like the us or the uk? no, i hope they will and let's be l hope they will and let's be clear, i mean, iwas what hope they will and let's be clear, i mean, i was what of the first leaders to call the prime minister and president of israel after the terrorist attack, seven october. we clearly condemned the terrorist attack and terrorist group and recognise the right of israel to protect itself and react. but dave one with the reaction and fight against terrorism, because it is led by a democracy should be complied with international rules. all of war and in many international law. and day after day what we saw is permanent bombing of civilians in gaza. and i think it is very important to see the whole story but i — i think this is the only solution we have. the ceasefire. because it is impossible to explain, we want to fight against terrorism by killing innocent people? you have talked _ killing innocent people? you have talked about _ killing innocent people? you have talked about the fight against terrorism needing to be merciless, is a word to use, but not without rules. you have just referred there to the height loss of civilian life in gaza. do you think israel is respecting those rules, the international rules that you are referring to? look, in the very first days, it is clear that the emotion, the compassion created a situation where everybody was just close to israel and backing them and sharing the pain. and we do share their pain and we do share their pain and we do share their pain and we do share their willingness to get rid of terrorism. we know what terrorism means in france. but i think there is no justification precisely to attack civilian. but what i would like to clarify with you, are you saying israel is guilty of breaking international humanitarian law, (cross talk) i think it is not the proper way to approach the question. we do recognise their right to protect themselves and one—month after this terrorist attack i think it would be not the right way to deal with a partner and friend just to say you will be condemned inaudible de facto today civilians are bombed, de facto there are babies and ladies and old people are bombed and killed. there is no reason for that. french president emmanuel macron there talking to our bbc correspondence. the conflict has going to growing anger and unrest in the wider region and other biden administration reportedly receive dark warnings from american diplomats in the arab board that its strong support for israel's military campaign in israel's military campaign in israel is losing... the cable underscores profound concern among american officials about the growing anger among the united states and my i colleague put these concerns to the us ambassador to turkey. ambassador, we are seeing now these four hours daily pauses in the fighting, negotiations towards a longer pause in the fighting but israel is still rejecting a ceasefire. do you see this then as the first step toward somehow slowing or stopping this conflict? not necessarily because i don't understand what the focus is on stopping this conflict. the most important thing in the middle east today is that hamas be destroyed as a governing and particularly military force in gaza. that is not only the view of the israelis it still is the view of the united states and our european allies and i think many arab capital. the horrendous human cost of the struggle is something that needs to be brought under control but we should not let the whole purpose of this fighting be dismissed because of the real concerns about the humanitarian situation. more than 10,000 people have died in gaza during this fight and so how can israel carry out this operation as you have said you seed is absolutely necessary to eradicate max. how can the israelis do so without such an incredible, immense loss of human life?— incredible, immense loss of human life? . , ., human life? there are ways and i think the _ human life? there are ways and | think the united _ human life? there are ways and i think the united states -

response to that? that may be but again what i have not - response to that? that may be| but again what i have not heard and it has been many days since tony lincoln, secretary of state has said it either, that the whole purpose of this fighting is to defeat the hamas to the existence of israel. —— must threat and i don't know how they are going to do that if they stop fighting. ambassador, what about the analyst to make the point that defeating hamas politically and militarily is going to be extremely difficult to achieve? that is what i call a classic counterterrorism argument. it has a lot of validity but it's wrong. it is wrong because it is exactly what we did not do in the obama and trump administration against the islamic state and i a person responsible inaudible on the us government. inaudible on the us covernment. ~ on the us government. we took them on as _ on the us government. we took them on as a — on the us government. we took them on as a military _ on the us government. we took them on as a military force, - them on as a military force, them on as a military force, the primary goal with the attacks into moselle, the attacks into moselle, the attacks into moselle, the attacks into rucker and syria and other battles was to destroy it as a governing and military force capable of threatening literally the existence of iraq. and the existence of iraq. and the existence of iraq. and the existence of our syrian democratic voices, friends in syria. we accomplish that and there are still 15,000 of them, they operate as terrorist cells. their ideology is still there. i'm sure that will be there. i'm sure that will be the case with hamas. it won't be able to do in the future what it did to israel on seven octoberjust like the islamic state was not able to rollover half of iraq like it did in 2014 and will not be able to. that is the purpose the israelis are trying to accomplish. but i also want to ask about the region. cnn reported that the biden administration has received stark warnings from american diplomats in the arab world that its strong support for israel's military campaign in gazais israel's military campaign in gaza is arab publics away from the us for a generation. what you think that? gill is an american diplomat who has spent much of my time in the middle east, i appreciate my colleagues providing honest and true reporting. i will have to say however that i never thought we the arab street, arab public�*s support when i was in iraq and that's was well after fighting was in iraq and that's was well afterfighting had ended, we were down around 10— 50% of the population indicated something positive about our. we have seen the same reactions, they are more severe now, but we saw them in 2003, we saw them in 1991 with the first gulf war and we even saw it after 2001 with our actions in afghanistan. i do not want to belittle these, these are very important developments and they are a concern but that should not be the primary driver of washington decision—making. ambassador, if there is a push for peace, if there is to be an end to this conflict, and the us then be an honest broker in the region, given what you've just said? yell we made a huge mistake with strategically devastating effects on the region in 2003, going into iraq. and you remember how we condemned. look at the role we have played in the region and elsewhere, such as mobilising the whole east asian community against china's threat to taiwan's. look what we have donein taiwan's. look what we have done in ukraine. i think we will take its diplomatically. i would point at two things, one, the six arab countries that we have diplomatic relations and economic ties with israel and the seventh leaven on has a recent offshore gas deal with israel, none of them have broken off any of their ties. they have pulled ambassador is undone and two other things but i still maintaining a relationship. ambassador, we will have to leave it there. thank you so much forjoining us on bbc news. that their leadersjoe biden and xi jinping will meet next week in the san francisco bay area. the summit will take place on the sidelines of the asia—pacific economic cooperation conference and it will be their second face—to—face meeting during biden's presidency, and it follows a sharp deterioration in relations earlier this year. a us official says the main goal of the meeting is to manage the relationship by ensuring communication channels are open, especially between their militaries. china cut off communication channels with the us after then house speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan in 2022. the biden administration has pressed to restore them after the us shutdown and alleged chinese spy balloon backin alleged chinese spy balloon back in february. earlier my colleague sumi somaskanda spoke to a state department correspondent barbara plett usher. , ,., usher. there might be some achievements _ usher. there might be some achievements like _ usher. there might be some achievements like maybe -
