The world woke up to shocking news from israel yesterday. Hamas terrorists fired thousands of rockets into the country and infiltrated towns and villages infiltrated towns and villages in committing in the south, committing murders, rampaging through the streets , capturing military streets, capturing military equipment and israeli civilians. Israels Defence Forces were unprepared for the attack , which unprepared for the attack, which comes as israel and saudi arabia intended to establish diplomatic relations is to discuss it. Im joined by israeli author hen mazzig and robert fox, defence editor at the evening standard. Welcome to you both to gb news. Hen we heard Benjamin Netanyahu saying just then that nothing like this had happened to israel, i mean, thats thats pretty much the case, isnt it . Certainly not in your lifetime. Yeah , absolutely not in my yeah, absolutely not in my lifetime. And i would argue even probably of the darkest days probably one of the darkest days in israelis are in israeli history. Israelis are really broken. I spoke to my family and my friends and everyone are just in a state of shock. We havent seen anything like that. Think that not only like that. I think that not only the casualties, but the images of the barbarism and the and the children and women being kidnapped into gaza is just heartbreaking and terrifying. And its really tragic day for israel. Israel. Do you think israelis are upset with their government about what has clearly been an intelligence failure . I dont think were at the point of being upset. I think israelis are just so broken at the moment. Were still i mean, there were still hostage situations that have been unfolding overnight. The terrorists are still inside israel. Theyre still committing israel. Theyre still committing atrocities. So i think israelis atrocities. So i think israelis are still at a point of recovering and standing up , are still at a point of recovering and standing up, but recovering. I mean , theres over recovering. I mean, theres over 100 families, 100 women, children held in gaza by people that have shown such disregard for human rights. Weve seen horrific images. And i think thats still in the conscience of every israeli today. Of every israeli today. It may be too early to answer my next question as well, but netanyahu has spoken of this being a war. Hes obviously intending that the response will be very thorough indeed. Do you think thats appropriate . I think that we havent seen anything like that. As i said before, and thats why the response has to be large , larger response has to be large, larger than anything weve seen before. There were so many cycles of violence between israel and hamas over the years , but every hamas over the years, but every cycle of violence just ended with ceasefire and both sides went back. But i think this time there wont be a ceasefire. The way that weve seen it, it cannot be. I mean, theres over 100 people, again, family that have been broken that are held in gaza. Israel cannot just in gaza. Israel cannotjust respond. I mean , what is a respond. I mean, what is a measured response . Right. What is a proportionate in the case where you have women being raped , families being torn apart, elderly being taken into gaza . All of this is just so horrific and barbaric. And i dont even and barbaric. And i dont even know what will be a measured response to that. Response to that. Do you know what the motivation is for this hamas attack . I mean, we know in attack . I mean, we know in general why hamas wants to attack israel, but presumably an attack israel, but presumably an attack on this scale is going to produce an extraordinary reaction from israel. Im just wondering, is that what hamas wants . Does hamas want to see the israeli is thought by the to world overreact . World overreact . That has been their strategy for a long time. But i have to say that hamas is its it did not surprise us that hamas behaves this way. I mean, there is a border with hamas and fences for that exact reason. When people are saying that palestinians are breaking free out of gaza, the meaning is exactly what were seeing. And i think thats why israel is so diligent and protects our borders. We know what hamas is about. This is an organisation thatis about. This is an organisation that is called for the genocide of jews worldwide. And the whole ideology is like that. So for israelis, while we are shocked and broken, we expect this from from hamas. We know that this is what theyre about. So thats why i dont think that there is a strategy behind it. More for hamas specifically. Its just this is what they are. And i think because we saw joe biden and zelenskyy and leaders, macaroon leaders from around the world speaking up and condemning hamas. Were just hamas. So harshly, were just happy that the world is seeing what is really about. What hamas is really about. Robert, lets talk about the link with this supposed restoration of diplomatic relations with saudi arabia. Is this this would be very unwelcome to iran. Iran backs hezbollah and hamas. Is this the connection its in the background, but i think theres something that we just heard from ken thats going on. There is a generation shift. And in palestinian militancy , and in palestinian militancy, there is a different degree of violence. And i would say at one level, as weve seen with people indiscriminately shooting at civilians, why of amorality and coming back to your saudi point , i think there is a feeling amongst middle autant, extreme militant palestinians and arabs that the old arab world, which would sponsor them through things like the arab league, the organisation of the islamic conference, thats on other things that in fact that they have taken their eye off the ball with how toxic still the palestinian issue remains. But palestinian issue remains. But timing was everything here, and thats where i do suspect there has been real a real psyops cycle , logical operational cycle, logical operational planning. And thats where we were talking just before coming in here. Is it hezbollah in the north . Because in a way , north . Because in a way, hezbollah and hamas have just be rather strange about this are odd bedfellows because hamas grew out of a sunni community. Hezbollah is largely shia. That doesnt count in the new multi dimensional chess of geopolitics. Hamas is sponsor, possibly iran. Hezbollah saw their opportunity. Yom kippur, there opportunity. Yom kippur, there was sense somehow that things were asleep at the wheel in the command centres in jerusalem and tel aviv and also that the big arab world doesnt care. Lets go for it. And theyve exploited a moment of weakness for Benjamin Netanyahu. He leads a pretty netanyahu. He leads a pretty oddball coalition in he has been in court. Hes still being investigated and prosecuted. So investigated and prosecuted. So he is not the man that he was. Yes and with on the right, the new members of the cabinet are like, you. I have been like, you. I have been recommending maximalist positions with regard to the occupied territories, which everybody knew that in practical terms they couldnt prosecute. They cant fully occupy the west bank. But now the big question is hes faced with a huge operational and tactical question. As you have put it so clearly is what do you do about gaza now theyre Holding Hostages there and its the degree which changes the quality. The number of this thing. And this is a very, very grave crisis. And netanyahu was talking about forming a an all Party Coalition during this crisis. Do you think many israelis would welcome that . I think they will. I think israelis have been torn on on this internal social, political issue of the judicial reform and overhaul. And there were, you overhaul. And there were, you know , hundreds of thousands of know, hundreds of thousands of israelis that came out to protest against it and against the government. So i think at this time, when we are so deep down, israelis want unity , down, israelis want unity, thats something that weve seen throughout the years in every time of a war or a conflict or in human nature, when there is an external threat to come together and i think in this case, israelis would be welcoming this this type of coalition its early days. Thank you both very much for coming in on this sunday. Thats hen mazzig and robert fox after the break, ill be speaking to screenwriter Nicholas Martin, whose latest movie is poignantly timed.
