the fact that amongst intentionally embeds itself with civilians within and below hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, refugee camps. but israel has the most sophisticated one of the most sophisticated militaries in the world. it is capable of neutralizing the threat posed by him us while minimizing harm to innocent men, women and children. and it has an obligation to do so. ultimately, that's not just the right thing to do. it's also in israel security interest, the prime minister and members of the work cabinet agreed with the need for this approach. we discussed the details of israel's ongoing planning, and i underscore the impaired with the united states. but the massive loss of civilian life and displacement of the scale that we saw in northern garza not be repeated in the south. as i told the prime minister, intent matters. but so does the results at the same time how most has choices to most could immediately release all of the hostages that holds.

it could stop using civilians as human shields and stopped using civilian infrastructure to stage and launch terraced attacks. from us could lay down his arms surrender. the leaders were responsible for the slaughter, the torture, the rates of october 7th from aust could renounce and state the goal of illuminating israel, killing jews, and repeating the atrocities of october 7th again and again and again. meanwhile, everyone around the world who cares about protecting the innocent civilians, innocent lives should be calling on a mice, indeed demanding it from us. that could immediately stop its murderous acts of terror and deplorable use of innocent men, women, and children as human shields. in our meetings with as rarely leaders here and to jerusalem and pulse any leaders in ramallah as we discussed or continue focus on

preventing the conflicts and spreading. whether to the west bank, israel's northern border or to the broader region. i raised our deep concerns about steps that could escalate tensions in the west bank, including extremely settler violence and proposals. some parts of these really coalition government to further expand settlements. i made clear expectations about addressing these issues. we also focused on what we can, what we must do now to prepare for the day after the conflict, to create the conditions for a durable and lasting peace building on the principles that i set out a few weeks ago. during the g 7 meeting in tokyo, breaking out of the cycle of violence cycle of conflict, ensuring israel's enduring security demands improving the lives of house things in gaza and the west bank in immediate, tangible ways and providing them with the credible pass for their legitimate

aspirations for state and ongoing conversations with israeli palestinian abilene's, we'll discuss practical steps to make real it just and lasting peace. and what each of us has prepared to do to help achieve it. we have no illusions. this is going to be easy. we will surely have disagreements along the way, but if we're going to move forward on practical steps toward lasting piece, lasting security, we have to be willing to work through the disagreements because the alternative, more terrorist attacks, more violence, more innocent suffering is unacceptable. that's why the united states is here and we're leading toward this goal without having to take some questions. the 1st question goes to whomever of come up with writers. hello, mr. sec saving, as you've just said us is urging israel to ensure the protection of civilians

before starting its operations and southern gaza. i'm wondering, you've talked about, well, you made clear to prime minister netanyahu when your cabinet, but what's concrete and specific assurances have you gotten from them if any, based on what you heard from them today, are you confident israel will follow the international laws of war and southern gaza when it resumes its notes. reparations. my 2nd question is, you and others in the administration have repeatedly said the united states wants to see a revitalized palestinian authority for rule, gaza and the west bank. so could you tell us what exactly the us vision is for a revitalized p a and does it include a re shuffle in the leadership think function or so as i said, we make clear the imperative that before any operations go forward in southern

gaza, that there be a clear plan in place that puts the premium on protecting civilians, as well as the standing and building on the manager and assistance since getting into guys. and these really government agreed with that approach. there are concrete steps that it's not appropriate for me to detail here tonight that we know when we we heard can make sure to ensure the best of anyone's ability. if that happens. um it's is obviously challenging given the particular conditions that is real has to deal with in getting to a mouse and making sure again that it can represent the threat that it paused on october 7th. but again, israel understands the imperative protecting civilians imperative,

the manager and assistance. and we'll continue to work to ensure that that carries forward in practice. and again, as i said, to the prime minister to um, to the work cabinet. intent is obviously where you start and it's vitally important and i'm very confident in the intent. but results, of course, are fundamentally what matters with regard to the palestinian authority we've said and indeed i had an opportunity to discuss today with president of us the need for reform. the need to, to revitalize, to revamp the pulse, the needs already so that it can most effectively meet the aspirations of the past and people and deliver for them. there are a number of things that go into that, including for example, reforms so that it more effectively combats corruption that it engages and empowers

civil society. that it supports a free press and open media and a number of other things. leadership choices. these are of course up to the palestinian people. uh and uh, possibly as themselves. but there are a number of things that we think would be critical to making sure that again, the housing authority can be effective and helping to advance the aspirations and the needs of it's a dispute. as for the next question, tell shall live with while a secretary of lincoln reported the there are disagreements between you and the israeli government about the way fort worth regarding the time table. is there a time limit from the us point of view on the operation? uh, on the continuation of the operation and guys and another questions are about a 140 hostages. still less than gods are. many of them are reportedly severely

injured and yet the cross hasn't yet visited them. um, can you clarify if this was indeed included in the agreement and if it was, why isn't it being implemented and why israel transferred to continue to expand the human fact humanitarian assistance to gaza while the how much does not let humanitarian access to our hostages? thank you. the 1st part of the question we support continued to support will continue to support the israel's efforts to do everything possible to ensure the tomas cannot repeat the horrors of october 7th. and that means, among other things that from us cannot remain responsible for governance in gaza and cannot retain the capacity to repeat those attacks. how is real,

does it? those are decisions for israel to make. but as i've said, we also believe it's very important that in engaging in that effort the way it does matters makes a big difference. and as we just discussed, the imperative of putting a premium on protecting civilians and ensuring humanitarian assistance flows into gaza. is something that is vital to us, ends something that the israeli government agrees with on the, the hostages. i am not going to get into a he didn't go see ations or any agreements, but clearly it would be very beneficial and important for the red cross to have access to hostages, to be able to uh, check on their welding. uh and uh and condition uh, having said that,

of course, none of that should be necessary because there shouldn't be any hostages in the 1st place. a fat horrific part of what, how much did on october 7th, it's something that we are dealing with now. every single day, the positive development is, as i said, we're now completing the 7th day where passages have been returned to their, their families. and that's a very positive problem. i think it's something that we want to see a continue and how should release everyone right now, but in the absence of doing that, and as this process, i hope continues. yes, it would be very good for the red cross to have access and to see them. so the question of humanitarian assistance is something fully apart from how most of the hostages, because this is about innocent men, women, and children and gaza. the not from us who desperately need the age to desperately

need. the health conditions and gaza are very, very, very difficult, severe and the need for the most basic things, for food, for water, for medicine, for fuel to make sure that people can have clean water. i think and have a sewage systems that were and that's absolutely essential and imperative. and as i said earlier, strictly, as we had in the winter, we're already seeing the potential for disease on price because for example, of a lack of potable drinking water. so this is an imperative, it's an imperative because it's the right thing to do as an imperative because it's the necessary thing to do. and again, i come away convince from my discussions with these really government faithfully not only understand that,

but believe that and will act on it. vivian. so i'll move with the wall street journal. thank you mister secretary. i know it's been a long day, so apologize for the bundle. ashton's mazda is believed to have released the vast number of women and children that were in its captivity. so what insurance is of any, do you have the from us might be open to releasing males hostages, and on the flip side of that is israel prepare to agree to the conditions set out by him after a month on that separately present biden had signaled that he that the u. s. is prepared to issue visa bands on what he described as extreme as israeli settlers. what is the status of that? and for give me one last one on india. federal prosecutors on wednesday charged india, indian national and a murder for higher scheme targeting is seek, separate us and active us in new york, who's the us citizen. according to the indictment, the assassination part was organized by an is an indian government official. the us charges come shortly after canada. canada's prime minister said that an indian government, the indian government participated an extra judicial killing of

a canadian citizen on canadian soil. are you concerned that india is turning to tactics to violate international human rights? lots assignments. it's critics around the world. thank you. and thanks for the subs . 3 is not that and but yes, nice and concise. so the really some more hostages look, i can't speak to compasses views or it's intentions. i can tell you that for the united states, for israel, for other countries who have their uh, citizens being held captive by most clearly, we want to see this process continue move forward. uh, we want in a nice day and, and beyond. so that people can be returned to their families and that applies to all hostages, whatever category they may happen to be in a, but it's also up to on us. and again, i can't speak to their intentions. i can say that i think this,

this process has clearly been beneficial and the fact that so many have now been reunited with their loved ones and families. this is something we i think take a take join but a lot of unfinished business. and we're determined to finish it when it comes to bringing the hostages home with regard to extremes, violence all, i can, all i can tell you is this. we're looking to the israeli government to take some additional steps to really put a stop to this. and at the same time, we're considering our own steps. finally, with regard to india. first, this is a, an ongoing legal matter. so you understand, i can't comment on it and detail. i can say that this is something we take very seriously. and

a number of us have raised this directly with the indian government in, in past weeks, the government announced today that it was conducting an investigation. and that's good and appropriate, and we look forward to seeing the results. and the final question goes to can, sam, i'll continue with al sharp. good evening. this is curiousity. is this customer? it's wanting to shut the news, my questions, lots of discussion, outgoing on research, goals, revamped ability and or sort of the leadership. do you consider that via free, fair election in gaza, jewels that live and with tax? so 1st as a, as a matter of a basic principle of we support free and fair elections around the world, including the forest for a pulse stands. they should have

a right to choose their own leaders and the way to do it is through a free and fair elections. but that has to be a process. and it's something that we need to be talking about as we move from the, the conflicts to, as we've been calling it the day after looking at what needs to happen in gaza as well as the west bank, but starting and goes up particularly with regard to things like governance like security, like, like rebuilding and part of that discussion needs to be about uh, collections. but again, it's, it's a process and it's something that work needs to go into in the, in the time it had to, i'm sorry, couldn't hear you. so again, we're focused right now on, on garza and the what we need to see happen in gaza to make sure that there is

a governance that is different from what it has right now. which is some us that it has security that it has rebuilding. all of those things are what we're focused on need to be focused on. and as part of that discussion will obviously look at the question of elections and when and how palestinians are able to choose their leaders. thank you. thank you. thanks everyone. us 2nd, just stay onto the blinking. they're talking live in that teller. they've at a press conference he talks about working until we quote, gets a little hostages home on quotes. he said the truck, so they giving it to garza were not enough in particular of fuel. and recently he said, quote from us cannot to maintain control of gauze. joining us now to talk more about this is our correspondent at rest. so said i here in the studio, what did you make of it? well, i think the major takeaway here is that as to all of his speech,

he has given the green light to his rails military campaign. this is going to be that it contains the next phase, which is going to be focused on the south of kaiser, where more than 2 medium people are now there. so is rallies were heavily blooming . well, the strip, however, particularly focusing on the north and announcing the south safe and asking the the palestinian civilians in gaza 3 to move to the south. and now is rarely officials are clear on the heat, stating the purpose that they are going to expand is minutes are camping on the south and now to just the beach. so, but it can, has given the green light phase rails campaign made it to the campaign on the south as well. so that is, i think that the major take away because the hopes that after this choose this uh ceasefire, that could be a permanent ceasefire. a cheap, but at this moment you can see that that is not the us is position and people were

expecting the usa to put more and more pressure on is ralph to stop his music company. but now we see that that is not going to be the case. again, he talked about what he called quote the day off to the conflict, but not much about the harvest with seeing right now. absolutely. so to look at that has been widely criticized to us is position the whether it's it has a model position or not. so just being talking about how dramatic is that a t is rarely because of his tab button that relates on the focus on the drum, the drum mazda tragedies that are unfolding for a rise in gaza strip. and that position has been by that a good size. so he's been talking about the, the future of guys out while for now says the october 7th, more than $15000.00 citizens are being killed. more than 6, thousands of them are children. all the facilities are destroyed, hospitals,

schools, and residential buildings. so there is no access to the clean water, no food, with no electricity. and on top of that, so on the top of that is red officers are clearly stated that they are going to continue their branding campaign. and while focusing on how to stop this war, the, the, the, the us is pop. diplomat said that through his pulse with these rattle, officials that mom with our boss to present but kind of single towards each now focused about the did the, the, the day off the, the war. so little focus on how to prevent the drum that the tragedy that is going on. and also here he has been repeating the saying that it's, do you guys a stands with israel minute. if you just browse means you can put in, however, the way that this trail does it matter. so. so what if israel doesn't comply with the international law, which so far it hasn't complied with that. so then is there going to be the toners mechanism? what are going to be the sanctions? what are going to be the steps that are going to be taken by things most community

by the, by do i say 0 mansion to that? so that's why it's quite worse. can we leave it there? russell said, oh, thank you. so let's go live now it's, it's all right, so you joins us live from. tentative is so sorry. how will us, texas just stay on the blankets. comments be taken in is relevant to deal well a there was definitely one where he's showing unity and he's in agreement with israel carrying out the strikes. i'm ground defensive once the ceasefire reserve in terms of its right to protect itself. so some of the things that he highlighted, certainly, especially when it came to the status of the caps, is when he was off. so what does that mean next, whether men would be released now that most of the women and children have been released, he said that it could,

didn't really matter. at this point. the most important thing is something that they're all working towards is to bring back. all of those houses kept safe. and really, it seems that the answer is right now, quite unknown and you have from us, which had also stated earlier that it will be willing to release the men once the women and children have been a part handed over bots. when we reached out to the ministry as well, it wasn't clear. then you also has a video that was released not long ago by how my said to be of the husband. you yvonne, who is the husband of the lazy into trolls and the big boss family that how my says the has died in and is ready as right before the c. so i happens and he seems to be in it pleasing for the bodies to be returned when the spokesman for these riley military. daniel, how garry was aust about said, he said that this still remains on verified. israel has said that last night when

the news came out, they're saying it and maintaining and now i'm but it's still not clear whether that news is true or not, based on how i'm us previously saying that one of the elderly late is that was held captive had been killed and then she happens to be one of the women that was released. and that's why it's very still very unclear. certainly. and in terms of what's the latest on that, but in terms of 2 captives that were released, they all now with the families. uh they are, the one of them is a jewel french citizen. she's back here in israel and she's met with her mother and there are still 8 more concepts to be released as well. so thanks for that update. let's go now to power. assume in con eunice in southern garza. so what's the moods there in gus? anticipation of the pulse of extension of a cecil yes, uh the majority is people are assigned to the gaza strip. a waiting for the

announcements of the extension of the ceasefire between our mazda and isabel pro could bike top and crazy, the alone side with different reasons. with the ages palestinians since the beginning of the days of the cruise that had been firstly, healed between both spots on the ground. they have devoted the majority of the day you've been looking for securing the basic items in order to be ready to cook with the user to ation. that might be resulted off to the end of the ceasefire as they have been allowed for the 1st time to have access to. if you even guys, those 2 materials that have been allowed for the 1st time since the beginning of this amount of fighting to into the goals this trip now the missouri took them off rate that deceased quiet might not be extended with event coming hours, which bring us to and use now are you and to the grading concerns regarding the intensifying of these various military operations. of course, the goal is this trip as the is made of the patients folks pass and that's, they didn't release it separate operational plans regarding the ground and things

and for several areas. it's not the goal is to but even to continue from passing inside the air canarios of because a city. so meanwhile the policy is a waiting for the announcement. the costs increasing right now at this very moment to uh, to be protected and even to gain on their business. their image. the city is a, from the gaza strip and even to get useful from the humanitarian aid that is supposed to be until the causes trip, along with the end of the ceasefire. so clearly we are waiting for the announcements and they are afraid to witness the same delay that's happened yesterday, but negotiations continue to reach this is by a hoping that we didn't become a few hours. there's going to be more release of hostages and also going to going to be further extension of these, these 5 between come off and he's real. sorry, i assume with the updates in con eunice and southern guns. the 3 is where it is, had been killed in 12 engine and a shooting at the bus station in west jerusalem attack happened that the remote

junction, not the northern entrance of the city, is ready for they say the 2 assignments have been killed. the mass has confirmed that the attack has where its members and it's called for an escalation of resistance. in mind, con has more from the occupant of the students and are protestant in the family, homeless stores, and 8 people arrested in the shooting in west jews. the attack took place at 745 this morning. the to attack is a right by call. they go down and they opened fire at a bus stop in west jerusalem. they were using a hand gun and then 16 assault rifle. they were quickly killed by 2 of 22 soldiers on the same and, and is really civilian police then surrounded the call. now in the attack, 3 people died and 16 was injured in that attack. now the attack is actually come from this village. this is a sued by her and occupied easter eastern. what local residents are telling us here

that at least 8 people have been arrested by the is ready police. that includes the mother and the 2 wives. now, immediately off to the attack, the problem is the benjamin this and you know, who tweeted saying that these were members of a mass and that they would be killed any way that they attach a few hours later how mass actually issued a statement. now i'm going to power phrase the statement. a mass bones it's mouth is broad and abraham, the man who carried out the shooting in jerusalem this morning and coals for an escalation of resistance against these really ok patient and his practice is in the occupied west by now. the ceasefire agreement only covers cause that it doesn't cover the occupied westbank, and i must have been at pains to point that out. but the timing of this attack is interesting. it came to just off the cx. 5 deadline was due to come to an end that says 5 deadline actually was extended with 20 minutes to spare. everyone con,

i'll do that sort of by just going to take you to a short outside of that phrase and in the occupies westbank. where kind of spins a 100 over to the red cross before being taken to another product to go from from a lot more of this the next then we'll have insights to stay with the the, the weather brought to you by visit coastal however, we got more heavy showers into the southeast of australia in the process of easing away slowly, but surely because we have seen some really heavy rain full recently. this area of low pressure that's growing in that for people moisture down towards that southeastern corner of new south wales,
