of concrete outcomes from detox? no, i mean the concrete outcomes. this is it really, it was really,
5:08 pm
really the attempt of the error of words to convince the others and mainly the repeating this web presence. 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 addiction journalist cutting go. henry, thank you very much for your analysis to the 1st trucks carrying humanitarian aid for gauze. i have crossed the border from egypt. the roof of crossing has reopened after days of the black negotiations, led by they had the united nations conway carrying water and food and medicines brought us and brought the 1st aid to cause us since the terror attack on israel earlier this month. foreigners waiting to leave the territory. i've also gathered up the border now the un has worn to the health system, and gauze is on the brink of collapse. my colleague, mariana evans, dean s. lin hastings,
5:09 pm
but you wouldn't be monetary and coordinator in the palestinian territories if 20 trucks with a can make any difference. yes, it will make a difference to those few people who do receive, but it's a drop in the bucket. what we are calling for is a dean increasing daily deliveries of going forward in the next period. so these 20 trucks, yes, welcome start. but not nearly enough. can you perhaps walk us through the process of mediation that led to the reopening of the roof of border crossing? so i know the talks were going for quite a long time. why did it take so long? a part of the reason of course is because there's a number. busy of different parties involved as riley's egyptians, the partners who are trying to deliver to military and assistance areas, ma'am other member states, etc. so there's a lot, as i said, different parties who are involved, and that's
5:10 pm
a big part of the issue. another part of the issue, of course, is every member state or party has some of their own interests um, but also just different requirements, etc, which really needs to be settled. and unfortunately because you monetary assistance should be unconditional. and what about those who hold foreign passports and the thousands are waiting to leave gauze time? could they be allowed to leave at some point in the next couple of hours? i don't know. there are many, many rumors around again, there's a number of different parties who are involved and that we meet consent, their safety and security issues, of course involved. and again, each member state has a different methodology in terms of dealing with their own national staff. at the united nations, we are hoping to be able to get some non essential stuff out. but we also want to be bringing in other staff to replace those people who have been engaged under very,
5:11 pm
very difficult circumstances. so they can rotate. and so that we bring in new staff who have are, are exhausted yet, and will be able to contribute and support the ongoing operations as we state and deliver or un secretary general is among those who are calling for a cease fire. what can you tell us about efforts to achieve this to so we've been calling for is monitoring seats fire for 7. busy days now it's needed for us to be able to deliver assistance. without it, we do have other mechanisms called a notification system whereby we informed the current parties that we're trying to move. but what we really need is a humanitarian ceasefire to be able to deliver assistance to where people are. that was lind hastings. you wouldn't humanitarian coordinator in the palestinian territories and database rebecca rivers is also following developments for us from
5:12 pm
jerusalem. i asked her whether is real is likely to allow more aid into concept. well, we'll have to say these 1st 20 trucks and not going to be enough. we've seen the pictures. we've heard the reports coming out of gaza and the guy, a humanitarian situation that's taking place there that says 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 a 1st crunch 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 um, or get supplies to i'm not militant so even old going well, it is sold, but these deliveries could continue depending on the security situation. the safety
5:13 pm
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, of course, the time is of the essence. we've seeing the pictures were 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 4 and 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 all the
5:14 pm
countries starting to collate names of people who they might be able to try and get out and humanitarian lists as well. we have, i haven't seen any sign of that yet. i was just on the phone with a colleague from scott the he knows many people who went to the crossings, who were trying to, 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 in east hartford. but some people might soon stop being able to, to get out of the streets. no, 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
5:15 pm
has given hard to the many family loved ones and also being held by the most militant, given hard to the many traumatized riley's, 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 to american movie 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 a post hoax of ongoing. we know that could top at a very big role and brokerage that to continue the negotiations that i use. they probably have to be 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 and i like come off and make
