the service thankfully for the militaristic faulty also tool. i think he talks about an aircraft carrier be, i, may, i put it the disposal of a is right. the defense forces is that the us deployments to send a strong message and then describe the isis excuse me to describe how mass us the isis of gaza and being on the iranian pay, what we call, how throughout to face that less just under a week. israel has been comparing what happened last week, saturday to pearl harbor, and 911 combined. the said is a will on the existence of israel, under rule on the freedom and on our common values, we will keep fighting and we will win this will. he said, so this is what's good, this is what you're watching now on here on dw, and you'll have guidelines speaking in can you prove all you will

a different level? and then we'll hear as a very shortly from the us defense secretary lloyd optics based of course, on the same day that the us secretary of state is also in the region on the same issue. out of the old online official thermal mario, my dental records. i've done the whole meeting with them. image shipman, i'll say that i will get to the dental. it's getting, i know that national with it's all a because they're going to bill. however, we must give out on the hosting. yes, let me see. let me see if it's a dentist. yeah, we'll call i've, i've been so frustrated about, i mean, most definitely call shall not flu. lemme tell me to come out so i'm not new, they're not sale. thank you so well, good afternoon everyone. your of, we've been in close touch,

but it's good to see you again in person. and it's good to be back in israel, even during such terrible days as the us secretary of defense, i am here in person to make something crystal clear. america support for israel is iron quiet and i extend my deepest condolences to the israeli people were those killed or wounded in this terrible slaughter by him. osh, i'm also here and solid arity with all the family still living. the waking nightmare of not knowing the fate of their loved ones. and we will continue to coordinate closely with israel to help secure the release of the innocent men, women and children in the clutches of a marsh including american citizens. now, israel is

a small country, a place where everybody knows everybody. and in times of trial, the intimacy of your society deepens the intimacy of your grief. but that's not a weakness. it is a profound strength. and then times of testing is rarely is know what to do. over this awful week, we've seen is really hotels and homes taking those we've had to, to flee. we've seen long lineups to donate blood. we've seen what steps explode with messages as people race to support neighbors and anguish and protect perhaps because i'm a retired general. i was especially moved by the story of

a retired general name. i know i'm t boned, his son called them on saturday from his home. your guys what to say that i'm off terrorist at storm they're codes and we're closing it. and retired general jumped into his car and tell of eve and raced toward the comrades all linked up with other fighters and rescued his son, his daughter in law, and his grand daughter's. and when the general arrived at their house, one of his grand daughter's just said grand pause here. these are rays of hope in a terrible week. and then times likely sometimes the best that of, of the best thing that a friend can do is just to show up and to get to work. now, this is no time for neutrality,

or for false equivalence or for excuses for the inexcusable. there is never any justification for terrorism, and that's especially true that is rampage by home, osh, and anyone who wants lasting peace and security for this region must come down and isolate how much of mazda does not speak for the palestinian people or their legitimate hopes for dignity, security, and statehood, and peace alongside israel. as a former commander of central command, the deliberate clarity of how much vividly reminds me of isis, blood, thirsty, fanatical, and hateful. and like isis, how moss has nothing to offer, but sell a tree,

bigotry, and dest. the world has just witnessed a great evil, the deadliest attract actual villians in the history of the state of israel. and the bloody yesterday, in jewish history since the end of the holocaust. so make no mistake. united states will make sure that israel has what it needs to defend itself. and israel has a right to protect its people. you know, when there are many phone calls this week, president biden has told prime minister netanyahu that the united states would also respond swiftly and decisively to such a man, massive terrorist as well. and the president also underscore the democracy is like

ours are stronger and more secure when we uphold the laws of war curv, i should like how much deliberately target civilians. but democracies don't. this is a time for resolve and not revenge for purpose and not panic. and for security and not surrender at present it binds direction, we have moved urgently to respond to this crisis and defend. so send a strong message of the church. the us as gerald or ford, carrier strike group goes now in the region. a lead by the largest aircraft carrier in the world. we've augmented us fighter aircraft squadrons in the middle east. in the us department of defense stands fully ready to deploy additional assets if

necessary. it's present by and has said for any country, for any group or anyone thinking about trying to take advantage of this atrocity to try to widen the conflict or to store more blood. we have just one word don't the world is watching. and so are we. and we are going anywhere we will remain in close contact with our value partners across the region. and security assistance from the department of defense is already rapidly flowing into israel. that includes munitions in their defense capabilities and other equipment and resources. it also includes more interceptors for aaron,

don't to save is really why is really large. and we will continue to assure that israel has what it needs to keep itself secure. now how mos attacked at a time of global challenge. but the united states is the most powerful country in the world. and we remain fully able to project power and uphold our commitments and direct resources to multiple theaters. so we will stand with israel, even as we stand with ukraine, that stays kind of walk and chew gum at the same time. and us to get security assistance to israel will flow in at the speed of war. it is this harrowing week draws to a close and as she about draws near,

we stand together and we stand strong. united states has gabriel's back, and that is not negotiable, and it never will be. and after this terrible week, i wish you and all the people of israel shut up, shut all, thank you. will be starting with the question starting with along the channel 13 thank you. and because are you, you're watching dw, you're watching a life press conference that between the defense, the secretaries of the united states, and that is right. let me say in that reaction to the events of the oldest a week ago, you'll have to balance the these right. the defense secretary spoke 1st and talked about defense corporation between that 2 countries to as the put it into a freedom of operation. but if any defense forces into extend that capabilities,

he, the us secretary of state both told about the deployment of a us back, a group to the mediterranean and cut often made the point to be painted. the point that came from present a bite and a warning to anyone thinking of extending the conflict. he said, we have just one word don't was it. so what we're going to do now is go back to that press conference and listen to the question and answer session by mouth insulation. so vague, well, i'm only staying based on what i've come. i've seen what's it and the most that, that you don't know if i'm us. i'm the one that i'll say like a 100 bucks via from us. i'm not from the show. you must say, look, i'm but it'll show up to the z and then we'll shop a z a, let me z ultimate listening to the vs. driving defense. secretary of answering

a question in april, 1 of the biggest points of this conflict that people have been talking about is where us, how the us will respond to these are new conflicts, as it is also, i think, leading the efforts to help new crime against russia the us secretary state was very fun about that, but how much the attack came at the time of global challenge? he said, we will stand with israel, even as we stand with you cry lives. we lost the civilian death, toll and gauze arise, well is real, conducts it's counter attacks and perhaps a ground invasion. do you believe the moral culpability for those palestinian deaths belongs to israel? a moss or both i'll leave it to israel to uh, to talk about its potential plans and its approach to conducting operations. man, i'll just to say again that israel has a right to defend itself,

and we will support israel's right to defend itself. we will continue to flow in security assistance and i've worked with this really forces over the years over many years. as you know, i wore uniform for 41 years. my experience and working with these really forces as they are professional, their discipline. and they are focused on the right things and so i expect that going forward that they will continue to exhibit that same degree of professionalism that we've seen in the past. but you know that we've seen this before, a national community for isis, who is in some cases was a, was embedded a deeply in built up areas in the international coalition. fought valiantly and protected civilians and created carters for humanitarian. uh,

move it even in the midst of a of a pretty significant fight. so again, this is a professional force. it is well with you and i have every expectation that it will be just thank you for mr to lot. have you seen evidence that of ron was direct? so i will leave it there and obviously if and, and if we hear anything the ball from much that press conference will bring it to you. as you can imagine, english is growing for the you have more than 150 hostages, that taken by her mouth into gaza during last, after these turn attacks doesn't, gardens are also attracts that families and friends here in europe trying to help loved ones get out a report of rosie, but john has moved from brussels after a moment of silence, a israel's national anthem. it goes through quite crowds, outside the european parliament and brussels. we're here with the president of the

european council, the president of the european commission, and all of you as one to express a solar diety inside a group of israelis, buffaloes between meetings with parliamentarians, making the case for more action. we need to know i'm actually laser photos of loved ones, 11 of whom are presumed kidnapped by him. us look at these family. okay. they're not on these. riley's many of them sion, she's a german citizen as well. we're really asking for the you to take responsibility and bring their citizens back home after the horrors. know the weight is like a nice thing. they burn the house who's a cute everyone and they took them and we're just trying to save whoever is to that . i think your opinion says it stands with israel,

but the block has also warns the country against blocking supplies to gaza. cutting what container 3 cd cartoon for to a mass receive 1000000 people is a gauge international. so yes, the actual mx shows that had not the in accordance with the international. that's why little, why fi is terrified to hailing from casa. we meet her at her home outside befalls, as she frantically tries to get family members out of the stripped. but they're trumped. we will see it. where can they hide up the stave know what to run to? they're starting to run out of milk threads drinking more to do, put them layla rejects the actions of him off on to the is really response through this is the killing civilians has never develop the palestinian cause. we've always said to the killing palestinian civilians does not make israel sofa on both sides. now we are weeping mothers. we are parents searching for our children. we are both

at the mercy of extremist politics and we shall have the same pain, but in opposing counsel in mid onto cope was the for no, all those watching from afar can do is hold on for their taking solace. a no whispered prayer for peace. ringback or songs, ho, hanging in the air more than a 1000000 gauze and sufficing what's being described by the u. n. as impossible is right. the ministry has given them just 24 hours to see that homes. is it for passport, unexpected ground invasion? a promise which controls the town trains told residents to ignore the warning. with many have decided it's time to go on breaks and gaza to a wave of aerial bombardment, about ology, of explosions, destroying buildings in the region. and today the attacks came along

with unofficial loading as he is rarely, military continue domestic tanks and troops near the cause and border ahead of an expected ground invasion cold. so there's some 1100000 people located in gaza city to relocate to the south within 24 hours. this involves a journey across the water. you guys have wetlands, the river dividing the territories north and south and so the x, it just begins causes and civilians and you and stuff i like started moving as best i could out of harm's way over and then you today we do not know where to go, there is no safe place. we know that no, we do not know where children are. we do not know what to do and we have no food or water top. i'm appealing to the united nations in front of the un building. where do we go? where do we go? why not ruth had the you and said moving so many people in such

a short period of time within one of the world's most densely packed areas would be impossible quote, without devastating humanitarian consequences. the clock ticks on the world house organization called 15 minutes having an access to gaza to be reviewed. it won't, the israel totes will do okay. and continue. bombardment pushed the health system to breaking point, blocking essential supplies and electricity. and we need a quote to provide medical services and so on. that's what i would. i would also ask for one is to protect civilians and 2nd to provide them with the support they need be trued medical services supplies as well continues to insist that she's just doing everything it can to minimize civilian suffering. but for the people of guys to time is running out as well as safe places to go.

well that's the total piece of land. a space for these ready defense forces i asked . and why is ryan's administrator told more than a 1000000 people in the north of the territory? to me as a friend? well, we need to make because it is good enough with us in a certain sense is responding rationally to his situation, which is the he and the that the base draw, the palestinian authority simply not play is in the drama currently on folding in the gaza strip. and, and as well because of course, as, as we know, since 2007 as it was 16 years now since the, i'm us expelled his organization and thought that from the big from the cause has been, they have not really caught or authority or indeed maintained any consequential, even political presence inside cause. so not one of us has been silent because as the saying goes in, in this world, one has nothing to say there. one should be silent. i think he seems to be following that. they did that in spoken to understandable and he opens his mouth

now and i'll just read you the quote, but i have a call for immediate and a comprehensive aggression against the palestinian people. he also be directed practice is related to killing civilians or ambushing them on both sides. so obviously quite an evenhanded approach. no condemnation, specifically of a mouse there. what do you make of that spell absolutely about this, i suppose, following the usual line and published in you in politics, whereby he will avoid criticizing by the other seeing infections which aren't guys that will fit against as well. i don't think anybody particularly needs to be surprised by this because it's been a constant battle really with us in to pay over the last couple of years to avoid any such a combination of, you know, i think what in the case really suddenly many is ready so i think we'll see it this further indicating the extent to which no partner really for dialogue, unfortunately exists on the palestinian side. nobody's under any illusions regarding what the one side of tell us, the new politics i'm us,

but really i think what the buses response shows, but it wouldn't come of surprise. i think it's the to his relatives. what so many observers of the situation is that he also from his basic standpoint, i'm afraid, doesn't really constitute upon us for any to hear a diplomatic process of progress to be made. but again, i don't think this needs to really surprises. this is of us acting very much within the parameters we teach active for some considerable time now. so given what you say about mr. bass, having a no influence or authority over the in gaza, why is sex or a state blinking? why see that talking to him? yeah, that's actually an excellent question and i'm afraid i personally find it rather difficult to, to answer. i mean secretary, blinking, it's understood, you know, as the, as a representative of the superpowers and all the country which was sort of fluids and large amounts of paid by the way to the palestinian authority wishes to speak to, to play is on the ground. so to speak, but yeah,

i would have to also question really. and in my, you know, as a estimation of these, whether that's a useful use of his time, but the present time. but i think you'll go responded also pointed out incorrectly . that will cause the americans have no open dialogue with some us because come us as a designated tiro and ization. so i suppose i said that they blinked and wants to meet with somebody from the palestinian side, so he's chosen to meet with. as i said at the beginning, the somewhat irrelevant leader of the senior officer to the present time, who has no say no cloud, so to speak, no ability to influence events on the bound and the gaza strip. and obviously not on these very side even. so either in the region or anywhere else is in a position to influence how mass activities we've, we've heard. and the last couple of days about a tata being used as some sort of a intermediates intermediate or intermediary. i thought you'd be only a people or the so it says it was really in the middle east region has 3

countries of states which are allied aligned or supportive over to one level or another. and those 3 countries i'm could probably called around the republican turkey and the end of the cut, the. now we've got 2 in the veins of course, of the main military when deepest, the only military back. cuz already significant minutes started back cuz of some us to come up with military capacity. the answer to or to me solves the 5 years, even the technical abilities that were displayed on saturday to arrive from the relationship with the wrong. so one could seem to talk to the wrong, but of course that wouldn't be very useful because the reading and so basically supportive of, of us sorta which took place on saturday and hope that bit of traffic that leaves you with turkey and cut off who are not military lead backing from us, but they do maintain close diplomatic relationships with the movement. and indeed, i'm us leadership talking to the supers county residents and go ha, in got the so yes, i think it one want if one were looking to establish

a channel of communication with from us, the sensible way to do it would probably go through, cut off and that does indeed appear to be what, what is what is taking place most extensively. sony from the is that the side is what they've seen publicly is a, this car on the very little interest actually in a to prologic channel. israel wants to it, but militarily, at the slow to another of its citizens that took place on saturday. and i think that's probably going to be, well, i think it's, we could all conclude really there is going to be a military chapter to this on the ground. before any diplomacy of any kind really hasn't realistic terms of moving forward. but yes, come thought is the address i would say for western has its west of seeking. so western countries seeking to make contact with and communication with from us. i. so that's very clear, a security on this jonathan spy, and jerry said, so i apologize for the mistake at the start of that interview. a more coverage of the situation at the top of the a, just a minute here on the w. and more of course,
