and the palestinian authority and the arab league.r egypt and to taken far egypt—and jordan ta taken from the gaza strip. residents from the gaza strip. they they reject the they are'saying they'reject the of palestinians from transfer of palestinians from their land under any . or ci rcumstances or they say we citcumstancesor they say we are justifications. they say we are looking forward to with looking forward to working with the trump administration to thetrunap'administratic-n to a just and l eace -eace deal “a east based on his two solution. reaction there state solution. reaction there to comments from 55. 5555; inglessc £72; “liz�*s ww" ....... for 55. 55.555 55555555 5555 5�*555�*5 ............... ....... for some 55. 555.55 55555555 5555 5�*555�*5 ............... w”” for some of trump calling for some of neighbours to taken from there as the is 7175515577 territory is being reconstructed those reconstructed and those calls are being rejected by arab foreign ministers meeting in . today. he gave his assessment on today's host

but of course the corrupt palestinian authority then will kind of be neutralize. if that actually will happen. and i'm egypt enjoyed measured, se refusing point blank, any of the just despite no doubt threats from trump to go along with the trump agenda. but then so we can say that that was successive raising. regimes in your country have helped thomas basically because the bible blinking regime is we saw when the prisoners were sent to back to israel to the october 7th presidents. mazda has never been stronger and admission from the outgoing blinking state department. and if the west bank goes, because trump is given to go ahead to destroy it, basically these are the greatest recruiting subjects for palestinian resistance in recent years or. and you have a, an ailing netanyahu's and maybe on his last legs and the ultimate agenda. benjamin netanyahu has been to drag the united states into a direct, military confrontation with iran. so that is certainly in the cards. that's something that in yeah, who expects out of trump? and with donald trump, what you're going t

to come to salutes has moved from a non she's that because there's really government on the palestinian authority of band algebra from or pushing inside israel in the occupied westbank. well, these really military has released an initial statement saying that they detonated this residential block of 20 homes because they say and claim it was used for quote, terror infrastructure. you'll recall that these really military has been conducting this raid for nearly 2 weeks. the siege on jeanine is still ongoing. and these unprecedented scenes that we're seeing today and more quite an escalation in what we've seen, these really army have set up multiple roadblocks and other checkpoints across the occupied west bank. there have been at least 27 palestinians who have been killed the many civilians, including a 2 year old girl who was shot in the head. well, eating dinner at home with her family and a 73 year old elderly man shop eyes really forces this morning. these really army has said for the last several weeks since the ceasefire in gauze that took place, that they are gearing up for large scale mili

each month for the 1st time the roof are crossing re open under new arrangements uh with the palestinian authority personnel and the re fi and union of civilian mission at present at the crossing. at 450 palestinians among the injuries and the, the patients and the children made their way out of the dogs a service through the crossing for 8 months. many of the people who were waiting for medical evacuation, some of them were lucky enough, the where the through the for the nation of organization made their way to medical evacuation outside of government. but many who waited for long the 8 months were enough time for many of them to die inside and inside the hospitals across the guster. we know many of them did not receive the security clear and said because they were preventive by a. these really military on these really intelligence from the fact with in the gaza strip that today was more of a scene of happened is to see the 1st batch of, of injuries. and patients and children needed immediate medical evacuation leaving the god forbid, or medical treatment in egypt and other and other countries th

the bus that arrived in ramallah in the past hour is really, authorities are releasing 183 palestinians on day 14 of the ceasefire. 72 had been serving long or life sentences. us earlier, 3 is realize we're freed from captivity and gaza. that is american is really national keith siegel. he appeared on stage and gaza city along with homos fighters . this was the public display of his release. he was then handed over to red cross staff. israel's military has now confirmed that siegel has arrived in israel. how you might have done it in the great day has arrived. yes, i am happy, i am happy. there was no one happier than me. i'm ready with everything and i'm going by to meet you in hon eunice french's really captive officer calderon, also appeared on stage before being handed over to red cross officials. the hand over was much smoother than the release of captive stays earlier that had been described by his realist, chaotic and moments later yard indeverus was transferred to red cross officials, as well as military. he says both captives have since arrived on his really territory and they

a new prime minister mohammed mustafah was appointed to lead the palestinian authority. isn't the reality though, the p a is probably weaker than ever very much so the combination of its own, of corruption and the, the, the view that in increasing view that they are essentially a collaborators with the as riley's other inability to, to stop the war. and how they even going to get basic services. yes, i mean israel's law against the owner. i went into effect this week a few days ago and they were evacuated basically from their offices in jerusalem and their future is unclear. um, obviously the most urgent situation is that you might have terry and then the services in the education that we provide. but i think what, what his role is really doing here. and again, it's very open and clear in terms of the color of the, the government's agenda, and extremely concerned. some of them i'm really afraid that the, the c as we have witnessed in gaza. i'm going to repeat this here for the sake of this on. busy and an exception process, and i think most importantly a piece of state w

following developments from children's capital amman, because these really governments and palestinian authority have bandages era from reporting inside as well as well as in the occupied with bank benjamin espanol who is in dc. he's waiting to meet steve witt cost the us and boy to the middle a. so he is essentially that to present the is ready pon for the 2nd stage of the ceasefire deal. so they are very much beginning this stage where we are expecting them to send delegations to negotiate says, but that essentially starts from this as a by an actual meeting. now we know, following this meeting, steve with comfortable, then go speak to high officials from both kata and egypt. and when he returns and states and this and yahoo, they will then decide on a schedule for this new yahoo to send out and it's ready delegation. now it is important to say that what nobody is uh this. no, he didn't go to meet us present. donald trump for breakfast meeting on tuesday morning. but he's coming under a huge amount of pressure domestically, both from the cap just families who desperately want to see more peopl

israel early this morning before these that nations and explosions took place so that the palestinian authority had failed to combat the fighters in janine. and that israel needed to escalate matters and take the situation to a different level, which is what we've been seeing over the last couple of weeks. the 46 sick and injured palestinians have been allowed to leave the gaza strip on tuesday. they will be receiving treatment abroad as part of a cease fire agreement. it's the 2nd day since that off crossing reopened officer. it was destroyed by miss. right. the offensive thought a couple assume reports from her off. this is the restaurant border crossing the lifeline for the people of cancer. for the 1st time since may i'm shannon says carrying dozens of patients. many with life threatening injuries have been cleared to cross one after another. the vehicles carrying wounded men, women, and children make the journey to egypt mocking desktops of the recovery. guns as healthcare system is badly functioning, its hospitals are overwhelmed operating at a fraction of that capacity. medical supplies

i'm the son who joins us live from my mind. sees that because these are the government and palestinian authority of band elders here from the forwarding inside as well. and in the occupied by spanking time. they may have heard them my interview with a janine resident, talking about people's thousands of people being displaced because homes of being destroyed. what it is, right? official saying about that as well. let's begin with when this rates started nearly 2 weeks ago, these really military had forcibly evacuated in displays thousands of palestinians . that number stands at around 15000 now. and they were actually told to get out from loud speakers on drones and on military vehicles. but a day later, these really governments spokesperson denied the saying that they did not tell anyone to leave when these really army was seen on the ground telling people to get out of their homes, or they would be killed. so in this area specifically, you're looking at a densely populated refugee camp where as your guest was saying, these are apartment buildings. these are not just single family home. so they

she's that because he's ready to go phone and palestinian authority of finds out 0 from reporting inside is ro and the occupied territories. so how does we sold that? and that report, all 3 campuses of back were united with the families, but still a bits of sweet moments and many that's right. sort of still is a better sweet moment for many families of these really captives. we're actually protesting tonight on the streets calling for benjamin netanyahu to go through with all 3 parts of this deal, not just phase one. now, negotiations for phase 2 are supposed to start in just a couple of days time. we're on day 14 of these deal and they're set to resume on day 16. but you have to remember that even with the release that has come from the release of these captive their family members, those have been released have said that it's not enough. in fact, tonight, there is one of those captives who's been released just in the last 2 weeks speaking saying that it's absolutely vital for these really government to continue on this path of the deal. even if it means ending the war. and look, there'

what time to salute has more from a man and she's dead because these really government and palestinian authority of bummed out as they are from reporting inside israel on the outside west side. these really military says it demolish 23 homes in the janine refugee camp, claiming that some of them were used as military command centers. but there was no evidence or prove given to backup that claim, similar to what we saw over the last 15 months during israel's war ongoing. so now the siege of janine has been going on for nearly 2 weeks and has displaced. $15000.00 palestinians is really forces had made them evacuate their homes by sending warnings on drones and on loud speakers from army vehicles, telling them to get out or that they would be killed. now right after those evaluations that happened, these really government denied any sort of measure, but palestinians say that they're still suffering across the occupied west bank because this rate is being felt all throughout the palestinian territory with several roadblocks and checkpoints that these rarely army has put up as part of its new offensi

i'm on and you're there because the is really government and palestinian authority have banned al jazeera from reporting inside israel and in the occupied westbank floor, where we're back to what we've heard before from the families of the captive. they do not trust their prime minister to prioritize the release of the captives and gaza. the well as he said, we've had this before. the theme purchased it on a weekly basis for around 15 months to try to put pressure on this. and you know, who's government to go ahead with this truth with this deal because they don't just want to see the 1st phase go through. we have 20 more captives expected to need. but they want to see this continue in to the 2nd phase where they're expecting to see dozen small captains being released from gaza. so they're essentially concerned but nothing yahoo might try to stop with the steel as he travels to the us. because it's under huge amounts of pressure from the phone right in his government. when i say follow, write a little bit, policies concerning palestinians have been in line with nothing. yahoo, so there's

did the son, who joins us live from my mind, says that because these writing governments in palestinian authority is banned out just here from reporting inside as well. and the occupied westbank. so i'm the how is ready, as always, is explaining such a wide scale attack on civilian homes. the whole thing is really army says that they're not civilian home saying that they didn't needed 23 homes that were used by palestinian fighters. they say they also found a military command center there, but it failed to provide any evidence. there are a lot of parallels here between what's going on in the occupied westbank and what we've seen happen in gauze over the last year and a half or so. so these really armies said that this rate is actually expanding. it's been nearly 2 weeks since the siege on jeanine had started 15000 palestinians . i've been forcibly displays forced to leave their homes at the command of these rarely army who told them they can either leave their homes or they could die there . and those messages were sent out on drones and on loudspeakers of is really army vehicles, but it's not ju

and that's because these ready to government as well as the palestinian authority of band of 0 from a 14 inside as well as well as the occupied territories. now home to seeing, all of those 3 cap says were united with the families, but still a better suite moment system. it is definitely a better sweet moment in israel sort of because while the family members of is really captives who are still held in guns are, are welcoming back those who are in israel as part of the steel. there's still a lot of pain because they're unsure about where the government stands on phases 2 and 3 of the steel, even the family members of those captives who have been released in the last 2 weeks. they say that while they are happy, they will be fully happy once all of the captives are back. so there's a lot of cautious optimism. it is real at this deal goes forward. but again, these really public is protesting tonight on the streets of tel aviv protesting against these really government calling on prime minister. and it's in yahoo to go through with this deal in all parts. and there's a lot of frustration

i'm on there because the is really government and the palestinian authority you have banned balance is 0 from reporting both inside israel and inside the occupied west bank. lord, let's start to take stock of, of what's happened today, and let's start to look ahead as well. so, today was the 4th day of release of captives on the one hand and palestinian prisoners, hilda is really jails. on the other hand is, is everything over for today that we were expecting to see. and can we consider relative to the terms of the ceasefire deal that it went well? this well, the scenes, but we still play out today from gaza. hun eunice got the city along the port was a 3 is ready captive ben, being released. and then in exchange for a 183 palestinian prisoners seems to have gone very smoothly. and it seems to have happened much earlier than all the already says without any snags. this is really important. the 3 is right is who are released and it was too much calm. it seems. and we'd seen on the 1st day, one of the big issues at the is re, these happens. but the, the full and the captives really from

joining us live from jordan's capital and she's there because these really government and the palestinian authority of vandal just data from reporting inside israel and in the occupied westbank. so home to the day began with a release that was really captives held and gaza. talk as to what's been happening over the last few hours. that's right, 3 is really captives release from gallons, a 3 civilian men and exchange. a 183 palestinian prisoners were freed from his rarely jails as part of the deal. now these 3 men, 2 of which were released in northern garza and one in the south in hon. eunice. but the most notable of them is 35 year old. yeah. then b bus whose family was taken captive on october. the 7th, 2023. now, within israel, there still great concern for his wife and 2 children, the youngest of which was 9 months old when he was taken captive. and benjamin netanyahu, as well as these really governments say that they are incredibly fearful for the fate of this family. but how much did give a list to mediators, which has been received by israel, of the 33 captives to be released in phase one of

us out, who joins us now from jordan's capital on mine because the is really government in palestinian authority. i have found out to 0 from reporting and israel and be occupied westbank and the terms of the deal. we saw the as really captives released from guys that we saw policy and prisoners released from the occupied west bank. the terms of the deal continue to be respected. so for the moment on the 4th day, this is holding correct. the best right were nearly 2 weeks into the ceasefire deal and this is the forest release of captives and exchange for palestinian prisoners. and look, there have been some hiccups along the way. israel has asked mediators for some conditions after the release on thursday, where there was some way of chaos in southern dogs after the release of is really captive orville your food in hong units. and it actually prompted as really prime minister benjamin netanyahu to hold off on releasing palestinian prisoners until those guarantees were given to him. and we saw that orchestrated today in an extremely calm manner in gaza. so hema says that they are willing and conti

the government time palestinian authority of bandages here from reporting inside as well. and in the occupied the west bank. so always ready officials to hear out wide 20 homes been destroyed in a single operation. well, these really military did release a statement saying that they raise 20 homes on the same residential block because they were being used for, quote, terrorist infrastructure that according to these really military. but they also released quite a lengthy document detailing what they've been doing during this offensive in jeanine. this is a large scale military operation that has been going on for nearly 2 weeks. the army says they've arrested nearly a 100 tele simians and killed dozens of others, but that's the route the occupied westbank as a whole. but when it comes to jeanine, you're looking at at least 15000 palestinians who've been forcibly displeased by this re, these really are me in previous weeks, has been telling palestinians to get out via drones, via loud speakers on his really army vehicles. they've been shooting indiscriminately in the streets

found by these riley is if you don't have a functioning unreal, you have a barely functioning palestinian authority. you have an economy that is racked, i mean, what does it leave foot for people living in the westbank come in that. how would they even get to get basic services? yes, i mean israel's law against the sooner i went into effect this week a few days ago and they were evacuated basically from their offices in jerusalem and their future is unclear. um, obviously the most urgent situation is the humanitarian and the services and the education that we provide. but i think what is really doing here. and again, it's very open and clear in terms of the color of the, the government's agenda. this is part of it's just destruction of the palestinian people and in doing what they're doing to under uh they're basically saying that there aren't post, i mean, refugees, this isn't something that we're ever going to deal with and it's a political issue. so this is part of israel's campaign and also to diminish or even collab supposed to need a tardy, even though the military realize very heavily on the

is covering this from amman, jordan and she is there a force because both is real and the palestinian authority of band house is 0. from reporting within israel and within the occupied westbank. laura for people who are just joining us now. what are we seeing? what do we watching right now? well, today we're seeing the release of a 183 palestinian prisoners. and the many of these that we see on the screen have come from of the present in the occupied westbank office will be released from southern israel, but they are essentially coming back to a hero's welcome. they would jump to in this area known as the junior, at which is a swapping ramallah. they were taken in the red cross vehicles over to the cultural center in ramallah, a big squad with it being free to just actually with the jubilant childs that coming home to a hero's welcome. many of them are even bringing chairs, so i can see to the boss in order to raise these people above the crowd, say want them to free. they want the wall to see these have a senior presence being released because this issue the, the issue of prisoners pretty stri

han is in jordan's capital a mine and you're there laura because these really government and palestinian authority of bandit with a 0 from reporting inside israel and inside the occupied westbank. where are we on the release of the policy and prisoners, we have seen the buses. we have seen some of them released to ramallah. we have seen many released in hon. eunice, have they all now been released? in other words, is the captives versus prisoner exchange complete for today of the well, i am still waiting to see those 7 deported. we haven't received any video. any pictures coming in. we are getting reports from is right, the media, but they have the release that, that this is complete. but we're just waiting to verify that those 7 happy to pull to that was office 32 from the occupied westbank 25 were on the bus into the west bank so they should have to be released with the rest of the prisons. i should be full, but presence by now, but we're just going to, so the verify that, but of course, we saw the scenes of jubilation and both the occupied westbank and because of strep, but i can just tell you

jordan, because these are the governments and the palestinian authority. a bond office there from a forcing from inside is read and the officers find west by nor understand that the 2 captives were feed earlier from han eunice have now arrived in his right the well. so we know, as far as we can said, that they are the 11th and 12th can be released office such as 3 set i'll set to be released as possible. the framework at the beginning of the steel. they have been taken away in red cross costs with a with met by the is ready only they are making their way to an area called rain, which is essentially on the outskirts of guns at that. as we've seen on a weekly basis. they will have these preliminary medical checkups just to ensure that they are well enough to then travel an after seen her week. haven't yet seen the helicopters. usually they all take an invite is right. the only had a cop to and that flowed into a medical center in tell it feeds. so they'll meet with their initial family members that close to family members in room. and then those meets with a

leadership, his presidential envoy steve whitkoff conducting efforts and he's met with the palestinian authoritiese kingdom of saudi arabia and met with the israeli hostage families and gave them a lot of hope and encouragement and all of these are very important steps in stabilizing the region. rachel: it's perfect and whitkoff doing amazing job and exactly what the president wants to do to stabilize and hopefully bring peace to the region. what do you think of the long term implications in the region and both sides seeing strength from donald trump and what does that mean for the prospect of peace, which we all want in the region and which america wants so they can focus more on domestic issues. >> what we know is trump and his team are out of the box thinkers and to that point, we've seen president trump say this week that he'd like israel's arab neighbors, egypt and jordan to do some digging and take refuge. my administration will work on this and it's the only population in the world where there's a war situation and people are kind of having a hard time with the idea of refugees. this is som

but we understand from palestinian authorities that some of them, some of these prisoners, have been transferred to hospitals in ramallah because of their health condition. and then the second major event, of course, the opening of the rafah crossing that so many have been waiting for for a very long time. the closure of the crossing after israeli forces took over that in may of 2024, has meant that that major lifeline for palestinian patients has been closed. there are 12 to 14,000, according to the united nations, who are in need of urgent medical treatment abroad that they cannot get in gaza. life saving treatment. and we are beginning to see this happen today with 50 patients, many of them children. victor. >> all right. i'll take it. thank you very much. joining us now is paul salem, vp of international engagement at the middle east institute. paul, good morning to you. as you've been hearing from our reporters, you know, we've been seeing these images of the hostages being released as part of the cease fire. we'll see palestinian prisoners being released as well. and of course,

palestinians more and i certainly learned that in terms of meeting with some of the i think the palestinian authority even has a minister for the prisoners and the us is certainly with the highest incarceration incarceration incarcerated a population has might learn something from palestinians on this point. but you know in south africa, mandela and others, the african national congress described, robben island as the university, that it was a place that folks whether they were there for a weeks or many, many years or decades. and so with that, i'd love for each of you to say, as you had these conversations, these five experts and also the experi ence you both bring in terms of years studying and meeting, engaging with folks, hamas and and broader issues that you've raised around resistance, liberation. what surprised you most? what like one thing that surprised you in the conversations that led into this book that you want to share with everybody and would folks to kind of. get the book right away and read it tonight. so first, rami, what surprised you. gosh that, that's a big question because i've

our hom is in jordan's capital of mine and she's there because these randy government time palestinian all authority have gone down to 0 from reporting inside israel and in the occupied westbank north. so as we heard the families of these rarely captors of worried that netanyahu may try to sabotage the c 5 d, and they, they've been urging president trump not to let them do this. well, absolutely. they actually held a couple of protests yesterday in tennessee on saturday evening. the same day the 3 is ready, captives were released. so they went to the intelligence to head, start the ministry of defense headquarters in tel aviv and also in what's become known as hostage square. and they're really trying to put pressure on nothing. yahoo and his government at the moment not discuss with a deal. you heard that from the families all the captives. no one's big concern. they have it's from nation yahoos. full right coalition, including president smudges, to finance minister, who's essentially saying that he doesn't want to save you some time to go through. he wants to go back to boil until they completely

surviving population of gaza, of this hideous war where more than 45,000 people, according to palestinian health authorities, were connected, of course, to the hamas, you know, leadership there. but the numbers are horrific, according to the un and human rights groups of their deaths. and, of course, the 1200 people that died in the massacre on october 7th and others who have died since and hostages who have died. but the situation now is a political situation, and netanyahu is getting his first meeting in the white house. he wanted one for four years. and president biden, because of political disagreements with netanyahu, with the expansion of settlements in the west bank taking land from palestinians and other policies did not grant him a meeting. they met, but they met at the un meetings in new york. and he didn't get the washington celebration, political celebration that he wanted and that he had had in previous administrations. so that is going to take place on tuesday. but president trump, as i was saying, said that these that three quarters of the gazan population, a million and a half people should

palestinians. the vehicle was moving outside of authorized areas, making it a suspicious target. several incidents like this have taken place since january 19. we are currently in the first phase after two-phase process. 18 hostages have been released, 60 more will remain in captivity for the moment. phase two will see the release of the remaining hostages. negotiations for the second phase are set to begin as soon as today. but there are an um in of issues that can derail further efforts to end this war. one of those factors is benjamin netanyahu, who will meet with president trump in d.c. tomorrow. netanyahu says his message to trump will focus on the return of all hostages and defeat of hamas. that point, the defeat of hamas, would appear to contradict the outline of the current cease-fire deal which calls for the removal of forces from gaza. netanyahu is under pressure from the israeli right to double down on that point, while the families of the remaining hostages are pushing for the current deal. >>> week three of the trump administration is beginning on the brink of a trad
