Honey, can you tell us a little bit about about what used to and how there was a 930. Can you repeat that . I couldnt hear it over the noise. No worries. I can hear that drone above here honey.

You cant do that so dense. The streets are full of people and also the Residential Home are packed with people who evacuated from it from the city of bit time on the city of bates. Wow. Yeah. So there are more, more reports about a large number of people being killed and those error strikes. And according to a statement by the ministry of health, the number of casualties has reached to 18000 pushing hospitals and to the brink of collapse. As this is the, on the capabilities of hospitals to accommodate and to deal with. We know that hospitals on tests, brittany also in need of supplies. Honey, 50 for a trucks have made us in so far. How is distribution of on a going and are we expecting any more today as well so far the mechanism is so unclear of how the delivery process is going to happen. But what we know so far, these trucks made it to the palestinian side. They are in 2 major locations, the logistics phase of the United Nations in the city, or run by a warehouse and operate in a managed by the United Nations. And theres another one in the city of there is, but we know there are preconditions made by the government. Oh, were on how these you minute 3 and a is are going to be delivered. But priorities are for schools accommodate. Thing exactly is and hospitals. People are expecting and hoping that this is going to happen soon, particularly hospital. That this part time honey, ive always said that there was about live report on the ground for us in congress in the goals district. Thank you so much on on monday evening. The customer day is released to elderly, kept as saying it was humanitarian reasons. The release of these 2 is really captive followed mediation efforts from cats on egypt. So carlos has more now from occupies tourism. Its the moment that families has been waiting for. How much does release of 2 elderly women held captive for move in 2 weeks, but husbands, the remain behind in garza is radio strikes is killing thousands of people every day. And i know were very emotional and happy that my grandmother. You also did live shits a newer at cooper. Both from the keep boots near owes is coming back to us in a real humanitarian move. Were expecting the rest to be released all hostages from the keyboards, all hostages, and generally of how most maintains its treating its civilian captives like guests and is willing to release them without conditions, but says is ro hasnt so accepted. We have the chance the on friday that we would, if you to release all to, to do the another to is it is the woman at that time the americans, the x to the, to the, to have to, to those, to them and back. But thats what it is to that 5 minutes the that to now way to ship to that, israels Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. They rejected this claim by saying the army and Security Forces have been active for days in guessing the tops is released earlier this week. And said that would be no negotiations with hama cuts, all interests and us have been working together as mediators behind the scenes, and then shortly off to the ground them others. And since egypt through the rough crossing from garza and sentences riley strikes, resumed the heavy booming of gauze or from the houses stop since october 7 and promises of Ground Invasion hasnt materialized yet, has left many is really searching for answers from the government. And questioning whether the 210. 00 captives will ever make you tell us of goals the lines. The arrival of the grandmothers in his room is likely to give desperate families hoped to be re united again, with their loved ones and in gaza. People hope for a rest buy from walters, the wes foaming. They have ever seen sort of height at all. Just sarah occupied east jerusalem. While thats being talked, corresponded to alan fisher. He joins us now from occupied a story. Some of these 2 captives, really splost knives fit, still moving 200. So and last custody. What does that means . The israel is pushed for a ground defensive. Well certainly put pressure on these relays. We know that the United States and others have been saying, look, please, to leave the ground war until we can do more. As far as negotiations are concerned, to see if we can get the hostages out of the 2 americans were freed on friday. The 2 is really that were afraid just last night, that builds up a bit of momentum and gave us those who are seeing delayed the grind war a bit more power in their arguments. Theres also the question to the is really army has said in the last out or so its ready to go. Its just waiting for words from these really Prime Minister. And of course the reports yesterday that there was really Prime Minister and the defense minister in the head of these really army are all slightly, or its about what happens next. But they were forced to put out a statement, say no, that will unified, theyre all together that will working at to the same goal. But we know that the americans would be relatively keen on the delay because they also want to get military assets into the region. They want to make sure that everyones in place because the consent that if israel does begin a growing war and gaza, there could be trouble elsewhere. And i say french president , a manual background is in town and tennessee this morning. Hes the basest western needed to visit the region. I know hes expressed his full support of his around, but i understand youll also be meeting with the palestinian president today in that site i, my phone has, has been talked about coming for a number of days. But hes here, no, you said he would only come if he could be useful. So he didnt want this just to be a shake. Hands with the is really talk to the palestinians and leave. He wants to present concrete proposals. Now, according to the French Foreign minister, what the french president is bringing is applied to prevent escalation to free hostages, to guarantee the security of israel. And also to work towards a 2 state solution. And they say hes making these proposals as operations as possible, whether or not hell be successful. Thats all up in the air because obviously the situation is very dynamic. But hes lost a lot of the cash she that the franchise with the out of community for a number of reasons. First of all, he signed onto the statement with 5 other World Leaders the other day, which didnt call for the humanitarian see spot. And it, even though the french premier has asked for that. And also youll remember that it was macro is government who and always a blanket ban on any pro palestinian protests in front me, which was eventually defeated by the the courts. The front has been traditionally seen as an outline of the out of community in the middle east that going back to shelves to go check sheet rock was a big supporter as well. They dont quite have that talk. She knows. So if hes got a plan to sell, hes got a big jump to do to sales to these really is to make sure theres no escalation. And hes got a big plant to sell it a big job to sell it to the palestinians, as well as friends speaking on his broker and fish in there with the license for us from occupied a story soon. Thank you so much on her loss is promising to retaliate against israels unrelenting strikes on the cause of stress on the rapidly following palestinian desktop. As ministry rang, the cast number gave it says its sent and runs deep into israel for the 1st time. Meanwhile the mirror is kept on says that israel should not be given a green light, unconditional killing in gaza, shake to me and then a lot off on he says the fighting between israel and last was a dangerous escalation that threatened both the region and the Wild National co look of a, as we say enough is, is real, should not be given an unconditional green light for killing. And we cannot ignore the occupation and the siege. We cannot accept in this day and age to allow using water, food and medicine to be used as a weapon against an entire people die no more. Not jimmy, and i know doctor said were callers of peace and we adhere to the International Resolutions and the era piece initiative. We reject the killing of all civilians from any side, but we do not accept the double standards and to act as if the laws of palestinian children did not count or matter what is happening is very dangerous and it violates all laws and religions. What . Well, thats not bringing up the al area and he is an associate professor as an at least history at georgetown. You investigate and kata im to let me start by asking you what youve made or regional responses to those contracts or phone. Well, for the thinking about the states themselves, i think theyre the responses and largely unit, particularly among states that have already essentially made their peace or, or at least normalize their relations with israel. Over the last few years. Well see it very much in their kind of narrow interest states to maintain that relationship. This obviously provides uh, you know, this, this ongoing crisis provides a very much a challenge to the decisions that theyve made. And certainly then to their credibility and their legitimacy in the eyes of their populations of were actually looking on the popular level. However, i think weve seen nothing more than a massive support for palestinians among populations every friday. Of course weve seen the massive demonstrations in the hundreds of thousands across different aero capital also. So i think theres no more stark representation of the disparity between leaders on the one hand. And then of course the populations on the other. Do you think what were seeing in terms of a popular sense and it might change some of the more formal stances of, of the states that were talking about . Well, certainly its been tempered in the language. So we have seen at least the vocal condemnations of, of the mass atrocities that are being committed by israel in this moment. And so certainly the leaders are, are fine to echo the sentiments. I think there was certainly a lot of pressure not to be seen side by side with an american president who clearly has given a blank check to israels terms of, of its conduct right now. And so those meetings have been cancelled in part due to that kind of public pressure. And the, the idea that they dont want those appearances, i think in terms of actual policies, or weve got to see real measures or real steps taken to actually say we need to see a ceasefire immediately. This clearly is impacting relations between the us and, and some of these regional partners that they have. Well, i wanted to ask you where were at now with diplomacy. We know, for instance, caught, saw and an egypt to has been very instrumental and, and trying to negotiate the release of some of these captives. Weve now seen 4 of them released is that creating any kind of a space . Then since a dialogue about a foundation, monetary and pause, well, we havent really seen any evidence of that because we, everything weve seen, especially, you know, if we take the United Nations Security Council as a case in point to the idea that the veto powers still very much in effect, to circumvent any idea of a humanitarian sees fire. Theres actually been more of an escalation in the bombing in terms of what weve seen in terms of the horrific tragedies of, of the mass, deaths of the last couple of days over 600 people report is in the last 48 hours, many of those of course being children, were seeing far more reports of people trapped under the rubble that are not even being accounted for. And many of these casualty figures. And so in some sense, israels actions have only been escalated in part and bold and by the lack of action on the part of all of these Different International actors. And so the release of, of hostages certainly is, is only one component of a much broader humanitarian tragedy that continues to unfold uh very much without any kind of a let up on the part of the us and its allies. Pressuring is real. You mentioned that youre on a Security Council on the level of an action that we do expect us resolution potentially to be presented today. Do you see any kind of movement that going for any kind of unity possibly amongst members . Thats unlikely, i think, given the kinds of language of the United States or use the lack of idea of any kind of condemnation of israels actions. The escalations to the mass killings as weve side in terms of the bombings that to thousands upon thousands of, of homes and residences, and schools and, and hospitals that are being targeted regularly. Theres been 0 indication that the us has any intention of actually condemning any of these actions, let alone calling for an end to them. And so anything that we see coming out of the us right now certainly is not being seen as credible on the part of, of many of the regional states here. And particularly among the palestinians on the line. I want to ask you about something, what time your test this morning and im curious about, theres been a lot of talk about a 2 state solution. We had it from my, from heres and television. Today. We had it last night from the british Prime Minister registering on when he was speaking to a British Parliament saying that he wanted renewed creativity around. That is this conflict potentially im looking on the right side here. Im creating any kind of a space for a renewed engagement with a piece person. I mean with this is, this is the song weve been hearing for 30 years, and in that time all weve seen is increased land soft and confiscation of more and more of policy and territory. We havent seen any indication that theres any intention on the part of israel to even negotiate along those lines. And certainly the credibility among the palestinian leadership, which has more or less fallen in line with the demands of israel demands that come with international aid. And so i dont see any hope for that. And in fact, i see quite the opposite of what were seeing. Certainly right now is an operation of ethnic cleansing, of the expulsion of more powerful. Im sorry, i dont, i dont mean to interrupt you, but i do want to take us to some breaking news. We are now listening in to a press conference thats taking place in west story. So im not long as you know has been visiting, is around today. Lets this when strong nation and we have committed to overcome and we are committed to and this drawing our enemies. The situation though is extremely complicated and franchise. On the one hand, went on demanding the full and Immediate Release of all of our citizens or ducted and hijacked. And then they made it release as we have a saying, clear crimes against humanity was saying, the suffering of young and old 30 children is the president 30 children are out there kidnapped by how much terrorist theyll come around and carried out one of the worst atrocities in modern times, and i know ive heard your expressions, weve spoken quite often in the last 2 weeks. I know how much you care for our nation and your visit. There is a clear expression of solidarity. I know you met the families of the, of the, of the hijacked and kidnapped people eh, and i know that youre sharing with me the same feeling that theres no difference, not all. And i said it to the families themselves. Between me and these rarely citizen or any one holds another citizenship. Balance to is rarely citizens and say, and citizenship. At the end. All is rileys on one saw joe citizen and the n 4 national. Theyre all one and for us we want them back immediately. We are following very closely. The situation in the bottom i think has biased language file. Well heres the scenario. Ran into is there a new president. Isaac had sawgrass, was making some comments sitting alongside the french president s a manual background who is visiting israel today. We do expect him also to be meeting with the palestinian president of boss in ramallah later today that would make him are and the 2nd western leader to do so on the ground that in ramallah will be following that closely for you here on al jazeera, as well as well, some baldwins has completely destroyed and time neighborhoods and gaza. One of those areas is as offer, which has 20 to residential blocks, kind of thing in just more times as long as that has documented the destruction. I want to show you with the scenes head. Im in the middle of out. So how about neighborhoods in central garza which was bummed by his radio strikes like any . I think tammy, but most of had the entire area is level including all residential buildings and entire families were displaced and there were many human casualties as well. Oh my god, montgomery say i thought we had that. Ive been what kind of been in the bushes. I dont know where the people who go on because there was a shelter for that peach residential building had about 60 families. Well, china has called for an International Conference to discuss the role and garza, the foreign minister has spoken with 1st ministers, Foreign Ministers of palestine. And israel long, you says that china is worried by the escalation. Im just calling for a 2 state solution to, to this crisis. Well, for more or less, lets speak streaming. You envisioning. Katrina is ive just been saying one youve been on the phone to the farm instead of both sides. What are they hoping to achieve . Well weve seen this positive aging looking to play more of a role as an international mediation. Thats what, pardon me, is the one you seems to be doing here. Its both sides for an immediate de escalation. China is very worried that this was going to spill out into a way to conflict. So on monday he made 2 separate phone calls to the problem. Is that the policy authority and israels carmens desk . Now speaking to re add on the leaky, he said that the agent deeply sympathizes with the difficulties of the palestinian peoples has condemned attacks on civilians. He said that china is going to continue to provide for monetary and age and he says, what palestine needs now is security, food and medicine, and not new weapons and ammunition. Now in a separate phone call to is rarely for mr. Ely co. And he said that, well, every country has the white self defense, church, israel, to do what it can to protect civilians. He says it tells me it has a choice between rule and keys, and its imperative that it must do everything. It tends prevent the situation spirally, when even the mediterranean catastrophe. Now these 2 phone calls of the highest level of communication that of aging has, has of i, the government seems to be down. Katrina, im curious. Do you sense a different approach to this conflict from developed and developing countries like russia and china versus naval west . Well, china, since theres conflict began as quote for an immediate de escalation and ceasefire. Unlike the us and many of its allies that have cooled from us and condemn them as terrors paging has refused to do so, which has drawn much criticism from washington and other western nations at the un. The result that chinese representatives had more direct was its set. Israel is needs to stop what it said is a collective punishment of the people of gauze us. And so like some of the other nations weve heard today, aging says the only tons of alone, 10 a piece in the region is the establishment of the 2 state solution. And aging has blamed the breaking out of this conflict on the centrally the International Community shelving the rights and interest because the deepest, the decades katrina area that with the latest view for us from beijing. Thank you. Katrina, attendants to get competing resolutions on this conflict through the un Security Council has expired, has some pushing deep plastic phone lines. Now the us has finalized its version with some t changes, capitalize on their has worn out from you. There are 2 new points to this us resolution that will go to the security counts. So i want to point them out. Number one is it calls for all measures necessary, such as a humanitarian pause, to allow for full and rapid safe humanitarian access. In accordance with International Law keep raise their humanitarian pause. Previously the us had not agreed to that. In fact, the us vetoed a brazil resolution that called for humanitarian pause. Just last week. Also in the new version and final version of the us draft. It says any movement of people must be voluntary, this is new as well. And this goes to the fact that israel had really demanded the people in the north of guys move to the south. And this new version of the us draft or the us final version here. Its saying any movement of people must be voluntary. Now there was supposed to be a vote on this resolution early tuesday, but that has been postponed to either late tuesday or perhaps even wednesday or thursday. The reason were thinking is because anthony blink and the secretary of state is planning to be at the un tuesday. And its perhaps because he wants more time to try to convince other Member States to support the us resolution gabriels on to how does it in new york . Well, theres been another light of arrests and is there any way its across the occupied westbank . We cannot speak to our correspond i need to abraham, she joins us from ramallah need. I understand theres also been a death of a prisoner and has rarely custody what. What do we know about what happens . A well according to his lawyer, he spoke to him Via Video Conference yesterday, and he asked him how his health was. And he said he was fine. A few hours later he was declared dead, and people here believes that israel is intensifying, is crack down on the prisoners leading to the death of the prison there who has been in this really jail since the 9th of october. You can imagine how that news is making posting and see if see us specifically people here behind me who have families that, that are in is waning at jail. You have lives of prisoners, mothers of prisoners, that joining in a gathering that is usually helps here on a weekly basis. Its supposed to start in an hour from now theyre putting pictures of their loved ones. This is the wife of the prison there who has been spending a total of 44 years in prison consisted of this prison there in his waiting jails. And in terms of how many years he spent in do so, you can imagine how those people are feeling specifically that were talking about the lawyers or not able to reach their uh, the people they to present. Were talking about also human rights in spoken. These ations including is waiting and what is were unable to get the details of whats happening with those prisoners. So what happens is when one prisoner is released, the founders here, all sorts calling were you in that prison. Where are you in this prison . Did you see my son . How is he doing . Weve been hearing difficult stories from some of the families of prisoners, someone. His niece is sorry, his nephew has been in jail for the past 2 weeks. He says he has cancer. He doesnt know how hes going to be dealing with his a sickness. Hes been asking people who left prison. They say hes in a lawyer position. He comes here. So thats across to ask about him. But unfortunately, there was little these organizations can give the families to calm them down. So theres a lot of tension. And all of the fears here about the faith of those prisoners is when jim mean even him. The with that report for us from the ground them. And while i think you need to the, well, thats now turn our attention to some of the day is all the news around the wild. And the International Energy agency has wanted governance that Stronger Energy policy is all needed to limit rising global temperatures. And its annual report. The i a says that average temperatures could rise by around 2. 4 degrees celsius. This century as well above the 1. 5 degree of threshold sessions of the 2015 power as tracy on Climate Change. Not warning comments of just weeks ahead of the cop 28. So messenger by criminal groups and brazil has their own set. Unprecedented attack on religion, arrows, public transport system, assessing thousands of vehicles on file, at least 75. 00 buses full or is on the train or assessing blaze. He attacks the reports of the retaliation for the killing of a crime loss and a police operation. State governor Claudio Castro has vowed to strike back against organized crime.

Hi, im una senior. Im still in gaza sitting with my family yesterday regarding lots of were new calls and a lot of the flats like these. The trade trusts on us in our neighborhood and our street here and uh, they basically say that being in gaza or remaining, you guys, a city of our lives, the dangers taking you to are in the streets of guns, which is very close to by street here. In my neighborhood and everything looks so and she could barely see people in the streets. This area used to be a very densely populated area. I believe this is your house. Just opposite to the full board meant that we can see in advance of plus the Police Officer and the last, why did you decide to come back after you went south . Ever been . Is a little bit to the site to boat. No house. It doesnt matter what it is for now, this is the bakery line to actually be able to vice bread. This has been sadly housed thing is displayed just full of trouble. Free can literally just cherry street. The city is really worth the everyone says, well, ill be back here here off the counter, the cost im, its the world slow down. We stand for as homes with tips of global nichols reserves.

We definitely manage our abundant resources and play a role in solar Energy Harness the offerings, 75 percent of Global Carbon credits, essential, committed to being fine, mental protection, enhancing investments, alignment digital licensing, your better tomorrow. The hello i, my names Side Business counting the cost on al jazeera, your weekly look at the well, the business economics this week, palestinians trapped in garza, please, the much needed relief deal was weeks to allow 8 in to be in place. But is it enough to have the 2 monetary and catastrophes . I will say this with people in gaza, a running out of everything that you know has nations is appealing from millions of dollars in an assistant. Lots cons that has been on the blockade. Some of the 16 years we look at how the restrictions on the flow of goods and people have destroyed long distance. The gauntlet is being strangled and it seems the wealth has lost its humanity. Those all the words, if the un agency for Palestinian Refugees as it was of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Thousands of people have been killed since as well launched. It submitted 3 offensive against thomas and imposed a total siege on the already located enclave residence trapped in gauze, i have no access to food, water, electricity, or even fuel hospitals on a breaking point boat as a closed. So there is no escape. I know it is safe, even hospitals all being boomed. Us President Joe Biden says israel has now agreed to allow humanitarian assistance to begin flowing into gaza while egypt has agreed to open, the rough up voted, crossing to allow in trunks. The European Union is launching an average, has tripled its assistance to the territory. United nations has appealed for 294000000 dollars to address the most just needs for the people in golf. So as well, the rasa. Crossing out the border between the southern parts of gauze and egypt is the remaining lifeline to the outside world. But the flow of vehicles and goods through it has been tightly controlled since israel imposed a blockade in 2007 supplies. Coming into garza through ross that require is rarely approval. Operations have been disrupted since israel launched its ministry offensive. Now more than 2 weeks ago, the crossing was severely damaged by is ready strikes and needs to be repaired before supplies can even be delivered. Hundreds of tons of aid from several countries piled up near the roof of crossing before the due to allowing assistance with reach, cut them up with the alarm crossing, which is the sole passage for trucks carrying goods, fuel and a into gaza is closed. To discuss all this, im joined now by somebody did some as the regional head of advocacy, media and communications at the norwegian refugee council. Thank you for your time, sir. It does now seem we have the steel according to the us to allow in 20 trunks of humanitarian aid into gaza through the roof of crossing. It doesnt sound like a whole lot how far is it going to go . As the us announcement to allow 20 trucks initially into the crossing to reach gaza is not enough to do with the growing daily needs. Emerging from the is really bombardment and siege on godsa the you and estimates that we need at least 100 trucks a trucks to enter goals and daily to meet the growing humanitarian needs. And we need guarantees as 8 workers as well that the 8 workers distributing 8 will be provided with safety and those people receiving aid will also be protected from violence. So we need to see an urgent scale up of the aid supplies going in to gaza. Immediately. All crossings need to be opened and no restrictions should be placed on the amount of 8 going in, right. Even if you get what you want in terms of the aid and the safety aspect, what about the infrastructure that has already been damaged so badly, including the crossing itself . How logistically are you able to get the a through to the people that need it . Well, the destruction of the crossing in particular needs to be repaired. We are hearing that there are reports that there are steps being taken to do this. The, the, the most Important Message here is that the aide supplies going in should not be restricted on 20 trucks. Initially is simply not enough to deal with the scale of the needs on the ground in gaza. Theres also been no mention of of people leaving garza through the rough crossing. How important is it . At least the very least for people who have medical needs to be allowed to go out. Its absolutely vital that people who have been injured severely injured and wounded during this phone, boardman are allowed to cross into egypt to per gets the medical attention they require. So were really urging all parties to prioritize medical evacuations for people to receive that treatment, but they must also be guarantees that people are allowed to return and re be re petri a said into garza as well. Well that, that is the risk that many people say that they wont be allowed back in, which is why they dont want them to leave in the 1st place. Well exactly, there are concerns that if people do lead the safe passage of civilians is granted that they wont be allowed back into garza. So alcohol is not a civilian, should be able to leave based on consent, but also based on guarantees that theyd be able to return back into gaza. But the time is running out right now to protect people from violence and the environment is so intense that its leading to a rolling to monetary and catastrophe. Were struggling to keep up with the needs that a converging on the ground. Fuel is running out. Water is running out, electricity is caught, the services in garza has collapsed. And so thats why its crucial for us to prioritize the o crossings. Remain open and there are no restrictions to aid supplies going into gaza right now to really need the daily humanitarian needs. Some of these i really appreciate you talking to us some of the regional head of advocacy media and communications at the norwegian refugee council. Thank you. Are now in response to attacks by hum us on israel nations including denmark, suite in germany, and austria have suspended Development Aid programs to the palestinian territories. That includes funding for you and organizations, the Palestinian Authority in the west bank and civil Civil Society groups. Thomas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States on the European Union, and during the se, they fear that the group could seize or benefit from that aid. Well, joining me now from brussels is mountain connection a. Hes the direct to the european middle east project money. Thanks for your time. What do you make of the response i followed to these you monetary and crisis unfolding and gaza as well. It has been initially driven primarily by the outrage and shop about the, the effects of the harvest. I can fax by a mouse which is understandable. And this has also led to calls into some countries and you know, parts of new york environmental. So for suspending, you a to the, to the palestinians. The problem with that is that this, this, the very understandable an entirely legitimate outrage about what we have seen is not coupled with the same kind of outrage and sympathy for the suffering of the palestinians over the many years under the blockade of gauze and the other problem is that uh, suspending aid is actually punishing the whole population at this moment when the assistance will be most needed. And certainly it is actually conduct productive to the use gold because the systems hasnt been supporting a mouse. But on the contrary, its arrival. Palestinian also rate the based in, in the west bank. So it doesnt make sense originally from the, from these points of view. Yeah, lets talk a bit more about these a programs and what theyre in adolph because as you say, jeremy denmark suite and just to name a few of temporarily suspended that development a programs to gone to in the last week or so. What, what do these a programs do . What if theyve been doing historically and what happens when you suddenly switch them off . Yeah, so these a programs support the various projects on the ground, both in the west bank and gaza. Its, you know, environmental projects infrastructure such as the so in nation plans, Water Treatment plans, it supports the Civil Servants of the past, the minimal, sorry, the, the teachers and doctor, the specially, it also provides cash benefits to the poorest posting in families. It supports and g os, it supports the project supporting womens rights, and central, etc, is very broad. And so switching off this vital support right at this moment when we know what guys that is going through is a, is really quite a drastic response. Now again, the you has moved down this a search for Member States of the you, which you mentioned have temporarily suspended it. They want to review the aid and re re started afterwards. But still it is a very, very problematic response, which i think it reflects the wider political response to, to the crisis that we have seen in europe with some politicians and Member States completely taking the side of israel. And again, being kind of blind for the palestinian, the suffering from which actually this crisis has, uh, has been generated up all concerns over a ending up and how much is hands valid . So the, the assistance of the europeans has been actually subjected to greater scripting. Then i think anywhere else a all physical aid that goes to gaza in terms of, you know, i was talking about plans for wasteWater Treatment and so long is actually going there with the approval of israel. And were very close moines. Are in very extreme, actually by International Standards mines or things of every piece of material that goes into the gaza. All the funding from the you to individuals like Civil Servants, hosting, and Civil Servants. Its actually based on lists which are screened, invented against the International Section lists. So there is actually greater control then, then is the usual standard. There have always been a lot of, you know, suspicions from certain quarters of the you politics about these programs. So there has always been greater attention and love questions about this. And people have been looking into it and reviewing and monitoring this a very closely. But there is no evidence. And you know, these reviews havent shown any evidence of a misuse or diversion of these funds. Unfortunately out of time, martin by really appreciate you speaking to us and sharing your thoughts, mountain connectivity direct to the european middle east project. A nice role has ordered more than a 1000000 people to leave the northern parts of gauze that is putting pressure on egypt to allow them to cross into the sinai. Egypt president says he wont allow refugees from gauntlet into his country. A defacto cc says that would make the peninsula a target for israel. Well, our countrys and the people have gone to a worry that palestinians leave israel may never allow them to return to any me now from ramallah as mazda and sent across. Hes a form, a palestinian administer of economy and tarney, the chief executive officer at single court holding. Thank you for joining us that i wanted to start by asking you your reaction to this recent agreement to allow in 20 a truck through the roof across the well, i think this is, this is a very small in the start of the doesnt did either going to have an impact on the social life of the 2300000 palestinians living under the severe closure and been brought up on databases and implemented is oper, bundling, so 20 bucks the only allowing your fluid and medicine and no fuel. The fuel is amelia committee for the hospital to operate the in addition to that uh, talking about 20 bucks. Definitely. This is what im not really do any, any social impact for the, for the seniors. And that would be also targeted only for the, for the southern part of goods. And then for the whole, i guess those to submit a shift for that to the american administration, has to be headed in bold and try to convince as there it is for the last to 4 or 5 days of getting, get out with this very primitive shame for a result, well just to add to your point about fuel, that was israel, who has refused the fuel to be included in this aid on void. Because they say how much will then intercept the fuel and use it for their own reasons of is that a reason that you would be sympathetic with is as well as concerns . You know, of course not, of course, not to. I mean, the field has been, or was it coming from this very side that is being generated with the assistance, especially if you would, for the rest of the company and also for the use of people to move around. So i think and the 4 of us, but the store, but its a now the need for a fuel is not listed on the need for the blacks and, and also for and so i believe the fuel is a fight importance for to florida at least to to bring the, i need the, the system for us because nobodys in these kind of the circumstances. You know, that the thousands of casualties every day under this, of the people every day. So without having the, the, the, the buffer functioning photos. But that does not mean that goes, that would die. Graduating to think of egypt is a right to be cautious and lessing. Refugees from gaza into as well. I think is a, i mean this is not distribution, but its dean and its helpful for suffer from uh, the, the next by looking for the 8th and the stuff for that also from the, the 6 to 7. And thats, i dont see that. But the seeing is the, i have the, you know, the, the, the advertise believe the of holding us anymore because they have seen whats happened to the, for the scene is since the next button might be 48. Those who are living and live on on syria and i can, thats what i dont do well. So i think enough is enough. This, it from one have the agent to have the, the, the photo. Right . So its not accepting, but the students who come in to be pushed by the forces to, to, to the very 3 to these guys. A no agent kind of the enough, but out of but if it is from should not from the vienna from, from, from city and thats where it and the thing they have not this stuff. 10000000 people. So i, i get a 100 percent of what cc have said to the, to the general counsel and their best confidence. Okay. Math and stay with me because i want to get some context to this will between israel and gaza. Its, its worth taking a look back into history because so i think security reasons is rel, imposed a permanent blockade on golf. And since how much to control of this trip in 2007 and that located restricted who could access the tower street and made it difficult for palestinians to work in israel. And as a result in cause a has one of the highest unemployment rates and the wells at 46 percent. Lets come back to you mazda and how have palestinians managed to make a living in garza since the blockade. You dont have to be the mind. You and the mind, the people who are watching guess actually that the, the located the have stopped it up to the unit to the left. Thats the, it goes up to a, these ladies in september of 2005. I was part of the government, the in the government at that time they did not go to the scene of the, the bite, anything they just done. I know there was little from does that in september 2005. I must have over after the, you know, they just elections in the is this stuff concept. Im the, im the, thats the 2007. So after, as lady have designated have lived together, this thought did the complete sage on it by and see, and this is the fact i was part of the government at that time. And they have what this, everything in my own eyes, economically, and also socially. And daughter is money and exports on that person to get the flow of what goes everything up, stop after they have that, because then september 2005. So how do they survive if you have no income, how do you live a look . I mean, the scene is always unfortunately they have own was find a way and mean stewart to, to, to live and let live in a way. So the vision for survivor, that was always the theory for co existence. What ive been seeing is that on, on this, it was that easy. It was extremely difficult as, as we would upset 45 percent of, of, uh, people who are not working 50 percent of the 45. 00 out of university graduates, the 80 percent of the cost of the poverty line for the last 18 years. Also, in addition to that, you know, if you look at the income that covers them between the us bank and it goes up because its 50 percent of the company doesnt built in the us back. So this has this long located and long seas and dont close that and get the have shown these indicators of you know, that it gets uh 80 percent of its inhabitants of extra difficulties from the, from that i do for the aid from this. But it kind of the fee of, of, by this time. So that means that people have been suffering. Another one was being that the, the only player in guns that because 80 percent of the people have benefited from the under the law. And do you and agency is programs, especially for medical care education, Infrastructure Development to you, and that all the drives that data celebrated to. Yeah, sorry to interrupt, to you. I just wanted to say thats all the more reason why that aid is so important. Mazda, instead of crowds full that promised any administrative economy, and carney, the chief executive officer has sent across holding. Thank you. Now, the European Investment bank has invested millions of dollars, both in israel and palestine of the past 20 years. Its projects include energy, war to transport facilities for palestinians, as well as the style of nation programs in israel, which is here is how some i heard about us, spoke to the buying president when a hoity, he started by asking him about the impact of the war on the bank, so patient vibrate, definitely hope that things will come down because the, the projects are entertaining in gaza. For instance, on the west bank, they are not targeting at any political destination, but at the support for the people and clean water is something that people they need. So this will just one example of what were doing. Yeah. But uh we of course, uh, depending upon what the politic environment allows us to do, most of you have financing is always shifting to talk to the climate action. That means that we are likely to see more special funds to deal with Climate Change and natural disasters, particularly they also can continent on that. That takes our boxes. So i would say uh we have, we are proud to have been the 1st month is that really built in vancouver strong, strongly most strongly focused on climate x. And we are happy that now everybodys on board. And that last year i think it was over a 100000000000 euros that has been invested in this field. 56 of them come from united, be alone. So we, we are the leader of the pack and disrespect and we would like to continue. And of course, we need to develop new instruments and the ones you just mentioned to our center stage. We are doing this in several parts of the walls. So i think we are aligned with our colleagues, with our peers in the mtv community. You have announced a 1000000000 dollar, lo and form of welcome to tackle the aftermath of the us click. Is it going to be solely about recovery and reconstruction unnecessarily . But to, to be honest, they, after the terrible destruction as a consequence of us quake, we have offered similar work and government, our support. And we have a note of developed ideas that could leads to volume of up to a 1000000000 euros with for the next 3 years. But uh we, we, here we listen to what the American Government is, the prioritizing and to invest the direction the projects were to go. But we are strongly committed to this country where we have relations for almost half a century. He has been here very, very, very early and the relationship with morocco is particularly good in this part of the world. Do you see the potential for more investments when it comes to the transition to green energy . Were also has been establishing a platform over the last that could be, which is between europe and africa, which has huge potential when it comes to renewable energy. Absolutely, and be hydrogen issue where we are extremely engaged in the area where the idea and the substance of fruit partnerships can be a fruit. We must live that we must go beyond the rhetoric. We must walk the talk and the husband very good example. That means dont talk only about extraction, talk about refining for assessing and opening the, the world for parts of the patient, of african countries in the global economy. How do respond to many african countries, things that its about time to reform, the International Financial system. Otherwise, many countries would continue to do food on their own depths, because they say they cannot afford to continue taking those from international institutions. Telling us that you have to impose restrictions of 30 measures, spending cups for you to be able to get the financing, whether its in europe or an ethical or elsewhere. Some times people, countries run into difficulties that difficult is because of their own fault. So lets, lets differentiate, but there are others where you might say, they have been victims and unfortunate developments of, of nature or, and if its something else, and then we need to have specific solutions to be offered. And we did this for instance, uh when, when it comes to a dead for nature swaps we are ready to discuss. We are discussing long tenors for developing countries. We are, we have set up the is program for countries that are under the specific threats of natural disasters. So we include no that should drastic clauses into our financing agreements. That means if the disaster hits, if a small island state is just about to be washed away, for instance, then we come in with a, with a, the conditions of our loans that are going to take care of this, a special situation automatically. And its a bit sorry for that small items. Theyve been to enter into lincoln negotiations with your pin union, an eob e. So i think we are on the good, on a good way together with our partners and to go this house, we must bring more life to the idea of Real Partnership and get away from this donor recipient thinking that is, oh, so for this we get in touch with us on x will meaning a switch the money inside to use a hash tag h i c t c.
