missio and drone i talked last week. the worry is asked and he's right, the military responds might provoke abroad at war in the region. while these ready to government says it will respond with prime minister benjamin netanyahu promising allies only that each country would make its own decision. so today when you take a look at the complicated web of loyalties among arab countries in the region, i'm so gale in berlin and this is the day the money was due. i sent girlfriends for the support and defending israel. israel has the complete solidarity. iran will face consequences. this is right, is all making a decision to act. we hope they do so to wave does as little to escalate this as possible because we will make our decisions on our own. the state of israel will do

what it needs to defend itself against iran and its proxy like hezbollah. well, the heat is not for anymore oil into the fire, but the real lead is to re focus back on a mass back on the hostages back on getting the agent back to me on the back on getting a pause in the company. because also coming up as people plan this summer holidays this year, the message from the matter of fact a says don't com. it is a set the media out of 7000000000 people in the world to every one hopes in their dreams to come to venice. at least one was equal to the song you'd even need. i mean, i've always done a nice yeah. you've done the math and, and 7000000000 people can't all be physically present in venice at the same time. they don't just welcome to the day, germany's foreign minister has concluded her visit to israel, aimed at diffusing tensions with iran. alarm and bad,

well met with his writing fine medicine, benjamin netanyahu to discuss the full amount from the lines unprecedented. aerial attack of the weekend during the day she meant to express, present is that had solved in jerusalem. like many of israel's allies job and he has been urging the escalation in the conflict you need is meanwhile amazing and brussels to focus on tensions in the middle east . and the war in the ukraine. francis presidents is called on the a you to impose more sanctions on against around following last week's attack. some countries also what the block decode for a c spot in gaza and the release of hostages held by a mass. and this is around considers this response to be around is attack and continues to fight. it's for games time. i think gaza that a fee is over, where these regional tensions could have the complex parts of the world. with many bibles vying for influence, israel's neighbor, jordan, and regional heavy weights,

saudi arabia both appear to help defend israel from iran's missiles, to the surprise of many countries that are involved in a complicated balancing act. to make it difficult to predict the future actions. when the drones and missiles from a run came flying towards israel, many of them paused to jordan. this space, not only did the arab kingdom help shoot them down, it also opened its s space to his riley and us planes seeking to intercept the amount insist that was strictly to protect his own citizens. but jordan's king abdullah has to balance competing interests. jordan is pro weston and likes to keep in step with his allies, especially the united states, plus jordan. she has a loan boda with israel and once peaceful relations. a mine often works behind the scenes with these riley authorities. but israel is born in gaza has

outraged many jordanians. one 5th of the population is of palestinian descent, including king of done as a wife. the government has vociferously condemned to the rule, but the kingdoms perceive defense of israel in the face of been rainy and miss silas has an good many jordan's powerful neighbors, saudi arabia also faces a difficult balancing act. the sunni kingdom views she, i'd run as its biggest regional rival, but last year it re established relations with to run both the saudis and the united arab emirates of thought to improve ties with iran and israel. prior to israel's intervention and goes it saudi crown. prince mohammed been so mind looks boys to sign a deal with the us, where the kingdom might have recognized israel in return for security guarantees from washington. but off to 6 months of war in gaza on tens of thousands of

palestinians dead dots of the table. for now, still are the officials say both the saudis, on the amorous shed intelligence with the americans warning that iran was planning an attack on these rail. that probably allowed for a most successful defensive response by israel and this allies. the challenge for our leaders is to keep the us on side well, not endangering that delicate relationship with iran or being seen by their own people as supporting israel or the expense of public opinions in gaza. wexler, a senior director of the roof, it can be re center released programs at the atlantic council. welcome to the w a. let's start with that complicated balancing access, facing our countries in this conflict does future co operation with arab states like saudi arabia, phone, part of israel is calculation when it comes to calibration gets response to iran's

attack. absolutely, uh one of the real differences in what we've seen now and what we saw just a little while ago is that the israel's war. and it also was dividing it from its arab neighbors. israel's conflict with around is bringing is real together with this era. neighbors was a very different dynamic. so too much and you risk inflaming the, the inflaming allies that you've spent decades. i tried to get on the side as indeed the average of, uh, arab is very upset about israel's war and now as well, the average, our government is very concerned about the spread that around poses. and so it's a balancing act that these governments have to do. most of these governments also have no love lost for him off. so it's

a balancing act that they've been doing now ever since october 2nd. and jordan's position seems particularly precarious. how does jordan's king abdullah fall in strong public support for palestinians, which choosing down to a rainy and missiles wants a very clear narrative for him. he is defending the sovereignty of georgia, indiana aerospace. the radians entered into his aerospace that was an invasion of sovereignty. without the permission of jordan. and so he was fully in his rights to defend his country. and as people from those, that's the narrative that she is presenting towards people. that's a narrative that he should have been to the world that is also legally and practically correct. it will also be viewed by some as a support for his room. and is there any benefits to a room for the jordan shooting down in writing in my files? the land is trying to walk a very fine line of their own. they're trying to, uh,

enhanced insurance against israel because they're very upset about the success that his realize had. and targeting a number of senior randy and military leaders. they're also trying to not promote a wider regional war. they're very happy with the situation that they have. and they're trying to create a new normal, which allows them to strike directly out as real from the very 1st time. and for that to somehow be accepted as a, as a way of behavior that um, a little lines with the rest of their belie behavior throughout the region will pick that apart and have a firstly, why did a ron decide that now was the time to attack israel directly instead of threw proxies really because of israel's success. back in the beginning of the month, they uh, they targeted the number of senior leaders,

including one that was very important to the coach for us. one that has a personal relationship with the supreme leader. you know, and, and they told him, and that was seen by a rad or something that they had to respond to. they don't like the fact that it's real, so successful of taking out their, their channels. okay. and so this new normal that you mentioned, the tell us how iran benefits from that, as this is a part of the uranium playbook for many decades. now what they do is they march up the escalation ladder until they're pushed down. they march back up again, and what they tried to do is create an environment in which they can get the world to accept behavior that would otherwise be considered completely unacceptable. they are literally the only country in the world that regime we use our search and weapon to read a non state actors and instructional them to fire them across international border to intentionally target civilians. but they do that so routinely that we don't even

comment on it because they've had their allies and has belong, move tens of thousands of his realities out of their home in the north. a year ago that would have, you would have said that was a prelude to war, but they've done that below. or they have their allies, the fees in the bottom and up straight shut down all international shipping again a year ago, that would have been and probably we weren't, they've been able to do that below the threshold of war. and now they're trying to establish the ability to, to get israel directly from a rating and territory. so given that new normal as you describe your day for israel does act militarily and decisively. what does the ron do? does it go back up about escalation law that doesn't want a full on direct conflict with israel? randall is a wonderful, i'm conflict in originally familiar with short, wonderful, and complex. israel hasn't changed full in gaza right now. and, and there are other military activities that they need to do. so hopefully we won't

be in that scenario. what folks in jerusalem are trying to figure out is how did they send a signal that tells a ran that they do not accept the ability for rand to target them directly. but at the same time does not result in a wire regional war. that's what, that's why they've been taking the days to work this out in jerusalem. okay, that's very clear. thank you so much for walking us or that. but in wexler from the atlantic council, thank you. thank you very much for the international conference as far right politicians and i suppose as resumed in brussels on wednesday after police shut it down a french fall. right? politician eric, the more had been due to address the gods, but was turned away by police on tuesday evening on the orders of the local mass mass that they were concerns about public safety. the belgians prime minister

criticize the order which a quarter since overturned, the national conservative conference brought together politicians like them, gary and prime minister victor old on britain's former interior administered a similar problem, was that as well as nationalist, some fundamentalist christians, i miss all. i had of your opinion, parliamentary elections in june. so what's going on as asked brussels correspondence, rosie, but john, who was at the conference, the welcome rosie. so talk us or what happened? or yeah, i was indeed at this conference earlier. and it's basically a gathering which is meant to raise together people from the rights of the political spectrum. so from the, for the rights of the center, right, right to the far right, the different political group, things, different politicians, they have faced and put practical hurdles in guessing this event of the ground here in brussels. they struggled to find the venue, but the dates find one of the conference has kicked off on tuesday, but then a local mayor. and i should say there are 19 of the local mirrors in brussels.

we're talking but very regionalized decision making to an order and a sent in police 2 shots the, the conference. but not only to be temporary because that order by that local mirror was then overturned by a local league way of, of the belgian legal body. and it was also heavily criticized by the belgians prime minister amid all of that control oversee. well, that meant that by the time that i go to the conference earlier on wednesday, well it was back up, fully running on little late in the way of drama going on there. on the day 2 of the conference, things moving quite smoothly. it seems which different political leaders, including the former polish prime minister and the current, the 100 prime minister taking to the stage. and so what do we think the mass claims about a danger to public or the well, but a real, a political as well. the mayor has, of course, faced a lot of criticism, not only from those that were attending the conference,

who refused to his council culture, but also as i said from right, really across the political spectrum. also, the belgian prime minister, who's very much a centrist in his politics, criticized this local mer. no, he was defiance. even after the court returned his order, he said it was based on what he believed was a threat to public order. he talks about the fact that those in attendance included people, he seems to be for vocal tours. homophobes. however, he also said that he does not hide the fact that he has no type of patience for those who he describes to be as people who preach hate. no, that is so regardless of that fact, the court has made a decision that he and the mayor of acknowledges that democracy has taken its course there. but it's hard not to see this in a way that at least to the fact that there seems to have handed those politicians gathered and brussels a whole lot of extra publicity. yeah, there is, there is that. so we have always these right wing is gathered and of course the

background. so this is your opinion, parliamentary elections that began in june and how a right wing pause is expected to do in those. yeah, well look, there is a wage pulling and predictions that base parliamentary election is likely to result in a swing to the right here in brussels of the european parliament. no, the question really is just how far right? that swing is going to be the lose or is our project seems to be the green groups, but also these, the says, so center, less group, the social, some democrats, and also the centrist, renew your group. it's important to note that in the repeating parliament, it's not like some national parliaments where you might have 2 big parties at face each other off. instead, there were lots of different political good things right across the political spectrum of that is why, what it will really come down to when these selections get going. in june, of course, 2070 you members. so really it's $27.00 different elections overall is going to be the exact political arithmetic of how they end up. because the brussels observers

are going to be looking out for is how can these different groups and get together to try and get some of the sorts of a majority to pass key pieces of legislation. which of course, if you're repeating parliament's jobs so far will lose looking to be the winner. according to some fig polling is the group of you repeated services. and reform is that includes, for example, george and maloney's party, the brothers of a, of a tally. there's also likely to be a waiting or a games, at least from the even further write a group which is called identity democracy. that includes, for example, the alternative for germany party, but also maureen la, penn, national raleigh from fonts, they're expected to make some gains. i think what's going to be with the interest these particularly for legislation like climate policies, trying the making good on this big claim. it promises waste that predicted right swing, that could be more complicated moving forward. ok, thanks for taking us through that, rosie rosie. but john, in brussels, the spines canary islands. one of yours is most popular. how does

a destination since become the latest hot spots planning to tighten rules? on short term vacation rentals? spain well direct quote, 85000000 international businesses last year. tourism accounts for moving 12 percent of the economy, but many local side. the booming apartment rent of business is making the neighborhoods too expensive and service in the kinetic who's planning process space . we can to demand a great to say in local development last another european destination that's made headlines for its efforts to control mass tories is venice. and this is already banned. giant cruise ship from docking and unloading thousands of day trip is that it's just arctic center. not from next week. the city is launching a test program requiring all visitors to register for entry into the 6 weeks. those not staying overnight will have to pay a $5.00 your fee on the peak travel days. this is, matt,

is defending the policy saying it's an attempt to reduce overcrowded because you set the media out of 7000000000 people in the world to everyone hopes in their dreams to come to venice. at least one symbol of the song you even need. i mean, i've always done a nice yeah. you've done the math and stuff and 1000000000 people can't all be physically present in venice at the same time as you come in. they don't just on that belief isn't an end in itself. it's not only true that this, but then this is an example of this is why we must be served the great historic cities of the world on the sea venice and die in the crush alessandra pre on to is the new president of everybody's national tourism office. in it, she previously said that you would have direct to the lens tourism agency. she joins us tonight from brussel. so welcome to the w. so we have the matter of very fact, really believing there's a limit to the number of torres the city can handle. what do you think that limits should be as a 1st of all, having

a limit for people is a very big word because in principle we cannot stop people from travelling, nor from entering what the measure of seems to be. i guess in the idea of the mayor is to create some kind of a smaller control on who is entering. at what moment the mayor clearly preferred to be times. but what these taxes should do is they should generate very important and intelligent data that must be used in order to program back to the flux. because we should be able to know who is coming when and in, in, i mean be able to actually control in a way of the flux is in to divert that may be to a nearby destinations when there is a peak. so if you use the tax or as

a means of sort of controlling that and contributing to managing the bose, then it's a very intelligently running it. on the other hand, you're using it just to gain money. it doesn't really help is face problem with uh, over tourism. do you do? is that, is this a try and because it's not just venice that kind of have is i have to assess the boss alone are also talking about this issue. is this a rising trend or is it, is it just in certain areas? unfortunately, you may see a lot like this as if we went to sleep at the end of 2019. and we woke up now with exactly the same say it's ration even worse, because there's some new destinations, especially in like smaller destination villages or other like say, internal areas that were developed during coping thanks to the fact that we were mainly being domestic war. now. absolutely overcrowded, right?

so it is a little more worried that it seems like we haven't learned the less and it's not just numbers is a low because of the blame. the short term vacation rentals are pricing the hours of the housing market does not need to be looked at. absolutely. that needs to be uh, rules and the ones that are going to be implemented as of european level are very important. initially, our ministry and the minister herself is leading a review or care for review on this. and the review goes through the identification of everyone that has the possibility of putting up short term rentals, giving them a quote. and being able to actually looked at look at, you know, what is being offered. the problem is that not everybody know everybody can be a hotel. yea. and the idea of having absolutely no control doesn't help me.

now, if you will not be for security reasons, because when there's, for example, terrorist threats, we have the urgency to know exactly what is, where am i doing? what is it? it's interesting, these bits that you say that the b, e u is looking list looking at this problem as a blog because it's the sort of thing that you would have sol needed to be handled locally. or no, not necessarily. absolutely. first of all, you need to have common rules because when you're dealing with the global platform, for example, like airbnb. ready or other ones, you need to have a come on position because discriminating doesn't really help the fact that one place is like more liberal, more open than the other doesn't really help. we all need to have common rules because the problems are exactly the same. you mentioned by someone that'd be back into this issue, but i can also mentioned the others that is in the north like amsterdam, where the,

let's say the negative sentiment towards terrorism is rising. so this has to put it in a position where we ask ourselves, the question, can we make tourism really a positive ellen, okay, for everyone rather than something that is being suffered. all right, thank you for that. okay, so the other side of the presentation from the autonomy of national tourism office . thank you so much for having me. thank you. not to paris, of course, no stranger to mass tourism. the 2024 island picks begin in a 100 days. the flame was laid on choose day to survey in greece and was arrived and the french capital for the opening ceremony in late july, despite the official count on having stopped with the locals, a skeptical about the super event, berries ready for those dates being 7 years in the making a now there were just $100.00 days until they swimmers olympic games beginning the
