By hamas while underscoring the need to minimise civilian casualties in gaza. The president will hear from israel, helped Conduct Operations that help minimises civilian casualties and enable humanitarian assistance to floaty civilians in gaza anyway that does not benefit hamas. To that does not benefit hamas. To that end today and at our request, the United States and israel have agreed to develop a plan that will enable donor nations and humanitarian organisations to Reach Civilians In Gaza and them alone. Including the possibility of opening areas to help keep civilians say. It is critical that we get aid to them as soon as possible. We share concern that hamas may destroy aid entering gaza or may otherwise prevent it from reaching people who need it pulls if a mass man in any way blocked mandatory assistance from reaching civilians including by seizing the aid itself, we will be the first to condemn and rack to prevent it happening again.

Husam zomlot, welcome to hardtalk. Husam, i want to start with something personal. You yourfamily is from the south of gaza. When you heard of the murderous attack that hamas had launched on israel on october 7, did you immediately realise that this was going to put your family and so many others in gaza in extraordinary danger .

The failure is much, much bigger than the immediate intelligence failure. You know, israel is paying a price for being led by a populist strong man, for the last 14 years. His entire career was built on dividing the nation against itself, on attacking the state institutions, on describing the Serving Elite of the state as deep state traitors and globalist infiltrators and things like that, and we are now paying the price for that.

Because on the day of the massacre it wasntjust, you know, the intelligence that failed, we are seeing our problems in so many of the state institution, and we are seeing a very inspiring upsurge of Civil Socie
