with the soldiers and tell them to release the people, please, please do that. thank you so much for joining us to share that message. all the best to you. thank you. as a civilian toll continues to mount toward joined by counter terrorism expert, informing us some pastor gerald firestone. he joins us from philadelphia. so how seriously do you take the reports and how most could kill some hostages if is real, continues to bomb civilian buildings and gaza or? well, i think that it's a very serious threat. and certainly we've seen over the course of the last 48 hours or so that that's from us has every capacity to uh, to the extremely brutal and the way they really are handling this uh this moment. so i think it's very worrisome. now there are reports that come off as already prepared to talk about it for us, but the reason the questions,

what is goals with the attack were to begin with? well, i think that they had a number of different goals. a, a one of course is that, that this was something that they wanted to to do to improve. i not only to the israel but also to the broader international community that the palestinian issue is central to the regional security framework. and that people who think that that the palestinian issue is no longer material or wrong. so there was one objective. another objective i think is within the context of internal palestinian politics. and it was an opportunity for home us to demonstrate to palestinians that they could be effective. they would be effective in ways that the palestinian authority and my i'm in a boss or not. and then and then in addition, they have specific was like

a free palestinian prisoner. so they have a number of different uh, goals. know, israel has declared that it ends to stop from us from having any influence in gauze in the future. is that a realistic goal? no, i don't think it's, it's likely to be achieved. uh, you know, the, the fact of the matter is that from us, even though, even though it's not that terribly popular, it's not. it's not as though mosse really represents. the majority of palestinians, they don't, they never have but they are part of the fabric of gaza. and uh and, you know, the idea is that they can be rooted out and illuminated is a, is an unrealistic and, and the same way that i, you know, 20 years on the west is not illuminating at all kind, it is not illuminated terrorism. these movements can be illuminated that way,

or they truly are in with a problem. now, the attacks have so far provoked a mass of retaliation is real, but so far there's been no sign of ground incursion. however, you expect israel to enter gaza? well, i think that if they come to the conclusion that in order to achieve their goals, even even their short term uh, more realistic goals that they are required going in on the ground they, they undoubtedly will make that decision and it would appear that as the most likely scenario, they're not going to be able to accomplish their objectives just through the air. all right, that was gerald time's time from the middle east institute in washington. thank you very much for your analysis. thank you. the mazda attacks have reverberated around the world. many words leaders have denounced them while expressing solidarity with israel. you and secretary general antonio gutierrez,

has to be literally condemned the same day, or was no justification for acts of terror. even chief, also raise concerns about the death toll and garza from israel's retaliatory strikes. i recognize the legitimate grievances of the palestinian people, but nothing can justify these acts of terror and the killing may mean the doctrine lipsy vivian's. i write to raise my call to immediately seize these effects and release. all last touches in the face of these unprecedented effects is rarely have strikes if bound to go so deeply alarmed by the parts of over $500.00 policy unions, including women and children, killed in gaza and over city 1000 injured. unfortunately, these numbers are rising by the minutes as use at alley operations continue. while i recognize you as well as legitimate security concerns, i also do you mind israel,

that communities for pricing is, must be called back to the district, the card business with the international humanitarian law. dw special correspondent, i abraham is following the story for us from washington. dc, so i am, what more did the un secretary general have to say? as we heard there, and he was trying to really strike a balance between condemning unequivocally condemning the actions committed by how much a group that is classified as a tear organization by the united states, the germany and others. while also cautioning that in these retaliatory attacks, it might end up being it. the civilians and gaza that bear the brunt of these retaliatory strikes and urged israel to, to, to, to remember that any military operation has to be conducted within the framework of international law. and that of course, includes the protection of civilians and not targeting civilian infrastructure. he

was also sure to put the events that we've seen transpire over the past 36 hours or so in that larger historical context. and i want to read a quote uh from the rest of that statement. uh, the, the secretary general said the most recent violence does not come in a vacuum. the reality is that it grows out of a longstanding conflict with a 56 year long occupation and no political end in sight and quote. so he was also short to to, to emphasize that there's a longer history there. and that the, you know, the grievances of the palestinians and the security concerns of israel has to be addressed for the cycle of violence as he called it a to ent. yeah. and unfortunately, has been no sign of the cycle of violence can stop any time soon. now, america's deputy and bastard to the united nations earlier reintegrated his country support for israel. what about the risk of the conflict escalating?

tell us exactly what the us is planning in terms of their support for israel. well, the united states is a, are the quizzically on the side of israel. we've heard from multiple us officials that the united states stands by israel's right to defend itself, a calling of these acts of terror attacks. but how much has has, has, has done over the past 36 hours or so. we've seen the us move aircraft carriers and ships to the eastern mediterranean in an effort, according to us officials, to deter other actors in the region and to tell them that this is not an opportunity for them to take advantage of, of the chaos and the situation that's going on in israel to advance their own geo political, a goals. and these actors are iran, you know, fractions in the west bank, and even in lebanon,

where we have seen flare ups at the border of, with israel. it's also, according to us officials assigned to assure the as really people that the american government is on their side. we've also there's a long send middle terry cooperation between israel and the united states. as real res receives north of $3000000000.00 us dollars of annual military aid from the united states. but us officials have also said that they are ready to supply israel with more uh, aid to make sure that they are able to defend themselves as the us, as the biden administration has put it right. that was due. the reason why are you behaving with the view from washington dc. thank you very much. and here's a reminder of the top story at this hour. it is real time minister benjamin netanyahu. it has set the airstrikes, some guys that are just beginning of a larger operation. and some of you said some of the origins were still inside.

israel is where the media said deductible from the loss of tax, as no surpassed 900 and you're up to date, but to stay tuned, we'll be following this for the rest of the day for you. thank you very much for joining us. the
