a dream vacation to the human, they is change their minds. the we will not say the way starts february full teams on d w. the . this is dw news line from berlin. going home is real allowance displays, palestinians to return to north and goes up hundreds of thousands beyond the long walk home from us as a release for hostages. by the end of the week, mattel's is real and that each of those do to be freed, are already dead, and also coming up holocaust survivors to not to repeat the mistakes of history, the mark, the anniversary of the information of auschwitz, members killed by nazi germany

the i'm aaron tilden in berlin. thanks for joining us. hundreds of thousands of palestinians are returning to their homes in northern garza for the 1st time in more than a year. the return is in accordance with the ceasefire between israel moss, which is holding into a 2nd week under the agreement of loss is set to soon release more hostages. but the milton group has told israel that 8 of the $33.00 people do to be freed. are already that many of the displace palestinians returning to northern garza are making the journey on foot displaced palestinians on their way back home to northern gazda. they are returning for the 1st time since the start of the war as part of the ceasefire deal between israel and thomas.

we want to go see our family. we want to see my mother and father. we haven't seen them for 15 months. it's been a long time since we're waiting to see them and now we're going. it's a great feeling when you go back on back to your family, relatives and loved ones and inspect your house. if it's still that many had been waiting for days to cross over from central and southern guys. a delayed after dispute interrupted. israel denied gavin's passage, accusing him. ask militants reaching the terms of the truce over the weekend. how mass released for is really sold yours in exchange for 200 palestinian prisoners and detainees. that israel says that our bel, yeah, who was supposed to have been freed. she's the last female civilian hostage that israel believes is still alive. the impasse was resolved when have mass agreed to

release your food and other is really captive. later this week. with back, dozens were given passage back to the north. hundreds of thousands were forced to flee when his really troops moved in with the aim of destroying a mass for carrying out the october 7 terror attacks. much of northern gazda has been leveled in the war. many don't know what they will find upon arrival. still monday, march the 1st step on the long road to rebuilding their lives. let's talk more about these developments with the aaron david miller. he is former us state department negotiator for the middle east, and he joins me now from washington d. c. so aaron, thousands of palestinians are returning to northern garza and some of these rarely hostages are heading home. so the question is, are we closer to any lasting end of hostilities we're asking and aaron is going to

be tough to produce. i think look at this is not an agreement between the united states in germany. it's an agreement between 2 combatants, both of them see one another is mutual destruction. there's no confidence, there's no trust in their politics that are play on both sides, particularly on these rarely side. so my, my prediction and i hate making them is that we'll probably get through phase one. but it's very, very difficult to imagine moving into phase 2, which could compel on us to re all the remaining hostages in the war. and can probably as rarely as to withdraw from guys. i don't see that happening more delay perhaps, but uh no, no, no in state. well that's actually the point i wanted to drill down on. you recently described the challenges facing us in phase 2 as being an issue of both sides, having irreconcilable visions for kansas future. what exactly did you mean by that?

i mean, if you look at the war aspirations or both sides, they're now mutually incompatible as these rallies. not only one how much destroyed as an organized military force. understandably, they also want to purge and preempt and prevent from us from playing any significant role in security. economics or indeed the governance of guys from us. on the other hand, it has one overriding objective now and that is to survive. and while they will not be able to run garza, nor will they be able to present a critical military threat toward it, to israel, they will likely remain an insurgency capable through intimidation, cooperation of influencing whenever palestinian effort a government um uh, ends up being tried in gaza, so in, in this sense i'm,

i really wonder whether or not we're talking here about a ceasefire that could into work to do that. you need to leadership in israel. and they with genuine palestinian governing authority in gaza. uh that would seek to create real stability, real security, good governance, and a measure of prosperity for the 2300000 civilians who have suffered greatly over the past 15 months. now you as president, donald trump has suggested that egypt and jordan should taken more palestinians to help in effect, clear out gaza. now course that suggestion is most likely a non starter, but can president trump actually play a productive role in the current situation as well? so far he deployed even before becoming present in his mid least unemployment least a go sheet or stephen with cough. who did play, i think uh,

an effective role in helping to buy the ministration and get, get this 3 phase deal over the over the finish line. i mean, governors are choosing and it's, it's not clear to me what the dog in terms of priorities. so i know he wants to avoid a war with iran and preventive run from crushing a new carrier threshold. i know he's interested in is really starting normalization process. but both of those issues potentially will bring him into conflict and contention with this is really government. so i think we're in for some intriguing but some very difficult times ahead of for u. s. policy in the region. right. that was there. and david miller, the former us, the department negotiator for the middle east. thank you very much for your analysis of things here. and for having the holocaust survivors haven't heard of the world not to repeat the mistakes of history as a mark the eighty's anniversary of deliberation of vouch. but it's survivors in western leaders gathered at the sight of the former nazi death camp in poland. to

honor those who died there and the millions of others murdered by nazi germany. as for those who were once held prisoner attachments, the pain of returning to this place of standing at the pool of death, where many executions were carried out must be almost overwhelming. but still they come every year. now a 2 years after deliberation, there's still a need to connect with the data and try once again to comprehend the inc comprehensible. shortly there after, we were loaded into catherine cars. the men and women were separated. at the central memorial event, survivors were joined by many heads of state. among them, britons, king charles, the french president, emanuel macro, jim and john,

so laugh schultz and even ukraine's president below the minister landscape. but the focus was on the testimony of those who lived through the hearts to i held on tightly to my mother's and in the dark, terrible car, full time. plumber's hours was the cries and the prayers of said, many desperate women permeated my soul and phone to me to this day. inevitably perhaps some of those attending turned the thoughts to the rise of anti semitism and send a phobia in many places to day or 2 of them. it grieves me deeply to see in many european countries, but also in poland, nazi style, uniforms and slogans. open the pro rated and matches a bit grease, me me and just see this happening. so without any consequences,

these on the phone as you still for keyah, everyone acknowledges the number of survivors is dwindling. so that fact lens, even more weight to the lessons they drew from history while left the world at that time. we were victims in a moral vacuum. but today, however, we all, we have an obligation not only to remember which is very, very important, but also to warn and to teach the hatred. oh, do you think it's more hatred? killing more killing warnings from the at the center of the whole. the cost pointing it is hoped to mod, piece the or political correspondent

julia. so delhi was at the memorial event in auschwitz bureau and now in poland, she sent us this update. it was a commemoration that sought to put the survivors at its centre, their precious testimonies of the atrocities i have to witness and endure. here in our shipments as young men and women, or as children. these are testimonies that are made even more precious by the passing of time. 80 years after the liberation of auschwitz, the number of survivors still living is steadily decreasing. this could be one of the last commemorations in which a significant number of them is present. this year around 50 survivors attended. it was $300.00 of them only 10 years ago. or there's concerned that is fewer survivors remain. it will be increasingly difficult to bring their testimonies and their message to the world, especially to younger generations. at a time when increasing anti semitism, hayes, speech and intolerance, and the resurgence of the far right as raising fears that the atrocities of the

holocaust could be forgotten or that they could happen again. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. 2 people have been killed by is really troops and 11 on the 2nd shooting incident in 2 days. those killed were taking part in a protest, as people displaced by the war between israel and has off are trying to return to their villages. a deadline for his really forces to withdraw from southern lebanon, which is due to expire on sunday, has been extended to mid february. investors around the world to have jump shares and technology companies at research and popularity of deep seek a chinese and i model deep seek sense it strap odd why those versions from the open a i and google for and for a fraction of the cost share some ship maker, new video, and broadcom were both sharply down. no rumbles in the democratic republic of congo. say they have captured the eastern city of goma. the m 23. 23.
