a good time for sex itself. but the act, according to human rights, at the highest of the rallies, is a demand to free all remaining hostages held in gaza. as people gathered for a weekend of protests. israel said special forces had recovered the body of a lad, cuts here. the 47 year old died while held captive in the palestinian territory with his family say they believe he could have been saved. if these riley government had struck a deal. the families of other hostages hoped that it's not too late for each route to change tack and save their loved ones. 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 air as crossing into northern garza,

i'm the temporary use of ash, 3rd port in southern israel. agencies say not nearly enough supplies are getting through to the palestinian territory and famine is imminent. as inside these boxes is medicine and supplies, much needed aid at this hospital which has become the most important in northern gaza. officer, a schafer, hospital stopped functioning. many patients arrive to come out, i do on hospital. this is a small hospital. we do not commit us and supplies. recall on the international organizations, including the world health organization and we thank god, today we received some supplies a. it 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 the israeli government has approved. this decision comes in the wake of the killing of several aid workers and then is rarely 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 also need to be safe. so for that, for us to really be able to scale up to avert time. and so that people don't have to die because they don't have food. we need security guarantees to us as do my attendance, but also for the people we says in gaza. simon is edging closer in northern guys. there were some 70 percent of the population is facing catastrophic hunger, according to the wens world food program. aux from said since january palestinians in northern guys are heavy and 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. the. this is the only place where i can get anything 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 on the problem is 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 your runs embassy in damascus. on monday, after funerals for the 7 members of the revolutionary guards who were killed, they run warrants that it reserves the right to quote, take a decisive response to iran says as really, war plans were used in what it considers a major escalation. and as rails war with its regional adversaries. earlier i

spoke to iran security expert ben on ben tell, i believe, from the washington based research institute foundation for the pet fence of democracies. i asked what these threats from iran could really mean. we've seen the clerical regime in the wrong problem is 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 curtis business and to show you this and civilians alleging that those targets for most of bases in the past is monica public has been increasingly interested and willing enabled to publish the launch missile operations. the more capable they have become, but thus far as history 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? ok. there's certainly the risk about 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 today. the other day, which is held by 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 run felt in bold. and because it sounds like it was already winning in the battlefield, the post october, 2nd, middle east. so my assessment is that a run is likely not going to do something to shake off the current trajectory. so that might mean not targeting is real directly or again, launching an attack against a 3rd party country, or more likely you've even had to run in political officials talk about terrorism against this really embassies. so what capacity would and rondo have to hurt as well? uh it broadly depends on how one defines her it's, i mean uh,

within the past 48 hours, you've had the wrong in a news agencies actually admit that this spring here 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 in erie slip of the tell him give intact 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 pharmacy cyberspace that could potentially continue as well. and it's also an open question because that ron was pointing a finger at america despite the very popular american denial. if it will resume militia attacks in the heartland of them, at least like an iraq and syria, against us positions in your assessment just briefly, what could be done right now to de escalate the situation? if anything or 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. the question is, how would they intend to say face here, and what can the west and israel and others do to bolster determines come limits? any kind of potentially running response. but i'm ben tyler, blue senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracy. thank you. so much for your time and your analysis. thank you. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world. government backed candidate pets. her pellegrini has one. slovakia is presidential election, taking around 54 percent of the vote is appointments of the largely ceremonial roll will be a boost to slovakia is pro russian prime minister robert feed. so he's brought brought us a lot of, much closer to the kremlin since coming to power in $22310.00 through credit turn. burke has been arrested at a protest in the netherlands. authorities detained the sweetest climate activist along with others from the extinction. rebellion group, and they tried to block
