Benjimin Netanyahu dice Israel va a hacer sus propias decisiones sobre la seguridad y 19 muertos en Oman y Dubái para cerrar su aeropuerto como un rey grave y flotando contra los estados de golf. Irán's Lebanese proxy Hezbollah ha anunciado responsabilidad para un ataque a un avión en el norte de Israel. 14 soldados de IDF fueron entre 18 muertos, cuatro de ellos seriosamente medicales, dice que están tratando a 18 personas y dice que uno de ellos es en una condición crítica. La identidad de los otros cuatro personas es aún desconocida, pero los reportes que estamos tomando en en additions a la confirmación que la IDF dice que sus miembros están usando este centro comunitario en el Alamche town, que es justo en la dirección con Lebanon. Los reportes vinculando dicen que fue primero una misión de anti-tank que fue tirada de Lebanon. No hay silencio en el área y cuando eso hizo impacto, los soldados empezaron a correr contra un área protegido. Sin embargo, un avión, un avión que fue con explosiones también llegó a la área y fue detonado. Entonces, de nuevo, la IDF también inspeccionó por qué ese avión no se interseptó, por qué las silencias no sonan y por qué el avión no se interseptó, dos cosas que la IDF certamente necesita ver. Sin embargo, no hace mucho tiempo después de eso, como las medicinas fueron respondiendo a la escena, hay dos diferentes ronos de red alerta, este momento indicando a los rockets, nuevamente en el área. Y, como menciona, Hezbollah, pidió responsabilidad para este ataque, diciendo que hicieron disparar diferentes misiles y UIVs en el área, diciendo que estaban targetando en la construcción militaria israelí y retaliación para la eliminación de dos de sus señoras, Commandadores Hezbollah, ayer. La IDF confirmó también que hicieron eliminar a un comandante de las fuerzas de red y a otro comandante de la región de costa para Hezbollah, que también fue responsable para planificar y aclarar a múltiples diferentes rockets y misiles a través de Israel en el curso de esta guerra. Ahora mismo, como estamos viviendo en el área, tenemos unos reportes de Lebanon sobre un gran estrés en Lebanon, diciendo que Israel es un estrés en la región de la back region de Lebanon. Esto no es el right on the Southern border, on the border with Israel. This is much deeper inside Lebanese territory but once again, these are just the initial reports. The IDF already did claim responsibility for retaliation to the Hezbollah strike on Aram Shea, saying that they were able to hit the site, the launch as well as other Hezbollah military infrastructure where some Hezbollah operatives were remaining as well, but all of those strikes on the Southern border, de la ciudad de Bordertown. Así que si estamos obteniendo más de estos reportes, más detrás de Lebanon, esto indica una fuerte respuesta que viene de la IDF. Nicole, muchas gracias. Nicole Zedek, ahí, en el norte de Israel, y estamos viendo una escalación en el norte, como el mundo espera. Israel responde a eso en precedencia a un ataque por Irán en la tarea de la noche. Les voy a presentar a nuestro estudio. Este día, Dr. Michael Oren es el ex-Israelí ambassador a los Estados Unidos. Bienvenido. Benjamin Antoni es el CEO del Miriam Institute. Gracias por haber venido con esto. Los dos. Así que, vamos a recapitar lo que la situación es ya en el norte de Israel. Es básicamente inhabitable, ¿no? En las grandes maneras. Tens de mil de israelíes no pueden volver a sus hogares. Creo que 800 hogares han sido destruidas por misiles Hezbollah. ¿Puede que Israel responda a Irán a lo que sucedió en la tarea de la noche por Hezbollah? No exclusivamente. Creo que Israel ha mantenido un nivel de conflict con Hezbollah desde el último octubre. Y ha tenido muchos sucesos. Pero no es una subvención para la respuesta a 350 proyectiles que nos llevaron ayer a la noche de saturday por Irán. Eso requiere una magnitud diferente de respuesta. Y creo que es una respuesta más directa. Creo que el problema es por los últimos 15 años que hemos estado jugando por los rules de los iranianos, que es Irán que tiene sus proxies que nos han asustado. Nos asustamos a las proxies, las proxies que hay en la población civil. Y Israel viene a ser un crimen de la guerra. Cada vez. Y Irán se pide a Scott Free. Esta vez, Irán no puede ir a Scott Free. Y tenemos que cambiar las reglas del juego. Cada vez que hay una agresión por una proxie, el precio debe ser pagado por Irán. Benjamin, estamos seguramente viendo una escalación en el norte. Sí, dos semanas atrás visité a los soldados en Sheba Hospital en Telashomer en rehabilitación. Y te conocen los soldados que han sido asustados en Gaza que han perdido sus manos, perdido sus dedos. Y no conocí a un soldado que ha perdido un arma y que fue paralizado desde el rostro. Fue paralizado a los naves israelíos y se ha pasado como una munición abierta de Saddam-Lebanon y de Bajis bala en el norte de Israel. Y él describió la situación de los soldados ahí como que se asustó. Soy un poco de voz minoritaria en este punto. No creo que soy la única voz, pero creo que desde el principio, después de la atracción de octubre 7, Israel debería poner su mano con respecto a la gaza. Definitivamente, han perdido y conclusivamente, tal vez, hablarán de lo que se hace en el show. Pero primero, deberían haber degradido dramatically sus capacidades balas en el norte de Saddam-Lebanon. Están más potentes y más peligrosos. Y no puedo ver un escenario donde ningún israelí ciudadano estaría bien avisado de regresar al norte bajo estas circunstancias. Es, sinceramente, impregnable del gobierno, en mi opinión. Bueno, vamos a llevar a David Dowd. Él es un esbola y el señor de Lebanon con la fundación para la defensa de la democracia. Bienvenido a David. Bienvenido a ver a vosotros. Estamos seguramente viendo una escalación rápida en el norte. ¿No? ¿No? Estamos en los últimos 48 horas? O sea, ¿es esto donde vemos la respuesta de Israel a Irán? Y en tu opinión, ¿dónde debería estar? Gracias, de nuevo, para tener Leon. No sé si describimos esto en escalación. Esto ha sido la nueva regla del juego que ha estado en la fase latina del conflicto entre Israel y Hezbollah que ha comenzado. Cuando Hezbollah comenzó la agresión contra Israel en octubre 8. La ecuación que ha sido set, es que cuando Israel trae a militares comandos de Hezbollah, Hezbollah intenta despliegar el dolor contra Israel por arreglar especificas sensibles instalaciones o sensibles locaciones intentando traer la sangre, al menos intentando dar la impresión de traer la sangre. Y los israeles responden más profundo y más profundo a Lebanon. Estamos viendo esto como has notado en tu reporte con la Bekaa Valle. Israel tiene la suerte en este caso y creo que necesita dar la cuenta de eso. Se necesita parar trabajando, creo que el former embajador Oran dice en las equationes y las reglas de engañamiento set por su adversario set por Hezbollah set por Irán. Se necesita set las reglas de engañamiento para este conflicto. Ahora ¿verdad un estrés en Hezbollah sustituir un estrés en Irán? Absolutamente no. Creo que hay alguna sobreviva. Irán, perdón, ¿es Irán's star proxy? Es su extensión primaria. Se hace dar a Irán una borda a a alongside Israel, que Irán en sí mismo no tiene. So, damaging Hezbollah da damage a Irán indirectamente, pero creo que también necesita ser una directa retaliación para el ataque directo que ocurrió en Israel sobreviva esta semana. Bueno, Hezbollah es una proxy de Irán. No sabemos cuánto Hassan Nasserallah Hezbollah sabe lo que Irán está intentando hacer en la noche. Pero ¿qué imaginas la posición de los grupos de lo que sucedió? Los misiles, por supuesto, han desaparecido. Ahora, Hezbollah podría encontrarse en la línea de acción. No puedo imaginar que no lo sabían. Desde el ámbito de sus anuncios que se ponen, se insistió que la retaliación sería iraniano. Nasserallah ha hecho este punto varias veces en su discurso en el 8 de abril, pero la respuesta sería iraniano. Cuando atacaron a ellos la noche de la ataque fue 12.35 a.m. Ellos están conductando ataques a Israel. Hacen claro que no fueron parte de esta retaliación. Creo que es porque hay una decisión entre ellos y los iranianos para proteger a Hezbollah de esto y no dar a Israel la legitimidad internacional para conductar una actividad más intensa contra Hezbollah. Eso es algo que quieren evitar. No sé si es correcto llamar al ataque de los iranianos ha falto. Estaba interceptado. No sabemos si esto fue una estación simbólica. Hay un montón de análisis que dice que Irán meant esto para ser simbólico. ¿No habría sido por las interceptaciones por el aeropuerto de Israel, por el sistema de defensa de Israel, por los aliados de los israelianos? Jordan, el britán, el francés, los Estados Unidos, no sabemos cuánto daño Irán había intentado hacer. Y creo que eso es algo que es una consideración cuando Israel planea su respuesta y cómo decidir lo que su postura debería ser por el día después. David, muchas gracias, de hecho, David Dowd, ahí en el FDD. Justo para obtener tu reacción a lo que has escuchado de David Dowd, que no sabemos cuánto es el balón nuevo sobre lo que Irán intentó hacer. Pero ahora puede, por supuesto, encontrarse en el aeropuerto. Sí, pero, como el Ambassador ha dicho y como pensé desde el exterior, también. Ha sido un cambio fundamental de las reglas de este macabra juego, que fue una situación en la que sus proxies tendrían como y así así. Pero una vez que tienes un intento directo, y no me llamaría un tránsito, de acuerdo con esa descripción es un tránsito interceptor. Una vez que tienes un tránsito directo desde Irán a Sovereña Israel, Israel ha tenido que retrasar a Sovereña Irán. Ahora, puede hacer eso en el momento de su elegimiento, puede hacer eso con todo el plan que esperamos que se aplicara a un tránsito. Y creo que eso debe venir más pronto, más tarde. Pero podemos también certamente estresar a las proxies en el norte, en el Salón de Lebanon y jizbara, como dije, debería haber hecho mucho tiempo antes, sería un buen tiempo para hacer eso ahora. De acuerdo con eso. Entonces, entrevistar con la Presidencia Internacional, que, ya sabes, hasta el sábado hasta hoy, encontró este narrador mucho, que la Irán ha enviado esto como un mensaje. Se trae las intenciones, y incluso las personas decían que se coordinaron con los Estados Unidos, con el Turquie, ha enviado los drones a la cabeza de la cruz, los misiles, nos dieron mucho tiempo para hacer nuestro acto defensivo juntos y llevarlo a todos estos proyectos. No lo compro, no hay mucha gente aquí que lo compre. Y la verdad es que si uno de estos rockets, y estos rockets son bastante más que la lengua de este estudio, con 500 kilogramos de explosiones, que es suficiente no tener una construcción, sino tener una ciudad. Si uno se ha traído y murió a 1000 israelíes, ha sido una situación completamente diferente hoy. Y no hay manera que los iraníes pudieran saber en advance que todos estos proyectos habrían sido intercambios. Y si ellos pensaron eso, fue un desgraciado. Gracias. Los israelíes están apreciando para limitar su respuesta a Irán seguiendo los drones y los misiles atacan en la noche saturday. Prima ministra Netanyahu ha estado con los germánes y los ministros en Jerusalem. El correspondiente de los israelíes tiene más. Como se trae los expectantes de retaliación a su gran ataque por la semana, Irán's presidente Ibrahim Raisi usó un parado de armada para arreglar Israel contra cualquier retaliación. Si el regime zionista hace el más lejos de violar nuestra territorio y romper el interés nacional de la republica islámica, hay que entender que van a hacer una severa y grave respuesta. El parado de anual fue convertido de su ruta tradicional y, no usual, no se presentó en la televisión. Las autoridades no han explicado para el parado que habrá sido para evitar un parado. El plan de acción para la verdadera promesa fue una operación limitada. No fue un comprensivo y extensivo plan. Hace la retaliación contra Israel ha sido una mayor acción. Entonces los regímenes zionistas habrían visto que nada quedaría del regime zionista. Pero, mientras en Jerusalem, los germanos y los ministros británicos urgen a el presidente Netanyahu a limitar la respuesta a Irán. Netanyahu dice Israel responde de manera que se fit. Es right to be in here in Israel today to show solidarity after that appalling attack by Iran. We made clear our views yesterday about what should happen next. But we also said Israel is an independent sovereign country and gets to make these choices. I thank our nation's friends for their support in the defense of the state of Israel. Both in supporting us in words and also with an active support. They also have all kinds of suggestions and advice. I appreciate that. But I wish to make one thing clear. We will make our decisions ourselves and the state of Israel will do everything necessary to defend itself. While Saturday's drone and missile attack largely failed, Israeli intelligence also failed to foresee the massive nature of it and from the pressure from its allies to the unpredictability of Iran's response, Israel has many things to consider as it chooses how to respond. So, Ambassador Oran, an awful lot of pressure on Israel from its allies, allies which help shoot down those Iranian missiles on Saturday night. Israel to limit its response. I mean, its hands are really tied here. Yeah, well, we can't do that now, can we? We have to respond and or else the message gets out to the entire region that you can fire you know, hundreds of rockets at us with impunity and you can't you can't do that and that would deeply compromise our fundamental security. So you explain to our allies, yes, we understand we're going to be smart in doing this. We're not maybe not responded in kind by, you know, sending hundreds of projectiles a Tehran. Iran is a is a target rich environment for Israel. There are many ways we can respond to this. There are oil facilities along the Persian Gulf. You're right in oil fields. That could go up in the smoke in flames very easy. There are way the regime itself is very vulnerable right now. It's shaky, the economy is shaky. Highly un popular regime. We could deepen that un popularity in various ways. There are vulnerabilities before cyber attacks. There's different ways we can do this that will not risk, you know, igniting the entire region and some kind of conflagration because that's what our allies fear most. Ways that will maintain the the access, the alliance that was revealed last Saturday night between us and the moderate students in the SUNY States. And this can be a way. This is going to be it's this threading a very narrow needle. But I think Israel can do it. All right. And Benjamin, there is an argument as well that Israel should not squander the international goodwill is currently enjoying at least from its allies. You know, I'd like to talk about something adjacent to this. I think that there's a real concern that this could end up being a macrocosm for the microcosm that we saw with regard to Gaza and the state of Israel. You had rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip year on year on year. Since our disengagement from there year on year on year our air defense got better and better. Our people remain terrorized, however. And all the while the strength of the air defense systems that we had brought our leaders to what I would describe as analysis paralysis. No decisive policy with regard to the Gaza Strip. I don't want to see that overlaid onto the nation entire. On a bigger scale. On a much bigger scale. On a macrocosmic scale. When you have rockets, ballistic missiles fired at the state of Israel, just as the citizens of the south have been for many, many years. The entire country is paralyzed as a consequence of terror. OK, that cannot be permitted. It cannot be tolerated. And all we have to realize is that as we defend our enemies continues to get more calculated. They continues to get stronger and stronger. God forbid we should face the equivalent of a macrocosmic October 7th. The way that we did on October 7th as a consequence of our misdirected attention when it came to the rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip. All right. Well, let's go back to Saturday Night for a moment because there was a powerful display of military technology at the defense against Iran's attack demonstrated the strength of the US-led Israeli alliance defense infrastructure. Could Israel now leverage this moment to push for a deeper anti-Iran alliance? With more on that, our correspondent Robert Swift. Several factors came together to blunt Iran's unprecedented attack against Israel earlier this week. Israeli intelligence and military innovation, advanced Western weapons technology and the combined power of cooperative action. Thanks to unprecedented cooperation in coalition led by the United States, Britain, France and other countries, which is in itself a great strategic achievement in the Middle East. The Iranian attack was thought of. I think that considering this, the possibilities available to Israel are wider. U.S.-led coordination allowed for intelligence and radar data sharing and freedom of operation in different airspaces, including with several Gulf Arab states that passed on time-sensitive information, enabling the defense. The success of this strategy and the possibilities it could yield to Israel going forward may explain Jerusalem's delay in responding to the strikes. We have an opportunity to establish a strategic alliance against the grave threat from Iran. Built by its advocates as a NATO-like pact in the Middle East, a partnership between Israel and Gulf Arab states could be the next step on the path set out by the Abraham Accords. But while states such as the UAE and even Saudi Arabia may be warming their ties with Israel, they are doing the same with Iran, walking a balancing act. Their actions could be seen as intended to reduce the risk of war in the Middle East rather than to support Israel. Nonetheless, diplomatic options are available to Jerusalem if it can play its cards right. So, Ambassador Orran, I mean, one of the upsides, if you can call it that of Saturday's attack, is that it showed that these U.S.-leds, a Sunni-Israeli defense mechanism, works? It works. Okay, and then how do you preserve it? How do you expand it? I believe that there's a great historic opportunity here. If the United States would take the lead on it, it would be wonderful. It's not easy, because now you have 15 years of democratic party policy which seeks to reconcile with Iran. So you have to do a 180-degree turn and go from reconciliation to confrontation. And the United States, the Biden administration would come to the Middle East and say, okay, we're gonna really build up this alliance. We're gonna build this alliance, not just as defensive alliance, but also as an offensive capabilities, give Israel the means to defend itself. We don't have all the means. We do not have strategic bombers. We only have fighter bombers, which are small and carry relatively small payloads. We could address the Palestinian issue within that framework, which would be very interesting. We could conclude a peace treaty between Israel and Saudi Arabia. And we could transform the entire region. It really begins with the United States acknowledging the fact that Iran, Iran is what links Hisbola, Hamas, and this attack Saturday night. Iran-Iran is a source of instability, violence, and war in the Middle East. And it's a hard turn for America to make an election year, but a necessary one. Do you see a glimmer of hope there? And does the United States have the backs of its Sunni allies? We saw, of course, what happened when President Biden came into the White House. One of the first things he did was to criticize Saudi Arabia, called it a pariah state. I mean, do you think that has changed? And one of the first things he did was to try to renew the Iran nuclear deal. And you think that, yeah, of course. That didn't play so well neither with Israel nor with our Sunni allies. Now, that's got to change. And that's basically take calling on the President to acknowledge that the policy of seeking reconciliation with the Ayatollahs in Iran is a failed policy and say, okay, we're gonna switch. We're gonna swivel. In an election year, of course. In an election year, it's not easy. By the way, when a lot of people are out there protesting, pro-Palestinian protesters are processing in support of Iran. Yeah, it's gonna be an interesting democratic party, isn't it? Benjamin, you're viewing that. Yeah, I do see a glimmer of hope here, but I don't think that the fact that they worked in a coordinated fashion to down this attempt to strike by Iran gives them any right to dictate the terms of our response or retaliation to the Iranians. That's the first thing. And then also you have the recalcitrants who just will not see that, which is right in front of them, such as the infinitely wise Joseph Borrell, the EU foreign minister, who said, you know, when they were moving towards the notion of sanctioning Iran, something which is supposed to placate Israel incidentally, that if there are biting sanctions, perhaps Israel doesn't need to actually respond to the Iranians. Joseph Borrell said, well, I would think it's over, but I need to have proof that the IRGC is actually engaged in terror from a credible state. I mean, the tomeritan or that sort of individual like that. Yeah, okay, all right, Benjamin, thank you very much. Well, Turkey's foreign minister, meanwhile, has revealed that he met with the Hamas political chief Ismail Haniye in Doha, Haqan Fidan is in Doha for talks with the Qatari leadership. And last night, Turkey's president Erdogan said Israel's prime minister was to blame for Iran's attack on Saturday night. Let's go to Istanbul. We're joined by journalist Ayla Jean Yakli. And Ayla Jean, Turkey has embraced Hamas for many years now, hasn't it? Hamas leaders have lived between Turkey and Qatar. This is not really a surprise. This is a kind of an extension of that policy. Yes, you know, Turkey doesn't recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. And when the issue of their presence in Turkey, their physical presence in Turkey has come up, they've said repeatedly that members of Hamas are free to come and go. You know, that said, I think that it would be quite a difficult foreign policy challenge for Turkey if somebody like Ismail Haniye were to relocate here more permanently. When Fidan met him in Qatar, we know from Turkish diplomatic sources that they talked about, at least what they revealed was a pretty general notion such as increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza, ceasefire negotiations, and the state of Israeli hostages. So that might indicate that Turkey is still trying to carve out some kind of mediation role here, that it still sees its influence with Hamas as being something that might lead to one of those things, such as a release of hostages or a ceasefire potentially. Ah, OK. Well, we've just been talking about how the US and its allies in the region work together to thwart Iran's attack or to shoot down the missiles. Are there concerns in Turkey that it's being left out of this very important alliance? I think that, you know, over the last few months, Turkey has sought perhaps been disappointed by the fact that it hasn't had a bigger role in negotiating some kind of truce or even, you know, greater access for humanitarian aid to Gaza. But I don't think it's necessarily surprised. At least it shouldn't be surprised that it's left out. What's been notable since Iran's attack on Israel is a lack of condemnation from the Turkish side. So I think that is quite telling. And, you know, without some kind of at least very basic statement expressing concern about what happened to Israel, it's difficult for Turkey to expect that it would have some kind of more meaningful role. What attack is main fears about an all out war between Israel and Iran? You know, that's something that the foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, has expressed worry about. I mean, he's over the course of the last few months. He has said that he sees the conflict in Gaza is either resulting ultimately in a great peace or a great war. And he has said that Turkey does prefer a great peace, the former. So Turkey is worried about a regional war. That's something that it's very much on alert for. But, you know, there are some domestic concerns here. Might be surprising for some of your viewers, but, you know, Erdogan's party did very poorly in recent nationwide municipal elections. That didn't affect Erdogan's tenure in government, but his party did see a great setback to its lowest level of support since it came to power 20 years ago. And one of the reasons that party officials have said is behind that decline in support has been, you know, Erdogan's stance on Israel as sharp as his rhetoric has been against Israel. Things like trade have continued. And some of this might be an effort to, you know, placate the unhappy masses over his treatment of Israel. So. Interesting. Eilidjim. Thank you very much, Eilidjim Yatly there in Istanbul. We're taking a short break when we come back. Qatar's Prime Minister says hostage talks have stalled. We'll have the details next. 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 certainly needs to to be fought as well. 2024 is the entire world together all of France. The I-24 News Channel broadcasting from Israel with dozens of correspondence throughout the world brings the truth from Israel to hundreds of millions of people in scores of countries. Completely done down in their beds. De la frontière par Israel. The state of emergency and war in Israel. Bringing Israel's story to the world. I-24 News Channels now on hot. Welcome back well with the region on high alert amid a potential Israeli response to Iran. Qatar's Prime Minister says that talks to secure a hostage release and truth in Gaza have stalled his Qatar's Prime Minister speaking earlier. Unfortunately, the negotiations are between moving forward and stumbling. At this stage we are going through a sensitive phase with some stumbling. We are trying as much as possible to address and solve the stumbling to move forward and to put an end to the suffering of the people of Gaza and to ensure the release of the hostages at the same time. Just a few days out from Passover devastating news for the families of the 133 people who are still being held in Gaza. Let's go down to Central Tel Aviv. Balir Sladine is there where some of the supporters of the families of the hostages are gathering. Balir Sladine Israel no es el mejor a decir el menos porque de las las desarrollaciones y las propuestas por Erdogan como hemos oído a ellos hemos oído a ellos disminuyen desde el 7 de octubre ataque. Y ahora esto está sucediendo en el mundo árabe diplomático árabe source aparentemente en Egipcia contó ABC News que las conversaciones de los hostages están enfocadas debido a la posibilidad de escalación con la Irán y hoy el chief de la Militaría Herzlavi ha dicho a los hostages que el combate para la liberación de los hostages es una misión suprema y lo que vemos de las familias de los hostages están pidiendo un cambio de batalla que el gobierno necesita hacer una batalla ahora y se critican las las desarrollaciones y las desarrollaciones negativas porque ahora no tiene presión por qué el hostages ahora . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . morir y el mundo impone un incendio de incendio en Israel sin condiciones, sin dar a los hostes en todo o al menos en situaciones creadas que están conducidas para un incendio de incendio permanente y se va a mantener para eso. Por todo o nada. Sí, por supuesto, por qué no. ¿Y qué tiene que perder? Sí, bien, Benjamin, yo creo que hay enormes presiones internacionales en Israel, de los alianos, no para responder a Irán y también no para ir a Rafa, los últimos trogos de Hamas en Gaza. ¿Qué puede Israel hacer ahora, básicamente? ¿Una vez más, las manos están a la lado? No, no creo que Israel las manos están a la lado, necesariamente, pero creo que es inesperadamente una decisión de desesperación. La realidad es que perdimos el momento cuando hablamos de ese pausa en el principio de Ramadan, y la única razón que debemos de que hagan pausa no hubiera pasado. Pero hubiera sido si los hostes estuvieran en el río, similar a la primera vez que eso sucedió. Eso no sucedió y, por lo tanto, los defensivos israelíes deberían haber presionado a Rafa. Por cierto, no podemos preventar la resurgence, la reemergencia y el rearmamiento de Hamas sin tomar Rafa y then holding the crossing between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. ¿Tienes que pensar que la idea todavía irá a Rafa? ¿Tienes que pensar que sí? Espero que sí. Creo que tenemos la capacidad de hacer eso. Y no creo que requieramos cualquier apoyo de la comunidad internacional para desplazar el fallo de los ciudadanos de Israel, que es ir y terminar este trabajo. No olvidaremos los horarios del 7 de octubre. No olvidaremos la verdad. Esto fue bien dentro de nuestra visión para lograrlo. Puedemos destruir los permanentes petales de Hamas dentro del Gaza Strip. Y no creo que deberíamos perder el momento. Espero que lo regainemos y lo presionamos. Volviendo a la semana noche, Ambassador Oren. Jordan fue entre los países que ayudaron a desplazar esos misiles. King Abdullah ha tomado un montón de calor para eso. Y hemos visto un montón de instabilidad en Jordan. Las fotos de Rafa pueden desplazar la balanza dramatically, ¿puedo no? Sí, sí, pero ¿qué es la alternativa? Agree que no tenemos la posibilidad de ir a Rafa, que es esencial para nuestra seguridad. Jordan tiene sus propiedades, no lo menos que es la subversión de los iraníes. Se han ido moviendo y proporcionando apoyo material, apoyo logístico a grupos de oposición, grupos de radicalismo, dentro de Jordan, intentando desplazar el gobierno de Jordan. Jordan tiene sus propiedades para desplazar a Irán, no solo por nosotras, y para mantenerlo en mente. No hay ningún movimiento aquí que no va a llevar costo, si es retaliar contra Irán o ir a Rafa, tiene costo. Al final de la día, creo que no tenemos ninguna opción. Y creo que la mayoría de los israelíes compren que en estos temas no hay compromiso en la seguridad fundamental. Un par de semanas antes, hay grupos de IDF que están en el centro de Garza. Las fotos que se están viendo hoy en la media israelíes, creo que podemos tener una mirada en eso ahora. Estas son las fotos de dentro de Garza. ¿Pueden ver esas fotos en Garza? Pueden ver muchas personas. ¿Pueden ver las fotos? Sí. Ahí estamos. Esto está pasando en la media israelí. Puedes ver civilizaciones en el mar, las personas muriendo. No parece una zona de la guerra. Pueden ver si estas fotos se hacen en el mundo. Benjamin, ¿qué nos dice sobre las operaciones en Garza? Me dice algunas cosas. Primero, el gobierno sigue describiendo lo que está pasando dentro de Garza como guerra, pero con todos los respectos a la Brigade Nachal, que se mantiene muy high esteam, la presencia de una Brigade... Es el último Brigade de Garza. La presencia de un único Brigade dentro de Garza no hace una guerra. Nada de lo que sea. Lo mejor es que se mantiene en una área que sabemos sobre esa barra que te está mostrando, y no lo he visto antes. Pero puedo decir que yo viajo bastante regularmente en la barra de Rishon Letzion, y no es más popular que esa barra que te dice es la barra de Garza. También militarmente, tacticamente, la presencia de civilizaciones en estas áreas es un factor muy complicado para la eficacia de las fuerzas de defensa israelías cuando y si viene a romper la operación dentro de la barra de Garza. Y, por lo tanto, la barra de Calta es una de las demandas de Sinwá, que es para dar a Garza a regresar al norte. Esto es un error muy grande y un error muy grande. Mira, las fuerzas tienen un momento en el que tocan. Llevamos ese momento, como dije, antes de Ramadán. Militares están either moving forward or they are moving backward. They should not be stagnant. I strongly suggest that we move forward into Rafa. ¿Se sucede, Abastor, que Israel has at least now got on top of the aid issues, taking a normal lot of heat for that for a long time? We said for weeks we have gotten on top of the aid issues. The issue wasn't the amount of aid, but it was the distribution of aid. My personal feeling is that we should have flooded Garza with aid from the very beginning. That was a mistake, too. That was a mistake. Keen, I'm pointing out all these mistakes, but we sound like Monday morning quarterbacks here. But from the beginning I talked about the need to give aid because there was a misunderstanding or a misconception in this country that by withholding aid you put pressure on Hamas. The fact that Hamas actually wants Palestinians to starve, so by withholding aid you were actually serving Hamas and increasing international pressure on Israel. The main idea, the only goal was to give time and space for the IDF to act, and you did that by removing other issues that would have blocked that time and space. I want to say one last thing about this picture that you kept on showing, and that is I'm sure in the international press they're going to say that these people on the beach are looking for food. Yeah, that's not what the picture suggests, but yeah. It doesn't matter, they're all swimming out to get aid, they've been dropped in the ocean, and I'm certain of it. Yeah, well, I wouldn't be surprised if I had to say it, Benjamin. Yeah, just Ambassador Oren used the phrase Monday morning quarterback, I was with him in the United States prior to October 7th, and I witnessed him say that a war is kamik. He didn't define exactly what and in what sense, but I'm not wrong, am I? I remember you saying that. I'm adding a book to the Bible in my prophecies, yes, now I had been... It's very certain that war was coming before this because of United States brokering a peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia that had a nuclear component, and I said simply that Iran would not sit quietly and let Saudi Arabia get nuclear power. It's not going to happen, it's interesting, even now they keep on talking about doing it again and assuming that somehow Iran was going to sit quietly, they're not. Even with that politely, I strongly disagree with the idea of flooding the Gaza Strip with aid. I think that it gives Hamas the opportunity to act as though it is taking care of the welfare of Gazans, and I think that it was an error. It was an error to... I think to flood it with aid is an error, and if there is to be a humanitarian gesture, let it be reciprocated by the humanitarian gesture of giving as our hostages. The error was not in flooding, the error was not taking responsibility for the distribution. Opening the errors crossing... No, for distribution. We gave the distribution over to the UN and others, and Hamas took it from the UN and others, but we had to be in charge of distribution. I mean, it has been a huge advantage for Hamas to be able to use that against Israel. It's been a huge advantage for Hamas, but I would again say, and Ambassador Oren is among the most skilled statesmen that the State of Israel has. By the way, I'd like to see him before a minister right now. I'd like to see him before a minister yesterday. But... We paid for this, Eric. No, no, no, but with that having been said, I think that the presence of the aid had to have been conditioned on the release of the hostages. It's very straightforward in my mind. Flooding them with aid, I don't think it's necessary. Avoiding famine is necessary. It's something that we've done, but I do think that it needed to be conditioned on our people coming home. All right, thank you. Okay, well, Iran is a major manufacturer of drones. It supplies Hezbollah in Lebanon. It supplies the Houthis in Yemen. And Russia, of course, in its war on Ukraine. Oh, my rabbi, and Alex Schloss explained now what are the capabilities of Iran's drones and how much of a threat do they pose to the global order? Over 300 drones flooded the skies of the Middle East on their way from Iran towards Israel, en lo que es considerado el gran ataque de drones en la historia. El ataque consolidado en la posición de Iran es un gran jugador en el mundo de drones, como todos esos lanzados fueron producidos por Irán en Irán, sino que relying en los componentes de occidente. El ataque principalmente relied en dos tipos de drones. El mojajer, un drone reconociado que puede llevar equipamiento de surveillaje, también como payloads explosivos, y es capaz de permanecer aéreo por 24 horas. El otro drone es el ahora infamous Shahid Drone, un drone suicidado que fue usado extensivamente por Rusia en su campaña en Ukraine. Su gran tamaño es más difícil de detectar con radar, pero se mantiene fácil de intersept porque de su velocidad suave y de alta altitud. Las sanctions internacionales han preventado Irán de obtener armas de alta alta. Pero, en vez de bloquear Irán de obtener capacidades de drones, se ha forzado a Irán para desplazar las armas locales locales. Pero para obtener las partes necesarias para sus drones, Irán relies en componentes de Asia y las empresas fronteras que legalmente obtenen partes de Europa y los Estados Unidos. Es estimado que Irán posee a tensos de mil millones de drones, que se atreven en bunkers subterráneos, haciendo la misma tamaño de su fleet difícil de determinar y, más importante, difícil de destruir. Así que, mientras Irán permanece un gran drone perliferador, sus proxies durante el Middle East continuará a ser bien supply. Israel también produce drones y ha justo abierto una planta de drones en los sistemas de Aerial Bluebird. Es parte de las industrias de Aerospace Israel. El Muroco y Israel están establecidos en los tiempos de la Corte de Abraham en 2020. Para más de eso, podemos ir a Rabat. Se reunimos con Dr. Marmadjistatul, un analista político y profesor de la universidad de Rabat. ¡Gracias por verlo, profesor! Gracias por estar con nosotros. ¿Es este signo, que, despite la bastante fuerte anti-Israelí sentimos que hemos visto, entre algunas personas en el Muroco, la cooperación de la defensa continúa en paz? La alianza es aún más larga y es muy fuerte, como usual, como en los últimos dos años. Y la opening de este factor de drones es muy importante. Se nota que ambos países están intentando hacer drones en el Muroco para sellar en otros países en África. Es tan importante que muchos países africanos se realizan la importancia de drones en combatir insurgencias y en combatir islamistas y en combatir una especie de brigandaria en sus países. Así que hay un futuro para estos drones en el continente africano. ¿Es Muroco interesado en la tecnología de defensa? Sí, vimos un display extremadamente impresionante de la defensa aérea aquí en Israel por el fin de la semana, por supuesto. Sí, por supuesto, Muroco es muy interesado. Por eso hay esta cooperación, que es una cooperación de vinguy para ambos Israel y Muroco. Y creo que va a continuar crescendo en el futuro. Después de esta guerra en el Muroco, creo que las cosas van a una nota más alta y la cooperación va a producir más armada, usar más de la tecnología de Israel para usar en Muroco y para también sellar en otros países en la región. ¿Y cómo es el gobierno manejándose de balance esta cooperación de defensa con un fuerte sentimiento anti-Israelí en Muroco? Bueno, se está haciendo muy bien. Se está haciendo muy bien. Y creo que la cooperación con Israel ha estado pasando por dos años ahora y ha sido extremadamente fruitful para ambos países y seguirá. Obviamente, no creo que el público diga que nada es malo con eso. Al contrario, el público probablemente está con esta idea de hacer drones, hacer tecnología, armada en Muroco. ¿Y cómo es el prospecto, el prospecto muy alamiado de una guerra entre Irán y Israel que se ha convertido en Muroco? Bueno, creo que, como el resto de la mundo, se ha estado en las noticias, pero no creo que hay mucha reacción de la población, como lo sé por el momento, porque esta guerra está pasando demasiado lejos y todos piensan que probablemente estamos en el desplazamiento de una guerra regional y que no debería ser una buena cosa para el Middle East y para la paz entre los árabes y los palestinianos y los israelíos. ¿Cómo se ve el Irán en Muroco? ¿Se ve el Irán como un campeón de los palestinianos? ¿O se ve como un enemigo de los árabes? ¿Cómo se ve ahí? Como sabes, los Sunnis son todos contra Irán y la gente ve que Irán es un problema en la región porque está detrás de muchas grupos, muchas proxias, Hezbollah y otras proxias en la región, así que no creo que las personas vean como una amiga positiva. Profesor Shattu, siempre muy buenas tardes, muchas gracias. Bienvenido. Voy a encontrar un idioma de la ambassador o de la anchista en el estudio. Esa es la pregunta muy interesante de Muroco. Lo que pasó la última noche, entre otras cosas, fue una muy buena advertencia para la tecnología israelíos y la salida de esa tecnología. Estamos hablando de la Arro2 y Arro3, y David Slings, el misil de nivel intermedio, que son los proyectos de los proyectos israelíos, Iron Dome, que es un proyecto israelí, con el backing americano, pero aquí tienes el sistema multi-layered, combat-tested, el sistema anti-missil, y hay muchos clientes que van a comprar esto. Y así, ok, hemos dotado ese boleto, pero en términos de ganar financiero, la última noche fue un bonanza. Si conectas los dotes globalmente a Benjamin, tienes Irán vendiendo drones a Rusia, aquí son los europeos lecturando Israel sobre cómo deberían responder a Irán, y ellos podrían bien tener sus propiedades con Vladimir Putin. Sí, me gustaría hablar de algunos positivos aspectos de lo que está pasando. Recuerdo que en Tel Aviv, en 1991, escuché el nombre de Patriot, que dependíamos de los americanos por un sistema muy, muy, muy incerten de defensa contra los scads de Irak. Qué gran avanzamiento hemos hecho desde entonces. También la Alianza de los Acordes de Abram ha llevado a cabo. Pensé que estaría estresado por una guerra protractiva en el Gaza Strip, pero no ha sido el caso. Pero solo va a llevar a cabo para que la fuerza projera. Y la más potente nuestra respuesta a Irán es la más decisiva de nuestra respuesta a Irán, la más fuerte de las alianzas permanecerá, la más durada que proveerá, y la más probable es que ellos puedan ser expandidos. Así que espero ver todos esos cosas que ocurren. Sí, hay una oportunidad de guerra. Sí, hay una oportunidad de guerra. Israel ha tenido que ser fuerte en la ciudad, y ha sido muy compasiva en el Oeste. Y eso es muy difícil, ¿no es? Pero los países de la Alianza de los Acordes de Abram y otros países de la Miliza tienen los estrés existentes en la forma de el extremismo de Sunni, el extremismo de Shiite, hay un país que está subiendo a ambos de ellos. Este es el estado de Israel. Y esto es por eso que tenemos que revelar. Nos ganamos la guerra y llegamos a la paz. Bien, Benjamin. Sí, lo concluyendo. Estamos en la línea frontal de ese combate, ese combate de civilizaciones. El único problema es los poderes de la Oeste. No creo que lo reconozca. Bien, Benjamin Antoni, ambasitora. Gracias por haber venido. Gracias. Bueno, mirando a la región, al menos 18 personas han muerto en Oman, en Dubá, mientras se ha podido cerrar el aeropuerto, después de la armonía grave y flotando en el estado de Golf, el Dixie Arvind tiene este reporte. Los pasajeros permanecen en el aeropuerto de Dubá como planes que se han cancelado o se arrasan debido a el aire severo. La armonía grave está batiendo en el estado de Golf. La armonía se ha ongo por los últimos días y causan flotantes en países como Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Afganistán y Pakistán. El aire ha sido tan severo que la ministra de salud de Oman reportó que el destino ha aumentado a 18 personas debido a flotantes. Algunos países son incluso recordando un año y medio en el aire en un día. En Dubá, por ejemplo, obteniendo 5 metros de armonía en la tienda, el nivel que normalmente se cae en el curso de un año entero. Los científicos linkan este aire para el cambio climático como el planeta se hace más caliente. Las regiones arrasadas ahora se enfrentan más grande y más desastrosos arrenes y flotantes. También han habido flotantes en 23 provincias en Afganistán, asesinando 66 personas. Más de 63,000 aca de tierra han sido afectadas y aproximadamente 1,200 familias han sido afectadas debido a este aire. A partir de 200 aca de la agricultura de las personas en esta ciudad han sido destruidas por el flotante. Las tropas están casi listas para arrasar, pero el flotante se destruye todo. Los países sábados han sido subjectos a cambios climáticos impregnables, incluyendo luces extremos y flotantes cataclósmicos, y han continuado a ver las condiciones más severas. Bueno, vamos a Dubá para la más reciente correspondiente, Bastián Bori. Se presenta ahora. Bastián, unas imágenes muy chocas que se presentan en la UAE hoy. ¿Qué está pasando? Bueno, el rizco que estoy hablando de tu en mi habitación es que las ruedas a la ciudad son impregnables. Hemos visto esas imágenes de flotantes, sofas y planes rotando por 3 metros de agua. Las regiones más afectadas en la UAE han hecho 200 milímetros de río en solo 12 horas, mientras que, en general, el país tiene 100 milímetros en un año. Y, sí, a más de los países afectados, como hemos escuchado, el hombre de la inmigración murió, 18 personas murieron en un hombre, principalmente los niños de la escuela. Hacían imágenes de incendios, especialmente en Dubá, para las ruedas colapsas, los sellados flotantes, los cortes de poder. Y parece que el más grande, no sé si es interesante o no, pero el más grande daño fue a más de las casas recientes, las villas que no son equipadas con sistemas de agua. Los reales de los Estados Unidos se desplazan en este tipo de equipamiento innecesario, y lo llevan a los nuevos ownershipos para decidir si o no para hacer más trabajo. Y, aún así, muchos residentes decidieron no hacer eso, y aquí es el resultado. Bueno, sí, se puede reasparar, se puede hacer. Hay algunos reportes, Bastián, que esto es el fallo de la silla de la clau. Esto es algo que la UAE hace, una tecnología muy sofisticada para intentar inundar el rainfall en una parte muy rara del mundo. ¿Es eso verdad? Este país recibe un poco de rainfall naturalmente cada año, pero es verdad que también hay algo que se llama rainfall enhancement. Es una técnica, como dices, que fue desarrollada en los 90s, en la UAE, en colaboración con NASA, y la idea es bastante simple. Es una forma de extrasar más rainfall de una clau. Entonces, cuando el rainfall empieza a caer, planes y drones desplazan, flanen a la clau, y desplazan una mezcla de particles de sol y de electricidad, que literalmente crea el rainfall, o crea el fenómeno, si es already happening. Y eso es lo que sucedió ayer. Hay casi 200 de estas misiones clau por año en la UAE, y el daño en el grano causado por estos arreglados, es decir, de esa manera, no siempre son cubiertos por las empresas de insurrencia. Policializadores deben asegurar de añadir las clau cuando signen su contrato. Hemos escuchado sobre el desplazamiento en este lugar del mundo. No hay rango, no hay agua. ¿Es esto solo un investimiento en los eventos extremos que vemos en el mundo? Es verdad. En la Middle East, especialmente esta parte de la Middle East, en el golfo, es uno de los más vulnerables regiones para el cambio climático porque de agua, carcidad, y también más rápido, y la temperatura análara aumenta. Y en el grano, 550 litros por día, la UAE, la UNIDA, por una persona, la agua y la conservación están bien debajo del mundo. Creo que es de 200 litros del mundo. Así que, este país se convierte en un aumento de agua estresada en el futuro, como las temperaturas continuan a crecer durante el 21 de diciembre. Entonces, la UAE tiene, en el Salí, Rebia, Bahrain, y Noman, todos estos países tienen que considerar nuevas formas de asegurar las fuerzas que no causar arrojamiento ambiental para los golfos, por supuesto. Y antes de ir, para hablar un poco más sobre donde estás, Dubai es una de las más avanzadas ciudades en el mundo. ¿Qué es el consejo oficial? ¿Qué te están diciendo? Como te dije, las puertas en el estudio están cerradas, es imposible que se conduzca ahora mismo. Es una alerta roja, hoy y mañana. Las personas están adiastadas a estar en casa, por supuesto. Y algunas personas son menos suficientes, y en las ciudades más populares, la infraestructura está en mucha calidad de la guerra, así que la guerra está en sus apartments, y tienen que remover todo esto. Es una situación muy difícil en las ciudades de Dubai. Sí, va a ser un gran salto. Gracias, no han perdido las vidas, pero vamos a seguir a la próxima. Gracias mucho. Lo mejor... Pues, hasta el final de esta show, muchas gracias por verlo, estamos aquí con la 24 a la zona de guerra, la reacción de los países hispanoparlantes, el único medio en español que mantiene informado y conectado con la comunidad latina en Israel, News 24, únicamente en I-24 News. Los 14 soldados y los 4 civilianos, 6 de ellos, seriamente percibidos. El bolero dice que el ataque fue una respuesta a Israel's suceso en matar 3 de sus operadores ayer en Lebanon, incluyendo uno de sus líderes de campo. Israel respondió con varias aterraciones durante el día, arreglando la infraestructura militar de Israel. Aunque Arabel aramchaló dos kilómetros al norte de la bordera de Alemania, los Air Sirens reportadamente no se activó durante el ataque, el IDF dice que es investigado. En el estudio, tenemos el embajador Daniel Schach, director de la diplomacia de la Hacigen Missing Families, el formador de la embajadora de Francia, el general de reservas Aitan Dango, el secretario militar de Fuelo, 3 ministros de defensa, el líder de Cogat, y Lieutenant Colonel de la reserva Jonathan Conriquez, formador de la persona internacional para el IDF. Ahora vemos un amigo en la fundación para la defensa de las democracias. Jonathan, no hay defensa, es hermético, especialmente tan cerca de la bordera, pero es algo como esto que debería suceder, un dron que está pasando y que está quedando en un lugar donde los soldados estuvieron viajando o incluso estando? No, no es lo que debería suceder y ha sido arreglado muchas, muchas veces en el pasado durante estos 6 meses. Estos son los tipos de armas que Riz Balá utiliza extensivamente para atacar targetas en una distancia relativamente cerca de la bordera. Ellos son más rápido, son más pequeños, estos drones. Ellos tienen un pequeño siluete radio, un siluete radio más difícil de interceptar y verlos. Eso es probablemente la razón por el que no fueron detectados y que no hay alarma, pero yo específicamente sé de otros drones, solo como estos que han sido capturados por el IDF en el pasado. El IDF debería investigar por qué esta persona específicamente fue capaz de descender por esta estructura y causar el resultado que hemos visto. Pero todo en todo, creo que lo que vemos en la bordera norte, Israel, con un gran suceso tactical, Riz Balá respondió a eso, y el IDF, again, rechazó el bar y respondió a la respuesta de Riz Balá. Todo en todo, más actividad, más fuego, más atención en la bordera norte. Más actividad, más fuego, más atención, Eitan. ¿Es esto, de cualquier manera, es sólo la respuesta del IDF, tomando a tres comandos ayer? ¿Es relacionada con lo que está pasando con Iran ahora mismo? Porque hemos visto un optico, incluso antes de hoy, creo que hemos visto un optico en Iran, en Hezbollah, actividad y fuego en la bordera norte. Creo que hay que separar y luego ver la foto juntos entre Riz Balá y Irán. Separamente, Riz Balá está reactivando contra lo que se ha pasado en las últimas 48 horas. Tres veces, el IDF sucede a kil o a target. Dos de estos targetos fueron uno de los principales, digamos, comandos que tienen mucho conocimiento, responsabilidad, y, realmente, es difícil cumplir su lugar en el tiempo médico. Y creo que se juntó con el número de 30 comandos, o Riz Balá, y los seniores, en el nivel operativo que estamos targetando. En el otro lado, el IDF, con respecto a lo que pasó hoy, como fue dicho, tiene que investigar. No podemos permitir a nosotros que haya eventos que estarán en la bordera, en el post. Y si me preguntas, vamos a escalación entre IDF y Hezbollah. En mi opinión, después de lo que pasó con Irán, probablemente Hezbollah tenga una línea verde para expandir sus actividades. No para expandirlos a la altura, pero en el área geográfico que está funcionando hoy, hay, digamos, una tendencia que sea aumentada. Vamos a ver qué es la reacción de IDF en la altura. En el otro lado, Irán, con respecto a la reacción de Israel contra Irán, está en un marco de preguntas. Y parece que tenemos que... Eitan, voy a poner eso fuera, porque vamos a hablar de eso y hablar de eso más. Así que, en mi opinión, tenemos un nivel de escalación entre Israel y Hezbollah en el comienzo. Vamos a ver qué corresponde a Nicole Sadek, que está ahí afuera, la ciudad de Arabar al Arashma, que es una zona de peligro de lo que escuchamos, Nicole. Dime lo que estás viendo y escuchando ahí. Sí, bueno, en realidad... Ok, parece que hemos perdido el fin ahí. Ok, vamos a reconnectar con Nicole. No sé qué ha pasado ahí. Daniel, quiero preguntarte, porque la escalación con Hezbollah va a también involucrarse en consideraciones diplomáticas. La U.S., desde el principio, incluso mientras apoyar a Israel y Gaza, ha sido, en un sentido, intentando retrasar o descansar el conflicto con Hezbollah en este momento, ¿cuánto va a tener que jugar en las decisiones de Israel para hacer el responso aquí? Bueno, claramente, estás bien sobre el U.S., pero no solo el U.S. Es una coalición que resumye el que formó a Israel la última noche de saturday con el ataque iraniano. Es también el francés que está muy involucrado en Lebanon y que no quiere ver a Lebanon ser dragado a una guerra de todo el mundo. Y generalmente, los poderes europeos y los poderes occidentales que simplemente están intentando contener lo mejor que pueden, la situación en Lebanon. Así que, solo una palabra, o sea, has tried to dissect this into, is this attack a response to that attack and is that attack caused by the previous attack? There's a war going on there for the last six months, so I'm not sure that there's a point in trying to understand each of these attacks, what they mean and why they happen. They happen every day, unfortunately sometimes they are more devastating than others. All right, our correspondent on the court said it was told to relocate by the IDF because that is a danger zone and I hope at some point in the broadcast we will be able to reconnect with her as she's out there. Now, as we've discussed, this is all connected to the situation with Iran. Of course, Hisbola acting, one could almost say as a proxy on the behest of Iran. Now, the foreign secretary of the United Kingdom and the foreign minister of Germany arrived in Israel today for a solidary solidarity visit this following the weekend's attack by Iran. In separate meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, they voiced hope that Israel's expected retaliation against Iran would be limited. Meanwhile, in Tehran, Iranian President Raisi is threatening Israel with a harsh response to any further attack. Middle East correspondent Ariel Osseron has more. As it braces for Israel's expected retaliation to its massive attack over the weekend, Iran's President Ibrahim Raisi used an army parade to threaten Israel against any retaliation. If the Zionist regime makes the slightest move to violate our territory and harm the national interests of the Islamic Republic, they must understand they will face a severe and heavy response. The annual parade was diverted from its traditional route and, unusually, was not broadcast live on state TV. Authorities gave no explanation for the move, which may have been to avoid becoming a target. The plan of action for true promise was a limited operation. It was not a comprehensive and extensive plan. Had it the retaliation against Israel been a much larger action, then the supports of the Zionist regime would have seen that nothing would have remained of the Zionist regime. Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, the German and British foreign ministers urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to limit Israel's response to Iran. Netanyahu says Israel will respond in a way que sea fit. Es right to be here in Israel today to show solidarity after that appalling attack by Iran. We made clear our views yesterday about what should happen next. But we also said Israel is an independent sovereign country and gets to make these choices. I thank our nation's friends for their support in the defense of the state of Israel, both in supporting us in words and also with an active support. They also have all kinds of suggestions and advice. I appreciate that. But I wish to make one thing clear. We will make our decisions ourselves and the state of Israel will do everything necessary to defend itself. While Saturday's drone and missile attack largely failed, Israeli intelligence also failed to foresee the massive nature of it. And from the pressure from its allies to the unpredictability of Iran's response, Israel has many things to consider as it chooses how to respond. Jonathan, es, basically, Israel, in a sense, has said it's going to respond in a way. But again, expectations being raised. How is Israel, what is most likely the most likely response going to be as Israel is the prime minister in some ways boxed himself into a corner? I see it differently. I see it as Israel, of course, has to respond to an attack of this magnitude and severity. The fact that it failed doesn't mean that we don't have to respond to it. I think in the rules of the Middle East and in any war, if you're attacked, you have to respond. I think Israel has an opportunity here and what Israel probably is doing now is leveraging the fear amongst European and other countries in order to make good diplomatic advances when it comes to either sanctions, designations or otherwise advancing Israeli strategies against Iran. Against its nuclear program. Against its nuclear program, against the Quds Force, against the RGC in general. There's a multitude of things that are wrong with Iran that need to be fixed and you mentioned three of them and I think that what Israel is doing now quite wisely is not attacking immediately, letting the Iranians wait and prepare and anticipate for an attack. But in the meantime advancing diplomatic needs of the state of Israel, which is very good, eventually Israel will retaliate, but I think that we also have to factor in the whole situation in Rafah and our hostages that maybe Israel will want to translate the achievements that we did in successfully defending, together with our allies, successfully defending during Saturday and to translate that currency into new action in Gaza in order to advance those of the war there. It might go either way, it might go first Iran and then Gaza. My assessment is that I think we will first focus on the closest part, which is Gaza and then move on. Well, let me ask a veteran diplomat how far can Israel diplomatically leverage that? Kind of, for example, use that currency to proceed in Rafah, which we know these same countries don't want to see happen. You want the short answer? No. I mean, it doesn't mean that Israel won't make a move in Rafah, but will it make a move with the support of those who all along were against it? I don't see that happening. I don't think that is possible. On the other hand, what was just said about leveraging this situation for sanctions against Iran, that I think is definitely something that is on the cards and that should be tried. I don't know if you can have it both ways. If you can make these diplomatic advances and then decide that you retaliate militarily without losing ground on the other side. I honestly don't know. I guess it would depend on what kind of military action is involved. But I do want to go back. We have our Nicole Sedeck there, who has shifted locations. Nicole, just bring us up today what's happening there and what's happening to you there as well. It's really a very dangerous location that we're in Kaleb, and that's why they added it's telling us to to move a little bit this location right here and I'm say it's right on the border with Lebanon, maybe two kilometers away. So certainly one of the areas that had been evacuated, but as of last week, the residents themselves, many of them decided to come back here. So it's been interesting as we're driving through what should be deserted streets, and we saw today 18 people injured in both different missile and drone launches from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. They're being treated at the hospital in various condition. The IDF saying that 14 of them were soldiers, six of them in serious condition in the Galilee Medical Center saying one person also being treated in critical condition. So the other identity of those four others that are not soldiers according to the IDF, their identity is still unknown, but this did hit a community center in this village. And so this certainly shows that even if the IDF was inside the building, this is a civilian infrastructure as well. But what is for the most part so interesting is was we're going around still seeing kids riding their bicycles people outside on their balconies. And really I think this is the first sign of life in this village for the past six months with them coming back just about a week, maybe two weeks ago, many of them. And so even given the daily impact, when you can see Lebanon when the sun is still up right through over over the hills here. And so still with that many of the residents here in the north say it's not enough to deter them because with no ending site for when they might be able to safely return home, many of them are saying we want to be home now and that's certainly what it seems to be we are seeing here. Right and I just want to check how is a concern of a with those civilians there and we've seen this a lot of these there. The residents either wanting to come back or staying there. How much concern is that there could be another attack on that community? Certainly quite a bit of concern, especially considering the idea of retaliation. These reports coming out of Lebanon that the idea of is striking deep inside Lebanon and the back region. This is not right on the border with southern Lebanon as we do see these daily cross border attacks. We're just further, which could indicate a more of a stronger retaliation following the dangerous incident that we did see today. And so as we were just pushed away from the military from the civilian center that we were standing in front of, they said this is not an area that anyone should be in. They said it's very dangerous for us to be here and that's why they were urging us to leave the area because with the ongoing activity, it should always be as we continue to see different border and red alert surrounding all along the Lebanon border as we continue to see really every day Kalev. Alright, Nicole Tzedek there at Arabella. I'm sure the scene of today's attack. And please Nicole, you and the other correspondence from our sister Arab and French channel. Stay close to shelter and take cover as need be. Thank you so much, Nicole. Alright, that was reporting today's another argument now that is being used to try and dissuade Israel from carrying out a military response to Iran's attack. And that is the opportunity generated to create a joint Middle East alliance against Iran with some of the Arab countries that aided in the downing of Israel's aerial arsenal. Whether those countries admitted publicly or not. Could Israel leverage this moment to push for an alliance against Iran to be derailed if the conflict escalates in the coming days or Robert Swift takes a closer look. Several factors came together to blunt Iran's unprecedented attack against Israel earlier this week. Israeli intelligence and military innovation, advanced western weapons technology and the combined power of cooperative action. Thanks to unprecedented cooperation in coalition led by the United States, Britain, France and other countries, which is in itself a great strategic achievement in the Middle East. The Iranian attack was thwarted. I think that considering this, the possibilities available to Israel are wider. U.S.-led coordination allowed for intelligence and radar data sharing and freedom of operation in different airspaces including with several Gulf Arab states that passed on time sensitive information enabling the defense. The success of this strategy and the possibilities it could yield to Israel going forward may explain Jerusalem's delay in responding to the strikes. We have an opportunity to establish a strategic alliance against the grave threat from Iran. Built by its advocates as a NATO-like pact in the Middle East, a partnership between Israel and Gulf Arab states could be the next step on the path set out by the Abraham Accords. But while states such as the UAE and even Saudi Arabia may be warming their ties with Israel, they are doing the same with Iran walking a balancing act. Their actions could be seen as intended to reduce the risk of war in the Middle East rather than to support Israel. Nonetheless, diplomatic options are available to Jerusalem if it can play its cards right. Eitan, this was one of the strategic goals of Israel before October 7 to see an alliance some call it an Arab NATO against Iran where Israel could at the very least be sort of a silent partner. Should that be taken into consideration when weighing how to respond to Iran? I think we have to see very clearly that this kind of block of allies cooperation coordination is for defensive activities. I don't see now any chance to see this kind of coalition going for the offensive attack. If we are going to respond in targeting or making something of attack inside Iran I don't think that Arab moderate countries will take a part. You see that there is a very close different and you have to keep the achievements by achieving this kind of block of moderate Arab countries with western countries together under the United States roof together in order to cooperate and they work on it for a long time and it's running for the policy to the way of operational activities but the Israeli choice now to go to the area of political achievements like the G7 meetings with sanctions or to respond in a low level under the radar by having some statements that we have the time we have to react I support it but the timing of reaction should be chosen in my opinion in a very smart way or the third one to make a very clear offensive attack on Iran to teach that the Israeli aircraft should come there and I am convinced without it that we can be there in my opinion from these three cases looking for the south and I may say that my combination is to see the release of the hostages as the main issue we have to centralize on it second issue, Hezbollah, Iran should know we have open space to air to own reaction I think there's a kind of a consensus here I don't think it's mutually exclusive to retaliate against Iran and to build a coalition these things can support each other I agree that the Arab countries may not necessarily want to participate but I don't think that it's exclusive right, it's just a matter of timing on it gentlemen I want to move on briefly actually to New York because UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency which is the main organization in Gaza has been under fire since revelations that some of its employees have colluded with Hamas either in carrying out or maybe covering up terrorist activities several donor nations including the US have suspended their funding of UNRWA and in response to UN Secretary General has ordered an investigation although its critics have questioned whether it's a UN-led probe UNRWA is the subject of a Security Council briefing today with more, let's go to our correspondent Mike Wagenheim, our senior US correspondent who is at the UN headquarters Mike, tell us about this situation with UNRWA and how it's developing there's actually two parallel investigations ongoing right now dealing with UNRWA Calev-1 is an internal investigation linked to allegations that 12 UNRWA staff participated in the October 7th massacre, there's also a separate broader investigation that was actually called for by the UNRWA Commissioner General Philip Lazzarini to take a look at risk management in hiring and neutrality issues within UNRWA and that's being run by a separate review group led by the former French Foreign Minister Catherine Calana that review group will issue its final report coming up on Saturday critics say it will simply be a whitewash based on the institutions that are part of that review group and their prior comments on UNRWA but the UN as a whole says that the review group has the credibility needed to point out any potential problems with UNRWA's neutrality in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict this particular Security Council meeting this afternoon, Philip Lazzarini the Commissioner General will be here in person to brief the council it will largely have to deal I believe with financial issues UNRWA is at a crossroads right now they've been struggling financially for years obviously because the population of the Palestinians keeps going up that means more money needs to be outlaid for services meanwhile donations keep going down and in the aftermath of October 7 in the allegations that staff participated in the massacre as you mentioned many countries cut out or at least suspended their donations some have since resumed them although the United States the biggest donor country will not resume funding until at least March of next year per a congressional bill that was signed by President Joe Biden a few weeks ago so it's unclear where the money will come from here to sustain services for UNRWA and obviously that is a point of great concern the paramount concern it seems for Philip Lazzarini I think another point he'll make is pointing out what he believes or what he's accused Israel of doing in obstructing humanitarian aid going into Gaza he's been screaming from the rooftops there about what he feels Israel's a purposeful starving essentially there are thousands there since October 7 and the counter offensive launched by the Israeli military obviously Israel has disputed those allegations Lazzarini though I'm sure will bring his own facts and figures to the security council meeting today to try to push the council to push Israel more to get more aid flowing and scale up the aid going into Gaza here in the coming days very briefly Mike a vote on Palestinian statehood or no a admission of Palestine as a nation state the security council this week it will come to the council there's a committee on new memberships that looked at the old Palestinian membership application from 2011 the committee unsurprisingly could not reach consensus over whether they should recommend a vote however Algeria the de facto representative on the security council to the Palestinians in the larger Arab world put forth their own resolution to bring the Palestinian application for full membership to a vote it was originally scheduled for tomorrow it was regularly scheduled Israeli Palestinian security council meeting that's held each month it was then pushed off to Friday now it might be back on Thursday either way we'll have a vote this week and either way I guarantee you the US will veto it for sure Mike Wagenheim there in UN headquarters in New York thank you for that gentlemen please stay with us we'll focus a little more on Gaza but we are going out de la frontera another boy welcome back to this special broadcast at 24 news day 194 of Israel at war survivors of the horrific massacre at the Nova festival on October 7 where hundreds of people were killed and many more left severely traumatized and now blaming the government for leaving them behind and not offering enough support our senior correspondent Bianca Zanini has more in this report which we warn you does contain some difficult images and testimony they tried desperately to escape all these cars left at the side of the road tell the story of those who didn't succeed 364 people were killed and thousands raped, mutilated and traumatized at the Nova music festival in Israel by hundreds of armed Hamas terrorists who burst through the border with the Gaza Strip on October 7 and massacred everyone in sight in one day brutally killed 1200 people and took over 240 hostages for those who survived life will never be the same and some are criticizing the government for not offering enough support to help deal with the trauma I was covered by bodies over every part of my body I hid under one specific body every time the terrorists came the body punctured and bled on me from everywhere I lifted its head and put its cheek over mine and this is how I protected my body so if a bullet hit me it wouldn't hit my head the terrorists didn't stop coming I called the police non stop and the answer I got was a police car is on its way I got this answer for the duration of 6 hours I was hiding for a total of 8 hours the last 2 hours I gave up and didn't call anyone and indeed cars did come by but unfortunately they were terrorist cars who came to shoot at us again and again does anyone have any doubt that I'm going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life we need treatment now and not to go back to work a month after it happened there is no me I have anxiety flashbacks I'm waking up at night I experience this event again and again The survivors blaming the government for its failure on October 7 and every day since then I think that the government is confused it's been very confused for several months now it needs to get a grip and understand that it is not just the survivors and their parents it is siblings, uncles, cousins grandfathers, grandmothers friends who cannot function at the parliamentary committee hearing one survivor said nearly 50 people who survived the festival have since died by suicide this number was true 2 months ago it could be much higher now and there are many more who have been forcibly hospitalized I have lots of friends who don't get out of bed I can still barely go outside the Israeli health ministry denies this claim and says the number is not known by the medical system and unfortunately even worse worse off than the Nova survivors or the 133 hostages still being held in Gaza negotiations to obtain their freedom and return for temporary ceasefire and some other conditions seem to be at a standstill with Hamas reportedly standing firm on its condition of a completed permanent withdrawal of IDF forces from Gaza Qatar has been a key player as a mediator with some saying more western pressure should be put on the Gulf state that plays host to Hamas' political leadership here's what Qatar's prime minister had to say today on the hostage negotiations unfortunately the negotiations are between moving forward and stumbling at this stage we are going through a sensitive phase with some stumbling we are trying as much as possible to address and solve the stumbling to move forward and to put an end to the suffering of the people of Gaza and to ensure the release of the hostages at the same time for more let's go to a correspondent Balear Sledin who is at the hostage square in Tel Aviv and Balear the Qatari PM saying the talks are stumbling and not even clear if they are even making that much movement and as we move into the Jewish holiday of Pesach the holiday of freedom it looks like it's going to be a grim difficult holiday for those families unfortunately that's the situation and also the development from a few minutes ago the Qatari PM is adding and he's saying there are politicians using Qatar for their own political interest we will decide whether we will continue our role in the negotiations so as we see it the Qataris are now reconsidering the rule as a mediator between Israel and Hamas maybe that's after the Hamas latest response the decline of the American proposal in the last couple of days and now we are seeing another development the CIA director William Burns a couple of days ago asked his Turkish counterpart to take part in the negotiations apparently the Americas now wants the Turks actually to get end and that's because of the efforts by the Qataris and the Egyptians that were not successful to say the least and that's happening while the Turkish foreign minister Hakam Fidan today met with Ismail Hani the Hamas en Doha maybe that's a one meeting before the meeting of Erdogan with Hani Ankara in the coming days according to some reports so apparently these developments we can understand that they indicate that there will be a change in the mediators and maybe we will see Turkish pressure now on Hamas of course that's not the best that Israel can hope for Turkey and Israel are not getting along lately especially after the October 7th attack and the statements by Erdogan that we've heard over again him calling the prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu describing him as a modern day Hitler that's of course something that is not acceptable by the Israelis and this is happening where an Arab source told ABC News that the talks about the hostages and that's due to the focus right now on the escalation with Iran the escalation in the Middle East that's of course very sad news for the families here that are telling me that the government now needs to take a different path because they are criticizing right now the latest development in Gaza they are saying that the aid the increase of aid as we can see in Gaza is making it putting pressure on the Hamas chief there Yahya Sinwar and he doesn't need to do anything now in order to actually get the aid in so why would he actually release the hostages that's what they are telling me here alright Poliar Sleddin thank you so much there at Hostage Square Daniel Shack you've been involved in the hostage issue closely working with the forum I just want to get your reaction to these developments what in a standstill is the situation of the hostages themselves the negotiations might be at a standstill or frozen or whatever you call it but the clock is ticking and it's ticking and it's ticking and the composition of the list of 133 might be changing as we speak in the proportion between live hostages and dead hostages and unfortunately that list changes only in one direction so I'm a bit at a loss what exactly should be done here and the thing is that the IDF and the government has kept saying that only military pressure will bring the Hamas leaders to change their minds where is that military pressure is there military pressure because we do it it is something of a confusing picture both of you, it and Jonathan we hear reports now of tank movements in northern Gaza which again that had been assumed as an area more or less the IDF had put a control that pulled out its ground troops now tanks moving in purports of Palestinians trying to make it back sending leaflets telling them no, not to do it even though that is a goal or a prerequisite for a Rafa operation so I'd like to get your assessment of just what's happening in Gaza right now I think that we have two alternatives very clear one, the meeting point between releasing the hostages and increasing the military activities again operational are not meeting and in this moment concerning the situation just was described about the situation of the hostages bringing us to a very critical moment you can stop now the fire you can make a deal of releasing the hostages and then you will see how the situation of the military activity will be developed the military activities and when I'm hearing all the time the name of Rafa Rafa is not a symbol for a victory Rafa is something that we need to complete the military structure of destroying the structure of Hamas with four battalions and making the line between the border Gaza and Egypt another kind of coordination or cooperation to prevent smuggling and now IDF is centralized in activities like Epen and Shippa hospital it means your identifying area that needs a treatment you are moving maneuvering a battalion or a brigade of a armor or with infantry together and I think there are signs that shows us that we are on a way towards Rafa what is going in the central area of Nusrat what is going in other area shows that we started activities towards Rafa Rafa is not the full victory that Bibi Netanyahu described so what is the option not for the IDF the IDF is making his mission in a very clear way the mission now on the war cabinet is to decide whether you are going to make now agreement for the hostages later on continue with your activities meanwhile by the way IDF and the Israeli government reduce the delegitimation concerning humanitarian aid I want to just read President Biden by the way though even though it's interesting he tweeted just I believe in the last hour in the 12 days following my call at prime minister now 3000 trucks with food and supplies moved into Gaza a daily increase of over 50% from the week prior it's still not enough we continue to urge you to ramp up all land and sea deliveries from Gaza civilians Jonathan this is the kind of buying the government is in because of the other as we heard this criticism also with all that aid pouring in there's less reducing pressure on your sin war so I think that sadly what many have been saying for a long period of time Hamas never wanted a second hostage deal they were buying time until Ramadan so that Israel wouldn't launch the offensive on Rafa they bought enough time by teasing dangling the hostages in front of us and now that time has passed and we still and I agree totally we are not applying military pressure on Hamas this isn't military pressure when the IDF wants to apply or is told to apply military pressure people feel it that is not what's happening in Gaza now and Israel is stuck in between providing humanitarian aid and trying to overcome the real challenge of humanitarian aid which is distribution inside the Gaza strip it's not the amount of trucks and for the president to quote the amount of trucks that's a huge misunderstanding of really the challenge the challenge isn't how many truckloads are brought in or dropped from the air is how are they delivered to those who need it and not taken by Hamas so where this leaves us is in a horrible reality regarding the hostages which in my mind leaves us with one option to go in and take them out by force wherever we can which we haven't really exposed so far and the second thing is that now it should be clear to everybody around the world and most importantly to US policy makers that Hamas never wanted a deal and that they've said no to the most lenient terms and the longest way that Israel could ever move forward since that is the reality what needs to happen now is for Israel to say ok then we move on ok I'll just note that if the US is bringing in Turkey as a mediator I'm not sure that reality does not appear to have actually arrived to the right or rightly wrong to the Biden administration but we'll have to see how that develops now among the many blows suffered by Israel since October 7 has been the one to the economy the war has crippled such key business sectors as construction and tourism and forced the government to dramatically increase its expenditures to both fund the military effort and care for the tens of thousands of Israelis to evacuate their homes Israel's central bureau of statistics has released figures now showing that the country's gross domestic product is key economic indicator dropped during the last three months of 2023 by a whopping 21% over the previous quarter that's this drop right at the very end of the chart there only comparable to that big drop during covid during the covid period by the way this was well more than was estimated now the forecast for this year a monetary fund yesterday isn't any more promising the IMF sees GDP growth in 2024 of 1.6% that's below the bank of Israel's prediction of 2% growth it's almost half of the IMF's last prediction of 3.1% now the figures even more pertinent this week amid talk that Israel's military effort may even have to expand in the coming months well for more let's speak with Avi Weiss he's president of the Taub Center professor of economics at Boryline University joining us from Petah Tikfa Avi it doesn't look good how bad are these numbers well they're certainly not good but they're not really that unexpected the bank of Israel of course has slightly different predictions than the IMF the bank of Israel is interestingly more optimistic for 2024 but less optimistic for 2025 the interesting thing is that is actually if you add up the expected growth in 2024 and 2025 together you get the same thing whether you're talking about the bank of Israel or the international monetary fund they both come out to about 6% because of the international monetary fund I'm sorry to about 7% international monetary fund has Israel growing at 1.6% this year and at 5.4% next year the bank of Israel has 2% this year and only 5% next year both they've had up to about 3.5% a year so that's a a good level of growth but isn't that predicated on a belief that this conflict will have been over by this year I mean I'm just going to point out for example we've heard reports I think in Israel economists serving with Israel or former one said Israel spent over a billion dollars just this weekend to defend itself and the government just today there's a kuma plan which is going to cost they say 19 billion shekels that's over 5 billion dollars just in the south nevermind what's happening in the north there's absolutely no question that the cost to Israel is very very large of this entire war the billion dollars that is stated by the finance ministry I think that it's about half that but independent of whether it's half that or whether it's a billion dollars a less than a one day period so there's no question that there are cost to the Israeli economy the question of growth is a different question than what you do with the money the growth is the value of what's being produced and that can continue to grow there was a big hit in 2023 because of that last quarter but that can continue to grow slower this year and then the assumption is that Israel will be able to make that up next year which is what happened with COVID also where Israel lost early on but later on they were able to make that up and actually did better than anybody had expected them to do well that's because there was a vaccine that was developed but people are asking if there is this conflict for example should become a regional conflict nevermind the military cost the human cost even economically if Israel can expand its conflicts now on other fronts even regionally against Iran given the impact that's having just the war in Gaza and what we're seeing in the limited region and the north is having well you know any estimates of what's going to happen are dependent on things not getting more worse than they are now in other words if the if it's a change in a full-fledged war or with Iran then all bets are off then the numbers are going to be much much worse than anything that you see right now in terms of cost, in terms of the effect on the economy, in terms of the unemployment everything is going to change very significantly if and when that happens but the Bank of Israel has actually been more optimistic than the World Bank and the S&P were if you actually take a look going back in December I believe we did it the top center that I'm part of together with the Aaron Institute put out a study in which we had estimated that the growth would be one and a half percent so it's very close to what the IMF said now but you've got to basically separate between two issues the issue of how much this is costing the Israeli economy and it's costing it a lot and the issue of growth which is a separate issue I mean it's connected but it's a separate issue because it deals with how fast is your economy growing and there Israel has shown a lot of resilience and the Bank of Israel actually thinks that since historically Israel has been very resilient after skirmishes, wars, battles whatever it is has really bounced back very quickly they sort of expect that to happen now also but again this is assuming it doesn't spread alright at any weight certainly this is going to be a costly chapter for Israel it's a question of how quickly the Israeli economy which has bounced back from other wars but this is turning out to be quite a long one and it doesn't seem right and doesn't seem to right now to be an end in sight Avi Weiss there of the Taub Center thank you for that General I just want to bring up a related issue here because President Biden writing in the Wall Street Journal today an editorial calling on Congress to pass these aid bills that are now in front of it for both Israel and Ukraine military aid I just mentioned these reports he said maybe it was only 500, half a billion dollars just for one weekend a lot of defense but the question is literally about whether Israel can afford Iran and whether it can do that and engage with Iran and potentially alienate the United States at a time when it's going to need that aid and how much that has to be a factor Daniel I'll let you start because from the diplomatic angle this has to be a source well I mean the answer is obvious I mean in its decisions there is a certain amount of flexibility that Israel must that the Israeli government must maintain and I believe that the Biden administration shouldn't will understand that I mean nobody no congressman so that's the other side of this that there is it has unfortunately become part of a political internal political game within the U.S. Congress you might attribute it also to the last few years where in a sense Israel has lost the solidity of the bipartisan support so I mean 15 years ago I don't think that aid to Israel would have been an issue that could be played where you can play one party against the other in the U.S. Congress simply wasn't an option so this is an unprecedented situation but having said all that I think that there are priorities for the Israeli government to think about and currently the support, the level of support that the Biden administration has shown Israel in the last six months is worth considering certain flexibilities it's not a matter of life or death we have about a minute but I just want to ask our military experts can Israel even sustain a limited air war with Iran without at least get in the support of the U.S. in terms of replenishing its arsenal of its defense system personal be quick obviously no in this current situation is what doesn't have the military industrial base and it doesn't have enough supplies to do so by itself and I don't think that it will have to I think that eventually the diplomacy interactions between the countries will be settled and that this package will pass, APAC will make sure of it and eventually Israel will have a need to defend it. I can give you 25 seconds. Absolutely no. Israel needs the United States the adventures that we are going to face in the coming years we have to look further on with the war and with the impact of this war also depth between Israel and the United States we need the support we don't have any capability to do it by ourselves and we need to strengthen and we need to work on it besides the level of the security figures on the political level this is our main problem now Alright Ambassador Daniel Shek Tan Dango Chan Thank you so much for joining us Let's end on a sort of positive note out of all this darkness Burning Time is a name of a band which was formed by three young men who are living in communities near the Gaza border they survived the October 7th attack and now pursuing their dreams of rock star and as they face this new reality they try to incorporate their experiences into their music Orisha Pira and Karmit Malko have their story. Let's take a look and listen Itai Matar and Grisha were normal teenagers when they formed a band and dreamed of the first single they would release On the morning of October 7th it seemed these dreams were shoved and with them the routine life that they now miss so much I woke up and heard a lot of booms I thought ok this is normal I went to the safe room and then suddenly my father tells me that there was a terrorist infiltration At that time we didn't know the source of the fire and then they started saying that the terrorists had entered all of the communities and it was an unpleasant surprise Itai was staying in the safe room in his home in Anapso Matar was in the bomb shelter in Kibutsu Reim and Grisha was in a safe space in Mosaveyesha for hours they used the phone to keep track of what was going on with their friends I have a friend who was between two places that were conquered and the last message I received from her I heard gunshots and was afraid then they cut the internet and I didn't receive a message from her for nine hours she's alive the community was not occupied but there were hours of fear I have many friends who are dead or kidnapped people who are close to my family we moved away we tried to find peace of mind but all the time there are messages about abducted, dead, funerals it's tough after a day they were evacuated each of them went to a different safe place Itai to Elat, Matar to Yakum and Grisha to Haifa out of the harsh reality that befell them and alongside the anxieties and the difficult stories about their friends who were kidnapped or murdered they continued to write and play until they managed to meet and record an album tomorrow may be brighter is one song from the album a song full of pain about the brutal morning of October 7th and also full of optimism a song for us, the adults who can learn a lot from it tomorrow will be a better day all of this will be over and we won't have to be in fear that friends will die even though I have friends who are murdered and kidnapped and also all the hostages will return tomorrow may be brighter if all this world was unfree and filled telling the story through music which may be expressed as through what can be expressed
