Patrick to. Patrick british and european authorities need to say no to jihad on our streets. We are not a fundamental muslim continent. We never will be. Sharia law will never be for us. We do not have blasphemy laws and we will not play host to foreign istoric drama and conflict packed spilling onto our streets. I say this in light of the fact that there are calls now for an International Day of jihad to take place tomorrow, friday the 13th. Its quite appropriate, isnt it . The former hamas leader has told muslims to take to the streets. Well Khaled Meshaal led hamas from 2004 to 2017. He now lives in qatar and he wants the arab and muslim world to rise up in light, of course, of whats going on in israel and in gaza. Well the thing is, though, i just dont think this is going to end up being exclusively in the arab world. It today for example, world. Is it today for example, in of hours time , there in a couple of hours time, there is set to be a pro hamas rally in paris, which we will take live, which obviously has the potential to turn very ugly very quickly. Weve seen incidents in quickly. Weve seen incidents in america in australia, in sheffield, in london, in berlin, and was not to going take much, i dont think, for the elements of the muslim anti is rally diaspora across europe to see some form of day of jihad taking place in the middle east and then respond to their brothers and sisters by taking to the streets themselves. But we cant have that here, can we . That would be openly supporting a terror group in the shape of hamas. It would be openly supporting terrorist activity. You jews on the streets of you know, jews on the streets of britain and will britain and europe will basically stay basically just have to stay inside. Will they . I mean, brits will just have to suck and will just have to suck it up and allow more incidents of people marching through the streets supporting a terror group . I mean, no, come on. Britain and europe has to decide right now how its going to deal with the potential uprising, because in the days, the situation the coming days, the situation in israel gaza is almost in israel and gaza is almost definitely to step up definitely going to step up a notch or two. And britain and europe stands with israel. Yet within each european nation, there are clearly , clearly there are clearly, clearly pockets of support for hamas, for the destruction of the jewish race and for the eradication of israel. Now there is a very important, in fact, an absolutely vital distinction to be made between people who simply want those in gaza, palestinians , to have a better palestinians, to have a better life and those who crossed that boundary towards supporting a terrorist organisation and i absolutely do not want to tar everybody with the same brush. I would never want to do that. But right now have a former right now we have a former leader a proscribed terrorist leader of a proscribed terrorist organisation calling for an anti israeli muslim uprising and we need to make it very clear, i think, that if you take part in that in britain, then you get locked up. We have had deal locked up. We have had to deal with of a lot of with a heck of a lot of incidents that frustrated incidents that have frustrated certain fundamentalist certain more fundamentalist elements of the Muslim Community, as the batley community, such as the Batley Grammar School protests, for example. Police force needs example. Our police force needs to crack down immediately if it appears that people in this country are going to answer a call by a former leader of a terrorist organisation that has just jewish babies just murdered jewish babies and children for any support for those radicals needs to be dealt with straight away. Yeah those with straight away. Yeah those are my views. I want to hear from you, gb views or gbnews. Com. Again, i want to make important distinction, make the important distinction, the distinction between the vital distinction between people people people who want the people of gaza Palestinian People gaza and the Palestinian People just a better life and just to have a better life and think that are issues think that there are issues there and people are there and people who are actively support hamas and actively support hamas and actively actions actively support the actions that weve seen israel. There that weve seen in israel. There is distinction there and we is a distinction there and we dont kind blur all dont want to kind of blur all of lines. But the of those lines. But the uk government arranging flights of those lines. But the uk govof|ment arranging flights of those lines. But the uk govof israel arranging flights of those lines. But the uk govof israel now ranging flights of those lines. But the uk govof israel now forjing flights of those lines. But the uk govof israel now for britishjhts out of israel now for british nationals. The first is nationals. The first flight is due depart from tel aviv due to depart from tel aviv later today. Us secretary of state Antony Blinken has been in israel asserting his countrys support for israel. Hes told israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, were not going anywhere near. As the pair met in tel aviv. Yes well, lets now cross over to tel aviv and get the very latest with gb News ReporterCharlie Peters. Charlie, thank you very much. Whats it like where you are now . Well, Anthony Blinken, the secretary of state for the us, has actually just left this location here. Were at the tel aviv Expo Convention centre, which for the last four days since the start of the war, has really just evolved very suddenly into a volunteer effort. Thousands of people coming here every day gathering suppues coming here every day gathering supplies and also hunting for missing persons , which has been missing persons, which has been a grave issue across the country since the war erupted. Mr blinken was toured around the facility just behind me by members of staff here, organisers. But its a very organisers. But its a very fluid situation here. Its a Grassroots Foundation here. People have just come together organically to support israel and the secretary of state has come here just moments after his speech, his conference, his press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of israel , in the last couple of israel, in the last couple of hours , both of those leaders hours, both of those leaders called for moral clarity in this situation. Netanya who described the actions of Hamas Terrorists in israel as isis like and earlier in the week, we heard israelis describing the isis like butchery of the Hamas Terrorists in their actions in the kibbutz. And some of the massacres carried out in southern israel. For his part, southern israel. For his part, mr blinken said that there was a false, equivocal sense being delivered between the actions of the israeli state in gaza and the israeli state in gaza and the actions of Hamas Terrorists in the region. Thats the situation in detail in tel aviv , but more broadly across the country, the fighting, of course, rages on. Some this morning thought today would be the calm before the storm as that likely ground incursion into the gaza strip draws on and more troops massed down there. But as weve seen , actually but as weve seen, actually fighting has continued. Rocket fighting has continued. Rocket barrages come in from gaza. Barrages have come in from gaza. We heard explosions in the last hour as rockets were intercepted over ashdod by the iron dome defence system. And the war has pushed further into syria as the Israeli Air Force has struck the aleppo and damascus into national airports, neutralising their runways. So a very fluid , their runways. So a very fluid, very complex battle space here and fighting continuing on all fronts. Fronts. Yeah, absolutely. And it does appear as well as more and more countries being drawn into it in a more direct way. Youve mentioned there. There mentioned syria. There. There were of action around mentioned syria. There. There wenlebanon of action around mentioned syria. There. There wenlebanon areaf action around mentioned syria. There. There wenlebanon area lastion around mentioned syria. There. There wen lebanon area last night. Und mentioned syria. There. There wenlebanon area last night. Of i the lebanon area last night. Of course, gaza is as involved as it could possibly be. And one just wonders whether or not that is going to escalate. Again, i want emphasise the want to emphasise that the former of has former leader of hamas has called for some kind of International Day and International Day of jihad and called for people in jordan and egypt and that kind of group of people around there to rise up and to start making their voices heard. And i think that has massive connotations, frankly, as well, given what weve already seen the streets already seen on the streets of britain streets of britain and on the streets of europe. But, charlie, well go back very shortly. Thank back to you very shortly. Thank you everything you very much for everything that youre for us over that youre doing for us over there. Peters, in there. Charlie peters, who is in tel been tel aviv. But soldiers have been gathering israel gathering along the israel lebanon border, as weve been heanng lebanon border, as weve been hearing now, the bbc, we have been reported to ofcom over the refusal of the broadcaster to call hamas a terrorist organisation. So weve got the situation in detail on the ground now so we can kind of pick apart some of the different angles of this. Our state broadcaster, as were, is broadcaster, as it were, is refusing to a designated refusing to call a designated terrorist who have terrorist group who have unequivocally gone and committed atrocities. And can i just take this opportunity as well to say in my view, if you are trying to split hairs, really over whether or not young people, babies has suffered their heads being cut off or whether or not they were shot to death, i think youre missing the point there. That would be my view. But five lawyers wrote to the regulator and accused the broadcaster of failing to show impartiality beyond doubt, urging ofcom to investigate the bbc. But whats next for the bbc . Have they fallen . Well below its standards expressed in its editorial values . Why are they so reluctant to call a terror group a terror group . Lets get more on this now with bbc journalist danny kelly. Danny, thank you very much. Why on earth is going on in new broadcasting house . I think the bbc have got it terribly wrong. Patrick and this denial that they ever used the word terror attack or terrorist, thats just demonstrably untrue. Only on the 23rd of september there was a bbc article reflecting commemorating the tragedy on 9 11, and they labelled it as a terror attack. So when the World Affairs editor john simpson says the bbc never used the word terror attacks or indeed terrorists, thats just demonstrably untrue. And when hes used it, sorry, tony, but he has used it. People have gone through his tweets. I mean, always the mean, theres always the receipts. Is always receipts. Danny there is always the receipts, as you well know. And the word and hes hes used the word terrorist. Hes not been shy terrorist. So hes not been shy in past. Terrorist. So hes not been shy in sure. St. Terrorist. So hes not been shy in sure. As a journalist and as sure. As a journalist and as a radio presenter, when we had the seven over seven terror attack, i called a terror attack. And i used the word terrorist and no one told me not to use the word terrorist attack or indeed terrorists. We indeed terrorists. Once we establish simpson saying establish what mr simpson saying is actually true , you then is
