2:01 pm
>> in sport, a massive party happening in berlin. the celebration of the return of the world champions to germany. >> israel's prime minister says his military will intensify it's attacks on the gaza strip. he has no choice but hamas didn't accept the proposed cease fire put forward by egypt. israel suspended the air strikes after agreeing to a truce, but since started them again. strong words come around the same time as the confirmation of a death of an israel citizen. the man died near the crossing 194 people have been killed in gaza, more than 1,400 have been wounded since israel started it's attacks more than a week ago.
2:02 pm
well, this is hive video of what isle happening right now. standing by in gaza, speak to her in a moment. but first, ethnic minority's go live to us in jerusalem, first of aural, tough talk from officials what are they saying? i think the statements we are hearing from officials here, it hooks like things could be hided towards further escalation. benjamin netanyahu has secured a meeting in tel-aviv which was already scheduled but we are hearing in media reports that he has already spoken poll hing the confirmation of the first israeli death since this escalation started and he said that hamas will pay the price for the decision to continue this escalation. and that israel will continue to strike hamas until it brings quiet back to israeli civilians. we are also hearing similar statements that
2:03 pm
says that israel is determined to continue action, and that it will not compromise when it comes to israel security. separately we are also hearing some statements from the white house in washington, d.c., where a u.s. administration official was quoted as saying that the rockets being fired into israel against the innocent israeli civilians are unacceptable, completely unacceptable, and that israel is entitled to take the necessary action in order to ensure the security and the safety of it's civilians. so that only giveses further legitimacy to israel to continue it's military campaign against gaza. first of all, talking about intensifying, how intense do things look there on the ground. >> there's been a couple of air strikes here, but we are hearing that the
2:04 pm
people that left their homes after that warning from the israeli army, they had returned because they thought things sometimed quiet. they are now coming back into the schools here in gaza city, to look for shelter because people here are absolutely petry fied of what israel is doing. so there's a real concern here. but the factions here will tell you, that they -- the cease fire was never anything they took seriously. because no one spoke to them, no one listened to their demands. they say 30 under occupation, they have the right to defend themselves and the right to resist, and they say that i do welcome a cease fire, but it needs to be something that is discussed with all sides. certainly not something that is dictated to them by israel and certainly that is the issue here.
2:05 pm
when they came into a unity government, they said nothing changed here on the ground, they are not given anything. even issues with the president, they don't think -- so they are hoping from this military campaign israel is launching against them, they say they are not going to hold back unless they see real change that will benefit them and the people who live here. first of all, how is it that a cease fire can be put forward, without them allegingly saying they weren't properly con sacramentoed. something seems wrong there. >> sounds wrong. is a understatement. it's quite fishy. after the call, the
2:06 pm
egyptian president issues anishtive of sorts. suddenly the government that never ever would make a decision so hastily, so fast, and improve the cease fire by a foreign country, even if it was the united states, would suddenly approve immediately and no time, an egyptian initiative. soon after goes out to the press, and says now that hamas did not accept, we have the right to continue our campaign against gaza and even expand it. right after that, secretary kerry comes out and sayses in a despicable sigh presence on the part of hamas, and israel has the right to defend itself. so all and all, a lot of it beg as lot of questions. because this really smells back, it smells as bad as those bomb sewage in gaza.
2:07 pm
when are told a consultations think a number of parties going on. >> oh, but that has nothing to do with the egyptian initiative, and that's the brock here. the problem here is there seems to be an effort to undercut, to undermine, an arab american initiative that was working somewhere between the turks and the americans, to bring out something forward that takes the separation both hamas and israel's demands. we are not consulted how can we agree to something we were not consulting about. that speaking of the initiative that we want quiet, without taking into consideration the basic demands of people that their water, the recipe, the sewage, the communities have been badly damaged.
2:08 pm
does this mean the truce efforts will come to an end, or will it be floated in a different shape? >> you know, i am -- how should i put it? when you have a situation where a call for a cease fire. rooks to intensify the fire. p he says if there is no cease fire, there will be fire. so there is a sense my sense is, that this peace -- this -- is meant to give almost like a pyromaniac fireman initiative. now cam bombers killed at
