They won twenty nine to 188 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,599 Speaker 13: twenty and looked like Seattle was going to kick a 189 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 13: game time field goal the minute left.

Good morning, I'm 208 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 5: Nathan Hager. On this October seventh, one year after the 209 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 5: deadly Hummas attack on southern Israel that's set off massive 210 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 5: war in Gaza. Now one year later, Israel is fighting 211 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 5: on multiple fronts and considering its response to Iran as 212 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 5: it faces even more attacks. 213 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 11: Today. 214 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: Joining us this morning from Tel Aviv is Ethan Bronner, 215 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: Israel bureau chief for Bloomberg News. Ethan, good morning, I 216 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: understand it already has been a tense morning. Where you sit, 217 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: can you get us caught up on what's been unfolding 218 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: over the last several hours. 219 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: Sure thing, Nathan. So this day has been set aside 220 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: as you can imagine, by Israeli officials and the families 221 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 3: of hostages and all sorts of organizations as a day 222 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 3: of morning and commemoration, and an hour or two ago, 223 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 3: Hamas and Hanunis and the southern central part of Gaza 224 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 3: Strip we're able to, despite a year of war against them, 225 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 3: send off a bunch of long range missiles to hit 226 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 3: Tel Aviv. I mean, they were of course stopped by 227 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 3: the iron dome system, but we were all rushed into 228 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 3: a bomb shelter, something that hasn't happened in months. So 229 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 3: it's certainly an indication that despite the endless war against them, 230 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: they have been able to at least reconstitute themselves in 231 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: enough ways that they could symbolically stick it in the 232 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: eye of Israel today. 233 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: Well, what does this tell us, Ethan about Hamas's ability 234 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: to reconstitute itself potentially despite as you say, this relentless 235 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 2: assault that we've seen along the up and down the 236 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: Gaza Strip over the last twelve months. 237 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: Yes, look, it's a very difficult question. I mean it's 238 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 3: the right question, and it's very hard to know the answer. 239 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 3: I will say that it has been many months since 240 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 3: Hamas has been able to fire that kind of missile here, 241 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 3: and until a year ago they could have done it 242 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 3: at will. So and from what we can tell, there 243 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 3: are fifteen to eighteen thousand dead Ramas fighters out of 244 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 3: about thirty five thousand who signed up at first. Obviously 245 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 3: they can pick up younger people and keep going. You know, 246 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 3: it's a very difficult question. What has happened in the 247 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 3: last couple of days. Is Israel said that in the 248 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: Jabali refugee camp area just around the Gaza City, just 249 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 3: north of Gaza City, there had been a reconstitution of 250 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 3: various Ramas fighters and therefore they were going into that 251 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 3: area intensively and telling people to move south to an 252 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: expanded humanitarian area. It's just really hard to tell, but 253 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: there's no question that they've built themselves a very very 254 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: comprehensive military infrastructure that Israel has not easily torn apart yet. 255 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: Now I have to thank Ethan that this puts even 256 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: more of a focus on how Israel could respond to 257 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: not just Hamases but hes Bolla's main sponsor in the 258 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: region Iran after that ballistic missile barrage last week. 259 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 3: Yes, of course that's the big issue here, which is 260 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: that there were these two hundred missiles that hit Israel 261 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: last Tuesday, I think it was, and Israel has vowed 262 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 3: it's going to hit back, and it will, but it's 263 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 3: been a negotiation with the US about it, and I 264 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: think that they've had a little trouble deciding what exactly 265 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: they're going to do. They wanted, apparently to go after 266 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 3: oil sites, and the Americans persuaded them not to. I 267 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 3: think that the Defense Minister Jov Gallant is headed to 268 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: America and the next day or so for consultations. So yes, 269 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: I mean there's an enormous amount of attention on it. 270 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 3: A lot of people assume that what they'll do is 271 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: go after revolutionary Guard sites in Iran, and I'm not 272 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: sure why they haven't just settled on that, but they 273 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: do want to make some kind of a dramat and 274 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 3: of course a lot of drama can lead to another 275 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: retaliation and the eternal fear, which is an actual regional war. 276 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: And it raises the question that I would imagine is 277 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: as difficult as it's ever been to answer. Ethan, which 278 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: is in our last thirty seconds. Unfortunately, where do you 279 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: see this ending? 280 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 3: I don't see. Look, maybe it's just wishful thinking on 281 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: my part because I live here right now, but I 282 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: don't think we're going to have an explosion of war 283 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 3: right now. I think we're going to stay in this 284 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 3: gray area of back and forth of Israeli soldiers going 285 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: into Lebanon, Israeli air force taking off further UTIs in 286 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: Yemen and in Iraq and against Iran, and no clear 287 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: resolution for the next year or two. That's my instinct, 288 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 3: but we have plenty of times to talk about it 289 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 3: as we go forward. 290 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: This is Bloombery Daybreak, your morning podcast and the stories 291 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 292 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six Eastern 293 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 294 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 295 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 296 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloombergen ninety nine to one in Washington, 297 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 298 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: XM Channel one twenty one. 299 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business App 300 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 301 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
