the the, this is vito, the news live from berlin is real time asked for is, is now under way. a pause and fighting brings people to the streets in gaza with an exchange of hostages and prisoners expected in just a few hours or so. coming up. we don't know if he's lots of good 49 days in today that we speak to the daughter of a come us hostage and desperate for word of her missing father. also in the shop trucks entered garza from egypt with a vital age. the relief is part of the deal for the 4 day temporary seats for

the unpopular fund in yes, thanks for joining us. the highly anticipated troops between israel and thomas is now underway. this is the seen live looking over guys from israel, a ford, a temporary cease fire appears to be holding ahead of a non test page it hostage prisoner swap later today, it follows weeks of the most intense fighting in the is randy thomas conflict now after such a major destruction on the strip. it's hardly a return to normally thing for the people of gaza. but this pause in hostilities is allowing summit now to move about with relative freedom. after

a week send to them bod meant people are back on the streets across the guys. the street, like here in con eunice in the south. the forward a truce may be fragile, but even a short break and fighting is welcome. definitely move on. we look at the truth as a way to breathe after 45 or 48 days of suffering for us guys, since i'm from kansas city and i was displaced the rough. i hope the truth is taking effect and all of god's upstream in order to see my demolished house and what's left of it. and what about the lord? i can just like collab many palestinians who fled southwards, have been hoping to use the allowing fighting to return to their homes in the north . but is rarely planes have dropped the leaflets warning against that thought that the if i look, i don't think we can go back to god's the city of this moment because of that announcement from the israeli army and the from where they are for bidding the

displays living in the south from heading north and what it was you both in general at the luxury, the at the rough across thing on the age of guys, a border. a tracts have been entering the territory. states was a key component of the truth and they'll be bringing much needed fuel and food supplies for as long as the seeds far less mobile. we had a lot of loss. just say this will let people read, move, eat, and drink. because the situation is difficult and all resident from the north are in gruff, without food on the water. and i hope it's a chance for people to live and move around and we wish it's an introduction for a permanent troops. the trend is really almost vehicles have been filmed heading away from the territory. but israel's male tree has warned that its

troops going nowhere. and that the war against, from us is not over less cross over now to our special correspondence. abraham who's following the story for us in jerusalem, a great sea again. so the temporary cease far came into effect several hours ago. are the 2 sides adhering to it. we are in the very early hours of what is very, very delicate, temporary cease fire. and while there have not been any major bombings, rocket, fire, or artillery strikes both sides of accuse each other of a minor sporadic violations. but so far the cease fire, the temporary cease fire seems to be holding, but the situation is very vala tile. it's unclear if uh, how mass has control over all of its fighters in the gaza strip. and there are, of course, not the only armed militant group in the strip. and so for days of

a temporary cease fire, a lot could go wrong and a lot could happen. there's also the question of what if these really military, within these 4 days identifies a high value target? it will then be confronted with the difficult choice of going after that target or continuing with the cease fire. the situation on the ground for civilians also very vala tile fears from the is really side that civilians and the south will want to be will want to start heading to the north as we touched on in that report. and there warning them with leaflets, not to do that, not to go back to the north as this really, the army says that is still a very dangerous part of the guys, a strip of 4 civilians. a. how were people in israel feeding now that the pause and fighting is on their way? and there's a, it's a mixed ceiling. there's of course,

a lot of release and joy and at the hostages that will hopefully be released starting today. that's an emotional rollercoaster, especially for the hostage families who are as we speak, getting phone calls waiting for phone calls. that could be the ones that tell them that their loved ones are on their way. there's also a sense of dread that even with the steel, we're only talking about 50 women and children out of more than $200.00 hostages, believe to be held by from us. and not everyone will be coming back under the terms of the deal as it stands at the moment. there's also criticism for that deal coming from a minority in the, in is really politics the right wing, a minority, but a very vocal one that has been from the beginning, staunchly opposed to this deal, claiming that it plays into how masses advantage. and that the for that the

militant group will be using this time to recalibrate regroup, and that this cease fire puts it in a better position to attack israel and to delay israel's timeline to reach its goals, which is ultimately eradicating from us completely from the gaza. strip and yeah, this is planned for, for dies for israel's ministry says it's already preparing for what it says are the next stages of this war. what more can you tell us about that as well the, we have very clear a very clear message from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that the war is not over and that the fighting is continued. it is expected pardon to continue once to cease fire, or the temporary cease fire has expired and that's because according to is really officials. the goal was to eradicate from us completely is yet to be achieved. up until the very beginning of the ceasefire,

we saw intense fighting and bombardment of the strip. and according to the idea until the very last minute, they say they were still in the process of destroying how masses a tunnel network. so as far as these really side is concerned, the square root continue after the temporary spar, although they have also signaled that they are willing to extend a temporary cease fire by one day for 10 hostages. so it's unclear what exactly will happen, but as far as the is really site is concerned, the words by no means over and their goals have not yet been achieved. thanks a data view corresponding to abraham in jerusalem as well for guys as to 1000000 plus residents the true spring, some hope of a rest bite from weeks of sustained is ready, bombardments and shortages of basic supplies. fuel tankers and a trucks have begun entering the gaza strip from egypt through the rough crossing.

egypt says 130000 liters of diesel and 4 trucks of gas will be delivered daily to gaza, as well as 200 trucks of other 8. he is right, the blockade of fuel has made it virtually impossible for hospitals and other basic services to operate inside the territory. well, earlier i spoke to during this kareem, larry in cairo and i asked them for the latest on the delivery of aid and supplies to guys a well it just shows the storage. it says that the agreement is that over the next 4 days. honda that strictly sells and because of diesel and guess will across the strip at the need on the other side to just run the basic things and governance about the amount for this was settled for the 6 to 4 days so that they will allow 200 trucks a day was released 8 the 1st,

the fuel trucks already went over this morning and the we are expecting also that to about a 100 policy and insurance people will cross over to be treated in the egyptian hospital. the fruits between 2 of them already entered egypt this morning since the twos and their kareem and you've mentioned fuel there, but what kind of supplies are also being delivered apart from fuel? a fuel, very important cooking guess for the 1st time since the 7 weeks that they can get cooking gas say of course, like other things like water, urgency needed, kentwood tens and other medical supplies. all right, okay. and now tell us about the urgency. am in guys for this material. when we have a cameraman who's working for us here in cairo and in the southern go this troop

and he sent us pictures yesterday. this basically 3 things that urgency needed. one of them is electricity and to and the fuel. and he said those pictures how people are like the car. batteries are basically the sticking central supplies in, in cars that right now, people are charging their phones and charging the power banks. we stop at the reset, what's the callback to restore the energy supplies of the don't piece for transport most of the goods that most of the persons who are transported right now, a transfer if, if i don't pick carts because i said also no petrol available. it, the last big issue is walter. they're saying like the water, it's not fit for the drinking. they're having there. and also not enough for the basic hygiene. one woman said to us that once in 2 weeks, she's able to take a shower, reco kareem. what does this 1st day of this pause and fighting mean for palestinians,

or what you can see big really if the pictures we can get see out there is for the 1st time children playing on the streets, people are going out in the boat. it was out here and of course lots of people trying to get to their houses. is that the where destroyed also possibly can the southern gaza strip trying to get out basic needs they have from their houses. and one of the problems is of course the people are doing the same thing and trying to get. ready to the houses the north across the street, which it is really army has 4 people. and that's right. and always i think the biggest point, the friction at this border this rate is dropped dropped between the northern of the southern cause us to that is a free sure point that might actually even been danger the ceasefire it on time to kareem during this karima l gregory in cairo let's cross

over to bushera kelly the policy lead at ox from thank you for joining us on the domain and use. tell us how we're having that time. what's your age? can your organization deliver in these 4 days? and i'm, what are you actually focusing on? i mean, you have to understand that many of our organizations actually operate from jerusalem . we usually have responded to previous escalations and responses and guys off to get them up with that. we're not used to operating 8 operations, and this is, this is an unprecedented humanitarian response to read off a supply which has to be established registration has to view stablish for those who don't have like, ok. then you need to have agreements with partners that are operating, most of our organizations, all 3 trusted partners that were inside the community that know that community.

they have all been, they have almost their homes, mazda, unlimited. and maybe as many of them have been killed in the, in the, in this bill years like so, it's an extremely challenging up a response, logistical operation. but it's also not and not the, the, the difference that we're seeing is that there's no environment and that you know, in addition to people being able and children being able to play outside, people can also sleep. people haven't slept properly in the last 2 months. and i don't think any of us can have a real understanding of what that means to not be able to have a one good night sleep. so i'm hoping that god rooms today have a good night sleep without the sound of drones, and the sound of the bottom is constant over their heads in terms of the delivery. i hope that also delivery essential delivery in is needed in the north end of this

happens. but we haven't seen any text of the agreement. so we don't know whether, for example, it has been agreed that there would be safe passage provided on uh on both ways. now we're seeing that is a civilian people to go, you know, families to be able to go back to their homes, check on their homes. you can bring some clothes, winter is approaching, you know, people don't have it prepared to be displaced for this amount of time. my family and in yes and no, go ahead. you were saying you have family there, one of the day being the and there, you know, the question is, is that they don't trust is real to respect the trust because they didn't in 2014. and they don't respect because of what happened on the evacuation roots in the last 2 months where people, i mean, or the last couple of weeks, let's say, where people were shot at. they were interrogated,

they were the teen river humiliated. they were asked to walk with their arms up swimming that i do use when evacuating to the south. i mean, what are we going to see on those routes and, and my family, you know, they should be able to go back home to get some clothes. maybe they have some food that they have, you know, stocks knowing that the war was approaching and not knowing that they'd be displaced on my family has decided not to go to the north that many people will have tried. and now we've just seen the leaflets. uh so. so what does that mean? and why are people not being allowed to go back to their homes? it is another, you know, question on the not it does is i just wanted to ask that 4 days of know from partners he's not people to it does have you built homes. it doesn't allow women to deliver safely and dignified space. it doesn't allow people to recover from critical, you know, injuries,

we're talking about tens of thousands of critical it is series. so, you know, it right or us it's, it's almost insulting, viewing as a monetary and a organizations to be asked to deliver this amount of age. the 2200000 people in a very short amount of time. why don't we really suppose to it? how are we supposed ride deliverables? sure, i just wanna ask you a very quick thing. so, so far, i mean, the truth has held up, you know, we're only several hours into it. but it appears that, you know, it's holding up for now. and you're saying it's not enough age. and you also mentioned that i guess is it just a goal challenges and the reality for people on the ground. tell us a little bit more about that logistical issue once the a does get into guys a how is it distributed and how is it getting it to people? oh um ask for awesome where operate where is still operating to partners. so we

have, for example, a partner called just do it in the north that helps pregnant women. they will it be expecting some medical supplies to be provided to shelters because we have pregnant women actually delivering in shelters because the hospitals and then once have been non operational, we know that there are some humanitarian teams coming in, but we have no idea of what the sizes that you and will be providing that information that data later. so that to avoid confusion on the number of trucks and how those were distributed. mainly those are being done to a few international humanitarian organizations. the united nations and the addiction, red crescent, of course the, you know, this is, is delivering a big part of the operation. but again, you can only imagine the logistical challenge orthodontics. oops, no electricity, no running water. it's, it's the same challenges that we've been space thing in the last couple weeks. that will be my last 4 days. we'll have to leave it there. thanks. bush or heli,

the policy need at altima. thank you. so german presidents has received german nationals who were able to leave gaza in the past few weeks at a private meeting in berlin. frank file to stein maya was given the 1st time reports about the situation in the territory. among those talking about their experiences were families of germans of palestinian descent as well as the doctor who worked at the out chief a hospital which has been the focus of his radio tax and recent days. more than 200 german nationals have left guys a through the roof of border crossing to egypt. while for the families of those hostages, held by comments and guides of the past few weeks have been ribbon with despair on trauma. now the troops could see some of them safely returned at last of 2 weeks of waiting. the families of hostages hope their loved ones. we've come home

soon. i want to hope, i hope, hope, hope that it's going to happen. we've been on such a roller coaster for the past. certainly the past a week, but since october 7th, between despair and trial mind code. i just want to see the children come back. now, master group has agreed to release 50 civilian women and children of which 13 ought to be released in the 1st batch on friday. and exchange is really set to release 150 palestinian prisoners, mostly females and teenage males. over the course of the truce. the deed, mediated by god, are also includes affordable and fighting in both the north and south of the gaza strip, as well as increase to monetary and aid. even though the agreement is considered a break to both sides have remained cautious about st. 2 months before it's materializes based on certain circumstances with his thoughts and his truth,

i mean hope is that this humanitarian choose will give us all the opportunity to look into the bigger task which used to implements a permanent truce might be able to achieve long lasting piece that that you met with, you'd like to fix that um, in, in efforts are being made to extend the tools beyond the full day period, which is well insist it will resume its military operation and garza until it has eradicated. hum, us all know, joined by i'm on our own, who is a professor of international politics of them, at least at city university in london. welcome to dw and use. so tell me how much of an accomplishment in your opinion, is this temporary cease fire from a political perspective or what i think. first of all, the definition i think is a temporary pause rather than a ceasefire. i think from a political point of view, it is a significant achievement, primarily on the won't have enter the united states. on the other hand,

they have been able to bring is rather from us to agree to this deal. assuming, of course, that the 1st group of hostages, it does is indeed release that the full truck is really fine. so just to reach that agreement from the point of view of those 2 states, i think it is a significant political achievement. now, there are 19 calls internationally for a longer loss, and you called or pause there. it's a temporary pause, but a longer lasting sees far we'll say how would that impact is rails aim of fighting hom, us? this is where really there was a divergence, very government has repeatedly submitted that what we're seeing today for the next 4 days at this point. as opposed rather than c 5, simply because it is concerned that

a c 5 was effectively constrained and perhaps even prevented from achieving its state. the goal is mainly to eliminate how much is minutes already capability and its ability to govern over the gaza strip. those other 2 games that these really government has set for itself, the assessment in his role is the cease fire will effectively prevent the men from achieving those goals. okay? but if they're saying that, what will then how, what other alternatives are there? what i think at the moment, these re government and these really military find to use this period to regroup, to refresh the military operational plans. we've seen these really on spokesman to declare the northern gaza strip is still a military zone. and that's really the background for these really at the moment preventing or trying to prevent some guidance to return to their homes. but i think

at the same time the situation is very fluid. at the moment, introduced accessible, there is still mounting pressure and is to increase the number of hostages that we return from being in captivity with some us to do that. how much will fun for a long period of oppose after this point? and you can find fun slates. uh, the existing pulls into a ceasefire. so that's one set of pressures that these ready government is, is facing. and the other one, of course, is the humanitarian total that has been accepted on because the strip, especially in the context of the wants of these really government at the moment, is really we'll have to strike a balance between on the one hand achieving the strategic goals that it set for itself, mainly eliminating how much is military capability and its political ability to govern the gaza strip. but on the other hand, resisting the pressure that we're mount to try and secure the release of the stages,

which would mean prolonging the fools is perhaps even reaching the ceasefire, which seems to be something that will stand in the way of achieving those strategic goals from the perspective of how much, what does this pause mean for them and how is it impacting them as well? so how much to pause is, is a, is a very positive development on 2 front festival. it allows us to regroup, and potentially also to replenish some of this emission, assuming that it has some smiling roots still available to it. but i think on the strategic level of the main battle from us to actually amazing and power is just fine with stime. these really so assuming that there's role now continuing to the central and southern parts of the, of the gaza strip. eventually we bring these raise to how to reverse sci fi and a that point, how much still being, if you like, standing on its feet,

although perhaps severely damaged, as almost how much is able to remain if you like, standing on its feet politically. and militarily, if the sci fi is declared, it will be in a good position from his point of view to restore, to go over the gaza strip. and it will also be able to claim that is on has not been able to defeat it. not withstanding the boss amounts of fire power that it is used since the beginning of the war. so for how much actually extending the pauses into eventually a permanency fire. and then of course, by increasing depression by minute vice video, going back to the gaza strip will put these readings in a very different position. and on our, on a professor of international politics for ron, thank you. you're welcome. thank you for having me to what an exchange for the release of hostages this uh,

temporary sees far deal. we'll also see 150 palestinian prisoners fried from is randy childs over the next 4 days. a 2nd exchange could then find out later, today's prisoner release is expected to happen here at the ofer military jail in the occupied westbank. $39.00 palestinian prisoners will be handed over to the international committee of the red cross among them $24.00 women and 15 teenage boys. israel's justice ministry has identified 300 palestinian prisoners as slated for release. their names are compiled in a list that includes a 144 men aged 18 years old. 123 miners. 33 girls and women with the youngest prisoners, aged 14 well, during this husband, pollution was in guys up until recently, hans, and joins us now from the jordanian capital. a man has him good to see you again.

so what do we know about the palestinian prisoners that will be released today? what we know the um to to 9 prisoners a 20 for women and the rest would be a teenager. is it going to be released at for a a b, m local time? all the prisoners are gathered from different prisons into one present an offer in any of my lot the these, these prisoners will be handed to that with the cross. and those who are from joes that in with go to the city or was it in and the rest will be gathering a be tonia in nearby my law and their families will be waiting for them there and they will be handed and they travel to their homes and places all over this, as i agreed and in the, the full day at boz, between how my son is. well, now israel's, just as

a ministry has identified 300 potter standing and prisoners as slated for release. many of them teenage boys and women. what kind of offences are they being held for? or its, um, uh, according to the names where, where we least they are. you know, most of them were arrested recently and some of them and mean during the war from different cities from the west band, with the men or, or teenagers. and the 2 prominent names that die here in about that the 2 women were actually one women and one teenager, a young garr and a sort of job. these who was from tourism. and she was sentenced to the because of accused the fed trying or attempting to, to attack is what eighty's and the editor was and him and the other one was sitting up with her mad as she was 14,

a good time when she was arrested and she was sentence for 12 years now. she's 16 and she's going to be released later today. how have the families of these prisoners been reacting to their release and unpolished indians in general? so this is definitely those assignments music's it, especially those who are, you know, their, their, their members or people going to be with needs. they are happy and they are satisfied. i, i watched and i so many of them they were cheering and happy for release and they are hoping for, for others to be released as well. they are small amount or small number off of the student in prison is held in is what 80 jails we are talking about over 7000 philistines are in, in, in the eighty's or 80 deals. and the whole of them, they are looking for their sons and, and, and people.
