Welcome to britains newsroom on gb news. It is 935 Andrew Pierce and me bev turner this morning. So youd have heard about the death of three british aid workers killed after being hit by an israeli missile strike. James henderson, 33, john chapman, 57. They both served in the Royal Marines, were named alongside james kirby, a former Army Rifleman sniper Army Rifleman and sniper marksman. Army rifleman and sniper marksmajoining us now is well, joining us now is general lord Richard Dannatt, the former head of the british army. Good morning to you, army. Good morning to you, richard. Thanks joining us richard. Thanks forjoining us again. When looking at the again. When looking at the detail deaths of these detail of the deaths of these men, its very difficult to conclude that they werent deliberately targeted. And to some extent hunted down. Their cars were clearly marked with the world central kitchen logo. They had gps trackers, sos beacons and following an approved idf route, and each car was hit each time. The passengers who were injured were given put in the next vehicle. And then that car was hit. And this happened repeatedly until these men lost their lives. Is do you conclude the same as us, that it looks deliberate . That it looks deliberate . Well, it looks deliberate on the evidence that we have in front of our eyes and the reports that weve received. Now, the idf are saying that its a mistake. But actually, if its a mistake. But actually, if its a mistake. But actually, if its a mistake, its a series of mistakes and one has to understand that they must have had eyes on their targets to watch them go from one vehicle to another vehicle to another vehicle. Their explanation would be that they assume that they were terrorists. But, given that Charity Workers and aid workers are giving their coordinates to the idf and the vehicles were marked as as relief vehicles , marked as as relief vehicles, its very hard to conclude that, this is anything other than deliberate. I mean, it may well have been a misguided, deliberate action on the part of whatever operator was operating those missiles. But, its an absolute tragedy. Shouldnt have absolute tragedy. Shouldnt have happened. And im afraid theres a wider point, which is rather indicative of, despite what the idf is saying, is that the two indiscriminate nature of the way that theyre using violence in gaza, the and this isnt obviously , were all very obviously, were all very saddened, and its brought it home to us because three of these people who died were british. But think its 196 british. But think its196 aid but i think its196 aid workers have died in this war. And of course you do. These things can happen. But if this things can happen. But if this strike against these aid workers was deliberate, its a war crime, isnt it . Well, its certainly contrary to all the norms of law of war. And there are Legal Protections for humanitarian workers in conflict situations, and particularly given that their car, their vehicles were marked as aid vehicles, there really is no excuse at all, the idf says the israelis say that theyre going to have an inquiry. And i think given the scale of this tragedy, they must have an inquiry. It must be transparent. It it must be rapid, and we must know what the answer is. And if there were Israeli Military people , culpable of what they people, culpable of what they would call a mistake , then would call a mistake, then action must be taken against them. This kind of thing is just not acceptable. And as you say, 196 aid workers were told have lost their their lives. That, frankly, over the last six months is equally unacceptable and is a direct result of this strike against these aid workers. Lord dannatt, vast amounts of aid were turned away. One great ship has returned to cyprus. You know better than anybody that starvation is a well known, well tried and trusted military technique. Whether its stalingrad or malta, perhaps thats what netanyahu is trying to achieve to starve them into submission. Well, hes certainly using , well, hes certainly using, as it would seem, all means available to try and achieve his aim of completely destroying hamas. Now, the israelis say that hamas could end this war today, tomorrow, by just, declaring unilateral surrender. Well, they wont do that. Theyre objective is the destruction of the israeli state, the israeli states objective is the destruction of hamas and netanyahu is determined, it would seem, to fight this through to the finish , but they must do it much more carefully. They must protect innocent civilians. They certainly must protect aid workers , and they must not use workers, and they must not use famine as a weapon of war. Its perfectly acceptable to track down terrorists and to kill them, or arrest them or whatever they choose to do. But but they choose to do. But but innocent civilians must be protected and aid workers and indeed medical facilities must also be protected , lord dannatt, also be protected, lord dannatt, i really want to ask you about Johnny Mercer , the veterans Johnny Mercer, the veterans minister. Hes obviously challenging this order for him to hand over the names of the whistleblower soldiers. This is hes been asked to identify alleged atrocities. People who committed alleged atrocities in afghanistan by the sas. Whats afghanistan by the sas. Whats your opinion on the very difficult position that he finds himself in . Well , johnnys in a difficult well, johnnys in a difficult position because the judge has placed him in in that difficult position. The fact of the matter is that what johnny is doing is upholding the right of those who have got information they have got information that they think made available think should be made available to an inquiry, to find its way to an inquiry, to find its way to the inquiry in a way that they can trust. And its really a question of protecting the identity of whistleblowers. Now, if , if a potential whistleblower if, if a potential whistleblower cant trust an elected , a member cant trust an elected, a member of parliament, a government minister, then i think things have come to a pretty poor pass. And the whole point really is, is that johnny has given the information , the inquiry has got information, the inquiry has got that information, and there is absolutely need for the names absolutely no need for the names of those witnesses to be made public. And many journalists have protected their sources over the years. They havent been thrown into jail for that. And i think its the judge picking the wrong fight at the wrong time with the wrong picking the wrong fight at the wrong tjohnnyh the wrong picking the wrong fight at the wrong tjohnnyh thigot ong person. Johnny has got a fantastic record as the fantastic track record as the minister of state for veterans affairs, in looking after the interests of veterans and serving people. So for the judge to pick on him and threaten him with with jail is, as i said, its the wrong battle at the wrong time. The issue is protecting the identity of whistleblowers and allowing them to have the confidence to come forward, to give information to the inquiry. And the inquiry is already benefiting from the information that johnny has given them. Just ask you, lord can i just ask you, lord dannatt , if he to go to dannatt, if he were to go to jail as a result of this, there would be an outcry, wouldnt there . And there should be. Leading that there . And there should be. I leading that there . And there should be. I think leading that there . And there should be. I think its ding that there . And there should be. I think its quite hat outcry. I think its quite ridiculous. The outcry. I think its quite ridiculous. The judge has picked, as i said, twice now, the wrong battle with the wrong person time, yes, person at the wrong time, yes, of course, johnny wants to uphold his personal integrity. But fundamental principle but the fundamental principle here is that of the ability of whistleblowers to make Information Available to an inquiry, to a trial, whatever, and for their identity to be protected and thats the issue. I think the judge needs to reflect long and hard over what he is actually doing at the present moment. Okay. Thank you so for okay. Thank you so much for your time, lord Richard Dannatt there. Now lets go back to this story about aid workers story about the aid workers being the conservative story about the aid workers beirfor the conservative story about the aid workers beirfor the the conservative story about the aid workers beirfor the isle |e conservative story about the aid workers beirfor the isle |e wight,ative story about the aid workers beirfor the isle |e wight, who mp for the isle of wight, who sits Foreign Affairs sits on the Foreign Affairs select bob seely, select committee, bob seely, joins now. Good morning. Bob joins us now. Good morning. Bob your reaction to this story, do your reaction to this story, do you agree that it looks deliberate . Although if so , that deliberate . Although if so, that is very serious situation. Is very serious situation. Okay. Morning. Morning, andrew. Condolences to the families , first and foremost, i families, first and foremost, i think they they sounded like impressive men with impressive military records. We dont know is a simple answer. Whether its a war crime, a mistake is not a war crime. Not having some kind of targeting process could be so. So i think i would be very wary about that. The important point, bev, here, is that this has been happening to a lot of palestinians, who havent been involved necessarily with hamas and who have been killed in a similar way, and the amount of people who are being killed who are innocent and not part of this conflict looks like, that it is very high, and the reason why this is impacting in the media is because there are seven of them. They will westerners , of them. They will westerners, and three of them were brits , and three of them were brits, thats the point, isnt it . I think i think bob ,196 aid think i think bob, 196 aid workers have died altogether. Is that a sign that israel, of course they are. Its legitimate to take the war back to hamas after what happened on october the 7th. But is israel now just being too indiscriminate, too careless, almost too reckless , i careless, almost too reckless, i think the answer, sadly, is probably yes. And i say that as someone who believes that israel absolutely has the right to self defence and in in International Humanitarian law, there are two principles, the right to use military force when other measures fail. And absolutely, israel has the right to do that, but also it has to do it with humanity. And an important part of humanity. When looking at International Law, war crimes, geneva conventions, is whether youre doing things proportionately and i think there is an argument and a strong argument now that israel isnt doing things in proportion often, and the strategy of levelling gaza and being willing to endure very high civilian casualties is going to do huge damage to the state of israel. Okay. All right, bob, good to see you. Bob seely there, mp for the isle of wight, who also has a military background, actually, and his family and giving us his take on that. The next thing the labour people on the left of the labour party will clamouring for us party will be clamouring for us to our sales to to stop our arms sales to israel. Thatd the next thing. And i think thats probably sensible, i cant lie. Well, we had that chaotic had that, that chaotic situation, didnt where had that, that chaotic situatwas didnt where had that, that chaotic situatwas the |t where had that, that chaotic situatwas the vote where had that, that chaotic situatwas the vote on ilhere had that, that chaotic situatwas the vote on thee there was the vote on the ceasefire or not, which just fell disarray, with lindsay fell into disarray, with lindsay hoyle, few hoyle, speaker, just a few months so very months ago, so its very difficult, isnt it, when our politicians, prime politicians, when our Prime Minister called for minister even hasnt called for a ceasefire calling for humanitarian pause, this stuff is to happen, right . Right. Up next is the hospitality sector in peril. Were going to tell you about these gen z lot. Theyre shunning alcohol, late night a load of balls. Gen z, youre very down with the saying gen is very the kids saying gen z is very american. Andrew, is it z or z . Well, people do say gen z, but obviously were british, so we say generation z.
