i'm so glad you started with abraham. world are reading on this shabbat tells the story of the death of sarah and the death of abraham, and i just -- as you were speaking, it makes me think of one important note in that story that happens right at the end of this portion, which is that abraham's two sons, isaac and ishmael, are estranged from each other. throughout the course of their life, they spend many, many years apart. but after the trauma that isaac experiences when his father almost sacrifices him on top of the hill, the first thing he does when he steps out of that trauma is he finds his way to his estranged brother. and the two of them reconcile with one another. and they spend years together, and they actually, they build a different kind of future together. and i find that to be a very heartening message for us. in this time in which it seems like we have these irreconcilable differences, we are cousins, we are family. what it takes is people who are willing to break script enough to find our way not into war

my uncle abraham is 78 ears yesterday. my uncle abraham is 78 years old _ yesterday.his _ yesterday. my uncle abraham is 78 years old and his wife - yesterday. my uncle abraham is 78 years old and his wife is - yesterday. my uncle abraham is 78 years old and his wife is 78 l 78 years old and his wife is 78 and they both live in a kibbutz three miles from the border. they lived there for 60 years. their daughter and her son live in the centre of the country but came to visit grandma and grandpa that weekend. they have another son who lived near, just a couple of blocks away but he was murdered on that morning, saturday morning. all of them were taken by hamas so it is actually four family members, three generations. including their only grandchild.- including their only urandchild. �* ., , ., including their only urandchild. �* ., ., including their only urandchild. ., ., ., grandchild. and for you and for so many families _ grandchild. and for you and for so many families this - grandchild. and for you and for so many families this is - grandchild. and for you and for

vicksburg, was abraham lincoln a war criminal was abraham lincoln at one of our greatest presidents incan history? israel needs to fight to survive her mosses said it was to destroy them hamas is backed by iran. the masses blocked by hezbollah hamas is backed by russia and china this tiny little jewish states with the 7 million jews up against it. do they have a right to fight to win? not if you listen to joe biden. humanitarian cease-fire? so you can provide food and medicine and fuel that the enemy hamas still there's evidence they are stealing from the hospitals are using their people as fodder the israelis are not doing it the enemies doing it with the american media are all in. was it really okay for the israelis to go after one commander will bleed the slaughter of their people with all the casualties that occurred you think that would've been after the civil war? here is my question. abraham lincoln mib the second greatest president of american history george washington the first. did we revere him? you bet we do, why? he defeated the south he kept the union together, and he end

now with abraham in jerusalem on saturday, there were protests, a, across israel to call for the hostages release. what are they asking of? the is really government. so the families of the hostages are at this point desperate were entering the 2nd month where they do not know what is the state or the situation of their loved ones. and these products have been going on virtually every day. but yes, yesterday was one of the bigger ones. i some of these protests i've had a chance to speak to hostage families. i spoke to one woman who was nephew was 19 years old, you know, has asthma and she hasn't heard from him for over a month. now, and so it's a really, i didn't either the hostetter term was, are going through and they feel that the government just isn't doing enough to bring the hostages back. they said they've told me things like any ceasefire. humanitarian pause has to be contingent with the release of their loved ones, some or even told me that the government should consider exchanging is really hostages for palestinian prisoners. the message from them though is whatever it takes to b

and abraham, both sides talking up the possibility now of extending the ceasefire. let me ask you, do you think the conditions, i'm not in place for this to actually happen? well, i, so, you know, i hope there is a c star. i really hope it happens, but it doesn't seem that it's going to happen like this. you mean, you mean an extension to disease? well, i'm talking about c far as old a full scale fired. but extensions to delaying of the inevitability, because of rhetoric coming out of the out of these very leadership suggests that they're going to continue with their, of, with their bombing incarnation. but i don't have a lot of hope that this is the extension will do very much. yeah, and that's an interesting point because is where it is promising to resume its military operations to resume its plumbing department as a said with full force ones deceased by a is are. but what impact then is that likes to have on any future hostage releases and also in the building of confidence between high mass on the one hand, is one of the, of the, of the mediators in the middle.

a abraham still with us, of course, from jerusalem. a, a on saturday there were protests, recross israel to call for the hostages release. what are they asking for the from the is really the government, or they're asking them to do whatever it takes to bring their loved ones back. michael, i mean we are entering now the 2nd month where they have no idea what is going on with their loved ones. i've been at some of these protests and i remember speaking to a woman who's nephew is 19 years old, has asthma and she has not heard from him and has no idea of what is going on with his health situations since he was taken by him. us on the october 7th, a terror attacks. so there's, you can imagine the psychological situation that the families are in, that they're saying to the government, whatever it takes. i've heard of people's telling me that any negotiation around a possible cease fire, or if possible, humanitarian pause has to be contingent with the hostages being released. i have also heard people say, our government should do more to try

send them cuz that would be thanks very much things to view that from tacky abraham. what is associate professor of conflict resolution at the bo ha institution you joins us now care and so hot. so let's get back to this attack onto bali. abraham is the 2nd strike that we've seen in less than 24 hours even off to the international condemnation. the outcry from all over the world over the 1st strike on such a densely populated area that killed more than 100 people with saying as well. strike again. well then, yes, you are right. that has been an international commission to the lady bombardment of jamalia. but there was one missing, which is the usaa administration's condemnation of that, that was missing from the whole thing because that wasn't. and that was also see it as a green light for, as i am, is to continue. it's more about a month or because of the same scale. so that's why we are seeing in less than a 24 hours a 2nd. messic up as being committed in japan. yeah. knowingly because jamalia, everyone knows isabel knows, and by the noise that it's the most densely

we've heard from our correspondent need to abraham. this is happening much later than expected in the hope that the crowds would be smaller these railings hoping people wouldn't stay up as late in the cold to welcome these people on the bus which is approaching need to abraham is standing by and can fill us in on what's going on, need to know. we've spoken to the family of an idea earlier in our shows. the mother has been saying that her son has got a we're detained in august, but in a previous arrest. how about the idea of the person you are looking at now has been injured? and the mom has been telling us about how difficult it was for her because of her son had of a, of the reasons you did not continue his treatments. and then he was in prison in the 1st thing she told me she wants to do with him, is to take him for medical checkups. now we see them reuniting talking to one another. and again, as you were saying that maybe there was a potential hopes by these ratings that there wouldn't be many people receiving those palestinian pris

continues to steal land and kill palestinians and you know isn't held to account and so with the abraham records the the us and and the british um attempted to sort of um leave the region because i know that the the their time in the region has truly come to an and particularly after the um general cassim was killed in 2020 general yes they knew that um their time in west asia is coming to and so they kind of wanted to leave behind a united coordinated front as um you know as something there that will serve their interests um through the abraham records, but again that failed with october the 7th, the cherry on the cake would have been saudi arabia signing and normalizing with the israeli occuping entity, but the access of resistance then you know that that plan um that plan also failed, and so you know today we see the british continue to be complicit the... refusing to vote for seasfire, as matter of fact, the the labor leader you know, let me let me get back to that later on, i want to get muhammed to respond to this too, as well, muhammad, a european colonial power, promising land to

they attempted to erase the palestinian cause from existence um and they um you know just before the abraham accords they also orchestrated the arab spring um whereby they tried to spread sectarian. and get you know shiis and sunnis to fight each other and be busy um with that whilst israel exactly whilst israel continues to steal land and kill palestinians and isn't held to account and so with the abraham records the the us and and the british um attempted to sort of um leave the region because i know that the the their time in the region has truly come to an end and particularly after the um general kasim sulaimani was killed in 2020 yes they knew that um their time in um west asia is coming to an end so... they kind of wanted to leave behind a united coordinated front as um you know as something there that will serve their interests um thread abraham records, but again that failed with october the 7th, the cherry on the cake would have been saudi arabia signing and normalizing with the israeli occupy entity, but the access of resistance then you know that that plan um that plan also faile

now on the way to collect, then we understand well in a moment will speak to nita abraham, who was in ramallah in the occupied westbank. but 1st, let's go to the style hope she joins us from occupied east jerusalem and have that clearly as always say, an awful lot of anticipation i had have disliked this release. right. me that as we've seen in the last 7 days, each different day has brought unique circumstances and processed these around the release on thursday 8 is really captives were released at 2 of them during the day initially released in gauze the city and the 6 additional captives released just after 11 pm local time. now while these rallies were anticipating 10 is really captives released per day for the extension of the ceasefire. the company's released the statement saying that the 2 russian duels is really citizens that were released on wednesday. we're actually part of this deal, so we did bring that total to 10 even though on thursday we only saw 8 released. now all those counted, these really military has confirmed our in is really territory on their way to the hudson

another important aspect here is that the states that signed the abraham accords, well known to everyone in no great hurry to help this very hamas, it seems like they already have them there is a lot that can suit you, and the leader in all of these is, of course, the united states , you will remember how morocco signed the same agreements for recognizing influence on western sahara, as sudan signed, well, you are no longer a terrorist state, sign everything abraham, yes, otherwise he has a billion dollars freshly printed there, today they tried to drag saudi arabia there too, so this conflict that suddenly arose, which is presented to us, just against the backdrop of these events, hamas remained essentially the last chance to stand up for the national liberation of your territory. namely, at least in good conditions, to put israel in a worse position than it is, this is what, this is not to allow this abraham accord to spread further, and this is, first of all, signing in saudi arabia, and what israel and the united states have long wanted , as he said, putting an end to this gas sector

resolution abraham . we were talking a little bit earlier about what might come next. everyone seems to be talking about a potential plan, the palestinian authority president. once more, the boss has said, and i'm, i'm increasing, he told blinking the p a will quote fully as 3 mile responsibilities within the framework of a comprehensive political solution that includes all of the west bank computing east through some of the goss. this trip, is that a realistic option? well, that's the minimum, but before that bus can ask for an accident and it's really it should of this should have been done in 1993. so with all of the 50 is late there. now who brought this the situation to this and it's the us administration being the only me the it that in this conflict that has been a comb with. they think that is different kinds of governments and life when governments and as well that they, that were missing. yeah. who devoted his time and commented himself in a leak and building let in. in 1996 to king the doorstep

so if you're thinking while the sacrifice to service of black men persuaded abraham lincoln who had hisdifficulties, he never had a difficulty with slavery, he had a difficulty with black people. he used the n word and came along in his relationship with frederick douglass. he could look back and say this moved abraham lincoln to embrace the right to vote for the black troops, however the very intelligent negroes were. so, if that's the case, did he have grounds to make this argument? how do you come -- you have the advantage of hindsight. but here it's 1918 and he makes the case. this is our country. we built this country and we fought for this country and we have fought for this country. america wouldn't be america without us. for that reason, it is our obligation to fight for america, not for the america that has been, not for the america that is but for the america that we want it to be. am i channeling him good enough? >> i think that he would say something like that. t >> can you make the case that there was something to his support of the war? >> i think you can for the reasons t

getting progress from the past initiative abraham accords. i think others thinking towards the united states very much wants to have joined. for example, the saudis have tremendous leverage at this point if they are really committed to the key aspects of a palestinian state. and certainly we have, they are a weak initiative that was started by, um, uh, by the former king of saudi arabia, king king abdullah, a saudi arabia at that point they have the basis for being able to say you want us and this, here are the things that need to happen with respect to the past and, and so there's a separate issue on, on for both cost and the and, and is really leadership of how to get them to the place on both sides where they're capable of actually getting to that horizon of a 2 state solution more, there's another problem percolating and that's the way the rest of the world looks at this. and it looks at us values as deployed and it sort of sees perhaps double standards, less listen to this, especially with a anthony blinking chase. and speaking of the un

second, in 1861 when abraham lincoln could have let this part of the country go and just kept it smallnorth he decided to go big and he fought the civil war to keep this country free and united and we made great sacrifices to do it. because we had a leader who was willing to do great things and for four years that sacrifice we wereic bigger, stronger, freer,a richer country than we were before. in 1941 when franklin roosevelt continued to have america respond to the voices of isolationism and keep america way from what was happening in europe, he decided a threat like anywhere was a threat to us as well. he united the country and we led the fight against fascism 75 years ago did we let big and we came out as the world's greatest power freer, stronger, braver and richer than we were before because we did did -- big things and we need to do that again. [applause] in 1961 when john kennedy said we were going to go to the moon in this decade and returned men back safely people said it couldn't be done. america gathered together with their greatest scientist in her greatest innovation and w

okay now from los angeles, i'm joined by abraham marques a freeelance journalist, good to have you withbraham, so uh, as a journalist, let us see how you looked at things and all those crimes happening in gaza, and of course as many people around the world have realized it wouldn't been possible without washington's unflinching and all out support for the regime in tel aviv'. thank you for for having me on and uh i agree um none of this would be possible without the full support of the us government uh not only just morally but even financially um and all the weapons that they are trappeling down to to occupy palestine um but also we wouldn't know what's happening now if it wasn't for the courageous and bravery work by the journalism ghaza all right and what about but tell us about also this uh news that i just uh announced uh regarding all that uh adverse propaganda surrounding the actually palestinian fighters like hamas and others on social media there was uh lots of uh you know false information around in terms of beheading and all that savage treatment but when you when you look at

i did use abraham reporting that from the west bank. okay, let's look at some of the news making headlines around the world by china says a surge in respiratory illnesses, especially among children, is known as being cool, was by an open virus. earlier this week, the world health organization, aust, china to provide information about the clusters of new cases. chinese authorities say the way wave of illnesses is due to the flu and of the known pathogens. when somebody has to do it at home to see how it is president says calm, has been restored after attacks with repelled in the comfortable free time. gunman tried to storm and honory. i'm the types of prison west. some inmates escaped, the president of the west african states said mostly to the attack, which he called an attempt to destabilize the state, had been arrested. you're watching the news from violin. don't forget those, even when use on our website at www. don't. com. that's it for me. and jeff part, thanks watching the show, the, these places in europe a smashing step into a b

i or that's bringing the, the abraham. she is live for us and they to and yet in the occupied westbank and neither the deal now is back on track. we expect $39.00 palestinian prisoners will be released and you have a now we have the list of names, $39.00 palestinians. the majority of them are teenage boys. and as of, as i'm counting now, we're looking at 6. how those to me in a female prisoners were expected to be amongst them. and let me point out that we just received this invitation from us. it is inviting palestinians for coming here near all for the prison where we are right now. um to basically celebrate those palestinian prisoners. this is something we have not seen yesterday. i have mass calls. yes. we've seen how mass members coming. yes, we've seen people coming to receive the palestinian prisoners. but i believe this. well i have more families now coming more palestinians coming here. 7 and as you can hear, this person has been a talking long live, how mass. so the mo, the has quickly changed here. we've been re

i. abraham gave me the assessment of defining an underground gauze, assessing as well. we know from a few days ago that there is now in northern garza and a southern cause a, a, the, a is really military. so as it has effectively divided the strip into a to have a cause, the city is in the northern part of the strip. that's where it is real says how much has a higher concentration of its notorious tunnel network. and that's why the ground operation is really focusing in the north at the moment. and what it means is that we're going to see more close combat more urban warfare between is really trips and how much militants in the coming a days. so far we had seen these kind of this kind of combat in rural areas, but now as is really forces to make their way into gaza city, we can expect to see more of those. and with this kind of combat urban warfare, we can also expect there to be more casualties. so far, since the ground operation started, the idea says 30 is really soldiers have died. and there is an expectation that these numbers are now inevitably going to go up. we

i abraham for more. so hospital officials have said that they run out of fuel and just to remind our viewers why, why fuel is so essential to gauze, that is because hospitals are now running on generators after the power grid is, has no longer is no longer operational. and now as a result, we know that one or, or according to the us books, uh, people a spokesperson of the how much controls garza health ministry. one baby in an incubator has died out of 45 a baby's at the hospital. and we know, or we've been told that $39.00 additional babies are now fighting for their lives at the hospital because of lack of oxygen. and this is a scenario michael, that doctors in gaza. hospitals have been warning against the since the beginning of the war. and seeing that as soon as they run out of fuel, they will no longer be able to operate and no longer be able to keep their patients a live a. we have also been told that there have been strikes around as she thought hospital . and that the, the vicinity of the hospita

all right, dw special correspondent abraham, thanks for that. and here are some more headlines linked to the crisis in the middle east. this is really media reporting the death toll from the how most attacks on the nova music festival on the 7th of october, has been revised sharply upwards to at least 350. previously, the number of those known to have been killed was said to be between 260 and 70 hundreds of people have left causes, i'll ship a hospital on foot after the clinics. director said the is really army ordered and evacuation of the facility is real, denies ordering and evacuation. it has yet to present proof of how much command and control center it says is underneath the hospital. israel has agreed to allow to fuel trucks per day to enter gas or under pressure from the united states and dire warnings from the united nations about this you mandatory and situation in the territory. the one says the fuel deliveries are less than 10 percent of what's required for basic life preserving measures and it's really air strike on the occupied. w

dw special correspondent abraham, many things and is really air strikes on the occupied. westbank is killed, 5 palestinian militants, an injured to other people. the strikes hit the block, the refugee camp near the city of novel, israel's military set. it struck a number of terrace, an armed wing of palestinian president mark, moodle bosses font party claimed the dead as it's fighters. more than 200 palestinians are estimated to have been killed in the occupied westbank since a mazda is terror attacks in israel. on the 7th of october, it is mainly media reporting that the desktop from the mazda attacks at the nova music festival on october 7 has been revised sharply upwards. they say a police investigation has found that at least 350 people died there, rather than the previously reported range of between 260 and 270 police say they believe that how much did not know about the festival before carrying out the attacks the conflict in gaza has also cast a shadow over a controversial visit to germany by turkeys president. richard, tell you, bird. one has been here in berlin for talked wi

that was the abraham in jerusalem, thanks for that. a hundreds more for an passport holders have left bows out through the roof or crossing into egypt. crowds have gathered on the border but only those on an official list are being allowed to pass. the biggest group of around 400 or us citizens today, the crossing has been open for the 1st time since the start of the current conflict between israel and i'm a dispute ticket out of casa, the russell border crossing is the only escape for these families. many of being that this bus to him and of hours waiting to have the documents approved and be allowed to board, the mixed boss heating across the board into egypt. my. i have an american passports. my georgia has one to my husband submitted his papers, but he still didn't get his passports. i'm pregnant. how am i supposed to get out without my husband? i appeal to anyone. i want to get out with my husband and my daughter. i'm just in the on the civil 100 jew nationality palestinians, foreign nationals and critically injured guys and have

let's cross over to dw special correspondent abraham in jerusalem, and the israeli army says its forces are fighting deep within gaza, said he, what more can you tell us? well, a couple of days ago we got confirmation that there is now in north and south gaza . and that is really a military has surrounded the city. and it seems that now they're in the side, and we can expect as close combat with him as fighters and an attempt to bring down the notorious tunnel system that because really military says how much has built across the strip. but they all believe that there's a particular concentration of that tunnel system in the north, regardless, sit here. so we can expect a urban warfare as this ground offensive moves forward at more intense a, fighting on the ground in close quarters with a between these really military and from us, a militant at military experts tell us that these really military is prepared for that kind of warfare at the same time urban warfare is known to be very, very costly. so that we, we can expect casualties among come buttons, military and civilians to also run

dw special correspondent abraham is in jerusalem and joins us now. we're now hearing reports that the israeli army has ordered the evacuation of guns as large as hospital the chief. or what do you know, as well, according to an s p journalist on the scene loudspeakers and announced that the idea was asking for the evacuation of the hospital within an hour. the idea of has come out and said that no such evacuation order has been issued and that medical personnel would be allowed to remain in the hospital to help the patients that were unable to leave. the idea for further said that they have offered hospital administration to us to facilitate a medical evacuations. but that if someone got, if cousins wanted to leave, they wouldn't be provided with a safe passage. so we have to contradicting pieces of information coming out of gaza and, but it does seem that for now the idea denies that order of evacuation. ok, so this is all very murky in dynamic, i think to say the least in all the extra to conflicting information you're getting . or you also hearing

that's so dw special correspondent abraham intel abuse of many things. a mazda is also released 10 tie hostages, taken during the october 7th attacks. ty authorities released images of their citizens with one filipino in and is really hospital. bangkok had been engaging for weeks in its own diplomatic talks to free it's nationalist, held by him us. the deal was separate to the one which saw these really hostages released. what happened at the same time? a dw, the asia pacific bureau chief gail bottles is in northern thailand. i asked him earlier about the reaction there to the release of the ty hostages. now of course, huge relief here in thailand, particularly where i am and who don't tell me where a lot of the migrant workers who were killed or taken hostage by almost any sort of time frame. we reached out to. one of the families was now waiting for the phone to return. their son was taken hostage and they are overjoyed about the news that he will return soon. icons. he's still in his right of the hospital on the but overall the thailand has been reall

now the dw special corresponded abraham. she is added protest intel, of the, of held by families of hostages. still in gaza, a up on day 2 of the cease fire. what's the mood where you are michael, i'm right now in downtown. tell us even in what has become known as hostage square . and virtually, since the beginning of this ordeal, families of hostages have been gathering here. we have our installations in a sort of a permanent protest here, united. they've gathered here virtually every night and certainly at every saturday to calls for the release of their loved ones. i've been speaking to people here all day, and the mood is really a mixed one. there's of course, a sense of relief that at least some of the hostages are now safely related with their families. we saw some emotional pictures coming out of these reunions today. so there's a lot of joy and relief for them, but there's also a sense of dread and an anger and fear for the ones that according to the steel which only includes 50 women and children will have to inevit

that was our special correspondent abraham in jerusalem. as well as wait, wait for the hostage release. deal to be implemented is really media reporting that an agreed pause in the fighting in guns has also been delayed. i spoke to mike martin and for british office, army officer and senior fellow with the department of worst studies in kings college, london. i asked him about how difficult it is to arrange such deals. i see for complicated, i mean you need 3 things really like sides. obviously need to want to come to a deal and is taken actually some time with this particular deals that both sides the one to be in that price. you need an intermediary, it into a key to who's trusted enough by both sides to conduct that diplomacy. initially, shuttling between the 2 sides, i think not highlights the importance of cuts out of here. and then of course, you need once the deals going through, you need someone. so want you to make sure that the, the terms verified. so as you say, it's very complicated to get those 3 conditions in place from a mili

that's due to these abraham in jerusalem. so we do have time to take a look at some other world news headlines. thousands of people have rallied in mexico city to demand justice after a prominent eligibility to floss. activist was found dead as associated by and became the country's 1st openly, non binary. traditional official had reported. they've received death threats. police said by and i and another person, identified as by in his partner were found dead at their residence in the central city of august kindly into a floods caused by torrential rain, have killed thousands of people in somalia. nearly half a 1000000 have been displaced and infrastructure has been severely damaged. united nation says if the worst flooding and decades and could trigger a humanitarian emergency and international delegates are meeting in the canyon capital nairobi to negotiate a binding treaty to reduce plastic waste. the director of the un environment program called for countries to improve recycling, the amount of plastic produce globally ha

but it's so bitterly far over and i'm now joined by our special corresponded abraham, who filed that report is good to have you back in the stages it once you just start by giving us a sense of just how, how many palestinians are affected by the 6th of items, are we talking about individual cases, or is this a bit of a general trend? so 2023 was actually on its way to being the most violent year since the one started taking records of settler violence in 2006. so the 1st 8 months of the year thought was the highest rate of subtler violence since records begins with sort of gives you an idea about how desperate the situation was prior to october 17th the terror attacks then. and since then would be one such as with the attacks have doubled per day. so just let that thinking it was already the most violent year on record. and since october 7th, the daily rate of settler violence has doubled. so that's one aspect of it, the, the amount of the that tax, there's also the quality of them. and what we've seen according to our reporting, speaking to human rights organization. speaking to man

that's why you saw two countries went ahead with it with the abraham accords.ut if you think it's going to be business as usual, i don't agree with it, but you never know. i actually asked you if you, on reflection, felt that the normalisation was a mistake. and i'm quoting to you now marwan muasher, former minister ofjordan, now at the carnegie endowment, who says this. he said recent efforts in the region have entirely focused on, for example, the abraham accords and on the false impression that peace is possible in the region without coming to terms with the palestinians still under occupation. i don't think... would you agree with that? i don't think one should focus on the negative aspect of any peace deal. we should focus on continuing finding peace. continuing finding the right partner to do peace with and to convince the international community that this is a global issue. this is an issue that deals directly with regional and international peace and stability, and we need to solve it. i think whenever we have an opportunity to use the path of peace, we

and they abraham joins me now from jerusalem a that was a really gripping report. and fantastic to see. tell me more about what these guys actually came up with brainstorming, practical ways to stand together. so the meeting that we were out in high for that's just one meeting out of a series that they have been putting together since the beginning of the war. and even though it may look like they're just sitting around and talking, they go to different cities around the country. so they've had them in jerusalem, they've had them until of eve. and these are always, you know, an opportunity to spread the message more and to have people, you know, yours people, arabs meet face to face and perhaps be confronted with ideas that they're not confronted with. or don't think about in their day to day. beyond that, there's also a, an error of jewish community guard as they call it. and that's when a members of standing together, always jewish and eric together go and form human chains outside of businesses that have come under attack. and uh, you know, because of hate speec

abraham moving from one place to another, trying to use diplomatic corridors to stop this aggression, this genocide, but then the latest we heard of him that if this continues and all out open war would strike the entire western asian part of the map, what do you think about that? i think we have good connection with iran because i think that iran all the time they support the palestian resistance with everything, their business is very very... good, very excellent, they speak loudly, they are totally different for many countries, they support the palestinian people, their resistance, they want to support, they want to help also, so i appreciate and i think that iran is playing good role now in supporting the resistance, also in in trying to to support us with the human assistance also in gaza, and they have their their contacts with different countries to stop the aggression on our people, so i think that i think we also we had the meetings with the minister of foreign affairs, mr. abraham, it was very fruitful, very positive and i think that we have. many things in order to to work

that was the w special. correspond to abraham in jerusalem. now we can also talk to mike martin, he's a former british army officer and senior fellow in the department of course, studies at kings, colleagues, london, mike negotiating us lease fire agreements and hostage release. deal between warring parties is obviously complicated. how do these kinds of talks normally proceed? i super complicated. i mean you need 3 things really. both sides obviously need to want to come to a deal. and this taken actually some time with this particular deals that both sides to one to be in that place. you need an intermediary it into a key to who's trusted enough by both sides to conduct that diplomacy. initially shuttling between the 2 sides, i think not highlights the importance of cuts out of here. and then of course, you need once the deals going through, you need someone. so want you to make sure that the, the terms verified. so as you say, it's very complicated to get those 3 conditions in place from a military point of view, how complex is an exchange

as always, thanks very much for your reporting on that, that is dw special correspondent abraham and now to some of the stories related to the conflicts of them. at least 3 college students of palestinian descent have been shot and injured in the us state of vermont. investigators or tracing the shooting as a possible hate crime. 2 of them in all said to be in stable condition, but one has most serious injuries, police searching for the same. tens of thousands of demonstrators have marched through london for a randy against anti semitism. the united kingdom, se the steep rise in crimes against the jewish communities since the war between israel and thomas for the house and germany's prison in front voltage time i is in jerusalem and to show solidarity with israel. he's using these permit us opinion and this and yeah. who later today on sundays time i met with families off hostages taken by him us in the october 7th terror attacks. he also held tolts with israel's president isaac fizzle, stein my as to day trip to israel will be followed by visits to both old man and to top i a. c. w

let's go back to dw special correspondent abraham in jerusalem a. the german foreign minister is talking to palestinian officials. right now we understand how positive assigned is it, that palestinians themselves are being brought into the shuttle diplomacy revolving around the guns, a conflict as well. if we're talking about a larger, more sustainable solution to the conflict between israel and the palestinians. i think there's now recognition that it won't be solved without the involvement of palestinian, so it's certainly positive. but i know lena bear book is meeting with officials from the palestinian authority as well. however, when it comes to the current and the air strikes war, rockets that from us is firing from gaza into israel. it's, it's not very likely that the people that i know lena bear buck net with today can help with that. they simply the, the, the palestinian authority has no control over the gaza strip. they are in fact, rivals of, uh how much and have not had any control over the strips since 2007. and so that's not really a,

a deal like this, it's done only when it's when it's done and these people are safely back home. abraham and jerusalem, there will germany's foreign minister on any available cause said a cease fire in the middle east would prevent israel from defending itself. speaking to dw bab of defend the jeremy's refusal tobacco seize fire in gaza instead, berlin says if box humanitarian pauses that would allow ad for 8 to get into gaza. she also had a criticism of germany support for israel calling it quote, extremely disturbing. a gemini foreign minister has a message for the arab world, taking a break from international diplomacy on rolling up apple join, deed of use arabic show jeff, i talk for an in that interview on the war in the middle east. flashed on the agenda. y gemini, has so far refused to bach has ceased firing. garza and that's what it would do. i'd like to use that would mean israel would no longer be able to defend itself, submit the ongoing barrows or missiles. so for me, every day and last night it said that it wants to wipe his way out of the man. that's what it means they want

i have abraham is covering this story for us and tourism. and i told us more about the possible hostage deal with thomas. well, they like that it's not done until it's done. we've heard from category officials who have been the main negotiators and uh, the mediators in this deal that uh, what remains are logistical challenges. but remember, even with a deal like this, even logistical challenges can be a very controversial and take time to, to implement. we've been here before. it feels like there were a number of deals that felt like they were going to come through. but then in the end fell apart, but we are told, according to reports again, no confirmation that the steel would involve the returning of some 15 is really hostages, the children mothers and the elderly. and in exchange, there would be some sort of a pause of fire for a couple of days. unclear just how many this would, of course, commented as a huge relief to the families of the hostages, who have just been an absolute anguish and tagami since the 7th of october. but again, thes

so i abraham is dw special correspondent. thank you so much. i supposed to be hearing from the old days. this is the last day of a agreed for day truce between israel and from us. the fighting and bump bob meant as little but stopped giving guys him some rest. bite. ok now from one extended family that made its way to a gauze and beach for a visit. that was all too brief. a chance to breeze without the smoke and stench of war. there is space at this beach for the assault on family. so different from their space at a facility for displaced guidance. for a brief moment in time, children can play the fear of violence set aside. but not for their parents, reflecting on who and what has been lost since the october 7 tomas terror attacks on his will. that spurred massive is really retaliation plan. i'll go ahead and send a quick change to the beach to take a breather. then to change the depressing and polluted environment where in an hour, then people come to the beach to relax, to swim for the children, to have fun, take food with them. but we're so

even went so far as to say he had the potential to be the next abraham lincoln.was wrong about that decisio- [laughter] and very quickly came to regret it. butso both wilson and duboise, o men with huge egos, two men who believed in the powerth of their own beelect which capabilities -- intellect and capabilities, they thought that democracy could be achieved and spread if on a worldwide scale as a result of the war. due boys speaking about democracy in the specific context of black people and the broader diaspora. still, anti interesting connectn between these two men about what democracy meant at the time. terms of duboise's belief that world war i could be different, i struggled with this because on the one hand, you're right, why would he think anything would be different? it seems just incredibly naive of duboise to believe that world war i would be this transformative moment for democracy and for black people in particular. but keep in mind duboise was a historian. and he drew from the history of black service in the american revolution. in the civil war es
