Bienvenidos a... bienvenido a... la broadcasta especial en I-24 News. Soy Caled Ben-Divide. Es el día 72 de la guerra contra el Hamas. Los muertos de dos más soldados de IDF han muerto en la guerra en Gaza, anunciado hoy, con la fatalidad de combate a 122. Esta es la armada y se encuentra el más grande terror del Hamas, yet found. Sin embargo, los primeros truques pasan a la reocupación de Karim Shalom, cruzando los mercados humanitarios en Gaza. La fotografía de Hamas es terrorista y también los civiles que están batiendo sobre los asesinos de la edad. El IDF es un terrasal en el sur de Lebanon que prepara para lanzar misiles antitancos por el lado norte de Israel, hasta que la barra continúa en la barra a la norte de Israel. Y en el Bank West, un reservista de IDF es moderado, después de ser establido en una store conveniente, mientras los palestinos reportan que cuatro fueron asesinados en un ataque de asesino de Israel en un terrasal en la ciudad de Tulkaram. Ahora, en el desperdicio de algunas de estas semanas, de las noticias devastadas de Gaza, más sobre eso un poco, el presidente Netanyahu ha abierto hoy su cabina en la reunión con algunos con un mensaje de reesurrencia sobre la misión de IDF. Me gustaría responder a las familias, el desplazamiento de la falla es lo que nos guía. Nos vamos a combinar al final. Nos vamos a lograr todos nuestros objetivos, eliminando el Hamas, y lanzando todos nuestros asesinos, y asegurando que la Gaza no se vuelve a ser un fóclico de terrorismo, incitement y ataques contra el estado de Israel. Nos vamos a continuar a combinar hasta el final, a nivel de la falla y a asegurar nuestras vidas aquí en el país de Israel. Y, por supuesto, los funerales fueron asesinados esta semana por dos de los tres asesinos israelíos que fueron malvados y asesinados por la IDF de Chubsin, en Gaza, después de el asesino del Hamas, y, por supuesto, el asesino de la investigación de la IDF. Samir Talalka, de la ciudad negra de Hurra, fue internado en una ceremonia de bedo, y solo el asesino de Kibbutz-Kfar-Azo fue asesinado en el Semitario de Shafayim. Aquí es lo que su madre, Dikla, tenía que decir ahí. ¡No le manzé, linchando! No es lo que pensamos. Nos cambiamos el mundo para vosotros. Mi hija, eres fuerte, determina, es inteligente, eres un heroe, has vivido 70 días en el mundo. Sé que nos sentimos todo el tiempo, el modo en el que nos sentimos. Otro momento, y estás en mis manos, continuaremos a vivir para vosotros, continuaremos a respirar para vosotros, continuaremos a ser para vosotros. Nos hemos perdido mucho, la tristeza no ha terminado. ¡Suscríbete! Nos encontramos en el estudio de esta hora, Robert Swift, de la IDF correspondiente, que está cubriendo la guerra, en el norte y el sur, y Asaf Zamiyari, de la Comunidad General de Israel en Nueva York, formó un miembro de parlamento, formó un ministro también. Asaf, déjame comenzar con vosotros, porque, por supuesto, en esta campaña contra Hamas y contra otros actores también, se van a ser setbacks. Pero esto fue un weekend muy despiritoso, que tendría que decir, este incidente en Gaza, en particular, junto a las casultades continuas. ¿Qué debería ser el mensaje del gobierno en el descanso de este tipo de incidentes, en términos de, creo, el moral general de la nación y de la confianza en la campaña en Gaza? Creo que las personas en Israel tienen un extremo de confianza en la IDF y un extremo de apoyo de la IDF. Y no una persona en Israel piensa en algo como eso, una tragedia, a lo menos, que sucedió por su propósito. Es el precio que estamos pagando para una guerra que no hemos elegido. No tenemos otra opción, pero para hacerlo, creo que es una de las más difíciles que ha habido en términos de guerra dentro de urbanas áreas y ciudades. Es una tragedia horrible, y si era a nosotros, los pasajeros no deberían haber estado en el primer lugar. No deberían haber estado en el primer lugar. Entonces, si tuvimos otra opción, pero para hacer todo lo que pudimos, para continuar eliminando Hamas y las personas responsables de eso, no hace ni un error, las personas responsables para esos tres pasajeros son Hamas. Y creo que ese mensaje no se resunirá a cualquier israel. Bueno, yo mencioné las futuras fatalidades de combate en el Gaza Strip, pero, por supuesto, también había una futura fatalidad, aparentemente, en el norte de Israel, sobre la semana de la fecha de Hamas. Vamos a Zach Anders, el corresponde, perdón, de la fecha de la bala, o de la fecha de la terra, en el norte de Israel, un número de las futuras fatalidades en ese teatro, y Zach, más información que viene sobre ese incidente en el norte de Israel. La identidad de un hombre de 53 años que fue matado ayer en el Gaza Strip fue lanzada junto con su imagen, un 53-year-old Ezekiel Azaria, y ver esa imagen para mí fue maravilloso, porque él me aprobó hace un mes o dos cuando fuimos haciendo imágenes en frente de una estación de gas y me puse un poco por donde mi cariño de playa, mi tránsito de flaco se sentía en mi cuerpo y dijo que no tenía las dos manos properas debajo de tu bonita clavical para poder proteger tu corazón. Y él fue a trabajar inmediatamente, comenzando a ajustar las plazas cerámicas, las plazas volantes en mi tránsito, y lo ajustó, me ayudó, y luego dijo que hay que estar seguros aquí porque están arreglando a todos, están arreglando a los jornalistas, también, y nos compartimos algunas plazas cerámicas y entonces, nos bothamos con un buen suelo y nos quedamos seguros. Y así veré la noticia de su pasión cuando él fue matado por lo que probablemente era un iraniano asimilado, asimilado por Hezbollah atendiendo esa posición y asimilando a otros es una cosa difícil de ver. Ezekiel, eso es realmente, yo creo que lo que la historia es una coincidencia increíble pero el escenario es solo la preocupación sobre, ya sabes, tenemos una disconcepción que todo el mundo ha sido aclarado excepto actos soldados de esa zona bordera y de nuevo y de nuevo vemos que esto no es el caso, todo el mundo está en riesgo, está en riesgo ahí, incluyendo correspondencias, tengo que decir. Y, solo, solo, yo creo que tal vez no nos damos suficiente atención a esa batalla en el norte, porque estamos tan interesados en lo que está sucediendo en Gaza. Yo lo acuerdo, esto es un conflicto desplazado de lo que está ocurriendo aquí en la bordera del norte, los exchanges constantes, los noises constantes, los bloques de edición que puedes escuchar en la valla, aquí en la gala superior, es la artillería que trabaja en todo el día, los viajes sobre la cabeza y luego escuchas la rueda de un drone y, de repente, tu cabeza se torna en la dirección de donde piensas que puedes escuchar la rueda, puedes nunca verla en el cielo y tienes que preguntar, ¿es un drone israelí o es este el drone iraniano que está bien equipado con explosivos y muy peligrosos? Y la gran pregunta también, los sistemas de defensa que están situados aquí en el norte, hay muchas eventualidades o posibilidades para qué una gran escala área de ataque parecen y incluso algunos asesamentos por los Estados Unidos y por los israelíes también, no son confidantes que todos los proyectiles lanzados en una puerta corta podrían ser interceptados sucesivamente. Eso es el peligro aquí. Y realmente, todo el mundo está en edad pensando que, en cualquier momento, esto podría arruinar en algo más grande. Y luego, tienes dos grandes, grandes fuerzas que están bothas pintando las barras de sus armas a cada uno, situados en esta borda, 80,000 más con Hezbollah, un gran contingente, militares y militares de los soldados de IDF, situados aquí. Si esto es para escalar, esto va a capturar la atención del mundo de 10 fieles. Allá, el final es. Gracias por eso. Y, de nuevo, qué tragedia. Qué coincidencia terrible, yo diría. No sé si en todos los casos es que un reservista de 53 años fue. Hay más que un par de reservistas. Israel es el único país en el mundo donde el nivel o el porcentaje de apariencia para reservistas es más que precioso. Es el único país en el mundo donde en ningún otro país, cuando hay una guerra, cuando una guerra se rompe, no puedes encontrar un ticket planeado fuera del país. En Israel, cuando la guerra se rompe, no puedes encontrar un ticket planeado en el país, porque 160,000 israelíos empiezan a tomar parte de la guerra. Yo te digo que él fue un voluntario. Porque él fue, porque el mandatorio fue, yo creo, 40 o 42. Depende de lo que hiciste. Sí. Pero él fue un voluntario. El soldado. Él fue un voluntario. Y él es otro de los personas que le dieron vidas a esta realidad forzada para asegurar que podamos vivir aquí. Y el grado en el norte está esperando para la interferencia del mundo, porque ni siquiera les atrapan a la resolución UN de 1701. Right. O, como el ministro de Defensa tiene que haberlo. Tiene que haberlo. Yo era en Chania, en Shlomi. Ellos son amplios. Parece una escena de platoons. No hay nadie ahí. No hay solo soldados. Como te dije, los soldados son reservistas. No hay nadie que volver a vivir ahí hasta el Gizbala estará detrás. Y eso es la segunda parte de lo que esta guerra tendrá que ser. Right. Robert, te has estado haciendo mucho reportaje del norte. Yo también, anecdotamente, desde los soldados. Se siente bastante vulnerable de que ellos, básicamente, toquen. Es lo que lo haces. Nosotros sabemos que nos han tocado esfuerzos. Responiendo, en realidad, el fin de la semana en realidad, mirando a un Gizbala terasal que estaba preparando para lanzar el anti-tank, anti-tank misel. Así que, no solo respondiendo, intentando ser prehantado, pero, pero, los soldados sienten ese riesgo ahí en el norte. Sí, actividad de eso muestra casi todos los días. Ahí, con respecto a la número de personas que lo veis, generalmente, de 80% a 90% de las personas son soldados. ¿Crees que más han evacuado a los ciudadanos? Sí, hay todavía una mano de los ciudadanos. Si vas a un café o un café, hay algunos de ellos, pero eso es lo que pasa. Y las únicas de los ciudadanos que tendrán a ver son los familiares que vienen a visitar a los soldados de la reserva o los farmacéuticos que han podido mover sus crocs en el norte, pero que, al menos, han venido de tiempo a tiempo. Y las personas que tienen trabajos como eso, a lo largo de la noche, se colocan en peligro cuando van ahí, pero se sienten que no tienen la posibilidad de hacer eso, porque hay una actividad central que todavía tiene que llevarse a lugar. Yo, por supuesto, este señor de 53 años, quizás sea un regreso de la memoria, que sirvió sobre y debajo de la caja de la fecha. Voy a tener más información sobre él, me presumiré más tarde, en la noche. Hemos mencionado ahora la muerte de, por favor, los tres asesinos de asesinos, los asesinos israelíos, este mes. Y el asesino de la muerte y de la captividad, deberíamos notar de Imbar Khayim, esta joven joven. Eso aumentó el sentido de la urgencia entre las familias de los 129 permanentes confirmados en las asesinas en Gaza. Ahora, algunos se han colocado en tiempo, el asesino de asesinos, el headquarter de IDF en Tel Aviv, la curia, demandando que el gobierno prioritaría la releza de los asesinos. Por lo largo de la noche, fue Oriaz Ben-Ami, que fue realizado el mes pasado, después de 54 días de captividad, esto es lo que tiene que decirlo. 10 días atrás, metí con el cabinet. Llegó al cabinet, y todos sabíamos que la pelea probablemente haría los asesinos. Sin embargo, era correcto. Me sobreviví. Si el acuerdo para relezar los asesinos se hubiera terminado por una semana, no podría estar aquí. Los asesinos están experimentando la piel, y están en la pérdida mortal. Cada día, cada casa es crítica. Israel debe ofrecer otro asesino de releza de asesino y llevarle a la comunidad internacional para detenerlo. Me ha dicho que se refiere a Oriaz Ben-Ami. Ahora, más de dos meses, como vemos, el asesino de los asesinos es más urgente por el día, y tiene preocupaciones sobre el tratamiento, sobreviviendo en las manos de Hamas, esto es especialmente así, también cuando viene a los que sufren de las almas que necesitan una medicación específica. Mientras ellos, es el 20-year-old Omer Wenkurt, quien fue capturado por Hamas en la Festival de Innova en octubre 7. Aparece que sufre de la colitis crónica, que es un diagnóstico de la colonia. Se podría ser muy serio si no lo trató o medicó. Bueno, ahora vamos a su padre, Shai Wenkurt. Se joins de la ciudad de Gdera, aquí en Israel. Gracias por ayudarnos, Shai. Primero, nos damos cuenta de tu hijo, y también de lo que conoces, sobre lo que ha sucedido o puede haber sucedido en octubre 7. Gracias. Como mencioné, mi hijo tiene la colitis crónica, esto es el estómago de la crónica, en una situación de estrés. Se hace muy severo. Es muy doloroso. Es muy doloroso, y tiene la falta de homoglobina, y también tiene la injeción de IV iron, y estoy muy preocupado por mi hijo. Estoy muy preocupado por esta situación. La colitis crónica no está haciendo suficiente para los hostes. Metí el presidente de la ICIC, y ella me dijo que están intentando hacer todo lo que pueden, pero si ellos fueron en Gaza 10 días atrás, y fueron en el hospital de la palestiniana, para ver la situación de ahí, y ella no lo condicionó, por alguna información sobre los hostes, o para darles a una medicina. Así que ella está haciendo solo una parte de trabajo, solo para los palestinianos, porque no importa lo que piensan sobre nuestros hostes, es horrible pensar sobre eso. Y estamos muy preocupados por la situación. Es más de la noche, porque no es terminada. La noche es terminada por la noche, pero estamos en 72 días en esta situación, y estamos muy, muy preocupados. ¿Tienes alguna, en ese día, en el 7 de octubre, aquí, de alguien que está asistido, o alguna información de todo, ¿tienes alguna información de todo sobre Omar, al menos incluso hasta ese punto, cuando él apareció en el gaso de Hamas? No, no tenemos información. La única cosa que tengo es mi sentimiento de que él es vivo, pero no puedo imaginar su situación o de donde él está. Es horrible. No sabemos nada. Ahora, hablaste sobre el Red Cross, y, sí, se puede decir, y se han sido criticados por no ser, al menos, más públicamente vocales y activos en esta situación. Quiero hablar de lo que tus expectaciones son, tanto para la comunidad internacional, sino para otros jugadores. Y también para las autoridades aquí en Israel. Hay mucha discusión sobre eso ahora, y sobre prioridades, que es un tema difícil, por supuesto, de hacer con él. Lo que estoy esperando de la comunidad nacional es hacer un buen presión sobre los países de negociación que están involucrados, que pueden apoyarnos, hacer un buen negocio con el Hamas. Quizá es Qatar, quizá es Egipto, quizá otros países que pueden hacer la negociación, y que están hablando con ellos, y que necesitan hacer un presión, un buen presión sobre ellos, que tenemos que encontrar una solución para esta situación, para lanzar todos los hostegers. El gobierno está intentando lo mejor que pueda, y la idea está haciendo un buen trabajo en Gaza, y tenemos que esperar con ellos. El gobierno está intentando hacer una negociación, pero parece que el Hamas no está hablando con nosotros solo con la tercera partida. Es muy difícil. Es combinado con todo el gobierno y la comunidad nacional. Es para hacer un buen trabajo, y hay que hacerlo ahora. No hay tiempo, no hay tiempo. No se está viviendo ahí. He escuchado algunos hostegers que fueron lanzados, y decían que están en una situación de mal. Los dos mujeres están aún en una situación de mal, están en el hospital, no han obtenido ningún tratamiento, hay medicamentos que necesitan, y tienen una situación de mal, muy severa. No tienen agua, no tienen comida. Ellos están convirtiendo. Bueno, vamos a estar aquí. Ha sido 73 días. El Red Cross no ha obtenido el proof de la vida. No han conocido ningún hostegero, no han llevado ninguna medicina, no han hecho nada para los hostegers israelíos, y para los israelíos en Gaza. Cuando confrontan y conversan con ellos, siempre dicen que son neutrales, que son absentos cuando vienen a los juzgos. Y el sentimiento en Israel, cuando se ve en el mundo, es que el mundo lo cuesta muy mucho sobre los palestinos inestantes, pero no cuesta nada, sobre los juzgos inestantes, y queremos ver a las personas presionando el Red Cross, queremos ver a las personas presionando el Hamas, queremos ver a las personas llenando el Cisfire, contra el Hamas. Todavía tenemos más de 100 hostegers en Gaza, y nadie nos ayudará a hacerlos. Right. Robert, por supuesto, la discusión es extremadamente difícil ahora. La urgencia entre algunas de los hostegers, las familias, preguntando si el comienzo de los gobiernos a los dos los dos es un tránsito muy importante, los dos son los que nadie nega los dos, los dos son los que defienden el Hamas militar y rescuen los hostegers o los ultimos, pero en términos de prioritizar. Y hay algunas de los hostegers que estamos hablando y que hemos escuchado, quienes dicen que rescuen los hostegers tiene que ser prioritizados. Debemos notar los reportes, y tengo que tener algunos reportes, que el comienzo del Mossad continuará con negociaciones, principalmente por los officials de Qatari. Eso va a ser llevado a Europa. Algunos de los hostegers, las familias dicen que el gobierno debería hacer más en este caso, y en un sentido, prioritizar. El resto, el problema es que los hostegers sobre el, al menos, el precio de la misión para eliminar el Hamas. Sí, parece que el gobierno de Israel es, después de los eventos de la semana, que viene bajo el presión de la familia de los hostegers. Como dices, parece que es una pregunta de prioridad. Hay estos dos objetivos, que son el gobierno de Israel, que son el militar de Israel, pero la pregunta es, ¿cuál es el primero? Si hay algunos detalles desde el incidente de la fila, que parece que es posible que el objetivo de la misión de la misión de la misión fue posiblemente adamerso, porque había una visión que störco de los los hostegers en el SOS. Seults que esto ha sido reportado y que esto no es solo si los troop ha sido metidos por ese asunto, la presión en el gobierno israelí, al mismo tiempo, el gobierno israelí ha dicho, que se siente que el presión militar es uno de los medios de obtener las hostegas, que si se sientan en negociación con el Hamas, no habrá nada, y que los atacos contra el Hamas son necesarios para obtener las hostegas. Asaf, ¿es este tipo de discusión? También bien, el gobierno dice en una mano, la presión militar es lo que forzó el Hamas en el primer lugar para la presión inicial del año pasado. Y simplemente no puede priorizar una o la otra, las dos van a mano a mano, pero ¿los hacen en todos los tiempos? ¿Es eso incluso una discusión fair en este sentido? ¿Sabes qué? No importa si es una discusión fair o no, no hay otra manera de hacerla. Tenemos que tener esa discusión. Yo estaba en la presión... Y se está tomando lugar en el público de la presión israelí. Yo estaba en la presión... en el cuadro de la noche. No sé si las familias de las personas que están en Gaza no hacerían nada diferente que si mis amigas fueron en Gaza. Y yo personalmente, los miembros de la presión están fracassando en la presión y haciendo todo lo que pueden. Es una situación imposible. Right. Pero, ¿saben que el gobierno... ¿pueden hacer la calculación? En ciertas escuelas para priorizar una o la otra? ¿O es que eso es una equidad imposible? Mira, el primer diálogo de la presión prioritaría los diálogos. Right. Eso es por eso que fue terminado. Right. Y hay una acción de acción que fue generada. Eso es por eso que fue terminada porque de los diálogos. Right. Y estoy seguro que están trabajando y haciendo todo lo que pueden para generar otro diálogo como eso. Y estoy seguro que si hay otro diálogo como eso en la mesa, están tomando, no estoy en la casa, ni siquiera. No tenemos idea, tenemos que poner la confianza. Es un gobierno de la unidad. Es un gobierno de la emergencia. Es running this war. It's an impossible war. And I wouldn't want to put myself instead of them. I'm sure they're doing everything to try and balance that out. It's an impossible equation. Right. Robert, an impossible equation, but ultimately some kind of decision has to be made. Any other kind of deal is going to involve another ceasefire at a critical point in the battle against Hamas. Yeah. I mean, there's pressure coming from different angles as well as this internal debate within Israeli society and with the hostages family. There's obviously pressure from outside as well. So it's likely that this is going to come down to some sort of ceasefire at some point, as has been the case in previous rounds. But unlike in previous rounds, we're talking in a post-7th of October context. For Hamas, if they will claim that any form of long term ceasefire will be a victory for them. So Israel has that additional complication. They have set out from the objective of this war to destroy Hamas. So arriving at a ceasefire will be seen by many people as a defeat for Israel. And that's something that the Israeli government doesn't want to give. Or a setback. I don't know about a defeat. No. Well, we're going out for a break. You could pick up the point afterwards. This officer, Mia Roberts, will stay with us. We will be right back just in a few minutes with more special coverage on I24 News. Israel is in a situation where Israel is in a state of war. Families completely done down in their beds. We have no idea where is she. As our soldiers are fighting on the front line. But the general perception is something that certainly needs to to be fought as well. Welcome back to this special broadcast on I24 News. Israel's war against Hamas, day 72. Stay with us. Studio Israel's former consul general in New York, Kasaf Sameer. Also former member of parliament Robert Swift. Robert, we do have an update, some breaking news apparently coming out of Syria this evening. That's right. There's reports coming from Syrian media that there's been strikes in the capital, Damascus. They are attributing these strikes to Israel. We've had no word from the Israeli military as is usually the case. At the minute there's scant details with regards to this. There has been in the past throughout the war there has been some strikes in Syria that have been usually these have either been direct Israeli response to artillery fire from Syria or they've been attacks on airports. The airstrips presumably attribute to weapons movements in the area. At the minute it's not clear. Right. Using Damascus airport for example the National Airport is a conduit for weapons to Hisbala and also Rand Link groups, militia groups on the Golan Heights we'll go to that. But let's go back now to the morning of October 7th. More and more stories, amazing stories coming out from what happened that day. One of them involving Yareev Hajabi. He's a farmer living in the so-called Gaza, Envelope Gaza border area who woke up to the realization that his entire family from nearby Moshev Yakhine was under Hamas's Hamas attack. Now Yareev did not think twice armed with a weapon and accompanied by three friends. He went to Yakhine where he found himself caught in a crossfire between the IDF and Hamas. And this report adapted from Channel 12 News. We accompanied Yareev to the place where he risked his life to save his family the same place where he also lost part of it. Shabbat Shevila, Siree, Babokkar Mitorel, Kulam, Arash, Abumim. ¡Alaa! ¡Alaa! ¡Alaa! ¡Alaa! ¡Alaa! y nos quedó hasta aquí. Llegamos de ahí, y nos llevamos a las puertas, hasta las soledades aquí a Mata. Y por las soledades, y en la parte de Nistar, nosotros empezamos a caminar. Llegamos tres, o cuatro caminos aquí. Empecé a verlo, a ver si podíamos hacerlos con nosotros y a ver si podíamos llevarlos de las familias. Esa es la mayoría de nosotros. Entendemos que... a quién se ve a nosotros. En el Salón de la Mata, en realidad, un poco de fuerza salió aquí y, en realidad, lo echó a los caminos. Nosotros hemos visto y, en realidad, a ver si empezaron a vernos. Y entonces también, empezaron a ver un poco de fuerza de agarrarnos desde el Zafón de Miserach. Y entonces, entendemos que la situación fue muy, muy, muy, porque es que eso de hecho hubo más deshonerías de nosotros. Y entonces, decían que quedamosまだ. Y, entonces, acabó el coche y la contra qué no Doo. El coche se empezó a adaptarse y nosotros, en realidad, empezamos a deshacer las posibilizaciones y la deshacería. Y en realidad, lo colocamos en la zona. Todo este es un exatocino que era mi opción, y ha sido tu deshacona. Y todo eso fue un deshacono que fue un ruido sobre la tercera. A mí me gustó mucho este tipo de tarmelas y todo lo que he hecho aquí. En el día de hoy, he encontrado una gran variedad de tarmelas. He visto que es una gran variedad. He colocado una de las dos maneras que estuvieron aquí. Llegamos la peregrina de la peregrina de la peregrina de la peregrina de la peregrina de la peregrina de la peregrina. En la misma situación, mi mamá, es decir, todo se rompió y se rompió cuando se vio que hay chavales aquí. Se sucede que llegue a su unidad de dios para que se desnuele a ellos, pero a ver más tiempo. Tenemos un montón de viviendas para formar esta actividad. Y nada más, no empieza, en realidad. Hay una guerra, mi amigo, porque el mundo está malo. Y esto es todo lo que pasa. Es que todo el día se despliega. Si se despliega y se va a pasar a otro día. Es lo que es lo más importante. Porque la verdad es verdad. Pero no es lo que es lo más importante. Y recuerda que siempre tenemos que recordar y el heroismo de lo que sucedió en octubre, el 7 de octubre. Y Israel presta su campaña contra Gaza. También tiene que contener con la presión diplomática de diferentes partes, incluyendo desde el U.S., que ha sido un aliado bastante extranjero por este campaño. Pero el U.S. ha estado prestando en Israel para reducir el peso de las muertes civiles en Gaza, que probablemente estará en la mesa cuando el secretario U.S. de la Defensa, Lloyd Austin, llegará en Israel después de esta semana. Aquí es lo que el U.S. Presidente Joe Biden tenía que decir sobre el tema de esta semana. ¿Quieres que Israel se salga en el salto en Gaza? Y por el fin del año, ¿quieres que se despliega? ¿Puedes mover a una fase de intensidad? Quiero que ellos sean interesados en cómo salvar las vidas civiles, no dejar de ir después de las maestras, pero tener cuidado. Asaf, hemos hablado de la guía diplomática. Creo que si pudieras conducir una guía antes de esta guerra, ¿cuánto apoyo tendríamos desde la administración de Biden, en caso de una guerra como esta, tendrías un número mucho más bajo que lo que hemos hecho. Honestamente, ha sido un apoyo de Joe Biden, de Tony Blinken, de Jake Sullivan, de la Departamento de Estado, y hay un despliegue desde el lado progreso de la partida, desde la generación más joven. Creo que, cuando escuchas a él decir estas cosas, estas son las cosas que tiene que decir que el taxista tiene que pagar para continuar apoyando a Israel. Y, por lo tanto, todos queremos, como un despliegue inocente, que es posible en ambos lados. La IDF está en un camino para asegurar que tiene un mínimo. No targeta civilizaciones, ni siquiera se usan las vidas humanas y no hay otra opción. Y, incluso después, las mapas con zonas mueven a donde vienes, como John Kirby ha dicho, lo llamamos antes de apuntar, y le damos a ustedes donde las apuntas son. Creo que todo y todo, el apoyo ha sido increíble desde los Estados Unidos, y podemos continuar apuntando a ellos. They understand that if we don't eliminate Hamas, it's going to show up in America. It's going to show up in Europe. It's just the beginning from Israel. There is, I think, a consensus, at least on the strategic goals the U.S. and the Biden administration will continue to support us on the destruction of Hamas as a strategic, but tactically, Robert, is there going to be a shift? We heard that reporter say something that we even heard security analysts here in the studio say that potentially, with the new year coming, Israel will continue to pursue its goals in Gaza, in a more intensity campaign. Maybe less of the airstrikes, more gradualistic approaches on the ground as they move into Southern Gaza. Yeah, it's definitely a difference over tactics rather than strategy. I think what the United States would like to see Israel doing is pulling back from some of its from the use of some of its more intense firepower. They want to see them switching to raids in the U.S. Asegment of how things should go. You're looking at more of a special forces-led operation without the full use of infantry and armor and with... An artillery for Surah. Indeed. But the honest truth is it's not clear how realistic that is. Hamas have not been able to keep the IDF out of Gaza because of the intensity of the attack that the IDF has launched against them. If the Israelis were to take a more reduced approach, yeah, they would kill less civilians, but then that would also increase the risk for the Israeli military and that is likely why the IDF have chosen to take the approach that they have done. This is the safest the safest we can do it. I have a brother-in-law, he's a 43-year-old reservist. He's in Gaza in Canunas right now, even though he's a real estate developer and he's not supposed to be there and if Israel wanted, it could continue with its airstrikes, not bring in any of the reserves. As a lot of people say, this work could have been over in two days and we're in there with tens of thousands of soldiers, reservists that are civilians in Israel in order to minimize the number of civilian casualties. But there's no modern military in the world that has ever done more and that would do what we're doing in this situation to minimize civilian casualties. We tell them before we come, we send out maps saying go to safe zones we let them know when we're going to strike. But just today, the IDF found a tunnel. Right, we've been reporting on that, of course, earlier. Ok, so it's crazy. It's not something we can stop right now and say it'll be ok it won't be ok if we stop. But clearly these are things that the US is aware of and the US is telegraphing the fact that it wants to see more there's reporting in just last week that was from US sources saying that the US military assessment is that 40% to 45% of the munitions that Israel's dropping from the air are not smart, they're not guided they're dumb bombs. The US wouldn't be briefing the press on information like this if they thought Israel was doing enough and so they are trying to alter the test in the White House this week, right? Junior staffers stood outside not everyone agrees, not everyone supports Israel. In comparison to who we thought there are much more still supporting so there are people briefing and people leaking and people saying at the end of the day what we're getting from America is a lot of support and what they're saying here and there I think they could have said much worse things they could have been much more limiting and maybe we wouldn't have listened this is a do or die war Right, well you know we actually there were polling done over the weekend that speaks to these very issues we're talking about. I think we can go hopefully we have the graphic up in there now the headline out of this, the main headline is in this question this is a Harris Harvard poll from a representative group across the United States in this conflict do you support more Israel or more Hamas? Well I mean the main number here 81% Israel 19% Hamas, so that support is there across the US backing in terms of what you were saying but I think a lot of people are focusing on one specific number there it's in the first though it's a breakdown by age and if you look at the breakdown by age you see numbers like people from 45 to 55 85% support Israel 15% Hamas 55% to 65% 90% Israel 10% Hamas but if you look at 18 to 24 people who are going to university the first number there it's divided, 50% Israel 50% Hamas first of all it sounds shocking but given to what we're seeing on university campuses maybe it shouldn't be surprising but how alarming or concerning is that number you served in the council general in New York it's not surprising it's not a surprising number it's a horrific number by the way, the 19% of the general poll is also a horrific number one out of every five Americans think Hamas is the right side of this conflict that's like one out of every five Americans thinking bin Laden and Al Qaeda were the right side of 9-11 it's crazy and we've been through it it is a generation it doesn't watch this TV show by the way it doesn't watch any TV show it gets its news from tiktok it's a closed ecosystem of five second conversations yes or no, good or bad and the trends generate an algorithm in which they only hear one side and they're stupid, they're stupid it's the same group of people that two weeks ago discovered the letter to America and started sympathizing with Osama bin Laden they don't know which river they don't know which sea they don't know anything and it's the future of America it's very alarming and by the way admissions to Harvard next year dropped 17% for seniors this week it's the lowest number in the last four years of people that want to get their education on Harvard and that happens with the context and the context is that they're stupid but it can't just be left at that the fact is it's called upon both the government of Israel American Jewish organizations and those who are concerned about that number to educate the public and the question is are they not doing their job what they should be doing certainly this was part of your job that you wanted to deal with when you were the consul general in New York Ok, on October 7 just like Israel was divided and united around this war the American Jewish society a community was very divided it was politically divided and it was reunited by this war and rising anti-Semitism in the United States there's a younger generation of Jews in America that have nothing to do with Israel that do not have a developed Jewish identity anti-Semitism is the first opportunity for their family to speak with them about what it means to be a Jew to speak with them about why Jews need Israel it is the situation was bad to begin with and this is an opportunity to try and twist it the other way because anti-Semitism isn't going anywhere it is the oldest hate form in the world and it's being pumped by 2.3 billion Muslims in countries that have tactics and strategies and are willing to go the length to do it for years in order to build groups inside universities and chant things that they don't understand what mean and it's very hard to stand up in front of that if you don't have a developed Jewish identity if you don't understand the history of Israel if you can't defend what we've done amongst the years and that's the point we're at right now and it needs to change not just in Israel but in the United States as well in order for us to have a long going future here Right, and Robert you come from Europe from the UK and I have to say these numbers may we don't have the polling those numbers may even be worse in places like either the UK or Europe just based anecdotally on some of the demonstrations that we've seen in those cities like Berlin, Paris Madrid, elsewhere I suspect it would be generally speaking the United States is more sympathetic to Israel's position than many other countries in Europe so yeah if you were to do similar polling I imagine they would be less favourable to Israel of course the youth vote is the next generation's vote so if this is the direction that the US society is going in the European society is even more going in that direction then Israel has some long term diplomatic issues that it needs to address I'm sure there are plenty of people looking at this but it is a long term strategic issue for Israel that goes beyond just this war it's a strategic issue for the world the 17% drop in admissions in Harvard that's not from just criticism that's Jews they don't feel safe on campus which they have said they don't feel safe they don't feel safe they don't feel safe and it says stop genocide in Gaza and up until a few years ago these Jews went to Harvard and when they were told you're occupying Gaza didn't have the tools to answer we disengaged from Gaza in 2005 and all the Palestinians have done there is create a terror infrastructure you know what you say I agree with you coalitions were built on campus saying we are the bad side to a point where people justified October 7th in America so 80% or 70% of Palestinians justify October 7th the massacre, the rape, the beheading but there are young people in the United States to justify that without understanding history without understanding the motivations and they'll understand them when they reach America and they'll understand them when they'll feel them in their back yard but by then it'll be too late let's hope that lesson is learned well beyond that Asaf Samir, Robert Swift thank you for joining us on the studio this evening now we did mention the International Red Cross earlier that organization founded with the purpose of ensuring humanitarian protection and assistance for victims of war and other situations of violence en Israel the International Red Cross is failing that mission when it comes to the hostages held by Gaza with the Red Cross being quite vocal publicly about the humanitarian situation of Palestinians in Gaza but when it comes to the hostages there not so much now that has drawn the eye of those Israelis with family members held captive in Gaza we have more on that in this report adapted from channel 12 news many emotions on display at the demonstration in front of the jaffa home of Alessandra Menagon the Red Cross representative in Israel these voices are from all over Israel and testify to the broad feelings among the public Israelis simply do not like the Red Cross let her move from jaffa go leaving Gaza I don't think she should be here I don't think she should be sharing the same oxygen with me right now so these are some of our offices for our operations we have cooperation some economic security this week we received permission to visit the offices of the International Red Cross in East Jerusalem a body that acts discreetly its officials say this is the most successful way to deliver humanitarian aid to war victims around the world we do also have more teams operating in Gaza and in the West Bank area but the fact is for over 70 days the organization has not met any of the scores of hundreds of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza they have not provided any humanitarian aid or medicine the Red Cross says its not that it doesn't want to its that it can't people sometimes have the idea that the Red Cross is an organization that can achieve anything in conflict, that we can swoop in anywhere, we can access anywhere and while we work so that we can do this we always need the agreement of parties in conflict one of the fundamental principles of the Red Cross is the fact that it is neutral it must not take sides in any conflict in order to be acceptable to both parties our neutrality means that sometimes publicly we don't say things so that behind the closed doors in the direct discussions with the people involved, with the parties involved with Hamas we can say what needs to be said and know that we can have that dialogue and engage with them but when Red Cross president Miryana Spoliarec visited Gaza two weeks ago, she released a video that outraged many I have just visited the European Gaza hospital and the things I saw there is beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to describe it took her a minute and a half to mention the Israeli abductees and then it appeared only casually we have to protect the rights of the hostages when she arrived in Israel for a short visit she met the members of the families of the abductees they had harsh words for her in recordings obtained by Yulan Cohen the tone of the meeting is clear a word probably condemning what happened to herself we did, I did yes this baby and this child didn't come back no, wait, wait let me finish please I left the meeting shaken I don't know how you can sit so coldly in front of people who tell you that their loved ones are in such a difficult situation and your answer is so correct and so measured my son has a colitis disease and it's his medicine I don't want my son that will come back in a black plastic bag you've been at Gaza last week at the Palestinian hospitals if they afford you to go inside Gaza you need to ask or maybe to condition it by making some for our kids or we love that are injured and they are sick the members of the families also brought up Spaliarich's message from Gaza as I saw it I thought the ICRC is going only on one side so I'm asking you if the Hamas don't give you any operation to go to the hospital or to give us a sign of life they'll go inside Gaza Israel and the abductees families expect the Red Cross to take a clear position against Hamas the organization claims it cannot do this public pressure it's not going to work because the more public pressure we seemingly would do the more they would try to do I'm not sure a condemnation by the Red Cross which has such a large platform and so many international connections can change the narrative in the entire world as soon as it condemns Hamas and that will change the story here as well for the abductees About three weeks ago Israel held its breath when some released abductees made their way from Gaza to the Egyptian Rafa crossing in Red Cross Jeeps that sparked the criticism that this is what the organization's activity is all about a shuttle service an Uber that ends this broadcast this special broadcast and I 24 news do stay with us with more and continuing coverage Ali Aachenberg will be coming into the Yankees chair as day 72 of Israel's war against Hamas comes to a close thank you for joining us good evening ladies and gentlemen Israel is in a state of war families completely gun down in their beds we have no idea where is she as our soldiers are fighting on the front line but the general perception is something that certainly needs to be done in a state of war families completely gun down in their beds we have no idea where is she as our soldiers are fighting general perception is something that needs to be fought as well esta semana news 24 Israel bajo ataque news 24 en español trae el análisis y la información de los acontecimientos de la guerra espadas de hierro entrevistas exclusivas reportes desde la zona de guerra la reacción de los países hispanoparlantes news 24 el único medio en español que te mantiene informado y conectado con la comunidad latina en Israel 24 únicamente en el 24 news yo hablando con ustedes de no decir si los soldados son bien o no para que se nos en el futuro see dos personas que no te threaten no son con armas son con sus manos son con sus manos quiero decir algo menos importante y si es dos guardiares con una flaga quien quiere ser surrender solo lo asustamos? absolutamente no No, esto no es el IDF. Escúchame, te digo. Si alguien te ha confiado, si alguien te ha pensado con nosotros, y ahora lo colocó en su arma, y lo agarró con sus manos, lo capturamos. No lo agarramos. Haciendo ahora vivo a la borda de la israel, la corrupción de I-24, Pia Sekelbach, con la team de I-24, ahí en la tierra. Pia, en el principio de otra semana de la pelea, está quedando claro, hay un largo camino y un gran empate, entre ganar control sobre los poderes terrestres y aclararlos completamente. Es correcto, Elian Fadding continúa en diferentes áreas de la costa de Gaza, en el sur, hay Qanunas en el centro, Shajaira y la ciudad de Gaza, pero también en el norte, en el norte, las operaciones militaresis están enfocadas en destruir las infraestructuras que permanecen en Hamas y otros militares palestinos. El descubrimio también es la destrucción de los sistemas de tonelón y de armas, depós, de munición, depós, pero continuamente, Hamas también está lanzando rocas a Israel, en ciudades y comunidades. Hoy, hay tres veces Red Alert, Sirens encendiendo en diferentes comunidades alrededor de la bordera y también, fue el último baraje encendiendo el área del norte de la ciudad de Ashkelon y podíamos ver esos rocas que fueron tres horas atrás, fueron lanzadas desde el norte del Gaza, desde el área de Bet Hanun o Bet Lahye y es donde el armario israelí claims de tener control operacional sobre. Pero aunque control operacional Hamas continúa arreglando rocas específicamente desde ese área y eso te muestra cómo es difícil ganar control sobre estas áreas también 72 días en este baraje y Hamas continuamente también está lanzando la capacidad de poder even en el sábado, hemos visto esos rockets en el jerúslam, pero el piso es por supuesto más que 70 días en este lugar, jamás tiene que mostrar un piso y tiene que mantener algunos de sus stalks para continuar esta guerra, como nadie realmente sabe cuando va a terminar. A la otra mano, hemos visto hoy que otra cruz fue abierta para la entrada de la humanitaria y la cruz de Kerem Shalom. Esto ha sido uno de los principales demandas de los americanos, el U.S. ha estado abierta en este lugar, y Kerem Shalom ha estado abierta, incluso antes de inspeccionar esos buenos, esos buenos, los buenos de la humanitaria, pero ahora es el primer día que un número de cruzes también han entrado, pero las organizaciones de la humanitaria están sabiendo que esto va a ser más cercano al caterar a la populación civil y a Gaza, Eli. A las 24 de la noche, corresponde a P.S. Sekelbach, muchas gracias por esta de la bordera de la israelí. Estamos viviendo ahí, un tono enorme, que se lleva de adentro a Gaza, a la bordera de la israelí, fue enviado por la IDF, y un otro ejemplo de lo que Hamas está haciendo con las muestras financieras, es decir, para la residencia de Gaza, pero fue usada, en lugar de la terror. La Segunda Defensa de la 24 de la noche corresponde a Jonathan Regev, fue en este tono dentro de la israelí. Es casi tres miles de largo, más de dos metros altos y lluvia por carros para ir aquí. Si alguien preguntó lo que Hamas ha hecho con los fundos grandes, que se producen cada mes, esta es la respuesta. Este tono, y cada infraestructura necesaria, cement, electricidad, agua, y también varios lugares altos para armas, lo que significa que estaba listo para usar, y el sábado que está muy cerca de la bordera israelí, de cerca de 400 metros, una cuarta de un minuto, de la base israelí de áreas, menos de dos minutos, y los terroristas ya están en territorio israelí. Es el más grande tono que se ha encontrado en la israelí, por lo tanto, cientos de terroristas pueden venir a este punto prácticamente indetectados. Este tono lleva por miles y miles, en un gaso, en un tono como Betchanun, Betlayatú, tres miles de inlanda, los terroristas vienen todo el camino aquí, y luego el sábado que está en el otro lado, cuando vienen a la tierra, hay casi 400 metros o una cuarta de un minuto de la base de la israelí. Antes de que el tono esté demolido, el IDF nos ha mostrado lo que los envelopes de dinero de Qatar están realmente utilizados para. Hamas, como organización terrorista, ha mostrado su face, usando su dinero, solo para la terror. Todo su investimiento, solo para la terror, no para los civiles de Gaza. No importa los civiles de Gaza, han only been used for one thing, for being a human shield. La tradición de que Hamas está poniendo su propia gente no es ahí. La cruz de la israelía fue el lugar donde 17,000 trabajadores de Gaza cruzaron cada día para trabajar en Israel y ganaron más gastos que los de la iglesia de Gaza. La base de la base de la asesina fue construida solo para permitir casos humanitarios de Gaza para ser tratados en Israel, pero éstos eran exactamente los tarjetos que Hamas estaba buscando. Hemos visto lo que pasa en el tono de la interior, ahora veamos lo que pasa en el exterior, right behind me is the shaft from here the terrorists come to the ground and just to my left about a 400 meters, a quarter of a mile, you see the concrete wall, that is the Israeli border, that is the Israeli base of areas you can see right over there, nothing more than a two minute run and the terrorists are already there. That is all it took them to get from this position and into Israel and in a war so full of terrible symbols here is another one. Three soldiers were kidnapped from the airspace. On the day the tunnel was unveiled, two of those soldiers were pronounced dead. Two of my soldiers that were kidnapped alive from this base on the 7th of October was murdered by Hamas militants while were in captive inside the Gaza Strip. So for me personally and for my unit it's a very complicated day. The corner of the air is crossing and the air is base serve as a reminder of what happened here on that terrible morning just a few hundred meters away, the mission ahead is clear. Without demolishing the tunnel project of Hamas, we cannot demolish Hamas. This may be the largest tunnel in Gaza or at least the largest one uncovered so far, but many many other small ones exist all across the Gaza border. This is where the hostages were taken deep into Gaza and from there disappearing all across the Strip, Israel among other missions now needs to destroy all of these tunnels to make sure that such a thing never ever happens again. Jonathan Regev, I-24 News. Our very own I-24 News senior defense correspondent Jonathan Regev and watching this report with us here in the studio is Moshe Levy who served right there, knows the turf and unfortunately now is facing the ramifications, the fallout of this terror infrastructure that was built there for so many years. Moshe, you are the brother-in-law of Omri Miran who was kidnapped to Gaza 72 days ago. We talked the latest. Let's talk about Omri. Tell us about him. Thank you for asking that. I think it's paramount to speak about those people as people and all those numbers. Omri is an amazing father to Ronin Alma. He was the house husband that he my sister developed her career in Sapir College and he dedicated a lot of his time to raise the girls. Ronin Alma es un terapéutico y un healer de muchas maneras. El hombre espiritual se conectó a la naturaleza, se enamoró de la naturaleza y aún se enamoró. Se convirtió en el apoyo de Maccabi Tel Aviv y Liverpool, se enamoró de la plataforma Nakhaloz. Se convirtió en su equipo futbol y volleyball. Se enamoró de Sarukumura Kami, el autor japonés. Él tiene todos los libros en el libro, que tendríamos que rebuildar ese libro cuando regresa porque de lo que sucedió en el hogar, pero no podemos tenerlo en contra de nosotros. Sí, no hay números. Más gente con un mundo completo, cada y todos uno de ellos. ¿Cuál fue la última vez que escuchaste algo sobre él? ¿Sabes que algunos de los diálogos que fueron lanzados, se han dado información sobre los que fueron detrás? Sí, sobre dos semanas atrás, solo que el colapso humanitario, se entendió que Omri fue vivo y por muchos de ellos que fueron lanzados. Pero entendemos ahora que eso fue dos semanas atrás y un glima de esperanza a ese momento no será más relevante hoy. El día en el que descubrimos de un nuevo hostia que fue muerto por Hamas o tragically killed. Yo he oído a Hamas accountable y responsable de toda la muerte de cualquier hostia. Ellos lo llevaron justamente, lo llevaron injustamente, lo llevaron injustamente. Así que yo lo llevo responsable. So we know that, but every second in captivity is eternity, every second risks his life. And that's why we want him back as soon as possible. And we are talking, as you alluded to, in the aftermath of the Segeya tragedy over the weekend, truly heartbreaking. I can only imagine what goes through your mind these days. It was a very difficult weekend, I think, for every family among the family of hostages, to be honest, to every family in Israel. I think I can say that the past 72 days and I'm astonished that it's been 72 days already. Our life changed completely. I don't want to be here with you. I'm sure you're a lovely person, but I want to be anonymous. Go about my day, my sister wants to be anonymous and Omri wants to be anonymous. But now he's known all around the world and we have to speak about him. An ongoing nightmare, to deal with this every day and those difficult days when the hostages are found dead, are very especially difficult for us mentally, but at the same time we try and focus on that small glimmer of hope. Because otherwise, if we don't have hope, other people will not rally with us either here in Israel or everywhere around the world, will not try to do representatives, will not fight for us on social media, will not tell the stories of the hostages, so we keep being hopeful. Yeah. And to that point, we mentioned at the opening of this broadcast that there are renewed contacts, let's put it that way at this point in time to get more hostages released. Have you heard anything official? We do know that at the same time the protest of the families of the hostages of course intensifies to an extent, what is it that you want to hear, you want to perhaps more so see from the Israeli government? I will start with that, I'm not a military strategist, I'm not a policymaker, not a politician. This is not my responsibility and I'm glad I live in a democratic country because elected officials are making the decisions for the citizens and they'll be held accountable and take responsibility when needed. What I do want to see for my elected officials is to be more present with us, the families of the hostages, more communicative with us and ensure that they explore all potential path to release them. It can be military pressure and it can be another route such as negotiations. I want my elected officials to be honest with us what is possible, I know that we are dealing with an irrational actor like Hamas and an actor that want to torment us psychologically and I hope all of us understand this and so they may not be willing even to negotiate but I want Israel to take the initiative alongside its allies, take the initiative and make sure that the other side understand that we are here to negotiate if needed, to release hostages and if the other side is not willing, military pressure will sadly be the only other potential option. Moshe, you've mentioned it earlier but I will be rude enough to try and get some strength through you. What keeps you going these days? I think what keeps me, keeps my family and many families and that's families who endure the trauma irrespective if they have hostages in Gaza right now, who suffered casualties and are displaced all around Israel now. We are hopeful that and we want to get more and more hope from the public and from our public officials, we need to make it clear every day that they are with us. Hope is what keeps us going and seeing people listening to us all around the world. I was in Congress a week and a half ago and I saw elected officials there of a different country. I lived there but I'm not a US citizen listening to me and promise to do what they can. And my sister was in Hungary last week doing the same thing and we see it here as well in Israel when we meet elected officials. They give us hope, the public gives us hope. That keeps us going because we need to be vocal. We have to keep this on top of the agenda of everyone otherwise we will forget that the hostages are still there. There are still hostages there who are there for nine years, let's remember that. Some of them are there since 2014, some from later. Hosts, civilians who were abducted by Hamas. We don't want to be in the same situation again. We have to ensure that everyone returns home. No one will forget them that no one is able. This nation's heart is not beating properly and will not be beating properly until they are all back. Moshe Levi, I really do hope that Omri will be back here with us in blissful anonymity, reading his books and playing football and taking care of his family with you as soon as possible. Thank you so very much for coming in studio. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. Trabajando a deep breath now and shifting at a focus to another battleground to the world's largest shipping firms, the Mediterranean shipping company and CMA, CGM announcing this weekend their suspending passage through the Red Sea after attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on this area. The announcement follows similar decisions by other shipping giants threatening freedom of navigation and one of the world's most vital trade routes and Middle East correspondent Ariella Saran brings us all the details. The world's biggest shipping companies are diverting their ships away from the Red Sea amid increased attacks by the Houthis in Yemen. The tidal wave of announcements comes as the U.S. and British navies shot down 15 suspected attack drones over the Red Sea on Saturday. The Iranian-backed Houthis said they launched a large batch of drones at Israel's southern city of Elat and will continue their attacks as long as the war in Gaza carries on. The Yemeni armed forces show all ships heading to all ports around the world except for Israeli ports that they won't be harmed but must keep their identifying devices open. The Mediterranean shipping carrier MSC, along with French CMA, CGM said on Saturday that they were suspending passage to the Red Sea. This followed similar steps by Dana's shipping giant, Maersk, German-based chipper Hapagloid, Taiwanese Yang Ming, and Israeli shipping line, Tsim, raising concern over the impact of the flow of goods through the major global trade corridor connecting Asia and Europe. The Houthis represent a material threat to freedom of navigation, to commercial shipping, to lawful commerce, and they're doing so in a vital artery there at the Babamandeb and into the Red Sea. And the United States is working with the international community, with partners from the region and from all over the world to deal with this threat. Despite the expected blow to its economy, Israeli leaders say they will respond to the Houthis attacks in due course. We are ready to act. We know what to do and we will find the right timing to act. We are giving a chance in the maritime issue to the international system. If we reach a situation where we are the last option, we will know what to do. And so, as the scale and frequency of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping reach unprecedented levels, the Pentagon is reportedly weighing its striking options. But after years of reluctance to act against Iran's proxies, these steps might turn out to be too little and too late. Joining us now here in studio, Mr. Martin Himmel, political and security analyst. Mr. Himmel, thank you very much for joining us. Well, the Houthi havoc, if I'm trying to look at the glass half full here, is getting clear that Iranian aggression, let it be through its nuclear program, its proxies, its missiles that are used by Hezbollah and by Russia and Ukraine, simply not Israel's problem, not just Israel's problem and more so far from sustainable. I think the world is aware of it. The question is what the world is going to do about it. You know, the United States has a problem with Iranian-backed Iraqi militias too that are firing on them. Y eso es por eso que la defensa secretaria de la U.S., la defensa secretaria de la U.S. está llegando aquí, o ya está aquí, y también el vicepresidente de la militaria americana está llegando. Entonces, están llegando por la muy razón de que este threat iraniano está causando problemas a través de la región. Pero también están preocupados por no devenir una guerra regional, digamos una guerra regional. No quieren ver una guerra masiva con Hezbollah y los Joutis y el Irak al mismo tiempo. ¿Cuál es el riesgo de la respuesta o de la falta? Esa es la pregunta de $64,000. Creo que, primero de todos, van a usar deterrencia cuando viene a los Joutis. Voy a estar emocionado si funciona, por lo que digo, y algún tipo de flexión probablemente tendrá que ser usado. Y luego verán donde va de ahí. Pero los Joutis también pueden agarrar en Saudi Arabia. Han hecho esto por muchas veces. Ellos han destruido algunas de sus instalaciones de aceite. Así que va a ser un acto balanceado de proporciones épicos, realmente, para ver lo que va a suceder. Y lo mismo con Hezbollah en nuestra región, aquí. Bueno, hablando de Hezbollah, naturalmente, hay un intento de traer comparaciones entre el Joutis y el Gaza Strip y Hassan Asrallah, en el norte y el sur de Lebanon. Pero hay una diferencia fundamental entre los dos, por perhaps muchas razones, pero simplemente para el hecho que, igual que el Joutis, quien no lo importa o no lo importa, cuando viene a la falta de su propio soldado, Nasrallah es mucho más sensitivo a eso. Sí. Bueno, hay una diferencia mucho más grande que eso, pero eso es una gran diferencia. Nasrallah lo importa mucho sobre Shiaites y el sur de Lebanon, lo importa mucho sobre el presente. Lo que tiene que entender es que también necesita a Hezbollah, no solo para ser una confrontación contra Israel, sino para ser una serie de fuerzas esenciales para el Presidente Assad. They won the war because Hezbollah was backing them, and if Hezbollah was to get seriously damaged in a war with Israel, that would weaken Bashar Assad's hold on Syria, a key Iranian ally. He would also weaken their hold on Lebanon and Lebanese affairs that are going on, because there's a lot of enemies in Lebanon against Hezbollah, the Sunnis, the Christians, the Druze. So, it's not that Nasrallah wants to threaten his own forces too easily, but he's not going to walk away from the south just like that. Right. We'll have to get something in return, so to speak. Yeah, precisely. Yeah, and the diplomatic efforts there continue. Mr. Hemel, you mentioned Lloyd Austin, the US Secretary of Defense arriving here tomorrow en Israel, touring the area, the region once again, Bahrain, Qatar. But more than all else, it seems that Austin will be looking for some concrete plans on behalf of Israel, on this next stage, this transformation of the war to become less intense. No other way to put it. Yes. Well, I think that it will not be less intense, the intensity of the fighting might drop, but the level of hostilities will still be there, because it's going to take quite a while, if ever, Israel can really control that region, because Hamas still has command control, Hamas is still firing rockets, Hamas is still holding hostages, Hamas is still negotiating. We don't know the whole picture as a fog of war there, but the situation still stands 72 days later. So, Israel is pretty determined to try to stop that. So, yes, I think that the Secretary of Defense will want to see some sort of action plan on that and an action plan afterwards, but there doesn't seem to be too much of a clear Israeli policy about the day after on that one. The day after and the day after is still quite far away. It seems when it comes to the military objectives on the ground, Mr. Morton Hemel, International Security and Political Analyst, thank you very much for joining us on this broadcast. We are concluding this broadcast right now, but we will be back at the top of the hour as we continue our rolling coverage here on I-24 News, Day 72 of the war in Israel. Thank you very much for watching. See you at the top of the hour. Israel is in a state of war, families completely done down in their beds. We have no idea where is she as our soldiers are fighting on the front lines, but the general perception is something that certainly needs to be fought as well. Esta semana en News 24, Israel bajo ataque. News 24 en español trae el análisis y la información de los acontecimientos de la guerra, espadas de hierro. Entrevistas exclusivas, reportes desde la zona de guerra, la reacción de los países hispanoparlantes. News 24, el único medio en español que te mantiene informado y conectado con la comunidad latina en Israel. News 24, únicamente en I-24 News. Special broadcast here on I-24 News as we continue our rolling coverage on Day 72 of the war here in Israel. And a follow-up, Israel's chief of Mossad and the Qatari prime minister, our reporter Lisa, to meet again later on this week after a quote positive meeting this weekend as attempts to bring about another release of Israeli hostages taking center stage yet again, but Hamas is keeping its cards close to the chest, maintaining rhetoric of all or nothing. And in the Gaza Strip, it seems a military victory in security triumph, not necessarily the same thing, more tactical gains for the IDF, including the unveiling of a huge terror tunnel, but is there light at the end of it? Meanwhile, the internal investigation into the Seja tragedy in which IDF soldiers mistakenly killed three Israeli hostages who somehow managed to get away, continues new chilling details on what happened. I am talking to you, not to say whether the soldiers were okay or not, but so that we will be okay in the future. You see two people, they don't threaten you, they are not with weapons, they are with their hands up, they are shirtless, take two seconds to think. I want to tell you something no less important, and if it's two garrsons with a white flag who want to surrender, do we shoot them? Absolutely not, absolutely not. This is not the IDF, listen to me, I'm telling you, whoever got confused here, That is correct, alien fighting is continuing in different areas of the Gaza Strip, of course in the south, you have Khan Yunus in the center, Shajaiya in Gaza City, but also in the north, in the north the Israeli military's operations are focused on destroying that remaining infrastructure belonging to Hamas and other Palestinian militias there, the discovery and also destruction of those tunnel systems and of weapons, depots, ammunition, depots, but continuously Hamas is also launching rockets onto Israeli cities and communities today, there were about three times Red Alert, Sirens ringing in different communities around the border, and also that was the latest barrage targeting the area west of the city of Ashkelon, and we could actually see those outgoing rockets that was about three hours ago, they were launched from the northern part of the Gaza Strip from the area of Bet Hanun or Bet Lahia there, and this is where the Israeli army claims to have operational control over, but although operational control, the Hamas is continuously firing rockets specifically from that area, and this just shows you how difficult it is to gain full control over these areas also 72 days into this war, and Hamas continuously also is showcasing its capability to even launch rockets onto the center of Israel on Saturday, we've seen those rockets on Jerusalem, but the pace certainly is slower as of course more than 70 days into this war Hamas needs to show a slow pace and needs to maintain some of its stocks to continue this war as nobody really knows when it's going to end on the other hand we've seen today that another crossing was opened for the entry of humanitarian aid, the Kerem Shalom crossing, this has been one of the main demands of the Americans, the US has been putting this forward, and Kerem Shalom has been used even before to inspect those good, those goods, the humanitarian goods, but now is the first day that a number of trucks have also entered, but humanitarian aid organizations are doubting that this is going to be even closer enough to cater to the civilian population in Gaza Ali. A 24 news correspondent P.S. Sekelbach, thank you very much for this from the Israel-Gaza border, staying right there a giant tunnel leading from deep inside Gaza, right through the Israeli border was unveiled by the IDF yet another example of what Hamas was doing with the loads of financial aid meant for Gaza residents, but was used instead only for terror. A 24 news senior defense correspondent Jonathan Regev was at this tunnel inside the Gaza Strip. It is nearly 3 miles long, more than 2 meters high and wide enough for cars to drive here. If anyone wondered what Hamas did with the giant funds provided every month, this is the answer. This tunnel had every infrastructure needed, cement, electricity, water, and also various hiding places for our weapons, meaning it was ready for use and shaft that is very close to the Israeli border, roughly 400 meters or so, a quarter of a mile from the Israeli base of the areas, less than 2 minutes, and the terrorists are already in Israeli territory. It's the biggest tunnel found in Gaza so far, hundreds of terrorists could come to this point practically undetected. This tunnel runs from miles and miles into Gaza, into towns like Betchanun, Betlaya, two or three miles inland. The terrorists come all the way up here, then the shaft being on the other side. Once they come up to the ground, they are nearly 400 meters or a quarter of a mile away from the areas crossing the area's base. Just before the tunnel is demolished, the IDF showed us what the money envelopes from Qatar are really used for. Hamas, as a terror organization, showed his face using his money only for terror. All of his investment only for terror, not for the civilians of Gaza. He doesn't care about the civilians of Gaza. They're only being used for one thing, for being a human shield. The tragedy that Hamas is putting its own people in does not end there. The areas crossing was the place through which 17,000 workers from Gaza crossing every day to work in Israel and earn wages far higher than they could in Gaza. The adjacent areas base was built only to allow for humanitarian cases from Gaza to be treated in Israel, but these were exactly the targets Hamas was looking for. We saw what happens in the tunnel inside, now let's see what happens outside. Right behind me is the shaft, from here the terrorists come to the ground. And just to my left, about 400 meters, a quarter of a mile, you see the concrete wall. That is the Israeli border, that is the Israeli base of areas you can see right over there. There's nothing more than a two-minute run, and the terrorists are already there. That is all it took them to get from this position and into Israel. And in a war so full of terrible symbols, here's another one. Three soldiers were kidnapped from the air's base. On the day the tunnel was unveiled, two of those soldiers were pronounced dead. Two of my soldiers that were kidnapped alive from this base on the 7th of October was murdered by Hamas militants while were in captive inside the Gaza Strip. So for me personally, for my unit, it's a very complicated day. Every corner of the air is crossing in the air's base serve as a reminder of what happened here on that terrible morning. Just a few hundred meters away, the mission ahead is clear. Without demolishing the tunnel project of Hamas, we cannot demolish Hamas. This may be the largest tunnel in Gaza, or at least the largest one uncovered so far. But many, many other small ones exist all across the Gaza border. This is where the hostages were taken deep into Gaza, and from there disappearing all across the Strip, Israel among other missions now needs to destroy all of these tunnels to make sure that such a thing never, ever happens again. Jonathan Regev, I-24 News. Our very own I-24 News, a senior defense correspondent, Jonathan Regev. And watching this report with us here in the studio is Moshe Levy, who served right there, knows the turf, and unfortunately now is facing the ramifications, the fallout of this terror infrastructure that was built there for so many years. Moshe, you are the brother-in-law of Omrim Iran, who was kidnapped to Gaza 72 days ago. Before we talk the latest, let's talk about Omri. Tell us about him. Thank you for asking that. I think it's paramount to speak about those people, as people in all those numbers. Omri is an amazing father to Ronny and Alma. He was the house husband that he, my sister, developed her career in Sapir College. And he dedicated a lot of his time to raise the girls. Ronny and Alma, he's a sheathos therapist, so a healer in many ways. Spiritual man, connection to nature, loved nature, and still loves. Devoted supporter of Maccabi Tel Aviv and Liverpool, he loves sports, he played for Nachalos, he's kibbutz for their football and volleyball team, he loves Sarukumura Kami, a Japanese author, he has all his books in the library, which was, we will have to rebuild that library when he returns because of what happened to the house, but we can't wait to have him back with us. Yes, not numbers, people with a full world, each and every one of them. When was the last time you heard anything about him? Would you know that some of the hostages who were released provided some information on those who were left behind? Yes, about two weeks ago, just as the humanitarian policy collapse, we understood that Omri was seen alive and by several of those who were released. Do we understand now that that was two weeks ago and a glimmer of hope at that time may no longer be relevant today, every day we discover of a new hostage who was murdered by Hamas or tragically killed, I hold Hamas accountable and responsible for all the death of any hostage, they held them justly there, taken unjustly, became unjustly hostages, so I hold him responsible. So we know that, but every second in captivity is eternity, every second risks his life and that's why we want him back as soon as possible. And we are talking, as you alluded to in the aftermath of the Sejaya tragedy over the weekend, truly heartbreaking, I can only imagine what goes through your mind these days. It was a very difficult weekend I think for every family among the family of hostages, to be honest, to every family in Israel. I think I can say that the past 72 days and I'm astonished that it's been 72 days already, our life changed completely, I don't want to be here with you, I'm sure you're a lovely person but I want to be anonymous, go about my day, my sister wants to be anonymous and Omri wants to be anonymous but now he's known all around the world and we have to speak about him. It's an ongoing nightmare to deal with this every day and those difficult days when hostages are found dead, very especially difficult for us mentally, but at the same time we try and focus on that small glimmer of hope because otherwise if we don't have hope other people will not rally with us, either here in Israel or everywhere around the world, will not try to do representatives, will not fight for us on social media, will not tell the stories of the hostages and so we keep being hopeful. Yeah, and to that point we mentioned at the opening of this broadcast there are renewed contacts let's put it that way at this point in time to get more hostages released, have you heard anything officials, we do know that at the same time the protest of the families of the hostages of course intensifies to an extent, what is it that you want to hear, you want to perhaps more so see from the Israeli government? I will start with that, I'm not a military strategist, I'm not a policy maker, I'm not a politician, this is not my responsibility and I'm glad I live in a democratic country because elected officials are making the decisions for the citizens and they will be held accountable and take responsibility when needed. What I do want to see for my elected officials is to be more present with us, the families of the hostages, more communicative with us and ensure that they explore all potential path to release them. It can be military pressure and it can be another route such as negotiations and I want my elected officials to be honest with us, what is possible, I know that we are dealing with an irrational actor like Hamas and an actor that want to torment us psychologically and I hope all of us understand this and so they may not be willing even to negotiate but I want Israel to take the initiative alongside its allies, take the initiative and make sure that the other side understand that we are here to negotiate if needed, to release hostages and if the other side is not willing military pressure will sadly be the only other potential option. Moshe, you've mentioned it earlier but I will be rude enough to try and get some strength through you. What keeps you going these days? I think what keeps me, keeps my family and many families and that's families who endure the trauma irrespective of the hostages in Gaza right now who suffered casualties and are displaced all around Israel now. We are hopeful that and we want to get more and more hope from the public and from our public officials. We need to make it clear every day that they are with us. Hope is what keeps us going and seeing people listening to us all around the world. I was in Congress a week and a half ago and I saw elected officials there of a different country. I lived there but I'm not a US citizen listening to me and promise to do what they can and my sister was in Hungary last week doing the same thing and we see it here as well in Israel when we meet elected officials. They give us hope, the public gives us hope. That keeps us going because we need to be vocal. We have to keep this on top of the agenda of everyone otherwise we will forget that the hostages are still there. There are still hostages there for nine years, let's remember that. Some of them are there since 2014, some from later, host civilians who were abducted by Hamas. We don't want to be in the same situation again. We have to ensure that everyone returns home. No one will forget them, no one is able. This nation's heart is not beating properly and will not be beating properly until they're all back. I really do hope that Omri will be back here with us in blissful anonymity, reading his books and playing football and taking care of his family with you as soon as possible. Thank you so very much for coming in studio. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. Taking a deep breath now and shifting a focus to another battleground to the world's largest shipping firms, the Mediterranean shipping company and CMA, CGM announcing this weekend their suspending passage through the Red Sea after attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on this area. The announcement follows similar decisions by other shipping giants threatening freedom of navigation and one of the world's most vital trade routes in Middle East correspondent Ariel Ossaran brings us all the details. The world's biggest shipping companies are diverting their ships away from the Red Sea amid increased attacks by the Houthis in Yemen. The tidal wave of announcements comes as the U.S. and British navies shot down 15 suspected attack drones over the Red Sea on Saturday. The Iranian-backed Houthis said they launched a large batch of drones at Israel's southern city of Elat and will continue their attacks as long as the war in Gaza carries on. The Yemeni armed forces shoe all ships heading to all ports around the world except for the Israeli ports that they won't be harmed but must keep their identifying devices open. The Mediterranean shipping carrier MSC, along with French CMA CGM, said on Saturday that they were suspending passage to the Red Sea. This followed similar steps by Danish shipping giant Maersk, German-based chipper Hapagloid, Taiwanese Yang Ming and Israeli shipping line Tzim, raising concern over the impact of the flow of goods through the major global trade corridor connecting Asia and Europe. The Houthis represent a material threat to freedom of navigation, to commercial shipping, to lawful commerce, and they're doing so in a vital artery there at the Babamandeb and into the Red Sea. And the United States is working with the international community, with partners from the region and from all over the world to deal with this threat. Despite the expected blow to its economy, Israeli leaders say they will respond to the Houthis' attacks in due course. We are ready to act. We know what to do and we will find the right timing to act. We are giving a chance in the maritime issue to the international system. If we reach a situation where we are the last option, we will know what to do. And so as the scale and frequency of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping reach unprecedented levels, the Pentagon is reportedly weighing its striking options. Pero después de años de la reluctancia para actuar contra las proxias de Iran, estos pasos pueden ser tan pocos y tan tardos. Vemos ahora en el estudio. Mr. Martin Himmel, político y analista de seguridad. Mr. Himmel, gracias mucho por ayudarnos. Bueno, la Houthi Havek, si estoy intentando mirar a la glacia aquí, es que es tan claro que la agresión iraniana, y que sea por su programa nuclear, sus proxias, sus misiles que están utilizados por Hezbollah y por Rusia, y por Ukraine. Simplemente, no es el problema de Israel, no es solo el problema de Israel, y más allá, de lo más sustentable. Creo que el mundo está consciente de que es lo que va a hacer el mundo. En Estados Unidos, tiene un problema con los milicios iranianos y iranianos, que también están acercando a ellos. Y es por eso que la Secretaría de Defensa de Austin, la Secretaría de Defensa de Estados Unidos, está llegando aquí, o ya está aquí. Sí, mañana. Y también el presidente de la militar americana está llegando. Entonces, están llegando por la muy razón que este threat iraniano está causando problemas a través de la región. Pero también están preocupados por no ser una guerra regional, digamos, una guerra regional. No quieren ver una guerra masiva con Hezbollah, y el Houtis, y el Irak, y todo el mismo tiempo. ¿Qué es el riesgo aquí? ¿Un responso o un fallo? Las preguntas de los $64,000, se puede decir. Creo que, primero de todos, van a usar el detergente cuando viene a los Houtis. Voy a ser sorprendido si funciona, por ejemplo, y algún peso flexorio, probablemente tendrá que ser usado. Entonces, vamos a ver dónde va. Pero los Houtis también pueden acercar a Saudi Arabia. Se han hecho esto por muchas veces. Se han destruido algunas de sus instalaciones de olor. Entonces, va a ser un acto balanceo de épicos proporciones, realmente, para ver lo que va a suceder. Y lo mismo con Hezbollah en nuestra región, aquí. Bueno, hablando de Hezbollah, naturalmente, hay un intento de hacer comparaciones entre el Higessenwar y el Gaza Strip y Hassan Asrallah en el norte y en el sur de Lebanon. Pero hay una diferencia fundamental entre los dos, por muchas razones, pero simplemente para el hecho de que, en el caso de Hezbollah, es un Higessenwar que no importa lo que sea cuando viene a la falta de su propio soldado. Nasrallah es mucho más sensitivo a eso. Sí, es una diferencia mucho más grande que eso, pero eso es una gran diferencia. Nasrallah importa mucho a Hezbollah en el norte y en el sur de Lebanon y lo importa mucho a la presencia. Lo que tiene que entender también necesita a Hezbollah, no solo la confrontación contra Israel, pero para ser una fuerza esencial que va a hacer Siria al Presidente Assad. Se ha ganado la guerra, porque Hezbollah fue retrasando a ellos. Y si Hezbollah fuera de ser seriosamente dañado en la guerra con Israel, eso lo haría a Bashar al-Assad y a Hezbollah, un aliado iraniano. Y también lo haría a Lebanon y a las fuerzas de Lebanon que están pasando. Porque hay muchas enemes en Lebanon contra Hezbollah, los sunnis, los cristianos, los drus. Entonces, no es que Nasrallah quiera rechazar su propia fuerza tan fácilmente, pero no va a ir fuera del norte, solo como eso. Right. Se va a tener que obtener algo en returnes, así que decirlo. Sí, precisamente. Sí, y los esfuerzos diplomáticos continúan. Mr. Hemel, mencionaste a Lloyd Austin, el secretario de la Unidad de Defensa llegando aquí mañana en Israel, viajando al área, el región, nuevamente, Bahrein, Qatar. Pero más que nada más, parece que Austin va a estar buscando algunas plantas concretas en el lado de Israel, en esta próxima fase, esta transformación de la guerra para que sea menos intensa. No hay otra manera de ponerla. Sí, creo que no será menos intensa. El intenso de la guerra se puede traer, pero el nivel de hostilidad todavía estará ahí, porque va a pasar un poco de tiempo, si el visual puede realmente controlar esa región, porque Hamas aún tiene control de la comandada, Hamas aún es un rocote, Hamas aún es un hostil, Hamas aún es negociado. No sabemos la toda la imagen, es un fogo de la guerra, pero la situación todavía está, 72 días más tarde. Así que no, y eso está bastante determinado para intentar detener eso. Así que, sí, creo que el secretario de Defensa va a querer ver algún tipo de plan de acción en eso, y un plan de acción afterwards, pero no parece ser demasiado clara de la política israelí sobre el día después de eso. El día después, y el día después, es todavía muy distinto. Es lo que parece que viene a los objetivos militarios en la tierra. Mr. Morten Hemel, Internacional Seguridad y Política Analista, muchas gracias por ayudarnos. En este programa, estamos concluyendo este programa ahora mismo, pero vamos a estar en el topo de las horas. Continuamos la rola de la información aquí en I-24 News, el día 72 de la guerra en Israel. Muchas gracias por ver, no sé cómo se preocupa. Los soldados están combatiendo en la línea frontal, pero la percepción general es algo que debe ser tomado también. Bienvenido a este programa aquí en I-24 News, continuamos la rola de la rola del día 72 de la guerra aquí en Israel. Y la seguida, Israel's chief of Mossad y el presidente de Qatari están reportadamente setes para reunir nuevamente, después de una mesada positiva, esta semana, la investigación interna en la tragedia de Sajaya, en la que los soldados mistakenemente mataron tres hostes israelíes que han logrado desplazarse, continúan los detalles y lo que sucedió, la idea de lanzar imágenes de las noticias de SOS Makeshift, los hostes que se han hecho, parecen con las luces de comida, en una construcción desherida, right near the scene de la trajea, el presidente de la IDF, diciendo claramente hoy nuestra moralidad no deberá y no podrá ser asesorado incluso durante una guerra de la suerte. Pero estoy hablando con ustedes, no quiero decir si hay algo... Yo estoy hablando con ustedes, no decir si los soldados están bien o no, pero para que estemos bien en el futuro, ves dos personas, no te threaten, no son con armas, son con sus manos, son con suerte, tomen dos segundos para pensar. Quiero decir algo menos importante, y si es dos garzones con un flag blanco, que quiera ser asesorado, ¿todos son los soldados? Absolutamente no. Absolutamente no. Esto no es la IDF. Escúchame, lo estoy diciendo. Si alguien se ha confuso aquí, si alguien nos ha pensado, y ahora pudo su arma y lo agarró con sus manos, lo capturamos, no lo asesoramos. Ahora, con este gran tonel que lleva de adentro a Gaza, right to the Israeli border, que fue enviado por la IDF, es otro ejemplo de lo que Hamas fue haciendo con los soldados y los soldados de la agencia financiera para la residencia de la Gaza, pero que fue usado solo por terror. I-24, nuevo señor defensa, Correspondent Jonathan Regev fue en este tonel adentro a la residencia de la Gaza. Es casi tres miles longas, más de dos metros altos y altos para carros para llevar aquí. Si alguien se ha preguntado lo que Hamas ha hecho con los grandes fundos que se producen cada mes, esta es la respuesta. Este tonel tiene toda la infraestructura necesaria, cement, electricidad, agua, y también varios lugares de hidros para armas, lo que significa que fue listo para usar, y el shaft es muy cerca de la bordera de Israel, aproximadamente 400 metros o menos, un cuarto de Omae de la base de Israel, menos de dos minutos y los terroristas ya están en el territorio de Israel. Es el gran tonel que se ha encontrado en la Gaza. Tienes de terroristas podría llegar a este punto prácticamente indetecido. Este tonel ronde de miles y miles en la Gaza, en las zonas de Betchanun, Betlaya, dos o tres miles en el país. Los terroristas vienen de todo el camino aquí. Y luego el shaft estará en el otro lado. Una vez que vienen a la tierra, son casi 400 metros o un cuarto de un millón de camino de la base de la base de la base de la tierra. Just before the tunnel is demolished, the IDF showed us what the money envelopes from Qatar are really used for. Hamas as a terror organization showed his face using his money only for terror. All of his investment, only for terror, not for the civilians of Gaza. He doesn't care about the civilians of Gaza. They are only being used for one thing, for being a human shield. The tragedy that Hamas is putting its own people in does not end there. The air is crossing was the place through which 17,000 workers from Gaza crossed in every day to work in Israel and earn wages far higher than they could in Gaza. The adjacent air base was built only to allow for humanitarian cases from Gaza to be treated in Israel. But these were exactly the targets Hamas was looking for. We saw what happens in the tunnel inside. Now let's see what happens outside. Right behind me he's the shaft from here the terrorists come to the ground and just to my left about 400 meters a quarter of a mile. You see the concrete wall that is the Israeli border. That is the Israeli base of areas you can see it right over there. Nothing more than a two minute run and the terrorists are already there. That is all it took them to get from this position and into Israel. In a war so full of terrible symbols here is another one. Three soldiers were kidnapped from the air base. On the day the tunnel was unveiled two of those soldiers were pronounced dead. Two of my soldiers that were kidnapped alive from this base on the 7th of October was murdered by Hamas militants while were in captive inside the Gaza Strip. So for me personally and for my unit it's a very complicated day. Every corner of the area's crossing and the area's base serve as a reminder of what happened here on that terrible morning just a few hundred meters away the mission ahead is clear. Without demolishing the tunnel project of Hamas we cannot demolish Hamas. This may be the largest tunnel in Gaza or at least the largest one uncovered so far but many many other small ones exist all across the Gaza border. This is where the hostages were taken deep into Gaza and from there disappearing all across the Strip Israel among other missions now needs to destroy all of these tunnels to make sure that such a thing never ever happens again. Jonathan Regge, I-24 News. Heading now to the southern border I-24 News correspondent Pia Sekelbach with the I-24 News team of course they're on the ground. Pia, the end of the 72nd day of the war the beginning of it another week of fighting and as mentioned earlier it's getting clear there's still a long way to go and this big gap between gaining control over terror strongholds and clearing them out completely a difference between military gains and security triumph. Right, Elien, we've seen an example of that yet another one today the IDF is saying that they have operational control over the northern part of the Gaza Strip however the latest barrage of rockets coming out of the Gaza Strip targeting their communities east of Ashkelon they came from exactly that part from the northern Gaza Strip that we could look into the neighborhoods of Bedhanun, Bedlahia so although the IDF claims to have operational control and is operating there on a daily basis Hamas is still able to fire rockets exactly from there to area especially when we look into the northern part of Gaza the operation there on the ground focus on destroying the remaining infrastructure we speaking of course first and foremost about those tunnels to destroy them, to localize them first of all and to destroy them then but also weapons and ammunition depots there then of course fighting continues on the ground in the Shajai neighborhood in Gaza city and of course in the south in the Khan units at the same time now a second crossing has been opened up for the entry of humanitarian aid Israel opened up the Kerem Shalom crossing that was one of the demands that the U.S. has put forward to first of all also minimize the number of civilian casualties in Gaza and also to allow for more humanitarian aid to enter so Kerem Shalom has been used before to inspect humanitarian aid today was the first day that trucks actually crossed from there into Gaza an Egyptian source told the Reuters news agency that today 79 trucks entered that is together with the Rafa crossing the number is supposed to reach 200 every day but one of the main concerns on the Israeli side was the concern that this aid might not even get to the civilians in Gaza that might be stolen by Hamas and other military groups Israel has claimed to have proof for that earlier also as well today we've seen footage coming from the Rafa crossing where trucks were basically looted by what seemed to be civilians people who are just in their dispan their frustration taking down those packages dozens of people lining up in front of those trucks and taking down those parcels and those packages of that aid from that truck and this comes as humanitarian organizations continue to warn that the humanitarian situation in terms of food, medicine, clean water is getting worse every day this war continues so now that this other crossing has been opened up hopes are high that more aid is going to enter the question is is that practicable and will that aid reach areas of the Gaza Strip Alley? Yes, still many questions up in the air I-24 news correspondent Pia Sarkobar thank you very much for your reporting throughout the day and joining us now in Studio 4 Some more insights Mr. Dan Perry, International Affairs Analyst thank you very much Mr. Perry for joining us well, let's do begin now with those attempts that seem to be gaining some seam to bring about a new hostage release deal and from reports on the context between the Israeli Mossad chief and the Qatari prime minister we understand that the Qataris are essentially urging Israel to come out with some sort of an outline that will be a basic reference to any negotiations and again, reportedly, Mossad chief Bernad been talking about exactly that with the Israeli cabinet well, the idea of coming together in hostage plan, hostage release and prisoner release plan that meets the needs of both sides depends on the desperation of both sides basically yeah now you see the situation in Gaza Hamas is not running a democracy but they do, they do feel pressure from the street as for Israel, what happened on Friday this tragedy with the killing of three hostages who really, the narrative should have been they were rescued not shot at despite waving the version of a white flag and shouting SOS creates a sense in the Israeli public that something needs to change because in the entire time in this war and remember this is the longest war in the history of Israel at this point since 48, 49 and counting, no end in sight I mean, what has really happened has the war succeeded in prizing free hostages now only negotiations have the war brought back one hostage Magadish was freed and a whole bunch of bodies and tragic mishaps and reports of murders as we suspected when the invasion began that they would at least in some cases kill the hostages so we shall see what happens when the true price of a deal becomes clear to the Israeli public but right now there is a growing clamor to be proactive Yes, and once again from what we understand it's the need for Israeli action to lead the way that its counterparts are urging You're not going to get too far in life waiting for a Gagiasan war to have an epiphany Yeah, who's calling the shots or at least setting the foundations to any discussion and to that point exactly The US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin arriving here in Israel tomorrow another whirlwind Middle Eastern tour Bahrain Qatar and Austin, that is will want to see more precise plans from Israel on this transitional phase between the current intense level of fighting and the less so He's going to want to see a bunch of things He's going to want to see more concrete plans to finish the war in a way that Israel can live with but that doesn't involve another two, three, four, five, six months of intensive fighting because the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza will at that point become unbearable to the world He I think also is probably displeased with Netanyahu's decision to take on the White House as regards the day after by declaring a priori that it will not be the Palestinian Authority even though that leaves really no alternative to permanent Israeli occupation which is a nightmare in and of itself that's not that popular in Israel either but for Netanyahu that clearly constitutes a potential ticket that he can take to the voter that isn't the ticket that says I was responsible for the biggest disaster in the history of Israel on October 7th And meanwhile, while Israel seems to be reluctant to discuss the day after the US is keen to do so when it is doing so with the Palestinians according to reports this evening the US is talking to the Palestinian Authority on reviving its security mechanisms Yeah, and they need to do more clearly they need to undergo a major rejuvenation and reform for them to be a viable partner for Israel in the Arab League, I think, in the world as the new government in Gaza but it's telling that the US is speaking to the Palestinians who are essentially going around Netanyahu with, I think, the acquiescence of Netanyahu's coalition partner is Beniganz and Gadi Eisencourt who very much probably would go along with this plan and we see perhaps one result of it and statements coming out of the PA in recent days to the effect that Hamas must change its ways And you mentioned Gant, a war cabinet member Beniganz is telling the families of the hostages today that Sinwar's had, like, to get him out of the equation literally is not the core of the issue the core of the issue is Hamas and you can read it in two different ways one is that he's trying to downplay the importance of getting Sinwar simply because of the fact that Israel seems to be unsuccessful in doing so o signalling that this target is not that important It's hard to imagine an endgame for Israel that doesn't evolve Hamas from moving power and it's hard to imagine Hamas from moving power without Yahis and war being either gone or arrested once more or perhaps exiled I'm almost hoping that what he's hinting at if indeed there was a thought there that what he's hinting at is that they'd be prepared to under some circumstances if the carrots is big enough for Israel allow Sinwar and his fellow rogues to have amnesty, to depart, to go to Qatar Yeah, this is a very rude model that we've been talking about since the earlier days of the war Alright, then speaking of the international involvement in what is happening the French Foreign Minister was in Israel today meeting her Israeli counterpart discussing both the desire in Paris for a ceasefire in Gaza and the prospect also for a diplomatic deal in the north with Lebanon that will end Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel Sinir diplomatic correspondent Owen Alterman filing this report earlier this evening from the Ben-Gurion Airport Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with his French counterpart Catherine Colonna here at Ben-Gurion Airport earlier on in the day They spoke at the podiums you see behind me and had this to say, Eli Cohen about the issue of calls for a ceasefire in Gaza The Hamashtar organization celebrate last week's UN General Assembly resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire No wonder they celebrate it It's exactly what they wish for Let me send a clear message to the international community to the UN member states If a federal organization celebrates your decision it means you have made a wrong decision That's a charged message with the French Foreign Minister standing next to Eli Cohen Of course the French government at a relatively early stage through President Emmanuel Macron himself having come out and called for that ceasefire that the Israeli government sees at this stage as so unwanted On another issue the two sides may well see eye to eye the issue of Israel's northern border and finding a diplomatic arrangement to move his Bola's military presence away from the border north of the Letani River Here's what Foreign Minister Colonna had to say to a question from I-24 News I'll be in Beirut tomorrow and France, just like its partners is calling on its Lebanese counterparts to do everything they can to avoid a flare-up in Lebanon that would make it the first victim y I'll be bringing that message to Beirut Our partners there, I believe, feel similarly I would like to add that very clear messages have been sent to Hezbollah as well so that the security of Israel end of Lebanon, I must add should not be threatened even more For the Israeli government this is a tricky visit On one hand, the deep disagreements about the war in Gaza even with the full-throated expressions of support for the Israeli public from Foreign Minister Colonna the fact that the French government has come out as such an important European power calling for a ceasefire obviously brings in tension with the Israeli government On the other hand, I think the understanding in Israel that the French government is certainly not a hostile actor and also has an important role to play in the diplomacy with Lebanon given France's ties with Lebanon and its special relationship with Lebanon and the expressed desire of the Israeli government through the statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night and the statements here at these podiums from Foreign Minister Eli Cohen earlier on today that the Israeli government wants a diplomatic solution in Lebanon as a Plan A and a military operation only as a Plan B Owen Alterman, I-24 News at Ben-Gurion International Airport And as mentioned, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin will be arriving here in Israel tomorrow a high-proof visit, no doubt that will have a whole lot of impact on the current and future state of the war but today, not less important a massive American tech delegation touching base here with one clear message the answer to tear is thriving Ron Miasnik, investor at Rain Capital Ventures and co-organizer of Israel Tech Mission is here with us in studio thank you very much for joining us welcome to Israel well, how did it all come to being? Yeah, it's a good question I think after October 7th one of the outside of feeling kind of the tragedy and the pain in the states I think one of the things that the American especially the Jewish community in the states felt was helplessness right, how can we go support what can we go do y we saw these delegations going out for political leaders for Jewish nonprofit organizations but the American tech and venture capital community is so tied into Israel we felt that that was missing right, and so a group of us but mostly on the east coast and in New York CEOs, investors, executives came together and said hey, the most important thing we can do right now is actually go show up and so we put together this group it all happened within a couple of weeks and here we are the delegation just landed today and I will be asking you to engage in some name dropping because we are talking big names here and the overall American sentiment is complex, challenging you name it especially with the younger generation was it difficult to get so many big names on board? The easy answer is actually no and I think October 7th Don't believe the press you say I know, I know and I think that the thing to note is October 7th I think put a lot of things into perspective for a lot of people right, I think it's very easy when something really impactful happens to go, go back to your roots and realize what's actually important and for a lot of people standing with Israel standing with the Jewish people is, you know, was at their core and they felt a big need to go to Israel when the initial idea for the trip came up we were thinking to bring 15, 20 people to the country and very quickly got interest that far, far, far outstripped that in the interest in the hundreds and we ended up bringing a delegation I think which is one of the largest if not the largest to date of 65 senior executives and CEOs and investors of the country and, you know, we're thrilled about it it was easier than we expected and, you know, really it's amazing to see the show of support and obviously there's much symbolic significance and again this powerful demonstration of solidarity or as you mentioned just being here, showing up but what does it mean in practice? Yeah, I think our primary goal you know, we ask ourselves what platform do we have and how can we use that platform to support the country, right? And at the end of the day we are a, we're business people we're tech leaders and we're investors and so the platform that we have is to go help rebuild the Israeli economy after October 7th and go support the Israeli tech sector and we see that coming into form in three primary ways, right? We want to go learn where we want to go meet with senior business execs technology execs, political leaders humanitarian leaders, families of hostages refugee families understand what's needed in the country we want to go create relationships, right? We want to go meet people that are our equivalents on the ground and see, so we're seeing the right opportunities we're able to support companies and three, we want to invest, right? We actually want to go support the Israeli tech economy moving forward support the thriving tech ecosystem and help do what we can to bring it back. Well, you use the term rebuilding and that perhaps alludes to the current state of the Israeli economy some fear that it might not overcome. How do you see things? I think the Israeli people are are and have always been a resilient people a few weeks after October 7th, I started as an investor at Bain at Bain Capital Ventures I started getting inbound from companies that were forming companies that were fundraising companies that were giving growth metrics even in spite of all the economic difficulties and the fact that tons of their employees were in reserves and they were dealing with emotional problems they were still building and I think the really interesting thing that we're seeing right now is that every act of fundraising opening a company growth is actually an act of patriotism and nationalism, right? It's no longer just business interests. It's hey, we are every single entrepreneur every single employee the tech company has a part in going and rebuilding this country which is unbelievably powerful. I'm personally very fortunate that my firm Bain Capital Ventures has actually decided before this and through this to double down on Israel and continue supporting the economy here. And before we thank you Ron Miasnik, what's on the agenda? What's expected this week? We're meeting with some incredible, incredible people with President Herzog with former Deputy Prime Minister Benny Gantz. We just, I just came back from a meeting with Ayal Waldman and Michael Eisenberg. We're going down south meeting visiting Farazza and Kibbutz Berri meeting families of refugees hearing from, me meeting refugees hearing from families of hostages really trying to understand what's happening in the country listen, support and do what we can. Ron Miasnik, Investor at Bain Capital Venture and co-organizer of this Israel Tech Mission the largest to date. Thank you so very much for coming here in studio and thank you very much for what you do. Thank you so much. Dan Perry, before we let you go in another twist and turn when it comes to the opinions of American youngsters if you ask them Israel and I'm quoting should be ended and given to Hamas according to a new poll. How do you address that? There clearly is a misalignment between 18 to 24 olds in the U.S. and almost every other demographic although there's also a sliding scale where support for Israel declines as people get younger. We've discussed this before young people get their information on TikTok and social media. It is not a context that creates deep sinking, critical sinking. They're very reactive and of course on social media the masses of Muslim global, Muslim tweeters and TikTokers and so forth just have the numbers. It's disturbing, problematic. You can assign part of it to the fall of youth, a lot of it to the social media divergence of Gen Z from the rest of society. I think it's temporary and also it can be overstated. The same poll that you mentioned also showed that 58% I think it was of Gen Z think that October 7th was an act of terror that they oppose. So it's complex. I think mainly they're confused and you look at delegations like this one that come to Israel and I think that reflects something else. Well, two things. One, the incredible profundity of Israeli technology where cyber security investments, a quarter of them globally come to Israel. That's not going away because of a war with Hamas. And the second is that let's not despair so quickly. There is a lot of support in the U.S. and the West, also in Europe, to the fundamental mission of Israel in general. What is doing in Gaza? Mr. Dan Perry, thank you very much for joining us on this broadcast and this is it from us tonight. But you can always stay updated of course by following us on social media and on I-24 News. Dutch TV continuing to bring you all the latest on day 70, at the end of day 72 of the war here in Israel. Thank you very much for watching. Have a peaceful, quiet night. Israel is in a state of war. Families completely done down in their beds. We have no idea where is she. As our soldiers are fighting on the front line but the general perception is something that certainly needs to be fought as well. Real story must reach the whole world. The I-24 News channel broadcasting from Israel with dozens of correspondents throughout the world brings the truth from Israel to hundreds of millions of people in scores of countries. They are completely done down in their beds. De la frontera que se va a Israel, the state of emergency and war in Israel. Bringing Israel's story to the world. I-24 News Channels, now on hot. Welcome to this special broadcast here in I-24 News as we continue our rolling coverage, day 72 of the war here in Israel. And to follow up Israel's chief of Mossad and Decatur prime minister are reportedly set to meet again later on this week after a quote positive meeting this past weekend as attempts to bring about another release of Israeli hostages are taking center stage but Hamas is keeping its cards close to the chest maintaining this rhetoric of all or nothing for the time being on the ground in Gaza. It seems a military victory and a security triumph for not necessarily the same thing, more tactical gains for the IDF including the unveiling of a huge terror tunnel but there's your light at the end of it. Meanwhile, the internal investigation into the Sahaja tragedy in which IDF soldiers mistakenly killed three Israeli hostages who managed to get away continues a new chilling details on what happened, the IDF releasing images of makeshift SOS signs, the hostages made seemingly with food leftovers in a deserted building right near the scene of the tragic shooting, the IDF chief of staff saying clearly tonight our morality shall not and will not be harmed even during such a bloody war. I am talking to you not to say whether the soldiers were okay or not but so that we will be okay in the future. You see two people, they don't threaten you, they are not with weapons, they are with their hands up, they are shirtless. Take two seconds to think. I want to tell you something no less important and if it's two guards with a white flag who want to surrender, do we shoot them? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. This is not the IDF. Listen to me, I'm telling you, whoever got confused here, even whoever fought with us and now put down his weapon and raised his hands, we capture him, we do not shoot him. Now to this giant tunnel leading from deep inside Gaza, right to the Israeli border that was unveiled by the IDF, yet another example of what Hamas was doing with the load and loads of financial aid meant for Gaza residents, but instead was used only for terror. I-24 News Senior Defense Correspondent Jonathan Regev was at this tunnel deep inside a Gaza Strip. It is nearly three miles long, more than two meters high and wide enough for cars to drive here. If anyone wondered what Hamas did with the giant funds provided every month, this is the answer. This tunnel had every infrastructure needed, cement, electricity, water, and also various hiding places for our weapons, meaning it was ready for use in a shaft that is very close to the Israeli border. Roughly 400 meters or so, a quarter of a mile, from the Israeli base of the areas, less than two minutes, and the terrorists are already in Israeli territory. It's the biggest tunnel found in Gaza so far. Hundreds of terrorists could come to this point practically undetected. This tunnel runs from miles and miles into Gaza, into towns like Betchanun, Betlaya, two or three miles inland. The terrorists come all the way up here, then the shaft being on the other side. Once they come up to the ground, they're merely 400 meters or a quarter of a mile away from the areas crossing the area's base. Just before the tunnel is demolished, the IDF showed us what the money envelopes from Qatar are really used for. Hamas, as a terror organization, showed his face using his money only for terror. All of his investment, only for terror, not for the civilians of Gaza. He doesn't care about the civilians of Gaza. They're only being used for one thing, for being a human shield. The tragedy that Hamas is putting its own people in does not end there. The area's crossing was the place through which 17,000 workers from Gaza crossed in every day to work in Israel and earn wages far higher than they could in Gaza. The adjacent area's base was built only to allow for humanitarian cases from Gaza to be treated in Israel, but these were exactly the targets Hamas was looking for. We saw what happens in the tunnel inside now. Let's see what happens outside. Right behind me is the shaft from here. The terrorists come to the ground and just to my left about 400 meters, a quarter of a mile. You see the concrete wall? That is the Israeli border. That is the Israeli base of Eres. You can see it right over there. Nothing more than a two-minute run and the terrorists are already there. That is all it took them to get from this position and into Israel. And in a war so full of terrible symbols, here is another one. Three soldiers were kidnapped from the Eres base. On the day the tunnel was unveiled, two of those soldiers were pronounced dead. Two of my soldiers that were kidnapped alive from this base on the 7th of October was murdered by Hamas militants while were in captive inside the Gaza Strip. So for me personally, for my unit, it's a very complicated day. Every corner of the Eres crossing and the Eres base serve as a reminder of what happened here on that terrible morning. Just a few hundred meters away, the mission ahead is clear. Without demolishing the tunnel project of Hamas, we cannot demolish Hamas. This may be the largest tunnel in Gaza, or at least the largest one uncovered so far, but many, many other small ones exist all across the Gaza border. This is where the hostages were taken deep into Gaza and from there disappearing all across the Strip. Israel, among other missions, now needs to destroy all of these tunnels to make sure that such a thing never, ever happens again. Jonathan Regev, I-24 News. Heading now to the southern border. I-24 News correspondent, P.S. Kolbach, with the I-24 News team. Of course, they're underground. Pia, the end of the 72nd day of the war, the beginning of it, another week of fighting. And as mentioned earlier, it's getting clear. There's still a long way to go and this big gap between gaining control over terror strongholds and clearing them out completely. A difference between military gains and security, security triumph. Right, Elin, we've seen an example of that, yet another one today. The IDF is saying that they have operational control over the northern part of the Gaza Strip. However, the latest barrage of rockets coming out of the Gaza Strip, targeting their communities east of Ashkelon, they came from exactly that part from the northern Gaza Strip that we could look into the neighborhoods of Bed Hanun, Bed Lahia. So although the IDF claims to have operational control and is operating down a daily basis, Hamas is still able to fire rockets exactly from there to area, especially when we look into the northern part of Gaza, the operation there on the ground focused on destroying the remaining infrastructure. We're speaking, of course, first and foremost, about those tunnels to destroy them, to localize them first of all and to destroy them then, but also weapons and ammunition depots there. Then, of course, fighting continues on the ground in the Shajaiye neighborhood in Gaza City and, of course, in the south, in the Han Yunus at the same time. Now, a second crossing has been opened up for the entry of humanitarian aid. Israel opened up the Kerem Shalom crossing. That was one of the demands that the U.S. had put forward to, first of all, also minimize the number of civilian casualties in Gaza and also to allow for more humanitarian aid to enter. So Kerem Shalom has been used before to inspect humanitarian aid. Today was the first day that trucks actually cross from there into Gaza. An Egyptian source told the Reuters News Agency that today 79 trucks entered. That is, together with the Rafa crossing, the number is supposed to reach 200 every day, but one of the main concerns on the Israeli side was the concern that this aid might not even get to the civilians in Gaza that might be stolen by Hamas and other military groups. Israel has claimed to have proof for that earlier also as well. Today we've seen footage coming from the Rafa crossing where trucks were basically looted by what seemed to be civilians, people who were just in their dispens, their frustration, taking down those packages, dozens of people lining up in front of those trucks and taking down those parcels and those packages of that aid from that truck. And this comes as humanitarian organizations continue to warn that the humanitarian situation in terms of food, medicine, clean water is getting worse every day this war continues. So now that this other crossing has been opened up, hopes are high that more aid is going to enter. The question is, is that practicable and will that aid reach areas of the Gaza Strip? Yes, still many questions up in the air. I-24 News Correspondent, Pia Sekelbach. Thank you very much for your reporting throughout the day and joining us now in studio for some more insights. Mr. Dan Perry, International Affairs Analyst. Thank you very much Mr. Perry for joining us. Well, let's do begin with those attempts that seem to be gaining some seam to bring about a new hostage release deal and from reports on the contacts between the Israeli Mossad chief and the Qatari prime minister. We understand that the Qataris are essentially urging Israel to come out with some sort of an outline that will be a basic reference to any negotiations and, again, reportedly Mossad chief Barnab has been talking about exactly that with the Israeli cabinet. Well, the idea of coming together in a hostage plan, hostage release and prisoner release plan that meets the needs of both sides depends on the desperation of both sides, basically. Yeah. Now you see the situation in Gaza. Hamas is not running a democracy but they do feel pressure from the street. As for Israel, what happened on Friday, this tragedy with the killing of three hostages who really, the narrative should have been they were rescued, not shot at despite waving the version of a white flag and shouting SOS, creates a sense in the Israeli public that something needs to change. Because in the entire time in this war, and remember, this is the longest war in a history of Israel at this point since 48, 49. And counting, no end in sight. I mean, what has really happened? Has the war succeeded in pricing free hostages now? Only negotiations have. The war brought back one hostage. Magadish was freed and a whole bunch of bodies and tragic mishaps and reports of murders as we suspected when the invasion began, that they would, at least in some cases, kill the hostages. So we shall see what happens when the true price of a deal becomes clear to the Israeli public but right now there is a growing clamor to be proactive. Yes, and once again, from what we understand, it's the need for Israeli action to lead the way that it counterparts are urging. You're not going to get too far in life, waiting for Gaius and Warren to have an epiphany. Yeah, who's calling the shots or at least setting the foundations to any discussion. And to that point, exactly, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin arriving here en Israel tomorrow, another whirlwind Middle Eastern tour, Bahrain Qatar, and Austin, that is, will want to see more precise plans from Israel on this transitional phase between the current intense level of fighting and the less so. He's going to want to see a bunch of things. He's going to want to see more concrete plans to finish the war in a way that Israel can live with but that doesn't involve another two, three, four, five, six months of intensive fighting because the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza will, at that point, become unbearable to the world. He, I think, also is probably displeased with Netanyahu's decision to take on the White House as regards the day after by declaring a priori that it will not be the Palestinian Authority, even though that leaves really no alternative to permanent Israeli occupation, which is a nightmare in and of itself. That's not that popular in Israel, either, but for Netanyahu, that clearly constitutes a potential ticket that he can take to the voter that isn't the ticket that says I was responsible for the biggest disaster in the history of Israel on October 7th. And meanwhile, while Israel seems to be reluctant to discuss the day after, the U.S. is keen to do so and it is doing so with the Palestinians, according to reports this evening. The U.S. is talking to the Palestinian Authority on reviving its security mechanisms. Yeah, and they need to do more, clearly. They need to undergo a major rejuvenation and reform for them to be a viable partner for Israel in the Arab League, I think, in the world as a new government in Gaza. But it's telling that the U.S. is speaking to the Palestinians. They're essentially going around Netanyahu with, I think, the acquiescence of Netanyahu's coalition partners, Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisencourt, who very much probably would go along with this plan. And we see, perhaps, one result of it in statements coming out of the PA in recent days to the effect that Hamas must change its ways. And you mentioned Gantz, a war cabinet member. Benny Gantz is telling the families of the hostages today that Sinwar's head, like, to get him out of the equation literally is not the core of the issue. The core of the issue is Hamas. And you can read it in two different ways. One is that he's trying to downplay the importance of getting Sinwar simply because of the fact that Israel seems to be unsuccessful in doing so, o signaling that this target is not that important. It's hard to imagine an endgame for Israel that doesn't involve Hamas to remove from power. And it's hard to imagine Hamas to remove from power without Yahis and war being either gone or arrested once more, or perhaps exiled. I'm almost hoping that what he's hinting at, if indeed there was thought there, what he's hinting at is that they'd be prepared to, under some circumstances, if the carrots is big enough for Israel, allow Sinwar and his fellow rogues to have amnesty, to depart, to go to Qatar, something of that nature. Yeah, this is a very rude model that we've been talking about since the earlier days of the war. All right, then speaking of the international involvement in what is happening, the French Foreign Minister was in Israel today meeting her Israeli counterpart, discussing both the desire in Paris for a ceasefire in Gaza and the prospects also for a diplomatic deal in the north with Lebanon that will end Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel. Senor Diplomatic Correspondent Owen Alderman filing this report earlier this evening from the Ben-Gurion Airport. Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with his French counterpart Catherine Colonna here at Ben-Gurion Airport earlier on in the day. They spoke at the podiums you see behind me and had this to say, Eli Cohen, about the issue of calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Hamasler Organization celebrate last week's UN General Assembly resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. No wonder they celebrate it. It's exactly what they wish for. Let me send a clear message to the international community, to the UN member states. If a federal organization celebrates your decision, it means you have made a wrong decision. That's a charged message with the French Foreign Minister standing next to Eli Cohen. Of course, the French government at a relatively early stage through President Emmanuel Macron himself having come out and called for that ceasefire that the Israeli government sees at this stage as so unwanted. On another issue, the two sides may well see eye-to-eye the issue of Israel's northern border and finding a diplomatic arrangement to move Hisbola's military presence away from the border north of the Letani River. Here's what Foreign Minister Colonna had to say to a question from I-24 News. I'll be in Beirut tomorrow and France, just like its partners, is calling on its Lebanese counterparts to do everything they can to avoid a flare-up in Lebanon that would make it the first victim. And I'll be bringing that message to Beirut. Our partners there, I believe, feel similarly. I would like to add that very clear messages have been sent to Hezbollah as well, so that the security of Israel, end of Lebanon, I must add, should not be threatened even more. For the Israeli government, this is a tricky visit. On one hand, the deep disagreements about the war in Gaza, even with the full-throated expressions of support for the Israeli public from Foreign Minister Colonna, the fact that the French government has come out as such an important European power calling for a ceasefire, obviously brings in tension with the Israeli government. On the other hand, I think the understanding in Israel that the French government is certainly not a hostile actor, and also has an important role to play in the diplomacy with Lebanon, given France's ties with Lebanon and its special relationship with Lebanon, and the expressed desire of the Israeli government through the statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night, and the statements here at these podiums from Foreign Minister Eli Cohen earlier on today that the Israeli government wants a diplomatic solution in Lebanon as a Plan A and a military operation only as a Plan B. Owen Alterman, I-24 News, at Ben-Gurion International Airport. And as mentioned, U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin will be arriving here in Israel tomorrow. A high profile visit, no doubt, that will have a whole lot of impact on the current and future state of the war, but today, not less important, a massive American tech delegation touching base here with one clear message, the answer to terror is thriving. Ron Miasnik, investor at Rain Capital Ventures and co-organizer of Israel Tech Mission, is here with us in studio. Thank you very much for joining us. Welcome to Israel. Well, how did it all come to being? Yeah, it's a good question. I think after October 7th, one of the outside of feeling kind of the tragedy and the pain in the states, I think one of the things that the American, especially the Jewish community in the states, felt was helplessness, right? How can we go support? What can we go do? And we saw these delegations going out for political leaders, for Jewish nonprofit organizations, but the American tech and venture capital community is so tied into Israel, we felt that that was missing, right? And so a group of us, but mostly on the East Coast and in New York, CEOs, investors, executives came together and said, hey, the most important thing we can do right now is actually go show up. And so we put together this group. It all happened within a couple of weeks. And here we are, the delegation just landed today. And we'll be asking you to engage in some name dropping because we are talking big names here. And the overall American sentiment is complex, challenging. You name it, especially with the younger generation. Was it difficult to get so many big names on board? The easy answer is actually no. And I think... No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Y creo que la cosa que noto es que en octubre 7, creo que ha puesto muchas cosas en perspectiva para mucha gente, ¿no? Creo que es muy fácil, cuando algo muy impactante pasa, irme a tus rutas y ver qué es realmente importante. Y para mucha gente, estar con Israel, estar con los juzgos es, ¿no? ¿Es en su cuerpo? Y se sentía un gran necesito para ir a Israel. Cuando la idea inicial de la visión se salió, pensamos que llevar 15, 20 personas al país. Y muy rápido, hay intereses muy, muy, muy mas importantes. En la interés en los cientos. Y terminamos de llevar un delegado, que creo que es uno del más grande, si no más grande de hoy, de 65 consejeras seniores, y colegas y investidores del país. Y estamos emocionados de ello. Es más fácil que esperamos. Y realmente, es increíble ver el show de apoyo. Y obviamente hay mucha significación simbólica en esta demostración de solidaridad, o como mencioné, estoy aquí, mirando, pero ¿qué significa en práctica? Creo que nuestro objetivo primario, nos preguntamos, ¿qué plataforma tenemos y cómo podemos usar esa plataforma para apoyar el país? Y al final del día, somos businesspeople, somos líderes de tecnología y somos investidores. Y la plataforma que tenemos es para ayudar a rebuild la economía israelí después de octubre 7 y apoyar al sector de la sector israelí. Y vemos eso volviendo en tres formas primarias. We want to go learn, we want to go meet with senior business execs, technology execs, political leaders, humanitarian leaders, families of hostages, refugee families, understand what's needed in the country. We want to go create relationships, we want to go meet people that are our equivalents on the ground and so we're seeing the right opportunities, we're able to support companies and three, we want to invest. We actually want to go support the Israeli tech economy moving forward, support the thriving tech ecosystem and help do what we can to bring it back. You use the term rebuilding and that perhaps alludes to the current state of the Israeli economy. Some fear that it might not overcome. How do you see things? I think the Israeli people are and have always been a resilient people. A few weeks after octubre 7 I started as an investor at Bane Capital Ventures. I started getting inbound from companies that were forming, companies that were fundraising, companies that were giving growth metrics even in spite of all the economic difficulties and the fact that tons of their employees were in reserves and they were dealing with emotional problems they were still building and I think the really interesting thing that we're seeing right now is that every act of fundraising, opening a company, growth is actually an act of patriotism and nationalism. It's no longer just business interests. It's every single entrepreneur, every single employee at a tech company has a part in going and rebuilding this country I'm personally very fortunate that my firm, Bane Capital Ventures has actually decided before this and through this to double down on Israel and continue supporting the economy here. And before we thank you Ron Miasnik, what's on the agenda? What's expected this week? We're meeting with some incredible, incredible people with President Herzog with former deputy prime minister, Benny Gans. I just came back from a meeting with Ayal Waldman and Michael Eisenberg. We're going down south meeting, visiting Farazza and Kibbutz Berri, meeting families of refugees, hearing from, meeting refugees, hearing from families of hostages, really trying to understand what's happening in the country, listen, support and do what we can. Ron Miasnik, investor at Bane Capital Venture and co-organizer of this Israel Tech Mission. The largest to date. Thank you so very much for coming here in Sudan. Thank you very much for what you do. Thank you so much. Dan Perry, before we let you go in another twist and turn when it comes to the opinions of American youngsters. If you ask them, Israel, and I'm quoting, should be ended and given to Hamas according to a new poll. How do you address that? There clearly is a misalignment between 18 to 24 olds in the U.S. and almost every other demographic. Although there's also a sliding scale where support for Israel declines as people get younger.
