And frankly, no one has that right. It is simply a violation of international law to deport civilians against their will. The Palestinians also regard Gaza as sovereign territory. So any changes to the status of that territory would obviously be the subject of Palestinian rejection. For a number of reasons, this does not seem to be a feasible proposal.

And I don't frankly think that it is what Donald Trump is suggesting. I think what he wants is to create a set of circumstances in which Palestinian civilians decide to leave of their own accord, as probably upwards of 150,000 people already have.

It is. I mean, the negotiations on phase two of this protracted ceasefire have yet to really begin. And it is hard to see how Mr. Trump's intervention is likely to increase the chances of success. If you are in Hamas's shoes right now, you're thinking, what exactly are we negotiating about? If the end result of all of this is that Gaza is to be simply destroyed,

depopulated, not just Hamas losing its political and military control, but the entire population removed, then what incentive is there for Hamas to release the remaining hostages, dead or alive, that it still has? And so that is going to be a I think, on the other hand, Donald Trump has made it easier for Benjamin Netanyahu to proceed because he's given Israel a bit of a gift here.

It's something that has caused Benjamin Netanyahu's hardline right-wing colleagues to say that they're not planning on leaving the government just yet. So it's given him a bit of political breathing room on his own side. But it's hard to see the negotiations working with this prospect looming in the distance.

The M23 had said that they had declared that ceasefire for humanitarian reasons, but people were shocked when there were reports that they attacked Nyabibwe in South Kivu Province earlier today. And, of course, the government reacted to that saying that they were, of course, violating their own ceasefire and it showed that the announcement was merely a ploy.

It's raising key questions about the intentions of the group. After they captured Goma, they were intending to cross over to South Kivu to capture Bukavu, which is the capital of South Kivu, just a few kilometers away from Ruzizi on the Rwandan side of the border where I'm speaking to you from. But then they said that they had no intentions to capture Bukavu or other territories.

But today's fighting in Nyabibwe just showed that, of course, they might have just had other plans for the future. So what does it appear that they want? What are they after? Basically, they are seeking an expansionist agenda because after they conquered Goma, they believe that it's time for them to capture more territories.

And their leader said that they have plans to even reach the capital Kinshasa. They say they are fighting to protect the rights of minority groups, the minority Tutsi which they belong to. So they say that the Congolese government has not been treating the minorities well, so they are fighting to protect their rights and also improve governance in the country.

Yeah, basically, that incident came to most people as some sort of shock. Because when the reports that Goma had been taken over by the rebels last week, there was a massive jailbreak, which of course led to the escape of thousands of inmates. But then there were these reports that in the midst of those who were there, there were women.

who were raped, allegedly, of course, by some male inmates there, and that's also attributable to the UN. Basically, people were not able to understand how this could have happened. At this time, verifying information is difficult also because of the fact that in terms of international recognition, there is no recognisable authority in Goma now.
