security cabinet will we need to go on tuesday afternoon to decide what their next steps will be stephanie decker al-jazeera on the israel gaza border. the gray zone projects and online news websites and he says the background to the gaza raid is linked to israeli policy politics. it's important to have the context behind the israeli raid which was as we all know botched. the raid was probably in my view the product of benjamin netanyahu throwing a bone at the ministers like defense minister avigdor lieberman to his right who have been urging a military assault on gaza for years and who were extremely hostile to the settlement that was reached just a day before the raid and so netanyahu finds himself again under enormous pressure from these ministers another important development is that moments before israel bombed the al aqsa t.v. station in gaza city it was poised to release a video showing. an alkie some team hitting a israeli bus with a coronet missile near jabalya and gaza's north now if you actually watch that video which was subsequently released the optics are really interesting in this

the same thing now the announcement was met with celebrations in gaza and protests in israel stephanie decker following that story for us she joins us from west jerusalem stephanie how much stomach was there or is there i guess on either side for more violence at this point. both sides of maintained for a long time that they don't want a full on military escalation because the question is you know what is it going to achieve we've been here before multiple times in military conflict or is ends up in destruction but then they still have to sit at the table negotiate and figure out how to move forward but having said that what we witnessed over the last forty eight hours was the worst escalation between the two sides in years if you look at the amount of rockets fired out of gaza four hundred sixty according to the israeli army even though it wasn't done jaring the two thousand and fourteen war israel hit back of course for a major mass in infrastructures according to the army is one hundred sixty targets but yes we have now seen once again a deescalation but it remains fragile people you speak
