current circumstances, i think the deal that they reached with hamas was the best deal they could. i hope they continue to put the hostage issue at the top of the agenda, above any other goal that israel may have, and i want to say also that the american administration, the biden administration, the biden administration, has done a tremendousjob in promoting this deal, and so did other actors, like egypt and qatar. boaz, what more do you think needs to be done?— boaz, what more do you think needs to be done? well, i think that all the _ needs to be done? well, i think that all the hostages _ needs to be done? well, i think that all the hostages should - that all the hostages should come home. all of them. there are still many, many of them in gaza. a lot of the hostages that were released, the children still have their parents, their dads, in one case their mum, their siblings are still hostages in gaza, in addition to some of the parents that were killed by the hamas attack on october seven. so i think all of them should come home, and ultimately, i don't want to get into details of policy. that is not for me to say. but ultimately there needs to be some kind of understanding that there are two people that live here, not here, i mean, in this small space, and neither of them is going anywhere, and there needs to be some serious negotiation for a peaceful solution. that cannot happen when extremists are holding the power. boaz s-ueakin are holding the power. boaz speaking to _ are holding the power. boaz speaking to me _ are holding the power. boaz speaking to me a _ are holding the power. boaz speaking to me a short -

"i am not taking personally the hate reactions "because first of all, i did nothing wrong. "second, people around the world are so dedicated to hating israel, it doesn't matter what is in my content." pro—palestinian creators like ariana share their views from their bedrooms, like she does, in the us. she experienced criticism and islamophobic hate at first, but then that changed. people started following me, they started discovering me, and so the numbers started shooting up. i have received more engagement on tiktok and have had multiple videos received more than one million views. both creators say that their content hasn't been sponsored. questions remain about whether the israeli government or hamas, which is prescribed as a terrorist group by the uk government, is involved in encouraging unofficial content. when users are pushed to more content confirming their views, extreme ideas can gain traction. you can see here how tiktok blocks the search term "letter to america", and that is because, on the app, several young users began to share and praise part of 0sama bin laden's "letter to america", his justification for the 9/11 attack. without mentioning its anti—semitic or homophobic content. tiktok said that there are only a small number of these videos, which it has removed, and interest has amplified on other sites. tiktok have also said, "our recommendation algorithm "doesn't take sides and has rigorous measures in place to prevent "manipulation." and it has removed 1.1 million videos from the region promoting hate and terrorism. the latest on the major rescue operation under way in india, efforts are at standstill in the northern part of the country where a1 construction workers have been trapped 15 days. workers have been trapped 15 da s. ~ , . days. our south east asia correspondence _ days. our south east asia correspondence with i days. our south east asia correspondence with the l days. our south east asia i correspondence with the latest. this was day ten, the first glimpses of the a1 construction workers. we will get you quickly do not worry. five days later they are still cut off from the outside world. the men were constructing a roadway through this mountain when a nearby landslide crush the partially built tunnel, trapping them behind piles of rubble. as crews raced to get them out, family and friends wait in anticipation. like this man who has been here for 11 days, waiting for his son. he lost one son and a construction accident two years ago he says he cannot face that grief again. translation: i pray to god that please do not take son away from me. mil god that please do not take son away from me— away from me. all i want is that my _ away from me. all i want is that my son _ away from me.
