you said the hamas numbers.that the defense forces as stated clearly, and it does not make it any easier for the civilians, half of the fatalities are hamas fighters. if i'm allowed to present that number, 15,000 hamas terror fighters and 15,000 uninvolved civilians. that is the horrible price of war. when i ask about what we were supposed to do, this war was initiated by hamas. they are trying to keep the capability to do the attack they did on october 7. the systematic infrastructure of trying to dissolve that is not an easy thing to do. that is the military aspect. the casualties, my heart breaks over every single one. i will just say, the situation inside israel is not a happy one. everything we just described was our own failure to defend ouelves from the beginning. from having that happen at all. here we are. this is the way we're going to go about it. both to get the hostages and make sure hamas cannot create an attack like that again. anchor: those 15,000 fighters, we do not have any independent verifica

, hamas.will not achieve that directive, that israel must use other ways. where do you stand in that divide? look, i think that today, a new chapter eventually starts in this war. the last big level of division, the gaza strip, only one out of 30 brigade level units now remain inside gaza. it is by the very fact a new chapter. now, it is a debate within our cabinet. i belong to those who think that it is notjust of the worst that it is notjust the worst day, but in spite of the devotion, sacrifice, and the courage of our fighting soldiers, it was very poorly managed strategically. there was an inability by the prime minister to take the strategic choices and decisions that have to be made during the war. i am a great believer in the old saying that if you don't know which end you want to reach, no wind will take you there. know which port you want to reach, no wind will take you there. for a reason it has to do with political interest, that was the proper way of running the war. netanyahu bloc

thank ou so hamas should take seriously. thank you so much- _ hamas should take seriously. much. we will have - hamas should take seriously. thank you so much. we will have more - you so much. we will have more analysis later on on that speech. stay with us here on bbc news. more to come. hello again. as we go through this week, it's going to turn warmer than it has been, but not necessarily drier. you can see from the yellows and the ambers and the chart across the uk that the temperature is rising and it's going to be higher than last week. we drag in an easterly that will also bring in some low cloud, mist and murk in the middle part of the week onwards. but what we have at the moment is rain pushing northwards and eastwards, clearing northern ireland, leaving showers which could be heavy and thundery for you. the brightest, sunniest skies will be in the south—east and here you could catch the odd shower, but also the highest temperatures at 18 degrees. 11 in stornoway. as we head through the evening and overnight, the rain continues to push northwards and eastwards and

in this war that hamas started. and why are they starting is? -- starving? why are they hungry? if the last week over 1,000 trucks of food and medicine have entered gaza allowed by israel. now there are three new corridors to pass food and medicine to the palestinians. those are opened, too. but hamas always manipulates for political purpose. hamas cares a lot more to win the war of propaganda against israel than the poverty against its own people. so democrats do not have the monopoly on compassion. we are compassionate, too. we republicans. and the compassionate thing to do is to let israel finish this war so they can end the reign of terror that hamas has unleashed on the whole region, specifically on the palestinians. this congress and this great nation has a long tradition of defending the righteous might. and we'll continue our tradition of standing for the freedom of our allies and against terror abroad. we will not stand for one side of calls for israel to stand down. we stand firmly with israel and its righ

victory for hamas terrace calling for an immediate cease-fire in gaza and hamas never obliged by cease-fire israel evacuated embassies and navigational signals over tel aviv raising four potential attack by iran. we got one of the bravest most courageous warriors author, lucas tomlinson lived with the details. >> moments ago officials are the white house said president biden contacted leaders of egypt and qatar to ask them to press hamas to release roughly 100 hostages inside gaza including americans. president biden on his way to baltimore today said he seemed pleased with actions israel has taken hundred threatening yesterday in the wake of watched drone strike. >> stopping military aid to israel. [inaudible] [inaudible] met earlier today israel defense forces will responsibly for the drone strike saying it was quote a great mistake stemming from serious failure due to taken identification, errors in decision-making and in attack contrary to the standard operating procedures. similar drone strike took place during the american withdrawal from afghanistan in 2021 which included my killed t

hamas. today and i surprised can't announcement it is pulling all troops out of southern gaza. they have just one brigade left in the strip the does continue to watch anywhere. it's an opportunity to give combat forces a rest to prepare first future operations negotiators are in cairo egypt trying to hammer out the details of a cease-fire agreement that could break more of the hostages home. one of the women released as part of the novembers cease-fire agreement is speaking out about the conditions hostages face in a new interview with fox news. cooks harsh hygiene conditions almost no running water in the sink. the sand in the tunnels, sand in our mouth. lack of air in the tunnel and heavy shelling. >> the pressure is growing on the government of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to cut a deal weekly demonstrations are also calling for new elections here in israel. netanyahu is resistant to new elections and said this would threaten israel security and war efforts. remain on high al

i think hamas is stalling. | hamas is -- hamas's demands hamas is —— hamas's demands have been far beyond can accept in terms of demanding a permanent ceasefire. thousands of terrorist let out of israeli jails and a return of the entire population to northern gaza, including as many hamas fighters as they can get back into the north. so israel simply cannot accept those conditions. neitherthe simply cannot accept those conditions. neither the united states or egypt or qatar, i don't think, can accept those conditions. they know that they won't go anywhere. but hamas is holding out. i think it believes it has a winning formula. the longer this goes on, the more palestinian suffering and destruction there is, it's clear that the more pressure there is on israel to stop this war, short of an all—out defeat of hamas. meanwhile, there were these fairly large protests across israel demanding the government do more to free hostages and asking for early elections in the country. we have seen the increasing international pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu. how much pressure is he under?

we cannot leave hamas intact. it's like a cancer. in rafah intact, it would take them a few months and they will be all over gaza again, and we will not sit and wait for them to attack us again. so that's why we have no choice... do you not feel that israel is being dragged deeper and deeper into a quagmire which is simply sullying and tarnishing israel's international standing? you know as well as i do that the united nations is now reporting famine in the north of gaza. in that particular area of the strip, one third of all children under two years old are now suffering acute — acute malnutrition. now, this is an area under israeli military control. you are responsible for this. let's be clear on the facts. we don't prevent any humanitarian aid. hundreds, hundreds of trucks are entering gaza every day. but the problem is that hamas is taking control of the aid and the trucks, and it's very hard to get the aid to the people. so, again, the responsibility for the situation you described is on the shoulders of hamas. and i know that m

has hamas in a way they didn't before. you look at the access houthis have had in shutting down shipping in the red sea despite u.s. efforts to resist. you achieve all of this with, until yesterday, a relatively minimal toll of iranian casualties or any real cost for iran. until yesterday i think they would've said we achieved a lot without a good deal of cost. that is just the beginning of the story. that is just the first phase. you have tremendous suffering in gaza. i do not think iranian leaders and regime lose any sleep over that. the only thing they fit -- they don't worry when it happens to their own population, it is hard to imagine they worry about anybody else. but we can turn it around. if we can get the strategic agenda back on track, which i do think it is possible, if we can ensure iran pays the cost for its actions in the region and reopen shipping in the red sea despite houthis efforts to stop it, i think iran will turn around and say there has been a setback strategically but we have not yet gotten to that

it is hamas, it is hamas, who should be wiped off the face of the earth. that that is high view -- my view, we'll talk with the minister who is a senior guy. he is economy minister but a key adviser, he was very critical of qatar, and critical of this phone call between biden and netanyahu. and i will also say, off the record, on the record, if there say new election, in next year, our minister will probably run for prime minister but we'll see, stick for this great interview, but first, and important conversation. with our own peter doocy live at white house. i know you are covering this phone call with netanyahu. z and other things, thank you for helping us, what can you tell us? reporter: call about half an our and read out from white house side is not anything president biden is doing on camera, but a paper statement about what they call quote israel's unacceptable actions that is the thing, it is going to paper that has obama alum, flagging this onx, saying that president does not get credit for being privately enraged he refused to use leverage, thes

>> it helps hamas.arry: yeah, thank you. >> the fact that hamas thinks that there may be differences of opinion between our best friend the united states of america which we want to thank so much for the support that we do get, they give candy out because they think that they can outlast the war. the pressure put on israel, instead of on them, is helping hamas toughen their negotiation stand. you had qatar laughing from the sides because they don't want a deal. they want hamas to win. they're on their side. and we're all getting carried away, instead of uniting together against to choose side. you can't play two sides. larry: i must ask before we leave, and we're honored to have you back. >> my pleasure. larry: will the prime minister, yourself and the cabinet, will you engage in these negotiations with hamas that mr. biden apparently said today in his phone call with netanyahu? will you negotiate with hamas? >> we did negotiate through protection sy -- proxies, bring numerous people, women, unfortunate

we have to understand that the only way to defeat hamas — hamas is an ideology with organisation. military wing of hamas, izz ad—din al-qassam, is only the military wing of this ideology. in order to defeat the ideology, we have to present a better ideology. we are fighting in a war of ideas, and the only way to defeat the horror, the violence, and the concept, the ideology of hamas, which is to create a muslim state, that sharia is the constitution, which is not acceptable by the majority of palestinians, is to present a better political horizon for us and for the palestinians. which is the future of two states living side—by—side. so unless we shall do it, it is not, you know, it will not help us. if we shall kill all the hamas leaders, if we shall kill all hamas activists, on the day after, two palestinian children will take knives and will do everything to kill an israeli or ajew. but if i may say so, mr ayalon, your idea of the only way out of this, which is the two—state solution, it is the idea that drove peres and rabin and arafat to the oslo accords in the early 1990s. it

kamel was hamas , but it has not even reached this issue.this occasion, we are having a conversation with mr. abul fatah, a respected expert on international issues, so that we can hear these points from him, mr. doctor. hello , you are very welcome. please tell me about the issue that the army one of the important goals of the zionist regime was actually the complete destruction of hamas, and it has used all its strength in the past 6 months to destroy this popular force, and now the zionist army is declaring that hamas not completely destroyed, just destroyed, and the telegraph also reported that the leaders of hamas. they are and are still in command of this battle and they are active, and now he is coming, in fact , he is bringing up the discussion of sitting at the negotiating table with hamas . how do you analyze this issue? i do one year before the martyrdom of hazrat amiro, the zionist regime had two or three main goals, one was to destroy hamas as a terrorist group, of course, according to the zionist regime, the united states , eur

and, you know, hamas started this. hamas has held them the palestinian people and they are supporting the palestinian people and need to have an understanding of what's been done to them under a government that's run by hamas. they brought all this hellfire on them. mark stay with us. i have nypd chief of patrol john schell on the phone. gaddafi. i want to get a quick take from you on what's going on in the area near columbia. we see students continuing to march around campus, walk in your folks to, your members of the nypd inside the campus and outside the campus and what are they doing this afternoon? >> right now were doing what we've been doing as a c. outside we have 100 or 150 protesters on broadway outside the school. you see cops monitoring that. in terms of the campus itself that's being handled by campus security and administration. obviously we can go on campus if it's a crime that's been committed. poet can enforce the rules that's up to the school. another still negotiating, it's been going for a week and

and make cease-fire with hamas, hamas hasn't agreed to any of this as usual. >> whenever the unitedaking any deals. hamas says, why should we give up any hostages? biden is doing our job for us. cnn is doing our job, the new york times is doing our job tony blinken is doing our job. there all making is your lose and if they lose, no matter how many people die gaza, hamas will continue so the biden of administration is not only betraying israel, it is betraying the peace process. it is dripping to a continuation of hamas. i have to tell you, if joe biden with his original statement in support of israel, this war would be over. >> i couldn't agree with that more. let me say, we interviewed the economic minister, a rising star -- here's one of his lines yesterday coming up. >> i did not hear one word demanding hamas to surrender. i expect people to say hamas surrender. we will haunt you all over the world. qatar, we are going to haunt you from now on, you have to choose sides. >> i didn't hear hamas surrendering and biden's phone call either. what is this about? >> not even the critici

israel is bent on continuing its campaign to destroy hamas. to be quite honest, i cannot provide you with an rx had to get out of this. i don't think the u.s. is in a position to use the leverage it has. i think we have very little leverage when it comes to hamas and that's where things stand. it's not encouraging. host: this is our first call from richard in michigan on our independent line. good morning, go ahead. caller: i'd like you to confirm and pedro i'd like you to make a pledge and have the host of c-span, whenever someone says that israel is committing genocide, is a blood libel canard because let's just say 35,000 people were killed, at least half of them were soldiers and fighters and if israel wanted to, they could kill hundreds of thousands of people. they've destroyed 50 or 60% of the buildings and only killed that few people, they are either pretty poor aims or they are really not trying to kill everybody. host: that's richard in michigan. guest: the international court of justice and it will take them another two years if that

hamas. meanwhile, there were these fairly _ hamas.ere were these fairly large _ hamas. meanwhile, there were these fairly large protests - these fairly large protests across israel to demand the government do more to free hostages and asking for more early elections in the country. we have seen increasing international pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu, how much pressure is he under, how much pressure is he under, how would you rate the viability of his government now, can he continue to effectively lead israel? it is a big question _ effectively lead israel? it is a big question and - effectively lead israel? it is a big question and it - effectively lead israel? it is a big question and it is - effectively lead israel? it 3 a big question and it is one israelis have to answer. there is a lot of division in the country. the war brought people together to need to respond to hamas. but the divisions that we saw before the war coming back now, the government clearly bears a lot of responsibility for what happened on october

additionally 61% approved of the role played by hamas leader yahya sanwar in gaza. the survey also found that 71% of palestinians in gaza and the west bank believed that the al-aqsa flood operation on october 7th was a correct. decision, representing only a 1% decrease according to a previous survey conducted by the organization and published in december. furthermore, according to the survey, nearly 70% of palestinians called for the dissolution of the palestinian authority. additionally, 90% of palestinians believe that president mahmoud abbas should resign. the survey also showed increase in the percentage of support for armed resistance to confront the occupation with more than 60% of palestinians surveyed believing that resistance is the op. optimal way to end the occupation, the survey results indicate widespread frustration towards the international community, especially the united states of america and major european countries, and even the united nations, which press for immediate cease fire for humanitarian reasons in gaza, and yet zionist israel continues

hamas needs to be defeated.he way to settle this war is for hamas to surrender laid out its arms and give up the hostages. that was the position of the white house until recently. now the intersectional global left has criticized the white house the white house is worried about losing votes from anti- israel left they are effectively caving on policy. from a moral point of view this is a very, very disappointing. did not see a terrorist group bent not on some type of two state solution. it's bent on killing every jew it can find and wiping israel off the face of the earth. if their target was any other ethnic group black americans, hispanics, any one else the global left would be standing up and calling for its annihilation. when it comes to jews there is moral confusion and israel there's always a moral confusion which is seeped into the white house thinking. the effect of the white house calling for an immediate cease-fire or conditioning its arms, this complete change in policy is ongoing to strengthen hamas.

well, the leadership of hamas, achieve? well, the leadership of hamas. some — achieve?hip of hamas, some of _ achieve? well, the leadership of hamas, some of them _ achieve? well, the leadership of hamas, some of them that - achieve? well, the leadership of hamas, some of them that are l achieve? well, the leadership of i hamas, some of them that are not achieve? well, the leadership of - hamas, some of them that are not in gaza, they are based in qatar. in the last week or so, qatar said they didn't really want to continue in that important mediating role they have had, they said there was not necessarily a great deal of benefit to that and that looked like it was setting the talks further back. what we have at the moment are two distinct sets of demands, hamas lay out what they want and the israeli government layout what they want and it is a question of trying to move those two sides as close together as possible. hamas want things like, they are talking about an end to that war, they want a full withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza, they want people to be able to

additionally, 61% approved of the role played by hamas leader yahya sinwar in gaza. the survey also found that 71% of palestinians in gaza and the west bank believed that the al-aqsa flood operation on october 7th was a correct decision, representing only. a 1% decrease according to a previous survey conducted by the organization and published in december. furthermore, according to the survey, nearly 70% of palestinians called for the dissolution of the palestinian authority. additionally, 90% of palestinians believe that president mahmoud abbas should resign. the survey also showed increase in the percentage of support for armed resistance to confront the occupation with more than 60% of palestinians surveyed believing that resistance is the optimal way to end the occupation. the survey results indicate wide spread frustration towards the international community, especially the united states of america and major european countries, and even the united nations, which pressed for immediate cease fire for human. reasons in gaza, and yet zinist israel continues its geno

at the hands of hamas.efense secretary and for israel, austin is telling the truth. according to tomca tom cotton, he said he asked the heads of spy agencies they would not make a statement about genocide, austin is first to make a statement. you may have been in those intel briefings but i'm saying that is terrific. now, why don't we just let israel be israel and idf be idf and finish the job in south gaza and rafah, let them do it. >> right. and so, we would never be okay with another country coming into the united states and saying, hey, i know it is only a week since 9/11, or hey, 6 months since 9/11 you need to back off of those terrorists we would never allow that to happen. it would never be acceptable. it should not be acceptable to the israelis, to have the american president try to dec de detective tate t -- dictate how they will run this war, i am tired as well tom cotton of the spot on, but i'm tired of this administration and their appointed officials doing a fancy tap dance to avoid our direct

in order to harvest hamas. nasser shafa hospitals with the title that now after creating these scenes the zionists left here. the troops left khan yunus to prepare for their upcoming mission . with the destruction of the enemy's targets, hamas stopped its activities throughout the gaza strip. but for a moment before this speech, 14 zionists were killed by hamas from zero distance in khan younis. israel's wars. to prepare to attack rafah in order to destroy the rest of hamas, but it should be seen that instead of killing hamas, they will bring about their own political death there. we want to check the withdrawal of israeli army forces from gaza. i want to discuss this with mr. mansour. barati, an expert on the issues of the zionist regime , mr. barati dear viewers, mr. barati, the first question that exists here is the nature of this exit. the zionist authorities say that their operation in khanyounis is over, that's why they withdrew their forces . the zionists called the battlefield and their argument is that

if hamas does not agree they will see who hamas really is.ian if you try to stand up to hamas will have the half life of a fruit fly part you'renot going to last for like that's what totalitarian regimes do they cannot tolerate dissent. and the sad thing is we have had 5200 instances of anti- somatic rhetoric and incidences in this country recently. 1317 protests. many of which start to parroting anti-semitic vitriol. it is getting to be dangerous and we need leadership from the president. you know why? his two state solution is michigan pennsylvania. eric: let me bring you back to the president san francisco statement back in the 1960s during the antiwar protests, at one point he's the president of the university pulls out the wires from a loudspeaker of some of the demonstrators. do you think some of the college administrators can get some lessons from him who went on to serve in the senate for the golden state in terms of dealing with the protesters as opposed to letting them run rampant? >> the protesters are bullies. these protesters are

, 100% run by hamas. i'm not opposed to humanitarian aid to war-torn places like fwauz but i'm not -- gaza, but i'm not okay with giving aid to terrorists who want to destroy israel and the united states. i'm especially disturbed by giving aid to those who want to destroy israel and the united states who are also holding, also at this point holding american hostages. can you imagine giving aid to a country that wants to -- that -- anybody that wants to hold american hostages? why would we do that? how is that an opinion in the united states senate. how have they fallen so far from its base saying no, we will not provide humanitarian aid unless we certify it won't go to terrorists who are holding hostages is not an okay position to take, okay position to even vote on? the eight americans held hostage by hamas have been held in captivity for 200 days. we believe five are still alive and three are dead and hamas is holding their bodies and robbing their families of the ability to bury their loved ones even w
