Welcome back to the live desk with the latest reports from israel saying the death toll from the various attacks in israel itself climbing to more than 900 people, mostly those civilians , people, mostly those civilians, was gunned down in their own homes on streets or at the kibbutz music festival. Kibbutz music festival. Scores of israelis were taken to gaza as hostages. With hamas to gaza as hostages. With hamas now threatening to kill one captive for every palestinian home that is bombed, bombed without warning. Among the families believed to be held captive is this mother and her two young sons. This is believed to be the moments when they were taken , according to palestinian taken, according to palestinian Health Ministry officials, some 770 people have been killed in israeli airstrikes on gaza so far with whole districts flattened. Well , the United Nations says well, the United Nations says 180,000 people in gaza having been made homeless. With growing been made homeless. With growing calls now for a humanitarian corridor with egypt , the rafah corridor with egypt, the rafah crossing to be reopened and indeed, the uns human rights chief, volker turk, has gone further, declaring israels siege to be illegal under International Law. International law. Irans Supreme Leader has denied they were directly involved in the attacks on israel, but has praised the hamas fighters who carried them out. Well , lets get the very well, lets get the very latest now from tel aviv and we can speak to israeli journalist yotam confino. Yotam thank you for your time. Yotam confino. Yotam thank you for your time. First to the for your time. First to the political situation there with this. Suggest of a coalition or unity government. How is that likely to change, change the Political Landscape , bearing in Political Landscape, bearing in mind that weve got hamas suggesting that it will not negotiate late on the hostages until the fighting is over . Until the fighting is over . Well, first of all, it will bnngin well, first of all, it will bring in much more responsible people from the centre of the Political Landscape. Former defence ministers from former military generals, people who actually know what theyre talking about. Netanyahus government right now consists of several far right, extreme chemists who have no military background, never served in the army. Yet they are at the security cabinet and they are very extreme, some of them. And they are basically early, some of them, first of all, refusing palestinians to have a state. Thats number one. But a lot of them also do not really acknowledge that they even exist. Thirdly, they would like to flatten gaza. So if there is a unity government with centrist or responsible politicians, we will likely see a different tactic , a different answer from tactic, a different answer from israel. But if netanyahu doesnt follow through with it and sticks with his own cabinet and the far right ministers, it will be probably a much harsher response. Thats at least what i think you just talked there, yotam, about a different tactic and we are hearing from hamas that they will not negotiate on hostages until the fighting is over. Oven that creates a very difficult problem for israel soldiers, doesnt it, as they go into gaza and wreak what israel says is mighty revenge. How on earth are they going to differentiate Hamas Terrorists from civilians i they cannot , for the most they cannot, for the most part. And they will also likely kill israeli hostages. Hamas has already said that four israelis have been killed in israeli airstrikes. So if israel continues to launch airstrikes and bombard gaza, the likelihood of killing your own people will just will just rise. Its just its just very simple. So the its just very simple. So the question for israel right now is whether israel will negotiate with hamas and free thousands of palestinian terrorists from israeli jails in exchange for the 100 and roughly 150 israeli hostages kept in gaza. That is a big price to pay. But i think a lot of people here are hoping for that, at least the relatives of those kept hostage inside gaza. Of those kept hostage inside gaza. Others will likely say gaza. Others will likely say just flat in gaza, get it over with. And this is the collateral damage. So lots of divided opinions here on that issue. Opinions here on that issue. Yeah, and increasing International Concern about the humanitarian situation with unicef and indeed the un itself saying that the siege may be illegal. Weve got, i think, the rafah crossing is partially open in Southern Gaza into egypt, which would be the corridor, i guess, for humanity , an aid. Guess, for humanity, an aid. What is the government likely to decide on that. Decide on that. Well, first of all, we do hear israeli media reporting that egypt has warned israel not to try and force gazans out of gaza and into the sinai desert. Gaza and into the sinai desert. In other words, resettle millions of people from gaza into the sinai desert. Israel kind of hinted at that earlier. They told all gazans to get out if they can. Well, the only way they can get out really right now is the Border Crossing with egypt. Thats also not egypt. And thats also not likely. Egypt not letting likely. Egypt is not letting millions palestinian teens millions of palestinian teens just into sinai. So thats not really likely scenario. What really a likely scenario. What is more likely is that israel will these bombardments is more likely is that israel will well these bombardments is more likely is that israel will well see these bombardments is more likely is that israel will well see the e bombardments is more likely is that israel will well see the death bardments is more likely is that israel will well see the death toll ments and well see the death toll rising, least in the coming rising, at least in the coming hours. And the humanitarian disaster unfolding on both sides. Lets remember that there is an absolute humanitarian disaster in israel right now with Israeli Rescue organisation is constantly uncovering new bodies and on the palestinian side we see the death toll rising rapidly. Yotam , a question many people yotam, a question many people might be asking is hamas , as we might be asking is hamas, as we know, they are a terrible terrorist organisation. We know what theyve done over the last few days is utterly barbaric. But when we look at the pictures, as we are now of what is happening in gaza city, of how israel is flattening gaza city , what does that make israel city, what does that make israel and netanyahu in peoples. City, what does that make israel and netanyahu in peoples. Eyes . And netanyahu in peoples. Eyes . First of all, this is part of hamass pr campaign, not only is it for good them for hamas to show the world that gazans are suffering in larger numbers is to show these pictures to the rest of the world so as to shift sympathy from the israelis who were slaughtered onto israeli onto palestinian children and women who are now being killed in gaza. Its a very clear tactic for hamas, and they are very cowardly in the way that they hide underneath the underneath the earth there are in tunnels and they are in hiding in bunkers. The leaders are. And thats always the case. They wait until the military campaign or the war is over and then they come back to the surface and see the destruction and the death that they have caused. This is exactly what caused. And this is exactly what were seeing now. Its the same recipe as hamas uses to recipe as hamas always uses to try and gain sympathy from the world. Now, the other significa thing is whats not happened, and that is that the border with the north, with lebanon and the hezbollah forces on the other side, that that has been relatively quiet. What is the relatively quiet. What is the thinking about that bearing in mind that iran, of course , is mind that iran, of course, is denying that the country has been involved in these attacks, but praising those who have carried out. So the carried them out. So the question really is how involved iran is. And according to the military , the fingerprints are always on the iranian fingerprints are always on terrorist attacks because iran sponsors islamic jihad, finances them, trains them. It meets with hamas leaders. But iran itself says leaders. But iran itself says its not involved. And the Israeli Military also said that iran likely didnt actually give the order. Now, the northern border is even more sensitive because of hezbollah, which is a much stronger entity than hamas. So far, weve seen israeli airstrikes kill three hezbollah members and in return, 3 1 israeli soldier has been killed in a cross border attack by islamic jihad. So this border is islamic jihad. So this border is very, very , very its a crucial very, very, very its a crucial area for israel. And its very area for israel. And its very sensitive, really. And what of life there in tel aviv . Life there in tel aviv . We can see 1 or 2 people behind you there, but relatively quiet. I behind you there, but relatively quiet. I gather youve had air sirens going off at various intervals. How are people going about their daily lives there in tel aviv . Tel aviv . Obviously, life is a little bit normal , a little bit more bit normal, a little bit more normal than in the south. For example, a along the border, the gaza border communities have been evacuated. Most people have left at this point. So its a complete war zone with flooded with military and ambulance crews and emergency services. Crews and emergency services. Whereas in tel aviv, life is a little bit more normal. But as you see, the barely any people and this is a you know, its a its not a holiday today it was supposed to have normal life in in and people are in tel aviv. And people are simply staying inside because theyre afraid, really. And theyre afraid, really. And theyre watching the news. Theyre also watching the news. They want to know what is happening is this situation happening when is this situation going to be under control. Going to be under control. Okay. Well, yotam, thank you very much indeed for updating us there with the situation in tel aviv with, of course, fast developing situations both in gaza and, as you say, the eyes on the north as well. Well be back to you as we get more. Thank you very much indeed for your time here on gb news. Well, prime has well, the Prime Minister has been reporters been speaking with reporters just moments ago about just a few moments ago about palestinian aid and protests over the issue in the uk. Heres what he had to say. Change now. Were going to talk about israel and gaza, if we can. And can you tell what the uk is doing in response . You is doing in response . Are you reviewing aid to palestine and are you fearful of seeing demonstrations and violence in the streets here in the uk . We the streets here in the uk . We know there have been pro palestinian and pro israeli demonstrations in on the streets here. Well we stand in solidarity with israel and the people of israel in the face of these barbaric acts terrorism i and last night i went to visit a synagogue in to london express my support for the Jewish Community in the uk.
