Al nasser had been at the centre of an Israeli Military operation until two weeks ago. The World Health Organisation has previously said bodies were being buried within hospitals under israeli siege, but palestinians have accused Israeli Forces of killing some of the victims. Israel accuses hamas of using medical facilities as command centres. Lets get more on all of this with our middle east correspondent, yolande knell. Hello to you. Lets start with the background, the reports that the us might sanction a section of the Israeli Military. Might sanction a section of the Israeli Military. Thats right. This is the netzah Israeli Military. Thats right. This is the Netzah Yehuda Israeli Military. Thats right. This is the Netzah Yehuda battalion, l is the Netzah Yehuda battalion, historically operating in the occupied west bank, and they have just been reports suggesting that the us, because it is looking to comply with its own legislation that says that its aid must not be used by Foreign Military units that have carried out human rights violations, there have been these reports indicating that us military aid, of course it is extremely substantial amounts, several billions of dollars amounts, several billions of dollars a year, to israel, could be cutjust for this one particular unit, it is a combat unit that was set up historically to bring ultraorthodox jewish men into the Israeli Military. Now, already we have had israeli political leaders and Military Leaders coming out in response to this really saying it is unfair and shouldnt happen in a time of war. The Israeli Military saying this is a unit that does comply with international law. The israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying that he will fight against this. But this is a particular unit that has been associated in the past with some high profile in particular two years ago the death in detention of a palestinian american, an elderly man who was picked up at a checkpoint and then he was blindfolded and gagged and found dead after Israeli Soldiers left that area. At the time the Israeli Military said it didnt see there was grounds for a criminal prosecution, they said he was a man who had Underlying Health issues. But there has been really an ongoing issue around what is the conduct of Israeli Forces in the west bank. In this war in gaza we have had a lot of tensions between the us and its close ally israel over the conduct of military personnel. fix, close ally israel over the conduct of military personnel. Close ally israel over the conduct of military personnel. A news line has come out of military personnel. A news line has come out in of military personnel.

The Israeli Military is saying that he will stay in place until his successor can be chosen and can take over from him. But really it is interesting what you said, he talked about how the Intelligence Division did not live up Intelligence Division did not live up to the task we are entrusted with and also call for the establishment of a state Investiture Committee to look into the failings in depth that led to those attacks, that made them possible in the 7th of october. Possible in the 7th of october. Investigative committee. Yolande knell, middle east correspondent, thank you. The uk government says its determined that its bill to allow some Asylum Seekers to be sent to rwanda should face no further delays. It says members of both the upper and lower chambers of parliament will have to keep voting until its approved. The government hopes the policy will stop people trying to make the dangerous English Channel crossing on small boats. So far this year, more than 6,000 migrants have made the journey. The Prime Minister will hold a Press Conference in about an hour and a half. Well take you live to that when it happens. Joining me now from the Rwandan Capital Kigali is our africa correspondent Barbara Plett usher, and our Political Correspondent harry farley is In Westminster for us. Good morning to both of you. Hello, both of you. Barbara plett usher, first in kigali, if i could turn to you and ask what the view is there, all of this debate happening, Press Conference happening in an hour and a half, how is this being viewed in kigali . A half, how is this being viewed in kiuali . ,. , kigali . The government here has Laruel Kigali . The government here has largely stood kigali . The government here has largely stood back kigali . The government here has largely stood back and kigali . The government here has largely stood back and watched l kigali . The government here has l largely stood back and watched the legal and political wrangling in the uk, saying that that is a process for britain, they welcome debate and so on, but in the meantime they have stressed they are ready to receive these migrants at a moments notice when and if they are allowed to arrive. And certainly the hostel that has been prepared to receive them has been standing ready for nearly two years now. The Rwandan Government has been making changes to its law to address concerns raised by the British Supreme Court about the safety of the migrants here, in particular about the risk of them being deported back to countries from which they fled, and so on. The government also has strongly objected to being called unsafe, which is something they say just isnt true, they say they have a very good Safety Record and that is certainly true when it comes to crime. There had been an unwelcome spotlight put on allegations that the government does suppress dissent here. When it comes to people on the ground, ithink here. When it comes to people on the ground, i think really there isnt as much attention paid to it here as there is in the uk. But in terms of there is in the uk. But in terms of the views, i would say they are largely economic. So some people would say it is going to be good for the economy to have migrants coming, especially as many of them are expected to stay here, they bring new blood, they bring new ideas, they will be consumers, and so on. On the other hand, others say actually rwanda is a small, densely populated country, we dont have enough jobs and land for those of us here already and this is just going to increase the competition for them. That is the view also of the Opposition Party here. You them. That is the view also of the Opposition Party here. Them. That is the view also of the Opposition Party here. You have kind of answer the Opposition Party here. You have kind of answer the question Opposition Party here. You have kind of answer the question i Opposition Party here. You have kind of answer the question i was Opposition Party here. You have kind of answer the question i was going l of answer the question i was going to ask, which is in terms of the rwandan people, what is it for them, what is in it for them, if you like . I what is in it for them, if you like . ~ what is in it for them, if you like . ~. , what is in it for them, if you like . ~. , ,. Like . I think that that is very much the focus when like . I think that that is very much the focus when it like . I think that that is very much the focus when it comes like . I think that that is very much the focus when it comes to like . I think that that is very much the focus when it comes to the the focus when it comes to the migrant deal itself, they are wondering how this is going to work with the economy here because jobs, as we have been told by the people who are on the ground, are in short supply so they are wondering about that. One of the men with whom we spoke didnt want to be identified when he gave that view because it opposed Government Policy, which also reflects a sort of undercurrent of uneasiness here about the descent exactly. It is something again that the kigali government denies, but the kigali government denies, but the uk authorities have said or acknowledged that there are some restrictions on Freedom Of Speech and freedom of assembly. Dissent. They do not believe the migrants core anybody relocating here are likely to face ill treatment. Barbara plett usher, thank you for the moment. Harry farley is In Westminster for us. The moment. Harry farley is In Westminsterfor us. This is a complicated process. Take us through, for those who perhaps are not too familiar with how parliament works, what is going to happen this afternoon . In works, what is going to happen this afternoon . ,. , afternoon . In the uk there is two houses, afternoon . In the uk there is two houses. The afternoon . In the uk there is two houses, the house afternoon . In the uk there is two houses, the house of afternoon . In the uk there is two houses, the House Of Commons | afternoon . In the uk there is two i houses, the House Of Commons and afternoon . In the uk there is two houses, the House Of Commons and the House Of Lords, the House Of Lords is the second chamber, the revising chamber as it were, the House Of Commons is the elected one with mp5. It has been bouncing between the two for several months now. You heard from Barbara Plett usher how long this policy has been in the offing, more than two years, but its been more than two years, but its been more than two years, but its been more than four months since this bill first came to parliament. What has happened now is the House Of Lords have tabled some amendments, some changes, some suggested rewording of the bill. It has gone back to the House Of Commons, and mps are expected to overturn and get rid of those changes this afternoon and send it back to the lords. From what im hearing from speaking to people in the House Of Lords, particularly opposition peers, labour peers in the House Of Lords, they are in no mood to back down and they are in no mood to back down and they will reinsert their suggested changes. They want to see some sort of a compromise on what they want to see on those suggested changes. It will then bounce between House Of Commons and House Of Lords, it is called ping pong, so it will ping and pong between the two houses until the House Of Lords backs down, and it largely depends on a group of crossbench or independent peers in the House Of Lords as to when or how long they are prepared to keep going and when at some point they will give up. We are expecting a late night In Westminster tonight with the Prime Minister saying he wants to get it done today. The Prime Minister saying he wants to get it done today. Indeed and he is due to give to get it done today. Indeed and he is due to give a to get it done today. Indeed and he is due to give a press to get it done today. Indeed and he is due to give a Press Conference i to get it done today. Indeed and he is due to give a Press Conference inj is due to give a Press Conference in the next hour and a half or so, thats presumably the message we will be expecting to hear . Will be expecting to hear . Thats riaht will be expecting to hear . Thats ri. Ht and will be expecting to hear . Thats right and he will be expecting to hear . Thats right and he has will be expecting to hear . Thats right and he has previously will be expecting to hear . Thats| right and he has previously urged the House Of Lords in his words, not to frustrate the will of the people. I think it is worth saying are busy there is opposition from labour peers in the House Of Lords. There are serious concerns from those independents, those crossbench peers, and some conservatives as well in House Of Lords, some fears this bill seeking to address the concerns of the Supreme Court which were raised when they ruled this Government Policy to send some Asylum Seekers arriving illegally here in the uk to rwanda. The Supreme Court ruled that was unlawful last year and thats what this bill is trying to address, trying to say rwanda is safe and trying to say rwanda is safe and trying to say rwanda is safe and trying to block further legal challenges. What we dont know yet at this stage is exactly how many people will be sent to rwanda, when that will happen after the bill is passed, will it be a matter of weeks or months . And also how many flights will be able to get off before the general election. We are expecting that in the uk at some point later this year. That in the uk at some point later this ear. ,. , this year. Harry farley In Westminster, this year. Harry farley In Westminster, im this year. Harry farley In Westminster, im sure i this year.

For the moment, lets turn to ukraine. President zelensky says the 61 billion military aid package approved by american lawmakers will give his country a chance of victory in its war against russia. In an interview on American Television he said more weapons would help kyiv retake the initiative especially long range missiles. Ukrainian forces have been coming under increasing pressure recently in
