in the world, all too often silence in the face of tragedy. convo empire of silence starts february 15th on dw, the . this is dw deers, live from berlin. a warning from the un secretary general to the us president over trump's plan to take over god's easy samsung to avoid any form of move it to be clean seats. today the white house is trying to walk back trumps proposal, but israel says it's already preparing for palestinians to leave golf. also coming up as rebels advanced despite a ceasefire and the democratic republic of congo active is or accusing the european union of fueling the volume. the

i bring golf is good to have you with us it just a day after us. president trump suggested that the us and should take over the gaza strip. israel says it is already preparing for large numbers of palestinians to leave the territory today. members of the trump administration have tried to walk back some of the presidents of shocking proposal proposal that is drawing condemnation from around the world with the head of the united nations warning against ethnic cleansing. us president donald trump's proposal to clear goals. the rivets civilians is strongly rejected by goals and themselves. so we want to make it clear, it's a trump on to globally does all of the palestinian people are rooted in that alone . we have is the same as the roots of all the trees that we will never give power, london golf, the normal we a bundle. now along in the west bank, what do you mean or of dine here is better. it is better than going anywhere else.

no, because you have nothing after losing your land in the country and home. a lot of clifton trump proposed that the united states takeover garza and resettle the eva, 2000000 palestinians living the 2, spoke to media international condemnation. in the search for solutions. we must not make the problem worse, is vital to stay through to the bed, the bulk of international law. it is essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing, of the proposal to resettle goals. and this was also spend by neighboring countries, jordan and egypt, which trump had previously suggested should welcome them in. but the i did did find favor with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. almost your actual idea of allowing for guidance

a want to leave the leave or what's wrong with that. they can leave that can then come back, they can relocate and come back. but you have to rebuild god if you want to rebuild, because you can't have it. this is the 1st good idea that i've heard. it's a remarkable idea. as the diplomatic for rory continues, the white house appears to be contradicting trump's intentions to resettle godson's permanently. and if the president has made it clear that they need to be temporarily relocated out of gather for the rebuilding of this effort. again, it's a demolition site right now. it's not a livable place for any human being. this distance is adding to the confusion of it from some tensions cus involvement in the middle east as well. how many additional honda is with the european council on foreign relations? i asked him whether it's likely that people will leave gauze of voluntarily. the idea is, is practically impossible to implement in the 1st place,

and you don't have any host countries willing to take this team and refugees and approve them from their homeland at the same time, philistines and gods have consistently showed and expressed their refusal to this idea that is not the birth child of this moment. it's being proposed. we're going to stadiums repeatedly as early as the year 1951. in in 53. there was a proposal to reset of 12000 guidance in the sign. i did start godson's, revolted against egypt, general probation, and gods at the time, and managed with what that ideas it was proposed again and 67 in the seventy's eighty's ninety's early 2 thousands. you had an is reading national security council here that was called your i'm and the propose it in 2004 and he's to quote god as a concentration camp when you to amex and major chunk of design. i did our and relocate philistines. there it didn't work either in 2019 seniors. vito officials said that they weren't actively looking for host countries to take gods and refuse in microns,

and they were willing to even pay for the transport. explain it expensive, it didn't work either. so the ideas on implemented there is no willingness on the populations in side. there is also no hosting countries in the world that is increasingly hostile towards microns and difficulties that was wrong. the child of the are speaking but this earlier. my next guest is gear shown baskin. he's a writer and piece negotiator. he arranged the release of it is really soldier held by him last back in 2011. it's good to have you on the program. you know much of the world apparently was caught off guard by this proposal from donald trump. but today we're hearing that the israeli government has already begun preparing for palestinians to leave the gaza strip. what do you make of their well, there may be palestinians who would want to leave the ghosts too, cuz like there is really tell us it's impossible to live there as president trump said, it's really it's a delusion site, but it was demolished by israel. the problem is not the palestinians who might want

to leave garza, i mean these are all this never really let them leave. but there is no host country as well. how much or how does sense willing to accept them, not egypt through drug. and even though president trump said they will accept them, this is not going to happen these remarks by trump a, i'm just press conference with prime minister in that you know, created an enormous amount of uncertainty in the regions. but one thing we can be certain about this proposal appears is not implementable. it won't happen. what it is doing is creating a lot of agitation or what appear a lot of anxiety. a lot of damage is being done, 1st and foremost, to the continuation of the ceasefire between israel and loss, and god in the age of these ready hostages that we don't know will remain there mister, best. somebody asked me, why don't you say this proposal will not happen? why? because there is no host country that's willing to accept 2200000 palestinians from casa. none of the world is willing to accept them. they see this is the cleansing,

they see, it is trying to destroy the palestinian rights to self determination in the state of their own. there are no other countries of trump his own back. now it was about suggesting that other countries except published any refugees from gods, or what us in the opening, the doors in the united states to them the thousands live along the beautiful coast of the mediterranean. why not live on the coast of the new gulf of america in florida? new trump wants this to happen, then he has to take responsibility for i think it's great if the united states wants to come in and help the reconstruction efforts in gaza that all the world needs to help with that, including the stadium is 0 because 2000000 people are living homeless today and gaza and that's an untenable situation. let me pick up on the ceasefire and the degree she isn't with that. what do you think this proposal is going to mean for holding the ceasefire together? and i'm also thinking about the is really hostages that are still in come off hands the key to the ceasefire negotiations for phase 2,

we're in the middle of the phase one right now, phase 2 negotiations of the government. the key here is determining who's going to govern garza on the day after the war because phase 2 includes the under. the warrant is really withdrawal from gaza. somebody get a prime minister, nothing you're refusing to do as long as the last is in power. now there's a focus of what the president and nothing else should have done with, together with the, our neighbors who all are concerned about, some ice continuing to control gaza. but instead they come up with this wild idea of the people. it goes out. we really need to talk about how we're going to find incredible legitimate, responsible government for gods on the day after this war. because the time us continues to be the are, there won't be a ceasefire, and there won't be any reconstruction. as we heard from some commentators yesterday that president trump's plan sounds like a, a typical real estate magnets plan for any piece of land that right now looks like a demolition side. if we look at the broader picture, the,

can this plan tell us anything about donald trump's middle east policy moving forward? the only thing we can say is that he's not very well thought out. there's been no calculations done. there's no macro planning done. this was an idea that was thrown out a number of years ago by trump sunny law, jared cushion, or what was an adviser in the white house. and you spoke about the real estate, the possibilities for the guy, the stripped thinking in the, in wearing a hat of a real estate model of looking at the possibilities of building a need to buy, rob mcafee there, or don't house, and a small piece of land with the wonderful coast unlimited to renew insures and certainly if there was a billions and billions of dollars to invest there you guys, it could be an ideal place, but we have to take care with the realities about the depth and the destruction that's taking place over the last year and it helps from a more that was started by how much, let's not forget that. but many of the people living in dogs are completely innocent in tens of thousands have been killed over 800000 wounded and 202000000

people homeless today. they're showing bask, and as always as best, and we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. a rebels in the democratic republic of congo have seized another town in the east, despite declaring a ceasefire. the un says m 23 fighters are now only 50 kilometers north of because that's the capital of south cube to providence insurgents back fiber wanda, and been advancing since capturing the city of goma last week. the red cross has been burying victims of the fighting. the un says nearly 3000 had been killed in hundreds of thousands for the fleet and the european union is under mounting pressure to suspend the controversial minerals deal with for wanda. the agreement is aimed at securing raw materials to make micro chips and electric car batteries. here in europe, but activists say it's indirectly fueling. the conflict in the democratic republic
