exchange afford a truce between israel and thomas got underway upon them, finding things people onto the street and the gaza strip. the nicole fairly, thank you so much for joining us. the 1st group of hostages, held by him off in the gaza strip, has been freed. international. red cross confirmed tomas release. 20 for hostages. among them are, is released, has been freed and exchanged for israel releasing palestinian between the swap is part of the deal brokers by guitar. also among the free account is, are a group of tie nationals and one person from the philippines. but their release was negotiated separately. from the deal between israel and come on. and again, that is israel has released 39 palestinian prisoners as part of the agreement. a

group of fell assuming inmates made of, of women and teenage boys have been released near ramallah in the occupied westbank for the cross representatives received the group under the deal. israel is expected to release a total of $150.00 pounds, standing in exchange for 50 hostages, held by some journalist. some circle isn't jerusalem. following today's events very closely saw me 24 of the hostages taken on october 7th. are free very emotional day for israel, i imagine. yes indeed, the i would say that the mood here is quite the beep, although of course people are still thinking of those that are left behind, especially family members that are still left behind as the hostages are now in the military base in this south of is rarely in the air force base had to

leave and the after is some why they will be sent to various hospitals and then the hospitals. they will meet the members of their families and they will go through another checkup. but i continue with the officials that have met them so far are quite content with their became a situation. and the all of them seem to be in a l. k. a situation. but students are going to go to these hosp, but there's a for more checkups and also it to be examined by a psychologist. and so as to have like a soft entrance with the loved ones. that an exchange $39.00 palestinians were released from a prison in the west bank. what can you tell us about them to well, being a celebrations industry to be doing the uh, uh,

people out in the streets waving a palestinian flags and also how mosque the flags and the at the same time in east jerusalem, the police instructed the families no to celebrate in any way and even to avoid visits of relatives is so you have those will come to their homes in east jerusalem . and they're basically though surrounded by their families. and at the same time, we're seeing big celebrations in between the uh, in the remodel area. and i can tell you that from what we hear in the media, they've been thinking how much that they've been thinking the i'm doing or how much for their release. all of this was of course only possible because of a pause in finding that came into effect on friday morning. how is the truth holding up something? yeah, when the boys all in all has gone quite smoothly. and the,

with these ran, these are still waiting for the list of the hostages that will be released the tomorrow. and they were supposed to get this news, but they haven't received it yet. but we're talking about the 10 to 13 hostages that will be released tomorrow in terms of the gaza strip. there was friction between the soldiers and guardians, who were going a to the city of god that were going from the south and sent of the gaza strip it to the northern part of the gaza strip. many of them wanted to, to see their homes. many of them wanted to take their belongings. other came a to, to bury the loved ones that are under the rubbing. and the is really a forces a name, many places they prevented them and they were, should be using tear gas. but all in on a is considered to have gone this smoothly. what can you tell us about the situation at the rough off border crossing, regardless humanitarian aid and whether injured people are being allowed to leave?

yeah. will they were a couple of 100 the trucks that went in from egypt into the guns and stripped through the alpha crossing. and we saw these trucks going up north and also crossing into the area that is, is still under is really occupation, namely the city of the gaza. and the, the also being the ambulances, it take injured is through that crossing it to the allowed each hospice in, in, in the sinai. but i think there are still many there who have expected to be able to leave. and they've seen that they're still the stranded, and of course, many people today. so the destruction the destruction of their own homes in gaza. and so bodies and the it was on the one have a happy day for the fact that there was no bombing. but on the other hand,

people were saying and god that they didn't have food and the water and the so forth. sure. unless somebody circle in jerusalem many thanks for that, which will some more insight on the release of the hostages and the release of the policy and prisoners and the wider political situation. israel, i'm now joined by the w as melinda criminal. and the so good to see that 24 hostages have been released and exchange 39 palestinian prisoners are free. now, after what we've seen, would you say that this 1st day of this deal being implemented has been a success? certainly so far so good. as we heard things have gone according to plan. there was some minor fire apparently after 7 day on wednesdays far began. but if then come down and we haven't seen any breaches since and indeed, aid trucks have entered the gaza strip,

badly needed humanitarian aid. and we have seen this, this prisoner release on the side of the, of the israel is and the hosted release on the side of her mouse. so all of that conforms to the agreement. this is an agreement with a lot of complex parts. we still have 3 days to go, so i think it's too soon to declare success, but certainly many people will be breathing a sigh of relief so far on both sides. i'm here in germany as well because 4 of the hostages that have been released are german dual nationals. how have reactions here in germany, but so far we've, we've mostly heard from the foreign minister on the lena bear bock who was absolutely instrumental in making this happen. she has gone back and forth conducting vertical shuttle diplomacy, and that diplomacy included not only outreach to israel to show german solidarity.

and by the way, when you say, do nationals, of course these are german is rarely citizens. the ones who were released, they are a mother with 2 very young daughters, 2 and 4 years of age and, and of 77. all of them connected with the cube. what's near us, where essentially have us turned terrace conducted around page. so undoubtedly some very, very troubling scenes that they witnessed when they were taken, but they are healthy. they have been released. so and elaina bear, bach essentially going to the region again and again pleading for the release and visited in countries as well, including lab and on jordan neighboring countries in an effort to get them to intervene. 11 non, of course, home to his ball, the, the other palestinian, the militia of which is so closely associated with iran and also with some us. so

she said she is deeply relieved. she talked about the thought of seeing a father embracing his 2 young daughters. once more and she made it clear that this is a moment of great joy for the german government and said she hopes that the hostile release will continue with that the many others were being held probably also including other german nationals. yeah. many israelis blame benjamin, the prime minister for what happened on october 7th, some 70 percent over 70 percent. i think according to recent polls, want to see him resigned. can this deal and it's hopefully successful implementation help him politically. i think it will be a pause at most a temporary stabilisation. those who are critical will remain critical because they are looking back and saying october 7th wouldn't have happened if you had taken your eyes off the ball. the ball of course being

a political solution for palestinian so that the 2 peoples can with side by side. and essentially benjamin that's on yahoo had tried to size line that to say i'm concentrating on disagreements with neighboring arab countries. but we're just going to can change, the palestinian said essentially delegate that to him us as it were. so that so that, that approach, say the critics was very much the reason to that. the pent up frustration and anger in gaza strip essentially culminated in october 7th. there are many other as is rarely so do not take that point of view. who believes that if israel had not ended its own, your occupation of guys in 2005, perhaps this would never have occurred. so what we see there is that israel is a deeply polarized country. and in such countries, it is rare to see people change sides quickly due to any single event. and that is

certainly, i think the case here people will be relieved on all sides in israel. but those are critical have not had yahoo will still want to see his term in office. and at the latest when the military operation ends, let's do that. we use melinda crane. thank you so much for speaking to you. for guys, us 2000000 plus residents, the truce, bring some hope of a response from weeks of sustained is really bombardment. in short, it is a basic supplies fuel tankers and trucks with a have become entering the gaza strip from egypt through the roof are crossing. egypt says 130000 leaders of diesel and 4 trucks of gas will be delivered daily to gaza as well as 200 trucks of other 8. these rarely fuel blockade has made it difficult for hospitals and other basic surfaces to operate inside the territory. after such major destruction on the strip, it's hardly

a return to normally for the people of gaza. but this pause and hostilities is allowing some now to move about with relative freedom of to 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 breaking fighting is welcome. definitely move on and we look at the truth as a way to breathe after 45 or 48 days of suffering for us. god's sense. i'm from god's the city and i was displaced the rough. i hope the truth is taking effect and all of god's us true in order to see my demolished house and what's left of it. the lower left hand, just like her led 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

popped up at 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 that is right in the army and know who you are from where they are for bidding the displace living in the south from heading north and what it was you both in general at the delivery, the ocean myself. at the rough across thing on the egypt garza border, a drugs 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 rough, 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 true. so let's go look at the trend. is really all mcvee codes have

been filmed heading away from the territory. but israel's mailed tree has warned that its troops going nowhere. and that the war against come us is not over or random wrong is a military analyst at king's college in london. and she told us what the pause and finding means for the israel defense force is operation against a mazda and also to well, politically. it's a very important sign for nothing. yahoo and for his government. however, in terms of operations, well i have heard the guitar a side explaining that the insured that everything should be going according to the plan. however, cease fire is usually very shaky and there is a chance that it might break down not because somebody will entirely wants to break it down, but because of human error. so it's a very shaky process. at the same time, the idea has to stay alert. it doesn't mean that the idea cannot relax or for these

because there will be people loving to move, susan, worse or from the south on the one. and on the other hand, from us might be taking this opportunity to regroup, recover, perhaps rotate personnel. it's very flexible. now, it has all the surveillance on the idea of operation. and so they can better estimate on how to proceed with their operation. because of course, they don't want to be destroyed by the idea of so they, they have to exploit their advantages and the gaza strip. so for the idea, if it's a very important moment, especially when it comes to the end of the seas fire and how the operation will proceed after that, that is a big question or drawing now by middle east expert tanya gala. he's a journalist, an editor in chief of the magazine. so need here in berlin. there now and tell me how much of a political accomplishment is this deal?

it's a huge political accomplishment because the parties involved can show and can also showcase evidently that negotiations work. if it's a major breakthrough, i mean, i'm not saying that everything is going to be implemented implemented according to plan. i'm not sure if maybe the sci fi is going to be broken on interrupted, but the fact that in the middle of a war, while you have one party doomed, which is homeless and the other side, israel declared and that it wants to annihilate from us. and still, we see that it's possible to negotiate deals between them. it's a risky strategy. and it took a lot of, i think nightmarish headache on the side of the negotiators. namely the categories the, the us and the dimensions. but it's interesting that it works and we see that we shouldn't take to all the information's face value. we have this massive system destruction in the gaza strip. but at the same time we have talks ongoing. we have negotiations. we have a certain readiness even between the worst enemies to, to,

to come to a deal. that doesn't mean that the war is over. it doesn't mean that the military campaign is over, and it doesn't mean that all the hostages are going to be reduced. but there is a model how instrumental was guitar, and this would we be here without guitar today. it's usually instrumental um the categories were the ones with the, according to the information diag, it's designed to process. and you can see the star signature and much of what happened. first of all, they really did like playbook media mediation, and it took me some time to understand, followed it from the very beginning actually how they created expectations and both sides. how they shaped a narrative, saying look, how moss did something terrible. but they didn't intend to do to harm for such magnitude to these realities. they actually wanted to kidnap is really military and then uh, negotiate the release of them in exchange for, for how most prisoners and is really present. i'm not saying that this is the true story, but it's a, it's a narrative to shape, to, to create expectations and both sides. then they announced many times and, and,

and, and involved the can to kind of open those. we're close to with you. we have that number of hostages that can be really used. we have the united states on board. we have these reason board. then they said, okay, these really so i'm not yet in. we have to convinced it on the aisle, but they were at the same time, very strategic and also strategically communicate, communicating, or even sometimes transparent about their frustrations and the efforts. and it was quite interesting. they didn't want to sidelines egyptians at the same time, which is very important, of course they needed to have the united knew united states on board. it's a very interesting story and i think of course, it can't be with now. but as we'll be in the near future. now this is a true set of set to last for days. for now, what happens on day 5 or whatever the day after maybe before the is or the government? it is clear and i think they have the support of a major part of the population that a military campaign of some sort has to continue because they, they say they want to destroy how much they want to. and i'm also involved with the

gaza strip and the want to make sure that how much will never strike again. it is at the same time to have that before they said that before. and we have seen is really by ministers in war saying we will not leave unless we have killed every single one of them. but at the same time then they were ready for some sort of a political compromise. what is, what is clear for israel that a return to home us will over the gaza strip, isn't an option. maybe some sort of an hour up initiative could to, could materialize, could crystallize even though everyone is very like in the said, oh well i, well this is because the framework is, isn't clear and because they want to make sure that they don't have to pick up the pieces behind the destruction that these realize costs and the processor but, but in general, i think some sort of an hour of engagement is possible and would also be the only reasonable way wages to, to put it into this war. now need some sort of a face saving solution at the same time he needs so he needs a victory. and of course, the release of hostages is a major victory for him. after all, the failure and, and the dread that is really some palestinians have suffered in the last couple of

weeks talking about the suffering in the gaza strip. specifically, there have been calls all around the globe for a ceasefire, a permanent ceasefire. how do you think the international community and especially of countries like the united states and guitar, are going to use the, the weight that they have in this to maybe change is really mines or, or no sir, it's some sort of fractional us. kentoria. lions is not in the lab political alliance, it's not that they don't degree on all the aspects of the countries. like i think the us very clear that the door call for sees for, for, for 10 minutes each these 5 because they think the israel should have the right to continue the military campaign. at the same time, they see the devastation destruction that this campaign has caused, which when beyond what can be considered an anti terror operation, the apartment says that they are not going to support it any longer. no plan for the posting to but the truth and quite some time to come to that that statement.

and on the other hand, you have the category as well, of course pro palestinian and who said from the very beginning that this operation is unjustified. so there is no, there's no agreement. we don't have an agreement even inside europe about to cease by the german government was very ambivalent, big use about it. so i think is a ceasefire. is something that needs to come into operation with a success and the hostages. though you should also look at them at the case of an isolated fashion because it's not the only dusty that is happening here. but at the same time, i think the hostages can, can, can create trust between the negotiating parties of which, how mazda is not directly taught. and that is, of course, a major challenge for diplomacy. but hey, these are the moments voted for real crisis diplomacy for re professionals who i think can solve the situation because you have reason all people on the is really side will see that the military campaign with these consequences is to say the least not sustainable to the security entrance you say there is no, i'm going to use these fire until they're a success. what, what success look like?

that depends very much on going. of course, the homeless behavior mazda is opperation and on the margin that you give them a, you know, i'm drafting scenarios sometimes, and that one would know, don't want to say that all parties would agree to that. but let's just like imagine that a group of our states would agree that they can provide some sort of a secure gym, police force incorporation with power standing with the palestinian people supported by the united states, the european union, and eventually israel. i think it's such a scenario, it would be very, very difficult to swallow for homeless, but i don't think they have major options. and let's not forget that there is countries in the region that have leverage over them. and katasha is a small one, but a very important one. so tanya, again, a great speaking to you. thank you so much. thank you. the german president assigned by this time i has met german palestinians who were evacuated from gaza at a reception in berlin. they had the chance to share their stories, among them, a doctor who worked at the street, the hospital to spend the focus of israel's military operation and recent days,

more than 200 german nationals have less cons. i through the russell border crossing to egypt. jam and president frank volta stein maya, welcoming a group of people who have escaped, how german palestinians call talk to the war in gaza. no say they got the chance to share their stories with jim and he's head of state speak. you heard a lot from us. everyone told this story is what the experienced and gaza and how they escaped in the 1st place. it was a good conversation as often as the lulu story is one of good fortune. he moved to gaza with his gem and wife and had 5 children. they survived and on. so we decided from the beginning. we lived together and we die together. that's why we always select on the mattress on the floor in the middle of the apartment where we

thought it would be safe. but there really isn't any place that a 2nd to fitness come on position. in contrast, mohammed to the story is one of loss. he was visiting family when the war broke out . i lost a brother. i lost my cousin with the 4 children. how old so lost an uncle with 3 children. and how would they killed the biggest variety raise and most, i'm guessing the, the houses were simply palm without warning bond, and they was simply killed and i thought it was as long as the story of don't i do not as is one of relief under correct head of vascular medicine at the controversial, i'll chief a hospital. he knows where he's needed most initialize the need to continue. he wrote, the kidney doesn't work anymore. you got the kidney from his wife. the kidney doesn't

work anymore. well, you missed the doctor. i need to see you, i need you, i need you. i have the message on my cell phone. i need you. i can't help him. and then you know, when i arrived in portland, i had to write an address. while i was writing down my address, i realize that obviously the address no longer existed. actually i no longer have an address. the whole region is gone. vic, yeah. outside families brought together by hara say their good byes. some faced with retarding to normal life. others with starting from scratch. so you're watching digital, you're news. here's a reminder of our top story at this hour is really military says the hostages released by how most are now in israel. the red cross has confirmed that 24 hostages have been released from the casa strip. the release as part of a deals brokerage by contort, which includes afford
