So Israeli Defence forces chief hsi halevi has issued an apology after Israeli Forces killed seven aid workers, including three british veterans , on monday. The aid workers were providing security for the World Central Kitchen Charity in gaza. Israel have said that the strikes were unintended. Prime minister rishi sunak came out and said that the deaths appalled him, describing the situation in gaza as intolerable and the families of the three british aid workers who lost their lives have now issued heartbreaking statements about it. Their devastation at events today is this the Tipping Point in the bombardment of gaza . Now should the sales of arms to israel be stopped . James, let me israel be stopped . James, let me come to you first, it feels like today there is a change in the air in terms of israeli allies, but probably just as importantly , the mood of the Wider Population. Population. So i think if you looked at the mood of the Wider Population in its months and months and months, that the public, if you look at polls, have been horrified by the, ongoing war crimes that are being committed by the state of israel against the Palestinian People , these the Palestinian People, these aid workers who were killed are added to already around 200 aid workers who are being killed in israeli bombings. So far in the israeli bombings. So far in the conflict. Thats over 100 journalists who have also been killed. There have been assaults on pretty much all of the medical infrastructure. Of course, we know tens of thousands of people have died. So thats where the public has already been. The politicians and the media class in this country have been way behind them. But now, at last, perhaps them. But now, at last, perhaps theyre catching up because its for large parts of the political class. Its one thing for british bombs and british bullets and british diplomatic cover to be complicit in one of the great crimes of our age. But when they are involved in killing our own citizens, its absolutely clear that arms sales to israel must be stopped because we cant be selling arms that are being used in gross abuses of human rights. And that is what we have been seeing for six months. And its been clear that that is what has been happening for six months. David, those images from october the 7th were almost like nothing weve ever seen before. But we are six months later now. But we are six months later now. How does it to you feel that the response is disproportionate , response is disproportionate, that war is almost never proportionate. War almost always falls hardest on the most vulnerable. Hardest on the most vulnerable. And quite frankly, the incredulity of people who have just realised this surprises me. War is terrible. War needs to be avoided. It is for that reason that, to a large extent, organisations like hamas should not be geared up and presented as legitimate peace partners, when in actual fact they were preparing for this attack. They were preparing for this brutality. Now i have to say that as human beings , we are that as human beings, we are rational. We are empathic. When we see the horrific suffering thatis we see the horrific suffering that is going on, it is it is natural for us to, to be a, you know, disgusted by, by what we see. And it can even feel cathartic to use the most extreme language, the most hyperbolic language, to describe what is going on. Its unhelpful. James, the war is not against the Palestinian People. Its against hamas, tell that to the tens of thousands of palestinians have been killed. It is a horrific, predictable , it is a horrific, predictable, horrific, brutal war who have had their infrastructure targeted by ai generated targeting power targets, which are to target infrastructure thats civilians use, the shutting off of food, civilians fuel, medicine and water on the 8th of october was guarantee need to create the famine like conditions which we are seeing now. That is not famine like conditions for hamas. That is famine like conditions for 2. 3 million people. Go on david. Go on david. Well, surely this yes, it highlights the fact that hamas are using civilian infrastructure. You know it and i know it. The Palestinian People are suffering horrifically and if i could flick a switch and this war would end with peace, i would do it in a second. But the israelis are trying to recover their hostages, who are being raped, who are being brutalised in a manner that you and i probably thank god, will have to thank god, will never have to imagine, right when were imagine, even right when were hostages were released. When there was was that when there was a temporary ceasefire, or was it when they were continuing the bombings, the devastation, the destruction, of destruction, the occupation of the hospital, the the largest hospital, the destruction of medical facilities, bombing of facilities, the bombing of journalists, destruction journalists, the destruction of aid convoys. When was that . Was it during the destruction bit or was it during the temporary ceasefire bit . I dont want to see armed conflict. I think youre naive if you think that the fact israel went in didnt make an impact, didnt cause those hostage negotiations to take place, didnt strengthen anyones hand in that, or at least give them some Bargaining Power . And why are the families of the hostages themselves angry at the hostages themselves angry at the into the invasion . Why in the into the invasion . Why in the first place . Did was there a protest at netanyahus office calling for there to not be the invasion in the first place . Why are their family members at protests saying that what they want to see is negotiation to bnng want to see is negotiation to bring their loved ones home . Because of course, that is what should happen. The taking of civilians is a is a crime to be a hostage or to be the family of a hostage or to be the family of a hostage or to be the family of a hostage is a situation none of us ever be in. Us should ever be in. Course, theyre going to of course, theyre going to think scenario where think of any scenario where their loved one might come back unharmed. So of course theyre going things. But going to say those things. But i would ask you, what would you like israel to do to pull out, allow hamas to rearm and to come back do another october 7th back and do another october 7th again and again, theyve again and again, as theyve said, i would, of course, like to see pull out entirely, to see israel pull out entirely, and i would like hamas to leave hamas rearm. Just hold on hamas to rearm. Just hold on a second. I mean, lets see whos been doing the last year, you know, when you say you cant negotiate with one side, i mean, you have to negotiate with the people who are there. The Palestinian People have to way, way have to negotiate which is negotiate with a state which is carried out horrific. And, you know, terrorist and illegal acts against since against them, not just since october the 7th, but for decades. So, yes , the state of decades. So, yes, the state of israel should cease the bombardment because it isnt it isnt doing anything. This is not creating long term stability for israel either. You want israel to pull out and leave hamas to. I want one second. You want the uk to stop funding israel . Do you believe israel should exist at all . I think that i dont think that an apartheid state, i dont think a state which again, occupies another state, its not a slur, its an objective. No, its an objective legal term. So you dont law. Hold on. Yes or no . Yes or no . Yes or no . Should israel exist . Let let let me. Should israel exist . Should israel exist . Let me, let me finish. The question is, in what form does a state have a right occupy state have a right to occupy others . If youre saying thats israel, then that involves occupying others and operating an apartheid system. No one has an apartheid system. No one has a right to that now, are you . Wait, wait, wait. Now, are you saying because this is its saying because this is how its usually presented, its usually presented. Saying that presented. If youre saying that israel right to israel doesnt have a right to do whatever it wants, do you think that jews dont have a right i think right to live there . I think that jewish people have an absolute to live in absolute right to live there. In the same that i think that the same way that i think that palestinians have an absolute right, both people right, i dont i both people have very strong links to have have very strong links to their and my opinion, it their land and in my opinion, it should free, fair, two should be a free, fair, two state solution, contiguous. Acceptable you . Sure. But its up to you . Sure. But its not up to me. Is that even of course. But my point is im glad we got there. Is that even possible but is that even possible now, yosef . Is that given now, yosef . Like, is that given the bloodshed of the last six months, the next generation of division which has been created possible, its the only option that we have. And theres been theres been equally brutal conflicts, for example, between the greeks and the turks. Theyve managed to make peace. Peace is possible. Make peace. Peace is possible. We can live together. In actual fact, the israelis and palestinians are far more similar than they are. Do you have did we either of you . I do you have did we either of you . I want time scale off you you . I want a time scale off you best and worst scenario, best and worst Case Scenario, best and worst Case Scenario, best Case Scenario that this conflict is brought to an end and a two state solution and a and a two state solution is found. Is found. I am im for doing the right thing because its the right thing because its the right thing do. Its very possible thing to do. Its very possible that thered be a two state solution without peace. At first. The thing to do first. But the right thing to do is right thing to within, is the right thing to within, what, a year . Within two years could happen. Ten years, it could happen very quickly there were very quickly if there were legitimate partners, if very quickly if there were legiifnate partners, if very quickly if there were legiif the partners, if very quickly if there were legiif the palestinian ners, if the if the palestinian leadership genuinely ready leadership were genuinely ready for israeli for peace and the israeli leadership maybe slightly leadership had, maybe a slightly different you do different leader, who do you do you any of the current you view any of the current cabinet as being , in your view, cabinet as being, in your view, legitimate partners for peace in the strict terms that youve put forward . There are absolutely. Because im sure you know, do you think israel has Coalition Governments . Theres many governments . Theres many different factions there. So absolutely, there would be people in that government who would be part of a government for peace. I genuinely believe that. What about you, james . In terms of time scale here, terms of a time scale here, whats the whats the best Case Scenario to this, this scenario to stop this, this death toll of 33,000 palestinians dead at the moment, 75,000 wounded. So in order to stop the destruction, we need to, as much as possible, throw sand in the wheels of the war machine. Which is why stopping bombs stop. Stop selling bombs and stop providing diplomatic pleasewait stop providing diplomatic cover for these extremely grave crimes. Thats the first step. And there are lots of things that people can do at home, and there are lots of things that people are already doing. Its not just about protesting. Its not just about protesting. Its not just about political pressure. About protesting. Its not just about pactions pressure. About protesting. Its not just about pactions that;ure. Are theres actions that people are taking they work in taking within. If they work in Companies Complicit in companies that are complicit in what going theres what is going on, and theres a wide range of the
