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 President Biden, the white house, put out a statement as well saying that the president was in his work in the words of the statement, devastated and outraged and then we also heard from the hostages forum, which show represents the families of those who were kidnapped on october the seventh, saying that netanyahu abandon the hostages starting tomorrow, ieee September The First sunday, the country Will Tremble. We call them the public to prepare. We will stop the country. Weve also subsequently had to of the other bodies have been identified as well of people who were kidnapped on october the seventh one is eden yerushalmi, who was working as a bartender at the Nova Music Festival, which is where hundreds of israelis were killed in the i most deadliest single incident of those Terrorist Attacks of october the seventh and Auradou Nino also has been confirmed as being killed as one of those six bodies that were discovered in this tunnel in rafah On Saturday, michael, what does the usual process . Again for it . Dan defying the other five. I mean, there are names out there now, so one presumes that were not reporting, of course, but there are names that are out there now about some of the other members of the six. How does this normally unfold . So the idf will have people who can identify forensically that the bodies To Then be able to inform the families, they will be the first ones to be told. And then sometimes we get statements from the families first as we did in the case of hersh goldberg, polin. And indeed from edin, Russia Family and the family of origin, nino. And then sometimes they statements are put out simultaneously or beforehand by the idf as well. And its worth noting, of course, that are still more than 100 hostages being held in the Gaza Strip after being kidnapped on october the seventh, around a third of them are believed to be dead hostages forum. And those with Loved Ones in gaza have been Urging Ratcheting up the pressure on the government To Try to do whatever it can to bring those Hostages Home, saying theyre Running Out Of Time and if a Deal Isnt done, then they wont be coming home alive. Itll just be their bodies that will be returning. And sadly, that is the case now witH The hes six hostages, three men and three women. We understand us as you say, michael, were not revealing the identities of the three that hasnt been officially confirmed just yet. But so far we do have confirmation of the death of Israeli American hersh Goldberg Polin. And then you show me and already nino, whos the bodies were discovered On Saturday. And the families of those who still have Loved Ones in the Gaza Strip will be even more alarmed and concerned at the fate of their Loved Ones who are still inside gaza as we now move inTo The 11th month of fighting between israel and hamas, which led those Terrorist Attacks and the kidnapping of those israelis and people of other nationalities as well as the idea of given any more information on the operation that found these bodies or any information on how they might have died so were expecting a statement actually from the idf there holding a Press Conference shortly in the morning, just got a notification abouT That. But usually they will give details that they feel able to give without giving away any intelligence that they might have done. Because in previous cases when theyve discovered body, some of that its been directly attributable to intelligence that theyve received sometimes they might come across these bodies as part of their operations, but certainly we would expect to get some more details from the idf which has people that are very welltrained in terms of searching for these bodies and something that grisly task that theyve been carrying out trying to locate obviously, living hostages, but also dead ones over the past ten months, almost 11 months of fighting . Yeah, absolutely. Elliott gotkine. Thanks. Well be checking in with you again. I want to read the white House Statement that was its pulled out and just part of that quote, it says 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 for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages. Thats from the u. S president joe biden, just in the last within the last hour or so as this news has broken will get back now to Yaakov Katz, whose as near columnist at the jerusalem post, hes also the author of three books on the israeli military, including Shadows Strike inside israels secret mission to eliminate syrian nuclear power. He joins me again from jerusalem i want to go back to war for 456. Wow, weve got a yako. Can you hear me, michael yeah. Excellent. Okay. Good. I wanted to go back to what elliot was talking about and we were discussing this last hour as well, the the hostages and missing Families Forum. This call on the public to mobilize and saying that the Country Tomorrow Will Tremble what do you expecT That to look like . Well, i think kind of as we discussed before, michael the feeling here in israel this morning is one of great devastation in mourning, right . These people were believed to have been alive just until a few days ago, the six hostages, which as we now know four of the families have identified their Loved Ones who have Hersh Goldbergpolin, these really american, or a denier . You know, it didnt you re shouting our Carmel Gat to 39yearold woman who was taken from her home in one of the key would seem along the border was a yoga instructor. Lots of yoga had been done in her in her honor, and two, to sell To Try to push for her release over the last 11 months. Now, it will have to sadly be in her memory by many users who israelis are feeling Morning Devastation and the tragedy, and they will direct it somewhere in the feeling is that this could have been avoided. That writing was on the wall witH These people who were held in gaza to over 100 hostages who are still there. That every day that passes their lives risks and are in peril and this was told To The security cabinet, which prime Minister Netanyahu leads and heads and unfortunately, as members of the Negotiating Teams here and israel are now saying two different media, including Brock Ravid earlier, that they could have been saved in the deal. And that deal didnt not happen. So i think israelis are going to potentially take To The streets today. We already have one senior politician is calling on all high school students. Todays september 1, the beginning of the School Year here in israel. Ive kids who are on their way now to school. He is calling on high school students, dont go to school, go To The streets, go protest. So i think thats what we should expect to see later today. And as we were discussing last hour or two, there has been enormous criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu from within his own cabinet among his own hostage negotiators, mossad shin bet, and so on. But hes still there. What what do you think is the Tipping Point . The him as Prime Minister, given that there is so much Public And Hostage Family Anger directed at him personally for being the Stumbling Block on getting a deal done. Yeah. I mean, its not even just the Stumbling Block. Michael, its that it seems that his priorities at times were just worked that he preferred and prioritize political survival. And the keeping his government intact and not being toppled by the threats of members of his part of his coalition who said, if you make it deal, and you end the war, you agree even to a ceasefire. We will bring down your government. He prioritize that over the real potentially tangible opportunity which was to bring back these people, including the six whose bodies were discovered yesterday in a dark tunnel inside the Gaza Strip and some dungeon it could have potentially actually had been brought home. So really the question is going to fall again on the political lines. I think that weve seen all throughout this war where it seemed in the beginning then netanyahus political career was over after the unthinkable disaster of October 7, which really ends by him, right . He was hes been the Prime Minister pretty much for the last 15 in years, straits can consecutively, hes the man who orchestrated and was the architect of Israels Policy when it comes to hamas. But hes managed to claw his way back and hes now at the top of poles once again, there was a poll that just was taken on friday that showed that if elections were held today, he would be the largest party by far, according based on the parties that are currently inside that israels parliament. So im not sure that this is something thats going to hurt him necessarily because his base of voters still support him. But this does have the potential to really rip once again inTo The hearts of israelis. And let me just add one last thing. Michael, israelis hearts had been pierced for the last 11 months witH The inability to heal as many people around the world and especially in america, who were praying for, hersh Goldberg Polin, an americanisraeli to come home that those hearts will not be able to heal now, even more and the question is, what are we going to do witH This pain . And i think that it might translate itself into a political movement To Try something, whether its get back those hostages or change this governmenT That that, thats a fascinating point. Do you, do you think it could be a Sea Change politically . In that regard i think its possible. Look, its always difficult to know what is going to be the trigger thats really going to finally create that momentum thats needed to bring down a government. Its difficult To Tell i think whether youd like me To Turn out where you dont like in a tiny theres theres one simple conclusion. This government brought upon israel the greatest disaster. Almost in its history. On October 7 weve been stuck in a war enough for 11 months, whether you think hes making now the right decisions for the wrong decisions that sits on him his wrist sponsor ability, and his governments responsibility. The question now is whether what this great tragedy can now be diverted that Energy And Direction to Reconstruction And Rebuilding and recovery that this country still needs. Because no matter what happens how the war ends one way or the other, israelis do need to somehow heal after this long period of just Pain And Suffering of the Hostage Families and every israeli who was praying and yearning and just wishing that these people would be able to come home alive and tragically, theyre not, but also what do we want to see our country look like . In the future . And how do we prevent these types of instances . One from happening once again . Yeah. Yeah. Or October 7 was a Lapse In and of itself, which is israelis want accountability for. Yaakov katz, a great analysis, the powerful inside their inTo The thinking where you are are. Well talk again and im sure my friend. Thank you so much. Thanks to you all right. I want to read now a statement from the Goldberg Polin family and it is this quote with broken hearts, the Goldberg Polin family is devastated to announce the death of their beloved Son And Brother hersH The family. Thanks you all for your Love And Support and asked for privacy at this time heartbreaking journalist Elliott Gotkine joins me again from london with more. Are you hearing anything else about other hostages, elliot we are michael just in the last couple of minutes or so the idf has put out a statement confirming the identities of the other three hostages. There were six whose bodies were discovered in this tunnel in rafah in gaza On Saturday. The idf together witH The isa, which is the shin bet, saying that they located him recovered the bodies of the hostages, Carmel Gat aden erie, sharmy, and we already mentioned Hersh Goldbergpolin, who weve been talking about, the Israeli American Alexander Lob enough whose wife, if im not mistaken, gave birth while he was in captivity, almog surrogacy, and Master Sergeant omri the nino. So those are the six people that were discovered whose bodies were discovered in a tunnel in rafah in the Gaza Strip after they had been kidnapped during the hamasled Terrorist Attacks of october the seventh. The statement continued saying they recovered these bodies from an underground tunnel in the rougher area in the Gaza Strip and returned them to israeli territory, saying they were all taken hostage on october the seventh. And were murdered by the hamas Terrorist Organization in the Gaza Strip. Now, they usually also tell us when they feel in all these cases recently where they found bodies, theyve said that they believed that this particular person would have been killed on october the seventh. But of course, just a few months ago, we saw a Hostage Video put out by hamas featuring Hersh Goldbergpolin as well. So we know that he certainly was alive a few months ago. I should also note that the main spokesman, the chief spokesman, Daniel Hagari sorry for the idf is just about to start to giving a statement To The media. So just to continue, while were waiting to see what mr. Halevy has to say the Idf Statement continuing saying they havent Identification Procedure which has carried out by the national Institute Of Forensic Medicine the israeli police, and the idf military cabinet. This is to ensure identification and ultimately burial in accordance with jewish law as well as the Idf Manpower Directorate Hostage Team and they send their condolences and say that theyre operating with all means to bring home all the hostages as fast as possible. But of course, after this grisly discovery, there are fewer of them alive hundred and seven or so hostages still believed to be in captivity in the Gaza Strip. About a third of those are already believed to be dead and as we heard in the response from the hostage and missing Families Forum, which it put out on Saturday Evening theyre calling effectively for a nationwide shutdown, nationwide protests on sunday, September The First, which also happens to be the first day back to school for israeli children in their statement from Saturday Evening, they said netanyahu abandon the hostages starting tomorrow. Thats sunday, September The First the country Will Tremble. We call on the public to prepare we will stop the country. And of course, the other context of this is just a couple of days ago, this quite mindblowing always transcription of this spat between Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu its no secreT That the two men love each other. You recall the netanyahu sacked and then and sacked Gallant In March Of Last year when he came out and called for a pause and prime Minister Netanyahu yarl, whos plans for overhauling the judiciary and weakening the power of the supreme court. I should say that the idf main spokesman is about to start speaking To The media. Im not sure if hes going to be speaking in english or in hebrew. And so as a result of this spat, it came ouT That gallant the Defense Minister effectively said to netanyahu, you are killing the hostages by insisting that in a sit in these Ceasefire Negotiations with hamas, that israeli stay in control of the border between Gaza And Egypt. The socalled Philadelphi Corridor, because youve basically got two choices. Either stay in control of the Philadelphi Corridor, which is a nonstarter for hamas or you get the Hostages Home and gallant saying that look, you have made your choice, netanyahu and he was backed up by the head of the Idf Or Herzi halevi, who said, look, we can leave the Philadelphi Corridor during this initial Sixweek Pause and then retake it if need be israel feeling strategically that it needs to be in control of that border between egypt and hamas and gaza. Or i should say because that is the main conduit underground especially for moms and other supplies to get to hamas and israel doesnt want to enable hamas to rearm, but certainly the Defense Establishment is very much in favor of doing this deal. And as weve seen, time is running out for so many of these hostages, netanyahu brought to a vote the cabinet the decision that he was advocating to insist on remaining control of this border between Israel And Gaza in Hostage Negotiations with hamas. And that vote was passed eight to one. The only dissenter being you have golan To The israeli Defense Minister, micheal. Yeah, i was talking with Yaakov Katz thats about this and i mean, you know, israel very well in israeli politics, this, this level of anger directed specifically at Benjamin Netanyahu you mentioned, im glad his own Defense Minister senior idf officers, that some in moscow, some in shin bet, all it was theres no negotiators all criticizing Benjamin Netanyahu. And now this seething public anger, which is probably going to play out in the day ahead even more than it has done in recent months. Does netanyahu survive this . Whats your read on the survivability of him . Michael. First of all only a fool would write off netanyahu. He has been written off so many times before among his many nicknames, although hes clearly lost the mr. Security nickname in the wake of the october the seventH Terrorist attacks has happened on his watch. One of them is the magician, because he always finds a way to get doubt of sticky situations even when it seems that theres no hope of doing so. And the fact remains as Barak Ravid was pointing out, just a few moments ago, is that he has 64 seats in the 120 seat Israeli Knesset. So long as he keeps his coalition together, he can stay in government and as Prime Minister until the next elections are due. In which are in October Of 2026 now, could he lose the support of some of his Coalition Members . Well, weve heard them say it quite openly that if netanyahu goes ahead and does a Hostage Deal, then the jewish power and religious zionism factions of his governing coalition. These are the Farright Party hes headed up by tomorrow, ben gvir, the national Security Minister and bezalel smotrich, the finance minister, than they have said they will bolt the coalition. So its from his perspective, the only way he can lose his standing as Prime Minister, the one way that his Government Collapse is if he does a deal with hamas to bring the Hostages Home, even thougH The actual deal would get the support of the opposition, yair lapid, the leader of the opposition, and others have said that they would support prime Minister Netanyahu if he signed on the line for a Hostage Deal in the knesset. And it is worth noting and many analysts have pointed this out. The Israeli Knesset is on recess right now until after the high holy days. So up until october, its on recess. So To That end, he would not have to face a vote of no confidence if he did a deal to get with hamas that would see the ceasefire coming into effect. And a number of hostages being released at the same time. But Netanyahus Perspective seems to be, he knows hes best, hes been Prime Minister for what, 15 years hes the longest serving Prime Minister in Israels History and he feels that he knows best what Position Israel ought To Take and that it is made and he has maintained publicly all of this time that it is the Military Pressure on hamas which will pressure them to come more towards Israels Position in negotiations, to do a Hostage Deal. That is as palatable as possible to israel and prime Minister Netanyahu believes are has said and certainly in this as i say, almost word for Word Transcription that we got from israeli Affiliate Israel Channel 12 and others in the israeli media is adamanT That israel must remain in control of this corridor between Gaza And Egypt to prevent hamas from rearming. And that is a Red Line that he has drawn and that he seems to be sticking with. And if that is indeed a nonstarter for hamas, as it seems to be, then there will be no deal no matter how optimistic or whatever optimistic pronouncements you get from President Biden or from Anyone Else who has their ear To The ground in terms of the these negotiations, these talks have been going on and off for nine months now, there has not been a deal and i suppose the conclusion that many have reached is that either means that netanyahu doesnt want to deal, or it means that yahya sinwar, the leader of hamas, doesnt want to deal. Well, that neither of them want a deal for their own personal reasons. Netanyahu too big for his own political reasons to keep his coalition together and sinwar because he believes that all he needs to do and how much needs to do is to survive and that the longer this war has dragged out, the more of a pariah, israel but will become in the eyes of the international community and the more delegitimized or the less legitimize is well, well be in the eyes of the world and a more likely it is that some kind of regional conflagration could erupt To The degree that sinwar, who of course was the architect of the october the seventH Terrorist attacks To The degree that he wanted to happen on october the seventh and didnt happen. And perhaps the longer this goes on, he feels the more likely it is that this will happen and which would stretch israels military to breaking point.

Only on verizon all i bring you uptodate now, the israeli military says it has recovered the bodies of six hostages in gaza. The parents of one, hersch goldberg, poland spoke at the Democratic National Convention last month just to give you an idea, heres some of what they said then at this moment 109 treasured Human Beings are being held hostage by hamas in gaza. They are christians, jews, Muslims Hindus and buddhists. They are affirmed 23 different countries the youngest hostage is a oneyearold redheaded Baby Boy and the oldest is an 86yearold mustachioed grandpa among the hostages are eight american citizens one of those americans is our only son his name is hersh. This is a political convention but needing our only son, and all of the cherished Hostages Home is not a political issue it is it is a humanitarian issue cnn military analyst, colonel Cedric Leighton joins me now, colonel, your reaction To These identifications and how these bodies were found in obviously a very painful time for those families yeah, it certainly is. Michael this is a very, very difficult time. I actually did have the honor of Meeting Hersch goldbergpolins parents when they were at cnn a few months ago, and i have To Tell you, they are incredibly dignified, coupled and my Heart Breaks for them. It is a very, very sad moment for them. And of course, for all the other Hostage Families is as far as the political and military aspects of this are concerned, michael, i think that this clearly shows that the diplomatic part of this did not move in the way that it should have to release these hostages. And as far as the military is concerned, they had achieved some success in releasing some hostages before such as the hostage the Bedouin Hostage, the israeli Bedouin Hostage who was released a few weeks ago. But this is definitely a failure. I would say of the system and it shows that there are going to be some consequences. I think for the israeli political leadership as a result of this primary goal was often stated to be the release of the hostages. And when six of them die, i wouldnt what seems To To be a situation where it happened within a fairly recent time thaT That is something that is going to create some some real difficulties. I believe when it comes To The Military Campaign itself, i mean, Benjamin Netanyahu has said all along that he will not waver from his aims, which is the Fleet Destruction of hamas and the release of the hostages as well, hostages being found dead. Theres still dozens that are being held by hamas still fires rockets every now and then their senior leadership is largely intact. Them were 11 months in can Benjamin Netanyahu how stated aims even be achieved in a military sense ive long thoughT That it could not be in the reasons for that michael is that its very hard and really impossible to eradicated an ideology and thats the kind of Situation Israelis are finding themselves in right now. Theyre trying to eradicate ideology. And theyre also trying to release the hostages and either free them through military means or through negotiation. I and in many cases, those are incompatible goals and really have to pick one you Cant Pick Bo with when youre in a situation like this. And thats the problem. I think they tried to pick both and i think that is basically a failure now, they can recover in some ways by really changing their goals in the military sense and concentrating on getting the remaining hostages released, which would mean a more diplomatic approach but what they have right now is not sufficient which eve, either the destruction of hamas or the release of the hostages the other thing To That we know are thirdly been reported that at least some of the hostages who were killed were actually killed by israeli bombardments. Speak To The difficulties in that environment of knowing what youre bombing when the hostages are underground this is one of the biggest problems, the biggest challenges for a Military Force like the idf in a situation like this. For one thing, you have an urban terrain that is extremely densely populated and do you have a foe that it has means of hiding not only the hostages, but their own installations in many different ways. And as we can see now the efforts by the idf over these 11 months theyve often had to retrace their steps over many parts of gaza. Gaza is relatively small area but because of its density, the density of the population the density of the Tunnel Network that hamas has been able to establish and other factors. Its been very difficult for the israelis To Truly physically eradicate these structures, especially the tunnels. And theyve also had difficulty eradicated become hamass leadership. Theyve of course achieved some success in that regard on a temporary basis. But as far as a permanent basis is concerned, its very difficult. So this makes it really an intelligence challenge. And every now and then the israelis have been successful in getting some of the hostages out because of good intelligence but it is something that has to be basically a synchronized operation. And sometimes that synchronization, it seems to not have worked as well as it should have. That is the synchronization between the diplomatic, the military, and the intelligence spheres yeah. Yeah. Well, put, always good to see you, sir. Thank you so much, Cedric Leighton, there all right, and we will be back with more news.

Now, the news that the bodies were found angered many Family Members of hostages, who as you see there, protested in Tel Aviv On Saturday. The group missing Families Forum issued a Statement Saying, quote, netanyahu, abandon the hostages, referring To The Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Theyre calling for the public to mobilize. And for the israeli Prime Minister to sign the Ceasefire Hostage Release agreemenT That he has so far failed to agree to alright. Im joined now by retired u. S. Army Major General Mark Mccarley these hostages were found underground in tunnels. Speak To The difficulty of a Military Operation when that is where your hostages are being killed john any operation, what we call subterranean operation, is one of the most difficult Ground Operations that any soldier can participate in certainly the planning necessary the equipment, the personnel that have to be committed to one, locate these hostages, locate these hostages based on perhaps in Intel Intelligence that is not clear. For the very difficult circumstances that any soldier who has asked to find himself or herself in these tunnels facing an enemy who could be around the corner. All those make subterranean operations, as i indicated. So terribly different and thats what we saw here. Yeah. I think, a lot of people perhaps dont appreciate how Small Gaza is. Ive been there many times. Its it maybe 24 miles long. It is anywhere from five To Ten miles wide its very small place, very concentrated densely populated witH The amount of bombing that has gone on to, that surely does put hostages at risk, correct . Absolutely. You just have To Take a look, either from Open Source or from other sources of intel and look at the tremendous damage that destruction the areas within gaza, which idf forces have basically leveled towns. So what youre seeing, are Rubble Piles and its a quite simple deduction when you see Rubble Piles on top of entries To Tunnels that just complicates this whole operation. We call these Operations Rescue operations within a subterranean setting. But again, they are horrifically dangerous and very, very difficult and spoke to Cedric Leighton about this just a little while ago when you look at the overall Military Campaign, 11 months in, in this very small area would you consider it a success . Some in the aims would to destroy hamas and get hostages out is over 100 hostages unaccounted for and the Hamas Leadership the top leadership still exists youre asking the most important question that can be put not only to me as an observer in a student of warfare, but To Those principles both hamas and israel, who are perpetuating this war theres no sucH Thing right now as victory. Theres no one who can legitimately stand up on the israeli side and say that israel has succeeded in this campaign is very recovery of those six bodies indicates that there are still continuing challenges that have not been resolved. And thats why you can see theres political avalanche of parents friends, relatives of the hostages gathering in Tel Aviv and other cities. And basically demanding thaT Something be done and that of course be execution of at least some sort of document to allow a ceasefire. And give a bit in order to get the release of the remaining 101 or so hostages that theres some belief are still in those tunnels are in hamass custody usama, i mean, Major General Mark Mccarley, general.

S. Vice president Kamala Harris, just releasing a statement about the death of one of those hostages, the american hersh Goldberg Polin. He was one whose body was recovered saturday in gaza. I just want to quote Kamala Harris our she said this Quote Dog and my prayers are with Jon Polin and rachel golan goldberg, polin, hershs parents and with everyone who knew and loved hersh, when i met jon and rachel earlier this year, i told them, you are not alone. That remains true as they mourn this terrible loss americans and people around the world will pray for jon, rachel and their family and send them love and strength. As it said in the jewisH Tradition, may hershs memory be a blessing . Journalist Elliott Gotkine joins me again, live from london with more on the story now you were listening into what the idf was saying earlier about this, giving some more details about this, what have you learned . Michael its going to perhaps be even less than fair To The families to learn from Daniel Hagari, the Idf Spokesman, saying that yes, these hostages were in his words, brutally murdered by hamas terrorists but saying that this was a short while. Before we reacH Them, that will perhaps make It Even harder. If it can be harder to swallow into comprehend what has happened To Their Loved Ones, knowing that they were so close in fact, Daniel Hagari, the Idf Spokesman adding that these bodies were discovered in a Tunnel Under refer in the Rafah Area of the southern part of the Gaza Strip, about a kilometer away from where the israeli Bad Bedouin Hostage Farhan Alqadi was rescued. A few days ago so they were looking perhaps more so in that area to adding that they were taking more care and to allow for the possibility that when theyre fighting that, there would be hostages nearby u. N. In fact, hagari adding that there was during combat in rafah, they were fighting above ground. It was then that they found these bodies in this tunnel these six israeli hostages, who have now been confirmed as dead, michael, tell us more about what were learning about those those killed so look as you said, perhaps the most highprofile, not just because he was in israeliamerican, but also because there were quite startling images of him being loaded onTo The back of a truck with half of his left arm blown off on october the seventh, except itself as a result of the hamasled Terrorist Attacks. This is hersh Goldberg Polin he was 23yearsold is really american and he was at this Nova Music Festival where hundreds of people were gunned down and where the majority of those who were kidnapped were taken because it was just happening on the outskirts. Of the Gaza Strip, ed in your show me 24yearold woman was working as a bartender at the Nova Music Festival she was actually widely reported to be on the phone with her sister, with our family while she was hiding from the hamas militants as they were rampaging througH The Nova Music Festival. And that she was eventually captured while she was on the phone to her sister Carmel Gat thirtynineyearold. She was taken while visiting family in kibbutz beeri, one the kibbutzim, the kind of farming communes that surround the Gaza Strip in which we also devastated on october the seventh, almost surrogacy, 20 and alex lobanov, whose wife was widely reported to have given birth while he was in Activity Elliott appreciate, the update. There are keeping across the very latest for us, Elliott Gotkine, thanks so much. Well talk to you next hour as well alright. Are different story from gaza. The first group of babies have now received Polio Vaccinations in gaza as a massive u. N campaign to vaccinate more than 640,000 children gets underway in a war zone. This comes after israel and hamas agreed to pauses in fighting in three phases. Beginning sunday through september 12, but palestinian health officials have stressed a permanent ceasefire is whats needed for the Vaccination Campaign To Truly succeed. Gaza had nearuniversal Polio Vaccine Coverage before the war. That has now dropped alright, glad louise water, it is the senior Communications Officer for the Un Relief And Works Agency or unrwa. She joins me now from gaza. Thanks so much for doing this plan is phases with pauses, but those pauses or for a few hours at a time when you look at the matH To vaccinate 650,000 kids under the age of ten its literally thousands of kids in our under those rules, how enormous the task ahead is It Even doable . Yes, its an incredibly enormous task, incredibly complex. Were giving Everything Weve got towards this, these children needs to be vaccinated, as you say, 640,000 children. This is an estimate we dont know very sadly, how many children have been killed, how many children are under the rubble . We dont have the exact but numbers in this first phase, we are aiming for 156,000 children in this middle area where i am to be vaccinated, our teams are already mobilized. They are in Health Facilities, they are immobile points. They are going tent To Tent, and theyre going to be out for the next four days trying to do this in this middle area. Right now, its quiet on the ground. Were very hopeful this will last. Were hopeful these humanitarian pauses will continue we have to see over the coming days as this unfolds, of course, the question of why did polio emerge in the first place is easily answered question. Israels Bombardment Lead to all five of gaza this is Wastewater Treatment plants being shot down, Desalination Plants as well, clean water storage. Theres sewage in the streets and restrictions on hygiene Supplies Polio spreads through contaminated Water Or Food and pretty much all of gaza is contaminated how dire are the risks . I mean, the conditions here, just as you describe, it, is horrific. Families are living in these makeshift shelters there on the floor. Many of them in very small confined areas. They just they dont have homes. Nobody here is a home anymore that they are surrounded by animals that are spreading disease he that right . My says rats cockroaches mosquitoes. The sewage is running througH The streets, would not been able to clear the Trash And Sewage for months on end all the infrastructure here is damaged, destroyed, or we simply cannot access it. These conditions are exactly what the disease needs to spread and its, its one thing. Yes, we are going to be able to roll out this vaccination. Were going to do everything we can, but we also need a ceasefire to reverse these conditions. People need to live in a humane environment. They cannot continue to live in these conditions. Children are going back tO Our Health Facilities witH The parents. Theyve got rashes, theyve got skin diseases, and we can put a bandaid on these things, but we cannot treat the problem because the conditions are the same and then importantly, polio does not respect borders. It could easily get outside gaza you touched on something and were almost out of time, but i wanted to ask you about the broader issue of diseases, not just polio, the w. H. O. Has reported as they put it respiratory infections, diarrhea, scabies, lice, skin rashes, chickenpox of Jaundice And Hepatitis and more how big is the overall threat of disease, polio and others . Children and families here, at severe risk. Weve been warning this for the last ten months. You know, its all go swearin just finished august the middle of summer. Weve only got the conditions they just keep getting worse every day. Weve had the heat of summer. Weve had people living in these shelters in these conditions our next year is going to be winter witH The rains coming witH The sewage, Water Flooding the areas that families are living. These diseases will only spread further and spread wider because of these conditions. So we really, really need a ceasefire not only for the civilians here and the families and children here, also for the hostages, the hostages have to go home To Their families. A ceasefire is the only option in the Gaza Strip now, otherwise, youre going to see things will continue to get worse. Yeah, its hard to imagine them getting worse, but its certainly possible. Louise water it with unrwa. Thank you so much for your time and thanks for the work that youre doing there. Urgent, important work. Thank you. Thank you im michael holmes.
