pressure under government. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited soldiers and gaza, assuring them defensive would continue until victory. and he also addressed parliament vowing to bring hostages home. but seeing more time was needed just a day after the military set, it found the bodies of 5 as rarely captives inside. how much tunnel a wonderful, that's good. we won't be able to release all the hostages without military pressure, military pressure, operational pressure, political pressure, and therefore, one thing we wouldn't do, we will not stop fighting. somebody doesn't mean pressure is mounting on them. yeah . who? family use of hostages interrupted to speech, chanting. now they have already been waiting for the return of their loved ones for

80 days. well, israel's government is coming under increasing pressure to curve violence by settlers against palestinians in the occupied west bank. the united states has issued travel bound, so an extreme is really south was responsible for the attacks. european governments are looking to impose similar measures. un figures show a spike, and incidence of settler violence in the west bank since the hum us october. some terrorist attacks on israel did the use. abraham reports from the town of car of, of bonnie house on driving through cut out with benny hudson. it's difficult to miss, but it's a town in morning. at its entrance, plastered on its buildings, bus stop, even wrote signs. everywhere you look posters of asked about the house,

see what the words murder. before i became a martyr to people, here he was a carpenter, a husband, and besides a father to 6 children, a brother, and a cherished son to stay and look at him. isn't it a shame that he has now been east the ground that was loved everywhere. his family loved him, his friends loved him. everyone loved him. what has his boy done wrong? but he now has to grow up without a father. what has this girl done wrong? that she now has to grow up without a father. she has been very affordable. this makes shift memorial marks the spot where from its body was found. she'd been shot in the chest. it was hours after palestinians here see about 20 is really settlers. descended on colorado with benny has son from a nearby hill, a local council man who says he witnessed the attack, walks me through what he saw. oh, what is the military? it was with the settlers from the start. they cleared the area so the settlers

could attack as they pleased and shot at anyone who approach the settler violence is not new in the occupied westbank. but the union says it has searched dramatically since the how must her attacks on october 7th, and nearly half of all recorded incidents. as with the attack on pedal with benny, her son is really forces were reportedly seen supporting the attackers. this town is completely surrounded by is really settlements, which are considered illegal under international law. palestinians here told me they can barely sleep at night, not knowing where the next attack could come from. just look at the devastation that these attacks usually bring in response to our inquiry about the attack on color, what benny has done. these really military said there was a confrontation between residents and settlers. and to break it up, troops used life, fire, and other means. the incident is now under police investigation. the people who've

cut out what benny has sent, told me, none of this makes them feel safe. that when there was an attack, there left defend for themselves. darcy was killed. he had responded to a call that came from the speakers of the local mosque to help protect the village from the settlers. who is 2 youngest children, however, are too young to understand that sacrifice as their beloved father is now gone to good. lemme just the head of the stuff that whenever there is a knock on the door, she says, that's dad. he's come home and brought me sweet and very frustrated with when she opens the door and he's not there. on the other one tells me grandma that's really what i want. does he my father hope i miss him to take me to my father, take me to having problems. so i can see my father. jen name is jennifer wellborn us and our special correspond to abraham who filed the report,

joins us now in the studio. it tells us more about the growing tensions in the occupied westbank and what that means for palestinians living that it's a very vala tile security situation. on the one hand, we have an increase in a settler violence, as we've seen in this report in 2023 was already set to be one of the most violent in terms of settler violence. since the one started keeping a record records over a decade ago, and we've seen, you know, because of the war and because since october, 7th, and increasing number of settlers are now in reserve duty. so we've also seen a tax where a settlers that palestinians know by face and by name because they live very close to them, are attacking them in military fatigue. and these really army has taken some disciplinary measures against some of the settlers that are attacked, you know, in non idea of sanctioned raids. if you will,

we seen that this increase violence is leading to displacement over a 1000 palestinians. say that they've been forced out of their communities. these are usually smaller communities, different from the ones that we seen in this report who just leave because the attacks have gotten so bad. and then on the other hand, there are also what the is really military. and these really, governments has, are counter terrorism operations happening at mostly in the northern part of the west bank. how much is not in control in the west bank a not like and gaza, but at the same time, there are of course militant cells in the west bank. and there are deadly rates happening on an almost daily basis to with them out as the, as really government says to us, more about how this is really officials or dealing with instance like the one highlighted in your report and other similar i think the response from the, you know, the pull for the politicians,

the people in power in israel can be described as dismissive. and the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that these actions are happening by a handful of extremist settlers that they are tarnishing the reputation of israel. but it's a minority, so it's a somewhat dismissive tone, and he's also told reportedly to meters of the settler community that he's told joe biden, that he has nothing to worry about. i'm, i'm paraphrasing there. of course also, you know, ministers in the us government that are well known members of the seller movement. i'm talking about the interior minister and the finance minister. with this particular case. it's still under investigation for palestinians that i've spoken to say they, you know, from their perspective they live under a framework of military occupation. so they don't really believe the any process or any investigation will bring them justice. what about the justice mean? what are their prospects for justice in this case that you were dealing with in

there with the young man that i see who was killed and can that can his family expect any job since it is under police investigation? the investigation is ongoing. that's the official response that we got right scripts. however, always point out that with cases like this, that actually gets to a prosecution and punishment of a settlers. that's a minority. and so palestinians feel like they will get no justice. and i think the bigger or what struck me making this a report is, you know, the children who have lost their father in this way and what kind of future they would have. so, you know, it's a very alarming phenomenon for sure. here. thank you very much. our special correspond abraham sketch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world to day close to $300.00 passengers have arrived in by india after their plane was grounded for 4 days in france. french investigators halted the charter aircraft initially bound for

nicaragua, over concerns that it was part of a human trafficking scheme. 25 passengers stay behind in france, where they've applied for a sign of the commander of ukraine's air forces. it has destroyed a large russian warship, docked and occupied crime in the social media post said the noble check cost. seeing here in file footage was hit by cruise missiles and the port of those here. russia says the ship was damaged and one person can ukraine is to propose lowering the age at which soldiers are selected for combat duty from 27 to 25 years. that's according to a draft law all the parliament's website. last week present problem is lensky said the military had proposed mobilizing half a 1000000 more soldiers in the fight against russia. monday was the

1st time that ukraine observed christmas as a public holiday on december 25th. traditionally ukrainian, celebrated christmas on january 7th in line with the russian orthodox church following the julian calendar. it's part of the cultural shift away from moscow after last using patient believers turned out in force to celebrate the new christmas day. and keith seems to see a cathedral amongst those attending there was widespread support for the new date. that's a problem. this is the right thing to do, in my opinion, or the civilized world. the, all of europe does the same. so i don't want to be associated with the aggressor country and celebrate the way they do. we're together with europe when these out of the civilized world. and god is with us both. i think changing the official date of christmas is very important. the country should

distance itself from russia and its holidays. the o. c. u z. ukraine's president held his 2nd christmas eve address since rest is full scale invasion. he offered words of hope and his vision to move away from russia and closer to europe. a lead paper on the slide you are, as i've seen today. well, we'll ukrainians altogether. we o celebrates christmas together on the same day as one big family as one nation as one united country. and today i will come and pray. i will be stronger than ever show the people's prayer. today. will you not millions of voices more than ever before? and it will resonates, we bounce a time. difference of 2 weeks resonates together. we few up envelope 0 way street christmas day in ukraine saw another tradition for as many church services were held in ukrainian instead of russian.
