We will look at what it all means. And one Word Ofsted Ratings for schools will be scrapped in england. The Prime Minister says the new System Wont be confusing for parents. And what next for germany . The minister urges no support for the far right party. In israel prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu says he is begging Forforgiveness Afterfailing to bring home six hostages whos bodies were recovered from gaza. He says hamas will pay a very heavy price. We were very close, he said, we were nearly there. But in a televised address, Mr Netanyahu remained defiant in his demand that israeli troops must continue to control the Philadelphi Corridor in the south of Gaza Something hamas has rejected. The Philadelphi Corridor along the Egypt Gaza Border has emerged as a primary Sticking Point in Gaza Ceasefire talks. Mr netanyahu said its a Life Line for hamas, their oxygen and it will determne israels future. Lets hear some of what Mr Netanyahu said. I am begging for your forgiveness. That we did not succeed bringing them home alive. We were very close. Nearly there. And i would like to repeat once again this evening. Israel will not move on to our normal agenda after that massacre. Hamas will pay a very heavy price for it. The war against this Axis Of Evil in this specific war against hamas. And of course, that doesnt bring about a deal whatsoever. But the first crack was when we went into rafah and we took over the Philadelphia Corridor and the rafah, um, trans over the Philadelphi Corridor and the rafah, um, trans over the Philadelphi Corridor and the rafah transit point, because that was literally their way. They actually could breathe and their oxygen. They were hoping that iran or his brother they were hoping that Iran Or Hezbollah would come and save them. Now that theyre hoping that international pressure would now extricate them from that situation. But the only effective change that would be enabled would be if we hold on to the Philadelphi Corridor and not vacate it, not evacuated, because once we Leave It, well never be able to go back. That is a sense of whats Benjamin Netanyahu were saying in that address in the last two hours or so. President biden has said that a final deal for a ceasefire and the release of hostages held in gaza is very close to being presented to israel and hamas by mediators. But he told reporters he did not think that the israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was doing enough to secure an agreement. Mr biden spoke to reporters as he arrived at the White House to meet us negotiators. Lets have a listen. Are you planning to present a final Hostage Deal this week . We are very close to that. What makes you we are very close to that. What makes you think we are very close to that. What makes you think this we are very close to that. What makes you think this deal we are very close to that. What makes you think this Deal Will. Makes you think this Deal Will be successful in the way the others were not .

Do you think its time for prime Minister Netanyahu to do more for prime Minister Netanyahu to do more on this issue . Do you think do more on this issue . Do you think he do more on this issue . Do you think he is do more on this issue . Do you think he is doing enough . So no. To israel itself now. There has been criticism by many thousands of people in israel aimed at prime Minister Netanyahu. These are live pictures from jerusalem. They are urging fairly did to do more to bring the hostages home. There have been protests on The Streets in Tel Aviv as well, happening right now. They were taking place during the televised address. A strike went ahead earlier until a court ordered people to end it and return to work. The industrial action caused Flight Delays and hit medical centres, schools and businesses. Israels protesters and their Prime Minister are old acquaintances. Calls for a Hostage Deal have brought long established opponents onto The Streets, but the shooting of six hostages in a Gaza Tunnel last week has broadened this movement, they say. And the mass demonstrations in Tel Aviv Last Night were a turning point. I think the news of the six hostages, the fact that they were alive, and murdered right before they could have been saved, that broke it. After Last Nights mass protest, people are back on The Streets again. There were growing public and political demands on israels Prime Minister to make a deal, but Benjamin Netanyahu, protected by his parliamentary majority, isnt listening. But then, much of the Country Isnt protesting. The one day general strike today, largely unobserved, even in left leaning Tel Aviv. A court ruled that the strike was political and ended it. These protests are part of the well established opposition to israels Prime Minister, analysts say, and so far, little threat to him. I think that netanyahu knows better than i do, the best thing is to let it play as a safety valve. To do some ventilation, and let people say, we hate you, you are a murderer, enough is enough. Two of the protest� s most vocal activists were not in The Street today, but in the parents of a hostage, burying their son. For 23 years, i was privileged to have the most stunning honour, to be hershs mama. I will take it and say thank you. Ijust wish it had been for longer. Tonight injerusalem, the demonstrations began again. Mr netanyahu is used to opposition on The Street, but he is also facing demands from the us president and his own defence minister. Those demands may be harder to ignore. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. Aaron David Miller is a Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for international peace think tank.

Can i ask you on pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu me. Can i ask you on pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu from | on Benjamin Netanyahu from people in his own country on The Streets yet again right now and from the us president Joe Biden . What is your assessment of his position . Is a biden . What is your assessment of his position . Of his position . Is a rare combination of his position . Is a rare combination of of his position . Is a rare combination of massive | of his position . Is a rare combination of massive public protests, the israeli Ministry Of Defence openly charging during a time of war and a cabinet that the Prime Minister is advocating is moral responsibility and failing to make a choice. You have the Philadelphi Corridor you can free the hostages. But i have to say, the reason we are where we are is because in negotiations only when two parties believe there is urgency to close when the advantages of closing the deal outweigh the disadvantages of keeping it open to have an agreement and for the last three days, you have seen a Demonstration And Absence of urgency. The decision by hamas issued instructions presumably on the approach of idf soldiers keeping in mind the israeli operation in central gaza. That act in myjudgment has created enormous work for netanyahu to manoeuvre and it has constricted the margin for pressure for the bride to administration. The second was administration. The second was a Press Conference Today in which he turned the Philadelphi Corridor literally into the fulcrum of Western Civilisation and the only alternative, in order to beat the access of evil, a quote from George W Bushin evil, a quote from George W Bush in his speech in the wake of 9 11. So i think these two leaders are simply unwilling, able but unwilling to make the kind of arrangements and concessions necessary to even get to a phase one deal which i still believe is doable. Still believe is doable. Youve laid out their still believe is doable. Youve laid out their clearly still believe is doable. Youve laid out their clearly without l laid out their clearly without a great deal of optimism but i will ask anyway. You had President Biden saying he has a deal ready to put to both sides are pretty close. When you hear that, it sounds like given the position they put themselves in, there is not much chance of that happening anytime soon. I that happening anytime soon. I think if the administration puts his last chance final proposal on the table, unless barring some sudden change of heart, it seems they will get the administration will get at best a yes but. And if the administration believes this is truly the best chance and they do get that, what will the ministry do . It will stop negotiating . Stop engaging . Ive seen this many times. You should only put a final proposal on the table and if in fact the parties are not prepared to accept it, you need to be serious about walking away and frankly, i dont think the biden administration in the next 70 days in anticipation of one of the most consequential elections in modern American History has the Luxury Or Option of walking away. We are in a Cul De Sac of negotiators with no easy or quick way out. We must Leave It there but i appreciate new lending us your Expertise And Insight into those negotiations. A final significant update. Meanwhile this afternoon, the uk foreign secretary, David Lammy has announced a partial suspention of Arms Exports to israel following a review into the Countrys Compliance within international law when taking Military Action in gaza. Lets take a listen to that announcement. The assessment i have received leaves me unable to conclude anything other than that for certain Uk Arms exports to israel, there does exist a clear risk that they might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law. I have informed my right honourable friend, the Business And Trade secretary, and he is therefore today announcing the suspension of around 30 from a total of approximately 350 to israel as required under the export controls act. 0ur political Correspondent Harry farleyjoins me now live from westminster. Good to see you. We should put this in some kind of context. The Uk Isnt a great exporter to israel in this Regard And Isnt a complete Ban Or Anything like that but politically, took us through the significance. Politically, took us through the significance. Thats right. Its important the significance. Thats right. Its important to the significance. Thats right. Its important to make the significance. Thats right. Its important to make the i its important to make the point, it is not an Arms Embargo or a complete ban on weapons exports. You had their saying is about 30 of 350 existing licences. But as you say, politically this is a sensitive for the Labour Party because they lost several seats they would have otherwise been expected to win in the general election earlier this year to candidates is largely standing on pro gaza tickets, particularly campaigning on the issue. Since David Lammy was speaking a few hours ago, the government has published a summary of how it made that decision to suspend some Arms Licences and crucially it says its not simply based on Israels Conduct in gaza, despite the mass casualties of the conflict in gaza, it has not been possible to reach a judgment on allegations regarding Israels Conduct of hostilities. This is based on other factors, hostilities. This is based on otherfactors, humanitarian other factors, humanitarian assessment the otherfactors, humanitarian assessment the government has done is israel has not done enough, all that it could, to allow humanitarian aid into civilians in gaza and the assessment says they have incredible claims of mistreatment of detainees and the Volume And Consistency of these allegations suggest at least some instances of Mistreatment Contrary to humanitarian law. So the decision has been based on that concern that there is not enough humanitarian aid getting through to gaza not simply based on Israels Conduct in gaza. ~ based on Israels Conduct in gaza. , thank you.
