but we have capacity inside gaza.grammes before the war, we have the networks, the community acceptance, we have the people on the ground who can do this work. in many ways, of the distribution of supplies, supplies that have been outside gaza for several months, this is the easy bit. we have to move away from thinking about people's needs in gaza as a function of the volume of aid, the number of trucks that get in. the real rebuilding process here were take an awful lot of time. not just talking about food, health care, buildings, roads, infrastructure, we've got individuals, families, communities that need to be rebuilt. the trauma that they've gone through, the suffering, the loss, grief, the humiliation and the cruelty that they have endured over the past 16 months. this is going to be a very, very long road. every person in gaza has been traumatised by what has gone on. everyone has lost something. most of those homes are now destroyed, most of the roads are now destroyed. it is going to be a long, long process o

in northern gaza.orary relocation is usually provocative —— provocative there from president trump. indeed and it shows how ignorant he is of the conflict especially for palestinians whose whole stories refugee hood. so even at a practical level, i have friends here in the us, gazans in the us that and i want to move back to gaza. so clearly he does not have an understanding of what the land needs to palestinians. as the reporter said, he thinks of it as real estate, he does not think of how someone could be attached to a land because of its history. we be attached to a land because of its history.— of its history. we have gotten use to president _ of its history. we have gotten use to president trump - of its history. we have gotten use to president trump and l of its history. we have gotten. use to president trump and his previous term saying things off of the cuff, you say he may not be serious and has not bought theirs through, but these sorts of comments can have repercussions —— not thought this

in gaza city for this release. it's not all going to be good news, though, and that is part of this horrific story that we continue to cover. the israeli people still have a major question about the bibas family, a family that had two young children, one of them a baby, dragged into gaza on october 7th, and their fate is still unknown today. but again, the latest information that we have, these four israeli female soldiers who were taken from the nahal oz base on october 7th, were just released to the red cross and they are on their way to idf positions on the gaza border to ultimately be reunited with their loved ones. the base that they were taken from that sits along the gaza border. 54 israeli soldiers were killed at that base. these young women were taken hostage. and again, they've been held inside gaza since early october of 2023. >> truly excellent news that they are now in the custody of the red cross. on their way home back to israel, we were just showing live pictures from hostage square there in israel,

gaza is just an example.s an insurgency, to be sure, it may not be able to govern gaza, but it will survive as a legitimate political actor, able through intimidation and co—optation basically to outflank and outmanoeuvre whatever palestinian governing authority. and by the way, none is now contemplated other than the weak palestinian authority that controls no more of 40% of the west bank and is led by an ageing 89—year—old leader with authoritarian tendencies. so, i mean, reshaping the middle east — i'll believe it when i see it. the question is, can we turn this agreement into something more, something that would actually create a pathway for israelis and palestinians to begin to deal with the broader issues of the decades—old conflict that has caused both people such a great deal? and i suppose, i mean, we're talking about the future of gaza, we need to sort of presuppose that these initial stages actually work, but if they do, what are the challenges in rebuilding gaza when the un says something like 70%

we amounts to ethnic cleansing of the gaza strip.— the gaza strip.e gaza strip. we don't know what president donald - the gaza strip. we don't know what president donald trump| what president donald trump meant by the words, we can only play the words themselves, on the wider issue you have been involved in the hostage negotiations in the first phase of this party will come hostage we still, israel has accused hamas of not releasing a certain civilian and failing to provide the agreed list of the status of the remaining hostages. how difficult is it at this time where there are still negotiations going on, and how did he actually work, you having been part of them? it is a dangerous period right now because the ceasefire is very fragile, the list of names, the condition of the remaining hostages, 26 hostages that are supposed to be released in the first 42 days according to the agreement that was reached with the help of qatar and the united states. there are a total of 90 hostages left in gaza, the remaining supposed to be released in phase two, neg

i want to tell you we have for us here the situation in gaza, the humanitarian situation in gaza has been very much on the agenda and the situation in the middle east. i'm very happy we can have this conversation with you. we also have here the qatari prime minister. other arab leaders addressing the situation. also overall in the region, we also heard hear from is really president herzog. it is important we hear from you and your for our vantage point what the situation is and hopefully what the steps are going forward to further de-escalate and further alleviate the human suffering that is on our minds and has been on our minds overall these months. i think everyone is curious to get your perspective on the situation on the ground after the cease-fire and how to make sure this is a sustained, what are the things that are being undertaken or should be undertaken to further address the situation and make sure this is sustainable, sustained. >> thank you for giving me this platform. today, what we have witnessed in gaza is nothing short of a catastrophe of a massive extent and we can

specifically inside gaza.ok at the public opinion polls in places like ramallah versus gaza city the support varies. the palestinians who talk to exist on a spectrum. certainly there are many who support the actions of hamas they see them as the only viable organization fighting on their behalf. they look at two options they look at hamas and said this is an organization that committed an attack on behalf of the palestinian people. they look at the pa as a corrupt organization working with the israelis. it will be interesting to see public opinion polling post war to see if it affected their support levels and that the gaza strip understanding if you go back to 2005, 2006 this was the organization the palestinian people voted for to lead their people specifically inside gaza with a population of more than 2 million palestinians. >> is hard to see how any israeli government could support a so-called two state solution for particular given what you were just talking about for this and increased radicalization so

into northern gaza. hello and welcome. four female israeli soldiers have been freed by hamas in the second hostage—prisoner swap of the gaza ceasefire deal. the israeli military said they've been reunited with their parents at a reception point in southern israel. gunmen and crowds gathered in palestine square in gaza city as the hostages were released to the red cross in a highly choreographed handover. the soldiers had been held since being abducted from an israeli border base at the start of the october the seventh attacks in 2023. a short time later, israel released these pictures showing them being received back by the military. they are now undergoing medical assessment. in exchange, israel has freed around 200 palestinian prisoners. hamas has told mediators that a female israeli civilian, arbel yehud, held hostage in the gaza strip, will be released next week. israel has said she should have been freed today. it's cast some doubt on another of stage of the ceasefire. the israeli prime minister's o

fully supported to have access to gaza and enable to enter gaza and operate in gaza. >> so the ceasefire between israel and hamas. there is quite a complicated relationship also also between your government and hamas. you said your government should be invested in doing more. how do you view that in light of the complicated relationship we know between your government and hamas? >> as a person in government today and also as a mother and regular palestinian gaza was -- only natural today that it goes back to the core, and the core is today whether we like it or not is the palestinian authority. and the palestinian authority has left gaza. during the war, many of the staff in education in water and like that were paid by the palestinian authority they have continued to work. it would be challenging to mobilize everybody. but it's doable. because once you have people already working and this is what we would be working on. >> are you optimistic because the plan has three stages. yes. >> are you optimistic we can get there. >> it is not a choice or option. we can't resort top hopelessness o

for 17 years, hamas ruled gaza, and it built almost nothing in gaza.those 17 years, except for one enormous thing that is by far the largest thing palestinians have ever built. and that's the tunnel system of 500km of tunnels, some of them wide enough to drive trucks through. and the tactical purpose of it, the only purpose of those tunnels was so that when the enemy comes for them, the only way to come for them is to cut through cities, to get to them. i'm going to risk getting people upset. what that means is that on october 7th, hamas did not carry out one atrocity. it carried out two. one was against the israelis, and the second one, which in sheer human suffering, is an order of magnitude higher, was against gaza. fareed, not a single gazan civilian has been allowed to step foot in a single tunnel in 16 months. the tunnels purpose is to allow hamas to pop out now. and doesn't matter what happened to gaza. it doesn't matter how much the israelis turned over gaza to try and get into those tunnels, they can survive. now, when you face an enemy for wh

oed would volunteer for palestinians in gaza. -- in gaza every day to take them to israeli hospitals and yet he was taken in the most brutal way to gaza and we pray that him and all the other hostages will come back immediately according to the agreement as soon as possible with no ifs and buts, and i think we all have to express our gratitude. [applause] fareed: so let me ask you about the prospects of getting more hostages out, which is getting to the second phase of the deal. pres. herzog: yes. fareed: at the second phase of the deal, israeli forces do have to withdraw according to the outlines from some substantial areas. if that happens, it has already been made clear that the minister of finance mr. smotrich will resign, in which case bibi netanyahu does not have a majority. is it inevitable that we will never get to the second phase because of that complexity? pres. herzog: no, i believe that there is a clear potential of getting to the second phase. there is a a desire to get to the second phase. we meant it when we signed the agreement. we know that there are challenges and

israeli bombardments have reduced much of gaza to rubble. mr trump's comments will be seen as unacceptable by palestinians, who see gaza as their homeland, and by arab countries, which reject the forced displacement of people. hamas says it will oppose plans and islamichhad says it will encourage war crimes. but they are already being welcomed by far—right israeli politicians, some of whom want to restore jewish settlements there. let's take a listen to what mr trump said. i'm looking at the whole gaza strip right now- and it's a mess. you would like jordan to take people? _ you would like jordan to take people? i'd like jordan- to house people from gaza to take people. i'd like egypt to take people. i'm meeting with... i'm talking to the general- tomorrow sometime, i believe. and i'd like egypt to take people. l and i'd like jordan to take j people, because, i mean, you're talking about probably a million and a half— people, and we just clean out that whole thing. - it's... over the centuries, it's. many, many conflicts on that site. and i

to end the 15 months long war in gaza. the ceasefire in gaza is due to begin in less than 2a hours. mediators in qatar have announced it will take effect from 8.30am sunday israel/gaza time — that's 6.30am gmt. after hours of discussion, the israeli cabinet gave final approval to the ceasefire and hostage release deal with hamas. the cabinet meeting lasted more than six hours, with some ministers who had threatened to resign arguing that the agreement rewards hamas. the first hostages are due to be released on sunday, under the first phase of the agreement. a reminder that this is a three stage agreement. let's take a moment to look at the deal that israel and hamas have agreed to. in broad terms, we understand it will be three stages. the first stage beginning on sunday. three of the hostages taken by hamas during the attack into israel in october 2023 are due to be released. it's thought that 30 more hostages will be released in the weeks which follow. more than 700 palestinian prisoners are being released. in exchange,

gaza is littered with garbage in all cities i have been to, from gaza city in the north to rafa in thewage, rubble everywhere. in the south, in khan younis and rafah, it is like an earthquake. it is dangerous environment for children and the needs are incredibly high. besides shelter and the diseases that are spreading, there is also very important needs related to nutrition. hunger has been severe throughout gaza. the risk of famine has been looming over the north but hunger has also been severe in the southern and central parts. families have lived off canned food and bread for over a year. many families have also been dependent on soup kitchens and bakeries. i have seen children queueing there, fighting with each other, fighting with adults over a loaf of bread. so there is a dire need of everything today in gaza. my colleagues have been working literally around the clock to accelerate the inflow of aid supplies. and we have seen a steep increase of the supplies coming into gaza since the ceasefire has taken effect. they supplies are picked about the crossing point, brought to wareh

and very soon later gaza is forgotten and gaza sinks again into its siege. let's remember it's the biggest cage in the world into it's poverty, into its hopeless conditions and this i would expect this time to to be different. but very small chances because those issues, for example, don't interest the trump administration at all. what do they have with human rights? what do they have with palestinians? i mean, this is the last thing that they would care. i guess. >> a quick update for our viewers as we see these pictures out of gaza city, where we expect for additional israeli hostages to be released together with columnist gideon levy, former adviser to former prime minister shimon peres. i'm wondering if, again, it is important to to recognize that the the importance of this moment for the families of israeli soldiers. karina ariev, daniella gilboa, naama levy and liri albag, these four young women who also served in the israeli forces and have been held captive for so long, and their family, as they've spoken to cnn in the past, describing the anguish, t

nothing like what they've suffered in gaza. nothing like what they've suffered in gaza. but one of the things we learned is it can always get worse and it may get worse. it will probably continue. but there is a trajectory, which is a trajectory of hope. and i think we have to keep that in mind. that's the first thing i want to say. the second thing i want to say is that what we've been listening to tonight in the way of poetry and narrative and stories and literature and acting and art and theater and movies is more important than what i do as a historian or what journalists do or, what academics do. i mean, we've done our part. we've helped to change the narrative. but what people like arafat, people like mazen, what people the folks that i hope you'll their books and spread them are doing is much more fundamental. it gets the humanity of the palestinians. it gets the narrative of the palestinian through in a way nothing i write nothing. edward wrote nothing any us wrote can do. we played our part. i'm playing my part. eliot. how edward played his part became. eliot hu

israel fought this war with the aim of eliminating hamas from gaza.d. but the pr message was clear — we're still here. the hostages were driven by the red cross to the israeli military, and they were soon reunited with their mothers. in return for the three women being set free, israel agreed to release 90 palestinian prisoners. outside ofer prison, crowds waited late into the night as checks were carried out inside. then, in the early hours, came confirmation that the release had taken place. in gaza itself, the guns did, after a small delay on sunday morning, fall silent. for the nearly two million displaced, the focus is now on returning to find out what's left of home. translation: the halting of the bloodshed is - an indescribable feeling. i thank god that i survived this war safely. however, when we returned to our homes, we found nothing but ruin and destruction. i cannot describe the scene in words. i don't know what to say. it's likely to be an experience repeated again and again. 15 months of war and israeli strikes has reduced much of gaza

tt is any better in gaza? it is certainly _ any better in gaza? is certainly much better. any better in gaza? it is i certainly much better than any better in gaza? tit 3 certainly much better than how it was before the ceasefire when we talked aboutjust over 50 trucks of eight, now we are talking about thousands of trucks going on, what needs to happen is for the ceasefire to hold for more commercial trucks to come into gaza and for unrwa to come into gaza and for unrwa to be continue to work, we are the largest humanitarian organisation in the gaza strip. thank you, juliette touma from unrwa. staying in the middle east. the lebanese health ministry has accused the israeli army of firing at residents trying to return to their homes in southern lebanon, and says 15 people have been killed and dozens injured. israel's military — which missed today's deadline to leave the area, after a 60—day ceasefire deal expired — says its troops had fired "warning shots" in order to "remove threats". both israeli troops and his brotherfighters were supposed to h

the destruction of gaza has left 42000000 tons of russell. i'm most proud of citizens are returning to a show of that for my lives. the how does it? i know i built this house piece by piece the bar to hunt to and when i returned to it, or if i didn't find it, as i knew it was to pull, i can see is devastation. and really the have you, i don't see my hub. i can only see destruction of the what that have done with it, but the, the whole thing of the bloodshed is an indescribable feeling. and i mean, how does a lot of but i mean what i can, i thank god that i survived. this was safely, but when we return to our homes, we found nothing, nothing but ruin and destruction. i cannot describe the scene in woods. well, this is the same right now and upon eunice, in the southern gaza people that i'm throughout the strips set the 1st full nights without fear of being foamed and woke up to the 1st full day of the seas for us. now their attention is turning to returning home or at least to what's left of the houses. this is the scene for renewal in giovann
