Operations in the gaza strip, saying israel is prepared to stand alone and fight with its fingernails if necessary. Mr netanyahus comments come after President Joe Biden confirmed the us had paused a delivery of bombs which could be used in an assault on rafah. But the idf claims they had enough weaponry to finish the rafah mission. There have been mixed reactions to mr biden s decision from lawmakers in the us. Earlier i spoke to our state Department Correspondent tom bateman. You have spoken to members of congress all day, what sort of support or criticism is there for the decision to hold the shipment of the bombs to israel . One of the first things that struck me coming into the building today was the sense in which this is a very significant moment, the levels of energy and the response to this, the way people are feeling about this on both sides is extremely strong. That is because this is the first time in a generation we have had this level of public pressure applied by the whi

Bank of england is obviously thought about this very hard. They take this decision independently and i would much rather that they waited until theyre absolutely sure inflation is on a downward trajectory, and rushed into a decision that they had to reverse at a later stage. What we want is sustainably low Interest Rates. And i think whats encouraging is that the bank of england governor for the first time, has expressed real optimism that were on that path i israels made it through to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest in sweden amid pro palestinian demonstrations protesting against its participation. Thousands of people packed the citys historic Market Square before a planned march through the city.

After hamas operatives. But the relationship between america and israel, is more strained now, than at any time for a generation. Paul adams sent this report from jerusalem. Haitham is trapped. After three operations for a bullet wound that punctured his lung, he needs treatment abroad. All set to leave until israel captured and closed the rafah crossing. Forced to wait in a tent.

Just when rafah s need is greatest, its main hospital lies silent and abandoned, hastily evacuated in the face of israels sudden advance, now dangerously close to the front line. Israel insists its operation is limited. But new images of tanks massing on the border earlier this week have raised fears that rafah s Densely Populated Centre could soon be attacked in defiance of washington. Translation if we i have to stand alone, we will stand alone. I have already said that, if necessary, we will fight

Both hammers and the israeli delegations of left cairo in the gap between them appears to be unbridgeable at the moment. That doesnt in the talks are dead and there is enormous pressure to make this work is also the domestic pressure here in israel. And there are protesters trying to put pressure on the Israeli Government to do a deal and they have an expression in hebrew meaning deal now and they think that this government, this relatively far right government of Benjamin Netanyahu is really more interested in Crushing Hamas and getting their hostages out because there was a time back in november when negotiations, mediation and arch of five hostages out alive in almost every week, theres more bad news of hostages who have died either in captivity or found to have not survived the atrocious raids on october seven and the Cease Fire Talks of the moment appeared to have hit a b
