A 1000000 people have been told to relocate to the south of the territory. The situation of the un has described as impossible on a visit to saudi arabia, us, secretary of state, and to me blinking calls for civilians in israel and gas to be protected, blinking also phones as chinese counterpart to ask badging to use its influence in the middle east to stop the conflict from spreading the mix. Spicer, welcome to the program. Israels Prime Minister has visited is rarely troops of the guys and border to this, but it is of the visit was released by israels government. Press Office Benjamin nathan. Yeah. Who is heard asking troops whether they are ready for the next stage of israels military operation against time us. It is really military says it has prepared for a coordinated era ground enable offensive own casa. Israels government has mobilized over 300000 reserve troops since a mass attacked israel. Israel also issued an Evacuation Order to civilians in northern guys that urging them to leave a head of an expected ground offensive is rarely official said to main roads. Would allow people to escape safely and relocate to the Southern Region of the water while the gas or wetlands that cut the territory into israels military has already been attacking targets. It says are linked to hum us the terrorist groups as 9 people live is holding hostage. Ive been killed in those rates in the past 24 hours civilians and guys have also been among the casualties. Rushing injure to hospital after an air in kansas city. Israels military stepped up air strikes on how mass targets a week after how mass launched terror attacks. And israel that killed more than 1000 people a mid bombardments and ground raids. Israels military says it dropped pamphlets, giving civilians in northern gather a new time window to evacuate to the south. The warning comes ahead of unexpected Ground Invasion by israel. But the United Nations is urging israel to revoke the Evacuation Order warning of a humanitarian disaster. They are calling for an end to the siege on gazda and the passage of 8. So our call now is uh for uh long humanitarian opposes to anything clay. Doors face passages board at 8 to reach the children and families in the us to alter the protection of children as is but amount. And its thats possibility of all of talk you through the conflict. Israels army accuses have massive stopping civilians from evacuating and stress that its targeted. Gazda is from us terrorist, the Palestinian Civilians and gaza or no for enemies. We dont assess them as such, and we dont target them as such. If they were obviously the situation in gaza would be totally different. We are trying to do the right thing, trying to evacuate civilians in order to minimize the risk for them. And meanwhile to israels north and 11 on israels army. So as it killed several tears trying to cross the border, lebanons has the law a militant group back by around has said it is prepared to join. Its ally, have mass and fighting is real. Fears or mounting that the conflict between her mouth and is real. Could spill over, across the region, keep hearing about a ground offensive that is immune and dw is rebecca rivers, isnt came near the is rarely bored with gas, gaza. And she gave me her assessment when suddenly feels that way from where im standing make. I always hear a couple of days ago, ive been back in jerusalem, but since i got back to that, you can see the quite stock a upgrade over the amount of hardware and troops that are around this region, excuse me. Its has started raining here when i was here the other day, there was a huge build up of hardware just behind us in this field today. When we came down here, you could see another massive build up on the other side of the highway. It definitely has the feeling that this ground offensive that everyone believes is going to take place. Is there gearing up for it and it is going to take place soon. Today, as you mentioned, there in the late in their Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister visited 2 of the keyboards, says me, there it goes, this trip that you know with the seeing that those are, if it crimes from last weekend, he spoke to troops there and he said, be prepared with get ready. The next move is going to take place there. And so it definitely feels as though this ground offensive is what we believe is going to happen is going to happen st earlier. Actually i so what runs the d 9 military vehicle coming across this road behind it. Sorry, its very dark and how many good me perspective they have, but they us, the vehicles that go in in the ground. If those incursions 1st likely the way behind them of the tanks and then the troops, so definitely preparing for what could be an imminent Ground Invasion. Okay, rebecca is here talking, were showing our viewers. Pictures are Benjamin Netanyahu meeting. Its and weve also been looking at pictures of it is rarely strikes on. Northern guys are flattening entire city blocks. It would seem, what can you tell us more about the safe passage quarters that the guys were offered to please software as well. That safe passage was supposed to expire this morning, was extended until 4 pm this afternoon. And as far as were aware of that was carried out, that was a safe passage from here you could hear far less if any of old strikes normally the one i received the other day. Boom boom. We could hear the strikes uh, fully into gaza. You couldnt hear any of those this afternoon just in the last hour or 2. Weve heard them pick up again. We saw a couple on the horizon and you cant see them now, but there are a couple of fires. Also burning on the, on the other side of the border in gaza. So the strikes picking up again, we had a confirmation from the idea of that that was in fact taking place now in terms of the civilians trying to get out. Were talking about 1100000 people trying to move south. Now they have begun to do so, but its a complicated process. It isnt going to be able to happen very quickly. Weve heard from the un saying that is Something Like that is k, all taken the most Vulnerable People are going to not be able to carry out that kind of a move. Were talking about the same people, pregnant women, you know, elderly, the, that these people going to be stuck left behind. And that the idea of how they use writing military has a, excuse me, the rain is getting very heavy. Now the thing is heading over to you really have a duty to, to continue to protect those civilians. On the other side, we also know that yesterday they were offered some sort of safe passage as well. And we were getting reports that around 70 civilians were struck by uh, buying a strike. So theres a lot of fear among people. We also have been hearing reports that are most trying to prevent civilians from leaving the areas. So its only know were talking about 1100000 people trying to move in a very, very crowded space down to the southern part of gaza. And its not, not, its not something thats going to be able to happen in a 24 hour period. Okay. Ease of use, rebecca re ritter is important for us from southern israel. Dozens of israelis have been protesting in front of the Defense Ministry and tell of eve, asking authorities to bring their missing relatives back home. Many held signs with the names and pictures of their loved ones. Some are still unaccounted for, and some are believed to be held captive and gaz. Following the massive assault launched by how much last saturday they killed. More than 1300 people, at least a 150 is really are believed to have been taken hostage. Stephen ryan is with the International Red cross and Red Crescent Society in jerusalem. I asked him whether his organization is playing a role and getting him asked to free the is really hostages. Well certainly i, but we can say right from the start is of nothing can justify the attacks that were carried out in israel, in the, in the last week or hertz the i see, or see all of her stuff as well as people around the world or has glad to find these have lost loved ones and especially also to those who are left, waiting and wondering what has happened to those who have been taken hostage. And the i c r c has been reiterating. Its called the parties for the complex to make sure that they are released immediately. We have engaged with a mouse and a dialogue to make sure that they understood what their obligations are. And at the same time, the tax it is relative sufferts. I cannot justify the limitless destruction of gaza. There has been tragedy on both sides of this complex and the i c or c, acting as a neutral intermediary and our role as an entirely neutral unimpressed organization. Works with people that are affected, both in israel and gaza and to turn to the situation in gaza itself if you dont mind, what are you hearing about conditions for civilians there now. But certainly from talking to my colleagues that are based there at the church, he has over a 100 stuff based and gaza. The situation is dire. A. There has been a distinct lack of food, water, electricity. And now i such a huge number of people being instructed to move sites in conditions like this. It is impossible for the i c or c, or any organization to provide suspicions, humanitarian assistance. While the ministry siege continues, we do not have access to the people that need help right now. While that feeds continues, were not going to be able to help people, and thats why were calling for an immediate humanitarian access both for relief. I sions, goods, medical license foods and or stuff to be able to help, to meet some of the needs that are lising by the hour. And the Israeli Government stephen has told civilians as we know to leave northern gas. What are the people who cant leave . Who are in hospital or babies and incubators, there are people you know or are too old. Will your organization be able to help them . A look. Certainly the military forces and the armies have the responsibility to warn people about intending risk. But at the same time, as you mentioned, theyre going to be many, many people who are unable to sleep for a broad range of reasons. They might be elderly, they might have a disability and might be fixed. For all of these reasons, it means that International Humanitarian law protects these people. And that means that a states and other authorities have a responsibility to make sure that theyre spared on the sizes. For the perspectives of the i, c or c, we are ready to try and help these people. Goals that have needs, as well as those who have no choice but to remain where they are. To do so, we need to have access for teens and to be able to bring in like you needed really functions. And it just the last question. If i may, you have perhaps a 1000000 people on the move traffic jams inevitably, if theyre all taking these, these 2 safe routes. How do you actually catch up and deliver food and medicine to these people . Is that part of the challenge . But certainly part of the challenges that we do have a large number of staff based and gaza, many of which are resident there and some international stuff. Although its not sufficient for us to be able to respond to the crisis on the scale, which is growing by the hour. We needs to be able to get further relief and people in we need to be able to organize support for the people that are there. Because right now the situation is so fluid and dynamic that its impossible. But the small, relatively small team that we have, and for all the amount of turn actors to be able to address is crisis. So we need to have access now. Okay, steven ryan with the red cross introduce and thank you so much. I a German Foreign minister annaleeah lena bear bock is an egypt for talks focused on the gas a conflict there. Block met with egyptian foreign ministers, some issue agreeing cairo in a statement. Egypt said both ministers understood the need for the quote, immediate association of escalation of the conflict. Air bach is Holding Tanks as well with visiting Turkish Foreign minister, i can see down to discuss the joint efforts to secure the release of german hostages, held by from us us secretary of state antony blinking, has called for the protection of civilians. As israel prepares for an assault on gas and during a meeting with his audi counterpart, prince face held in far hand in re ad blinking said that while israel has a legitimate right to defend his people, it was vitally important to protect civilians and that the us and saudi arabia were working together to do so, blinking also found his chinese counterpart to urge badging to use its influence in the middle east to stop the conflict from spreading. Simsi of danco is a visiting fellow at the European Council on foreign relations. I asked her if the normalization talks between israel and saudi arabia could be resurrected or if it was completely off the table. Thats the only time the rest of rector, because of the basis of that normalize ation process, i have to say that, you know, there are real, very real interest. So in both on all the sites involved, the solid. You do want to have stronger relations with israel and also use this agreement to sort of get a good the renewal of us security commitments to the region because of saudi arabia is aware that to contain the risk. So im on a thing from iran and others, they need both engagements and the terrans, and they use ruggedly as august. Do you have a very Strong Political interest in signing onto this normalization because it would unlock a number of other relate relationships the throughout the auto been his stomach world and the United States has a strong interest because 1st of all, they wanted to relinquish to some of their responsibilities as security actor in the region to israel. And at the same time, they also are aware that this would pay out very well, politically, for the administration that would be responsible for facilitating section agreements. That it is simply a, that those interests are going to stay, but this is really not the time its politically toxic to now to look at this file. So its going to take
