She joins us now, live from london. Good morning to you, nada. So what impact might these massive protests . And now the strike have on pressuring prime Minister Netanyahu and his government to accept a Ceasefire And Hostage deal in the wake of the discovery of the bodies hes six hostages or isnt here. Weve been seeing these largescale protests taking, taken place within israel, particularly in Tel Aviv for months. Now pressuring the government, calling on the government of israel to take action to strike a deal with hamas that would ensure the release of hostages. And of course, a ceasefire In Gaza. But it does feel as though the Anger And Frustration towards the israeli government is really coming to a head, weve seen these huge demonstrations taking place once again, but were not only seeing this now on the popular front, were seeing huge division as well within netanyahus own gov i moment over the course of the Ceasefire Negotiations, over the lack of progress that is being made to secure the release of hostages, particularly differences cnn understands between the israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister yoav galant. Now, there has been a huge amount of division. On some of these sticking points that continue to exist within the Ceasefire Negotiations. We know that the israeli government in particular israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has put forward new conditions from that Ceasefire Proposal that was put forward by u. S. President Joe Biden in late may. These are areas where we still havent seen any breakthroughs, havent seen any sorts of agreement between israel and hamas one of those key areas of division is questions around the presence of israeli troops along the Philadelphi Corridor, that Buffer Zone separating egypt and Southern Gaza. Now, cnn understands that the Defense Minister, yoav gallant, has called for that particular condition for the presence of israeli troops to be removed from the a Ceasefire Negotiations as it currently stands, or rather from the proposal currently on the table as this has seen, according to golan, as a condition that hamas simply wont agree to it. In fact, we have heard time and time again now, not only from hamas officials, but also from mediators on the egyptian side, theyve said they are not in favor of seeing that longerterm presence of israel israeli troops within the Gaza Strip that they want to see a full withdrawal of israeli forces in any sort of Ceasefire Proposal and that particular this would include that crucial Philadelphi Corridor. But of course this is something that the israeli Prime Minister has continued to patrol. This is something that Members Cabinet have a greater, including the security cabinet, which voted in favor of maintaining a Troop Presence along the Philadelphi Corridor on thursday. But again, huge amounts of division within the israeli government itself on these particular sticking points. And again, as you mentioned, these huge demonstrations, protests taking Place And Weve been hearing from the Family Members and rep. His entities of hostages up to need to be held captive by hamas In Gaza, calling on the israeli government to take tougher action that has certainly when that Mounting Pressure from members of the international community and mediators, including of course, the biden administration we heard from u. S. President Joe Biden over the weekend saying that his assessment or rather the u. S. Assessment, is that there was a potential for this deal to be struck, but they were on the verge getting closer to a final agreement, but it does feel as though we are only further away now, as you mentioned, these really Government And Israeli officials have said they believe these hostages were killed by short range Shots Hamas has denied or rejected back to this. They have said that they were killed in israeli bombings. Of course, the stands in contrast to the evidence, according to israeli authorities. But again, that continues to be that division. It does feel as though that pressure on prime Minister Netanyahu is mounting not only from within his gun, but also on the popular france as well. Alright, our thanks to Nada Bashir bringing us that live report from london joining me now from southern israel is efrad magic hour, the niece of 80yearold hostage, gadi moses thank you so much for talking with us at this difficult time with the bodies of six hostages discovered in Hamas Tunnel In Gaza while youre 80yearold, uncle remains in captivity. So what are your thoughts at this time as you try to process thiS Shocking news thank you very much for having me. Yes, indeed, you know, for 11 months of abuses too bayesian and torture, all of those six in the Hamas Captivity made It They were alive they survive, they they made it, they were strong. And yet they were murdered and thats really scary. And that shows that there is no time. And that the decisions of the israeli Government Or Wrong and its time to seal that deal. There was a deal since may and we know for sure that those people could have been home, including my uncle and we are crying out for international assistance. And four people within our government and especially our Prime Minister who is really making a very dark legacy of what he does to stop and get that ceasefire and get them home. They have to be home were seeing that Pressure Hundreds of thousands of protesters taking to the streets of israel. We saw that sunday, angry with prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as you are in demanding as youve just said but he accept the Ceasefire And Hostage Release Deal. And now of course, israels largest Labor Union calling for a nationwide strike today, were seeing some evidence of that at the airport, and thats all to increase this pressure. How likely is it . Do you . To think that prime Minister Netanyahu will respond to this pressure we have been in the streets since almost the very beginning and i have to tell you that yesterday it felt different it was there were so many people and we did feel that other people who were knocked out in the streets did come. It was really packed and we hope that by gathering our only democratic way of protesting is will bring the voice of the people to its Prime Minister, who is not taking responsibility, who is not fulfilling what he should do and i know i know that our people are held by terrible terrorist organization, but we elected our Prime Minister and its his responsibility and it has been 11 months now they should have been home and for the strike, yes. Israel is on strike and we are thanking the head of the Federation Of Labor for joining us and for understanding that everything should stop. There is nothing more urgent in israel and in the Middle East right now but the return of the hostages at will rewind the circle of revenge and the killing we want to stop that. It is time to concentrate on the morals of values. We grew upon morals of life. And redemption, and graaff we should stop the Deaths Cycle and some critics going so far as to say the prime Minister Netanyahu, has failed the people of israel do agree with that . Sadly, i totally agree with that i think that he had so many chances. We know we know that at least the deal froM May was on the table and sabotaging and giving all these excuses. Suddenly we hear of the Philadelphi Corridor or other things. He i think as many others that he is doing this for his own political survival and he forgets that as a Prime Minister, he should first take care of his people and his stade enyes, also of our neighborhood and region. This is his responsibility. He has to be the one to sign that deal. Not to abandon everybody, but to bring them back home by a deal, by a ceasefire it is time for them to come home including my very, very dear Uncle Gadi moses, who is a Peace Activist who was traveling around the world, saving other peoples lives through agriculture through the correct use of wastewater he saved. So many lives and yet he is somewhere we dont know where In Gaza kept as nO One should be treated in the whole wide world if fred tell us more about what you would like us to know about your uncle me. He has an extraordinary background, doesnt he yes. Please excuse me gadi moses is the kindest person he is the guy that is within a group alwayS Shines Joy And Kindness is very, very strong spiritually strong man and i believe he is holding up there. I believe that everybody around him already learned how kindy is and how knowledgeable he is he is as i said, that Peace Activist, he was working with different arab countries like egypt and jordan. He was even guiding palestinians all his life to try and overcome hardships through innovation and agriculture. And, you know, there are 12 grandchildren waiting for granted, but to come back and we want to have his hug. We want to hug him. We want everybody back. They should be able to read, ability and we should have all those who were murdered back for respect for burial. And Gadi Gadi loves wine and he had, he and his friends in Kibbutz Neroz where unfortunately one of four people where either brutally murdered, or abducted. They have planted a vineyard and they have their own rakes and they make their own wine and i wish for him to have the freedom. And that sense of normality back and may we be able to toast for Life Cheers for life. Once he is back if fraud much yuchao, we wish the same. And i know how difficult this has been for you to come on and speak to us to all our viewers and tell your story and to talk about your cool and what this means for you. And we hope this all ends very well and very quickly. We hope that we hostages. Thank you so much thank you. Thank you very much. And we really do hope its up to our Prime Minister.
