Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the United States around the world and streaming us on cnn max, im Rosemary Church, just ahead. Ramadan begins under the shadow of war in gaza, where people are preparing to mark the muslim holy month amid fears of Food Shortages and artillery strikes, more Controversy Swirling for the Princess Of Wales after Kensington Palace released the first photo of her in weeks, why it was then swiftly retracted by News Agencies. And oppenheimer dominates during hollywoods biggest night but it was qin who stole the show live from atlanta. This is cnn hes room with Rosemarie Church it is asia in the morning across gaza where palestinians are marking the start of the holy muslim month of ramadan as the threat of an expanded Israeli Offensive looms, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he plans to push ahead with a Military Ground Incursion into rafah, the Southern Gaza city where more than 1 Million People are sheltering. These comes just days after talks on a temporary ceasefire and hostage release fail to reach a deal. Israel had warned that it would launch the next phase of its war against hamas if a deal was not reached by ramadan, but us Officials Say the Biden Administration is not expecting Israeli Forces to imminently expand operations all this happening as israels Prime Minister defends his policies in gaza. After the us president said netanyahu is quote, hurting israel more than helping cnns mclean is following all the developments from istanbul in an interview this weekend, President Joe Biden said that in israeli invasion of rafah would be a red line for him, but he also said that he would never cut israel off of all weapons that apparently didnt sound all that threatening to the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who insisted that israeli invasion of wrapup. Well go ahead he said the fighting. Good last two months, perhaps even less than that this despite the fact that you have well over 1 million palestinians taking refuge in the city of rafah with frankly, no safe places to go within the territory netanyahu, in this interview with politico and the german outlet bild well, the also responded to bidens public criticism when he said that netanyahu was hurting israel more than he was helping. Heres the israeli Prime Ministers response. Well, i dont know exactly what the president meant. But if you meant by that done, im pursuing private policies against the majority. The wish of the majority of israelis and that this is hurting the interests of israel, then hes wrong on both counts. Israel had previously promised to move into rafah on the ground if a hostage release deal wasnt made by ramadan. Ramadan is here now and that deal has not been made. There also, no signs of any kind of negotiating breakthrough. Hamas left cairo where the last rounds of talks were being held on thursday, the israelis were never there at all because they say that hamas could not provide even a list of hostages who are alive and those who are now dead. Hamas also continues to insist that no deal can be reached unless the idf is willing to completely withdraw from gaza and any ceasefire thats agreed to who is a permanent one . A pretty tough sell for the israelis who again, as you heard from the Prime Minister, continued to insist that they will only end this war or when hamas is completely eliminated. And that means in rafah as well. We also heard from the hamas chief ismail haniyeh, who gave a televised address on sunday. He says that he is still open to talks, but he says that no hostages will be released until a deal is made. Scott mclean, cnn, istanbul joining me now, is yaakov katz, a senior columnist at the jerusalem post, and a Senior Fellow at the jewish people policy institute. Thanks so much for being with us thank you so with the ramadan deadline upon us, israels Prime Minister netanyahu is vowing to defy President Bidens red line and invade rafah with hostage its due to talks at an impasse and more than 1 million palestinians sheltering in rafah so not only could this trigger a rift between the us and israel, but the International Community phi is a Ground Invasion will be catastrophic for hostages. And civilians. Whats your response to all this i think that we have to processes that are moving at the same time and each are connected one to the other. Israel would like to try to reach a deal that would secure the release of the majority of the hostages, or at least those that we know to still be alive. And is using the threat of an Offensive Inside Rafah in Southern Gaza strip to try to motivate hamas, as well as the qataris where the patrons of cammas to push the Terrorist Leaders who are on the ground inside gaza to agree to a deal, the americans are also trying to avoid that offensive in the south of gaza, which might have some legitimacy. We could talk about that. But wants to get israel into that place where it can reach a deal. It hit l sides had he used ramadan, which begins today as the kind of deadline and the clock that was ticking down towards it. But no one has reached that deal yet. And the question really will come down to how much longer is israel willing to hold back and wait with the impending offensive in rafah for this possible hell that has yet to come. Yeah. Lets look at that because negotiations for the ceasefire and hostage release remained stalled over israels demand that hamas provide a list of which hostages are alive and which are dead and confirm the ratio of hostages to palestinian prisoners to be exchanged while hamas is demanding a person im glenn ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of israeli troops and for all displaced people to return to northern gaza. So what is the next move with these negotiations, if that is the Sticking Point . These negotiations are extremely complicated. Rosemary is i think we all know after weeks and months now and actually watching how they go back and forth. We saw over the weekend the Israeli Intelligence Chief Meeting in jordan with the director of the cia, william burns. These talks are ongoing and President Biden continuously repeats that he hopes that a deal is possibly on the horizon. But i think that israel has made some, demands that makes sense, right . Israel wants to know which of its people are alive, who are the hostages that it has the potential to return to israel because im a hunter and 34 who have been held in gaza for almost 160 days now, israel does not yet know what their fate is. Cammas cynically holds on to these people and does not reveal what it is, what statuses, whether theyre alive, theyre dead, or injured. Israel knows absolutely nothing. And israel also doesnt want to commit to complete cessation of the war while its willing to agree to a got 67 weeks ceasefire, its not committing that. It wont go back in and continue to fight against hamas because lets remember, a ceasefire would keep coming hamas now in power, in control of gaza is still in possession of weapons and capabilities that could allow it to carry out another october 7 style attack in the future. And meantime, we are seeing more antinetanyahu protests in israel. We saw some pictures there as you were speaking to us and critics are suggesting he doesnt want the war to end because it keeps him in power. And protects him from prosecution. What do you say that netanyahu has long been accused and been suspected of being maybe ulterior motives here. I dont think that thats whats really behind the war. Obviously not this was the attack by hamas against israel in the massacre of over 1,200 people on a single day inside israel however, the continuation of the war, the way its being managed, the failure to essentially outlined what the day after this war will look like or the refusal to do so by the Israeli Government does raise some Question Marks of why netanyahu is refusing to do this. And were now seeing that rosemary play out with the fight in the growing tension between President Biden and Prime Minister netanyahu as scott referred to before the raising, an increasing rhetoric between these two about President Biden saying that its time, yeah, who is working actually against the interest of the people of israel . Can you snapping back at the president , israeli us need to retain this alliance and continued to Work Together because of the nature of threats that we all face in the middle east. And in this region. And i think that unfortunately were seeing a bit of politics mv these waters on both sides right now and humanitarian aid is set to arrive in gaza by sea. The us will then start work on the floating pier, which will receive future aid. But this will take time to build. Of course, how much concern is there within israel for the starving Palestinian Civilians caught in the middle of israels war with hamas and paying the ultimate price yeah, there is a tragedy that is unfolding inside the gaza strip. And unfortunately there are civilians who are paying the price and theyre being held hostage by a terrorist entity, hamas, which continues to control gaza, continues to attack israel and continues to hold on to israel for the hostages. I think rosemary, theres an easy solution here if the hamas government of gaza truly cares for its people, it would release israeli hostages immediately. It would stop attacking israel. It would lay down its arms and you would see a free flow of aid into gaza, like never before, but we have to understand that at the time of fighting, at a time of war, any country and israel included needs to be careful where that aid goes and who is in charge of it while its trying at the same time to fight an enemy, but also try to care for the people of gaza who are those uninvolved civilians. This is not an easy task for any country in the world to deal with. Yaakov katz joining us from jerusalem. Many thanks. Appreciate you local leaders in gaza are pleading for food, clean water, and other aid. As ramadan begins, theyre also asking for the help with providing essential Services Like Waste Management and sanitation, which are part of infrastructure destroyed or damaged by israel in the war. On sunday, the us and jordan conducted an airdrop containing the equivalent of 11,000 500 meals into northern gaza. Though thats not nearly enough for millions of starving palestinians. And cyprus is working with the us, the uae, and European Partners to create a maritime corridor to deliver a directly to gaza. The president of cyprus had said the first ship was due to leave sunday in rafah. The mood ahead of ramadan is grim with families struggling to find fresh and affordable food or warm about this years ramadan is different from previous years. First of all, we are far away from our loved ones, our families relatives, and friends in the north. Everything is different. Even in the market. Its different. Things are missing. There were no ramadan essentials everything is expensive and sometimes on available as, the humanitarian crisis in gaza grows, cnn has gathered a list of vetted organizations that are on the ground responding, and you can find details on how now you can help on our website. Thats cnn. Com slash impact will several major News Agencies have withdrawn an image of catherine the Princess Of Wales, and her three children claiming the photo has been manipulated. It was released sunday buying Kensington Palace, the First Official image of the princess since her Abdominal Surgery in january. The picture also included message from her thanking the public for its support, while also marking mothers day in the uk cnn has conducted its own initial review of the image and identified at least two areas which appear to show some evidence of potential manipulation. And if you look closely, the first area includes some potential altering of Princess Charlotte sleevecat, both and the second area under scrutiny is a zipper on the lefthand side ahead of the jacket, the princess is wearing. The questions surrounding the photo have prompted a lot of speculation, particularly on social media and earlier, i spoke with royal biographer and author Sally Bedell Smith about the controversy what is happened really over the past few months is there has been a kind of sort of momentum thats been building particularly on social media. As you mentioned, so many conspiracy theories. And this, obviously this photograph was theyre to access everything down to reassure people that the princes of wales is on the man that shes looking healthy, which it i dont think anybody has contradicted the fact that this is a genuine photograph of her and her children. I think where it its the end. Its been out of control is speculation. Well, first of all, the photo agency three of the four biggest photo Agency Agencies have pulled, pulled the image, which im sure its happened before, but ive never heard of it and theres this of the photo having been doctored. Now, the motive for this photo was to reassure people and it sort of boggles the mind that anybody would be involved in manipulating it, knowing how important it is to be an accurate reflection of where she is right now cnn has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment and coming up next hour. Will have my full interview with world biographer sally al smith.
