I want to spend the next few minutes talking about that extraordinary briefing given to International Journalists yesterday where the Israeli Military played more than a0 minutes of previously unseen video of the hamas atrocities on october the 7th. Its worth warning people watching that the descriptions you might hear in the interview coming up are likely to be both graphic and upsetting. But it was an unusual tactic from the idf and one that its important to look at in detail. One of the journalists at that screening was David Patrikarakos Foreign Correspondent for the news website unherd. Thank you so much for being here on the programme.

I got inside, looking for the wi fi, had my camera ready and was told there would be no photos or recording. I was slightly flummoxed by it because the point was to the world what they had said had been done by hamas. We got inside a large Lecture Theatre with a big screen over the stage. It said, seven of October Massacre in hamas. We were treated to 45 minutes of quite astonishing footage. It started almost a speech by the idf people, they are traumatised by what happened. Notjust in terms of the lack of security. I happened. Notjust in terms of the lack of security. Lack of security. I will come to that in a lack of security. I will come to that in a moment.

So, most of the footage comes from the of the footage comes from the perpetrator themselves. These have come from fighters who have captured and killed. You are seeing hamas fighters running through roads, running into the street shooting civilian cars. You see them drag bloody corpses, male, female, throwing them into the streets. Shouting and screaming as they do. You are seeing terrifying male and female hostages handcuffed and tracked out of trucks and thrown into cars, where i am assumed they are taken to gaza. They are distressing. You see one scene which comes from the security camera, and a father is with his two boys and they must be 12 or 13 and they are in their underpants. They run to a cubbyhole, so fighters emerge from a truck, they throw a hand grenade, the father dead. 0ne truck, they throw a hand grenade, the father dead.

Seeing hamas fighters break into an office, carrying a civilian under a table, people raiding a field and then the same people lying dead. Where people are dancing and laughing, this is a celebration of life alongside the fetishist of death. It is distressing. It is personal.

In part, i have seen some other things they said, it was in part to show the world what they are fighting in terms of what hamas was capable of. It is also very much to address the deniers out there.

They were forced to do this because the level of denial was so great. There was a lots denial about theissue great. There was a lots denial about the issue of murdered babies. We were shown an image of one of them, and it was horrific. This is where we are now. They are forced to come out and put these images. I need to point something out, i put a tweet which spread.

We did not see a lot of the worse staff. Certainly around things with women, whom cut some who may be alive. For all the horror we saw, there may be worse. Saw, there may be worse.

Thank you for speaking to us on the programme. Lets go back to diplomatic efforts taking place in israel and the wider region. The french president , emmanuel macron, is on a visit to israel where he has expressed solidarity with the country. Speaking alongside the israeli Prime Minister he insisted that the first objective of the war should be to free all hostages. He added that it was israels duty to fight against hamas after 1,400 people were killed in their attacks on israel. But he warned against enlarging the conflict. This is why we stick together and i remind you of the issue. I consider coalition in order to fight against the groups. Ijust remind my people in my language what we discussed about fight against action, reels to be respected. And political trust, and i warned against an escalation. I want hezbollah not to be part of what is happening. We had a precise discussion, and i want to thank you for that. Discussion, and i want to thank you forthat. Now discussion, and i want to thank you for that. Now we will follow this discussion in the coming hours, in order to see what we can improve, and the coming days, and in the coming weeks and months. I know how committed you are. Letting express once again my support and france stands with you in this awful Terrorist Act you have to experience. We are with you. Emmanuel macron is the latest leader to visit israel with the hope of de escalating the crisis. Hes also due to meet Palestinian Leader mahmoud abbas. So, which countries are key when it comes to finding a resolution to the humanitarian crisis, the release of the hostages and indeed longer term stability in the region . 0ur reporter Azadeh Moshiri has more. Lets take a look at some of the key mediators in this war with a close look at egypt and qatar in particular. Now, theyve had success in the past. In 2021, there was a serious conflict between israel and hamas. Alongside the United Nations, qatar and egypt held indirect talks that managed to secure thousands of work permits for gazans to work within israel. It also secured several other restrictions that were relaxed. Now, individually, egypt was the very first arab country to make peace with israel in the late 70s, and it controls the rafah crossing, which is critical and has been critical to getting much needed aid into gaza. And as for qatar, during this war, theyve already secured several hostage releases. But as with anything else in this war, their role is complicated. Qatar has faced criticism from the west for years for having hosted taliban leaders in their country before the taliban swept back to power in afghanistan in 2021. And even today, they host several hamas leaders in qatar. In fact, hamass top leader, ismail haniyeh, lives there today. This was put to a former Military Attache for qatar and a member of the ruling family who spoke to the bbc in a personal capacity. The only thing we can see in the actions of qatar is that it views its relations with hamas as a mediator and as a way for a solution of a long lasting peace for the palestinians, for the israelis
