the the, this is dw news live from berlin, a hostage release deal could be closer than ever before. a white house adviser confirmed the contours announcement that israel and time off are edging towards an agreement for the release of dozens of hostages held in garza for more than a month. also coming up more than 30 premature babies, evacuated from gauze as largest hospital arrive in the south of the strip. the when describes the besieged while she the hospital as a death zone. days after is rarely troop storm, the medical complex looking for

a home office command center and a possible pivots into the political right. in argentina, folders are choosing a new president and the south american country. polls are close, but they've put the far right populace malay, slightly ahead. the mariana evans dean is good to have you with us top representatives from the us israel and caught our say they're close to reaching a deal for the release of some of the hostages being held by him off in the gaza strip guitar, a prime minister mohammed al tawny says only minor details remained to be agreed for a mazda free and a number of them more than $240.00 people of kidnapped in the october 7th attacks on israel, a top white house adviser so that he can sions were closer than they had been at

any point or speaking in doha guitars, prime minister's truck and optimistic tone for deal is going through a ups and down from time to time. it's along with the last few weeks. but uh, i think that to, you know, i'm not more confident that we ought to close enough to do each to a data that can bring the people safely back to their homes. with that, are they all of the hostages on how side or what the exchange uh, that's what happened would take guess from those media sites. well, what role is the you playing in the negotiations to get the hostages released? i have naturally told chain director of the italian thing tag is to to, to a sorry internet. so knowing and us former special adviser to the european union's foreign affairs, chief federico maurine. and use

a bureau as well. i would say that the ease roll in the hostage seal is relatively marginal now to the extensive um, hostage deal, which of course we do not know exactly what the details of it. we can imagine that the details obviously on the one hand was into the release of the number of hostages, single funding, choose the release of the number of palestinian prison. this question is, where is it that he's called us in prison is, could end up going and i understand this has been one of the subject of the negotiation. i do not know whether the european countries may be one of those locations to the extent to which that could be a possibility. of course, they would be a european involvement. and then i would say that probably the most significant europeans, i mention, as i said, to the extent that the risk for them it is fairly marginal, is the degree to which a hostage deal would possibly include

a significant optic in humanitarian assistance. and of course, one of the aspects that has been discussed over recent date days is the idea of a maritime card tool from your are you passing to cyprus, onto gas, the directory which on the one hand of course would be extremely important at this particular point in time, on the other hand, i think it's important also to bear in mind that this cannot be a substitute to the territorial access through a bank, of course. so, you know, there is a european role, but as i said, it is really saying on the margins of this particular situation. well, there's been some criticism that the u has failed to put sufficient pressure on israel for a ceasefire. where does the you stand on this issue as well? absolutely, i mean of course that the real problem here is that there is division within the

european union concerning a disease for itself. so we know, for example, if we just take a, by when comparison devote to a couple of weeks ago, after you in general assembly, which causes deed for sci fi. basic, can you sold the way in which european countries fix 3 phones with some supporting some upstanding and some searching against at the moment fox has been the only member state that has very open the cold. so a ceasefire. so the point is we are divided on this in spite of the way in which we have been trying to conceal divisions, has been on the one hand focusing on this question of humanitarian assistance, which i was mentioning a moment ago. i'm on the other hand focusing on the day off. however, the contradiction in the discussions about the day off to is that the, the way in which that day will look,

will fundamentally depend on when the ceasefire action takes place. right? i mean, you know, the day off to tomorrow will look very different from the day off to a year from now. right. you know, there is a real open question of what will be guys if the war as we see it now, will go on for many months. so meanwhile, as the casualties in gaza continue to mount and just how much longer can israel continue? it's military operations in this trip without losing support from western eyes as well. i mean, you know, i think it's important to bear in mind that it is already only western allies that support the ongoing for as we know it so already is full, has lost. we lost the rest of the wells, right. and i think it's important to highlight this because the rest of the well increasing the max is in a way in which in previous was um, you know, it's, it,

you know, the rate of the social risk has been increasing over overtime. and of course, you know, i think it's also important to highlight the fact that within the west itself, not only has that been a relatively, in the sense, oh, divided between governments and public opinions on this particular question. but there is also a growing divide between official institutions and their respective political most as we had seen this within the commission, we have seen it in capitals in paris involved in, in rome. what basically there is growing discomfort in foreign ministry use with the position taken by governments. and i think all this sort of pushes those governments uh, you know, especially as the number of civilian casualties to increase to increasingly so the field, the discount instead of the position of the whole thing. that was natalie top she

from the state to, to a friday into that. so natalie. many, thanks. indeed for your insights. thank you. well, more than 30 premature babies have been evacuated from gauze of the largest hospital and are now in the south of the territory. the u. n. has described that the siege dell schafer hospital as a dead zone after is really troops, storms medical complex looking for a home off command center premature babies in the cause and hospital media. gyptian border, a medical stuff, a fighting to save their lives. they were born and now she the hospital and got the city has never worked, incubators, medicine, or even clean water between it's really brocade or something that has the largest comfort that even the water used to make. the baby formula was polluted
