9:05 pm
that egypt and the activists are negotiating on. a ceasefire but we don't know at what stage are there also some interesting reports in the israeli media of course always. quoting unconfirmed sources that are saying that is might have to interest in continuing some more days to achieve more of what they set a state goal and because they seem to have a bit more diplomatic leeway to do so now that earlier you mentioned that president biden mentioned a concern for the media organizations whose offices were targeted in an israeli airstrike in gaza today how have israeli authorities been responding to that. well the statements came out 1st of all by the israeli military there were actually 2 statements so they were saying another quote few lines from them next day said that the building contained military assets used to be longing to the intelligence
