Its affecting some flights at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv and business, schools, and other forms of transport have also been hit. The stoppage is a day after the Israeli Army said it had recovered the bodies of six hostages who were taken during the attacks of 7th october. Alastair burt is a former conservative mp who served as Minister Of State for the middle east. He gave me his reaction to developments. The scale of protests is certainly unprecedented. There has been thousands of people demonstrating regularly against prime Minister Netanyahu firstly for internal political reasons, then post October The 7th lately in terms of his handling of the crisis, but the scale of the protest and the sense that the prime Ministers Strategy after October The 7th of seeking total victory of the elimination of hamas and the recovery of the hostages has proved to be a failure because it was impossible.

That explains why february was 1. 77 degrees warmer than preindustrial temperatures, and why global average temperatures hit a record 1. 55 degrees above preindustrial levels over the last 12 months.
