the, the, we will not say the way started february 14th on dw, the, this is dw news live from balance. israel security cabinet degrees regardless ceasefire deal. the full cabinet is now me thing to consider the times of the 6 weeks. pause in fighting prime minister benjamin netanyahu says some hostages being held by homeless could be freed as early as some day. we'll say coming up on the program, russia and they're on find a new strategic partnership. tracy, the 2 nations hope close the ties will help them to get around what some functions . plus why greenland is keeping a novice eye on developments in washington with donald trump one thing to take over the island. some say it is not for sale, while others sense an opportunity. the

menu is mckinna and welcome to the program. is ralph security cabinet has agreed to the 6 week c. 5 deal in gauze of the full cabinet is now meeting to vote on the deals. tons, prime minister benjamin netanyahu says final details have been on and out until to previously claiming the thomas, how to back tracked on parts of the agreement. the fall, right? national security minister, it's an i'll bend of there has threatened to resign. if the c spot is approved, and you mean this new, yahoo says some hostages, still held by homeless could be freed as early as sunday. to use telephone line is director of the middle east and north africa program at the international crisis group. any joins us now from brussels. welcome to dw,

thank you for your time. can i ask you if you will, confident that this deal will be approved by these ready government? well, some certainly looks like it will be at this point it's, it's going to go through and then everything will really depend on the implementation. all right, and that's in yahoo has uh excuse me. repeatedly said that he wants what he calls, total victory over hum us considering that hamas is still in goal. is that why has nothing yahoo agreed to this deal? well, the deal doesn't preemptive possibility of what he says he was, even though i could argue that if israel wanted the total defeat of how mass it has and succeeded in accomplishing that in 60 months. so why would it do so in the future after maybe the ceasefire lapses or is broken or ends in any way?

so um, but for sure, the fact that there's a cease fire doesn't make it impossible for israel to continue to fight at some later stage. donald trump and his team have been instrumental and pushing this deal through assessing this deadline of monday. his ignore integration. do you think he will be able to keep the pressure up on the is riley's in the coming weeks because obviously there was 3 stages to this deal. do you think he will keep that pressure up as the steel progresses? and it does. i certainly don't know if easy will and, and the question to me is where he's come up with where he wants to. i think the united states has offensive leverage it could use with israel divide. this was true for the body construction at the bottom. administration decided not to use that leverage and especially through onstar, stress 1st israel, which could have been

a glint bucks really into some kind of, you know, really do. so does he have to, well, to proceed is through, i think in the beginning he has an interest. he doesn't want a good deal to collapse early on in his presidency, but down the road. and especially if you see via nations that i'm seeing, it could be come from these ratings, i think would be from the outside from both be from both sides. whether he has to stay power, you know, you know, from truck that he's unpredictable, that he's single energy moves quickly from one thing to the next. so it's very hard to say, looking forward. and as we've says there are 3 stages to this deal. and a lot could happen, but there are still so many questions regarding the future of gauze who will lead it, who will rebuild it, to name just a few. if the 1st phases of the steel do hold, what do you see happening and gaza as well?

if, if things go well and the 1st face is completed, satisfactory, and the negotiations to hope to the 2nd phase of succeeded then. uh, what we will see is, uh uh, a very significant withdrawal is where the troops from goes up. that won't end a minute turn over to patients, because then we can go back to a situation as it existed between 20072023 of to 2023. but probably with increased military oversight from israel, including in a buffer zone inside because of strips of which didn't exist before. but in any case, a fairly significant withdrawal from, from the host of the gaza strip, which means the freedom of movement for, for guidance, for better still needs to return to what used to be at our house. and to start the

process of rebuilding a. but i don't want to go to that far. it has because i think there are many obstacles in the way that many things that are unclear, but clearly to top priorities to get the process started. and to get to $600.00 trucks per day, a few minutes are in a, into gaza and also to restart a commercial relations with guys so that people can actually get the agency to get to get the goods that they need. but i'll be to maternity or commercial goods. yeah . and obviously that humanitarian aid is the priority. now given the risk a situation in gaza, but if i could ask you to look slightly further into the future, given all of the elements that you've described, do you see a few cho was reconciliation in the middle east? is at least a possibility. yes i you know, i'd love to be an optimist. that's reconciliation is

a big word of what we need is some kind of a statement or what about, what do we need is, is to go back to the, to the notion of a 2 state solution. phase one, a better start to end a conflict in a durable way. it's very hard to see that not because because i put because this is wendy governments additions in the bank list back. they want to an exit, and it seems like the trump administrative should go back to them. and this is very hard to see any kinds of overall piece without the emergence of a 5 or better city and state franky. and so i'm not particularly hopeful, though. you know, there's talk of a, so the really normalize relations with israel in exchange for progress on this particular objective of coming to independent best in each day. i don't i, i don't, frankly, i, i'm, well, i would love to see it. i'm not very optimistic. it was till 10 on with the

international crisis for thank you so much feel for your time and for your analysis . now as we've been reporting a yes vote from the missing of the full is ready cabinet would mean a sci fi would come into effect on sunday and the agreement would be implemented then in 3 stages. phase one would see is really true. his withdrawal from densely populated areas of garza, how moss would release the c 3 hostages. while israel would free hundreds of palestinian prisoners of destruction everywhere. more than 2 thirds of gauze as buildings damaged or destroyed from government offices to houses and beyond. news of the cease fire brought relief in gaza and cautious hope for the 1st phase of the truce. done, i was my life and you know because everything behind was destroyed and our future

distributor, we like to bring time to do that. we've had been a new furniture from scratch, an estimated 90 percent of guidance have been displaced during the war. they'll finally be able to start coming home from the tent cities and open air caps that have house them. but they face significant challenges. many apartment blocks have been flattened by is rarely bombs. safe drinking water is in short supply, and most of the infrastructure is in ruins. yeah, this 75 percent of causes, buildings fully are partially destroyed. you have no economy, no infrastructure, no education, no healthcare. and so you're going to have a vessel it territory with desperate populations that are hanging on by a thread. yes, the absence of war is positive. but with how mass being solely in control is going to be a disaster for the future of the gaza strip and indeed the house,

any national project. the as rarely, military will leave most of gaza for us, so called buffer zone, about one kilometer wide along the border with israel, a leach draft of the deal. so the idea would withdraw from the strip of land called the net serene corridor that separates north and south gauze. but it's not clear if that will be part of the final agreement. and it will keep control of the philadelphia card or as zone along the border with egypt to deter, i'm smuggling, the humanitarian aid will again flow into the besieged territory, where international agencies have worn famine and may have taken hold. $600.00 and food trucks are scheduled to deliver 8 every day once the ceasefire takes effect. however, loading of aid as emerged as a major problem. and over the course of the war is real, has imposed inspections on trucks that have slow deliveries. the 1st steps are supposed to take place in the days and weeks to come. reconstruction will take years or decades and the territory is political. future is still unclear.

iran and russia have sailed. a new strategic partnership president smell suited possess can and let them in food and sign the agreement in moscow. the kremlin says the tracy covers military and trade corporation as well as science, education, and culture. both sides, i'll hoping closer relations will help them get around west and sanctions, but with a wrong supplying weapons used by russia in the war and ukraine. the new defense pact is being viewed with suspicion by nature. this both in southern ukraine has just been hit by a russian drug, a drone that's an old likelihood, was made by a run. and in this case, kills at least one person the use of drones and the ukraine conflict as not just tell me royce people on both sides. it's also transformed rushes relationship with

a room and influenced the shape of what's being called an historic new deal governing toys between the 2 countries. around allegedly supplies, most of the drones, russian deployed and ukraine. and according to the us, has also delivered short range ballistic missiles. this new role as most of those main military supplier has enabled to ramp to gain leverage after decades of being viewed as a junior partner in the relationship. and it's not just defense ties that are being put on a new foot takes after that 1st meeting in october 2020 full. the 2 president said they had many similar views on well, the fast i'm looking to expand the cooperation in all areas, economically, culturally. and in the international arena. they said deepening ties was a way of countering the punishing sanctions that the us and its allies have imposed on both countries. and that pushing for completion of this alternative route for

global trade known as the north of south transport corridor and already using the making. it would open a pathway to india and the gulf while bypassing the ceilings of the west to many say russia and iran, i'm not of us allies despite to co operating for use in syria to pop up the now defunct a side regime in the past, the relationship has been called a marriage of convenience with many ups and downs. but now there's a prospect of a new chapter. and despite their insistence, then not targeting anyone country and that the new tax will be only constructed, it still appears to have the potential to make some in the west on easy green and is keeping a close watch on developments in washington dc because incoming president donald trump has said he wants to take control of the island to bolster us national

security. but although self governing greenland is part of denmark, the w correspondent jack power reports now from the capital nook on how greenland is viewed from designs on the homeland majestic natural beauty. approaches the code frequently changing whether the world's attention has landed here in greenland. off the donald trump repeated his idea that the us, what could buy you the country, even send to some hit for a photo opportunity with locals. but the foreign policy goals of the new us administration can feel distance to the people we spoke to here in new. it's not a conference of people in the united states. lots of people are either. so i'm not interested to people, i'm not a house or a purchase. you concur, i don't know. i'm not sure. i almost don't care. i don't really like these

ideas like being proud off a like essentially be part of the united states america. so. but like, what i do like is like i like to work with them. i see in greenland on melting and exploration. so lithium uranium and other critical materials is ramping out from says buying greenland is strategic. the us national security against the stride in china and the meadow, some russia, both countries are also exploring for resources in the high all take. right, and i'm fishing makes up over 90 percent of greenland exports. but green ones biggest employ a currently is the government, 43 percent of the population worked for it and doesn't autonomous territory of the kingdom of denmark. greenland effectively receives just under $1000000000.00 yours per year from the danish government. so trying to say is that when you speak to people here in greenland, i buy it from this idea to buy the country the conversation inevitably and frankly

swiftly, moves on to being about whether greenland should be independent from denmark. that's a decades long back to here. it's estimated around 2 thirds of greenland as would vote to be fully independent from denmark. like m. p to know frank, who's campaigning for an independence referendum by 2030 deed. infuse yes. typically welcome a visit by the returning president in the white tice. i really hope he will come here and that he will speak directly to our government and not the government in denmark. we are tired of having a middleman and everything. we want our own sovereignty. we want our right to have our saying in foreign politics ourselves. denmark has refused to entertain the idea of the us taking over agreement. and people are asking themselves here whether trump's interest will fade away. as of the global issues, land on the desk of his presidency, a correspond to just park file that reports and he joins us now from nuke in

greenland jacket. looks very beautiful way. uh, and very cold as well. so thank you for joining us. i know you've been in greenland for a few days and you've spoken to lots of people the we heard from some of them in your report. tell us more about how the react saying to all of this attention that a trump is generated. so it's a really interesting time to be here and to speak to the people on you. frankly, it feels so distant from global politics regarding how important greenland has suddenly become because of what donald trump has been saying is idea to buy the country. a lot of people i speak to speak about their own individual issues. so the personal men are concerned, for instance, about being positive denmark and that for exporting into that market, in severe opinions, i'm what it would mean if they were to be taken over by the united states for that 1st thing. what did they have to deal with different quarters and would they have

different competitors, etc. when it comes to the minerals issue, a lot of people sort of seem, uh, there's some people that think that green line should use those resources for itself, rather than allowing the big players in to come to mind for those resources. but the big players are the ones that have the capacities to do that. a bit of a sort of context of what it's like here. it's a closed circuit city, new the capital. as all of the different times i'm village is the main me up the size of west coast of green lands and pretty much the large percentage of this country is an ice sheet in the center. and you can't really access it. but in these times, it's usually this sort of roads mitigating by the head of the cards that are going down that, that are on the clothes. uh, can you come and take a move to way up to the next time along the the pool is just that behind me the apple i can, i can see just over in the distance over that it's closed. people are living men.

oh, going fall despite the international presence head, due to fishing, due to mineral was due to the international investments here. there's a lot of people from different countries as well. so it's, it's sort of strange minutes of highly international, extremely low, cool. and the people have green under finding that slightly uh, jarring, i think at the moment, let's talk about denmark, because you mentioned the annual reports that the people that, oh, quite keen on independence from denmark. how likely is that to ever happen? what will happen anytime soon? i so there's a strong push from a number of the political parties to get independence from denmark. there's a, there's, it's just under benny and yours comes from denmark to greenland in drugs and subsidies, a range of different different ones. i'm on the green under the same though, is that because that for us to do a lot of that spreading through that mog, the flight that fly in and i took the capital go to copenhagen,

that's how you get in and out of this country that actually if they were independent, they would be able to generate that wealth themselves. there's a big debate amongst the people who were about exactly what that would be. a there's a push for an independence referendum in 2030 the day and say the greenland does have a right to have the decision of their own future, but it will be difficult for them because probably having this country is part of that kingdom gives them not a lot of power because of his interest to international players to the united states, to china and russia. and because of his access into the high, alt take could independence potentially open the door to other international plants like russia or china, you know, trying to gain a foothold and to greenland. yeah, but i mean, that is really the big question as well. don't know, tons talking about buying it and being very public about that. but there are lots of countries, the chinese and the russians who are looking for the minerals that exist at lithium uranium. potentially, it could be extremely,

extremely abundant. we don't know because the exploration needs to happen. some people are saying that it shouldn't happen and told, and that the resources should stay in the grind is green on what to be independent of the country of $55000.00 people obviously doesn't have that much political power . it would potentially get a seat at the un uh it would potentially itself during the european union. it chose do a lot of those details are relatively unclear, but an independent that agreement could potentially be influenced by those other players. and that is why i think you see donald trump, the incoming us president, being so clear and he's talking about buying it. but what a lot of the politicians have said to me while i be speaking to them here. they say, look at the underlying, say what he's saying here is greenland is really important. so the agreement is that happy. the green on is important to the united states. i mean, he says that it's all about national security and defense doesn't. a trump of

speaking about force, but there is already a us space in the far north of greenland isn't the yeah. and so that there's a base he writes up in and also the island is being as soon as the 1950s, at the height of the cold war that were run 55 years in troops up the us military troops. at the moment, my understanding is about a 100 people and the facilities on necessarily up to date is may need to do with science and to be checking the radars to see what's going on in the high all takes what the chinese are doing and what the russians are doing so there is a tons of the united states may choose under donald trump made to choose to invest heavily in that base w, his job power reporting from nook in greenland joint. hi jack. thank you so much and you stay with them. is look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. and the us supreme court has upheld a little bonding, take talk from a pricing in america. unless the platform is sold bytes, chinese parent company,
