a former ecuadorian leader bush sheltering the mariana evans, dean. welcome. we begin in israel, where mass rallies are underway as the 6 month anniversary of the october 7th. come off terror attacks approaches. mounting anger over the government's handling of the war and gaza has brought thousands on to the streets of tel aviv and other cities. they're demanding that israel agreed to a deal with him off for the release of the remaining hostages. many are also calling for new elections and some accused prime minister benjamin, it's on yahoo and his coalition of delaying a deal with him. us for political reasons, are correspondent, i mean s, as in jerusalem told me more about the latest protests. first of all, these protests are happening all across the country, which is unusual, not just here in jerusalem, but also tel aviv and heifer where thousands of people went out on the streets, some even getting arrested,

demanding an end to the nets. and yahoo government over is handling of this war with her moss now uh these protests have been going on since before and its recent war and gaza. but it has really picked up a 2nd wins. uh now that international pressure is building on israel to do things differently about 57 percent of israelis believe that net and yahoo has not handled this war. well, what we have to point out though is that this is not, these aren't anti war protests. the main concern of the israelis are going out of the streets right now is the safety of israel and especially the safety of those hostages, who are taken austin on october 7th by almost terrorist just today. a family received the body of a deceased relative who was taking hospice. the idea of collected his remains in gaza and they just points to the tragedies for the families of those hostages. many

of whom believe that netanyahu's government is to blame for not negotiating seriously with them off to find a deal to bring this war to an end so that the hostages can come back safely. and amen. and other developments, both israel and the us are on high alert following the bombing of a bronze embassy in damascus a few days ago. and we know that attack killed a top commander of the runs revolutionary guards and some other individuals. just how concerned are as real is about a possible retaliation by iran. this is a main concern for his release right now. before sabbath on friday when shops were closing, lots of israelis went out and stocked up on a central goods. just in case of war broke out over the weekend. that's how afraid they are. the israeli military is on high alert. they refused to allow soldiers to go on leave over the weekend,

fearing of retaliation from iran. american troops in the region are also have also been put on high alert. so many is really, sir, believe that something is imminent. that was our correspondent. i mean s as reporting earlier from jerusalem. well, how does that? he has of schindler is a senior director of the calendar extremism project, which is a non governmental organization. he gave me his assessment of whether a major regional escalation was likely. thank you so much for having me. i don't think that a severe revenge that the wrong has promised us, for example, also in the aftermath of general. so the money is necessarily coming the way that everyone imagines. so everyone, of course, justifiably because you're not 100 percent excluding it, is looking at as strikes into israel. 5 that you are on has many more opportunity to choose to respond. and i think the most obvious way is really to go back to the

old playbook and how you round responded in the past. and that is looking at attacking installations in this case is rarely, or even us installations outside the region worldwide. there were a tax, for example in 2012 and bought a gospel gallery up against this ray. the tourist that's i think is where the should i lice shook your on attack is really territory proper by itself not by his paula. this would really put a lot of water on those uh, in uh, should i be as well as a washington walk you for direct attacks against iran already. and hence this is not into, you mean an interest? well, talk to us a bit about these proxies. you mention has the law, this is the largest and best armed non governmental force in the world, if i'm not mistaken. what is its capacity to really hurt israel? on behalf of a ron there. we've already seen the last couple of months costs for that tax on a daily basis,

around $80000.00 israelis. and then all the israel have not been living in the homes since the last 6 months. this is a real pressure also on the strain, the economy and the political pressure on the government by these supplies, much more than their misspelled are, has a global truck distribution and transporting network. that finance is impossible, useful not has quite a lot of economic interest around the world and is going on. has an attack network structure every single attack the last several decades that iran initiated at some element of physical operative behind the i. e. normally the strategic planning, the organization on the ground was done by our gc or pass that on or you should also offices and sometimes even based in the embassies and things in the country. but the operative so actually planted the bottom guilty individuals. these wise paul predicts so is spelled out use for all intents and purposes if needed. also an additional for an attack network for these long group optical female. and if,

as you suggest this retaliation may even take place outside of the middle east, possibly. and some other country and some other continent. is there anything that can be done to de escalate the situation right now? a while at the moment it's really hot behind a superintendent situation. not only did you have the gaza situation. continuing behalf is paula attack in northern israel's. we have a new to tax off the rocky. whoops. and you're in groups on us installations over the last couple of days, we ask you what the problem in the red sea. all of this creates a very difficult 10, a situation to diffuse the regime intent on. of course, after that this now of a really high ranking general who was also the liaison pause person between uranium forces in syria. i'm just pulling out and is going on forces that operate in serial . and if it has a, sat in the embassy of chair on, in, in syria is a really,

really difficult political thing and they will have to react, unfortunately in some shape or form. that was hung zach of similar senior director of the counter extremism project. many thanks indeed. thank you so much for having israel has responded to international calls to allow more humanitarian aid into gossum. the government has approve. the reopening of the air is crossing into northern gauze on and the temporary use of the dog port in southern israel. agencies say that supplies which are getting through at present or not nearly enough. inside these boxes is medicine and supplies. much needed aid at this hospital, which has become the most important in northern gaza officer, a schafer, hospital stopped functioning. many patients arrive to come out to one hospital.

guarantees to us as do my parents. but also for the people we says in gaza. simon is edging closer in northern guys. there were some 70 percent of the population is facing catastrophic hunger according to the when's world food program? oxfam says since january palestinians in northern guys are have eaten an average of just 245 calories per day. that's less than a kind of beans lie, a lay that when we were displaced at the beginning of the war, we use the rotten bread because of the high food prices. the. this is the only place where i can get any signal for my children. then i have 3 boys and a girl. they need food, where do i get food? i can't afford to buy it. everything is so expensive and i have no money. this local kitchen is our safe place. we come here every day on the problem. shared by
