hostages that remain in gaza under from aust control, they believe that netanyahu is not negotiating in good faith to bring those hostages home. and especially with mounting pressure from across the world on israel with how israel's conducting the war and gaza. the people here believe that netanyahu has made his real less safe by alienating it on an international stage. the protests come, as israel is responding to international calls to allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. the government has approved the reopening of the a railroad crossing into a northern garza and a temporary use of ashen toad port and southern israel. agencies say not nearly enough supplies are getting through to the palestinian territory and famine. as eminent inside these boxes is medicine and supplies. much needed aid at this hospital,

which has become the most important in northern gaza. after a schafer hospital stopped functioning, many patients arrive to come out to one hospital. this is a small hospital and we did not commit us and supplies recall on international organizations, including the world health organization, and we thank god, today we received some supplies. robles on this page has been trickling into guys, or whoever agencies say it's not enough to meet the needs of the population. pressure has been growing on israel to allow more humanitarian supplies into the enclave. which these randy government has approved. this decision comes in the wake of the killing of several aid workers in his riley strike earlier this week. but safety concerns remain an issue for agency still operating in gaza. we don't have the necessary security guarantees to work here. the people it also needs to be safe

. so for that, for us to really be able to scale up to a verge, simon, so that people don't have to die because they don't have food. we need security guarantees to us as to my parents, but also for the people we says in gaza. simon is edging closer in northern guys are worse, i'm 70 percent of the population is facing catastrophic hunger. according to the wens world food program, oxfam says since january, palestinians in northern guys have eaten an average of just $245.00 calories per day. that's less than a kind of beans lie a lot say that when we were displaced at the beginning of the war, we use the rotten bread because of the high food prices. well, this is the only place where i can get anything and for my children, then i have 3 boys and a girl. they need food. where do i get food? i can't afford to buy it. everything is so expensive and i have no money. this

local kitchen is our safe place. we come here every day. and i've had a problem shared by many guys in 6 months into the war and with no end in sight to their suffering. the us and israel are on high alert, expecting retaliation for the bombing of the runs embassy in damascus. on monday, after funerals for 7 members of the revolutionary guard who were killed, they run warrants. but it reserves the right to quote, take a decisive response to air on size as really war plans were used and what it considers a major escalation in israel's war with its regional adversaries. to spend on ben tyler blue is a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies research institute in washington dc. he focuses on iranian political and security issues. been, i'm good to have you with us. iran has promised what it costs, severe revenge. what exactly could that mean?

while it's great to be with you, we've seen the clerical regime in iran promise something similar before. for example, in response to real or perceived threats from israel in 2022 and again in 2024. the regime ended up striking publicly from its own territory. the targets in iraq that ended up being the homes of the kurdish business and kit is killing innocent civilians alleging that those targets where most of bases in the past is monica public has been increasingly interested in willing and able to publish the launch missile operations. the more capable they have become, but thus far in history it has never directly targeted is really territory publicly from its own territory using these weapons. and so what is the risk of us seeing a full, our regional war? now, there is certainly the risk, but looking at iranian commentary, particularly within the past 48 hours, while there is talk of quote unquote,

a slap against israel and lots of political and security and military officials on a recently manufactured iranian holiday called codes named the other day which is held that the last friday of the holy month of ramadan, between their commentary. if you're going to read between the lines uh, was a lot about how we were on sales in bold and because it sounds like it was already winning the battlefield through the post october 2nd, mid lease. so my assessment is that a run is likely not going to do something to shake off the current trajectory. so that might be not targeting is real directly or again, launching an attack against a 3rd party country. or more likely you've even had to running political officials, talk about terrorism against is really embassies. so what capacity would iran they'll have to hurt as well? it broadly depends on how one defines her. it's, i mean uh, within the past 48 hours, you had the wrong in a news agencies actually admit that this brigadier general that was killed into damascus right brigadier general, inside the allegedly part to grow health plan. the, the october 7 terrace attack,

which is an erie slip of the tone given check, runs denials for the past 6 months. so clearly they have a robust terrorist apparatus in the past. these relays in the wrong hands have traded pharmacies, cyberspace that could potentially continue as well. but it's also an open question because to everyone was pointing a finger at america despite the very public american denial. if it will resume malicious attacks in the heartland of them, at least like in iraq and syria, against us positions in your assessment just briefly, what could be done right now to de escalate the situation? if anything, you know, listen, this is, this is a really tough question, because i think the iranians at this point in time are politically locked in, they've sunk a lot of costs publicly and rhetorically about feeling the needs response of the question is, how will they intend to say, face here, and what can the west and israel and others do to bolster determines to limit any kind of potential are running response. but i'm ben talib,
