0ver six months, gaza has been ravaged by war, disease, death and now imminent famine, caused by israels siege. The un calls it a betrayal of humanity. Kibbutz nir oz, right on israels border with gaza, feels like a time capsule stuck in the horrors of the 7th of october. Hamas broke in at dawn. They killed and took Hostage A Quarter of the 400 or so israelis who lived here. Sayed was laying there dead. You could see that he was trying to hold the door closed and actually the door was locked. The army opened the door later. Ron and his family survived in their safe room. Then he recovered dead friends and neighbours, some in pieces. In this house, you know, that was the first time that we realised that we are not looking for only bodies, because the beginning, you know, we took a lot of bodies. The interrupted, terminated lives laundry neatly folded the night before the attack give israelis a sense of moral clarity. Going around this place, you can understand why israelis believe very strongly that theyre fighting a just war in gaza. Of course, their allies feel the same. Their quarrel is with the methods that israel has been using that have cost so many innocent palestinian lives. And as for the family who lived here in this house, theyre dead. Israelis support the war. Many are also back on the streets, demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister. Netanyahus stated war aims total victory over hamas, as well as freeing the hostages have not been achieved. The demonstrators say thats because they come second to his own political survival. Nava rosalio leads a movement called shame. Netanyahu has an interest to lengthen the war as much as he can because as long as the world is still going on, he can say that now is not the time to know elections. Now is not the time to look for who is responsible. Which is he. Everyone here faces uncertainty, sometimes fear and a forbidding future. Israelis and palestinians look at each other with horror. Since the 7th of october, the old city ofjerusalem, the heart of their conflict, has been mostly quiet. During ramadan, many palestinians under 55 need Police Permission to join the crowds moving to the holy mosque. Palestinians were already convinced that their lack of rights under Israeli Occupation amounted to apartheid. Israel denies that allegation, and another, considered plausible by the world court, that it is committing genocide in gaza. Both sides believe that the other has carried out inhuman, unforgivable crimes since the 7th of october. New wounds on a century of scars. Dimitri diliani, a Palestinian Christian activist, says israelis are in denial. Killing children is killing children. It doesnt matter who is the child thats being killed, it doesnt matter who is doing the killing. I do sympathise with the holocaust. I recognise the holocaust. But that does not mean a green light for israel to commit genocide against my people or any other people. This is ramallah on the west bank. Polls show palestinians have strong support for the hamas attacks, but like most israelis, they deny that their side commits atrocities. What happened on october 7th wasjust one, one. Whats the word . One thing that happened in a long. Many years of oppression. So again, im going to repeat myself that our struggle will continue until we are free. Thats what any people under occupation, under oppression, under colonial settler, colonial settlers will do. We can report first hand here on the occupied west bank, just as we can from israel. But foreign journalists are not allowed into gaza by israel or egypt. The bbc commissioned a palestinian freelance in Rafah To Film Ii Year old rema getting food for her family. Translation if we get there early, we get some food. But if were too late, the food runs out so we wont have anything to eat. The food we bring is only enough for one meal. This has become a daily ritual for the children who fled to this part of rafah with their families. Much less aid reaches northern gaza, where famine is imminent. Israel, under us pressure, is letting more food in, but its also insisting that it cant finish off hamas without attacking this town, where 1. 4 million palestinians, including rema, are sheltering. She says getting her family food makes her happy. But remas pot is all seven people have to eat in a single day. Six months on, the gaza war is not over. A wider middle east war threatens. This could get worse. Jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. The Israeli Cabinet has approved sending a delegation to cairo to renew talks with hamas. But Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu said a ceasefire would not be agreed until israeli hostages were released. Translation the achievements of the war are great. We eliminated 19 out of 2a of the hamas battalions, including senior commanders. We killed, wounded or captured a significant number of hamas terrorists. We purged shifa and many other Terrorist Headquarters as well. We destroyed factories manufacturing rockets, control rooms, weapons, ammunition, and we continue to systematically destroy what is underground. We are one step away from victory. Israel is not the one preventing a deal. Hamas prevents a deal. Its extreme demands were intended to bring about an end to the war and leave it intact, meaning to ensure its survival, its rehabilitation, its ability to endanger our citizens and our soldiers. Surrendering to hamas demands will allow it to try to repeat the crimes of october 7th again and again, as it promised to do. Hamas hopes that the pressure from outside and inside will make israel surrender to these extreme demands. It will not happen. Israel is ready for a deal. Israel is not ready to surrender. Gazas Health Ministry says at least 33,175 people have been killed in the territory. Many of those people have relatives here in the united kingdom. Ehab 0mar is one of them. He is a member of the british palestinian families group. Which was set up during the war. Hello and thank you forjoining us. It has been six months, how has it been for you . Been for you .

Thank you for your time. ~ loss in gaza. Thank you for your time. , ~ , here in the uk, the Foreign Secretary has warned that the uks support for israel is not unconditional. Writing in the sunday times, lord cameron said there was no doubt where the blame lies, warning it must never happen again, after three british men were among seven Charity Workers killed when their convoy was hit in gaza last week. However, the deputy Prime Minister, 0liver dowden, defended the uks continued arms sales to israel. Hes rejected calls for the government to publish the legal advice its had about whether israels conduct in the war has breached International Law. With the latest heres our Political Correspondent helen catt. He was pushed on this morning. And, yes, he said that israels war was legitimate. He also said that it was the uk governments assessment that it was still legal for British Companies to sell arms to israel. Now, if a British Company wants to do that, it has to get an Export Licence from the government and that takes into Account Criteria like the Uks International law obligations and the risk that any goods or products that are being sent to a country could be used to violate human rights. Now what mr dowden said was that the governments assessment of that hadnt changed, that it was still legal. He also suggested that if that changed and israel was found to have broken International Law, then those exports could stop. But he insisted, and speaking to the bbc� s Laura Kuenssberg earlier, that israel was being held to high standards. Of course, we have concerns about the way in which israel is conducting itself. That is why we have raised issues, for example, in relation to aid and getting more aid in, and thats why weve raised issues in relation to deconflicting, but that is in the context of of a legitimate conflict that israel is pursuing. And helen, what did he say specifically about any legal advice that the government had received . Well, theres been a big question about this, because what ive set out for you just now is the governments assessment, the governments position. But theres been lots of questions asked over the last week about what advice the government has been given by lawyers on which its come to that conclusion and come to reach that. And mr dowden didnt directly deny a claim that was made by a conservative mp earlier this week that at least some of the advice that lawyers had given government was that israel had broken International Law. Instead, he said that the government wasnt intending to publish any of this advice. Labour, the Main Opposition Party in the uk, has said that that is the wrong call. The shadow Foreign Secretary, david lammy, told the bbc earlie
