In gaza. He's asked for forgiveness, but ruled out new concessions to hamas to secure the release of those still being held. His comments came as intense street protests over his handling of negotiations entered a second night in israel, including these demonstrations outside his office injerusalem. Lucy williamson has more from jerusalem. Israel's protesters and their prime minister are old acquaintances. Calls for a hostage deal have brought longestablished 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 night's mass protest, people are back on the streets again. There are growing public and political demands on israel's prime minister to make a deal, but benjamin netanyahu, protected by his parliamentary majority, isn't listening. Tonight mr netanyahu defied anyone to ask him to compromise now. These murderers executed six of our hostages, they shot them in the back of the head. That's what has changed. And now after this we are asked to show seriousness, we are asked to make concessions? what message does this send hamas? it says killed more hostages, murder more hostages, you'll get concessions. Kill. Mr neta nyahu isn't listening, but then much of the country isn't protesting. The oneday general strike today, largely unobserved, even in leftleaning tel aviv. These protests are part of the wellestablished opposition to israel's prime minister, say analysts, 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 cemetery, the parents of a hostage, burying their son. For 23 years, i was privileged to have the most stunning honour to be hersh*s mama. I will take it and say thank you. Ijust wish it had been for longer. Tonight they carried the burden of their prime minister through israel's streets. Empty coffins weighted with responsibility. But mr netanyahu is used to public protests. His speech tonight took aim instead at his defence minister, at the us president. Their demands for a deal much harder to ignore. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. Meanwhile, the israeli government says it's disappointed by the uk's decision to suspend some arms exports to israel. The british foreign secretary, david lammy, said there was a clear risk the equipment might be used in serious violations of international humanitarian law but insisted the move did not amount to an arms embargo. His israeli counterpart, israel katz, said the only beneficiaries would be hamas and iran. Here in the us, presidentjoe biden criticised prime minister netanyahu's approach to ceasefire negotiations, and discussed next steps to secure the release of hostages and secretary of state antony blinken and us negotiators. Joining me now is former us national security council officialjaved ali. Great to have you on the programme. What you make of the address prime minister netanyahu gay today asking for forgiveness but he was clear he wasn't willing to make concessions to hamas. Will his address quell some of the pressure he is under? nice to be with yom _ pressure he is under? nice to be with you. Not _ pressure he is under? nice to be with you. Not surprised i pressure he is under? nice to be with you. Not surprised byj be with you. Not surprised by the remarks from prime minister netanyahu. It seems to follow his line of thinking over the past several months which i believe has only grown further to the edges. Everyone inaudible wants this to go, a ceasefire, but it is unsurprising to hear that israel's position will remain tough, he is not in the mood for thinking about a compromise or ceasefire and continues to say his ultimate goal and perhaps those of some other members of his political coalition are the complete destruction of hamas, even though that does not seem to be near now, so so many competing tensions. . , near now, so so many competing tensions. . ,. , tensions. There was a big insistence _ tensions. There was a big insistence about tensions. There was a big insistence about an tensions. There was a big | insistence about an israeli presence in the strip of land in the gaza strip why has this become a sticking point now in these negotiations? that corridor is one _ these negotiations? that corridor is one of these negotiations? that corridor is one of these l these negotiations? that corridor is one of these parts of the physical geography in the gaza strip which is already small and densely packed which how mouse has previously explored on the ground to bring its equipment and weapons into the gaza strip, not the only place but a significant one. Looking at the fight over the last several months and the pressure israel has put on hamas may, this is probably another one of these parts of their battle space assessment they say if we can hold that order and continue to put pressure on other parts of hamas in this increasingly condensed physical terrain and the underground aspects of it too, that is a key point in the negotiation. On the flipside, apparently senior hamas officials have said that it is a nonstarter,, that they are not in the mood to negotiate or come to a resolution on the ceasefire, so you have these two very far apart positions are in this really narrow stretch of land, but it has been important in the past in terms of hamas's ability to operate as a terrorist organisation. x, operate as a terrorist organisation. Operate as a terrorist oruanisation. * , organisation. A sticking point but we heard _ organisation. A sticking point but we heard president organisation. A sticking point| but we heard president biden when asked by reporters on whether or not he thought enough was being done to reach a deal, he had a iword answer. He simply said no. It definitely seems the white house has become increasingly frustrated at prime minister netanyahu personally and the state of the conflict especially as we get to an election here in the us in a few months which as we all know. . . The israelgaza issue as a foreign policy matter has probably become the most contentious in this election cycle, so this is something, at least for the biden white house, they would like to see a ceasefire sooner than later. It will not mean everything is perfect obviously, but that does not seem to be. . . The potential does not seem to be clear any time soon and you are hearing from netanyahu the fight will continue and he is no in no need mood to negotiate with hamas, so the prospects for a ceasefire seem remote. Pm prospects for a ceasefire seem remote. *... remote. An emotional day in israel. Remote. An emotional day in israel we remote. An emotional day in israel. We saw _ remote.

We saw footage and speeches at the funeral had some of some of the hostages who were not brought back from basel gaza. To what extent has this change the way people view this conflict and potentially the way this government will go ahead? the brutal murder _ government will go ahead? tie: brutal murder of government will go ahead? tue: brutal murder of the six hostages, such a tragic event and these other tragedies the past several months outside the daily brutality what has happened to the palestinian civilians, but aid workers have been killed, israeli soldiers have been killed, other hostages have been killed and in these moments, there was also the potential for may be some kind of political resolution or compromise but that has not materialised in the past and, unfortunately, as was mentioned in the clip before, i do not think the brutal death of these six hostages will lead to that moment either. I think this fight will continue until prime minister netanyahu feels the objectives have been met and right now that does not seem to be the case. We right now that does not seem to be the case be the case. We also heard the prime minister _ be the case. We also heard the prime minister say _ be the case. We also heard the prime minister say how be the case. We also heard the prime minister say how mouse| prime minister say how mouse will pay a heavy price. He vowed to retaliate. hamas.

Probably the other thing prime minister netanyahu want to do is to kill sinwar, even though he is the political chief and the chief of hamas in the gaza strip. If israel can do that, may it brings them closer to the negotiating table but sinwar has managed to survive, but i think that is another objective for prime minister netanyahu. We appreciate your time. Thank you forjoining us. Venezuela's opposition leader is facing arrest, just over a month after the presidential election he claims to have won. In the past hour, a judge in the latin american country issued a warrant for the arrest of edmundo gonzalez, who stood against incumbent president nicolas maduro injuly*s general election. Prosecutors say mr gonzales usurped the function of venezuela's election authorities after his opposition coalition published a website with what it says are the true, detailed results of the election. That vote count showed an overwhelming victory for mr gonzales. Mr maduro's government published its own result showing a narrow win by the incumbent president, but it has not released a detailed vote tally. Few international observers were allowed to monitor the poll. Those that were said the election was neither free nor fair. I asked our latin america correspondent will grant how significant this arrest warrant is. I think it is a major ramping up of political tensions. We are talking about the man who stood against nicolas maduro a handful of weeks ago who the opposition called president elect gonzales, so sure are they of the electoral data they are published they say shows he won by more than 30%. This in essence is a step by a government backed, a governmentcontrolled agency to say, we do not recognise those figures. We do not recognise edmundo gonzalez and we have no intention of stepping down, nor will we leave him in peace. He has been hiding since the national electoral council found president maduro to be the winner ofjuly's election. What will that mean for the protest movement? it has been more than a month since election results were announced. How does this fit in with what have seen from the maduro government in terms of its reaction, its crackdown on the movement? in that time, we have seen the government arrest key members of the opposition alliance's teams, leadership teams, their campaign teams, we have seen videos posted because people have been arrested saying, there is your arrest warrant? simply nothing given, no reaction from the security forces who storm in and take them. Obviously mr gonzalez has been in hiding during that time for fears of his own well being and on the streets when people turned down in protest of of the claimed election result by the maduro government, more than 1500 people were arrested, some for simply having material that was antigovernment on their mobile phones, so i think this reiterates there is no position, whether or not it is another opposition figure, any member of the team, people on the streets. It doesn't matter who you are, if you are in opposition to the maduro government, the security forces and the government are prepared to arrest you, put you behind bars and double down in its position they won this election and has, as far as as i can see, very little intention of negotiating any exit or any other result other than the one they have already declared. In a separate development monday, us authorities seized a privatejet used by mr maduro. The plane was undergoing repairs in the dominican republic when it was impounded by american officials and flown to florida. Law enforcement officials say the jet had been exported from the us into venezuela secretly, and in violation of american sanctions. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
