1:30 am
it dw, thank you so much. these are the news on a full day from the note. follow the 5 months into the war and gaza and deadly chaos around and aid. con boy has glaringly highlighted the desperation and climbing death toll among civilians. the cottage of humanity is something they haven't seen protected by guess this week on complex own is not to find the former egyptian foreign minister and long time diplomat of what points as egypt have no choice. but to consider opening its border, 2 thousands on to monetary and grounds. have the shocking scenes of suffering, process conflict to an inflection point. now the sony welcome to complex own. thank you. tragic deaths around and aid con boy in northern gauze,
1:31 am
have highlighted the desperation of civilians for food and the lack of security in the enclave. after everything that you've seen in the past days is it time for egypt to open its border to civilians from gaza. a tom opening the pods of indians is this would be participating in a pre meditation, consistent effort by these ladies to decrease the density of palestinians on their own territory. and if something was pleasant me, we would not do because we supported by the city and state side by side with us that we continue to take part of the tenants in need of medical supervision or medical help. we take scopes, but a large scale, a number of palestinians were basically, we were playing into these very acts. but you know, it just has certainly made that red line quite clear. they will not accept any force displacement of palestinians, but how do you balance the humanitarian desperation?
1:32 am
i mean, you know, saved the children just out this past week, saying that we are quote, witnessing a mass killing of children in slow motion because there is no more food left. how do you, how do you balance that with your red lines? it's an absolutely great question. we are in a very difficult situation. we cannot allow products that use the star. we don't want them to be shot it at the same time. we don't want to be forced into a position where we collaborate in directly with these ratings, but by decreasing the best, the best cities. so what they're doing is provide you as much assistance as we can turn the order we had dropped also just at about 48 hours ago. and we continue to host negotiations with each varies and the cost of these to try to deal with all these issues. but i guess my point is, you know, what point does egypt have no other choice? morally then to open the border because you know, we know what this is not a crisis of you're making,
1:33 am
but does egypt need to do more to help the people on the ground? i think we are doing quite a bit, but yes, i agree with you. there will be a situation where if they're forced across the board, we will have to make very difficult decision. but how we respond to we. we clearly are not going to care for our students, but that being said, uh, it should not be interpreted as meaning. push them across the border. and we will that yes, because pushing out across the board is not only a violation of punish penny and rights. it's also by the way, if violation of egypt is 80 percent we know of consequence. yeah. and you know, i'd like to ask you a little bit about what is happening right now on the ground at the border because there's been a lot of questions about that. egypt has been building some sort of security perimeter at the border last month. your foreign minister classified as what he called maintenance on the border is in egypt planning an area to house palestinians in case of and it's really offensive on rafa
1:34 am
n o also. i don't know exactly it, but let me tell you what i do now. the area where there is construction was originally an area of license buildings. they were taken down at the forward, moved out. the government rebuilt that area and invited the junction to go back to that, that they have not yet gotten back to that period. and it's something that has been going on for over a year. you had the, the guys, a breakout during the last 5 months. so the pressure also became, uh, what are we going to do is the, by the city is, are forced across support. we will have to deal with a very dire you might charity situation, but we will also have to deal with the situation where we will not in any way direct or indirect condone is really action that virus by the city and rights. and i suspect, but also that violates the injection as
1:35 am
a piece of view. and that needs to be clearly understood. yes. so let me ask you a little bit more about the diplomacy that might be going on behind closed doors right now because of israel's foreign minister has said that they have to and i'm quoting here, deal with rafa because they cannot just leave him off there. and that it would coordinate with egypt to address concerns about refugees. what conversations do you think are happening right now between egypt and israel, especially when it comes to, you know, potential incentives, for example. i mean, you know, money and incentives for egypt to take refugees wouldn't hurt what it this is not an issue of money and it said, this is an issue. we are committed to it to states, use the to stay the part of city and part of that of the just states is guys in the west. like if we were to, to reduce the numbers there, that would be very, very dave, some is a politicians in the cabinets have opened. he said, yes,
1:36 am
we need to move by the seniors out of guys that are into egypt or even into your and we'll fight finance and can do so that's the of the current policy. we can make this look all but we have made it also clear that we will not participate in this process. uh and i can tell you that effects on national security, and that's a violation of the piece of it. taking it back to getting aid and air dropping of 8 is picking up even the united states has joined in. there are currently discussions on how else to expand the flow, and you know, it's been reported that president biden spoke last week with president. i'll cc about urgency of negotiations and bringing more 8 into gaza. i mean, as egypt your next door, you're trying to get calm boys in. do you see the potential, if anything shifting on the ground so that more a can enter yes, i do see if there's a hostage, a partial hostility change versus incarcerated, and
1:37 am
a temporary cease fire that can facilitate a going in the least most recent incident that we saw just put 3 days ago, this was 8 actually you brought in and organized by palestinians and his race. but given that it was a caustic song, is raised themselves. the fact the, the group of people who gathered around these vehicles, they are so you can't have a state a substantial amount of it going in, in a war zone in a culture. so there's no way to work secure area. so yes, we want, why are we austic the negotiations on the safe side also to change? one of the reasons stop getting people killed, but also about for more effective. you mentioned in a right and just to pick up on one thing that you said there, i mean the idea is actually said that indeed they did fire, but they didn't actually fire on individuals who were seeking to get
1:38 am
a. but again there's, there's 2 sides of the story. so i just want to highlight that that's, that's the perspective that they are bringing in and the official statements. let's take it back to the ceasefire talks because they, they were due at the time of this interview. they were due to kick off in cairo, egypt, and could tar have been mediating between israel and from austin. and your foreign minister has said in the past days that he's optimistic about a temporary cease fire being reached before ramadan. what do you think that she sees that might point to optimism for deal? well, again, you have to send him some. let me tell you what i think he meant he meets up. if you simply listen to all of the international uh, rhetoric, everybody and everybody has been telling these rays and thomas, let's have these 5 before rum about. they're worried about the situation on the ground, humanitarian political,
1:39 am
but they're also worried about it breaking out beyond the borders in the states on the, on, on his base board. so there's also this track of the expansion. uh, that's, that is what i think we're seeing. now again, 2 points to fabulous here. one, this is not a full safe spot, nor as far as hostages fix this as a partial positive exchange versus those incarcerated and a temporary spot. so it will be a positive step towards a complete ceasefire. you're not going to get with the addition of the conflict or, and the ability to start rebuilding what has been destroyed unless you get a complex. but as one of the, you know, the traditional mediators between these parties. um, so what is a little bit about how you think the pressure on those parties might be right now? because me, we have world leaders speaking out loudly against the scenes of suffering right now
1:40 am
and gaza even the us is real strongest allies, seems frustrated. do you see this as an inflection point in the crisis? do you feel the mood could change the dynamics on the ground again? so it goes up to that question. i think it does, but it's in the section point from either way. we start a process of trying to deal with the imaginary situation. we're substantially and hopefully then the post politics, the policies and the security situation or inflection point will be that it will work to move towards a highly volatile regional context. i don't mean sol slips out is where he was. they told me you see everything from tension and lexie to the lebanese border to the syrian border stuff. right. what's happening inside guys that problems on our border as well?
1:41 am
this is going to break out of hand, so the inflection point is either we find a way to slow this boxes down and try to resolve. it's always going to break out beyond control. so you've made the birds there, basically from the temporary cease fire talks. now, to something a little bit more, a longer term and there seems to be a lot of will and diplomatic momentum. we have to say from both arab states and israel's allies, including the us and the u. k. to secure such a long term lasting piece that would indeed include a 2 state solution. you know, you, you've seen over many decades the, all of the previous efforts that have failed is something different this time yes. the college of getting humanity is something we haven't seen project so it was always a horrible incident in on, inside israel or a month brought us to new territories into such a nation of meters by the way,
1:42 am
not by the other side, but private, wrong people. so we've seen that, but to see 5 months, 30000 people killed, at least because there are those under the wrong that we don't count for 70 percent of home women and children start. we have not seen that in a very long, long time. so that's something which, frankly, i come from egypt, we were the 1st to have a piece of paper with these ladies. and that's almost 50 years ago or 50 years after the 1st disagreement with isn't to say, not only a lack of control, you know, a comprehensive piece completely, but to see the level of cubic and, and, and, and, and encounter buyers is frankly quite shocking. and it, it, it really birds and my god as how have you been part of this process for so long and as, and as you are coming from egypt,
1:43 am
i'd like to ask you about the saudi lead group of arab states that includes egypt, jordan katara, the u a e, which is reportedly now pushing this post floor plan that would include a reformed palestinian authority, govern and gaza. and a reversible pass toward a 2 state solution from the perspective of arab diplomacy. what could be offered to sweeten the deal for israel because i mean, you highlighted the trauma of these societies, is that the violence, the blood shed, there is no appetite right now for 2 state solution, israel after october 7th. so that's why i mean, when i left, we talked about what i said can be done rather than what's on the table by the hour route. because i don't know actually how far they've gone. ok, i said crisis and concert. we need to say, i'll give you 10 quick points, intense x, say fire hostage exchange doesn't cost the rate that you want
1:44 am
a terry support uh, security arrangements between palestinians and as ways and goes into the withdrawal of israeli forces. uh a, a declaration. so i recognize you find a city and state based on 6 months, 67 by say, states under occupation by the mustang it's, it's, it's stopped by the city and state under occupation based on 67 reformation by the error countries of their error. they would summit, where they said they would all have relations with as well. if there is an end of, of occupation, i want to put all of that under a security council resolution. every one of these points, by the way, a supported by oh gosh, i create i want to have that adopted by the tasha by the security council in an affirmative vote. and then we go to the parks because that will also require by the
1:45 am
way, elections, it has with elections that aren't quite a city. it's essentially the government may ask the settings. yep. i mean it's, it's, you know, you're presenting here a plan, but i, i also want to ask you how you get that planned on with the mood that is currently on the ground. these really cabinet right now has said that any recognition of a palestinian statehood in the wake of the mos terror attacks on israel, on october 7th, which as we know, killed 1200 people and 250 were taken hostage. they've said, and i'm quoting here, it would give a huge reward to unprecedented terrorism. what's your response to that? we're not dealing with one part of the problem rather than the other. what i'm doing here with is the whole issue, and i'm not actually asking these varies and palestinians accepted at the beginning website because it, us, egypt, russia, china upfront you. okay. you know, we all support it, just a so huge. let's agree to this and update that package and go with it. so he just
1:46 am
varies and by the city showing that the okay, you have is these fire, you'll have secure, it will have to will have secured. but as soon as we'll have a release from what's happening, you're going to have to establish in your government, send it to deal with guys and the west bank. so we're dealing with the whole thing is to get it and slowly within a 2 year period, we can get there. if you go to the, to the, to the address today, cuz i know you're probably on your mind. okay. wife cathy, alex, take charge of guys and manage that and provide security. and that's a question which injections i've been at as for hundreds of times. it's probably the most logical, you know, responsible question. anybody can think of because we will not be surrogates, varies, but you know, there's that they were preserved. let me just continue. but here's the thing. yeah . they what they will, but i just need to follow up with you on that because you know and ask you to
1:47 am
actually respond to what is real has put forward. they set out this competing plan for postwar garza, it does not include a 2 state solution. it does include overseeing security in the enclave. you've talked about security there. in fact, netanyahu says that israel should have security control over the philadelphia cord, or we know that's that borders own between garza and egypt. do you see any circumstances you've talked about coming together? do you see any circumstances under which egypt would be willing to accept that or absolutely not, because that's basically me. so what are the alternatives we occupied a security perspective? this is my point. yeah, let me just tell you. if you tell me that this 10 point plan or a point of a number of points you want, what ultimately i need show at the city and state down the road, then you can get anything and it will not involve is way the security supervision over guess the out of state will i that's what to you. ready to help rebuild not to
1:48 am
know what the right to help me build and will help train and create mechanisms for better management engaged with the westman, but they're not going to be so if it's a visually secure, there's absolutely no way that they would accept that for you more, the reason why say that responsible. if we were to put addiction forces or training is in, we have a piece of human with these weights. and these win is enter amendments here. what do we do to them? we end up shooting, but as soon as it is ready, it's not going to happen. you have highlighted all the challenges spoken, but what all the alternatives they go through is give me a structure for a plan. and then we can look at, okay, is, is a guarantee managed by and our international contingent, orange national contingent, palestinian contingent with our oversight. the details are, are, are plausible. and we can look at creative solutions,
1:49 am
but not solutions that end up with the facto is very optimization of guys that cannot. but i, we, i, i look again, we was a 1st design, a piece of human with this. so there is a lot of security. we accept that and we're looking at ways to achieve that, but only based on you can't have security unless you solve the problem. the problem is occupation or, and these ladies want more transparency and more effectively security that we can, that we could look at, provided that the principal and the doctor patients that let's, let's move on because um, you know, egypt has been also part of this rethink of politics and palestinians, air power, sending areas and part of you know, the plans for potential governance within gauze itself. how do you see the prospects for fragmented palestinian politics to be able to unite after the war? because any of the palestinian authority president lockwood have boss, is looking set to stay in his position along with his security chiefs. do you think palestinians will accept that and that the p a might administer garza is widely
1:50 am
unpopular? let me put it this way. the only way to really administrator does that in a way that's the effective or part of sentience. and also we also were accepted by these ladies without occupation is to have a policy and published and you understand whether we liked it or not. promise have less support before october 7th. now they have more support, not because of what they did, but because it is a reaction to, to what they did that kind of without the doubt a load is a p h that's already basically the ability of, excuse me, uh, but we need to rebuild that it may require new leaders, i've not had lost it to that. all i'm saying is that, yes, you're, you're heading to the point right on the, on,
1:51 am
on the head. we need to get published in use to look for a new for me. that's why i said, we need to elections, and we needed to stick to the government. and there's both, what's back and guess there's a big debate, also raging right now, about whether or not to what extent her mazda should be involved in all of that. egypt for its part has acted as a mediator between our mazda and it's foes, israel. in fact, as we've highlighted, it's also worked with her boss in recent years to counter and as long as i can search and see in the sign, i. but you know, for you personally, when you look at the situation after the horrors of october, 7th can be really be part of a post war scenario. in this scenario, if it's a post worst scenario, where we continue to have cyprus, a violence, they'll be part. there's no question, they'll be fine because the symmetrical, even though many countries around the world consider them to be a terrorist organization. the united states, a do israel. and so this isn't a, this is the be careful year. i didn't stay a postwar scenario where you have peace. i said if we continue to have
1:52 am
a cycle of buttons they, they, they are others. other forms of comments will continue to exercise what they pursue as their policy. what i quit 40 forwards is i want to rebuild about a senior constituency that is effectively supported and there's no way to it just is to use if parties don't want to accept that, then suddenly they get qualified themselves. they part of the process. if they do, they will have to change. and let's also be civically, can you want, who are we to go shooting with now? the peer a positive change. so it was as little as you did with now. what was us end up with now? what was it? my question for you is how much so they are, is it my issue is not whether they're, they're not, they are the my issue is how do i built a,
1:53 am
a scenario that allows for addictions for our, at this very piece, including but it seems like a piece, those are the one piece we will that work again, but frankly, i'm the one that we're being asked to talk, thomas, who's relations with each of we're always very, very care. uh, but we're asked to talk to them now and then we hear, but they're not part of the parents. well, okay, so it was, we talked so then i mean, you know, when you look at all of the scenarios that are possible coming out of this, 1st of all, how do you think the war and gaza ends? and when do you see it ending? uh, do you think you'll see a permanent and size dawslet any time soon? i don't, i don't. i don't say you will see a short term complete, and you will probably fine get what hostage agreement temporaries fire and then
1:54 am
another. uh, but then you'll have outbreaks from the agreement and regression. uh, neither side really is way to make a strategic decision be got these varies or how much. uh, and that's, that is what is required. the that's why at the beginning i said let's put together a package that we outside the region. that's how we, we beyond the parties exit. and then we start talking to the party's, their center, to see if we can sell this piece of me. i, i agree with you, they set them up today is not for 2 states use, but actually it's the only ones we'll get them out of this process. as a former negotiator do, i think i could go and, and do it tomorrow. of course. now, the state's lawson cannot be reached then what i mean. what realistic alternative do you see to a 2 state solution that can provide peace in the region or is there not?
1:55 am
there, there is not, which is the others alternative is a once the reality which would be a continuous concept, same person is res because they almost one national identity on a very small piece of land and neither side will give it up completely to the other . furthermore, if you don't allow that equal rights, you will have conflicts with in the one state, so to speak to you. she is extremely difficult at one states and usually is competing boss as it is. and what's the reality us going to your concept? not off on a um, we have unfortunately run out of time. we thank you so much for joining us here on conflicts on thank you for your time. thank you. the
