They come straight to my laptop. Mark at gbnews. Com but let me bnng mark at gbnews. Com but let me bring you up to speed on exactly whats happening in the middle east. So it all started on saturday. The 7th of october. The Palestinian Terror Group hamas launched an unprecedented attack on israel with Hamas Terrorists entering communities near the gaza strip, killing at least 1300 people and taking scores of hostages. Meanwhile more than 1400 people have been killed in gaza since israel launched retaliatory air strikes and a ground offensive of israel has told everyone in the north of the gaza strip. As i mentioned, this is about 1. 1 Million People to relocate to the south of the territory. Within 24 hours. While that deadune within 24 hours. While that deadline ended six minutes ago at 9 pm. Uk time. Deadline ended six minutes ago at 9 pm. Uk time. And so what at 9 pm. Uk time. And so what israel have said they want everyone in the gaza to actually head south of a watercourse known as wadi gaza. The un has said this is not possible and asked israel to withdraw the order warning of devastating human consequences. The World Health Organisation said gazas Health Authorities had told it that it would be impossible to evacuate vulnerable hospital patients. Hamas which controls the gaza strip, told civilians to ignore the Evacuation Order from israel, describing it as fake propaganda. However many people have been leaving , going people have been leaving, going by foot on bicycles on cars. There you can see those images playing out. Northern gaza playing out. Northern gaza contains gaza city and two refugee camps is one of the most densely populated parts of the territory. Theres only one main territory. Theres only one main road going south and fuel for vehicles is now running out. Vehicles is now running out. Hamass military wing, the al qassam brigades, is continuing to fire rockets into israel , continuing to fire rockets into israel, claiming to have targeted ashkelon in the south of the country. With 150 rockets. This is israels stated goal now. Now, as a result of goal now. Now, as a result of what happened last weekend is to destroy hamas as it has massed tens of thousands of soldiers on its borders with gaza, along with tanks and artillery. It has activated some 300,000 reservists alongside its Standing Force of 160,000 troops. The Israeli Military has for prepared an offensive by dropping 6000 bombs on gaza, targeting hamas commanders and their control centres. One of its main targets is hamass vast labyrinth of underground tunnels, which link together its underground command posts. So underground command posts. So gaza also referred to as gaza city, is a palestinian city in the gaza strip. Its got a population of over 600,000 people, making it the largest city in the state. The state of palestine. The gaza strip is a 41 kilometre long and ten kilometre wide territory, located between israel, egypt and the mediterranean sea. So and the mediterranean sea. So who are hamas . Well they are a Palestinian Terror Group who have ruled the gaza strip since two thousand and seven. The group is sworn to israels destruction and want to replace it with an islamic state. Hamas has fought several wars with israel since it took power. It israel since it took power. It has fired or allowed other terror groups to fire thousands of rockets at israel and carried out other deadly attacks. Now, out other deadly attacks. Now, in response , israel has in response, israel has repeatedly attacked hamas with airstrikes and sent troops into gaza during two of the wars. Together with egypt , it has together with egypt, it has blockaded the gaza strip since two thousand and seven for what it describes as security reasons. Hamas or in some cases its military wing, reasons. Hamas or in some cases its military wing , the its military wing, the aforementioned Izzedine Al Qassam brigades, has been designated a terror group by israel, the United States, the European Union and the uk , as European Union and the uk, as well as other powers in ran backs. The Group Provides it with funding weapons and training after hamass attack, israel announced a siege of gaza , cutting its supplies of electricity, fuel goods and water. It says the siege will not end until israeli hostages are released at one of the hostages in question is a holocaust survivor over mains electricity has gone out after gazas single power station ran out of fuel without electricity. Gazas water and Sewage Systems are expected to shut down households, hospitals and businesses in gaza are relying on generators as now, if they have the fuel to run them. The border between israel and gaza remains closed. The rafah crossing, which is controlled by egypt , has crossing, which is controlled by egypt, has been crossing, which is controlled by egypt , has been targeted by egypt, has been targeted by israeli airstrikes and has been largely closed or very heavily restricted. So youll be aware restricted. So youll be aware that this is a developing situation. And of course, aaron situation. And of course, Aaron Armstrong will come in with any breaking news as and when we get it. But that deadline for those in northern gaza to escape has passed. Just 11 minutes ago, passed. Just 11 minutes ago, 9 00 is when the israelis said that that area of gaza needed to be cleared. Thats over a million residents. Theyve been running by foot on cars, all the rest of it. So we are expecting developments and of course, were expecting israel to reply with considerable force. As youve heard there from their Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. So now lets get netanyahu. So now lets get reaction from my top pundits this evening. Reporter and broadcaster Stephanie Takyi author and journalist Laura Dodsworth and criminal barrister and former conservative mp jerry hayes. And former conservative mp jerry hayes. Laura, if i can start hayes. Laura, if i can start with you. There really are just no words to describe whats happening in the middle east. Its deeply worrying. Its deeply tragic. And the most deeply tragic. And the most appalling crimes have been committed in the last seven days. Its hard to know where to even start. Its been a devastating week, which started with shocking acts of barbarism and probably. See one of the most difficult things i think this week actually has been the reaction to the barbarism. You reaction to the barbarism. You know, weve had the bbc refusing to call Hamas Terrorists. As you to call Hamas Terrorists. As you said earlier, the far wont not light up its arches and the colours of blue and white. And it seems that various esteemed professors in the uk and the west are almost proud that decolonisation isnt a metaphor. Theyre there. Theres this kind of casual reaction to the atrocity and what really is a blood soaked pogrom. So thats how the week has started. And how the week has started. And then i think a lot of us feel like were on, you know, were on tenterhooks. Whats going to happen next . How much worse , how happen next . How much worse, how much the violence much worse can the violence escalate and how many more innocent civilians whose lives will be lost indeed. Will be lost indeed. And stephanie, this awful conflict has reflected severe, severe divisions within our own society. And people have been society. And people have been out there in our cities, manchester, london and elsewhere , waving palestinian flags. , waving palestinian flags. Yeah, its been one of these things where i think usually when these cases of war happens, it always tends to be ignorance has been bliss , but this feels has been bliss, but this feels much closer to home and its been the whole week. Its just been the whole week. Its just been so sad to see the division. Its caused within the uk from the time that people cannot even send their children to school. I send their children to school. I have both friends who are both jewish and both people who have close allies with palestine and just to hear both sides of their story , its quite heartbreaking story, its quite heartbreaking and it goes to show that were all involved in this. Its not just something thats happening in the middle east. We all have to wake up and Pay Attention to the atrocities has been the atrocities which has been happening on sides of this happening on both sides of this war. The only thing that i think would make me feel settled is if i knew that peace was around the corner. And clearly this is just the beginning of something horrifying and something which may last very long time indeed. So whilst stephanie was talking, if youre watching on television , youll have television, youll have seen pictures live from new pictures there live from new york of a pro palestinian demonstration in front of the un building in new york city, jerry hayes peace in the middle east feels further away than ever. Well thats exactly what iran wants , because dont forget, wants, because dont forget, israel has done peace deals with jordan. Theyve done peace deals with egypt. They were doing a free trade deal with bahrain. But the most important one of all, they were doing a deal with saudi arabia. There is no way that a hamas who are funded by by iran. And dont forget, hamas is not just they dont want the state of israel to exist. They want to destroy it. And they want to kill every single jew man, woman or child. If i can just go back or child. If i can just go back to something that stephanie said and that and something you said in your monologue, too, in the monologue, you said, our jewish people still safe. The fact of people still safe. The fact of the matter is, they havent been safe in this country for a long time. People dont realise that time. People dont realise that every single Jewish School well before this conflict has had security people outside every synagogue has had security outside. So there are serious, outside. So there are serious, Serious Problems for the safety of jewish people in this country , which i find in 2023 utterly appalling. Appalling. Indeed. So. Well, coming up next in the big story with schools being forced to close and a Strong Police presence on the streets of the uk are jewish people still safe in britain or were they ever as jerry has rightly asked . Well be rightly asked . Well be discussing that radio. Well, a big response on email to whats happening in israel and gaza. David has said good evening, mark. What were witnessing is very sad and any killings of civilians, regardless of which side it may come from, is wrong. However its a reflection of humanity that we have lost our basic Human Dignity of care and empathy for each other. Sadly, religious causes and political causes have been put above human life all over the world, led by divisive politics across the world, looking to cause division in among all of us muslim, christian, catholic, sikh and any other religious viewpoint across the world should not be put before the basic fact that we are all human. We have the worst leaders in living history, says dave. David thank you very much for that. Keep those emails coming and we can go now to live pictures of gaza, where that deadune pictures of gaza, where that deadline for residents to head south has passed. This was south has passed. This was a diktat from the Israeli Government telling all residents of north gaza to head south of the region by 9 00. Uk time, which was 20 minutes ago. So that deadline has passed. Civilians are fleeing northern gaza, which is what we got a shot of at the moment. Theyre fleeing by car on the back of trucks and on foot after that warning that warning from israel that civilians should move south. Thats 1. 1 civilians should move south. Thats1. 1 Million People living in Northern Areas told to head out as quickly as possible. Many thousands have done just that. Thousands have done just that. Okay. We also have a view of new york city live in front of the un building and pro palestinian demonstrators. Now six jewish demonstrators. Now six Jewish Schools in london are closed today amid fears for pupils safety following a surge in anti semitic attacks. As the home secretary Suella Braverman warned media evil anti semitism by hamas was no excuse to target jews in britain. The Community Security trust, a charity that supports british jewish people, said anti semitic hate crimes, had tripled in the four days after
