the proposals are part of a series of broad principles set out by yoav gallant.america and europe's most senior diplomats head to the middle east to press israel on its strategy. well, yoav gallant�*s ideas that have been briefed to reporters and official policy and they do appear to reject positions put forward last year by washington. so what are they? well, under yoav gallant�*s so called fork on the proposals, hamas would no longer control gaza and israel would retain overall security control. a multinational force would take charge of rebuilding in the territory. neighbouring egypt would take on a roll, but yoav gallant did not say what exactly that would be. he did say that gaza would be run by a palestinian administration, but yet it is not clear who. there would be no resettlement of israeli citizens in the territory. the deputy secretary general of the fatah central committee, the highest decision—making part of the fatah party in the west bank gave us his response to those proposals. let me say that the palestinians are not the children of a lesser god,

separately, israel's defence minister, yoav gallant, has been outlining the idf�*s next stage of its allant said it would include a new targeted approach in northern gaza and a continued search for hamas leaders in the south. he also said that after the war, hamas would no longer control gaza. mr gallant said that as long as there was no threat to israel, palestinians would control gaza. a regional branch of the islamic state has claimed responsibility for a deadly dual explosion in iran earlier this week. the country held a day of mourning on thursday, after 84 people were killed by explosions. they happened near an event to mark the fourth anniversary of the killing of the iranian general qassem soleimani in a us drone strike. washington says they are in no position to doubt the responsibility of isis—k, an islamist extremist group seeking to merge eastern iran with afghanistan. uk monitoring officials say a merchant vessel in the arabian sea was attacked by a group of armed people. it's the 25th attack or hijacking of a commercial ship in the region since mid—november, the majority

we heard from the israeli defense minister, yoav gallant, who said the israeli authorities were determinedurity situation in northern israel to allow the return of thousands of residents who have been evacuated because of those constant attacks by hezbollah. but he also said there was a short window of opportunity for a diplomatic solution to the crisis there. and those comments followed a speech by the influential leader of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah, in which he described the assassination that happened here in beirut as a flagrant israeli aggression. but, crucially, he did not make any threat to act against israel. now, hassan nasrallah is expected to address his supporters again on friday, and any response from hezbollah is likely to be measured to avoid a strong israeli response and a potential catastrophic conflict for lebanon. firas maksad is a senior fellow at the middle east institute think tank, and an adjunct professor at george washington university. i spoke to him a little earlier about the spreading regional unrest from the conflict in gaza. i'd like to start with the killin

one unanswered question is, the israeli defence minister, yoav gallant, hasjust outlined his plan whichresented to the war cabinet. it's not official government policy, but it does give an indication of what the senior israeli leadership might be thinking. under yoav galla nt�*s "four corner" proposals, hamas would no longer control gaza and israel would retain overall security control. a multinational force would take charge of rebuilding. neighbouring egypt would take on an unspecified role. but gaza would be run by palestinians, as long as they are not hostile towards israel. it's not clear who those palestinians might be, if anyone would take on that role, or if the people of gaza would be willing to accept it. the proposals are also a long way from the two—state solution, with an independent palestine existing alongside israel. let's bring you some reaction. dr sabri saidam is the deputy secretary general of the fatah central committee. that is the highest decision—making body of the party that controls the palestinian authority in the west bank. very good to have you with this. fi

israel's defence minister, yoav gallant, has also been outlining israel's plans for the next stage ofn the northern section, while continuing its search for hamas leaders in the south. in a statement, mr gallant said that after the war, hamas would no longer control gaza, which would be run by palestinian bodies, as long as there was no threat to israel. we will take over exactly what that means. let's speak to mara rudman, a former senior us national security official. thank you so much for coming on the programme. thank you so much for coming on the programme-— programme. thanks for having me. quite a lot going _ programme. thanks for having me. quite a lot going on _ programme. thanks for having me. quite a lot going on in _ programme. thanks for having me. quite a lot going on in the - programme. thanks for having me. quite a lot going on in the last - quite a lot going on in the last couple of hours, those couple of statements. should we start with this idea that israel talking it out effectively what happens the day after as it has become known. we learned there this idea that i

afirmans que israel, no water, no fuel, the defense force agrees, on 9 october, the defense minister yoav gallantve a situation update to the army where he said that as israel was imposing a complete siege on gaza, there would be no electricity, no food, water, no fuel, everything would be closed because israel is fighting human animals. speaking to troops on the gaza border, he instructed them, that he has released all the restraints and that gaza won't return to what it was before, we will eliminate everything, we will reach all places, eliminate everything, reach all places without any restrains. the theme of destruction of human animals was reiterated by an israeli army coordinator of government activities in the territories on 9 october 2023, who, an address to hamas and the residents of gaza, stated that hamas has become isis and that the citizens of gaza are celebrating instead of being horrified. he concluded that human animals are dealt with accordingly. israel has imposed total blockade on gaza, no electricity, water, just damage. you wanted hell, you will get hell.

we've heard a proposal from yoav gallant. general security being on israel, israel essentially being responsible for the security presence in gaza and some sort of palestinian governors with no specifications on who exactly is going to govern gaza. the the state department, the secretary of state has to really galvanize notjust the israeli side and the arab negotiators and the palestinians. he has to come up with a unified stance from israel itself, which we don't have. this was the proposal, and it's just a proposal for now from yoav gallant. it hasn't been agreed on by the right wing, the rest of the right wing government. you've got the finance minister, you've got the security national security ministers essentially calling for the displacement and the relocation of people of gaza. this has been described as extremists and inflammatory comments. so trying to bridge the gap within the netanyahu government is a difficult mission. trying to come up with a unified stance that he can then take to the arab negotiating negotiato

as we've reported — the israeli defence minister yoav gallant has outlined his proposals for the futureaza — once the fighting is over. they involve limited palestinian rule — and israel retaining overall security control. let's put that into the context of the recent history of gaza. the territory was controlled by egypt, until it was captured by israel during the six—day war in 1967. the israeli military remained there — and 21 israeli settlements were constructed — until 2005. then, all of the soldiers and settlers withdrew. in 2007 hamas took full control of gaza. a year after it won a general election, violently ousting palestinian authority forces. israel and egypt tightened their blockade of the territory. the un still considers gaza to be occupied by israel. there have been several full scale conflicts between israel and palestinian groups based in gaza since then — including limited israeli ground invasions injanuary 2009, and in 2014. shaimaa khalil is in west bank — and gave us this analysis of how the palestinians are likely to respond. one of the most problematic parts of t

the israeli defence minister yoav gallant has accused hamas of using psychological abuse over the fatethe hostages. our middle east correspondent wyre davies told me more from eastjerusalem. this will be very distressing for the families of the hostages — of course notjust those directly involved, but the families of the 130 or so hostages thought to still be held in captivity. hamas has done this thing before, trying to put pressure on the israeli government to call a cease—fire in order to release the hostages safely. but this episode has been particularly distressing and i think brutal. these videos were released in three trenches — the first videos show just the three hostages speaking, it wasn't clear when the images were taken. the second video which was released this morning showed the three people again, but suggested that their fate wasn't known — they might be alive, they might be dead — and people might know tonight. and tonight, a third video has been released showing two of the male hostages apparently killed. now the video says they were killed in an israeli air strike —

on friday defence minister yoav gallant said israel would be responsible for security in the gaza striphat palestinians would be responsible for running it. that last bit has been strongly criticised by far right members of benjamin netanyahu's government, who say that palestinian citizens should be encouraged to leave gaza for exile, with the re—establishment ofjewish settlements in the territory. well, as we've been reporting us secretary of state antony blinken is now in tel aviv. he flew in from saudi arabia, where he told arab allies that israel must do more to protect civilians and get aid into gaza. and he insists noboby will be forcibly displaced. have a listen. palestinian civilians must be able to return home as soon as conditions allow. they cannot, they must not, be pressed to leave gaza. we reject the statements by some israeli ministers and lawmakers calling for a resettlement of palestinians outside of gaza. jasmine el gamal, is a political analyst and former middle east adviser at the pentagon. thank you for being with us. how effective do you think american diplomacy is

his visit comes a day after the israeli defence minister yoav gallant outlined proposals for the futureerall security control. hamas — which is designated a terror organisation by a number of western governments — currently runs gaza. but the ruling party in the occupied west bank — fatah its political rival — says palestinians will not accept israel's proposals. there's also been criticism from germany with the foreign minister annalena baerbock, warned against any attempt to occupy gaza. translation: israel must do more to protect the civilian _ population in its actions. 0pposition on the so—called "day after" is very clear. there must be no occupation of the gaza strip. at the same time, there must be no more threats to israel from the gaza strip. this is what we stand for together and what the european union stands for. let's speak to ryan bohl, senior middle east and north africa analyst at rane. hello to you, ryan, thank you for speaking to us here on the context. what do you make of this planet that has been put forward, not officially, by the israeli government, but certainly p

we saw already this week as the defense minister yoav gallant has laid out his plans for the next phasewar which will entail raids and hamas infrastructure in northern gaza, continuing to push further in the south with aims of the war. and all of this in planning, discussions and negotiations, about the fate of gaza after the war ends. israeli leaders have started to turn their attention to that. and certainly, the united states is going to be a critical part of that conversation as well. >> certainly, no consensus on that at this point in time. but, jeremy, israel has said that part of hamas is being dismantled. as this war enters its fourth month, what exactly does that mean? >> reporter: yeah. israeli defense forces spokesman daniel hagari claiming that hamas has been dismantled in northern gaza. this is the latest attempt by the israraeli military, the e israraeli defensnse e establish toto try to o show the k kind o progress t that theyey belieiev they're making, , trying to set the mileststones down,n, milile markers dodown, in o order t to the israraeli public as s well the amame

that's exactly what the defense minister yoav gallant outlined today, saying that the next phase of thistion will focus more on raids on airstrikes, on special operations designed to continue to live eliminate hamas's lingering capabilities in the northern part of the gaza strip, but also in the southern part of the gaza strip, to continue to go after hamas's leadership. but amid this shift, what we're seeing is that hamas still maintains the ability to fire rockets towards southern israel. a barrage of at least 25 rockets hitting the southern town of 90 vote along the israel, gaza border there. most of those rockets intercepted by the iron dome system, but some of them were not, although no injuries were reported. and so, amid that barrage of rockets, using already some criticism from right wing members of prime minister benjamin netanyahu's governing coalition. notably, minister itamar ben-gvir saying that it's an error that will cause life to withdraw troops. but also -- a member of the israeli war cabinet, a member of the opposition who joined the war cabinet and is kind of a center

the court said it had made particular note of the comments from defence minister yoav gallant, and hisment at the outset of the conflict that "there would be no electricity, no food, no fuel. "we are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly." in response today, the defence minister said he would not be lectured on morality while fighting hamas in gaza... here's the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. israel's commitment to international law is unwavering. equally unwavering is our sacred commitment to continue to defend our country and defend our people. like every country, israel has an inherent right to defend itself. the vile attempt to deny israel this fundamental right is blatant discrimination against the jewish state, and it was justly rejected. the charge of genocide levelled against israel is not only false, it's outrageous, and decent people everywhere should reject it. coinciding with that ruling from the un court came news that 12 people employed by un's refugee agency in gaza have had their contracts terminated over their supsected involvemement in the 7th of oct

defense secretary yoav gallant told blinken that while military strategies in the north of gaza haveions in the south and center of the strip will intensify. displaced gazans in khan younis, desperate to escape the fighting, sent a plea to blinken for help. >> my message to the u.s. secretary blinken: get us back home to northern gaza, even if to a tent, it's better than here. william: blinken received promises from middle eastern leaders for help rebuilding gaza, but only if an eventual palestinian state can exist alongside israel, something prime minister netanyahu has said he will not allow. >> israel must be, must stop taking steps that undercut palestinians' ability to govern themselves effectively. extremist settler violence carried out with impunity, settlement expansion, demolition, evictions all make it harder, not easier, for israel to achieve lasting peace and security. william: defending israel to the global community has become an increasingly lonely position for the u.s. today the uk's foreign secretary david cameron said israel might've committed war crimes in gaza. >>

the israeli defence minister yoav gallant told him there was a short window to reach a deal with hezbollahn the region. let's discuss this with nour odeh. she is a palestinian political analyst and former spokesperson for the palestinian authority. welcome to you and thank you for being with us. first of all, as we have been reporting, saleh al—arouri was from the west bank and people have been out there on the streets also commemorating his death with a separate funeral. what is your reaction to his death and what impact it could have on the war in gaza? thank you for having me. the impact of assassinating saleh al—arouri is a very big. first of all, because he was a centralfigure in hamas but he was a centralfigure in hamas but he was also a very respected figure in the palestinian national movement. this is a man who took central stage in an effort to achieve reconciliation between fatah and hamas. he is very well liked in his village, near ramallah. known for being cooperative, known for being helpful and very humble. so blank at condemnation across the political board in palestine con

minister yoav galat has risen over israeli prisoners held by hamas and the issue of the day after the war in gaza. 90 days have passed since the war and the tension between two people netanyahu and gallant, who are managing this war , have reached a climax. while analysts compare the security cabinet to a circus. some parties considered what happened in the security cabinet meeting as a scandal. because there was no unity in the best way and the destruction of the united front. it shows the creation of two ridges during the war. we are still with you in the world today with mr. mohammad saleh sedekian. mr. sedekian, this interpretation of the circus that you mentioned is also very interesting. one of the ministers of the war cabinet himself said that i am very sorry after this when netanyahu means.
