in their ground operation in gaza, but pressure mounting on president biden as the humanitarian crisis worsens in gaza worsens. 400 foreign nationals have crossed into egypt today, but another 6000 trapped and waiting to get on a list. we will hearfrom one man who is desperately trying to extract his parents. 0ur panel this evening — security consultant justin crump from sybiline and the washington post's live anchor leigh anne caldwell. we will dip into the ongoing row in congress over israel and ukraine aid. and we will bring you the news from that hour—long sit—down rishi sunak had tonight with billionaire elon musk. good evening. the israeli prime minister says his country will not agree to a ceasefire with hamas. the calls for a pause in fighting, he said, are calls for a surrender. instead, the idf will be intensifying its military operations. bbc verify have been looking at the satellite pictures for us. this image is from november the ist. the israeli military appear to be advancing on four axes in the unfolding siege of gaza city. if you focus on the red circle at the bottom of your screen, this is what it looked like in a satellite image taken five days early before the military operation began. and now look at image from yesterday. you might be able to pick out the tank tracks that are wiggling into the gaza strip. here, again, the before image. and now, again, the image from yesterday showing the progress the troops have made. the israeli military said just an hour ago that it has now completed its encirclement of gaza city. the engineering corps is working to locate and neutralise the tunnel system beneath the city, though that is an emormous job as we will discuss. the head of the main us relief agency in gaza said tonight that their fuel supplies are now "completely depleted" and that the last remaining public services in gaza have "collapsed". and with only 50 trucks getting into the strip yesterday, there is pressure mounting on president biden from within his own party. last night at a rally in minnesota, he was heckled by a jewish peace protester. mr president, if you care aboutjewish people, as a rabbi, i need you to call for a cease—fire right now because... in response to that intervention, the president said he favoured a humanitarian pause. "i am the guy," he said, "that convinced bibi to call for a ceasefire to let the prisoners out. i'm the guy that talked to sisi to convince him to open the door." his travelling secretary of state will land in jerusalem in the morning. ahead of his flight, there was a focus on the humanitarian situation. israel has not only the right, but the obligation to defend itself and also to take steps to try to make sure that this never happens again. we've also said very clearly and repeatedly that how israel does this matters. we will focus as well on steps that need to be taken to protect civilians who are in the crossfire of hamas's making. and we want to look at concrete steps that can be taken to better protect them. the number of dead rose to 9000 today, although clearly in i must stress again we cannot independently verify those figures, but secretary blinken while reaffirming israel's that the defence of distress the humanitarian situation. what message will he give benjamin

the israeli operation came can cut the israeli operation came can cut the strip in half and the outline they are operating in, they push into the strip from the north as well and i think in the more open areas around gaza city it self to encircle the city for soup in terms of threats, at that point the israelis will worry about the anti—tank missiles being fired at that point from a longer line of sight. so they are being quite cautious to that area you see some of the destruction that's taken place on the edge of buildings in the edge of farms and things around the edge of farms and things around the edge of the strip where those positions from micro will most likely have been. hamas has certainly been reported as using these weapons and israel has lost at least a few vehicle from what we can see in those engagements. it's been slow and steady for them. now hamas have the advantage of retreating into the built—up areas or the terrain is closer, it's harderfor israel to use armoured vehicles as effectively and the fighting gets more difficult in the fighting gets more difficult in the fighting gets more 360 if you like and as a vehicle commander, you are very concerned and as a vehicle commander, you are very concerned the environment because enemies can move from the sides of you and you cannot see it as well and they can move above you which is very fearsome especially for tanks. so much harder going out but if you're taking a slow and steady approach and have cut gaza city off to stop hamas fighters from excellent trading and moving to the south of us they wanted to do. it's a stage one of the operation number the complete for israel and have a steady move into stage two and starting to push into the outskirts. you can hear the confidence from the premise or that it's going well and these lies are crumbling, but we have seen in previous conflicts and in vietnam brings to mind how difficult it is when you're talking about such an extensive tunnel network. the engineer said they are working on that tonight but is there a risk militarily that you advance and then they pop up behind you? absolutely, and someone said the other day the only thing worse and fighting in a city is fighting in the ruins of the city. i think the one thing then fighting in the ruins of funding in room was covered in a very extensive and well built on a network. and of course hamas has covered gated is really operations against tunnels by having hostages and of course they are being held in those networks, if you cannotjust collateral tunnels and leave them. they cannot seal off the tunnels and leave them come of that to actually attend to clearly some of them and thatis attend to clearly some of them and that is very bloodied because however many of you there are attacking, only one or two people can get in a tunnel at the front is probably going to be fighting in the dark and very unpleasant situation where the adversary knows a tonne of network and you may know some of it but they probably know more than you do when you were going in there. and it is very unpleasant indeed. and so israel seeking to avoid having to do too much of that. the israel seeking

about but we have heard today from the intelligence community. the us intelligence community said today they believe, at least for now, that iran and its proxies are calibrating their response to events in gaza to avoid direct conflict with israel and the us, but the pentagon is also keenly aware that iran does not maintain perfect control of its proxies. and there are splits, simmering tensions, within the group as to what the response should be. an important moment will come tomorrow when we hear from hezbollah secretary general hassan nasrallah, but it's safe to say there has been a significant uptick in exchanges all along that northern border. in fact, today, hezbollah launched two drones packed with explosives in an attack on an israeli army position in the disputed shebaa farms area of the border. a large quantity of explosives that they claim hit their target. separately, the armed wing of hamas in lebanon has said it launched they attacked i9 they attacked 19 positions along the border though that has not been confirmed. medics in israel said that two people were injured. the situation in lebanon and the splits and hezbollah and what sort of pressure the politburo of hezbollah might be under. you have the oint hezbollah might be under. you have the point about— hezbollah might be under. you have the point about the _ hezbollah might be under. you have the point about the anticipation i the point about the anticipation with the speech almost rolled like a netflix special officer media. the next few days ago whenever we look forward to what he has to say. it's a pretty big challenge for him actually because i think the us and the intelligence community assessment is public really correct that what we will hear is something we become familiar with from the russians as well which is red lines are being crossed and we are considering we will do and take this matter very seriously and obviously israel should be worn. but actually no real statements of action. but i think we're seeing that is most likely sort of thing that he is probably going to come out with but we think it's very unlikely that he will come out with a declaration of full on war against israel because it's been quite a bit of warning of what he might say that. and of course hezbollah this is now up to the worst possible time really to go to war against israel because the israelis immobilized many people and there are two aircraft areas on the coast. these are what the process of looking at a great detail the seat actually what is the right thing to do here because it is the worst possible time again what this fight. yes they could help hamas but they could bring on the destruction of their position in lebanon and at the very least a war in lebanon and they would look better if they were able to do at a time when israel had not mobilised his entire reserves and did not have to aircraft carriers. that's a very good point with this term, the response is a visit sort of science but i remember covering the war in 2006 in lebanon and it was a supposed to unfold as it did. if you have a spark, you can have the fire. �* . , . , if you have a spark, you

and wars really go as i planned unfortunately, otherwise anyone could win them and no one will make mistakes and you would not have any surprises will submit a high risk steak and especially when emotion is so high this is a challenge not only for iran and proxies with strategy and passion but also for air leadership versus the arab streets which we recall arab leaders are very concerned about a repeat of the arab spring under the surface and of course for not just those leaders under the surface and of course for notjust those leaders but if they are seen ultimately to disregard the plight of the policy and people, they could face significant popular unrest and nestling they will be try to hedge. not only hezbollah or iran but many leaders in the region very carefully try to calibrate a very appropriate word to be saying the right things and to allow a certain degree of passion to boil over and show is being taken seriously but probably not let this escalate out of hand. as you say it is a spark and he could ignite something. i think this will be real concerned about is this should be management there is very large risk. the about is this should be management there is very large

the days of intense diplomacy, much of which flows through qatar. we have been speaking to noaf al thani, the former director of intel operation in doha. in my view, any pause in the battle, any de—escalatory measures by the israelis will be able to decision and have a positive impact definitely on everything including negotiations. there are some 400 foreign national thought to have crossed into egypt today. the foreign office here said some of them were british passport holders, although they have not provided any detail on how many there were. quite a number of them were american citizens, but it's not entirely straightforward this. you are not called to the border unless and until your name appears on a daily list, and getting information about those lists and who will be on them is proving difficult. there are maybe more than 6000 people still trying to get out. and some reports of families being split, with some eligible for passage and some not. let's speak to loay elbasyouni. he is an american—palestinian who works for nasa. in fact, he was part of the team that created the remote helicopter that flew over the surface of mars in 2021. his parents are german

poor communication and certainly in the groups. i've been a part of working with ngos and western companies of people in gaza and the us or department you are very active in support of ngos and the private sector in these efforts. it's been the longest—running topic of conversation with this crossing opening all the arrangements to get there and how people get to know about it? their fears of there and how people get to know about it? theirfears of hanging in the cross because there has been targeting nearby the crossing and as we know against terrorist infrastructure there. normally that does as we have seen and the politics of egypt not wanting to have a rush of the border which has happened in the past around the crossing. england and they're very much fearing a flood of refugees entering egyptian territory and becoming the government so they been a significant part of this. the israel is the centre of the border crossing and he was going out and they don't want everyone able to go out and are very concerned about aid coming in because i don't wanted to go to hamas. they are not particularly amenable to these operations anyway. so significant a nomadic effort and i thinkjust to get this crossing open to allow excellent number of people across and the crossing never allows many across any time. because the egyptian concerns historically. so it will be a trickle rather than a flood and of course just getting hold people who recently survive in southern gaza is difficult and they get to move through an active war soaked to the border to cross safely and you can imagine the sort of struggle it is and i know... is a struggle it is and i know... is a coule struggle it is and i know... is a couple get _ struggle it is and i know... is a couple get up _

shuttle diplomacy if you seen with blinken to go through all the regional governments to get in issue is the month of effort to this point. this woman people have started to be allowed out who her passport holders. we have to hope it continues but of course the pressure around this remains very intense and the egyptians are watching very carefully particularly as a monetary situation deteriorates further in gaza and they will watch very carefully for that's sort of pressure on the fence. house republicans were planning a vote today on a $1 billion a vote today on a $14 billion aid package for israel, which will set up clash with the democratic—controlled senate and the white house. the bill is the first major piece of legislation that has been moved by the new republican speaker, mikejohnson. but then presidentjoe biden has threatened to veto the bill even if it passes. that is because he is seeking a much bigger $106 billion package that includes funding not only for israel, but also that $60 billion for ukraine. we heard from ukrainian mp eena sovsun last night on the programme the ukrainians say amid a renewed assault from the russians they need that money
