table. so it doesn't really seem so after the news broke out, we heard from these really prime minister netanyahu, who reiterated that is really, isn't an, isn't in an existing shall war. that has to be fought at all cost. and regardless of whatever pressure, this is obviously, you know, kind of an implicit response to the rising international pressure that we just mentioned, which has been view steadily, a rising over the past few weeks as the higher risk images have been coming out of gaza. and as the world is getting to see just how the, the human cost of this war at the same time, the prime minister can't really ignore the anger on the streets of israel after the death of these 3 hostages. as the idea says mistakenly by their own fire,
