[000:00:00;00] the the this is the w news lie from berlin, caught our, holds its efforts to mediate in the guise of war. the gulf nation says it won't presume its role as mediator in because a conflict until both israel and thomas are serious about as far as going to fears for hostages. still being held by hamas in gaza. also coming up tens of thousands protests in the spanish city of valencia over the slow response to last months. devastating floods. they say the regional government must resign over the

disaster. government efforts continue almost 2 weeks on the, on public fully as welcome to the program. cuts are, is suspending it's mediation efforts between israel and the militant group hom, us, the gulf country has been a key player during months of protracted diplomacy and that ending because of war. but now it says negotiations have stalled, and it won't return to the table unless both sides show they are serious about reaching a deal. the decision has led to renewed fears in israel for the hostages still being held in guys more than 400 days off today. we could now, if it's to bring is riley hostages. home appear to have put

a major seat back of the protesters. intel of the match, the grim milestone as costs are pulled out of negotiations between israel and thomas. the withdrawal came of to months of the block. now some fear of future without them at the table. crossover drawing, the cost is a chaos because the lead the connection to the mazda dealership in car, and that's how most of the shifts and thousands of and now without that, we don't know who's going to be in charge of rights connection. it's been nearly a year since and one week true. so 105, it's raining hostages released and 214 palestinian prisoners fried since then the death toll from israel's war in garza, his prison to move in 43000. israel has killed several of whom us has taught

lead his attempts to in the bloodshed have seen numerous rounds of negotiations with the us and egypt joining cut us mediation tool. but without an agreement cutoff, patients has run out. it says that will only review mediation if it's when quote, the policies show willingness and seriousness to in the brutal war for its pods. how most, his goals for a full withdrawal of israeli forces from gaza and a complete into the war as conditions. but any deal while israel seeks the return of old hostages and insists on the presence in gaza, hopes for a ceasefire, relying on either side, making concessions, or another country stooping out to fill the contents role as mediation. or for more, let's speak that to hands yak options, or he is a middle east security analyst and director of the counter extremism project.

that's an independent global policy organization. great to have you on the show and good to see you again. who is to blame for the fact that despite months of negotiations, just been no agreement. there's still no seas far under steel. now hostage deal look, i mean, what ties you're doing is really pulling the block because nothing has moved to the last round in october. the problem promises, uh that was suggested by the us was rejected by how much. so how much is essentially not ready to have a deal. these re decide is not difficult, but the last projection was really how much and ask about the ministry spokesman said the political office of got top of a farm us in got, tom really does have no function if that is not a seriousness on the how my side for negotiations are still a little bit more about how much though, because who is actually, who within us, is even in

a position to the side on agreement considering that israel has actually killed so many of the groups leaders. and what i mean. yeah. is the back oh, so from an his rated perspective for, for me i need to national perspective how much as an organization has to be can it's for his weekend only, and it's physical tara infrastructure, and because lester, it's global network of finances, it's political leadership, the political office is still absolutely intact, so how much as a group can still make decisions can still negotiate? there is of course the question was how much control the political office was outside the gaza strip. has all the commanders inside the gaza strip. but that could have been even a small compromises that the political office, for example, could have agreed to the exchange all a handful of hostages as well suggested by the americans added the encryption is to

show that it has control. but it wasn't even willing to do this either because it really doesn't have any control anymore. then the question is, why are we talking to the political office? or because the organization still feels with this snow attrition tactics against israel. it could ultimately prevail. what speaks for option 2 is really how mazda is global call for more demonstration or demonstrations over this. we can. now, do you see a player other than kind of hard that could mediate more successfully? perhaps? i don't know if it's more successfully or not successfully, but it's very clear that muscle over the last couple of months seems to gravitate for whatever reason a little bit more what's tricky and away from cutoffs. so maybe that is also part of the country assessment that if they continue to be the main mediator, they will be held responsible for failures to reach an agreement. especially now

that the from up and restriction is coming in. and basically handing this, as we said in germany hot potato over to tech a. let's actually talk a little bit more about the trump administration, because of course we've got a few months left of the bite and ministration before trump comes in. and how do you see a trump administration dealing with the situation that we're currently seeing in the middle east is a huge changes there to a certain extent. i mean, it was a strategic mistake of thomas to run out the by didn't happen, just ration. it was very clear to by not ministration. wanted to end this conflict . ideally of course before the elections, but definitely before the end of that time in january. so you haven't got administration. maxima, motivated to the maximum extent to actually get is in agreement, are not using this window of opportunity for my wife's side was a real and mistake the by the not ministration. it is seemed to be conventional

wisdom will give israel more the way and what it does. but this may also prove not quite as glorious for, for the offline as it is really government and smart bridge. been clear what celebrated the problem administration selection. because drum has to make very clear, uh, president trump has made very clear that he wants this war to end. numerous times. seems that he wants an attorney out in this thing in gaza as a formulates it. so there may actually be more pressure by the time i've been just ration bond is really government going down the line to finish the military operations and guys, i live in. okay, we'll leave it here. have a hand jack open. so it was interesting speaking to you, thanks for joining us. so early on a sunday morning at mid least unless time zach option there take care. thank you so much. i the right time to take a quick look now with some other news making headlines around the world. donald trump has won the state of arizona and the u. s. presidential election after 4 days
