benjamin netanyahu did speak give a public address a yesterday, a night where he said that this is an existing shall war for israel and one that has to be pursued regardless of the cost and also pressure. this hasn't, this is not really a departure from what he's been saying all along. he does seem to, he is steadfast in, in, in, in, in the, in, in his pursuit of this war. and his government's pursuit of this for he did, however, also hand that the door for further negotiations may not be completely closed. and there are some reports, according again, according to some reports that the cut 30 prime minister has met with the chief of the massage to try and restart the hostage negotiations again after the temporary

cease fire that saw the release of many hostages, a senior country official had said that both sides were not ready to come back to the table and to negotiate further. but as we just saw, anger is really mounting on the streets here in israel, especially after 3 hostages had come so close to being rescued, but were then in fact killed by the same people that were supposed to rescue them. remember, it's one of the profess goals of the war from these really sites that they want to return the hostages a back and they want to return them back alive. and so far, only one hostage has been rescued as a result of combat. the vast majority have come out as a result of a deal, and more and more people are, i think starting to see that here. so that's according to reporting that i've been doing for to speaking to is really is here in the country. so meanwhile,

on the ground in gaza, they are mounting civilian casualties. also, this humanitarian situation is becoming increasingly dire. there were reports of israel was prepared to open a 2nd crossing into gaza to allow a supplies to get in. what are you hearing about that? well we have heard from an idea of the spokes person that the care. i'm shalom. a border crossing between gaza and israel is to reopen. it is expected to reopen to the or may have in fact already a reopened as we speak, the care i'm show on crossing prior to the war was responsible for something like 60 percent of all goods coming in and out of the strip. so it really is a, was a, was a lifeline for people is really government had said that it was going to open it, it initially for inspection. and now it will be open to alleviate the pressure on

the roof off crossing to make sure that the $200.00 trucks of a that were promised as part of the 1st cease fire deal uh, are honored. that was the w, special correspondent to abraham reporting from jerusalem and thank you as always. well, meanwhile, a communications blackout continues in the gaza strip with more than 2000000 palestinians virtually cut off from the outside world. internet and telephone lines went down thursday best according to god's and authorities and communications companies. a group save the outages, hampering their efforts in the territory. he would tv is with the 8 organization care. earlier i asked her how the communications blackout was affecting her groups work since thursday. it was impossible to reach out to my colleagues to them. they weren't able to to connect very vocational need twice, only in the last days to what we called
