In whove been held hostage by hamas. In gaza. Noah and yahel are from kibbutz where their mother, leanne was murdered in the 7th of october. Attack their father, eli, is also missing. Well, this comes as the Prime Minister led a minute silence in the house of commons today as he confirmed that at least six british citizens were killed in the hamas israel last the hamas attack on israel last weekend , with a further ten weekend, with a further ten people still missing. The pm had now, earlier, the pm had visited a Jewish Secondary School in north london, reassuring students the government will always support them. Government has also them. The government has also announced will provide an announced it will provide an extra £10 million in humanitarian aid , saying the humanitarian aid, saying the Palestinian People are victims of hamas to we stand with you now and always. The this now and always. The this atrocity was an existential strike at the very idea of israel as a safe homeland for the jewish people. The jewish people. I understand why it has shaken you to your core , and i shaken you to your core, and i am sickened that anti semitic incidents have increased since the attack. We are doing the attack. We are doing everything that we can to protect you. Well lets speak protect you. Well lets speak now to freelance journalist Yotam Confino on this one. And, jotham, thank you very much for your for your time today. Hey, live from tel aviv. Today. Hey, live from tel aviv. And are we hearing anything more about these teenage british sisters and their father who are dominating the front pages of the newspapers here in the uk today . Today . Not that im aware of, but as you explained very well in the introduction here, the atrocities committed have touched not only israelis , but touched not only israelis, but brits, americans , germans, so brits, americans, germans, so many different nationalities that have been caught in this hamas massacre. And we also have hostages, of course, who are still kept inside gaza. And this is why the uk , the us and the un is why the uk, the us and the un actually are all working very, very hard to get hamas to release the hostages immediately. Its been declared a top priority for the un to get at least children and women out of gaza because they are in a horrendous situation. Most likely kept underground in tunnels by hamas. Thats at least what israel estimates. So this hostage situation is its really just another humanitaire catastrophe that develops at the same time as what you know, the atrocities. Also, we see in gaza, not deliberately committed by israel. Israel says its not targeting civilians, but we do see these ruins everywhere in gaza. So these two situations are just simply horrific and not solved yet. Solved yet. Yotam, what is the mood in the atmosphere like in tel aviv where you are . You look at it, where you are . You look at it, you look in a tree lined street, it looks very, very peaceful. Is it looks very, very peaceful. Is there any sense that a war is raging. I would say yes. Raging. I would say yes. And its not you dont see bombs falling here because when rockets are fired over tel aviv , rockets are fired over tel aviv, by far most of them are shut down by the iron dome. But you you do hear, first of all, rocket sirens pretty much every day. The streets are more or less empty. Shops are closed. And thats very unusual in tel aviv. Even in 2014, when there was a big war with gaza shops didnt close the same way as they do now. Its really its really i havent seen anything like this in israel. Of course, if you go further south, i was in sderot, city of sderot , which in sderot, city of sderot, which is very close to the gaza border. I was the past border. I was there the past couple of days. That is literally a war zone. Its military , police, medical military, police, medical ambulances , medical staff and ambulances, medical staff and journalists on the ground. Thats pretty much it. Thats pretty much it. The big news that were all waking up to this morning, it was announced at 1 00 in the morning is that President Biden will flying into the will now be flying into the region in a desperate attempt to try broker some sort of try and broker some sort of ceasefire. Weve ceasefire. Yeah, weve seen a ramping down, i think its fair to say, of the rhetoric coming from israel about a land invasion. Do think that invasion. Do you think that given the pressure from the International Community and the scrutiny the scrutiny around some of the humanitarian issues is making them twice about it . Them think twice about it . I dont think so. What they are thinking twice aboutis what they are thinking twice about is the humanitarian aid , about is the humanitarian aid, but the Ground Invasion. I cannot see any scenario in which israel backs down from this. Israel backs down from this. They have declared over and over from day one, hamas will be eliminated in gaza and you need a Ground Invasion for that. Its very simple. But when it comes to humanitarian aid, we have seen israel now, according to the United States, agree to allow humanity in into gaza. Allow humanity in into gaza. They are coordinating the details right now. And of course, with egypt , because it course, with egypt, because it will come from egypt. We have loads of trucks with humanitarian aid , medicine, humanitarian aid, medicine, food, waiting on the other side of the border. But egypt has said if they are to send their people in trucks into gaza, it has to stop bombarding in that area. Theyre not going to risk egyptian lives to go in with humanitarian aid. And also egypt does not want civilians from gaza fleeing into sinai. Egypt gaza fleeing into sinai. Egypt doesnt want the responsibility for so many people. So israel is slowly easing its its demands to shut gaza completely. And of shut gaza completely. And of course, now the joe biden is coming. Thats hugely symbolic for israel. And thats one of the reasons why israel has agreed to allow some humanitarian aid in. Butjust one last comment on this. We heard yesterday the united nafions heard yesterday the United Nations saying that the hamas run interior ministry, people from that ministry had simply looted our energy, resources and medicine from the United Nations, and that, of course, was something that israel reacted to immediately. And they said this is exactly why we dont want humanitarian to come into gaza, because hamas will take it. It wont go to the civilians. And we are after hamas now. We wont allow hamas to take medicine and food for themselves. Were trying to kill them. Okay. Yotam confino, thank you very much for your analysis this morning. Joining us from tel aviv this Tuesday Morning , tel aviv this Tuesday Morning, two swedish nationals have been shot dead in brussels and other injured overnight as belgium raised its terror alert to the highest level. This comes as a video emerged on social media of the assailant claiming responsibility for the attack , responsibility for the attack, as well as identifying himself as well as identifying himself as a member of Islamic State. As a member of Islamic State. The suspect not caught yet remains at large. People are told to stay indoors until the threat has been eradicated. Threat has been eradicated. Former metropolitan Police DetectivePeter Bleksley joins us now with his take on this one. Theres just no predicting these attacks, is there, peter . No, im fortunately, there isnt. And this , of course, came isnt. And this, of course, came hot on the heels of the attack in france where a teacher was murdered. And that attack was condemned very forcibly by president macron, calling it an act of islamic terrorism. And it would appear again if the video is to be believed, if its genuine , if it was by the genuine, if it was by the attacker , Abdullah Al Julani , attacker, Abdullah Al Julani, then he, of course, is claiming to be a religious zealot fanatic , islamic terrorist. To be a religious zealot fanatic , islamic terrorist. So for the , islamic terrorist. So for the police , this is one of the worst police, this is one of the worst possible Case Scenarios you could be confronted with. You have a murderous person on the run with with weaponry who is quite possibly going to strike again. So there is an urgency c about this investigation right now for the belgian authorities as possibly the authorities in neighbouring countries and im sure that every single possible resource that the belgians can muster is to going be put into trying to find this man. Brussels has a sort of painful history when it comes to these sorts of attacks, doesnt it . Seven years ago there was an incident where the city was struck by twin attacks the struck by twin attacks at the airport then at the Metro Airport and then at the metro station. Be painful station. This will be a painful reminder that time. And with reminder of that time. And with it presented serious it has presented some serious challenges policing. Challenges from policing. I mean, this happened during the belgian sweden euro 24 qualifier where teams refusing to go where both teams refusing to go back half time. But you back on after half time. But you have a stadium in have a stadium then in a heightened state of anxiety and panic can hugely panic, which can be hugely infectious. I panic, which can be hugely infectious. I mean, panic, which can be hugely infectious. I mean, very infectious. I mean, very difficult situation for the authorities to managed last authorities to have managed last night. Night. Yes. And they had to evacuate that stadium bit by bit because, of course , what you dont want of course, what you dont want to do is send floods of people into an area where there is somebody armed to the teeth with murder intent. Im hearing that the crowd within the stadium were actually pretty well behaved. And i think thats huge credit to them and to the authorities. And while im in authorities. And while im in the business of heaping praise on people , i think its very on people, i think its very timely for us to remember our own Police Services in the uk and our own Security Services, because i can be a strident critic of the police when justified. But i think every day that passes when we do not have a terror attack in the uk is actually a day when we should all give thanks to our police and Security Services. And Se
