Learned on Saturday Evening that the idf are discovered six bodies in the Gaza Strip and we were waiting identification of those. One of those has now been identified as hersch Goldberg Polin, the Israeli American who viewers may recall seeing in the wake of the hamas led Terrorist Attacks of october the seventh with half of his left arm blown off. He subsequently appeared in Hamas Hostage Video several months ago, his parents have been incredibly vocal. They appeared at the Democratic National Convention. Theyve met with President Biden and theyve been tireless in their campaign to get not just hersh released but also all of the hostages still remaining in the Gaza Strip released as well. The family of hersh put out a Statement Saying with broken hearts, the goldberg family, and the goldbergpolin family, excuse me, as devastated to announce the death if their beloved Son And Brother hersh, the family. Thanks you all for your Love And Support and asked for privacy at this time Presiden
Idf has now identified all six saying their families have been notified Israels Defense Minister says the six were killed just before troops could reach them according to the initial assessment at our disposal, they were brutally murdered by hamas terrorists a short while before we reach them. They were abducted alive on the morning of October 7 by the Hamas Terror Organization Chauvin Book Togo Israeli Cabinet is scheduled to meet one hour from now. Meanwhile, the White House put out a statement that reads in part, it is as tragic as it is, reprehensible. Make no mistake. Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes and we will keep working around the clock but for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages the news had led to protests in israel and new calls for israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a Ceasefire And Hostage deal. The group missing Families Forum is calling for more public protests on sunday for mr. Netanyahu to address the nation. Bola hancocks
Not credible as a matter of law is not something that judges really do i think that to a certain extent the judge was cutting through and saying the standard here is that no reasonable juror could possibly find on these facts and that usually is successful. If the evidence produced the trial skips and element entirely, you have no evidence of a Shooting Evidence is somebody got shot and then they just forget to bring in the autopsy so that nobody actually testifies the guy died. Then you ask for judgment as a matter of law that acquitting on the murder case because there was no evidence of a death and so its unlikely to do here and so i think the judge is kinda needling todd a little bit there with the with the whole idea of not quite able as a matter of law, i will say though these types of motions, even though from the defense sayyed, you know that youre unlikely to win its very useful to prepare for the closing because you kind of preview your argument and then you see what the pros
It would also allow for displaced families to return to northern gaza. Its also reported to involve new wording on restoring calm to gaza, designed to satisfy hamas s demand for a permanent ceasefire. Benjamin netanyahu meanwhile said that israel will carry out an operation in rafah, regardless of whether a Ceasefire Deal is reached with hamas. The israeli Prime Minister was speaking at a meeting with the families of hostages where he reiterated that israel would eliminate hamas, and achieve total victory. Translation we will enter rafah because i we have no other choice. We will destroy the hamas battalions there, we will complete all the objectives of the war, including the repatriation of all our abductees. This is from frank gardner. A lot of things are about to happen in this part of the world over the coming days. Antony blinken has arrived here and hes only spending less than a day in israel but he will be pushing for the Ceasefire Deal. I do not think it would be Ceasefire Deal
