braid. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu gave a televised addressing. the israel was continuing to prepare for ground operation in gaza. while he did not give details, he repeated a warning to post indians to move to the south of go. so they must've been on the same. we're getting ready for a ground operation. and you know, if i, i will not say when, how are using, how many soldiers i think i'm know if i will also not specify the conditions that are being taken into account. so i'm a good the majority of which are not known to the public. and this is how it should be built. it's for the benefits of our soldiers. i want to be clear. the timing of the defense forces operation would be determined unanimously by the war cabinet. along with the defense forces, chief of staff for me to come out jointly within the cabinets, we are operating to ensure the professions conditions part of pfizer is for future action. the same, i me to view, i'm going to come in portable. sure. while ago i spoke with the w,

corresponded attorney kramer in jerusalem. she told me more about these really incursion into guys overnight. well, these are the ami confirmed. that's what they called the, the conductor, what they call the target to rate using tangs. and they also release this video where we see explosions happening and that the infantry moved into the north. and our goal is to strip as part of preparations as a set of for the next stage. they also said they're located and struck in terrorist infrastructure and killed him. us militants, the and this is an operation as they put it, to prepare the mattresses that went out afterwards. so this is one of the larger operations, according to the army radio. we've seen those sort of rates in 2000 the past 2 and a half weeks, but also the air strikes is really strikes on gaza,

continue in the north end in the southern part of casa. and we also had a, a garage for our kids coming out from a garza yesterday to israel. that we just heard israels prime minister there explaining the preparations are still under way for a ground operation of full scale operation. what are these really is themselves saying? and into this patient of the operation tony well, i think as you needed to address the public again and is right because people want to know what is happening next. the region is very g 3. it's not as clear when the ground operation is happening, but there are a lot of different areas that is really so looking at themselves in the north. and they also show if you look at polls, you know, they say, well, they support the government in a saying that they want to approve time off from it. garza that trust is not

that big. and what the government is doing, so nothing you all a sudden is televised address. that's a ground operation or incursion will happen soon. you also said again that this will decide that the timing will be decided by the smaller war cabinet. and he also addressed the issue of the hostages. he said this is a top priority for the government. and he also touched a briefly on the issue of the responsibilities for all of that because it's varies . you know, one to one to know who was responsible for this intelligence failure, that's how most could so easily preach the borders and overrun the southern communities. but he just briefly touched on the responsibility, said many people will have to answer this. that will be done after the war. tony, thank you very much for now. our correspondent tony kramer in jerusalem. well, while ben, you mean that to know who his warrant guys is to evacuate toward the south,

the un says thousands have been returning to their homes in the north. that's because of overcrowding at shelters. and the shortage of vital supplies, the un agency helping refugees and gaza, said it may have to call to tell you the operations once fuel runs out. fuel shortage is hindering emergency services that are already stretched to the limit. 2 relentless is really strikes on gaza mean ever more people are trapped under the rubble. healthcare stuff are working tirelessly, brushing injured palestinians do hospitalized with critical supplies, including shrouds for the dead. they are running low. water pressure is so low as they are unable to operate. the central several ization machine that we use for, for several lies, are a surgical equipment and the electricity keeps cutting out. and we were completely

dependent on the fuel, which i understand is no longer coming in to, for when the doctors are under pressure to consider fuel for the generators. that hospitals are now relying on a stripling into garza. but israel is still blocking fuel supplies. robeteck, we are aware that how much needs fuel they needed badly for the military infrastructure . after the stove, all the fuel from one row, then it will discuss the issue of the fuel with the world. and if the hospitals are in peril across from us, other furs to on some of that, how much resupplied the fuel to the hospitals and to the poor residents, the world must a month from how much of the un is warning that without more fuel it will have to hard, it's a good work. the white house says it is working to get fuel into gauze all the time

is running out spring. and he but to be here, she's country director for the humanitarian organization care responsible for the west bank and gaza. she joins us from ramallah in the westbank. welcome to the program. people that start with a situation in gaza, you're in daily contact with your colleagues there. what are they telling you? it was just before the interview with like a week on the phone and they were explaining to me that the situation is becoming more and more hard. the only day they have to go for breast queues that are now taking 6 hours, an average to find no full rent or limited amount. it's like limited amount that comedy and they are. for instance, mike would even have to leave at 4 am just to reserve a spot in the queue. and this is not the only issue that they are facing the will to add it in the beginning of the 1st days of the work. they were able to secure

voted from don, what do you see front of the pump? not clean. want to so the one for hygiene purposes. and they used to come for, for 3, almost every $34.00 days. now it does not coming anymore. and i'm pretty sure that you order to hear the about the drinking wanted. that is not available to you guys anymore because it's requires fuel that's or places electricity for a open and treating the want to become more jiggling. now israel has told palestinians in the gaza strip to leaves the north and move to the south. but the un says that some palestinians who did that if leather homes in the north are now going back there because they can't find safe shelter. even in the south, which is supposed to be a say so or your colleagues in a similar situation. unfortunately it's, it's a added z. and the fact it states that this the morning from my colleagues, not one, not to the 5 of them who are in, evacuated to the south. they listed houses. there are no houses to go back to by

the way, 3 of them, how their houses are completely destroyed. 2 of them, they don't know if they can, if it's safe to go back to their home. but they are unable to stay in the, in the south. they are staying in apartments designed for 10 people, but they are straight and gets with atp, but they cannot sleep. they cannot access water and it's onto consumption. and by the way, those will stay the noise was the did not evacuate. there's not a back. you wait because of the fact that they cannot afford going to the saw, the village to few will be keep extremely expensive, so forth on many an average funded to transport from the north. i'm focus 10 days ago because every day by the i was the price of fuel gets higher every and so in the beginning it would cost the family at around $1000.00 jacobs which is around 350, $250.00. they cannot afford it. right now you've issued a statement saying that what's happening and goes in now is beyond what your team

and envision does a worst case scenario. but things could get even worse, couldn't the yes, unfortunately, if the they you and as they announced are going to stop providing services in the hospital are going to stop their services. honestly, i don't know what could be the situation or did you receive doctors? we have some conflicts with partners with doctors who are providing medicaid services. they are doing surgeries, using vinegar instead of the minimal anastasia requirements. they are treating people on the floor outside the hospital. they are very tired, but still they are trying to find the way. because supply electricity, access to water and the contagious diseases now are breaking up very skinny way in the older crowd that shifted in the u. n. and even beyond what of the information that we get. unfortunately comes only from the filters that are run by it. they

will and we don't even go to what is happening in this, at all the surrounding areas with the ground. it's apartments similar to what my cookies are facing. so this is going to be an immeasurable imagine event. i can't even find words to describe what would happen if this situation continues to be like this, with no humanitarian supply fuel oil to restructure in gaza. and most importantly is the ground invasion acute. and it's all of what we are seeing already now, which is your team doing to prepare for that scenario about a possible ground invasion because everything is pointing towards that a ground operation as, as the, is really government is calling it. what are you doing to prepare for that? i would be very strong with you as good has been providing humanitarian services

for more victims since 1945 since the 2nd world war. however, now in 2023, we are able to put our mandates. over the last days we were able to focus our, our intervention from within gaza. you know that. and also from egypt, what our supplies are on the board. they're not what we try to do is to stick you with what we have on the go. the worst case scenario that we've been out in convention around is nothing compared to what we are seeing now. no one, i'm confirming no one is stupid to intervene. and that invasion of what we are seeing now is already master. we are learning from what we have implemented as good international in mass destruction. but what happens in the, what kentucky, but what we are relating to find is not even working or if not, if a ceasefire is not then no, it's safe environment. it's good boy. the board that he,

when he did and organizations to send the mandate savings like no, we are talking about surviving moment. it's not 3, have any station or destruction and only to head in people in people sort of by the more people. thank you very much for taking time to talk with us today. that was he but tv with the monetary and organization care speaking to us from ramallah in the west. but let's take a look at out. some other headlines connected to the israel, how much conflict? the prime minister of potter says there has been progress and negotiations to free more is really hostages, held by hum us more than 200 hostages were taken by him aust, during its terror attacks on october, 7th for people have been freed so far is real accused of the contract of helping to fund us to separate united nations security council resolutions on the conflicts

and guys have been rejected by us proposal to create humanitarian pauses was vetoed by china and russia both said they would only support a full ceasefire. then a russian resolution called him policies fire failed, with no votes by both the us and u. k. because the measure did not mention a mouse vote. you and chief antonio gutierrez, has rejected his rarely accusations that he justified the most terror attacks on israel. he was criticized for telling the un security council, the attacks did not happen in a vacuum, and called him for an end. what he described as the collective punishment of hosting just volatile situation in the middle east, is set to dominate the summit of european union leader is getting underway in brussels later today. the eu has said it stands in solidarity with israel after the deadly terror attacked by him on us. but different messaging by different member states has come at the expense of the united you response. and observers say it's

also hurting the use credibility within the airport. the streets of a coincidence, divide it for weeks, people have been showing up across europe to express outrage about events in the middle east. free the corridors of power have been divided to with your opinion, struggling to speak with one voice called to her 3. she do cartoon for to a mass or she'd be the and people lose the gauge international. we are friends of israel and when a friend is under attack, we have to send took offense of cause. this is a time for us in spite of this is a time to stop this volume and is, would kind of have to be no secure to, you know, p swing that you through the past 10 years of terrorism continues like this. i talk with steve adds to the mix of commissioners saying funding for palestinians would be suspended only for officials to back truck within hours. and all this makes for foreign policy companies expression james moore and long serv. just one of the used

top middle east invoice, traditionally of course uh the eu has managed to more or less keep on even had that approach that has been, i think, seen by both sides, but a particular on the our upside as being an honest broker. no, something has changed. the initial comments made by president some prime ministers and indeed here in brussels, of the institutions well overboard pro is really and then i think the arrow boiled has reacted quite badly to that and some damage has been done is due. now damage also will display a to recent piece so much in egypt, where comparisons were drawn with western responses to the war and ukraine. anywhere else attacking civilian infrastructure and deliberately starving an entire population of food, water, electricity, and basic necessities would be condemned. and it has been done before recently. is it another concert?

i mean, the rejects allegations of double standards. russia is bombing civilian infrastructure without the pretense of tried to hit a military targets. but in gaza when israel is attacking military targets because i'm us, uses the civilians as human shields. there can be civilians there as well. all this has left some in the so called global south wondering who speaks for europe. and once it even stands for it, we take so with the credibility right off a particular act. so you understand that you, there's only so much that you can expect from younger because see, it is really it down in the divided the you is trying to clarify its position and quite to the company. it's most recent statement, say israel has the right to self defense within the limits of international brussels has also tripled immediate humanitarian age funding for garza but will not be enough to repair the use diplomatic image if we kind of got out of the cycle of violence the does have an important role to play in getting back to some kind of

piece process. so hopefully that will accomplish on whether you can get back to play. it's traditional role as a broker in the middle between on the one hand, the americans and so forth and these writers and the arrow boiled on the other. lauren says, guessing there won't be quick or easy thought to resist reading hostages and post sending civilians trumped inside guns. so time is on no one site skip more of this. now from our correspond christine one was in brussels. christine, what is it exactly the european leaders disagree on regarding their position on the israel home us war a terry going into uh, this uh, counsel of european leaders leasing today. the debate in europe has been on with a quote for a seas file with a quote to quote for you meds here in paws. it's pretty clear by now that a ceasefire is not an option. that's not of a cods, easy, this will most most likely be deciding to date on whether to call for

a humanitarian pause or humanitarian pauses. the bureau, the difference being as a member states, feel that quoting for a few minutes here and pause and the singular is too close to, to cease fire. and c site is just not an option for countries like germany who see a that it would limit israel's rights to defend itself. so going into this, you really have to camps of european member states, a union member states. that is those who are most of pro palestinian. these would be spain, a island for example. we heard a spanish prime minister actually apartment just a call for a few minutes here in seas fire as a very direct language coming from from spain. but then countries who are most of them is storage. israel baptist, who prefer instead to call for humanitarian pauses. they are hesitant or reluctance to limit israel's rights to defending itself in calling for a ceasefire. so, judging by the the woods off, off of the east chip, diplomats, joseph bureau,

he seems to think that a humanitarian pause is more likely outcome because it's, it's much easier to, to it's, it's less of an ambitious sort of objective and much easier to execute from from where he stands at also coming out of the you for him and it says meeting and let some book on monday. they edge to more towards humanitarian pool. so that is will most likely be the outcomes? i just want to quotes alexia's foreign minister who spoke exclusively to d. w, who said to us said look, there is consensus into european union on, on 3 major points that being support for israel, the state of israel. and it's right to defend itself of that. how much was a terror organizations that that needed to be condemned and dealt with sort of saying that civilian lives needs to be protected as well as you know, the consideration of pro israel becuz out would, would emphasize peps one and 2. and then of course, small pro palestinian member states on the 3rd point. so that is not you would be, would be looking to hear from the your opinion. what language did they settle on on

the a call for? he mentioned pause or pauses in the conference in government. okay, that's war number one. what about the use stance towards the war in ukraine, christine, because that has occupied european leaders now already for a long time. has that is their position on ukraine change since the home us attacks on october 7th is absolutely not here in the lot of the leaders will be at paints, the stakes that they don't want. they are not taking their eyes off off the will in ukraine and many ways of course this is a lot closer to home for, for the european union as opposed to what is going on. and guys a while the e u, as you heard, and the report that remains a top donate, in fact, the biggest throw in, at to, to, to jump to the people in gaza. it's not involved militarily in that conflicts. uh, but on the ukrainian side, of course there is, it's a different set of circumstances. so the discussion here is of course, you know,

you will likely here to mold commitments into and solve that re affirming that commitment to ukraine. i'm talking about financial support, more funds are needed in ukraine for ukraine to be able to keep its, its national budget afloat, but also for expenditure on on its military. instead of course, more military commitments are needed. there's also a humanitarian aspect to the situation in ukraine right now because of the rest of the tax. a lot of infrastructure has been damaged and going into the winter. a lot of ukrainians are going to need support in terms of heating their homes and, and keeping woman being able to survive. so there is, of course, you will hear it. european need has been discussing and perhaps making some concrete commitments, financial commitments. that's what we will be listening out for what money will they sit alone to send over to your pre christine, thank you very much. our correspond christine one was in brussels. now to the united states and at least 16 people have been killed and dozens more injured in the shooting in the state of maine and attack or opened fire and several

locations in the city of lewiston, including a restaurant and a bowling alley. police have released pictures of a man holding a rifle who they say who they are calling a person of interest while demand home to find the shooter continues. police have borne residents in lewiston and surrounding areas to stay indoors. to us republicans have elected conservative congressmen, mike johnson of the state of louisiana. as the new speaker of the house of representatives, the vote ends weeks of uncertainty and republican in fighting on capitol hill since the ulster of the previous speaker, kevin mccarthy. the 56 speaker of the united states house of representatives, the honorable mike johnson. after 21 days of lead to the chaos, the us house of representatives finally has a new speaker. so this week, mike johnson, most i left a note and say,

get in us politics. bucks. his sudden elevation has trusted him into the national spotlight to my colleagues. i want to thank you all for the trust that you have instilled in me to lead us in this historic and unprecedented moment. they were in the challenge before us is great, but the time for action is now and i will not let you down to his election ends, the paralysis in the house since the unprecedented ousting of his breed assessor kevin mccarthy. this is the 4th time republicans tried to agree on the need for the speakership. they failed the fast to be the speaker elect mike johnson, the state of louisiana knox conservative and student support or former president donald trump. the new speaker is no stranger to controversial opinions of local opponent. valley g. b t q writes a stringent anti abortionist and 2020 election denied. his success is

a victory to the jumping section and the republican party. and donald trump had some whole months. the new speaker the mark johnson faces alex in the pressing issues, the 1st of which will be reaching a deal to avoid a government shut down by november 17th. and despite the divided nature of politics in the us, many that will be glad the deadline has come to an end. you're watching dw news from berlin. here's a reminder of our top story, this our, the is really our me says it has carried out overnight rates in the gaza strip to attack come us positions. the incursion comes as prime minister benjamin netanyahu
