ing in some reaction from Richard Tayyip Erdogan the Turkish president who has in recent days not only said that Hamas is not a terrorist organization but also had new comments to be made about the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu let's take a listen and then I'd like your thoughts just as Netanyahu is a terrorist the opposition says Hamas is a terrorist organization as well shame on you Israel we will declare you as a war criminal to the world right now we are making preparations for this hey Israel how did you come here how did you enter here you are an occupier you are an organization the Turkish people know this and as we're speaking the south right now in the Gaza envelope and that is near the area and the area of course one of the areas hardest hit on the 7th of October we will keep bringing you updates but Avi let's come to you right now we've got rocket fire in the north rocket fire in the south and rhetoric like we just heard out of the Turkish president your thoughts we shouldn't be surprised I mean the one is one of Israel's fiercest enemy and even a few months ago when he made gesture of peace and reconciliation we spoke about it on this very set and I allowed myself to warn everybody you cannot trust Erdogan Erdogan is an Islamist is an extreme Islamist he's one of the biggest supporter of Hamas and at the first moment he will turn against us and this is exactly what happened he organized this mass event in Turkey it's not that the people of Turkey gathered and wanted to do something like in London or in Paris no this was organized by the Turkish government by Erdogan himself and the same Erdogan who three weeks ago shook hand with Netanyahu and was coming to visit all in you know for the goal of reaching this oil deal this gas deal with Israel absolutely absolutely the financial benefits for Turkey this was the main priority but when you need your friends well everyone is not going to be there for sure no no and what we have to do first of all you mentioned guy the question of God exactly this is very important for Erdogan we have now to tighten our contact with our friends and allies Cyprus and Greece we're going to discuss that in a short while but first I want to go to our correspondent Mary Macaulay if she joins us from southern Israel and just moments ago we know Rocket Siren sounding in Baeri which is a name that a lot of people will have been hearing in the last 23 days of course so badly hit that terror onslaught on the 7th of October what Abtejib got for us from the southern parts of Israel right now Mary that's right Benita so we continue to see this is a very active war zone we continue to see rockets being fired from inside the Gaza Strip into southern Israeli communities just a few moments ago we saw at least five being launched from the area you can see just behind me in the northern part of the Gaza Strip all the meanwhile the Israeli army continues to strike heavily inside Gaza Strip we've also seen helicopters dropping flares over the area where we have seen reports of infiltrations or attempted infiltrations and Hamas terrorists who attempted to fire on Israeli soldiers the IDF has not officially confirmed it but we're seeing reports that they did respond and eliminate those who were trying to get inside Israeli territory or at least fire on Israeli soldiers thank you so much we will be coming back to you for regular updates for now that's our correspondent Mary Macaulay live from southern Israel and back in studio I want to pick up on something both of you said and that was understanding who friends are right now and who enemies are right now and I want to pick up US national security advisor Jake Sullivan had some comments in an interview with CNN about Israel's move forwards bring us up to speed right so national security advisor Jack Sullivan speaking to CBS just a short while ago and I think the main point there is what he's saying we've taken the position that Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorist attacks that is the bottom line in terms of the US support for Israel's war against Hamas Sullivan also says there are discussing hard questions with Israel including humanitarian aid distinguishing between terrorists and innocent civilians how Israel is thinking through its military operation I think we can take a listen to some of Sullivan's comments let's take a listen war of course is highly unpredictable so it's difficult to predict how it will play out what I will say this Israel was attacked in a brutal vicious terrorist attack they're taking steps to go after the terrorists who struck them they have been doing so from the air they're now doing so on the ground and Hamas this brutal terrorist organization that conducted the attack is hiding behind the civilian population which puts an added burden on Israel to differentiate between the terrorists and innocent civilians but it doesn't lessen their responsibility under international humanitarian law and the laws of war to do all in their power to protect the civilian population and that's equally true moving in on the ground as it is taking strikes from the air so several interviews that Sullivan is giving American media so that one from ABC and another thing that is extremely important I think for Israel to hear this evening is the question of halting the fighting of a possible ceasefire Sullivan says he warns that any pause in fighting would benefit Hamas that's a reality there are a lot of complicated realities a humanitarian pause would be a good thing to get hostages out but you can bet that Hamas will try to use that time to advance their advantage as well this is something that Israel is well aware of this is why we're seeing extended humanitarian aid to the southern part of the Gaza Strip but Israel at this point does not want to let off the pressure on Hamas with its military campaign with that small ground invasion that we're seeing right now and the massive air strikes trying to employ maximum pressure on Hamas as it still holds and 30 Israelis many of them civilians and children underground in those tunnels the Americans understand very well what this is all about and Jake Sullivan speaking to a range of American media and we also know that the US President and the Israeli Prime Minister are due to speak as well in the coming hours gentlemen stay with us I want to go up north we cross to our correspondent Pierre Stekelbach in northern Israel and just as we were coming to air Benita Sirens was sounding up north including as far as in Rosh Pina what is the latest what update have you got right now Pierre right Benita Sirens sounding in the area of Rosh Pina in the upper Galilee region and a number of other communities in the proximity of Rosh Pina what we're hearing so far is that at least two rockets were launched from southern Lebanon one of them was intercepted the other one fell into open area the Israeli military is still this incident and striking back towards the origin of that fire and it is not the first time that rockets rockets were launched into Israeli territory today earlier today rockets were launched into the area of Haldov which is on the very eastern part of the Israeli Lebanese border also there the Israeli military striking back towards the origin also earlier today a cell was targeted in southern Lebanon that tried to launch mortar shells also into Israeli territory in the area of Avivim so as you can see Benita skirmishes between Israel and factions in southern Lebanon first and foremost Izballah is continuing here many of the communities close to the border have been evacuated but we're talking about the city Etan Rosh Pina that is about 30 kilometers away from the border so we're talking about quite a range that these rockets seem to have been launched from southern Lebanon reaching up to 30 kilometers here that comes also after Ibrahim Raisi the Iranian president voiced his opinion today on formally Twitter now X he was saying that that designist regime this is how he calls Israel crossed a red line here he's pointing at the Israeli operation in Gaza currently saying that Israel is forcing the other factions there to act that also coming after Hassan Asrallah was seen in a video that is circulating online filmed from the back crossing Hezbollah flag today that's really showcasing the cooperation there between Iran and Hezbollah their expression of solidarity with the Palestinian cause that is something that they've been working for throughout the year showing the empathy for the Palestinians trying to combine the fronts there southern Lebanon with Palestinian factions in Gaza and in the West Bank and this is also what we are seeing here currently this is not the first time that the Iranians and Hezbollah have expressed that they will act according to how Israel is going to react in Gaza now also the foreign minister of Iran meeting with Hassan Asrallah after the beginning of the war here Hezbollah and Iran are trying to showcase their cooperation here also with the Palestinian factions and you can see that the skirmishes here are intensifying in the northern region not only very close to the border such as the areas that have been targeted by water shelling but also in a location like Rojpina which is quite far away from the Lebanese border that has been targeted by rockets just a few minutes before we spoke Ben Itza. Stay safe our correspondent Pierre Stechelbach live from northern Israel will be coming back to Pierre for regular updates in the coming hours now earlier I spoke to Rabbi Shmueli Boteach a well-known American Rabbi author and television personality he is visiting Israel at the moment and we spoke about what it's like to be an American visitor to this country during a war let's take a listen I came by bike I could have laid down in the middle of the street and been completely safe except for the Qassans because there's no cars there's no one on a bike outside the studio in Tel Aviv and it is a ghost town we have a couple of monstrous savage thugs with rockets who have shut down a world metropolis one of the most famous cities in the world and it's not going to end when Israel destroys Hamas because Israel is still going to fear a fifth column of Arabs inside the country now the ones who love Israel, my Arab brothers and sisters who understand the value of freedom, democracy they are my brothers and sisters but will Israelis continue to live thinking I can't go to the street because I'm going to be stabbed I can't go to this place you know what I'm beginning to see Israel is congregating into a tiny little circle, a little bubble in Ranana, Herzliya can't go too far north, Hezbollah can't go too far south that's Gaza can't go too far east because Judea and Samaria, the West Bank Qatar who was just on Qatar are the biggest funders of terrorism in the world Qatar is dead, let's stop playing games Qatar is disgusting grotesque, terror funding the idea that the United States has an air base there and we have made peace with that vile government who is like this with Iran, like this with Hamas they're going to do nothing for our hostages what we need to communicate to Qatar is the United States will move its base from Qatar unless they immediately expel or at least imprison Ismail Hania, the head of Hamas who lives in Avila, worth 4 billion dollars living there these are new times because the security situation is out of control Rabbi Shmueli Botea here in studio a little earlier on in the day and now for more we welcome David K the founder of the David and Goliath project he joins us from New York and Noah Lindberg, actor and co-founder of the Jew hate database joining us from Miami so let's start thank you very much for both of you for joining us I'm going to start though with David and David the David and Goliath project exposing a whole range of issues right now at a very difficult time for Jews around the world tell us more Yes, hi, thanks so much for having us essentially we're an incubator of all things Jewish which out of that initiative we spark the Jew hate database you know for us it's essentially a mission to not only raise awareness but create real-life consequences for people who proudly espouse their Jew hatred both online and offline so let me bring Noah in then and give us an idea of some of the examples of what you are seeing we see videos going viral on all platforms give us an idea of the kinds of incidents that you are dealing with right now removing posters from the streets can be hate messages online it can be posts from powerful people medical doctors that have taken an oath and what they're doing is extremely political at best we're exposing all of them because the truth is that these people in positions of power have been going through so many years and are becoming way comfortable exposing their hatred towards Jews so we're saying enough no more excuses you're asking to have consequences and now they're going to see that we are no longer willing to say perhaps they are educated misinformed it's 2023 it can be misinformed it can be uneducated no more excuses no more laziness grabbing on to getting above words it's time to have accountability for Iraq and David one of the issues that we in a newsroom and newsrooms around the world are dealing with is the issue around the verifying of facts a particular example was a hospital that was hit early on in the war very soon after that happened Israel was blamed but then when the facts were actually unpacked it was the Palestinian rocket from the PIJ that actually caused the damage and the death toll that had initially been reported was in fact not the case at all however not only had some media already gone with the wrong story but certainly on social media that message had gone viral how does an organization like yours get involved in a situation like that unpacking facts and making sure that fake news doesn't go viral absolutely so with regards to that essentially what we do is we have so far over the first five days we've grown to almost 12,000 so a large part of that is actually users sort of follower generated reporting right so a lot of the times we'll have essentially someone report such events occurring and it's our job basically to go ahead verify that information that in fact this person is spreading this information go ahead report that and essentially for us on our page we go ahead and you know really try to emphasize and put people on notice for spreading false information specifically after the fact right beyond the problem that you know most of the media organizations ran with Hamas propaganda what we've seen is essentially people continuously put out false information after the fact that it's already been verified so those are really the people that we continue to spotlight go after and make sure that you know we're sort of correcting their false information online David and Noah my colleague Guy is here in studio as well joining our conversation Guy David and Noah hi you know I've been speaking to our correspondents the borders both in the south and in the north just yesterday and wishing both of them to stay safe wherever they are at the same time just yesterday I spoke to a Jewish student in Canada who is also in fear these days she is in fear both of expressing what she feels and what she believes in but also just for her own life and this is what I want to ask you about to what extent is this become so difficult for Jews to even be walking around the streets and campuses around the US and Canada these days absolutely oh please please not you want me to go okay first of all we really understand that they are afraid we would like to say that you should not be afraid that's what they want if you're scared and you're fighting they're winning don't be afraid be out there show your Jewish identity you can't hide it that's what happened two decades ago and we already know the answer we already know what happened not going to happen we need to show united from front don't hide don't need to get into confrontation but do not hide we really make advice that I'm giving and if you're in the US and you're in a state that allows it I would suggest to get armed get brain get defense defense lessons oh my God you have a variety of options but do not be scared get strong or physically and mentally we're all in this together and David your thoughts and to echo that statement I actually have my eldest niece who's a freshman out of university in Canada so that certainly hits close to home for me but I would echo Noah's statement it's truly about being confident not being scared but also being wise there's a very fine line between being confident and being seeking trouble so to speak we're not encouraging anyone to go ahead that puts them in danger however we are encouraging pride and I would just say as a message to all the students we have your back and essentially we're building this database to be made available to specific institutions across the board whether it's communities A for our community number one beyond that I would say government agencies as Noah mentioned earlier whether different medical boards law boards things of that nature so with regards to that again we're cataloging a global database we're not only based in the United States I mean a handful of us are in the United States but we have a global database that we're building and we plan to have this be the one stop shop a go to place for all incidents regarding Jew hatred to again not only raise awareness but to create real life consequences that are available to landlords, employers different government agencies to make sure that you know badger very proud Jew hatred that these people are expousing today stays with them for the rest of their lives David Kay live from New York Noah Lindberg in Miami thank you both so much for speaking to us appreciate your time on this breaking news edition Can I add one more thing if we have time Very briefly please Because I'm seeing the title anti-Semitism I'd like to talk about that for 30 seconds we believe that anti-Semitism is a really weak word that has a not strong enough and some people are using it against us because they're saying it's worse semi how come we're anti-Semitism we are using today the word Jew hatred something powerful aggressive as it's this meaning so it's really important that we use clear words we need to all coordinate in order to better communicate and educate so if any of you I know you're used to saying anti-Semitism please view hate or anti-Jew Thank you so much Keep up with us JewHateDB.org Noah David thank you both so much appreciate you speaking to us thank you and now let's check back in to Tel Aviv senior correspondent Owen Ultiman is at the Israeli defense headquarters where the families of the 13 known hostages Owen are still waiting for answers this agonizing wait what is the latest there That's right Benita setting up shop across the street from Israel is Kyriot defense headquarters let you take a quick look at the scene darkness now descending with Israel on wintertime but I think you can hear the prayers and the songs of the people gathered here both members of the hostages families and also activists who have come here to show support for those families and for their cause it is as you mentioned Israel's defense headquarters meant to send a message to Israel's military and political leadership it's also Benita poignantly along Kaplan Street the same street that just until about a month ago was known for something very different the protests week in week out against Israel's proposed judicial overhaul obviously feels like a long ago memory as again the public agenda has changed so much but you can see the hundreds of people coming out here the tense the signs that we've gotten to know of those hostages and the activists here not only family members but also activists here to support the family members of those 230 hostages held by Hamas and others in Gaza Benita and oh and reports of course that Qatar is involved here reports of a potential prisoner swap what is the latest on that front briefly please well listen up until a couple days ago Benita there have been all sorts of reports about purported progress and negotiations the Israeli government Israeli military have rejected has to be said that a lot of those reports were coming from cuttery and Egyptian media and sources who may have their own reasons for putting out those reports whether they do or do not reflect the actual progress although we should say there was at least one report that cited U.S. officials be that all as it may Prime Minister Netanyahu last night Israel time during his press conference was very very clear his strategy he says is to press forward with Israel's campaign inside Gaza and through that to bring pressure to bear the best case scenario to use special forces to go and free the hostages on their own Benita senior correspondent Owen Ultiman live from Tel Aviv thank you very much for that update Avipa snare we don't have much time left but your parting thoughts on what the families of the 230 hostages are going through right now it's unimaginable it's unimaginable and everyone can see on himself what would happen to him if one of his children or family was kidnapped but I must say that there is an outpouring of solidarity from the Israeli society in the first week you couldn't feel it so much because everybody was in utter shock about the murder but now they can feel embraced by the whole Israeli public opinion no doubt the heart of the country is with the families of the hostages and of course everybody hoping that they will be freed and will be able to come home Avipa snare Guy Israel thank you both very much for being here for this breaking news edition but that is where we wrap up for now I'm Denise Levine in Tel Aviv our coverage continues thank you for watching stay tuned we just don't know anything entire families including babies and children and elderly were butchered in their beds awaken the giant and we are ready and we are strong everyone is showing up this is the unity welcome you're watching i24 news coming to you live from Tel Aviv on this day 23 of Israel's war with Hamas some breaking news in the last few minutes there's been a direct hit from a rocket a house in the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona the authorities are checking if there are any casualties these are live pictures coming to us from Kiryat Shmona that's a town in the north of Israel sirens went off earlier a missile or a rocket was fired from inside Lebanon that's according to the information we have it is unknown if this was fired by Palestinian groups operating inside Lebanon or by Hezbollah that of course would mark a significant escalation you can see firefighters at the scene so a direct hit on a house in Kiryat Shmona sirens were blaring right before so we would hope that whoever was in there got themselves to a bomb shelter but this is what we're dealing with right now in the north of Israel that's a direct hit on a house in Kiryat Shmona in just a few moments we will head to the north our correspondent Piaz Zeklebach is there she'll have the very latest for us in just a couple of moments but first let's head to the south of Israel where after ongoing airstrikes and a series of overnight raids the IDF is now in control of parts of northern Gaza Israeli media says there were clashes today between IDF troops and Palestinian gunmen who burst out of a tunnel at central and southern Israel from Gaza as well the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apologised after he was roundly criticised for laying the blame on his own defence and intelligence chiefs for the October 7th attacks US President Joe Biden will speak with Netanyahu later tonight but let's get the very latest from the south now our Mary McCauley reports now from Sterot Mary can you tell us more about the incident earlier where the soldiers engaged in gun battles with Palestinian terrorists Yes Laura so we're still waiting for more details on the IDF about exactly what happened but we're seeing the reports coming out that there were a number of Hamas militants who tried to come from outside a tunnel inside the Gaza strip but very close to the area's crossing we're seeing that reports that they were all subdued and eliminated by IDF but as you can see behind me if you just saw those light flashes a moment ago this is an area this area here and what we've seen them doing in the last hour since it got dark is dropping these light bombs so which fall very slowly they don't make a sound on impact but what they do is they illuminate an area this suggests to us that the incident is ongoing or at least the IDF is continuing to make sure that they have put down whatever threat it was in this area it's important to know areas is a bit more to my left here and over the northern area of the Gaza strip but this we're looking over is the northwest part of Gaza strip because itself is saying that it's militants, it's terrorist fighters are engaged in a number of gun battles with heavy machine guns and they're also using a bunch of anti tank and heavy anti machinery to try and thwart Israeli troops who are trying to move further south into the Gaza strip we can hear this we've heard a number of different mortar shells presuming also trying to give cover to those Israeli troops who are allegedly trying to advance into Gaza strip we don't have confirmation from the IDF we've been sitting here watching also of course a number of different air strikes which have been targeting this area in parts of northern strip continuing to pound these targets as we've seen over the past couple weeks but we're certainly hearing an increase in military activity there's right now there's a fighter jet flying above my head we've heard a number of different drones throughout the course of the evening today so this is definitely continues to be a very hot active battle area we can see the flashes, we can hear the booms Mary and despite the heavy air strikes Palestinians have still managed to fire rockets out of Gaza today haven't they absolutely we've seen rockets continuing I mean I think at least 20 at this point times that rocket sirens have been going off in Israeli border communities we also saw a number of mortars at least five being fired from this area right where I said they were firing into Israeli communities but we didn't hear rocket sirens so likely was trying to target some military infrastructure in the area with those mortar shells coming from inside the Gaza strip Mary thank you very much indeed Mary McCall if they're at the very hot border as she put it between Israel and Gaza and I'm joined in the studio now by Oya Sakha he's the head of research at the Israel defense and security forum thank you for being with us we'll go to the north in a moment to get the very latest on what's happening there a house has been hit by a rocket in Kyriac but I want to talk about what's going on in Gaza right now because we've had I think three nights now of these kind of incursions into North and Gaza the IDF is now actually in control of territory inside Gaza isn't it? Yeah I believe it is and we don't have too much information and we are pretty grateful that we do because that we don't because as of the moment there is internet and electricity outage around the Gaza strip and I believe that this is a justified measure in order to really move on with the offensive I think the IDF is really a strategic objective here of eliminating Hamas that would mean that we have to take over every square meter of the Gaza strip gradually that would have to happen militarily it's impossible to do otherwise but now we are beginning to see it on the go now what's interesting is that yesterday the press conference all three Prime Minister Netanyahu Minister Gallant and Minister Gantz said that the ground offensive would not only make the prospects of bringing back the hostages further away but actually could help in those efforts so I believe this is a combined effort to eliminate Hamas and to bring back the hostages yes because there is some debate isn't there if those two goals are mutually exclusive right and I don't think they are in fact I mean if you have a ground offensive it makes sense that the more you approach the hostages the more you have the chance to release them because we saw how diplomatic pressure has its limits there's a ground ceiling really a glass ceiling of pressure on the Qatari government the Iranian government on the Egyptians at the end of the day if you don't have to release those hostages what we will see is what the IDF officials called the drip drop of Hamas fudging us and every other day it releases another two hostages and we fudge it for months and this is precisely what Hamas want this is precisely what Qatari wants and I don't believe that Israel should give them that advantage the same time you've got an awful lot of diplomatic pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire the United States so far is standing firm with Israel and it's right to defend itself you have got other countries who are urging Israel to halt the bombing at least temporarily to allow aid into guards and civilians yeah and that's precisely what they call not everything that shines is gold at the end of the day what we need now is escalation it's not de-escalation and people in the world need to understand this I think we are in good terms with the United States and we see things eye to eye you heard John Kirby said there is no daylight between Israel and the United States at the end of the day if all European nations but Austria which is very interesting vote either in favor of a ceasefire or abstain that means that we have some daylight with some European nations here despite their very you know very notable support I do think that what we need now is escalation because the scale of the victory in the Gaza Strip would be translated into strength in other fronts you mentioned the northern front we could talk about Saudi Arabia and Iran at the end of the day if we win in Gaza that would mean they would bring the prospects to peace with Saudi Arabia with the rest of the Arab and Sunni world closer still while strengthening the deterrence against Hezbollah and Iran but Israel is very much stealing itself for a long war this is nothing like the operations that we've seen in the past is that this could take many many months right absolutely and we saw how the defensive shield operation in 2002 lasted 35 days but then up until June 2007 even it could have lasted and the really mowing the lawn in the Gaza Strip will take months even years but right now the primary stage of this war doesn't need to take you know a year it could take a few months of clearing up these hornest nests we have seen the results of the Israeli neglect for decades now and the containment strategy of allowing the Hamas threat to metastasize and to build up its force and at the end of the day if we don't want to see that ever happen again these 1400 people murdered we need to see this war reaching its objectives and Israel will face a determined foe once it moves in fully into the ground offensive we know we've seen how embedded Hamas terrorists are into the civilian infrastructure in Gaza most notably of course in the hospital in Gaza city their tunnels run underneath they are trying to get civilians to say this is a very very difficult war for Israel isn't it? This is an extremely dense urban setting it's not the most densely populated urban area in the world as opposed to what you know it is claiming many reports it doesn't even crack the top 100 but it's still a very densely populated urban setting and we do know that once they are the idea for the face snipers that would face you know ammunition fire and at the end of the day you have the underground network and we see right now well according to press reports not to my intimate knowledge but according to press reports that could be use of robots and other means like dogs and third parties to enter these tunnels before IDF soldiers do in order to first keep them safe and second to see what's underneath them and we've seen some of them already destroyed from the bombs falling on them above yeah we saw actually clouds of fire IDF was bombarding one side and we saw a cloud of dust coming out of the other side which indicates basically the distance of a tunnel I do think that this is one of the major challenges the IDF is facing right now if it was only above ground that would be something completely different let's head to the north then where we've had that news of a rocket falling on a house in the northern town of Kyrie in the last hour is there any casualties in that missile strike right Laurie it seems like there were no casualties although you're right now seeing those images of the house that was struck by a rocket it set the entire house on fire we're talking about Kyriat Shmona a town that was only now evacuated only a few kilometers away from the Lebanese border throughout the week people have been leaving that area about a bit more than half an hour ago Siren sounded there we apparently are speaking about two scenes of impacts that one house terribly struck there the entire house was set on fire there the IDF is still investigating that incident but apparently according to initial reports we are speaking about six rockets that were launched from southern Lebanon into that Israeli territory Kyriat Shmona a city in the eastern part of the Israel-Lebanese border there city that was just now evacuated and that alert sounded just a few minutes after the city of Rojpina the town of Rojpina and a few other communities in that area had rockets as well that is about 30 kilometers away from the Lebanese border there one rocket was intercepted one fell into open area and that really shows you that the pace of the incidents intensify like it is the case many times especially in the evening hours here and in general the scumishes between Israel and Lebanese factions and specifically Hezbollah are intensifying really all along the border here that that impacted the house a very good example for the fact that indeed those communities needed to be evacuated because the danger coming from these factions shelling with water shells and also launching rockets is very imminent as the northern front is and remains to be very volatile Laura so Pia these were Palestinian groups operating inside southern Lebanon who fired these rockets is that correct and they have to operate with the agreement of Hezbollah don't they exactly Laura that incident is still under investigation Palestinian factions have been operating in southern Lebanon for a very long time they've also been active that round of fighting since the war began here we've seen also Palestinian groups trying to infiltrate into Israeli territory here they were struck by the Israeli Air Force here stationed alongside the border but of course southern Lebanon are if you will the in southern Lebanon Hezbollah is the land lord so any action also coming from a Palestinian group is assumed to be coordinated with Hezbollah there that is known to work together with Palestinian groups also work under the wider leadership of Iran we've just today heard a statement coming from the Iranian president Ibrahim Raisi saying on Twitter or acts how it is called now that the Zionist regime this is how he calls Israel is crossing a red line forcing everyone to act and this is not the first statement of that kind coming from the Iranian regime the foreign minister having visited the Hezbollah leader Hassan Asrallah two weeks ago saying almost the same thing that they are going to react according to Israeli operations now as you can see we are hearing also that's what we've been hearing here we are on the western side of the border we have been hearing some Israeli artillery also here striking that front is very volatile Kiryat Shmon and also Rojpina those communities that had rocket fire about in the last hour being located in the eastern part of the border but also here on the very western side we are hearing Israeli artillery striking towards the direction of southern Lebanon we are hearing another rocket alert in the community of Shlomi that's another community very very close to the Lebanese border about two kilometers away rocket alert there right now alright Pia thanks very much indeed so a direct hit on a house in Kiryat Shmona in the north of Israel no reports of any casualties and sirens blaring further attacks on Shlomi Rojpina or other communities close to the northern border Yesakha is here with me in the studio with a significant escalation in the north in recent days but these are Palestinian groups operating inside Lebanon this is not Hezbollah even if they may be acting in conjunction Right but let's not delude ourselves I mean anything that happens in southern Lebanon happens with Hezbollah's blessing and approval there is no other possibility for that to happen we need to understand this well when the IDF is actually striking Hezbollah targets as a response to Hamas swing of southern Lebanon attacking Hezbollah is precisely because they know that Hezbollah approves and gives their blessing to these kind of attacks now your report mentioned Iran they're absolutely right I mean Iran is behind Hamas and Hezbollah full stop and we did see the statements by the Iranian leader just yesterday saying that it is time for Israel to die this is precisely what he said and he also noted looking at the United States we know that where their bases are located in Iraq and in Syria and in the United States and he threatened the United States Right and I think you know he's playing a really kind of a dangerous game here didn't say we will attack your bases but he said we are aware where these bases are and his foreign minister saying you know they will not be spared you know passive form I think they're playing a very dangerous game here Alright thank you well more rockets fired at the north while we are on air the community is close to the border with Lebanon and Israel is of course dealing with the worst hostage crisis in its history dozens of children and elderly people are among the hostages being held in Gaza 222 of them many foreign or dual nationals as well well some of their families met with Prime Minister Netanyahu last night they're meeting now with the defence minister Yoav Galant as well and they say they fear the military offensive in Gaza could hurt their chances of ever seeing their loved ones alive again the government though insists freeing the hostages and destroying Hamas are not mutually exclusive our senior defence minister Jonathan Recker reports two different objectives perhaps contradicting each other but both absolutely crucial for Israeli success in this war our forces are currently operating on the ground in the Gaza Strip the objectives of the war require a ground operation and as we know no victory can come without a price there's no doubt that a ground operation is needed but the price this time can be very high maybe too high at least 230 hostages are held in Gaza their families are going through a living hell and are extremely concerned that the ground maneuver which began on a small scale on Friday night may lead to an even more dangerous situation we are very worried about our dearest that they are there and we don't know that if the military operation take all these hostages under consideration along with the ground operation a first signal from Hamas leader Ikhia Sinwar came over the weekend Sinwar, a former prisoner himself who was released in an exchange is well aware of the sensitive sentiment in Israeli society regarding hostages all for all all Israeli hostages for all Palestinian prisoners his message already echoing in Israel from the point of view of the families a deal for the immediate release of family members within the framework of all for all is a consideration and will have broad national support the men who has to decide about that is prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the president of more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one Israeli soldier in the 2011 deal freeing Gila Chalit in a meeting with hostages families on Saturday night he promised to do everything to release them we will do everything possible to bring them home it was true before and after any ground invasion it's an integral part of our operation and we will do everything we can Israeli ground forces raising the Israeli flags deep inside the Gaza Strip and promising to defeat Hamas on one hand 230 hostages lying deep in the Gaza underground tunnels waiting to be released on the other can Israel succeed on both missions clearly a very tough question Israel says it's recalling its diplomats from Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed a huge pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul yesterday during that he accused Israel of war crimes and occupation earlier in the week he praised Hamas and said it was wrong to call them terrorists all of this just months after Israel and Turkey restored full diplomatic ties as part of a major rapprochement with me in the studio Dr. Hay Eitan Cohen Yanar Ocak is a Turkey expert at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security thanks for being with us Erdogan went even further last night aside from all the other things he said he basically threatened Israel he said his forces could come in the night at any time how do you explain such rhetoric from a supposed ally it's very problematic first of all it's not the first time that he is using this sentence he in the past used the same sentence for other adversaries such as the PKK, PYD, ISIS etc he also threatened Greece many times so unfortunately it's not unprecedented I heard his speech and there he made an emphasis on terror organizations but the problem here he made this emphasis on terrorist organizations and then he mentioned the sentence but the problem is during the same speech he described Israel as an organization but not as a terror organization but in a vague manner as an organization so you could only dream if he mentioned about this particular sentence was about Israel or was it about the other terror organizations that Turkey is fighting against so it's very vague it's not clear he may say that no I didn't say such a thing against Israel or anyways yes so we cannot say that yes he said it against Israel but many people interpreted that it was said against Israel and this is also problematic because he did not deliver any correction or he didn't say that no I didn't mean that against Israel so this is also something very problematic and of course he has been the one in charge while Israel and Turkey have been repairing their relations which suffered back in 2010 he's the one that wanted to pursue a rapprochement just explain for us the Israeli and Turkish economies are pretty intertwined I think Israel imports I think it's $7 billion worth of goods from Turkey every year both countries are collaborating there is a growing cooperation and even if the fact that we are witnessing some ups and downs this never affected the exports and imports by the way we should also underline the fact that the balance of exports and imports are in favor of Turkey meaning that in case that the Turks will going to impose on Israel any kind of sanctions it will be an own goal for the Turkish economy so Turkey would suffer more economically than would Israel and first and foremost the Turkish Airlines Tel Aviv Station is the strongest station outside of Turkey why? it's not only because the Israelis are flying to Turkey but it's also because of the transit flights many Israelis prefer to fly with Turkish Airlines to other destinations in the world by using Istanbul as an important aviation hub but in case of such an escalation and we will not see the Israelis the Israeli diplomats in Turkey and the travel warning which is declared by the Israeli Government it's now four out of four which means that no Israelis the Israelis are advised not to go to Turkey so in this such a thing I do not think that Israelis would choose Turkish Airlines or any other Airlines via Turkey and by the way the Turks are not flying here they stopped their flights they are saying that it's because of security and I cannot now at least I cannot blame them but since other airline companies are flying to Israel so this should be also you know seen with a huge question mark of course Turkey is a member of NATO do you expect her to want to face in the Europeans? Well in NATO there is no such a mechanism that you can kick out a member when they designed NATO they did not think about these kind of Trojan horses so now we have two different we have two different ways or you should tame Turkey you should come and persuade Turkey that its foreign policy is not acceptable you know you should calm down Ankara or you should basically form another security umbrella organization similar to NATO and there you will not you will not allow admit Turkey to be part of it but it's very complicated I really don't think that it will happen in the very near future so I believe that the United States administration will most likely to focus on its arms transfers to Turkey and may impose sanctions on it and just a word if you were on the Jewish community to still live in Turkey this is a very problematic issue today the chief Rabbi of Turkey visited Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan at his palace in Ankara because it is the Republic Day the Independence Day of Turkey so it was a huge celebration there I saw the short video that how president greeted the chief Rabbi and how chief Rabbi tried to hug him to tell him that he is very tense so I really felt I did not feel very comfortable seeing seeing our chief Rabbi in Turkey in such a situation I hope you don't mind me pointing at you were born and raised in Turkey yes I was did you experience anti-semitism in Turkey is it widespread I left Turkey in 2006 and Turkey of 2006 and Turkey of 2023 is two different planets right in 2006 they were still trying to join the EU I witnessed very light anti-semitisms that you would not maybe call it today anti-semitism when you compare with the current situation but my memories in Turkey they were all positive and I really like the country that I grew up and now I am looking at the country that I grew up and I cannot believe in my eyes that how anti-semitism rose and how anti-Israel sentiments unfortunately dominated not only the Islamists but also the secular people anti-Israel sentiments also among them Thank you very much we're going to take a short break news just in 10 rockets fired into Israeli territory from Lebanon we'll get the very latest for you on that after the break there has been a direct hit on the northern town of Kyrie no reports thankfully of any casualties stay tuned Israel is officially in a state of war this is a very active scene and we need to get in the car as we're talking within 100 soldiers and civilians have been kidnapped we just don't know anything entire families including babies and children and elderly were butchered in their beds awaken the giant and we are ready and we are strong everyone is showing up this is the unity and the way that it works is it generates this random unity that kind of looks like a sponge and it evaluates its behavior investment in Israel bonds it is the most powerful and direct way to stand with Israel visit israelbonds.com and invest now for me official dresser of i24 news good evening ladies and gentlemen back this is i24 news we're coming to you live from Tel Aviv on this day 23 of Israel's war with Hamas and there have been significant developments in the north of Israel tonight some 10 rockets fired at northern Israel from southern Lebanon in the last hour including this a direct hit on a residential home in the northern town of Kiryat Shmona no reports as yet of any casualties but some 10 rockets fired from southern Lebanon purported from Palestinian groups who are operating inside southern Lebanon with the permission to do so from the Iranian backed Lebanese Shiite organization Hezbollah which controls southern Lebanon so there we can see a direct hit fired a private home in the town of Kiryat Shmona which has only now been evacuated sirens have been blaring across the north all evening 10 rockets fired into Israeli territory from southern Lebanon so that is the situation now meanwhile of course the war goes on inside Gaza the IDF is now in control of parts of northern Gaza after a series of overnight incursions limited incursions into Gaza and of course continuing airstrikes the IDF says it hit some 450 Hamas targets today well with me in the studio Abi Paz now is the former Israeli ambassador to France and Italy great to see you good to have you back and oh yes a hi is with us as well and or is the head of research at the IDSF the security forces we're going to first though leave because the families of some of the 222 hostages are gathered tonight remember that many children and elderly people are among them they've now been held by terrorists in Gaza for 23 days an unthinkable situation for anyone our own ultimate is down their own what's happening so Laura you'll be able to see all around me the tent set up here and the protesters and supporters and members of the families there are songs and by guitars there are prayers and there are wishes of course for the speedy return home of those 230 hostages and of course calls for the Israeli government to do more with us we have Yamit Keren who is a logistics coordinator of the tent here being set up across from the Israeli military headquarters in central Tel Aviv Yamit thanks so much for being with us you yourself are not from one of the 200 one of the families of the 230 hostages but nonetheless what brought you to get so involved in this protest movement basically to be here for the families anything that they need from the smallest to the largest they are completely traumatized right now and need our help with logistics with emotional support with just being here and saying you're not alone that's what brought me here are you satisfied by the response from the Israeli public to the tent camp to the protest here and to the issue of the hostages in general I think the Israeli public is all in here it's in every one of our hearts I think we go to sleep with it I think we wake up with it as you can see it's towards the afternoon and in the evening it fills up here there's another station on the other side by the Israeli public yes and what about the government how do you feel about the government's move so far in this issue of the hostages to be completely honest I don't know I feel disappointed until yesterday the most important thing I think didn't happen which was the connection and the communication between the government and the families yesterday Netanyahu did have a meeting with the families they need to be in close touch because the families were completely devastated on Thursday they said that the government was not in touch with them meaning they had no clue what was going on if there is some kind of deal being made they didn't know and in terms of the response abroad we've seen scenes in the United States in Europe as well of pro Hamas or pro Palestinian activists tearing down posters of the hostages when you see those pictures what do you feel first of all it's heartbreaking these are children they're babies there's literally a baby that's only a few months old children that are 2 and 3 years old are grandmothers Holocaust survivors I can't imagine why anyone would want to tear their posters down but on a larger scale it's very worrying because anyone is not sympathized with a victim that was kidnapped and taken hostage by Hamas knowing what they have done three weeks ago that just shows where a lot of people are as far as their mindset towards Jews and towards Israel maybe one last question for those around the world their supporters of Israel are more broadly the humanitarian cause of these hostages what's your message to them what should they be doing day in day out do you mean the humanitarian cause of the Palestinians or of the hostages we need to bring them home we need to bring them home these are not soldiers they're not 20 something girls they're not fighters that went in and were taken these are people that were taken out of their beds we need to bring them home they are not taking care of the least the least that they could do is have the Red Cross visit them to see that the babies have baby food to see that they really have their medicine they are dying every day because they don't have basic needs that they need the Red Cross has to step in to take care of them immediately Yameed thank you so much we want to see them brought home amen thank you so much so Laura there you have it from one of the activists here and again it's important to emphasize these are not only members of the families that you see around me these are also activists and supporters who have come out here on this fall evening in Tel Aviv in the center of the city across in the defense headquarters and ironically maybe you're coincidentally along Kaplan Street a street that just until about a month ago was known for something very different was known as the sinning in the setting for the protests against the government's proposed judicial overhaul that changed thank you very much indeed really heartbreaking scenes there Avipazna I just want to touch on what Yameed was talking about there we've seen really upsetting scenes haven't we from America but also in European cities of people tearing down posters of the hostages you worked and served a long time in these countries how do you get your head around that first of all I must say that Yameed really gave us a dark but very accurate picture of what's going on and it is heartbreaking for me not only that we have hostages but over the world that some people do not realize and do not sympathize and I can tell you that clearly part of it is a raw anti-Semitism because I'm not speaking now about Muslim or Arabs living in Europe or in America but for example I have seen in the United States young Jews go young Jews I don't even know they have a name it's a group of about 150 people young Jews they go they were in the senate demonstrating against Israel then they went to the underground and then they were at Washington Square and I cannot understand I really cannot understand there is a hole in the United States on the campuses there is a pro Hamas trend and it's hard for me to understand I spent years in America I don't understand what happened people tell me it's a cultural thing the woke culture a lot of peer pressure perhaps on the younger people peer pressure but I must say most of it and I'm sorry to say most of it when it comes from non-Jews it's anti-Jewish feelings which have surged you know that you are anti-Jew or even anti-Zionist today it's open and we have to sorry to interrupt you do you think the European governments people like President Macron have a handle on it do you think they have a I know that they are trying very hard you know that Macron for example has forbidden forbidden pro-Palestinian rallies because of the cause for Jihad and the unrest but I see for example in London 100,000 people demonstrated against Israel and I must say there is a discrepancy here between the attitude of the European governments who are friendly towards Israel who understand our struggle and part of the public opinion who is against us who is against us maybe because of the picture they see from Gaza those are difficult pictures they've forgotten already what happened three weeks ago some of them actively deny it of course I don't want to be too blunt here but let me just tell you there is in the book called by Jerry Muller the Jerry Muller's book he describes what the situation in the triangle in foreign countries the leader the Jewish community and the general public and the Jewish community always felt that if they are kind enough and if they are complacent enough then the third part the third corner of the triangle which is the general public would not blame them as a fifth column and we are seeing the results of these guilt feelings today manifesting in full display I think they need to ramp up their true feelings I don't think they represent the majority of the Jewish community but of the kind that arises nationalist and really Jewish feelings among these people to make them realize who they really are because I don't think they represent the majority of the Jewish community there but they are simply confused I think they are lost young people who are desperately trying to please maybe their comrades and their peers I don't think they represent the majority I think they are confused and lost and I think they need to be properly in order to actually know what's going on in Israel right now and that's really heartbreaking to see it but I think that there is a remedy to these things called Zionism make them all come here we've seen the angry protests on the streets of Arab capitals as well perhaps less surprising and I should also point out that there's been a protest today outside the Qatari embassy in London with people demanding the return of the hostages as well but let's talk a bit more about diplomacy in the Arab region and joining me to talk about the situation in Arab capitals as the war between Israel and Hamas rages on Dr. Naseer Al-Amari is a writer and a political commentator great to have you with us Naseer and let's start with Qatari shall we I mean if they don't get a result with regard to freeing the hostages because they position themselves don't they as a key negotiator between Hamas and the west do you think that in Washington let's reevaluate these ties with Doha what do they actually bring us Qatari is extremely important for the United States and we have seen the role that it played during the Ukraine war with its gas resources so it's hard for the United States to take a tough stance when it comes to its Gulf allies Qatari presents itself as a mediator they don't necessarily align openly with Hamas they always say we are talking to them we're facilitating aid to the Ghazans and they do play an important role in financing the Ghazan people I think that role should be continued however I think Al-Jazeera is a whole different story Al-Jazeera has adopted completely the Hamas viewpoint they have adopted a jihadi viewpoint you don't see the Israeli viewpoint and that is dangerous because that is not journalism they are widely watched and actually Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran rely heavily on Al-Jazeera to fuel the hatred which they think is the true weapon against Israel in the long run and a word on Egypt if you would of course Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace agreement with Israel but in the last week Egypt has warned Israel it may limit diplomatic relations with Jerusalem how concerned should Israel be about the noises coming out of Cairo right now we know that they are in a difficult position they control the only other border with Gaza and what do you think about the messaging from Cairo okay Cairo has to walk on a tightrope like the Israelis and the Americans with the escalation of the war in Gaza and God forbid more civilians die or are killed in bigger numbers regimes like C.C. King of Jordan Muhammad bin Salman who actually represent the pro-peace block will be very embarrassed you have angry streets and Iran and Al-Jazeera and other media are fueling the idea that these are these regimes are actually pro-Israel and pro-America so there is a balancing act that I think Mr. Biden is trying to maintain but it gets very hard with more people dying we have seen demonstrations in Jordan and in Cairo so I think the bottom line for C.C. and King Abdullah is that if no Ghazans and no refugees are pushed into our countries then they will try to work with the U.S. and Israel to contain the situation mind you these Gulf countries C.C. King of Jordan they are no friends of Hamas they actually stand on the opposite side of the Iranian slash Hamas jihadi equation and they don't like what Hamas did they don't see it as a victory so they are on the U.S. side when it comes to how this is viewed however the escalation of death and destruction in Ghazan will definitely make C.C. and King Abdullah as we have seen escalate at least verbally but that can really change if God forbid more deaths keep occurring the way we have seen them do and let's talk about the Gulf states the Saudi defense minister is in Washington tonight there are also reports that Bahrain's foreign minister is in Ramallah meeting with the leaders of the Palestinian Authority and how do you see the way the Gulf states are positioning themselves in the conflict well I can see the obvious which is the U.S. Israeli strategy in the Middle East is faulty and it has really given Iran the upper hand when it comes to the messaging losing hearts of minds definitely has been an American trade over the last 20 years so Iran looks at this and they're happy to see this chaos and but I think that Gulf allies are trying to bring back a role for the United States where these regimes are not viewed as just followers of Israel and the United States when their brotherhoods are being killed and their homes destroyed so I think that the Gulf countries want to see a more assertive U.S. role talking about civilians and bringing for civilians because if this keeps escalating and if we're talking about a regional war make no mistake about it these regimes are threatened especially Jordan probably Egypt these regimes might actually be threatened by a wider role where Iran implements its long term strategy of having everybody shoot at Israel from all directions which I think not enough has been done to prevent. Thank you very much indeed Dr. Nessia Alamari Thank you If you'd like to react to that I mean when it comes to Egypt and the Gulf countries of course we are on the same side we want to defeat Hamas and they want to defeat the Muslim Brotherhood. Or is it because we know that Egypt has been harboring Hamas for years we know that Egypt has practically forced build up the Gaza Strip for years and President Nessia was at first very friendly to Israeli he acted to ramp up all the houses on the other side of the Rafah crossing and to actively prevent tunnels from delivering weapons smuggling into the Gaza Strip but then things start to go wrong and we are seeing CC today basically refusing to accept refugees from Gaza and for the past several years not acting in order to mitigate the terror threat through the tunnels we are seeing interests in the Arab world for this to end but in order for Israel and the Arab world to get closer together we need to have a strong victory in Gaza if Israel shows weakness on the Gaza front it would be automatically in the Middle East it was based on the power principle translated into weakness. Avi do you agree with that and are you concerned about the long-term impact on Israel's relations that it has cultivated over decades with countries like Egypt, Jordan Egypt has its interest which has not changed as a result of what is going in Gaza it's true there are some tension now with Egypt especially because of the public opinion in Egypt who ask government why don't we do more for the Palestinian for example like why don't we let some in into Sinai or a question like that or when they see the scenes of the bombing in Gaza but Egypt has a strategic interest in maintaining the peace with Israel it's possible that they will do some diplomatic gesture very possible for example in the first Lebanese war in 1982 in the pre-history they withdrew their ambassador for two or three years we did not have an Egyptian ambassador here it was a charging affair it may happen but let's not forget limiting diplomatic gestures to show public opinion look we are doing something we are recalling our ambassador that can happen but this is the same Assisi who six years or seven years ago asked for the help of the Israeli Air Force in order to quell the Daesh ISIS in Sinai and it can happen again so I am from this point of view this is a peace that exists already 43-44 years it will continue because it is in the interest of Egypt there might be some limited diplomatic hard but in the long term you're confident about the relationship Egypt is a major recipient of US dollars absolutely they might have bigger problems let's talk a bit more about Qatar a country that certainly doesn't have economic problems it has positioned itself as the key to the hostage negotiations but Doha hosts the Hamas leadership at the same time it hosts the US largest military presence in the region how did this small resource rich country have in such a key position our Middle East correspondent Aril Osaran explains our target is to release all of the civilian hostages that's what we're working on and that's what we want to achieve three weeks after Hamas's deadly rampage in Israel which included the capture of 230 hostages Qatar has quickly emerged as the main mediator between Israel and Hamas if there is a continuing bombing if there is a continuing escalation in the situation that is getting more difficult the mediators need a period of calm needs a situation where we can speak easily to both parts and try to be more creative in bringing more initiatives that can get those civilians out since October 7th Qatar has been the address of various countries for help in releasing their citizens from Hamas captivity it has also been hosting the Hamas leadership prior to the war and since it began we will release them and the Al-Qasim Brigades announced that as well but now they are distributed in different locations let them stop this aggression and you will find the mediators like Qatar and some Arab countries like Egypt and others they will find the way to have them released and we will send them to their families so how did a small oil-rich country in the Persian Gulf become a large country in the Persian Gulf become the one that decides what happens in Gaza in recent years as Arab countries have been embattled with internal conflicts Qatar fashioned itself as the main financial supporter of the Gaza Strip we are here to assure the Palestinian people that were with you with the reconstruction in Gaza and with fulfilling the commitments made by the state of Qatar in previous international conferences billions of dollars entered Gaza each month with Israeli consent to fund humanitarian projects and to improve the economic situation in Gaza but much of that money found its way into the hands of Hamas that's no surprise given its closest regional allies are Iran and Turkey Qatar is playing here a double game on one hand its role in putting out fires in the region awarded with points from the Middle East to Washington Qatar considers Doha as a major non-Nado ally on the other hand it uses its influential Al Jazeera TV network to incite against Israel and Jews and to promote Hamas propaganda for the Qataris it's all about regional influence and it is currently positioned at the heart of hostage negotiation efforts whether that engagement is in good faith remains to be seen that's the situation in Qatar to bring you up to date with some of the diplomatic developments the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the French President Emmanuel Macron are both calling for urgent aid to flow into Gaza Norway meanwhile has criticised Israel and says its response to the Hamas attacks were disproportionate in the reaction Avi Pazna we should have gone in and cut the throat of 15 babies in Gaza then Norway would be very happy or we would have maybe to rape some women in Gaza and Norway would have said this is a proportionate response there is no such thing as a proportionate response to terrorism either you fight terrorism or you don't and of course Norway who has nice neighbours like Sweden and Finland has not fought a war for 500 years so they don't understand the situation then from Macron and Rishi Sunak what do you think they want urgent aid to get to Gaza I can understand when you see the images in Gaza there is a humanitarian problem which also Israel is aware of and this is like we allow the flow of food and medicine and water into Gaza I got to tell you both Macron and Sunak are in a very deep political turmoil right now they have internal pressure to say something about the Palestinians given their unequivocal support for Israel and I sort of understand that but let's not forget what Norway does here every time I am looking into the accounts and the animal reports of an NGO that is pro-Palestinian that propagates lies on Israel all around the world there you have the name of the Norwegian government you have Norway's name fingerprints all over the financing of these NGOs who are trashing Israel's name around the world who would really expect anyone to avoid these all of these


Today Jarvis and I are going to take a look at the disgusting special effects makeup kit Apparently it's gruesome You can learn how to do all the effects that they do in the movies Excuse that horn in the background. Beep beep So we're gonna bust hang on I'll show you the back We're gonna bust this thing open in a minute show you what's inside and we'll have a go at one of them Just like the real movies apparently Scars and burns So let's how you grab it Jarvis.

Show everyone that All right, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna pick one of these special effects and show you how to do it Well, we're making this one there Java says it looks like a bone sticking out. I'm not so sure Does it okay, there you go smart kid All right step one use your finger to dab a tiny amount of red food coloring onto your skin Or maybe we could use green to smooth whenever you want to make a fake word smear the food coloring so that the area Has jagged edges if the color seems too dark add a dab of water and smear that around to lighten the color All right, so we're gonna get a bit of red red food coloring here The red food coloring if you have a normal food coloring I wouldn't use it. I would just use what comes with it just in case it might be special food coloring So we might just just use what comes in your packet. Don't use yours Feels really inky. It feels inky does it right now. That's getting darker though Is that what it's supposed to look like? Jagged edges Maybe like this.

Here we go smear it all over Put on the top of the of the area of the red Over the top there, maybe I'll put a little bit too much on Take some of that It looks really yucky it looks really yucky you like it.  All right, so step three Okay, right I just Cut and or tear two pieces of toilet paper about the same size and shape as the petroleum jelly on your skin Put the pieces of toilet paper side by side on top of the petroleum jelly. Let the jelly soak into the paper All right, give me five seconds. I'll go and grab a tissue He's just so cool in so just take that bit off. Oh, yeah. Let's see what's going on That's all you're stating Right up next step use your stick to stir Use your stir stick to make a dent Down the middle of the wound between the two strips of toilet paper This should look like the place where the skin was cut Smear the edges down of the toilet paper to blend in with your skin So that's gonna stay on the for the trick So it needs to be those needs to be closer together. I'll actually sort of create it a bit of a There it is. Yeah, very cool


Y'all thought that Ace Family did a great job with gas lighting. Keemstar straight up saw that and he was like, here, hold my G Fuel. What is up, everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel's all about mental health. And what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah, I want to start off this video before I jump into the topic of gas lighting to kind of explain a little bit of something I do to work on my mental health.  So I had a lot of anger issues. That's one of the reasons why I started writing that book, because I had a lot of anger issues and I know a lot of other people do too, so I wanted to teach people how I overcame those things.  I looked at everybody and I was just like, look at this jerk, look at this a-hole, look at this person, right? But in an effort to work on myself, like what good was that doing? What was it doing for me? How was that benefiting me in any way, shape, or form? So full disclosure, I don't like Keemstar, love him, don't like him, but anyway, so when I started working on my mental health, when I started seeing these people who I didn't like, I was like, how can I turn that into something that benefits me? How can I take every single situation in my life and use it to improve myself? So what I started to do was look at people who I wasn't a fan of and say, what can I do to avoid being that person, right? So for me, getting sober, it was seeing people with more clean time than me who were jerks or who were miserable or whatever they were, right? And I was like, okay, what can I do to avoid that, right? So that's something that I still do to this day. So when I see bigger YouTubers, when I see people like Keemstar or whatever, like, even though I might not like the guy, like, what can I learn from him, right?  Like, do you guys understand how often we judge people for doing something and we're doing it ourselves? It's something that I noticed when I was doing some writing exercises to kind of figure out the root of my problems. Like, I was judging people for things that I was doing, right? For example, I was judging my parents for how I was raised. But when I got sober, I was being a bad parent to my son. So I'm like, oh, dang. Or when I was writing about my friends, oh, my friends don't show up for me. But then I was looking at myself, I'm like, I don't show up for them. Or, oh, this person lied to me. I'm like, wait, I lie to a lot of people. You see what I mean? So that really showed my own hypocrisy. So there's a lot of self reflection we can do when looking at other people. So Keemstar being a bigger YouTuber, as well as a lot of other YouTubers who I talk about on this channel or who I don't even talk about on this channel, I look at them. And as I rise through the ranks on YouTube, I'm like, OK, what can I do to avoid that? So another good example is when I noticed YouTubers burning out or having mental health issues, I'm analyzing these people and saying, OK, how can I avoid that? So a way that you can use that in your own life. Here's a great example. Aside from looking at people who are jerks or a-holes or whatever. Like, look at people in maybe your career path, right?  Let's say you're a first year teacher. You see a teacher who's been there for 20 years and they're absolutely miserable, right? Look at that person. Maybe have a conversation with them and say, OK, what can I do so I'm not miserable in this job? Does that make sense? Because a lot of us want to rise up in a position at work or whatever it is. But we see other people who are miserable at the place where we want to be. So analyze that situation and then model your life in a way that you avoid the pitfalls that maybe led them on that path. Does that make sense? But you can also do this in a positive way. Find people who are doing great and then model your path after that, all right? So anyways, anyways, let's jump into this, OK? So, yeah, those of you who don't know what gaslighting is, gaslighting is a form of manipulation, OK? It is actually something that originated from a super old movie. I forgot what the name of it was. But it's a technique used by manipulators to make you question your own sanity, OK? This is something that a lot of people have dealt with in abusive relationships and all of that. So I'm going to be using clips from my girl, Ashley Kyle. She has a channel here on YouTube. She's an awesome woman. Go check her channel out. If you want to get the full T on the situation, go check out Ashley Kyle. So I was just kind of on Twitter last night while I was hanging out with Tristan. We were watching YouTube. Have any of you watched that channel, Mr. Gigi? Dude is hilarious, right? But we're looking around on Twitter and I saw that people were losing it over Keemstar and he was getting into it with the Channel T spill. And basically what happened was, was Keemstar compared Erika Costell to Eugenia Cooney. So earlier today, Keemstar tweeted this photo that had the caption, Eugenia Cooney 2019. Now, if you are unaware of who this photo belongs to, it belongs to Erika Costell. Which is Jake Paul's ex-girlfriend? So basically he said Erika Costell was the 2019 Eugenia Cooney because she had a picture and, you know, she looked thin in it. And I've made videos on Eugenia Cooney and I hope, you know, those of you who know my channel, like I legitimately want people to get help. I want people to, you know, learn from others and maybe recognize if they have a problem or whatever. And, you know, even though it's not confirmed and I'm not here to diagnose anybody, like it looks like Eugenia Cooney is very ill and maybe this is anorexia, maybe this is a health issue, whatever it is. But it's a very scary situation here on YouTube because this young woman, you know, isn't doing so great, right?  So basically people were losing it on Twitter, T-Spill jumped into it, Jake Paul jumped into it. And yeah, they were using the word body shaming, okay? So what is body shaming? Body shaming is using a person's body to insult them. Pretty much what it is, right? Calling someone too fat, calling someone too skinny. It's a pretty simple, easy concept to understand. So throughout this, T-Spill was tweeting back at Keemstar and everything. And Keemstar was sending out other tweets and then he manages to start picking on other people. And you guys, like, it's no secret.  I don't like using that word with adults, but that's what the dude is. So anyways, he ends up body shaming another young woman on Twitter. Now in his tweet, he also included a zoomed-in photo of her profile picture. And she's gorgeous, so I don't get it. And obviously, and very clearly, body shaming her. And not only that, but once again, he knew he was throwing her to the wolves to his fans. He knew this. Now the girl went on to quote Tweet Keemstar by saying, Did Keemstar really just tweet my picture body shaming me because I called him trash for body shaming? But then T-Spill brings up a point. She says, you know, it's pretty messed up that this man being the father of a young daughter, you know, for him to go around doing this, right? And Keemstar lost it. So everybody has a hot button and as a parent, I definitely understand that. When people talk about my parenting, it can hit me hard, right? But that's another reason why I got to manage my anger. You know, the other day when somebody made a video about me, they talked about my parenting. And I was surprised at how I handled that because I didn't even bring it up in my response. But yeah, I can definitely empathize with Keemstar, but, you know, they're bringing up a good point. So as influencers, as influencers, like my son is 10, he knows I have a YouTube channel. If he watches my videos, will I feel proud of what he sees? If he sees videos about me, how am I going to talk to him about them and explain them, right? So basically what T-Spill was saying was that it's not healthy for the father of a young daughter to make this kind of statement about Erica Costell.  And that's, you know, I'm trying not to stereotype, but it's something that I know a lot of young women who watch my channel struggle with. They've seen a lot of the comments and everything like that. So anyways, Keemstar jumps on Twitter to snap a T-Spill and he says this. Listen, T, stop talking about my kid. Stop tweeting about my kid. My kid is not online. My kid is not an online personality. My kid is not a YouTuber. Stop talking about my kid.  First of all, I didn't body shame anyone. I didn't. And if you're assuming that based on what I tweeted, then I think the body shamer is you. And in fact, if you have such a problem with body shaming, then why are you ashamed of showing your own face, your own body? You have an online series where you don't even show your face. So let's stop the body shaming right now. What do you look like? Show the whole internet right now who you are and what you look like. Come on. Where's your face? Upload a vlog of you talking or are you ashamed? Do you support body shaming? So what you saw from his earlier tweets as well as this video is Keemstar is gaslighting. Okay? So Keemstar is basically, he's trying to make you feel bad. He's trying to take this thing that he did, the body shaming aspect. And he's saying, no, no, no, no, no. I wasn't doing that. But if you think I was body shaming, then you have an issue. Keemstar gaslighting at its finest, right? So think about an abusive relationship. And no, I'm not saying Keemstar is the same as a domestic abuser. So please don't think I'm saying that. But I'm just giving you an example because gaslighting often happens in abusive relationships. If you even look at the comments on my Austin McBroom AIDS family video, you'll see the comments when I ask people if they've been gaslight lit, right? Where somebody takes something like this, they'll do something to harm you and then try to make you feel bad for it, right? And this is messed up, okay? But thankfully a lot of people on Twitter see through Keemstar's tactics of doing this. And yeah, what he was doing was body shaming. So basically, like my assumption is either he's gaslighting us or we got to feel a little bad for Keemstar because he doesn't understand the definition of body shaming. So one of those two things. On one of them, he's gaslighting the other one. I just feel kind of sorry for the guy.  Keemstar claiming that he doesn't body shame anybody. One of my loyal rewired soldiers out there brought up a good point.  And then Keemstar came at me and he was talking about this. So anyways, here's another lesson for everybody out there. Just remember, use your prefrontal cortex, have some impulse control, get some logical decision making, regulate your emotions because never forget, never forget, the internet is forever. And with all of the tea channels we have out there, with all of the internet investigators out there, just remember you can't get away with saying things and then try to act like you're not that person because there are receipts of these things. You know what I mean?  Don't gaslight people and try, try, try your best to learn lessons from people even if you don't like them. Alright? But anyways, that's all I got from this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos.
