starts november 20 d w. the . this is due to the news wind from berlin operation suspended at guns as big as hospital bahamas run health authority says the chief and medical complex has run out of fuel doctors and other facilities hit by power cuts insist they will not stop treating the wounded despite working by torchlight in germany's for administer continues heard mediation efforts in the middle east, and elaina very hard to meet with palestinian authority officials in the west bank . after a stop in the united arab emirates,

as air of leaders gathered for an emergency summit, there is little sign of any lit up in the fight. it is real. pushes deeper into a gossip and hits targets in southern lebanon. the, i'm michael, look who welcome the health authority run by him oss and gauze. i says operations at its biggest hospital have been suspended because the facility has run out of fuel hamas and the director of el she for hospital se 13 people were killed by israeli air strikes at the sight. israel denies targeting hospitals, but says her most command posts are located under buildings in the area for a newborn in gaza. her grandmother says they fled out. she's a hospital following and attacked, walking for hours to seek safety. she was born at 6 30

am and at night and we flat, she and her mother didn't rest. she didn't even get breast fat or journey. it's a journey of torment. tens of thousands have fled south and recent days as is really operations intensify in the area around l. she's the hospital it's where according to and is really government spokesperson masters headquarters are located. israel says the militants have built tunnel networks under public facilities. so i must dash, because it's almost sizes, heights and hospitals, even when i type in humanitarian facilities, it heightens it was because it does all these actions that i was trying against international law. and i'm sure we will continue to expose this to the world. i mean, people continue to expose the phase of homeless, isis, and hesitate of this organization,

because that's cynically exploits who many duty and festivities in the quarter and come in just a few kilometers away. doctors at another hospital are without power calls for the protection of civilians. and medical facilities in gaza are growing louder. the i'm waiting for an operation. and the machines are turned off. as you see. there is no electricity. the money. i'm very thirsty, but i'm not allowed to drink or eat until the operation is done. oxygen and medicines are dwindling, leaving gas as most vulnerable, with nowhere else. to turn like martin is a former british army officer and senior fellow in the department of war studies at

kings college, london. i asked him how these real defense forces, rude out homeless soldiers, while minimizing their own casualties. so come on and control sensor is a slightly strange ton for minutes in group because that's not how they operate. they open right themselves, but let's say that there is a grouping of how much that in the, in very simple, in blunt tons these writing, these can use and asked article missile strikes to take out those, how much flights is but of course then they have the problem of legality and weighing up the inevitable civilian casualties that will be caused by such a strike. they're all things that they could use um, obviously encouraging civilians to leave the sides and then they can use things like special forces, right? or even the so called s p v, the little dry ins with the videos that can fly in and then explode. just small explosives, the games, pin put targets. there are some those are some of the ways that they could use

a to minimize civilian casualties in the tax such as that it's also true perhaps that if a moss is in fact hiding beneath those hospitals, it's likely that is really hostages. are there too? right, this again, you know, i'm not so sure about that. i think, you know, i think we can potentially take it at face value that there are how much targets in and around the hospital. but both sides want the hostages to survive is well, obviously once and supervised because of that house just besides thomas. because they all the bargaining chips. so i would think the actually the hostages appropriately dispersed all over the place. i'm particularly in very deep tunnels, whether unlikely to be killed in the buffalo because ultimately as a special jewels to expose those hostages or what give how much current see to trade. so i'd be very surprised if they were putting them in a military targets. but if you with the id f and you believe that they may be

your, your king's people, they're being kept in those tunnels that you might have to sort of minimize at the very least the force with which you use again. so most fighters potentially, um, also you know, hey the to and that you guys really behavior the behavior of the audience has changed over the last month. they have certainly been taking a lot more account solve, excuse the time, the collateral damage and civilian casualties at the beginning. i think a, a paid that'd be taking a lot less concerned of that. but i'm not so sure i, i think, as i said both sides already trying to avoid those those hostages and they're looking for more of a more of a straight sites. so let's talk just briefly, little bit more about the analysis alleged tactics of hiding beneath, you know, sensitive civilian side. what do we know about that?

uh uh, so this is, this is pretty common um with militant groups all over the world. and it is to create the glamorous in this case for the id s. and also because you know, we, we will never forget that. how much does really represent the population of all the obviously they have some support is amongst that population. but actually it had us a terrorist group that, that rules gauze, not necessarily has the consensus ahold of the population. so in some cases they will see those palestinian civilian casualties as acceptable collateral damage in the same way as you know is right. the civilians have died in the classes. really what we have here is 2 sides that are fighting and civilians on both sides. losing out me. mike martin, senior fellow at kings college london,

no doubt will continue to see more of you. many facts. thank you for the german foreign minister has met with palestinian leaders in the west back. and elaina bare bach will also hold talks with her is really counterpart the like cohen in tel aviv later this evening. the trip comes on the heels of a meeting with golf state leaders, including the united arab emirates, saudi arabia and capital bear buck discuss efforts to free german hostages being held by moss, as well as the humanitarian crisis in gaza. is what she said after the talks to him in all my life. naturally in my law, he pushed back we spoke, 1st of all about the terrible situation in gaza. indulged on the a journalist in this news now, you know, as journalists know, how deeply moving on, how concerning this, as for the german government. but once again, i'd like to emphasize here in my life that no one here in europe can be left closed

by the terrible images we've been seeing. 9 in the last few weeks, i'm see small children covered in blood funds from under the rubble of their building. or in hospital not knowing where their parents are, send it to a sign of recent. then of course it doesn't just affect you as a politician, it affects you shall receive it. in my case, as a mother dw special correspondent, abraham is in jerusalem. she gave us her take on bare books statement just trying to strike a balance, and she's also trying to reach out to the people in this region in that part of the world. she cited her recent visit to jordan, where she was talking to posting and refugees there for of course of post and you and refugees, and people with palestinian heritage are spread across the region and they very much so are affected by what's going on in god. so that's why you see so much anger right now at what's going on and goes up across the region. and she recalled the

conversation that she had with the palestinian refugee. they're talking about their relatives in gaza. so she was really attempting to recognize also the anger that's coming from the region because of germany has very good relations with countries that are surround the surround is real like egypt and jordan. and so she really was trying to, you know, the, the diplomat in this situation, she recognized the pain and suffering of people in gaza and the people in israel, of course, as a result of the terror attacks seeing that each life or is it is worth the same be that and is really life for a palestinian life. a big feed for germany as well is the issue of humanitarian aid . and the foreign minister said that in 2023 germany will be, will have given, i mean, we're not at the end of the year yet. but within 2023 germany will have given posting in territories a 160000000 yours and 8. but that isn't getting to people and gods are right now.

and that's why she also talked about the need for humanitarian pauses. so that that 8 can reach the people that needed the most. she didn't talk about a cease fire. remember there's is a difference. and there is a debate between countries at 18 immediate cease fire and countries that are calling for pauses. and so it remains the german position that what is needed now is a humanitarian pause because a ceasefire could potentially strengthen from us. another thing that really stood out to me, michael, was when she started talking about violence in the west bank. um, this is, you know, with all eyes on what's going on. and guys, are we seeing since october 7th, a, an increase, a sharp increase in settler violence against palestinians. so settlers that live in, you know, there's settlements are legal under international law. and that has led to the increasing displacement of palestinian bedouin communities because of that settler

violence. and she said very clearly as she, as, as driven has said before, that since this is happening in occupied territory, that is controlled by israel. israel has the responsibility to ensure the safety and security of these palestinian territories. this also has a sort of long term purpose, this condemnation because the powers to the west bank is supposed to form the heart and the core of any future palestinian state. and so if we're just continuing the cycle, we're more we're, we're more and more land is the, is illegally occupied or controlled, or if the posting is don't feel safe there then that it's not really productive towards a 2 state solution with which germany has set time and time again is the solution to the cycle of violence, a dw, the abraham there in jerusalem. for more now i'm joined by dw political

correspondent, thomas sparrow. thomas, let's get straight to it. what did you make of bare bucks, comments? i mentions the need to strike a balance when it comes to the german position. and i think that is very important because it gives an idea of why german officials are actually traveling but only to the palestinian territories, which weighs real, but also to the parts of of the region because germany has on various occasions. but in particular, obviously in recent weeks, stress that it's done by the side of israel, that is, it is germany's special responsibility if you will, to help guarantee israel's security. that is something that maybe for germans here seems obvious, given germany's historical responsibility. but to something that needs further explanation in other parts of the region where the conflict is maybe seen to a different plans in a different way. so that's one side of germany's position does one side of that need to strive to balance. the other side is a gemini, has clearly stated not only, and i babbled for our minister,

but the german chancellor as well. that it is important for israel to respect the rules of will. 3rd is important for israel to protect civilians to also help guarantee that humanitarian aid reaches gaza. and that's the 2nd element of germany's position one that was seeing also by different german politicians. i imagine that that's something that are in nevada. kelly discussed in her talks with palestinian officials. i clearly expect that that's something that you will also discuss with is radio official does something that's coming next. we only have about 15 seconds, thomas, but i'm going to ask you any way. do you think they've heard comments will have any impact on the ground, not the media to but i do think that we have to understand this in a wide uh position by understanding that i babbled with one of many west. indeed us coming to to the region. so i would look at this from the view of something much wide of interest, the german position, dw, political correspondent, thomas beryl,
