Okay, that is uh, libby wise spokesperson for the id. Yeah, so many thanks for joining us. Thank you. But spring in steven hoff know from the conrad on our foundation a center right. Think tank with close links to the opposition. Christian democrats here in germany. Hes head of the office for the palestinian territories and joins us now from ramallah. Sir, there is the increasing violence between israel and Palestinian Militants in the west bank. How is the security situation there now . Right now thats where we come in, the west bank. And this is a very tricky. Com. Um because theres a general strike today. So people stay at home shops of lowest. Everyones watching the tv. But because of the past 2 to 4 years, and theyre rising militarization of wes thing. And because of the announcements by hamas yesterday, calling for their support as to the ons as there is somethings going to happen in the west bank. And the security situation will be very dire. The next days that what happens in the us troops cannot be seen disconnected. From from the west bank, right. You just heard a spokesperson there for the idea of saying that they do not speak for the Prime Minister of israel, who has asked all of the residents of gaza to get out. How do you think that will go down with the people in law . I think 1st of all its, i mean nobody can imagine what the next stage will look like. Um, there are plenty of scenarios as being the, this rounding escalation is still in the accounting phase. In there, its very hard to say what will happen in the next days . I think the Statement People should leave because through that was perceived. The moment that was damians as something which is impossible. I mean the motors are closed, but she is not an exit option. There are no shelters, so people here didnt really like the we just advised the brother of a scene, a cynical coming by the Prime Minister. But also the people are very much for speaking to you in the west, spain they have also know to leave and they are buried that this escalation is not only being. Ready on the gaza strip, but then we might see invasions and incursions, also posting in cities in the west bank. Im curious about something less than a month ago. You actually predicted a major conflict in the region which showings in a high gas toll. What did you know about this that these railways did not . I mean from the i did not know more than then the 3 of these. Um, i think it was kind of rhetorical how the, how much they reacted in the past 2 years after the major escalation of 2021. Focusing on the development of flight conditions and the javascript. Going into negotiations and direct invitations with these weight needs on a prison us for you. Whereas they were targeting, the hotspots in the west bank was on groups with weapons with know how, especially in the north and west bank, a novelist jeanine, undermining also the authority of those to, you know, sorry t. So her muscles never really had probably never had an interest and setting down for negotiations. And so also do that the expectation maybe by some of the is really security establishment. The tomas which has more interest in the west bank will not go into full fledged confrontation or from the goddess that was it was probably the longest we can see us since yesterday. And her mother is very much aware of what they are doing right now. They choose this policy for confrontation with all the daughter comes in princess for the certification of population. And the Goddess Group know they are ready for the company. And i think this was already visible a few weeks ago when they allow people to demonstrate the gods. And it was visible in the last round of escalation that goes to this number. Do you have making it possible for them to fire rockets and nothing to appearing . So a must changed also in the past weeks. And thats what led to my impression that the major exploration that is us even off not from the conrad on our foundation in ramallah many thanks for your perspective, sir. Thank you. Are assembled, lucia is a journalist base and gaza where he joins us now by phone. Nice to have you with us again. Earlier in the show weve heard Prime Minister netanyahu tell residents in jobs are to quote leave now, because we will operate forcefully everywhere. Is that a feasible option for civilians in gaza . Course not all that is controlled by you and the builders probably is gravel in egypt. And gasoline so small a 23 at 2. 92. 2000000. That the nation living in gauze us to know shelters and all the new places to go. Its over 50 lated. Its one of the most Populated Areas in the work. And usually in the previous words, then kick people and some people, especially in the older area, they use that to me, take their houses and, and then and went to the on the schools which some of them are targeted. I can previous occasions and today some, some older people receiving Text Messages from ideas including me, asking the people to lead their houses and to go to the knowns shelters. I mean, nobody knows like, which is the known shelter. No, theres no show to st. Garza as a shelter. Yes. Tell us more about the situation there today. Israel says it will stop supplying electricity, fuel and goods, the gaza. How do you plan to cope under these circumstances . If this is a disaster, a real disaster, i mean, it looks down, but its different from it just a t already for before this goes, i had electricity age, i was on the that ones off and the supply from the cushion he comes from mainly 2 sources hes way a lines which is the biggest amount of electricity under then frontier. Ready megawatts and the boy station, which was formed by as well back in 2006. And since then, dallas, i suffering from sold to slick, to city electricity to effect all aspects of life and all the hospitals, water supply treatments and of, of to wage. And o they were saying in, in dallas i affected by the, so already goes, i was in the, in on, on, when are these all started with that with data to city shortage. And with this uh, cut off the supplies that would be uh, best to fix for the people in the system using balance and strip. If youll forgive me, what im hearing in your voices is resignation. And youre, youre on the ground there. Does it seem like the is really strikes your witnessing are in fact, trying to minimize or avoid civilian casualties . Well, this is very hard to say because many, most of the buildings where, where, where the targeted at over and at the time at winter yesterday or today, or facility in the nation areas may be, you know, like, its really a tune. So saying that they are containing some, some how my for, from affiliated but its still like go, as i said before, garza is overpopulated, area and, and buildings are very close to each other. So no, no, no way to, to avoid. And, and the casually keep among different. Ready things if were talking about the number of, of casualties is called you for the minister of health. We are talking about hundreds of police here, 300 and were killed and over 1000 were injured. Among them are children and women. So what we can say, yes is williams were there were, were affected and, and, and killed gun insurance. Okay. And is a journalist hudson producer in guns and many thanks for your reporting. Thank you.

The said, quote, we do not stand huge role in this battle and evolved to escalate. If is why it expands its submitted to the operations. Well, how much, what can you tell us about fears of a broader conflict as well . So far as sources close to hezbollah said that the group wanted to send a message or thought anything to the students and the clear but limited message to is why it is. And this explains the cautious call on the board as right now, the escalation is a that so far within the established rooms of engagement. Now in terms of the, the balance of position, if it goes expressed for years of escalation and have been warning, has beloved from tracking to live and on into a world with this, right .
