Still has to be conducted within the framework of international law. Which means that civilians in the lives of civilian and civilian infrastructure has to be protected. You also wanted to put this particular flare up that weve seen over the past couple of days in a larger Historical Context. And i want to quote him in verbatim. Here, he said also in that statement that the most recent violence does not come in a vacuum. Quote. Another quote is, the reality is that it go, that it grows out of a long standing conflict with a 56 year long occupation and no political ends in sight. That is a quote also from his statement where hes trying to explain that there is a Historical Context behind this not justifying the violins but putting it into a context. And so theres really, there was an attempt to really try and strike a balance and to try and calm the situation for, for both sides. And what about the United States and earlier today um at the you in the us reiterated support for is really also worried about the risk of this conflict escalating. What more do we know about the us response as well the United States as certainly as should the rest of the world . Very concerned about the possibility of this conflict spiraling and miss metastasize in, in the entire region. And we know that the, the secretary state has said that the, the binding ministration has reached out to players in the region, directly or indirectly, asking them not to take advantage of this particular conflict. Be that sections in the west bank in lebanon, or in a run, of course the United States would not directly reach out to iran, but that probably happened through some kind of a mediation. The United States is unequivocally on the side of israel. Theres no doubt that divided administration is with israels right to protect itself. Its also a quote from the administration here. Theyve moved a number of ships and a and equipment into the eastern mediterranean, a no doubt in the move to deter some of those actors that we talked about in that case it would be around. But with that being said, a secretary of state anthony blinking has said that there is no evidence to suggest that e, ron is behind this coordinated terrorist attack on its really a civilians. But the United States is secretary blinking has, has, has also made that comparison, that what we seen recently is, is that a, is like what happened in 1973 in the you can pour war. But he did point out that the difference between the 73 war which was a, which was a conventional war with military, that this particular war was instigated by acts of terror. And what about tardy politics in all of this there in washington . Republicans laying at least some of the blame for this situation at the doorstep of president by so we really have to go back a couple of weeks brent to the Prisoner Exchange agreement between the United States and iran. The United States had agreed to release 6000000000. 00 us dollars a frozen funds iranian funds that had been frozen in the south korean account, due to sanctions and sanctions rule. So, so itd be nice. Its agreed to release these funds in exchange for 5 us citizens. That had been held detained wrongfully in an very notorious iran in a prison. And at the time the by the administration assured us, i remember listening to officials back then saying that that money would only be used for humanitarian purposes. Fast forward to the situation we have now, we see a former president , donald trump saying that that money could have been use to, to, to embolden how much or how thomas that is wrong for 2 reasons. The 1st reason is that according to the, by the administration, those funds have not been released yet. And of course, as i mentioned earlier, the, the button administration has a secretary blinking has said that theres no evidence to connect a want with that particular of this most recent flareup of violence, even though how mass and iran are allies. Another thing is that a, donald trump keeps saying that this is us taxpayer money, be 6000000000. 00, but its also not true. These were frozen iranian funds. So you can see with a lot of misinformation, theres at least an attempt to use this also for you know, the upcoming election. Yeah, its good to get the truth out there. Youre right, theres a lot of misinformation circulating our special correspond to our uber. He tonight in washington, i a thank you as a berlin synagogue has been holding a Memorial Ceremony and saying prayers for the victims of the him, off attacks israels ambassador to germany, ron prose, or in berlins mayor.

As he mentioned, among the attendees were high ranking political as it goes. But also families who have relatives in his role rhetorically effective of what is happening there. And um, we initially had quite a few speeches and all of them occurred really the same thing that germany stands with israel in these times. And in these times, it is also very important to show unity, and that was really quite a, quite a very strong message in the speech is here today, especially from carving of the mayor of button, he reinstated time and again that israel has the right to defend itself, im not germany will stand by it and i my to lot its all right, lets bring up to speed.

Thank you so much for joining us to share that message. All the best to you. Thank you. And that was my colleague sarah kelly. Theyre talking to colleagues don, whose mother and daughter are feared to been kidnapped by a months or we have some breaking news coming in. Its looks like a reversal, the European Commission reversing an earlier announcement to suspend all development a payments to the palestinian territories. The aid is worth about 700000000 euro. That money will continue to be paid out and out dw corresponded to band rieger. T has been following this story. I mean this is a 180 degree turnaround. Bear do we know why the decision was made one way and then the decision was made to go the other way . Is that less confusing here in process of the leave of a hailey the commission of a neighborhood policy a send out a message on x this afternoon. They said that all 8 would be stopped and no money would flow into the palestinian territories anymore. And everybody was surprised because tomorrow, the Foreign Ministers actually, of all 27 Member States would gather to talk about just that. How to react on that on the terra, by the how much and how to them to react this financial means. So in the evening the commission then said no, no he, he jumped the got a little bit to you, but since we went to the so far in the things but only be checked, that the money will flow for old projects. And the band or this announcement may strike new projects which i plan on for next year. And to make it very clear that theres schuman and terry and 8. So food medical supplies screenings for 1500000 people in gaza and who can not support themselves is not concerned so that you boot pay shumate, terry and assistance as promised. And barrett, we just want to be clear about this money thats coming from the European Union and going to the palestinians in, in gauze of, of that money is for humanitarian purposes. Only. How does the European Union ensure that money earmarked for humanitarian purposes is spent on humanitarian purposes and not for terrorists . But you have to keep in mind that since 2008, there are no direct context but seeing how most, which is running a kind of administration in gaza and the European Union. The European Union is funding all the money through International Organizations are non governmental organizations, like the read trusts, the recreation, or of the most of, or the united nation. So they put the money to this organization and they then have to disperse the money in gaza or buy supplies. And, and, and the main actor here is a special body of the United NationsRelief Organization is especially for palestinian refugees, which is fucking since 1950 the so called wouldnt hoover. And that 13000 members of under him gaza strip. They are financed by that. You or, but also by other countries on countries United States, everybodys given money for that. They run schools around hospitals and, and so they are checking, actually read the money goes into uses. We dont pay anything to a mazda, but of course, in an entity like a gaza strip, its very difficult, this corruption and theres no rule of law. So you can imagine that some money goes somewhere and also this, the audits run by the you there. So they try at least to keep track of the money, and thats the other. Pause is development a this, this money is the amount for the construction sides of infrastructure, infrastructure, sewage plans, water supplies, and stuff like that. Okay. This is the money in the us know, talking about that might be held back in the next year or corresponded to bed. Rigor with the 180 reversal was denied coming from brussels. Bear. And thank you.
