Wyrie davies has more. One positive note from cairo is that they have gone into a second day with delegation from hamas, egypt, qatar, and The Americans talking about the stability of a six or seven week ceasefire in gaza. But israel decided not to send a delegation. Israels says the preconditions it insisted upon that hamas should provide a list of the hostages who remain alive, and those who might be exchanged in a prisoner swap, or hostage swap, with the palestinians, that wasnt forthcoming. So israel has decided not to send a delegation to cairo. That has been criticised in many parts of the israeli media, and the israeli public, as an unsustainable position. That isnt to say that had israel gone to cairo, there would be an automatic ceasefire there would be others stumbling blocks.

Israel is to maximise every unsustainable. Israel is to maximise every possible means, every possible method every possible means, every possible method of every possible means, every possible method of
Change. Clearly it is a popular policy by the public and heading up to the next election it would be a strange decision for the government to row back on anything with public support. Can the government have it both ways, say yes to granting licences for oil and gasp projects but at the same time it commitments to net zero . New licences for the north sea is not a change in Government Policy, we were expecting to see more. The oil and industrys estimates show production will continue to decline in the north sea no matter what the Government Policy is it simply because there is not as much gas and oil as 50 years ago when we started extracting. What is left in the north sea is mostly oil. This is mostly exported, so there is little benefit to our bills from more extraction and in a cost of living crisis bills are a strong priority for the public. It is a strange decision to approve more when it wont help with our bills because they cant move the dial on internationally set prices and it
