8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Before touching a US diplomacy, let me say that we

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: were very touched by the visit of the leader of

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: the U in Israel, President Fonderline, President Metsola. They come,

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: they were the first leader that come and visit the site,

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: and we were very touched by the strong support that

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: we see here from Bras Sales. As far the US,

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: the US is active, they try to first of all,

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: we get in a strong, strong support from the US

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: and it's very extremely important and it's important also that

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 2: the region, the leader of the region the arms will

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: understand exactly the implication of what's going on this war

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: that Israel that actually was initiated by Hamas. It's not

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: only the war that Israel. It's not only against the Hamas.

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: I think it's more than that, and we should get

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 2: the full supple.

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Ambassador. Yeah, we understand that that sectuary, say Lincoln wants

24
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: everything to de escalate. Do you think it will be

25
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: de escalated? Is it confirmed, for example, that the US

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: President will soon visit Israel following an invitation by the

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,399

00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: we are focusing on eliminating Hamas. Hamas conduct a crime that.

30
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: Right now, we are focusing on eliminating the ability and

31
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: how bascident on that.

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,200

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: President Biden was invited and why he's considering such a

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: trip amongst hostilities? Do you need the president to go

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: to Israel? And do you think this war will be

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: de escalated?

37
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: First of all, it's a show of support.

38
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: It's extremely important that we keep see this kind of support,

39
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: and we see and feel this support from the US,

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: and this is part of this visit show strong stands

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 2: together with the State of Israel as well the escalation.

42
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: Right now, we are focusing, as I mentioned several times,

43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: on eliminating Hamas and its capability.

44
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: Ambassador Secretary Blinken says, it's critically important how Israel goes

45
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: about pursuing Hamas. Do you think a ground invasion of

46
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: Gaza will provoke a second front of this war?

47
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: We hope not.

48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: We are ready to everything. Right now, we are focusing

49
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: on Hamas. This is the goal, this is the aim,

50
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: and we try to avoid other fronts and we hope

51
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: that it will not happen. But right now, as we speak,

52
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: the focus is on Hammas on Gaza, limiting is capability.

53
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: And fighting against them.

54
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, ambassador, have you officials been raising humanitarian and international

55
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: law questions to you when it comes to Israel's actions

56
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: in Gaza?

57
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: There always does some concern, but Israel keep saying that

58
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: we will act according to the international law. Our aim

59
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 2: is not to harm any innocence or uninvolved civilian or population.

60
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: We are targeting Hamas, it's activities, its facilities, its facilities.

61
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 3: And do not harm anyone who is not involved.

62
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: The problem right now is the hammas us using the

63
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: local population is the human shields against our to avoid

64
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: our activity, and this is right now that the biggest biomas.

65
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: Yes, please, how are you coordinating with Europe on humanitarian

66
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: aid in Gaza.

67
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 2: Right now, we are in touch and we got approached

68
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: by some eoficial on that and we are focusing right now,

69
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, on the military activity on Hamas, and

70
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: we are looking ahead and we will see whatever we

71
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: needed to be provided, we will.

72
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: Walk on it. But right now this is the focus.

73
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: There have been also tensions in a lot of European

74
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: countries with protests and solidarity with both Israel and Palestinians.

75
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: How closely are you watching this?

76
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: We are looking into of course, we are looking into those,

77
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: but for the.

78
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: Meantime we feel the strong support, the full understanding. But

79
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: happened there the atrocity that the Europe saw that we

80
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: face and Europe so I think that the implication of

81
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: that is strong support for the state of Israel.

82
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: There are some others that try to.

83
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 2: Counter this, but as for the meantime, we see mainly

84
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: a strong support from

85
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: Leadership and as well as from the street.
