It is very difficult with hamas, but this is what we have to do. x, this is what we have to do. A year ago, this is what we have to do. A yearago, israelis this is what we have to do. A year ago, israelis were united in their revulsion over what hamas had done, but 12 months and with scores of hostages still being held, the public against politicians and the military, they are all divided over strategy in gaza.

We are hoping to rebuild something here. But we dont know for whom. We are hoping to rebuild it because it is our home. But we dont know who would like to be here and who will come back from there. We are praying that we can bring our people back. Some are dead and murdered, and some might still be alive. But for many families with children, they gave up on the opportunity to give here. As long as this thing is going on with the people on the other side of the border and the feeling of being insecure in this peaceful place. It is a paradox. So i do not know about the future. We are living in the future. We are living in the now. We want them back now. Over the past year, israel says it has destroyed most of hamass infrastructure, its military Force And Chain of command, do you feel safe here . It is hard to talk about politics on such a day.

Hes been working on a way to end the war. He spoke to my colleague lyse doucet. The war is not spreading now. It started on the 8th Of October, initiated by hezbollah against the state of israel, and as a result, more than 80,000 israelis that live along the Border Line in the north were forced out of their homes, and they are still away until today. So the war didnt spread to lebanon lately. It has started on the 8th Of October by hezbollah against the state of israel, initiated by them. And they said explicitly. Nasrallah said it before he was himself targeted by israel, that they did it in order to support hamas in the south, not that they had anything thatjustified it from their Point Of View against the state of israel, except that they wanted to help hezbollah. And, by the way, also forcing out 80,000 israelis from their homes and shooting rockets on a daily basis, two and 300 rockets a day into every part of the North Part of israel and the Centre Part of israel, where were sometimes millions of people have to sit in the shelters and the safe rooms. So this is nowjust as a background. However, yes, i, together with a very senior palestinian, former minister of foreign affairs and ambassador to the un, doctor nasser Al Kidwa, one of the most prominent and significant representatives of the palestinians. We together, uh, announced a published a joint statement of the guidelines for ending the war in the south, which is supposed to end the war in the north, and also to embark on a comprehensive Peace Treaty between israel and the palestinians. I think that we need to end the war right now. Israel has achieved as much as it can in the south, and we broke down the military power of hezbollah to the extent that they cant remain anymore in a dominant position in gaza. We need to bring back the hostages. This is the first priority. And if ending the war will help bring us the hostages, its worth it. And if ending the war will help bring us the hostages, its worth it. Israel will have to pull out from gaza. Gaza is not israeli. Its a palestinian territory and ought to be governed by palestinians. Doctor Al Kidwa and myself agreed that there should be, a mechanism, a bureaucracy created not of politicians, but of executives and managers that will be organically linked to the palestinian authority, but which will Take Over the management and the leadership of the gaza. Also, we agreed that there should be a Security Force that will be mandated to prevent any further attacks from gaza to the state of israel. Now, we talked about a two state solution. Live pictures now coming into is from berlin where there being held ahead of October The 7th Anniversary Event in support of the victims of the hamas attacks inside israel nearly a year ago which killed 1200 israeli people and led to the hostagetaking. The hostages are still in gaza at the moment. Meanwhile, this is escalated into a bigger conflict. We now have israel striking lebanon, and i will show you the pictures from lebanon. Stillsmoke show you the pictures from lebanon. Still smoke on the horizon there after further strikes by israel, it says it is targeting infrastructure of the Group Hezbollah which is listed by the us and the uk as a terrorist organisation. It is continuing to Fire Rockets into Israel And Israel is escalating the strikes with many strikes Overnight inside lebanon and further warnings to some areas inside lebanon from the israeli military to evacuate in advance of further strikes. We also have pictures coming into us of protests, this time in favour of palestinian people in gaza. This is from karachi. Around the world, there are protests against the war in gaza. Taking place in karachi here in pakistan, but also South Africa and indonesia and also in turkey today. Some demonstrations against the war in gaza today.
