We get the latest with Bloomberg's Rosalind of Athisen. 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 3: That is the conduit between Egypt and Gaza and has 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 3: been a major port of operation for aid to go 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 3: into Gaza in recent months. It's not the only crossing 12 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 3: into Gaza, but there's only a few, and they've been 13 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: pretty troubled throughout, and so it's really going to raise 14 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 3: questions about the flow of aid into Gaza. It also 15 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: points to the fact that Israel is very determined to 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 3: push ahead with some sort of offensive in Rafa, whether 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: that's within weeks or days or whatever. They're making preparations 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: for it. 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: And that's Bloomberg's Roslyn Matheson reporting. 20 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: Well dungons build in Gaza.

Joining us from Tel Aviv. Now is 237 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: Bloomberg Israel Economy and Government reporter Galite Alstein Ghalite, Good morning. 238 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 2: Thank you for being with us. Can you tell us 239 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: the situation in Rafa now as far as we understand it, Yes, I. 240 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 14: Am, good morning, Nathan. So, as you mentioned, the Israeli 241 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 14: army has taken control of the Rafa border crossing. This 242 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 14: is the Goden side of the crossing. It also has 243 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 14: an Egyptian side, but obviously Israel is now centered on 244 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 14: the Garden side of this crossing. We know that the 245 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 14: Idea tells us this morning that this operation stemmed from 246 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 14: intelligence and that this is a highly targeted, specific operation 247 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 14: that is meant, as the Idea of says to the 248 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 14: involves counter terrorism there, so that's what we're seeing on 249 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 14: the ground now. The Israeli Army also says that the 250 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 14: best majority of the people who are in the eastern 251 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 14: parts of Rapha and we're asked to evacuate yesterday have 252 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 14: in fact evacuated, and that is also what made this 253 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 14: operation possible. 254 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: So it sounds at this point as though it's falling 255 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: short of the major operation that the US and many 256 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: of Israel's allies have warned against. 257 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 14: Yes, that is true. The songs that we're getting is 258 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 14: that this is a very targeted operation. What happened several 259 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 14: days ago is that Hamas militants fired bombarded Israeli forces 260 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 14: from the area of the Rafa crossing. They were shooting 261 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 14: toward the Klam Shalom crossing, which is on the border 262 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 14: between Israel and Gaza, and after this incident, Israel said 263 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 14: that it wants to retaliate, and based on the location 264 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 14: from where the Hamasa tech attack took place, from near 265 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 14: the Rafa crossing, and other intelligence that the IDEA gathered, 266 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 14: they decided to move forward with this operation. As I mentioned, 267 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 14: and as you mentioned, they say that this is a 268 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 14: very specific targeted operation that is taking place there now, 269 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 14: and we're not sure that this is part you know, 270 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 14: it's hard to separate and distinguish the two, but this 271 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 14: is not necessarily part of the all out Rafa operation 272 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 14: Israel and the US and many others have been talking 273 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 14: about and anticipating over the past several weeks. 274 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: And of course this comes hours after Hamas said it 275 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: had gotten behind the latest seasfire proposal, but Israel's war 276 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: cabinet had rejected that latest proposal. What happened with the 277 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: ceasefire negotiations? What was it that the Israeli war cabinet 278 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: came out against? 279 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 14: Right, So I have to say that the information on 280 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 14: this is still, you know, flowing it as we speak, 281 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 14: but as far as we can tell, there are two 282 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 14: issues that I would say are sticking points in the 283 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 14: proposal that Hamas said yes to and that Israel has 284 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 14: rejected last night. The first is the number of hostages 285 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 14: that will be released in the first stage of such 286 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 14: a deal. Israel and the other mediators have been talking 287 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 14: about thirty three Israeli hostages, live hostages that will be 288 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 14: released at the first part of this deal, and as 289 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 14: far as we can tell, what Hamas has said yes 290 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 14: to is the release of thirty three thirty three hostages 291 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 14: that we will be dead or live, and Israel does 292 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 14: not want to accept that. And the second thing, which 293 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 14: is maybe more of a principal issue, is the fact 294 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 14: that after the first stage of the deal is finished 295 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 14: and the deal moves on to its second stage that 296 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 14: involves the release of Israeli soldiers were being held mosted 297 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 14: by Hamas, that would involve something that is being referred 298 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 14: to as a sustainable ceasefire. In other words, it's a 299 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 14: permanent cease fire that is meant at least as far 300 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 14: as Hamas is concerned, to stop Israel from going back 301 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 14: to fighting after the deal the ceasefire deal is over, 302 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 14: and that is something that Israel has been rejecting and 303 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 14: that Hamas wants very much and that is a very 304 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 14: major sticking point for the size now and from what 305 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 14: we understand, maybe the biggest form of this PIM. 306 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 307 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: the story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 308 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 309 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 310 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: get your podcasts. 311 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 312 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time, on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 313 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 314 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: Bloomberg one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety 315 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: sixty in San Francisco. 316 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 317 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
