the city of rasa has been the last refuge. the families fleeing the financing and got the previously deemed a safe zone by israel. meaning he is still struggling to get by. now you're also looking for we have 10 people living in the same tent and we suffer from the sheet and mosquitoes. we do everything inside the tent cooking cleaning basing. the children have sick children who cannot tolerate the sheets, and we have prompt inside the tent rarely going outside the classroom while america young, me know, israel says rafa is a strong home for home, us militants and plans to launch a ground invasion. rewan totally speaking and saudi arabia with palestinian president and judged against a touch of the palestinian people. we emilia, why we appeal to the united states of america to ask israel to stop the restful authoration. because america is the only country capable of preventing israel from

committing this crime. he does, yeah. the math us has previously said it could not support a russell authoration without a credible humanitarian plan. israel sees it is scaling up a deliveries into gaza with plans for a new ocean delivery car door together with the united states central command. we're working on a temporary, married time, peer known as j lots, which stands for joint logistics over the shore. a deliveries via yeah, continues to bring some desperately needed supplies. she minutes area in groups one, it's not enough with hunger wide spread and looming risk of famine for many in gaza to the law. i'm not doing the correspondence. rebecca of it as always in jerusalem. rebecca, good morning. you're a secretary of state anthony blinking is inside of the rubia today. what time are

you expecting from them? well this is anthony blinking 7th visit to the middle east and his 5th to saudi arabia barrow since october 7th, since the will began. he'll be bringing with him a very similar message as he has done in previous visits. of course, the sci fi talks and his potential hostage deal definitely to helping the agenda are and coming at a very key time when we're seeing is crucial phase of the hostage negotiations. but you'll also be there to talk to other gulf in our latest from todd you, a egypt and at uncle saudi arabia to discuss a post world. cause that's something that is very much in the minds of us officials . and of course, every time he visits saudi arabia, he'll also be bringing with him on the agenda, a willingness, or a potential to talk about the ongoing conversation about is ready saudi normalization. now that is something that the usa as a potential way all the way forward in this post cause

a year. and it's something that's a high on the agenda for the us administration for the president biden's us administration since he took office before october 7, i was told we're already making some headway and they are still in the pipeline. but the sticking point being israel's refusal to talk about any future palestinian states has a very, very big agenda that and some people in ken brings with him as always from saudi arabia. then he'll be following on to jordan and he had to israel as well. so lots on the, on the plate funds to the blinking, the mean balance he's 5 talks are happening in egypt as well, with the most delegation present. yeah, and we're getting to a point where we're seeing some very positive moves in the so hostage negotiation. certainly the closest we've come in, certainly several weeks if not months since. and we've seen these negotiations have been ongoing and logically stalling, since the last negotiation was successful back in november. now, last week,

addiction officials were in israel to discuss with negotiate. it's key about what they would potentially agree to. they have sent back with them to agents with those officials, accounts, and proposal that hamas has reported. they've been mulling over now. it needs to be reported that her mazda officials are heading to cairo today, and could be even giving a their, their answer to whether or not they will accept the steel. there have been some reports that have mazda officials sitting in the pilot bureau has been saying that they say no major issues with this car a deal on the table. so that is a cool something very positive, but it is always a bit of a split between them as is paula bureau and the minute tree wing. and of course, yeah, yes. and while the head of how much you guys are. and so whether or not that will be able to agree on what's stipulated in this particular deal closer mind to be saved is never done until it's done there action. we've certainly been state, we've seen it come close many times before. so we'll certainly have more details

for you today. as this is happening, pressure is going from within the within yeah. who's own governments to invade? rough uh, come bought me. is that reflective of us flipped in the government? and if so, what bedding could it have? and what happens next of a sudden and the difference of opinion we have in the government as to whether or not they should take a deal and take this rough or offensive of the table. we saw remarks from the finance minister, but to those smart traits. one of the most far right members of benjamin netanyahu, his cabinet, he came out to say that if raffle was canceled, then this government would have no legitimacy. he's calling for that operation to take place despite any further tools, whether there's a hosted deal or not. now we heard from most tend to right member, it wasn't initially part of the governments that the coalition, but he came in after work. so i'll type a 7 into the wall cabinet. that's pretty guns. he's a, you know, a very senior figure in this little cabinet. and he's,

he said in the statement that entering my for easy, important, bought the campaign against some of the campaign against massachusetts. a is very important, but the return of hostages is even more so he said of a deal is reached with the backing of to the defense establishment, but without ending the war. and then the, the ministers who led this late this government on october 7th wouldn't be legitimate if they didn't agree to that. so you do see a difference of opinion that does that mean? what i think we're saying is that most of the government is committed to going into rough. uh, there's some members would like party, a hostage deal made in the interim. and leave it there for the time being the deb, it's rebecca. that doesn't journals. number thanks. so much i for the war and ukraine now, ukraine's top general say is his forces have suffered several setbacks on the battlefield. and russian troops advancing in the eastern done yet screeching. the forces lead to all legs on the cities. cases. moscow is not attacking ukraine along the entire front line. and as a chief,
