For democracies like the united say this. For democracies like the united states. Like israel, it is vitally united states. Like israel, it is vitally important that we respect and follow International Law, humanitarian law, the law of war as applicable. Humanitarian law, the law of war as applicable, and it is standard that we hold applicable, and it is standard that we hold ourselves to, and it is a standard we hold ourselves to, and it is a standard that we look to, including if and standard that we look to, including if and when we fell short of it, so this is if and when we fell short of it, so this is something that motivates both of this is something that motivates both of us this is something that motivates both of us and it is what distinguishes us and other democracies Around The World from terrorist democracies Around The World from Terrorist Organisations like emmas, which Terrorist Organisations like emmas, which have Terrorist Organisations like emmas, which have absolutely no regard for the rule which have absolutely no regard for the rule of which have absolutely no regard for the rule of law, for humanitarian rules the rule of law, for humanitarian rules and the rule of law, for humanitarian rules and rights, for any basic Standards Rules and rights, for any basic standards of human decency. 0n the contrary, standards of human decency. 0n the contrary, as standards of human decency. 0n the contrary, as we were discussing a few moments ago, they quite literally few moments ago, they quite literally and deliberately target civilians and not just target them, target civilians and not just target them, target them in the most inhumane ways target them in the most inhumane ways possible, and at the same time use them ways possible, and at the same time use them as ways possible, and at the same time use them as human shields. So that is a profound distinction between our two is a profound distinction between our two countries and a group like hamas our two countries and a group like hamas.

Again, just more of the incredibly personal way in of state . Again, just more of the incredibly personal way in which l of state . Again, just more of the i incredibly personal way in which the Secretary Of State is responding to what he has seen, what he has heard here. He took us through a lot of the images he has been shown by the israeli authorities. He is clearly shocked by it. His face was i am overwhelmed by it, but speaking incredibly slowly, incredibly emotionally almost about just the sheer scale, his recognition of having been there and spoken to people, but what has happened on the ground. He said so many images were due to him and due to his team. That was the first thought that i had. The other thought that i had was, once again, despite all of that, he is quite straightforward in saying, look, we have to make sure that civilians are not used by targets, thoughts, he equally said, and i quote, we did discuss ways of addressing the humanitarian needs of people in gaza. In other words, that situation, that side of the story, The Americans are still saying today release we need to look at that, a that. He raised the possibility of some kind of safe passage for civilians out of gaza, which is clearly something that is quite high on the agenda, the talks he is having with the israelis, egyptians and others. When it comes to us support for israel it is clear it is unequivocal, fulsome and it will never end. Unequivocal, fulsome and it will never end unequivocal, fulsome and it will never end. What does it mean in ractical never end. What does it mean in practical terms . Never end. What does it mean in practical terms . We never end. What does it mean in practical terms .

We are just hearing that the us secretary of defence is going to hold talks with benjamin netanyahu. What will this mean for israel and the region . In netanyahu. What will this mean for israel and the region . Israel and the region . In practical terms, it means israel and the region . In practical terms, it means more israel and the region . In practical terms, it means more military terms, it means more military support. Anthony lincoln has been explicit that they are providing more ammunition for israels iron dome Missile Defence system, but clearly they are open to other forms of military support. Israels military will be stretched by this operation that we expect to happen at some point. Huge numbers of soldiers and reservists have been called up. Israel will need ammunition, israel will need Military Kits and america is the source. Clearly that it is a discussion that is ongoing. But also secretary lincolns strategy is not just to talk to israel. We learned from that going tojordan and qatar, he is going to saudi arabia, the United Arab Emirates and egypt of his tour of the region, of which a lot of that will be how can we stop this conflict spreading . What can we do to relieve the humanitarians situation . When he gets to qatar, what messages can be usm to hamas, because some of the hamas leadership are based there. Qatar is one government that has a Written Communication to hamas. That is the nexus of diplomacy that is happening at the moment. Israeli Officials Say no water, medicine or fuel will be allowed into gaza until all the hostages taken in saturdays attack led by hamas are released. This situation now is difficult in gaza, we are in the heart of the hospital. We are in the heart of the hospital. We are in the heart of the hospital. This is the Act Department here. We are receiving many casualties here, different types of injuries all of the time, we dont stop night or day. The hospital is overloaded now with casualties, we can hardly manage dealing with the patients. This is the ct department. Accordingly, we can send people to the Emergency Department or other departments. We have a lack of supplies, we are running out of supplies, we are running out of supplies of everything. I have asked my friends in the theatre and they say they have been managing their difficulties.
