Spanish russell hope to use and newly it should be grouped to arrive the next few days but where it will arrive is still up where it will arrive is still up in the air. No Functioning Point in gaza so it is unclear where that boat. The ship called the open arms will set off. In the cypriot port of larnaca theyve been working around the clock. The spanish ship, open arms, preparing to tow a barge with 200 tonnes of food and medical aid all the way to gaza. Its a precarious, untested plan, with obvious risks. Translation yes, we will tow this platform to gaza where The Last Mile will be the most complicated operation. The disembarkation will be done on a pier that is being built right now by the world central kitchen. How the aid will be unloaded into gaza where theres no port or functioning harbour isnt clear. Airdrops and some Land Deliveries are often swamped by thousands of desperate, hungry people. Some aid agencies say the plan is misguided and ineffective. Weve now also heard details about the ambitious american plan to build a Floating Port just off the coast of gaza. Itll take at least two months to build and will be built by us naval engineers, although critically, no us Military Personnel will set foot ashore in gaza. The humanitarian crisis is worsening by the day. The un says theres a danger of famine and children are already reported to be dying from malnutrition. All of this is happening because israel and hamas have been unable to agree a ceasefire that would have allowed more aid in by road through israel still the preferred, most effective route. And the fighting continues. At least ten people were reported to have been killed today in an air strike on the Nuseirat Refugee Camp in central gaza. Israel, despite growing International Pressure for a truce, says its Military Campaign is not yet over. Wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. Attem pts atte m pts to attempts to get more aid into gaza are progressing and talks of a ceasefire im not. Ahead of a ceasefire im not. Ahead of israels Intelligence Service accusing come up of hardening a position in these write offs, thank you plan to as Clay Tensions during ramadan. Come must not let israel for lack of progress in Ceasefire Negotiations that are continuing and expected to continue in cairo next week. New comets on saturday, President Joe Biden said he is not giving up on a Ceasefire Deal before the muslim holy month of ramadan begins on monday. Spoke earlier with the former Israeli Force spokesman Jonathan Enrico is about manager and eight effort and how they are connected to effort to stop the violence. Thank you for being here. I want to start with some of the remarks made by President Joe Biden in the state of the Union Address where he talks about the situation in gaza. Take a listen. ,. , ,. , the situation in gaza. Take a listen. ,. , , listen. To the leadership of is real i assistance listen. To the leadership of is real i assistance cannot listen. To the leadership of is real i assistance cannot be i real i assistance cannot be secondary consideration or a bargaining chip. Protecting and saving innocent lives have to be priority. As we look to the future, the only real solution to the situation in these two State Solution over time. fix, to the situation in these two State Solution over time. A lot in there and State Solution over time. A lot in there and we State Solution over time. A lot in there and we heard State Solution over time. A lot in there and we heard the in there and we heard the president essentially warning israel against using aid as a bargaining chip. What is your response to what he said . There were many response to what he said . There were many positive response to what he said . There were many positive things response to what he said . There were many positive things from | were many positive things from my perspective said by the president and regarding the specific statement, it is very much correct that humanitarian aid is not used as bargaining. The only people bargaining humanitarian matters are hamas that are keeping israelis hostage for more than 154 days. They are the ones on the humanitarian front are the cruel, heartless and terrorists. We have to look forward. There are lots of people in gaza that are probably not affiliated with hamas and should get communitarian assistance. It would have been great if these people would have been taken care of by the new un facilities in gaza and provided their needs. That was a decision unrwa decided four months i go not to do. And we see the consequences we spoke with many leaders are humanitarian and aid organisations and what they have been telling the bbc as they simply cannot continue with those humanitarian missions and are not able to access areas or get supplies in and say it is simply too dangerous. And say it is simply too dangerous. The Security Situation dangerous. The Security Situation does dangerous. The Security Situation does not dangerous. The Security Situation does not allow dangerous. The Security Situation does not allow them to do that. Is israel doing enough to provide the conditions in order to actually deliver aid safely to the civilians that need it . Definitely yes. Israel is doing far beyond what any military fighting in combat is doing, while there was a clear and imminent threat to israeli civilians and still is hostages held in gaza, israel is transferring humanitarian aid into the basin combat zone. I would like to say unrwa is a complete and other failure of their mandates. They felt the palestinians, failed their charter, failed the values of the un and failed the humanitarian mission and they arejust nothing more but a front for hamas, doing, smack smack dirty work and enabling the continued ruler, smack over the continued ruler, smack over the gaza strip. The gaza strip. Ceasefire negotiations the gaza strip. Ceasefire negotiations having the gaza strip. Ceasefire| negotiations having gone the gaza strip. Ceasefire negotiations having gone and im sure you have been paying close attention. It seems like they have broken down were not long way from the start of ramadan. How optimistic are you . There have been calls to try to get a multi day ceasefire in before the holy month. How optimistic are you that would happen . I month. How optimistic are you that would happen . That would happen . I think, smacks plan that would happen . I think, smacks plan is that would happen . I think, smacks plan is working that would happen . I think, smacks plan is working out| smacks plan is working out quite nicely and getting support and use of the International Community and the us very cleverly. I think their plan all along was to buy time, spend time until the month of rumba dump comes along. Banking on or hoping israel would not do major Combat Operations during that month in fear of additional escalation in other parts of the middle east and religious extremism bubbling over into general violence in the area. Sadly that plan appears the happy Working Clinic to all of the locations. Are a real hostage deal was knocked in the works. They were playing full time in order to get close to and i think they were hoping us would call the way out of the fighting and claim victory by existing and having some long term in unofficial ceasefire. I hope israel stays true to its mission that is to defend israeli civilians and get the hostages home and defeat the threat and menace of, smack from gaza.

I want to ask you about your assessment of the situation in haiti. I do not want to use the word cooper how close is the government to completely losing control of the situation . It completely losing control of the situation . The situation . It already is. Haiti has the situation . It already is. Haiti has been the situation . It already is. Haiti has been a the situation . It already is. Haiti has been a failed the situation . It already is. | haiti has been a failed state since the assassination. He was appointed de facto Prime Minister the us appointed. That has the entire country including games for his resignation and has done nothing for the haitian people. The United States has held him in power. At this point, it is not a coup or a protest, it is a revolution. Ithink not a coup or a protest, it is a revolution. I think the haitians are really reaching out for the sovereignty they did not gain when they defeated the french for their independence because ever since then, International Countries and white people have been making their governmental decisions for them and they never had a social contract between the people in their government. Let between the people in their government. Between the people in their government. Let me ask you, what should government. Let me ask you, what should the government.

He is a suspect in the assassination and i am not sure he was involved in the planning or implementation but he certainly has obstructed justice to a large degree since the assassination. If he is no longer in power, he is going to have to facejustice longer in power, he is going to have to face justice and he knows that. That complicates it. He is not getting back into haiti and surviving. Im not talking about survive as Prime Minister, im talking about surviving come alive. Did you think the surviving come alive.

Is that even a good option in terms of Holding Elections or trying to find somebody else to lead the nation that is not currently with the nickname barbecue . One of the top leaders of gangs that are leading the violence. The International Leading the violence. Tue International Community leading the violence. Tte International Community wants to get this right. We panicked. The us and france and canada did not care two weeks ago about the humanitarian disaster. Which has gotten worse. But not markedly since this happened. It will continue to get worse. They do not care about and suddenly they care about and suddenly they care about it. If they want to get this right, they need to let the Haitian Civil Society opposition Political Parties come together and find be haitian way forward, which has never been afforded to them in their years of independence. If their years of independence. If the International Community chooses another leader or government for them, it may get better temporarily but will continue its slide to have it. We have seen in the past some attempts at International Aid efforts or security effort is not going well in haiti. I know you stepped down from your role as ambassador in 2021, over the deportation of haitian migrants from the us. How would you then gauge what the us should be doing or has been doing when it comes to haiti, which is only a few hundred miles away from the Southern Coast of the us. It is one hour Southern Coast of the us. It is one hour and Southern Coast of the us. It is one hour and 40 Southern Coast of the us. Tt 3 one hour and 40 minute flight from miami to port au prince, pretty darn close and it has become a hub of Illicit Trafficking in the hemisphere. A great threat to us national security. The last 2. 5 years, despite me telling them what i thought was the right way and the consequences accurately of going with him, they stuck with them and the us created the situation. It is time for them to sweep it up and they will have to help security was whether President Biden wants to are not because this intervention with Police Officers from africa is nothing but a pipedream at best and a Suicide Mission at worst. It is certainly Suicide Mission at worst. It is certainly a Suicide Mission at worst. It is certainly a difficult certainly a difficult situation. The citizens of haiti are caught in the middle. Ambassador, formally be Special Envoy to haiti, give your perspective. Envoy to haiti, give your perspective there was another mass kidnapping in nigeria, armed men kidnapped 15 students from their school in the early hours of saturday, four women were also taken.
