and for more i'm joined by data reporter resigning as he's covered the region extensively and is following these events closely for us shaunie yesterday this seemed such hope that things might be turning a corner even the u.s. envoy said that a ceasefire was possibly imminent instead things seem to be ratcheting up yeah well it is it seems like it but it's basically just a race against the clock both sides know they don't have too much time we know israelis have been in this scenario with it with. hamas for many many times before unfortunately the time is running out and they're trying to speed up to get as many of their targets still achieved for israel it's trying to get more into more launchers and to reach some more. executives and meters and for hamas it's this is keeping this equivalence of any fire coming to halt gaza
9:05 am
will be retaliated. with fires coming back to israel sort of keeping that balance to show we're not weak we're not begging for a cease fire however it's clear that the time is running out to something less much longer probably a day maybe maybe. 2 but not much much longer hopefully. and as we saw in that report as we mentioned earlier of course that was that bombing israeli bombing of that building yesterday which houses the media outlets al-jazeera and the associated press it's drawn a lot of international comment on them now. what do you think israel's strategy was behind that well officially israel's strategy is not to target civilians or civilian targets but we need to keep 2 things in mind when we discuss gaza 1st that this is one of the most densely populated places in the world so it's really hard to keep it separate when you bomb one building the surroundings of it of course is very much severely injured as well and when to keep also come us is using that fact

9:07 am
seen here is a result of the split that is this long divide between hamas that is operating gaza and ruling gaza de facto even though it's not a knowledge by the international community and we see the rule as the. recognized by international community leading the palestinian authority this is mahmoud abbas's fatah forces this is a long wish between these 2 sides of palestinian society for many years this political if now is being. taken to the extent of being a big part of fueling this feud because the fight is over dominance and of control of jerusalem and showing careful jerusalem abbas as my. as you would like to does not have any say in what happens in gaza and what hamas is doing and how they're operating this is this is maybe the tragedy of what we're seeing now with you know palestinian unity is trying to come together but the political struggle is such that hamas has the ability to do whatever you want without having any leverage or any sanction over that ok sunny thank you very much for your time chani resigned us
