to run which killed ismail haniyeh, his predecessor the leader of the political wing of hamas, hamaser of hamas altogether, which was a deliberate and conscious decision to send a signal of defiance that they were not going to go down a more compromising route, they appointed the most hard—core opponent of israel they could possibly find, a man who is been steeped in violence and opposition to israel. he spent 22 years and israeli jails, learned fluent hebrew. even while injail, he was learned fluent hebrew. even while in jail, he was a feared character, he was a big daddy on the wing. he had other people looking up to him in jail, and he really understood a lot about the israeli mindset. he read israeli newspapers, and was a very cunning strategist. i don't want to bring him up in that sense, but ijust say want to bring him up in that sense, but i just say for israel, he was a formidable full, and someone who was been on their target list for a long time. he would be mourned by some gazans, certainly by eight hamas members, they will declare him a martyr, it will quickly replace the

hamas denies the claims.ere are tens of thousands trapped in northern gaza. an assessment released a delivery to resumed after threatening to reserve assistance from israel. the israeli elsewhere, hezbollah and israeli troops clash while hezbollah said it hit four israeli tanks with guided missiles on thursday. video shows an israeli flag flying over the damaged lebanese village of aita al—shaab, where heavy fighting continues. and for more persepctive on his death, i wasjoined earlier by sarit zehavi, a former member of the idf and the founder of the alma center— a thinktank focussing on israel's security challenges. what impact you the gaz had that israel has killed hamas's leader? i think two directions. if the area that israel is not going to go anywhere. we are here to stay and we are going to fight until the end, that's very important. i can't, all of us here today truly hope it will bring some kind of breakthrough with regards of the hostages' release. we saw 101 and gaza and we hope that those who are

he never mentioned hamas. he cannot mention hamas.we have radicals, and we do, but, you know, very few, we arrest them, we indict them. but the pa, they glorify them and they make them heroes and they pay them salaries. and you come and ask me about those incidents, and you don't speak about the culture of hate that we are facing, not from hamas, from abbas, from the pa. and that's what i'm worried about, because many people discuss the future with the palestinians. but i expect the palestinians to distinguish themselves from hamas and condemn hamas. that will be a sign for the future. ambassador, we've ranged over discussion of front lines from gaza to lebanon to the west bank to iran. whichever front line we're talking about, surely it comes back to — what is the vision that israel has when the fighting stops? let me just give you this thought from jake sullivan, national security advisor tojoe biden, who says, quote, "israel needs to turn whatever tactical wins "it scores in battle into a strategy "that can secure israel's people a

hamas is weak. they may do a few things and the ambassador mentioned before, shooting a couple of hundred rockets does not mean they are not going to do things here and there, but you have a system where the leader is eliminated. we need to get our boys home. >> that raises the question: how weak is hamas? the reason why israel has been acting cautiously in terms of gaza, even though it seems like they have obliterated it, there are still pockets of hamas resistance hiding in bunkers, in tunnels, who can take some serious israeli casualties. we saw that not long ago when we saw a squad of israeli soldiers taken out. to put american boots on the ground would obviously presents enormous risk to them unless hamas is weakened to the point where you can just walk in and do not have to worry much about taking casualties. how weak to think they really are? all. >> they fighting guerrilla war, so their leadership structure has been stricken in a really bad way. they have miles of tunnels is not easy. i don'

the face very much of hamas.s is a moment where netanyahu, if he wants, can claim victory crucially from the u.s. effective. it also opens up the possibility of restarting what were effectively dead ceasefire negotiations. and that now is expected to be according to western diplomats, a large focus of the talks with president joe biden heading for or arriving in europe shortly here, the israeli government also now looking at this and its security cabinet meetings looking to see what what effect this has on, on high hostage and ceasefire negotiations. although we haven't reported official confirmation yet of sinwar's death, we are already seeing some of the ministers and some of the highest levels officials in the government celebrating such as the speaker of the knesset, who along with a picture of sinwar and his body tweeted a year ago, he was successful. now he is the eliminated the minister of culture and sport also tweeting something in a similar vein. so you're seeing the messages start to come out here as w

hamas is over. hamas as we know it is over. politically.ather than a political organisation, is that what you're saying?— organisation, is that what ou're sa in? ,, ., ., you're saying? less than that. also militarily. _ you're saying? less than that. also militarily. they _ you're saying? less than that. also militarily. they have - you're saying? less than that. also militarily. they have had| also militarily. they have had several huge blows. but hamas is not an army, it is a national liberation movement. that means that to turn gaza or afghanistan or iraq, you have to turn it into hell for idf. so hamas is over, absolutely, but the idea of hamas is not over, of course. until un through occupation, you will have some kind of reaction, some kind of resistance. the main question is not what changed for hamas, nothing changed for hamas, nothing changed for hamas, nothing changed for hamas. i know that in the west, it might be hard to understand, but nothing changed. it all changed for benjamin netanyahu, so what is he going to do with gaza?

hamas attacked him among the first. here they killed 62 people, and another... 19 were taken to gaza as hostages, this sound was the hum of an israeli drone heading towards gaza, later we heard explosions, families mourning their loved ones and all grieving for the country, its prem he promised a complete victory over hamas. a year later, hamas is still fighting. the ground around one of the houses has been dug up, it was the house of nirelyazini and his bride, niv reviv, both of whom were killed by hamas. father was absent for several weeks. looked for his head and never found it, the neighbor says, it is here at every step a nightmare was brewing. we are still traumatized, we are not over the trauma as they say. people, we are still here, we are still here in the war. my victory is when i will live here with my son and daughter, with my grandchildren, and we will live in peace. for israelis, kfar aza and other places attacked by hamas on october 7 became a repository of a very deep and still unhealed national trauma,

and i put the blame squarely on hamas hamas is the one that hides among the civilians. there, the ones that are causing the civilian casualties. israel is taking extraordinary steps, not to kill civilians, but hamas is doing everything in its power to make sure that that that death toll goes up. because then the international community can come to its aid. i think that israel needs to press on congressman i we initially were going to bring you on to talk about the u.s. presidential election, obviously, with this breaking news, this is a huge development in the conflict. and so it takes precedence. i do wonder if you think at all, if in any way this might have an impact on the election? >> i'm not so. i think the number one issues here and america although it should be an issue for us, i think the number one issue or the economy, immigration and the like. i think that's what is going to determine this election. i also think that to a certain extent americans posture in the world, it's definitely been weakened during the last three-and-a-hal f years and we need to restore

so there has been mixed emotions towards hamas as an organization. and of course internationally hamas, you'd, widely as terrorist organization, yahya sinwar, enemy number one for the israeli government, who from the outset of this we'll have expressed their intention to eliminate yahya sinwar and other senior leaders. and that is what we have been seeing as you just heard that we've seen the leader of hezbollah sohnlein hassan nasrallah killed. we saw earlier in the year, hamas deputy political leader, saleh al-arouri assassinated in beirut related. so it's made and near the political leader assassinated two. so we have been seeing these senior figures across what hamas and hezbollah being targeted directly by the israelis israeli military. of course, it remains to be confirmed whether indeed yehia sinwar has in fact been killed. israeli military is still carrying out. their assessments. so we have no update on that. just yet for many in gaza, of course it remains to be seen how this translates on the ground, what this means for israel's military op

so will this blow to -- to -- to hamas and yahya sinwar and the hamas leadership be the death of hamas or will it be the rebirth of something that is pot shally just as radical or even more radical because how do things improve? what is the offramp for gaza? the gaza strip has been devastated. more than 40,000 people killed there and two-thirds of the buildings, i believe, is the latest estimate has been damaged or destroyed and a tremendous amount of misery and suffering and a sense of hopelessness and hopelessness breeds extremism. so this could be very important tactically and very important psychologically for the israeli people. it could have direct consequences and perhaps very devastating consequences for the hostages. we don't know. we'll have to see on that, but will this be the end of militancy in gaza? i don't believe so by any stretch of the imagination and we still don't know whether this will be an offramp for prime minister netanyahu. will this just be more encouragement that he tps to put push his position when it comes to iran. >> i want to bring in -- officials condit

of hamas killed in july and of the military wing of hamas killed injuly and then when israel turnedlah in lebanon, that there had been this cross—border fighting there had been this cross—borderfighting going on cross—border fighting going on for the cross—borderfighting going on for the duration of the war in gaza between israel and hezbollah in lebanon as well, still we had a quick series of what was seen by as military successes, including the assassination of the long—time hezbollah leader. on top of that, the main scalp israel wanted, that of yahya sinwar in gaza. but this is going to be a time where a lot of attention comes to what happens next in terms of post—war plans for gaza and really underlines how there is not a clear plan for what happens next, apart from a continuing israeli military occupation there. it is clear israel still has not achieved its main war goals. it says it wants to make sure it defeats hamas in terms of political and military capabilities, still remains something of a fighting force. we expect yahya sinwar will be replaced as leader, just as his pred

sinwar was the held of hamas. he was said to be the one who was staunchly against most of the peace negotiations, really wanted a lot more than israel was willing to give when you talk to experts in the region. they says two men made it almost impossible to come to an agreement for peace between the israelis and the palestinians. now that sinwar is gone, who are the israelis looking for? what are they hoping to do in gaza? what more is there to do according to them? >> well, if they're looking for someone to negotiate with, they don't have anybody right now. we don't know who is going to fill the vacuum at the top of hamas, which is a severely degraded fighting force. there are no more rockets flying into israeli territory, for example, the head of the political wing, you mentioned at the top of your program, katy, ismail haniyeh was assassinated. yahya sinwar is now gone. there is no one to negotiate with. what is left, really, of this political strategic operational leadership in the group that could, you know,

hamas denies this. have been accused by the international criminal court of war crimes. it says hamas leaders are responsible for the murder of civilians, torture, sexual violence and hostage taking. of the three accused, yahya sinwar is the only one still believed to be alive. hamas says the plan for october 7th was "to conduct an operation "against military targets", but the involvement of unaffiliated palestinians and other armed groups led to "chaos in the field" and "the occurrence of many mistakes." israeli leaders benjamin netanyahu and yoav gallant, the defence minister, are accused by the international criminal court of starving civilians as a method of warfare and intentionally directing attacks against civilians. we are victims of terrorism - and we are protecting ourselves. but nonetheless, the numbers of civilians dead, the women and the children, tens of thousands... we don't want to kill| any innocent people. we just, we're just| after the terrorists. on a single night in april, iran fire

hamas that sit outside have slightly different opinions. this isn't about hamas suddenly recognizing the state of israel, but it's about a willingness to arrive at some kind of resolution that could work for both sides. >> and what is then the continuing strategy because it seems to me that if this is such a landmark achievement and if the decimation or the decapitation of metrics. then is it, is it fair to ask, was it necessary to destroy 75% of all the buildings in gaza? and have all these civilian casualties if what was really being, being the real strategy was to get these people most of them all. but sinwar, i think what gotten through very careful intelligence and strategic, very limited strikes that? you need to destroy three-quarters of gaza's buildings to achieve this fareed, i'm going to push back a bit at the question itself, because at the end of the day, hamas is the one under yahya sinwar, as they're calling him the executer in the mastermind of the two fun flood the al aqsa to found flood on october 7 and they are the ones wh

this is the israel-hamas war. this is a war hamas started by sinwar.ortunity is to bring 101 hostages home, perhaps whoever steps in that -- there are lots who can step into that position, will be able to arrive at a resolution to what is the core issue, 101 people. >> looking at this last year, looking back at this last year and the significance of sinwar in what happened october 7 and what has been happening for years there -- let's not forget sinwar joined hamas in the '80s when the charter of hamas called for the elimination of the state of israel but also for jews. what is the message you think in all of this if it is confirmed that he was killed? >> i'm going to be -- hamas is not going to disappear. that's one of the things that constantly is the biggest challenge for me is that, why aren't people talking about what you just mentioned? their charter. they call us pigs, jews, amongst other things in their charter. sinwar was a hard-liner within. there are other hard-liners. he led this militant line, that terrorism could destroy israel. you can t

it is hamas that is holding the hostages.put pressure on hamas, not the israeli government here. what is your response to that? >> ok, putting pressure -- me, in person come i cannot put pressure on hamas. of course, hamas is a heinous organization. hamas is the one that did the heinous doings of october 7, murdering, butchering, raping, burning, and taking hostages. but, the only establishment i can demand the return of my son, the only establishment who is responsible for israeli citizens and soldiers is the israeli government. and they have to offer a generous enough deal for hamas so they will agree for a deal. sumi: before we let you go, could you tell us a bit about nimrod, your son, what you think is important to know about who he is, what type of person he is. >> my son is a person, a normal boy like every other boy in the world. likes music, likes taking trips. a shy boy. l m the peacemaker. usually makes the piece between brother. sister and older he's a normal boy. we are talking about him not because he something

the hamas operation has so far killed more than 1,400 israeli soldiers and settlers. the list of confirmed lost israeli equipment was filled with numerous military vehicles, including tanks, tactical vehicles and bulldozers. these figures based on available footage, may in reality, be at least one. third higher accounting for statistical error. palestinian fighters are reported to have successfully neutralized four israeli military helicopters using rocket launchers. additionally, the incorporation of rad antitank missiles into their arsenal indicates the comprehensive readiness of palestinian forces for urban warfare scenarios. within hours of the attack that shocked the world, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was calling it a dark day and declaring war on hamas. in attempt to mend its damaged reputation, israel imposed a complete siege on gaza, severing access to water, food and electricity for its 2.2 million residents. israel has officially affirmed its commitment to the disbandment of the hamas administration, a commitment that faces... substantial hurdl

without hamas in power. we will not give up on these goals, and i will always work to create a future of peace, dignity, and security for all. thank you all. >> is the u.s. asking israel to end the war now, madame vice president? >> vice president kamala harris who is in milwaukee, wisconsin, where she is going to be attending a campaign event, la crosse, wisconsin, a little bit later today, but you heard what she would to say, justice has been served, yahya sinwar had american blood on his hands. she spoke of the 250 hostages. there are still americans being held. she also added hamas is decimated. this is an opportunity to finally end the war in gaza. her statement before the cameras came simultaneously with a statement from the white house. we mentioned just a short time ago that president joe biden is on air force one on his way o germany. his statement says among other things this is a good day for israel, the united states and for the world. after over 1,200 people were killed, the deadliest day for je

israel blames hamas saying that it is hamas he wants the war to go on and expand across the region.nding? whenever we asked hamas, back in qatar last week when we went to see them, they said what israel wants is to surrender. we are not going to do this, we will fight to the end. this is the message we are getting from them all the time, that we are ready to do a ceasefire and make concessions and they said they have already made big concessions by not having the line guaranteed at the end of the war, back injuly the 2nd when they accepted the joe biden initiative. all the time they choose israel and benjamin netanyahu personally, that he is the one that willing to do the deal. talking about hamas one year on, just a few minutes ago, hamas are still capable of firing rockets from gaza that reach central israel in tel aviv. it doesn't mean hamas military has not received a significant amount of damage, but they are still, after one year of the 7th of october attack, they are still able to have some sort of ability to fire rockets. and we know there are some groups and formation in ga

and hamas. and then as someone who was key in the october removing the top leadership in this way weakens or decimates hamas. i think there's not is not in accordance with reality and the fact is that because of the way that he was killed, and we can talk about that and because of the way that israel has been waging, if genocide over the past year there will be an increasing commitment to hamas and growing membership base. and we'll have to wait to see who they elect as the new leader. but i don't i think hamas, we can say is this weekend, but certainly not decimated. >> do you think that his having been eliminated means there is more likely there will be some kind of a ceasefire deal and a return of hostages was he the obstacle to that deal? >> i heard what your previous speaker said and i think it's ludicrous that we're still in a conversation about sinwar having been the obstacle when everyone, including the americans have admitted that netanyahu has been and the key obstacle and every certai

hamas inside gaza.r screen are important to talk about as we cover this story. it's the families of the hostages that remain inside the gaza strip. they are urging the israeli leadership to use this moment to reach some sort of agreement and get the remaining hostages out of gaza. because -- as we talk here, and we should dive into this for a moment. we have been covering this story i think for 374 days now. from the beginning of this coverage, we have focused on the families of the hostages and of the hostages that are still being held inside of gaza. we have sat down with those released as part of the november cease-fire deal. some of the hostages had actually met yahya sinwar in the tunnels beneath gaza. one conversation -- still waiting for october 8th to begin. the israeli public cannot move forward. they have been waiting not just for the leadership of hamas to be taken out, but arguably more importantly for their fellow citizens to return home. there are two major stories we are covering in paral

hamas will no longer rule in gaza. it is the beginning of the day after for hamas.he opportunity for the residents of gaza to liberate yourselves from tyranny. >> your leaders are running away and they will be taken down. if you take down your weapons and return our hostages we will allow you to come out and live. let me also say if you hurt our hostages, you will be taken down. we will settle the score. >> joe biden released a statement in support of israel and called sinwar's death a relief. speaking to people in germany, he said sinwar's death made him feel more hopeful about the prospect of a cease-fire. gaza's hamas run civil defense agency said at least 22 people are dead and dozens more injured in an israeli strike on a building. the school was sheltering displaced families. the israeli military said the site was an operational meeting .4 hamas. it name 12 men. dozens of operatives in the building at the time. hamas denies those claims. more than 50,000 people fled in response to hostilities. you an official said there are thousands trapped in northern gaza i

you keep saying that hamas absolutely refused to negotiate. as far as all these people involved in negotiations, they all say that hamas agreed 100% to the proposal -- >> no, they don't. that's not what happened. you and i have been through this before. they came back with a counter proposal, which is not an acceptance of the proposal that was put forward and endorsed by the united nations security council. if i give you a proposal and you come back and say i agree to seven of the things you proposed and on these three others, i have major changes -- that is not an acceptance of my proposal. >> [indiscernible] >> is there a question? >> i will just say at this point, yes, i do have a couple questions. hamas would look back and reassess what happened -- >> i did not say they would. i said i hope they would. >> yes, that you hope they would. would you be willing to negotiate with hamas directly? quick snow. hamas is a terrorist organization in the united states is not engage with terrorist organizations, but we will engage with our mediators, wh

hamas. he said there's still more work to be, to do. what lies ahead yeah. >> and also, i think when he said this more work to do, that was a message to the israeli people that there was cause for celebration. but it's not all done yet. and i think there was also a message there as well to the region where he talked about essentially going after this sort of access iran without saying it in as many words. so i think you get the impression there that really, unless hamas, despite the pressure and the wishes of the united states, that this could be an off-ramp, a diplomatic office from that, he still feels that there is more military work to be done against hamas, even though they cannot really fire a volley of missiles or their disorganized on the ground that just lost their leader his indicating that an s they hand over the hostages then they're also going to be chased down as well. so i think this is still a work in progress, and i think that's very much the view from the from the prime min
