community despite the fact that this mounting pressure because of what you just heard the humanitarian situation deteriorating in gaza we know that calls for a cease fire international calls they are growing what can you tell us about any diplomatic efforts that are underway i mean is it is it working at all in israel. well there are still conflicting reports we have nothing really for sure that you can tell you we know that conversations going on to send from the poets of the united nations special envoy is talking to all sides egypt is involved in this as you use it to have done this in previous rounds of hostilities. but at the moment there's no tangible idea whether you know there's serious talks about proposal that might be on the table and whether both sides are prepared to go for a cease fire anytime soon. be used when you came to with the latest tonight in

jerusalem to you thank you you know you knew spoke today with jeremy issacharoff israel's ambassador to germany we asked him about the israeli military bombing a tower helvering international media organizations in gaza over the weekend whether that attack was meant to silence those who report on the situation on the ground too much to the best of my knowledge no and everything i can see on television whether it's on c.n.n. i'll just hear all the other stations on the chevelle and i don't think there's any lack of coverage and we wouldn't do that in order to stop coverage we had very clear information about the facilities that would have being serving hamas in terms of their intelligence capabilities the cyber capabilities and also very particular equipment and i'm pretty sure that not everyone realizes the extent to which hamas again embeds itself in the civilian population in order to try and have

a human shield so if anyone should come to any. complaints here it should be to hamas that what they did was no less of a war crime than fighting and shooting against israeli civilians in israel. we also asked the ambassador about pro palestinian demonstrations here in germany over the weekend some of which included anti-semitic rhetoric we asked him if you feel that the german government is doing enough to fight these incidents i think festival i've spoken to some of the initial incidents of concern where in north ryde it's westphalia i spoke to a national the prime minister of the state and he was very concerned about it and we discussed it and he assured me that they will do all in their power to prevent it other senior security officials spoke to me and also assured me that they will

do all in their power look some of these things of fighting against you know jewish communities confronting them attacking synagogues burning israeli flags these are things that you know it's one thing to have a peaceful demonstration but another thing to have these type of acts which really i mean the jewish community in germany has nothing to do with the crisis going on in gaza and they are deserving of living like any other community in germany in peace and security and i based on what i have heard also from president who spoke out very loudly against these attacks also from what i've heard from all see hoffa the minister of interior who came out against these attacks and he said we will use all in our power to stop these type of anti-semitic attacks so i from that point of view i feel the german authorities will do all they can to prevent that was jeremy issacharoff israel's ambassador to germany here's some of the other
