long neal, with your experience as a former, a former dart to general the foreign ministry of israel. you believing in any way that promise to benjamin netanyahu is likely to agree to a cease 5 do any time soon, especially since israel has time and time again said that it will only end the war if it gets rid of how much and how much, how stipulates it, but the only way they would agree to as the slot is to a permanent, into the will is a permanent and so we would like to, to materialize anytime soon. and is, is there any concern as well the, an occupation codes continue by as role in goals or even if that would it, and of the out the, to the big problems one see, striking is going on in the few years now on the numbers. really numbers of what is called the terrorist say a. so it's a problem to break the, the, the when finding is going more because it doesn't, it doesn't look, this is c and cheese. anything 3, almost at this stage. so this is problem number one, problem know the toys, the mdx j, we remove these many prisoners. we have the knowledge is in mind and brotherly way. ready i

women, and tomorrow we understand how my should be giving the names the identities of those 3 over to israel. what the ministry of justice has done is issued the list of palestinian prisoners that go to be released on sunday as well. um, so this is part of the exchange. there will be many more over the course of $42.00 days. this is the 1st phase uh, in terms of the agreement, the way it stipulated. $33.00 is ready, the captives for around $1700.00 policy and prisoners. it's all right, let's take a closer look at benjamin netanyahu fragile coalition. it held 68th of a 120 seats in these ready parliament slit majority. that depends on too far right parties. the joys party has 6 seats. it's led by national security, and it's the, it's my been you who's threatening to quit the college. and if the deal goes ahead, they're gonna just sign this policy led by the finance minister by zillow smotts rich. it has 7 seats. smart trips says he will quit the coalition if there is no return to the will after the 1st phase of the deal. however, opposition lead to yeah, le pete has offered to make a deal with nesting. yahoo in

but of course was released by israel's health ministry. of course, there is also an operation that has been done by these really army wings of freedom as they're calling it. and this is the protocol for these is really captives. it's a little bit different than what we saw back in november of 2023 because of course this is 15 months later and not just one month later, but nonetheless, the sigh of relief among these really public tonight, as they were watching, daniel has already announced that the captives were back in his really territory live on a big screen and wants to become known as hostage square a place where routinely family members of is really captives for the last year. have been protesting against these really government calling for a deal. and even though we are in a deal and 3 captives will release, the family members are saying that it needs to be seen all the way through with kansas. go to phase one, needs to be completed into phase 2 and 3, so that all of the captives can be returned. and all the while we've been hearing f

just go straight to alone. leo alone is a former director general of israel's foreign ministry. you are joining us from tel aviv alone. your thoughts on joe's that phone becoming the new president of living on your neighbor. this is a navaros page. it was very comprehensive, very presidential and so i'll say good news to lee and our region these, this somewhat deals up to 50 miles of ongoing blending and several issues. they were extremely bothered. i heard of the democracy. that level will be a democracy. and of course i heard the no, eh, no one besides the country may carry weapons. this is a homeowner interest of use where you live. i'm and the new president, and i'm sure it is. when we do, it's best to make sure that this is about an hour north carry weather. so if the police army cannot deliberate, i think is likely to be involved in a year. and the fact that the national community, especially western countries, are welcoming is open. the middle of june, it is a doing the when, when he's found lying around the country, especially the south, it was nobody to talk with. but no

of course, no, because it is supported with a lot of money and we've ministry support from the west. we give them bundled billions of pounds. the israel and ministry supports protects it. specifically from the united states. it is going that every single. yeah, yeah, of course a wouldn't be able to survive without that lifeline. i think, you know, is riley is one of the top beneficiaries of aids from the united states. of course, i can speak most about the united kingdom and i think this is reflected in the us as well. is that the 2 main legacy policies and so i would call them the conservatives and labor. they both have within the policies, very, very powerful lobbying groups for israel. there is the conservative friends of his route and is the labor of friends of israel, and many, many people in the top of the government of the you type today, all members of labor of friends of israel, i may receive donations from this organization as the conservative ministers did to a large extent during their 14 years previous, the key installment coming in the i'm gonna tell you something which i, i made a video about on my youtube, a few people

so robin in though how remind to of all top stories? israel's ministry says a series of operations engineering will continue. despite the rising death, toll is escalating attacks and they don't keep high westbank days off to the cause of cease by deals. troops of killed at least 12 palestinians, destroyed a number of homes which he saw between his rollins moss and gauze as i entered its 6 day view and is warning that the humanitarian situation remains desperate. it says 1000000 children of suffering mental health issues of the us president donald trump is facing legal challenges to his executive orders. a judge has temporarily built his order to restrict best right citizenship calling it unconstitutional. dozens of people reported from the us of arrived in mexico, and i was the trump administration crux, download integration. they were going to the, in the board of town, those to that's what it is by demonstrate as calling for that protection. mexican is building temporary shelters in preparation full, the influx of deportees. trump has designated illega

women and tomorrow we understand how my should be giving the names the identities of those 3 over to israel. what the ministry of justice has done is issued the list of palestinian prisoners that are going to be released on sunday as well. um, so this is part of the exchange. there will be many more over the course of $42.00 days. this is the 1st phase uh, in terms of the agreement, the way it stipulated. $33.00 is ready, the captives for around $1700.00 policy and prisoners. okay, stephanie, thanks so much for that to. let's take a closer look at benjamin to send you all his front coalition, whole 68 to the 120 seats in the is really part of it's a slim majority. depends on too far, right parties, jewish how a policy is, succeeds. it's led by national security minister. it's more been because there is threatening to quit the coalition if the deal goes ahead. the sun is populated by finance minister, best or small treacher 7 seats. spots rich says he will quit the coalition if there is no return to the will of the 1st phase of the deal. however, opposition lead the yellow pete has offered to make a deal with

from our own independent reporting, we are learning some of the victims from the israel ministry of foreignffairs, they claim that two israeli citizens were injured in the incident. uga announcing that one of their students was critically injured in the attack and is receiving medical treatment. we are going to start to see those names trickle out there and those pieces starting to come together and unfortunately, again, as we are seeing the death toll climb, we are hearing some of the injuries of those wounded in this terrible attack are pretty serious and severe. one can hope that medical professionals are doing their part to make sure more lives are spared. >> for anyone who's not been in new orleans, the area you're standing in right now is dense, packed with hotels, with tourists. as you said, there are a lot of folks who are in town for the holiday, for this game. what are police officials telling tourists who are seeking to stay or to clear out the area? >> reporter: looking around, again, you can't really tell from where i'm standing but i can tell you that tourists out milling abou

hospitals that are preparing to receive these newly freed hostages, as well as from the ministry of health in israel. and they say that they've learned a lot of lessons from november, late november of 2023, when we saw dozens of hostages released at the time. one of them was to give them more privacy in these hospitals. and so we've seen specific wards of these hospitals set up and prepare to be closed off for these hostages of newly freed hostages, to be there with medical professionals and, of course, with their families. and there's a longer period of time that's now being recommended for them to remain in those hospitals for for four days now is what's being suggested. as long as again, those newly freed hostages and their families are in agreement with that. but of course, the situation is very different this time because, you know, you talk last time about more than 50 days of captivity that those hostages endured at the time. and now, dana, we are talking about, you know, nearly 500 days of captivity, 15 months in, in conditions that have ranged depending on various hostages experience. but w

the perspective the from israel out in the former director general of israel's foreign ministry, joining us from tennessee. we appreciate your time. thank you for all 15 months. so these are as well on guys as taking a devastating toll on its people. more than 46700 policy needs have been killed since october. the 7th. 2023. that's nearly 2.2 percent of the population of those more than $17000.00 with children. but the overall figure does not include the $11000.00 about a city and considered missing and buried under the rubble. several assessments by ins, national organizations estimate the desktop could be significantly higher of the united nations secretary general. and tony of the terrace says it's now an imperative that the ceasefire removes all obstacles to a getting into the gaza strip. gabriel is also has more on this from you and a headquarters in new york. in his 1st remarks after the cease fire deal with announced the secretary general, think the mediators specifically egypt cuts are in the united states for what he called their on wavering commitment to finding a diplomatic so

been approved by him as since may and by the admission of the convicted there's during ministry minister of national affairs, i'm our been beer in israel. and that he was, he sabotaged at the reaching of any agreement including this one since last night. which is an indication of how the israeli government functions our looks at its genocide in gaza. where it sees it as a political assets for its own survival and benefit at the expense of the dead past the new children. and i believe that nathaniel, who will not stop, we looking for an excuse to get away from any association of israel as genocide in garza. and of course during that he is building a case and which is false. claims are directed towards about sending side whether it was how may i ask about the whoever it is, as long as it is now send you, it's a target form distance from his races. so premises, genocide, goal frame of mind that has driven legislative israel since the late ninety's. so the deal hasn't even come into effect. it doesn't start until sunday, but there's already so much skepticism. over the day i live in radian military officials, avoiding that as well could br

outbreaks or by lessons that will speaking to ard, see the head of the palestinian ministry overseeing prisoners. the 1st claimed israel was doing all it code to delay the progress of the current. the ongoing fraud job will cease. fire is the israel has clearly tried to create conditions for the negotiations to fail or the rail. it has actively sought to blame the palestinians for this failure and to justify its crimes of genocide. israel has resorted to blackmail in the case of prisoners, although this was only the 1st stage of the exchange. the other prisoners will eventually be discussed in the coming negotiations. however, it has tried to slow down the resolution of some issues. israel has the means and resources and will try to repeat the atrocities again and again to reject the symbols of the palestinian national struggle. if it were not for the serious pressure on israel from the international community and regional states, the cease fire in gaza would not have been agreed upon. israel, as you know, has been inventing excuses since may 2024, to delay the tox. what with a gas a cease fire? no, i being in force. t

negotiations meeting in qatar have raised hopes that israel and hamas are on the vertices filed deal after months of deadlock. the foreign ministry israel has cautioned that the deal is not there yet. us presidentjoe biden and the egyptian president are calling on both sides to show flexibility to achieve a truce. a palestinian official for the stage of the deal will happy with the release of 3a israeli hostages including women, children, the wounded and sick. in return, its expected that israel will release 1,000 palestinian prisoners, including about 190 prisoners who have been serving sentences of 15 years or more. the final stage involves an agreement about the reconstruction of gaza — a process that could take years. for more on the situation, here's an update from our state department correspondent, tom bateman. the sense remains that these two sides are extremely close to a deal and that an announcement could come either within hours or within days. but is hoped for at some point this week and certainly before the inauguration of president trump next monday. now, we also had in washington a pretty significant intervention

now instead of preventing crimes, israel seems to be more focused on protecting its own ministry personnel from being brought to justice. now is there any news outlet, wine that's published? a guide for idea of sold as a traveling abroad about what to check before a trip and what to do if the rested among the advice given before traveling use rodney soldiers should consult with the lawyer now in general. so just shoot to avoid posting photos of videos from this service, especially with content show being destroyed buildings. and if i rested a soul must request a visit from b as is really console that we spoke with you. i live up and have a, a board member all the anti war group piece. now, he said, such manuals make sense, but the real issue is how to prevent soldiers from committing atrocities. it can understand why these are, i mean government, these really mean the i saying 1st of all you need to protect go. so i agree that it's not enough. it's just the end of the world. we need to see how we can affect the date. so just know to commit to old cards, not how to hide it, but how to preve

of the information from those killed by. well, interest was considered rather than overall casualty figures because the house ministry says that more than 47000 palestinians have been killed since israel's thoughts of its war. and october 2023, a separate long since study suggests the death toll could beat 40 percent higher. now math skills, but as an emergency doctor, he's provided health care in garza from mold and stuff to use. and he says that what continues from abroad to help us to indians, the working night and day, we actually sold it already. because now we all need to turn our eyes towards the rebuilding of golf saw. and that shouldn't be done under palestinian leadership based on compression. they've sold a direct t. i'm not on a charity where we think that the white workers have to go into everything the policy is, are perfectly capable of running their health care system, given that they're not boomed and besieged. so now we need to move on to plan together with the policy in the hands, under the leadership, how to rebuild health care in gaza. as part of that, we are a having a, a large so the direct, the goal that pump starts here in the also concert tool. tomorrow evening
