make the golan heights a potential launching ground for attacks. against israel. very violentnt attacks. any possible future peace agreement must account for israel's need to defend itself from syria iran and other regional threats. we do not want to see another attack like the one suffered this mornining north of tetel a. well let's go to jerusalem now and some meat suckle who is that and that similar start with that whatat is happening at in gaza that can you tell us more about the air strikes going on right now. yes well i can tell you that the reports coming from and how mas is that at ten o'clock am local time i mean it's just a few minutes ago a c ceasefirere was supposed to come into place. and this is aa ceasefire that they say was broken by the egyptians and we know that there is any gyptian delegation in the

countryy right now in israel.. and they've b been trying to create this seeee set f fire n n the israeli side there's no confirirmation that t ere is acactually a a cease fire goingi handled needsds now heard itt fm the gaza strip.. ishat after thehese see slightly firere deaeadline there have ben air strikes in the gaza strip.. soso i am hamamas would very m h lilike to end this round. we know that there was this rocket w was launched frfrom the gaza strip and hannah how is it destroyed it in the north of that delegates. at the sinince they're a is what hahas been striking the gaza stp and the the a palestinian factions have been launching rockets and a door to the south of israel. and a this is a point that they would like to have a ceasefire and we know also the united nations i've been trying. to negotiate a ceasesefire now t is rarely - -- observers they sy

that a ceasefire for net on your own now would not be good enough because he has to show the israeli public that he's striking hamas hee is now. in in this afternoon there have destroyed the also says always smiling here who is the head of the hamas thehe political bureau there's another building and how much the thrhree story building that was. destroyed in air strikes israel says that itits head of the intetelligence and ballasting ia saying that itit's a commercial buildiding -- we we really don't know what was in this buildingg withth their calls f for commerl or whether there was intelligence there and there were other little cations that have been striking as we're speaking now. israel is this is continuing to strike and to retaliate in israel they're saying that they want to restore the deterrence

all their israel and its military. so you've gone at this dramatic escalation with thomas and on the same day what president trump. at signing a notice saying that he recognizes israeli sovereignty over the golan all of this just two weeks before the election how is it going to impact that teasing. that will no doubt as did the signing of this order by president trump in a in wawashington is a big achievemet for a prime minister netanyahu. and that is the fact that any president trump is backing the tiny out not only on the question of jerusalem being that capital of is run not only on the question of moviving the embassy. from tel aviv to jerusalem notot only on thee question of the round but also on the future of the golan heights it was. ththe unitedd nations s security council that isis called the gon heights occupied syrian land and now that she's still. and to a position that the saying no this is israeli land so this is a big shift in policy
