and they were unwilling to commit to this separates of ties with philip eve. also, some countries that participated were advocating that they use their energy cloud, their investment clouds, to put pressure on the united states to shift course. again, there were some categories there that were not one of them to sign up for that. again, some of those countries are very close to the united states, very dependent on the united states. they were unwilling to commit themselves to actions. these are the washington and the credit, right, created some attentions in their relationships with western powers. you assess, you political risk for a living, what's the risk of a broader regional escalation? well, this is what many people are understandably extremely concerned about right now. i think as israel's, we're on the gossip pro long, so there is a higher risk of this conflict spilling into new parts of the middle east. so far,

it is already spilled into the west bank, syria, southern lebanon, on egypt. we have to keep a close eye on the situation in. yeah, i mean, definitely a lot of concern about the, who's the rebels to rebecca, right. you're on down in the human, getting more involved. that's a big source of concern. also in iraq, you have, i mean even though it's in groups that are staunchly pro palestinian anti is really we have to certainly keep an eye on their conduct to see how they might try to influence the situation in ga. so as well. germany is a foreign minister and elaina bare bach has been on a diplomatic tour of the middle east. what role can germany reasonably play as well? germany has established itself as one of the members that is most hawkish and in favor of the is really government policies. germany has dramatically

increased its arms, exports the israel this year, and especially so since a most wage gets incursion into southern israel. on october, 7th i germany is bending over backwards to demonstrates to benjamin netanyahu government that germany has israel's back, a 110 percent. it will be interesting to see how these divisions within your play out. we're seeing definitely a divided between germany and france. germany is on the side of the spectrum, giving iron clad support to israel right now. go to a coffee, you see go of golf state and a linux. thanks so much. thank you. or germany will increase it to mandatory in aid for the palestinian territories by 38000000 euros for administer. and only a bare bach made the announcement after talks in ramallah,

she later met her is really counterpart in tel aviv. she told reporters why germany is calling for humanitarian pauses, instead of a ceasefire. the impulse of wanting phenomena in general law ceasefire is absolutely something i can understand, but move part of the truth is to look at how satisfied this kind could happen. how much which attacked israel and the 7 does not tobar will how they will behave on the situation thus for each day with reference to israel's or might side defend itself. the question arises, us and whether israel would be able to continue to protect itself against a psychologist, minute attacks because we recognize the issue has the right to defend itself. but at the same time we want to is the suffering and gaza. and this is why we are so vehemently calling for these humanitarian causes fighting which make it impossible to at least end even suffering for that time. for more, i'm joined now by

a dw political correspond to thomas sparrow. thomas get to see you again and germany, germans foreign minister and only to barrow buck is walking. a diplomatic type will appear. i'm calling for humanitarian pauses, but not a full ceasefire. why? other countries are indeed calling already for a cease fire up a drug? and he has been very careful to germany, not the only country being careful that i'm differentiating between these humanitarian pauses or pauses in fighting, and sees fired, which would be a much more formal agreement to end the fighting. there are several reasons that explain this. one is the german, he believes that i by the way, again, not only in germany but a ceasefire. what actually strength and how much? whereas a monetary and pause the main objective there off would be to really open the door for who monetary and age to enter. gaza, which is something that is seen as an urgent priority right now. and there are

experts also here in germany who say that may be a humanitarian pause. come then lead the way to something much more formal like a ceasefire. but it is important to stress that germany and other countries created differentiating between she wanted terry and pauses on the one hand and a more formal cease file and the other some of the viewers right now might be wondering how much political weight germany actually has. and the reader property on its own, the weight is limited by germany as part of the european union. that's another matter. but it's also important distress that germany does play a role that germany does have an interest in the region. and part of that interest is also explaining germany's position. germany's position on the one hand is about clear support towards israel. germany feels it has a special responsibility towards israel security. given germany many would see that

as something wretchedly obvious, given germany's historical responsibility. but it's something that maybe know the parts of the world, especially in the arab world, need some explaining on the other hand to something else the government officials have been doing in recent days. not only are they not bad but, but also german chancellor shows distressing that israel needs to respect the rules of role in particular to allow that you monetary an a to enter gaza to respect the lives of civilians and so on. so that is yet another one of those dilemmas that i know they're not bad because facing when it comes to explaining germany's position when it comes to expanding, what germany would like from all of this on something else that's important to stress is that the conflict is also playing out in some ways here in, in germany, there are tensions here from different sides of the con devin subtests here in germany as well as a rise in december to them in the country. so this also explains why the german government is particularly interested in finding a solution to the conference in the middle east, dw up political correspondent,
