Israel has struck targets in Lebanon, stepping up 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 2: its ground operations in Gaza. This latest military action comes 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rules out a cease fire 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: and dismissed calls for him to resign over security failures 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: that led to the October seventh Thamas attack. 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 3: The only thing that I intend to have resign is Kamas. 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 3: We're going to resign them to the dust benef history. 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 4: That's my goal, that's my responsibility, and that's what I'm 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 4: leading the country to do. 13 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says more than fourteen hundred 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: Israelis were killed in that attack, the largest loss of 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 2: Jewish life since the Holocaust. 16 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: Well Amy Netanyah, who made his evening address in English 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Oliver Crook is in Tel Aviv and has more 18 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: on Netanyahu's message to the international community. 19 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 4: The point that he was making was one that we've 20 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 4: heard many times for the Prime Minister, a question of 21 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 4: moral clarity in making the distinction between the deliberate murder 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 4: of innocent and the unintentional casualties that accompany any war is. 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 5: What he says. 24 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 4: And of course those casualties have exceeded now, according to 25 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 4: the Gazen authorities, more than eight thousand people. And that 26 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 4: is the big question internationally, where is the limit to 27 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 4: self defense? On the question of ceasefires, he says, you 28 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 4: wouldn't have asked for a ceasefire after Pearl Harbor or 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 4: nine to eleven. That a ceasefire is a call for 30 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 4: surrender for Israel is what he said. And regardless of 31 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 4: who stands with Israel, he says, he's going to continue 32 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 4: on this battle. 33 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: And bloombergs Oliver Kuik, reporting from Tel Aviv, says authorities 34 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: in Hamas run Gaza say the death toll since the 35 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: war erupted has surpassed eighty three hundred. 36 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: And back here at Home, Defense Secretary Lloyd to Austin 37 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: and Secretary of State Antony Blincoln will make the case 38 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: that the United States should immediately send aid to both 39 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: Israel and Ukraine. They'll testify at a Senate hearing. As 40 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: House Republicans are taking their own path on aid to Israel. 41 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has that story. 42 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 6: The Republicans introducing a fourteen point three billion dollar aid plan. 43 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 6: The package separate it's Israel aid from a broader Biden 44 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 6: emergency funding request that include Ukraine and Taiwan aid. We'll 45 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 6: have to see what the Speaker will do now. It 46 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 6: pays for the Israel Aid by cutting the Biden Inflation 47 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 6: Reduction Act calling for a fourteen point three billion dollar 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 6: reduction in funding for the IRS. This complicates the process 49 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 6: to get anything done on this, as Democrats in the 50 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 6: Senate and the President himself feel very strongly about that funding. 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 6: Ad Baxter, Bloomberg Radio. 52 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: All right, and thank you well.

The central Bank kept its camp on 57 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: long term yields at one percent and left its negative 58 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: interest rate untouched. 59 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: Staying in Asia, China's factory activity fell back into contraction 60 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 2: in October.

In addition, an expansion 64 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 7: of the services sector unexpectedly eased. The reading suggests the 65 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 7: economy remains fragile and needs further support. The non manufacturing 66 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 7: gauge declined to fifty point six from fifty one point 67 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 7: seven in September, also lower than forecast. The numbers are 68 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 7: skewed due to an eight day holiday at the beginning 69 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 7: of the month, but let's not quibble. Demand remains weak. 70 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 7: In On Kong, Brian Curtis, Bloomberg. 71 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: Radio, All right, Brian, thank you well.

Begain more from 76 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's executive Global Technology editor Tom Giles in San Francisco. 77 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 8: What they're trying to show is that the new line 78 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 8: of chips that they've just unveiled, the M three, is 79 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 8: a kind of chips that's faster, more powerful, and at 80 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 8: the same time more energy efficient. So what they're trying 81 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 8: to do is they're using this new chip to breathe 82 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 8: life into their their Mac product line. 83 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: And Bloomberry's Tom Giles says Mac sales or forecast to 84 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: climb about five percent in the holiday quarter. 85 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: And staying on the tech theme, X, the platform formerly 86 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: known as Twitter, is worth less than half of what 87 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: Elon Musk paid for a year ago.

Musk bought Twitter for 92 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 5: forty four billion dollars. Since the takeover, most of Twitter's 93 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 5: staff was laid off or resigned. Musk renamed the company X, 94 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 5: changed some of its content rules, and has since lost 95 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 5: more than half of its AD revenue in New York. 96 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 5: Charlie Pellett Bloomberg Radio. 97 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: All right, Charlie, thanks now to the latest on the 98 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: Sam Bankman freed fraud trial.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 201 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 6: Good morning. 202 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: I'm Amy Morris. Israel struck targets in Lebanon and stepped 203 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: up its ground operations in Gaza. The latest military action 204 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who rules out a ceasefire. 205 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: We're joined now by Bloomberg's Ross Matheson in London Rods. 206 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: There was a defiant presser from Benjamin Nettnjah who despite 207 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 2: those calls for a ceasefire. What was the main message. 208 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 12: Well, it seemed to be a twofold message from Benjamin 209 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 12: naw who in that press conference yesterday. The first one, 210 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 12: as you say, was to make clear that he's not 211 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 12: interested in a ceasefire right now with Hamas. He just 212 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 12: said the stakes are too high for Israel and the 213 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 12: imperative to strike back is too large. But it was 214 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 12: also about him sort of resetting the narrative a bit 215 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 12: potentially about his own leadership in this minute, as you 216 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 12: were noting, he's been under pressure since the October seventh 217 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 12: attack by Hamas. But the failure of Israel's intelligence services 218 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 12: security services to see this coming, or certainly at least 219 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 12: to ward it off from coming. And he has blamed 220 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 12: others for that and was forced to apologize and retract 221 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 12: a tweet that he did on it. And he was 222 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 12: out there yesterday saying I'm here, I'm leading, I'm still 223 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 12: in charge. In fact, he said I had to cool 224 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 12: an end to the press conference so he could go 225 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 12: off and, as he said, lead in this minute very 226 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 12: much about sending a message that he's nowhere near resigning. 227 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 12: In fact, he was asked in the press conference if 228 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 12: he would resign. The answer was a resounding no. He 229 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 12: was not going to resign. So it's about also his 230 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 12: own personal leadership, and this minute. 231 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 2: Is his popularity diminishing, however. 232 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 12: It is, and it seems to be there's sort of 233 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 12: popular opinion on that. You can certainly see the tide 234 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 12: on social media and some of the local media, also 235 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 12: the opposition, but also more importantly senior figures in his 236 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 12: so called unity government. Of course, he brought in other parties, 237 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 12: other political figures in that moment, including Benny Gantz. He's 238 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 12: been a key figure previously, and he's been quite critical 239 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 12: of Nahu publicly overall of this, So it's not just 240 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 12: sort of the public spirits. Also we're hearing senior figures 241 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 12: in the security establishment, in the military, and in BB's 242 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 12: own current Unity government, who are quite upset about some 243 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 12: of the comments that he's made. Whether that leads to 244 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 12: anything in the short term is unlikely. Right now, Israel 245 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 12: is more focused on the war in Gaza, the war 246 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 12: against Hamas, But in the longer term it is raising 247 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 12: those further questions about his longevity as political leader. 248 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: How much is this conflict spilling into other parts of 249 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 2: the Middle East. What are more signs that you're seeing. 250 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 12: Well, we're not saying that broad obviously, that the broad 251 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 12: worry is that it becomes a Middle East wide conflict, 252 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 12: but we are seeing seepitch in a way into other areas. 253 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 12: So we're seeing Israel heating targets in Lebanon and Syria overnight. 254 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 12: We're seeing Lebanon warning a short time ago that things 255 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 12: could be escalating. Of course, Lebanon itself doesn't have a 256 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 12: lot of control over Hesbella, that's the Iranian Bat militia 257 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 12: that's operating there. It doesn't really have the ability to 258 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 12: rain hesbelar In, but certainly Lebanon is worried about it 259 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 12: and the knock on effect on its own country and 260 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 12: the fact that things also seem to be spilling into Syria, 261 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 12: where you've got a lot of Arani back malicious operating 262 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 12: also does suggest that those concerns are real about the 263 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 12: conflict escalating. And we know they've being attacked to and 264 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 12: fro involving militia in Syria. They're also striking US soldiers 265 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 12: at bases in places like Syria and Iraq. So you're 266 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 12: seeing that escalation in activity involving Syria and Lebanon, at 267 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 12: least those groups that are operating there. Thankfully now for 268 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 12: now that you're still not seeing the sense that it's 269 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 12: turning into a full scale regional conflict. 270 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: Has there been more progress with increased humanitarian aid? 271 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 12: It's been very limited. Again, a lot of calls obviously 272 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 12: for aid to increase, many expressions of concern about the 273 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 12: situation there, but still the trucks are only trickling in 274 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 12: despite all those conversations and efforts that Israel's pledged to 275 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 12: try and increase the aid flow, but there's no tangibles 276 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 12: sign that that's really picking up. Meanwhile, the casualty rate 277 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 12: inside Gaza is rising. The Hamas led administration there is 278 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 12: now saying that eight three hundred people have been killed 279 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 12: in Gaza, many of them children, and things are in 280 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 12: a desperate state, including in the hospitals, So a lot 281 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 12: of conversations around, a lots of conversations around. Can there 282 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 12: be a pause in the fighting, But as of this morning, 283 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 12: the flow of humanitarian health into Gaza is still very small. 284 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: You're listening to Bloomberg Daybreak to day, your morning brief 285 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington 286 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: and beyond. 287 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 288 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 289 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: get your podcasts. 290 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 291 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 292 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 293 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: Bloomberg one sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine sixty 294 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,359 Speaker 2: in San Francisco. 295 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 296 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
