Turkey has described her death as *a murder carried out by the netanyahu government'. President erdogan said he condemns what he called a barbaric attack by israel. Elsewhere in the occupied west bank, the israeli army has withdrawn from jenin after an operation lasting nearly ten days. The palestinian health ministry says 36 people were killed in one of israel's largest operations in the west bank in years. Residents were displaced as israeli forces damaged buildings and other infrastructure in the northern west bank. People are now returning home, though water and electricity remain mostly cut off injenin, from where lucy williamson sent this update. Israel's troops and bulldozers have leftjenin camp now but the impact they had is written all across the streets here. This camp was the heart of israel's sweep across the northern west bank. They were here for 9. 5 days and this morning is the first time that residents have been able to leave their homes, see the destruction around them or, in some cases, come back to homes that they fled days ago. Israel says this was a counterterrorist operation and it is clear that its target was the armed palestinian groups that are based here. But the methods it is using are what are raising alarm. That does notjust mean the civilians killed and injured but the level of destruction that are wrecking people's lives. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin camp. I spoke with hussein ibish, senior resident scholar at the arab gulf states institute in washington. How do you describe what we have been witnessing in the west bank? extreme provocation is the only term for it. I think israel, for whatever reason, has decided to throw the gloves off in the west bank and go after the armed youth groups especially injenin. I think there may be another operation like this elsewhere at some point, add another harm hotbed of armed young men unaffiliated with any of the larger groups. And i think there is a sense of heightened angen there is a sense of heightened anger, animosity and also paranoia that started to creep into the israeli behaviour in the west bank. It is notjust a matter of expanding settlements in provocative ways also of orchestrating a tax of the government, orchestrating attacks by israeli settlers that are like kooks clan style migrating things where villages are suddenly descended upon and innocent people are killed and stuff is destroyed and they disappear in the night. And now we have the shooting. If disappear in the night. And now we have the shooting. Ii i we have the shooting. If i could ask _ we have the shooting. If i could ask you, _ we have the shooting. If i could ask you, you are saying that these are settlers carrying out raid, you said that there are armed groups in the west bank. To what extent do they pose a threat to the communities there and to the idf? , a,. a idf? they have not posed much of a threat _ idf? they have not posed much of a threat to _ idf? they have not posed much of a threat to the _ idf? they have not posed much of a threat to the idf, _ idf? they have not posed much of a threat to the idf, they of a threat to the idf, they have not learned launched an insurgency that like the one that developed in gaza where hamas continues to prop up all over gaza and israelis have not destroyed everything above ground above value and they don't know what to do. And are being sucked into a quagmire of resurgence en counterinsurgency there. There is nothing like that in the west bank. It is a theoretical threat and, of course, they do engage occasionally and armed confrontation or sometimes criminal activity but it is the settlers, really, who have been on a rampage, not the armed palestinian gangs in the inner cities. *. , palestinian gangs in the inner cities. *. ,, cities. And we have seen the us im osed cities. And we have seen the us imposed sanctions _ cities. And we have seen the us imposed sanctions on _ cities. And we have seen the us imposed sanctions on some imposed sanctions on some extremist settlers and fighting does continuing gaza and the dispute over the gaza egypt border seems to be a roadblock to a ceasefire. Where do you assess where things stand right now? i assess where things stand right now? ~ ,. .. now? i think it is clear that prime minister _ now? i think it is clear that prime minister netanyahu| now? i think it is clear that prime minister netanyahu does not want anything to do with this potential ceasefire, probably because he fears, realistically, that if there were six weeks of relative calm that also produce prisoner exchanges in the release of hostages and things like that, that would be pleasing on both sides of the equation and it looked like, you know, both parties were getting more from talking and making deals and continuing fighting then he might get dragged into a permanent ceasefire that would allow hamas to reemerge in gazais allow hamas to reemerge in gaza is either a governing force or a potential military force. He wants nothing to do with that. He wants the war to continue and this insurgency counterinsurgency to go on for years. Counterinsurgency to go on for ears. . ,. , years. That is precisely when ike's question, _ years. That is precisely when ike's question, the _ years. That is precisely when | ike's question, the accusation from the israelis is the fact that hamas killed six hostages before they were found as proof that hamas is not interested either. I that hamas is not interested either. ... either. I would tend to agree with that either. I would tend to agree with that. |_ either. I would tend to agree with that. I think _ either. I would tend to agree with that. I think that either. I would tend to agree with that. I think that is with that. I think that is evidence and proof but evidence of that, certainly is plenty more. I think you can generally see that the hamas leadership in gaza believes that this has all been very beneficial and would like it to go on. But they would like a pass to regroup their forces now that the war is turning into a prolonged insurgency. That would be useful. They would love to get some prisoners back and get credit for that because they have been under political pressure in gaza because people, some people are starting to realise it was all their fault to begin with. And then there is the sense in which they want to use an insurgency against vater to claim leadership of the palestinian national movement and that was a goal to begin with. I don't think hamas wants a ceasefire either but they would take a pause if they could sell it as a ceasefire. They need that proviso that allows the ceasefire to continue after six weeks. In gaza, un agencies and partner organizations have begun the second stage of a major polio vaccination campaign. The rollout comes a month after authorities confirmed the first case of polio seen in gaza in 25 years which left a iomonthold partially paralysed. The vaccine rollout began on september first and since then the world health organization says 411,301 children have been vaccinated in gaza. The ultimate goal is to vaccinate 640,000 children in gaza against polio. The biden administration has announced an additional 250 million us dollars in security assistance for ukraine. The us secetary of defense, lloyd austin, made the announcement at the ramstein us air base in germany. But he declined to lift restrictions that bar kyiv from firing americanmade longrange missiles into russia, which ukraine's president zelensky says is the only way to end the war. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake has the latest from kyiv. President zelensky wanted to attend in person this meeting of more than 50 allies at the huge us airbase in western germany because he wanted to take his message to them directly and that message was that they need to ignore any perceived redlines that president putin may have. Mr zelensky said that his allies absolutely immediately had to give him permission to use longrange missiles so that they could hit further into russia, target airfields and other places from where devastating attacks on ukraine are launched. Mr zelensky also had all shortterm warning, saying that a lot of the air force air defence support that allies pledged to the country have not yet arrived. Lloyd austin, the us secretary of defence said he heard what mr zelensky was saying and announced a new package of aid. He did not focus on the issue of longrange missiles, talking about us being in a critical stage of this war. He spoke about the incursion by ukrainian troopsjust about the incursion by ukrainian troops just over one month ago into russia itself, into the kursk region. He said that this prove the russian army which had been engaged in acts of aggression was now fighting a defensive battle on their own turf. This has come at a cost, however. President putin vowed to bring retribution, revenge for this ukrainian operation and we have seen aidan increasing the of russian strikes over the past week or so, notably on tuesday this week the city of polk harbourin this week the city of polk harbour in the centre of ukraine was hit, the most devastating single attack on any ukrainian town or city this year, at least 55 people were killed. the city of bullets. poltava. Let's go live now to former us ambassador to ukrainejohn herbst, joining us from north carolina.

What do you think of what lloyd austin said, the us secretary of defence. He said at this point he is hearing ukraine and it's cold to allow ukrainians to strike deeper into russian territory with western weapons but there was no decision made on that. ~ ,. i. ~' but there was no decision made on that. ~ ,. ,, ~. on that. Why do you think that is? the biden _ on that. Why do you think that is? the biden administration l is? the biden administration has been regularly intimidated by putin's threats of nuclear escalation, despite the fact that several criminal redlines have been passed without anything happening. It is an unusual situation where america is self deterring because of kremlin threats. kremlin threats. Highly unlikely _ kremlin threats. Highly unlikely to _ kremlin threats. Highly unlikely to be kremlin threats. Highly unlikely to be realised l unlikely to be realised threats. What about other allies? european allies like germany? do you think they may turn the tide on that decision? i think that there is an axis of timidity with all the scholz and joe biden. They reinforce each other*s not very sound instincts, that somehow russia is going to go nuclear when, in fact, there is very little chance of that. This is dangerous, more dangerous for russia than it is for us to escalate. I russia than it is for us to escalate russia than it is for us to escalate. ... i. Escalate. I want to ask you about the _ escalate. I want to ask you about the political escalate. I want to ask you | about the political situation in kyiv as well because we saw ukraine's parliament approved this significant cabinet reshuffle that president zelensky has announced we saw some critics say that president zelensky is just trying to centralise power because his ministers were previously his advisers, are you concerned about this development? i think this is pretty about this development? i think this is pretty much _ about this development? i think this is pretty much business about this development? i think this is pretty much business as. This is pretty much business as usual, as we have seen in ukraine, notjust since the russian invasion, not since the lenski became president in 2019 but also the previous president from 2014 but also the previous president from 2014 2019. But also the previous president from 2014 2019. They like to demonstrate their power, they like to respond to domestic unhappiness by changing cabinets. I don't think it means anything more than that. His supporters said that it is wartime in all the more need to centralise power around the president but critics remain and president zelensky says he wants his government to focus more on getting aid from western allies but if you look at some of the ministers who were in his government until now, they have been very vocal on the international stage. What do you think zelensky means by this specifically? again i think it isjust exercising his prerogative as president. And i suspect we will see them still heavily involved in ukraine's efforts to win this war. But it is really not much more than it gamble. Zelensky said let's try someone else and i don't think it is going to hurt the war effort, i don't think it will improve it either. But there are many talented people in ukraine. Regarding the concept that zelensky tried to centralise power, i go to care for the time and i was the last week and i will be there next week and i will be there next week and i believe it is true. I also believe that while they are fighting a war, most ukrainians will cut him some slack as you already suggested. But when the war is over any such tendencies will not work for the benefit of the incumbent and the presidency of the ukraine. Incumbent and the presidency of the ukraine incumbent and the presidency of the ukraine. Ambassador, as you were justine _ the ukraine. Ambassador, as you were justine keay _ the ukraine. Ambassador, as you were justine keay of, _ the ukraine. Ambassador, as you were justine keay of, how the ukraine. Ambassador, as you were justine keay of, how do werejustine keay of, how do you sense the morale amongst ukrainians right now? you werejust in kyiv. We ukrainians right now? you were just in kyiv. We are heading into a difficult winter as the temperature starts to turn. Morale was skyhigh because of ukrainian success in kursk. Before the operation was launched, one month ago today, everyone was talking about a coldweather cease fire wood in place and suddenly ukraine controls a significant portion of russian territory. So controls a significant portion of russian territory. Controls a significant portion of russian territory. So if the ceasefire _ of russian territory. So if the ceasefire is _ of russian territory. So if the ceasefire is in _ of russian territory. So if the ceasefire is in place of russian territory. So if the ceasefire is in place would i ceasefire is in place would always work against ukrainian interests, it is not something putin is unlikely to see. Putin is domestically embarrassed, even as he tries to downplay the fact that ukrainian troops occupy russian territory and are digging into holder territory for a substantial period of time. And despite the bombing, i was there right after the huge forming of monday last week, despite that or alongside of that ukrainians are deep because of the success of their offensive in russia. Ambassador, great to have your perspective as always. Thank you so much.
