you remember in 2006, gilad shalit was kidnapped and held for over five years by hamas and it took 1,027ners to get him out. that was a trade a lot of israelis do not want to make again. but i think this is going to take quite some time. and quite clearly, ourfocus, the world's focus right now is on events in israel and gaza and our previous guests there touching on the political fortunes of some of the big players in these negotiations. we're thinking there's a presidential election, of course, next year in the us. there's a uk general election on the cards for next year too. we know that benjamin netanyahu's poll ratings have been falling. ratings have been falling in israel, politicians will also have the eye on the support of their own electorate, won't they? they absolutely will. although i admit that i think when it comes to the united states, president biden has actually been pretty clear about his policies from the beginning. the question really is, are you better off having president biden embrace israel as he had and try to quietly behind the scenes influence them or to do it p

they held gilad shalit for five years. they exchanged him for a thousand palestinian prisoners.o hamas is going to dribble this out and continue -- this is the one big leverage that they have and they are not just going to sort of, you know, give it up very easily. >> perhaps a higher value exchange in the iowa of hamas, weather an israeli soldier or american. >> we heard from ka qatari officials that they hope the momentum leads to toe a temporary truce. are there signs pointing to that? >> there is a framework of an agreement. i don't know if there are signs pointing to it. there is an agreement that basically with every day where the troops continued another ten hostages would come out. that's the basic framework of the agreement. i think it would be in everybody's interest if the ruse was extended. there will be voices in israel saying the truce went on too long, you know, there was one of the sticking points or this deal was that, you know, one side wanted five days of truce and, you know, that was non-negotiable for israel. let's see how this goes because the netanyahu gov

so one would assume if you look back at the release of gilad, remember that story, 1,000 palestinians in return for him. and at the moment we're talking about three palestinian prisoners for each israeli. i imagine hamas would ask for more as they move on to the men and idf soldiers. that is one thing that might change the dynamic a bit. also it does depend on hamas, we've talked about this a bit, managing to get hold of all of the hostages. we know some are held by islamic jihad. those two groups seem to be working and coordinating well right now. i was speaking to an analyst in israel earlier on saying there are other hostages being held as he called it families. other people may call them groups. these are hostages that he says were taken in during this chaos on october 7. other groups, our families, our individuals even taking hostages, they are with those hostages right now. and the analysts i'm speaking to saying that there is a price to return those hostages to hamas so that they can become a part of this truce agreement. so there are complexities behind the scenes and they rea

director of paediatrics , gilad director of paediatrics, gilad livni, says he hopes all hostages willned. >> we're very exciting from the first moment we saw for the kids and the parents, the hugs and the crying and it was very, very exciting for all of us. they are in good condition and they are surrounded by our multidisciplinary teams, social workers , psychologists, nurses workers, psychologists, nurses and the doctors. they are surrounded by the family, friends in london, police have arrested a protester at a pro—palestinian march on suspicion of inciting racial hatred . hatred. >> officers say he was seen carrying a placard with nazi symbols on it. tens of thousands of demonstrators are calling for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. police officers have been handing out leaflets warning against using words or images that are, in their words, likely to land you in jail. around 1300 officers have been deployed for today's protests. ismail patel from friends of al—aqsa , a group from friends of al—aqsa, a group that campaigns for palestinian rights , told gb news what rights, told gb n

part of the gilad shalit exchange as well. he is leading this a very hamas effort of taking the hostages of the terroristic act that in the south of israel. can he be trusted? you see in a different space today that he is in a different part of his career? >> his name is a guy gets in war. he is, in effect, the osama bin laden of hamas. he is the number one terrorist leader. now, it's like asking the united states after 9/11, six weeks after 9/11, can't just negotiate with osama bin laden? no, we can't. we're going to have to hunt them down. we're going to have to kill them. and i think that's the ultimate objective of the idf here. they're going to have to take out the leadership of hamas. there may be people inside the palestinian community, there may be people inside gaza, who are going to be part of a future governance, future security structure, of gaza. i think that is understood. but this guy, yes in war, who came out of prison and engineered and masterminded the massacre of 1300 israelis, raping of women, beheading of

ambassador gilad erdan. >> mr.cretary-general, the u.n. was established to prevent atrocities, to prevent such atrocities like the barbaric atrocities that hamas committed. but the u.n. is failing. the u.n. is failing. and you, mr. secretary-general, have lost all morality and impartiality, because when you say those terrible words that these heinous attacks did not happen in a vacuum, you are tolerating terrorism. and by tolerating terrorism, you are justifying terrorism. amy: that's israel's ambassador to the united nations. craig mokhiber, your response? craig: well, of course, you can imagine why the ambassador would want to start the clock only in october and to ignore the decades upon decades of persecution against the palestinian people in gaza, in the west bank, in jerusalem, inside israel proper. but that is not the kind of assessment that leads to peace or leads to an improved situation on the ground. the secretary-general was doing his job. he had condemned the loss of civilian life in the hamas attack,

kept in them, it is reliably known that through it they kidnapped an israeli defense force soldier, giladant shalit ended happily back in 2011, then the soldiers were released, a treasure trove of israeli victories, this case cannot be recorded, because in exchange for a soldier, tel aviv released more than a thousand palestinian prisoners. of course, they take into account experience, of course, they understand that earlier those operations that were, the last operation summer lead, destroyed about 15 to 20% of the underground communications there, but new ones are being created, old ones that were previously destroyed are being restored, of course, it will be impossible to detect all these holes and holes at the same time, but they themselves... such a task, that’s complete, complete elimination, therefore, of these structures, for almost 20 years now israel has been drowning, bombing, and throwing explosives at these tunnels, but the network continues to grow, like a hydro. 2 years ago they even finished building an underground wall on the border with the gas sector, a barrier in tens

his name is gilad. two of his grandchildren, including his 3-year-old granddaughter, are being held in gaza right now, and he told us that until he has them in his arms, this nightmare is not over. take a listen. >> i saw him here, i see him here in house, then i will believe it. i don't believe nothing yet. >> if you could speak to your family now, what would you tell them? >> that i promise that i do anything to release them. >> reporter: and chris, just agony for that grandfather, agony for so, so many families in israel, in the united states, around the world. chris, i can tell you that the israeli government has drawn up incredibly detailed guidelines about how to handle these children when they emerge from gaza. remember, we believe that they have been held in tunnels for most, if not all of the 47 days that they have been held hostage. they may not have seen sunlight. they may have seen and experienced terrible things. so beyond just the medical care that they need, the israeli government is tell

when it comes to hostage negotiations and trades in this particular case, we can go back to gilad shalit was just him for over a thousand that were held by israel. in this case, we're at 50 and 150. in terms of proportionality when you're looking at how they are deciding how many to release on both sides, what does that tell you as a negotiator? >> actually it's not a concern. getting hostage back is what counts. when you have several out there, and we're trying like with russia, you just don't turn down taking someone back saying, oh, we want more type of thing. it's almost always been we traded two americans before. we've done that back and forth. we found out there's a back deal releasing almost 40 taliban out of the afghan prison, so it's never about an exact proportion to it. it's about having an end state to get them all back at one point. that's why i think it's important that the proof of life of who they have right now, kind of dictates how we're going to do it later. >> i'm going back to this video from hamas, that we're showing on the left side of the screen right now, and thi

it all exchanges with gilad shalit, an israeli soldier , a few years israeli soldier, a few years ago was in captivity for a few years and eventually he was exchanged for more than a thousand. just one man, more than 1000 palestinian prisoners . than 1000 palestinian prisoners. now, in this case, it gets because as as we were discussing, it's being done in stages. and towards the latter stages. and towards the latter stages. they've just started with civilians, foreign nationals . and when it gets to nationals. and when it gets to israeli soldiers , we will see if israeli soldiers, we will see if hamas will be willing to get rid of to let go of those as well or not. and also because they will know that once they've given all the hostages, they are toast. yeah there's carpet bombing for them and something was said. >> interesting was that >> what was interesting was that the are going into the the israelis are going into the west bank and they're arresting everybody in the west. a lot of people in the west bank and then shipping them to the gaza, which is like , i guess the east bank,

rating, he exchanged 1021 palestinian militants, of which 400 were convicted of murder, for one soldier gilade. .. released then are the leaders of hamas now loud history, the result would have been obtained, so now, when he made his statement, he said: it’s a difficult decision, but all the services supported me, that is, he dilutes the responsibility, that it’s not me doing it, it’s our common decision. the next fact, now, they have already taken into account past experience, they only release children and women under 19 years old, and on both sides , which is up to 17, even in my opinion, well, somewhere the number sounded up to 19, which is not not... let 's just say , were not, at least the palestinians were convicted of murder, for something else, that is , some such not serious articles but accordingly, the palestinians also release women, children and mothers, and for gaza, for hamas, this is also a very important political component, the people are putting pressure on them and saying, look what’s happening, we have nothing to eat, and they need a pause to get humanitarian aid, well,

. >> reporter: seven members of gilad's family were kidnapped, including his 3-year-old granddaughter, who he hoped might be free by now. if you could speak to your family now, what would you tell them? >> that i promise that i'd do anything to release them. >> reporter: israel issuing guidelines for dealing with child hostages after their release, telling soldiers not to immediately answer questions about families, heartbreakingly relevant for 3-year-old american abigail moore idan who may not know both her parents were murdered by hamas. she turns 4 years old on friday. as fighting rages in gaza, israel still under pressure to justify its raid on al shifa hospital. the military revealing more of the tunnels under the hospital, which they say were operated by hamas. >> uses the hospital as a human shield. >> reporter: bathrooms off the tunnel shaft. it comes as gaza residents also wait for a pause in strikes, but any cease-fire will come too late for more than 5,000 palestinian children killed so far according to the red crescent. and it's unlikely displaced people will be able to re
