ten months after israeli forces stormed the rafah border crossing, it's reopened.a significant breakthrough at a critical yolande knell, bbc news, tel aviv. one of the hostages released on thursday. so, this is an unbelievable emotional day. i know keith all his life. who will always look on the humanity and the good she is an angel, and seeing keith go out today, i was so happy. it's an unbelievable weekend for me, seeing arbel coming the first day she feels joy and happiness since october 7th, seeing arbel going out, so it's unbelievable. the energy here is crazy. out, it's unbelievable. developments from tel aviv. i spoke to him earlier. clearly, the israelis and the mediators and of the scenes when released hostages were surrounded of the three hostages. of palestinian prisoners as well so i think both sides have learned from the mistakes of earlier days. process is holding for now. and we have also seen the rafah crossing partially reopen, so thejudgment is it has been a good day all around. it is. at the long—term solution for a permanent ceasefire. but as i

we're now seeing this rafah crossing, rafah crossing open. we've seen these four releases, but kim, we now have 13 of the hostages out. we're anticipating 33 according to what was agreed. the expectation is about 25 of those will come out alive. so we're going to have days when it's not live. hostages who are coming from gaza every day. there are tensions in terms of the implementation of this arrangement. but the really hard part, if we can get to the end of that first phase, is that the agreement talks about a permanent ceasefire and full withdrawal of the israeli forces from gaza. that's what the israeli prime minister committed to. however, the israeli prime minister has at the same time told us and told his coalition allies that israel will not leave the war will be continued. and those two things simply cannot coexist. and let's be really blunt, what we're seeing every day or every time there's a release in the different locations, and this is not coincidental whether the scenes are more orderly like today or more chaotic, like 48 hours

crossings. um, they've all been kept closed by the israelis, with the exception of rafah. um, at any point in the past 15 months, um, any of those crossings could have been opened by the israelis to allow for people to exit, uh, in gaza and be able to seek refuge or be able to receive medical treatment. um, on the contrary, what is being called for is for egypt to simply allow for, uh, displaced palestinians to go one way. okay. as in and the chief of staff in israel made this very clear that rafah is now open. but for palestinians to leave, they will not be allowed to come back. um, so you've seen also over the last week or so, the suggestion from dc that egypt and jordan should take, um, you know, the vast majority of palestinians, um, from gaza, possibly temporarily, possibly permanently. um, so a call for ethnic cleansing by any other name. um, and i think this is very important as we, as we look into how gaza works out over the coming weeks, particularly with the negotiations over phase two. um, what is to become of the palestinians of gaza, um, when we don't even have

and of course, as you mentioned earlier, the reopening of the rafah crossing. isabel, this is a very, very important moment for uh, so many palestinians who are in desperate need of medical treatment abroad. i mean, we were just hearing that children are in one of the hospitals in the south of gaza, just waiting today for that border to open for their medical evacuations to begin. and of course, that all hinges on the handover of the hostages. they are released today going smoothly. no repeat of what was seen. a couple of days ago with those shocking and chaotic scenes. >> jomana karadsheh, thank you so much for explaining that to us and so well said. let's go live now to mehdi hasan out of tel aviv, israel. she's a senior fellow of the international institute for counter-terrorism and retired from the israel defense forces. miri, thank you so much for joining us. um, you know, what a stark difference, because we saw those chaotic scenes surrounding the release of israeli hostages in gaza last week. that, of course, triggered condemnation from israel and a dela

last week, the rafah border crossing between gaza and egypt reopened. this is the first time in eight months since israel seized it that anyone the children, the elderly, the sick, the wounded have been allowed to go through that rafah crossing. and so far, the world health organization says it has supported the medical evacuation of 178 patients. 115 of them are children, 233 were companions. traveling with those patients. let's just do the math on this. 178 is a lot better than zero, but it's a tiny fraction of the i don't know how many 2500 more sick or wounded children that the un says are at risk of dying if gaza is not allowed to evacuate. if the sick people in gaza are not about to evacuate. i want to be just careful about the language that i use on this, because there's been a proposal put forward by the president of the united states that all of gaza get evacuated of everybody. that's a whole different political story. that's not what we're talking about here. we're talking about evacuation, evacuating sick people and sick children who are at i

there's the crossing in rafah into egypt.somebody from gaza wants to leave, and there is a country in the world that wants to take them in, let them have that opportunity to seek a better future, right? it will take years for gaza to be rebuilt. it will take years for hamas to be really replaced with a new governing entity. let's enable. and maybe this is what they're talking about, the people of gaza to seek a better future somewhere else. now, does that mean coerced or voluntary? we'll have to wait and see. >> yeah. in the midst of this, we were just showing pictures there of the helicopters at reem military base that will take those three hostages to hospitals in and around tel aviv and so many in israel and beyond, thinking of the welfare of those three hostages now free on israeli soil. yaakov katz, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you well, a controversial member of elon musk's new government task force is back in action after stepping away over controversial old social media posts that led to the man's reinst

we understand some of those families are already waiting at the rafah border crossing at the european hospital. that's where these palestinians who have been held are expected to first arrive for treatment and assessment before being released into gaza. you also have more than 45 who are going to be released into the occupied west bank, and then seven who are going to be expelled to egypt. and when you break down the details of this, you begin to understand just how complicated these logistics all are. so all of these steps still need to take place before we get to that palestinian prisoner release. if it happens on time. for now, of course, i see those live images in front of ofer prison in the west bank. for now, the red cross vehicles and the red cross workers will be preparing for those steps to take place. now. in the past, israel has not allowed families to gather outside this prison in the west bank for security reasons, it says. but that has happened regardless. and these releases have in the past included minors, included mothers who were arrested while they were breastfeedin

in fact, their families, some of their families are already waiting at the rafah border crossing. they're waiting at the european hospital where these prisoners are expected again to be brought to that prison, to be brought to that hospital for medical treatment and assessment before being sent with their families home. so there is this opportunity here that everyone understands for people, palestinians, to come back home. and about 111 of those who will be returned to gaza, 111 of them were detained after october 7th. so they're returning to a very different reality in the enclave. and it's not just people who are witnessing this exchange. you have to remember there is palestinian journalists on the ground. these are journalists that have absolutely been under fire during the length of this conflict. so they continue to cover this crisis and are for many, the only eyes and ears on the ground during this conflict. so we'll begin to see how this plays out. once these hostages are released. and on the israeli side, in the past, of course, in the last release, rather because of those

obviously a lot of people upset with egypt with respect to the how they let refugees cross rafah or thecked off a bit. i certainly don't think it's something that we should ever have boots on the ground and we should take over that type of territory. and i would say that, you know, a few years back jared kushner hinted to this type of idea that oh my god what a great, you know, sea port this would be. >> bret: piece of property. yeah, that's right. kimberley, meantime the fire hose as i talked with brit hume continues to flow of stuff that is happening. executive orders, executive actions. and today the president signing this order about men in women's sports. take a listen. putting every school the on notice if you let men on women's sports teams or in the locker room be in risk of losing federal funding there will be no federal funding.
