1 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Good morning. 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 2: stories we're following today. 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: First, the latest developments out of the Middle East. Israel 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: and Hamas are signaling that a temporary ceasefire could be 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: extended beyond today. Under the current agreement, Hamas is releasing 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: fifty hostages in exchange for one hundred and fifty Israeli 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: held prisoners. President Biden says he's aiming for this break 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: in fighting to continue. 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 3: Critically, nay, today is going in and hostages are coming out, 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 3: and there's still structured so that it can be extended 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 3: to keep building on these results. That's my goal, that's 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: our goal, to keep this pause going beyond tomorrow. 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: When President Biden spoke yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: who signaled an extension was possible. 16 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Israel is coming under increasing pressure to agree to 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: an extension of a four day pause in it's war 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: with Amas. We get more from Bloomberg's Simon Marx and 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: Tel Aviv. 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 4: Israel is under some pressure to continue to slow drip 21 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 4: releasing hostages. There is still a lot of public pressure 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 4: here to get many more released, and the families and 23 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 4: the victims of the hostage families are still very active. 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: Bloomberg. Simon mar says, so far Hamas has handed over 25 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: fifty eight hostages, including non Israelis. It is slated to 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: free another eleven Israelis today to fulfill the four day Agreement. 27 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: And in Washington, the issue of Israeli aid maybe getting 28 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: more complicated. Bloomberg zed Baxter has that story. 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 5: Senator Chris Murphy is saying lawmakers should consider conditioning future 30 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 5: aid to Israel based on compliance with international humanitarian law. 31 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 6: I think there's both a moral cost to this, many civilians, 32 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 6: innocent civilians, children often losing their life, but I think 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 6: there's a strategic cost. Ultimately, Hamas will get stronger, not weaker, 34 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 6: in the long run if all of this civilian death 35 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 6: allows them to recruit more effectively, enablely inside Gaza. 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 5: Murphy on CNN civilian death toll must stop, ed Baxter 37 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 5: Bloomberg Radio, Thanks D. 38 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: Another complicating factor in aid to Israel and Ukraine is 39 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: a dispute over security at the southern border. Republicans in 40 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: Congress want to tie foreign military assistance to tougher border policies. 41 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: On NBC's Meet the Press House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner 42 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: said it will be tough to pass the AID before 43 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: the end of this year. While the issue remains unresolved. 44 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: Man Amy events in the Middle East may be forcing 45 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: President Biden to skip an event he's attended the past 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: two years. According to The New York Times, a White 47 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: House official says the President will not be at the 48 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: COP twenty eighth Climate summit in Dubai. The official didn't 49 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: say why, but senior aids are suggesting the Israel Hamas 50 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: war has consumed the president in recent weeks. 51 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Elon Musk will today meet with the Israel with 52 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: Israel's Prime Minister and president, as well as representatives of 53 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: the families of hostages held in Gaza. The closed door 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 2: meeting appears to be an effort to diffuse a growing 55 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: backlash over the billionaire's endorsement of an anti Semitic tweet. 56 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: While Musk has drawn support from notable figures including hedge 57 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: fund manager Bill Ackman, others, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunek, 58 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: say that Tesla and SpaceX chief should not be given 59 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 2: a pass because of who he is. 60 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 7: I don't tend to get in the business of scrutinizing 61 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 7: what every single person says who I've interacted with. Of 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 7: course I bore anti Semitism. It doesn't matter whether you're 63 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 7: Elil Musk or you or someone on the street who's 64 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 7: shouting abuse that someone who happens to be walking past you. 65 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 7: That's wrong in all its forms. Antisemitism in all its 66 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 7: forms is completely and utterly wrong. 67 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: So next careful criticism comes just weeks after the British 68 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 2: Prime Minister had a fireside conversation with Musk at the 69 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: UKAI summit. 70 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: Turning to markets, amy stocks are going higher. That's the 71 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: call from Deutsche Bank. The firm's strategists, including Binkie Chata, 72 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: predict the S and P five hundred will rally to 73 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: a record fifty one hundred by the end of next year. 74 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: That's about twelve percent above current levels. Chata says stock 75 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: valuations are not high and earnings are growing solidly. 76 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Wall Street it returns to work with lots of 77 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: economic data and plenty of earnings reports. We get a 78 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: preview from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. 79 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 8: Tech earnings will be in focus this week, with z 80 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 8: Scaler and crowd Strike holdings underscoring how businesses are prioritizing 81 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 8: cybersecurity after recent high profile corporate hacks. Among the other 82 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 8: technology companies reporting this week Salesforce and Dell. In New 83 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 8: York Charlie Pellette Bloomberg Radio. 84 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: Okay, Charlie, thanks for also keeping an eye on retailers today. Well, 85 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: because it's cyber Monday. The huge online spending day comes 86 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: after shoppers spend a record online on Black Friday. More 87 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: on that from Bloomberg's Eddie vendor Wald. 88 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 9: What we're seeing is that US consumers spend a record 89 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 9: nine point one billion dollars online. That's according to Adobe Analytics. 90 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 9: It's a record so far. But we're seeing two interesting trends. 91 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 9: Number One, a lot of people are spending on buy now, 92 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 9: pay later, and we are seeing them buying less luxury 93 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 9: items with this spending. So it feels like the consumer 94 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 9: is starting to feel the pitch and rather than going 95 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 9: out spending big money is saying, look, this might be 96 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 9: a good opportunity to start cutting back out of spending. 97 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Eddie vander Walt says global Black Friday sales rose 98 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: twenty two percent, led by clothing, personal care, and jewelry. 99 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: The owner of TikTok is cutting jobs. Bye Dance plans 100 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: to eliminate hundreds of positions in gaming and wind down 101 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: at Showpee s brand Uverse. The closure marks by Dan's 102 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 2: biggest retreat from a once booming gaming industry dominated by 103 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: ten Cent and at smaller faux net Ease. Sources say 104 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: the Chinese company intends to announce the cuts later today. 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: Time now for a look at some of the other 106 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: stories making news around the world, and for that we're 107 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker. 108 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 10: Good morning Job, Hey, Good morning Amy. The US is 109 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 10: investigating whether Iran was behind an incident in which missiles 110 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 10: were fired near the Navy destroy USS Mason. The Mason 111 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 10: intervene to stop the hijacking of a commercial cargo ship 112 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 10: by pirates in the Gulf of Aidenere, Somalia on Sunday, 113 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 10: after which two ballistic missiles were fired from Yemen tour 114 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 10: the Navy destroyer. The ballistic missiles were fired from the 115 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 10: part of Yemen controlled by Iranian backed Hutu rebels. They 116 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 10: fell well short of the mark. We could be looking 117 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 10: at a shakeup in the battery industry that's critical for 118 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 10: the energy transition battery giants are starting to put their 119 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 10: money on a new sodium based technology. Let's get more 120 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 10: in this report from Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. 121 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 11: Sodium from rock salt and brines is cheaper and way 122 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 11: more abundant than the lithium widely used now in batteries. 123 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 11: But in the past week alone, Sweden's Northfold said it 124 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 11: made a breakthrough, and China's ev maker BYD signed a 125 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 11: deal to build a one point four billion dollar sodium 126 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 11: ion battery plant. Also, China's coatl said back in April 127 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 11: at sodium based batteries would be used in some vehicles 128 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 11: starting this year. This could all hit lithium demand Hardloomberg 129 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 11: GETTYF has said sodium could cut hundreds of thousands of 130 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 11: tons of lithium demand by twenty thirty five.

Bengals played without the 177 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 12: injured quarterback Joe Burrow.

Mississippi State's 184 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 12: new coaches Jeff Levy, he had been the offensive cornator 185 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 12: head Oklahoma. Another f one win for Max first staff 186 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 12: and that's nineteen out of twenty two races. That's the 187 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 12: most ever.

Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Today 194 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: is scheduled to be the final full day of a 195 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: four day truce between Israel and Hamas, but after the 196 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: release of dozens of hostages from Gaza, including a four 197 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: year old American Israeli girl. Both sides are now signaling 198 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: this pause could be extended. And for the latest, we're 199 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: joined from Tel Aviv by Bloomberg News reporter Simon Marx. Simon, 200 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: good morning. What is the likelihood that we could see 201 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: an extension given the number of hostages that have been 202 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: released so far? 203 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 4: Well, so far, the chances of this taking place seem 204 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 4: to be making some good progress. Hamas has released a 205 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 4: statement saying that in theory they would have greed to 206 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 4: an extension, and Israel, for the whole way along this 207 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 4: current truce, has said that it would be open to 208 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 4: further days, So we're talking about ten per day for 209 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 4: up to ten days. You know, diplomats in the city 210 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 4: do expect that we will see one or two more days. 211 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 4: It's a little unclear whether we're going to get to 212 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 4: the full ten. But there is obviously a lot of 213 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 4: pressure on the government of Benjamin Netta and Yahoo to 214 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 4: continue the release of the hostages, with the families still 215 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 4: campaigning and very vocal on this front. 216 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's happening on the outside. Talk a little bit 217 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: more about as well, the behind the scenes pressure that's 218 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: happening with Israel and Hamas to potentially secure a further ceasefire. 219 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 10: Yeah. 220 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 4: I think the main reason for this is that the 221 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: international community would like to see more aid get into Gaza. Obviously, 222 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 4: the strip has been pounded for weeks now, there's still 223 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 4: at least one hundred thousand people in the north with 224 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 4: very very limited access to any form of humanitarian care, 225 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 4: and then in the south you've got over a million 226 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 4: displaced people in you know, really devastating conditions. So there 227 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 4: were two hundred trucks that managed to get over the 228 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: border from Egypt on Sunday. There's been about two thousand 229 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 4: in total. But the hope is is that increases a 230 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 4: lot a lot more in the coming days. 231 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: What's the feeling about whether there is enough aid going 232 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: in right now and whether that aid could potentially be 233 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: used to support Hamas. There has to still be that 234 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: concern among the Israelis, right, Yeah. 235 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 4: Of course, And you know, this is part of the 236 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 4: reason why the bureaucracy around getting trucks in, the checks 237 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 4: and balances from the Israelis were so stern and and 238 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 4: it's also part of the reason why getting aid in 239 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 4: was actually difficult in the beginning. That it does seem 240 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 4: in recent days to have opened up. There is this 241 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 4: notion that, you know, if Israel is to continue its 242 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: ground offensive against Hamas, that in return, they cannot be 243 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 4: seen to be blocking eight you know, and flouting international 244 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 4: humanitarian law. But yes, I mean Hamas fighters are spread 245 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 4: throughout the Gaza Strip, and many people seem to think 246 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 4: that they have a presence in the south too, where 247 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 4: there are a lot of civilians. 248 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: And that factors into a lot of the commentary that 249 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: we're hearing from a particularly congressional Democrats in Washington, d C. 250 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: That future aid to Israel might need to be conditioned 251 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: on international humanitarian law being followed more stringently. How is 252 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: that potentially factoring in to Israel's decision making when it 253 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: comes to extending the pause in fighting or carrying on 254 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: this war even further once whenever the pause ends, it 255 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: does end. 256 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 4: Well very much. 257 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 13: So. 258 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 4: Israel are extremely dependent on diplomatic and material support from 259 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 4: the United States. Without that, I think, you know that 260 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: the pressure for them to stop this war is going 261 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 4: to mount. So far, we've seen a lot of pressure 262 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 4: from Biden's administration to make sure Israel do allowed aid in, 263 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 4: but there hasn't been you know, a stringent call for 264 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 4: any longer term ceasefire. So it does seem that this 265 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 4: green light essentially for Israel to go back in to 266 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 4: the Gaza Strip once this truce comes to an end, 267 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 4: is very much there, even though perhaps in some other 268 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 4: corners of the world, particularly the Gulf and parts of Europe, 269 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 4: obviously the pressure is mounting. But yeah, as we all know, 270 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 4: the main bidder here is the United States. 271 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: And as this pause continues, Simon, are there risks of 272 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: other fronts opening while the pause goes on. I mean 273 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: there's been sporadic fighting that we've been reporting on in 274 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: the West Bank, as well as the back and forth 275 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: over the Israeli Lebanon border. 276 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 4: Yes, definitely. As you mentioned the West Bank, I mean 277 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 4: just overnight there has been a report there were eight 278 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 4: Palestinians killed in the West Bank in an air strike. 279 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 4: The situation is very restive there that there is growing 280 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 4: settler violence. Since October seven, Jewish settlers in the area 281 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 4: have carried out way over two hundred attacks on Palestinian communities, 282 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: and the Israeli army have also come down pretty tough 283 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 4: on demonstrators and suspected sympathizers of Hamas. The population there 284 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 4: in general feels like it's being occupied and oppressed, and 285 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: that the Palestinian authority which runs the show there in 286 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 4: some areas, isn't really representative of them. Obviously, if things 287 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 4: continue in this direction, there's massive risks of it boiling over, 288 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 4: and then, you know, I think beyond that, beyond Israel's borders. 289 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 4: So far it has been more or less contained, but 290 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 4: it is very, very worrying. We saw Israel strike the 291 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 4: airport in Damascus not that long ago, targeting, yeah, targeting 292 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 4: Iranian targets there. So clearly it's a it's a huge risk. 293 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 294 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 295 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast be by six am 296 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 297 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 298 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 299 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time, on Bloomberg eleven Priezero in New York, 300 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one six 301 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: to one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine six in San Francisco. 302 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 303 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
