Reporter’s book: hostages, peace hopes, and brutal reality of the Gaza war

The Middle East has been reported about 25 years ago. And that penetrated vulgarity is still working … “Whenever things change … the more they remain.”

This does not mean that the three weeks that we stayed here this time were boring. There were more climbing and falling from the rotating ship in the old Luna Park.

Our first shooting exchange was appropriate to visit the hostages and the families of the prisoners from agitation. Because, for the majority of Israelis, this is one of the most important topics. 48 people are being held by terrorists, still 20 years old. The time of prison, nearly two years of this Gaza war.

We met families on the day 700 of the families of the hostages. Lava-Mira begged her husband Omri to return home. Lerun Berman was sure that his twin brothers would make him (“They are Qadun”). Keith Siegel, the hostage, has seen himself nearly 500 days ago, expression and healthy, beyond the Israeli government for assistance. “I invite Trump to continue his efforts.”

Early our stay, there was hope for a new peace plan from we You may gain traction. All 48 hostages will be released in exchange for 3000 Palestinian prisoners, and a ceasefire will be released to evaluate the following steps.

This reasonable plan apparently took the left, right and center visits.

First, horror learned about it because we ended a quick breakfast in our hotel. Two gunmen shoot a bus bus and bus in Jerusalem, leaving six dead and many of the injured. The scenes were horrific and the actions of eliminating Terrorist brave.

Then the next morning, while I and Cameraman Ben were a routine tour of the hotel’s balcony that we call home, I noticed in the corner of my eyes a long time and a custom producer of Yael inside the studio room that jumps up and down.

Israel had done what could not be conceived, and targeting Hamas leadership in what should have been the neutral area of ​​Doha, Qatar. The gunmen claimed that they were discussing the peace plan at that time. The American proposal has become dead like any victims that the Israelis have been able to strike (the leadership does not seem to be).

Then the final “paid” was placed for peace conversations. The ground invasion of Gaza City was widely launched by Israel. To finish about 3000 Hamas fighters and their infrastructure. Netanyahu also said, “What begins in Gaza (the Hamas massacre and the hostage on October 7.) Ends in Gaza.”

This is the time when frustration begins for combat correspondents like me, the first -class war team of Ben cameras, the producer Yael, and Security Rob. As they have throughout the war, Israel is limiting Israel from reaching the work of Gaza.

So we rely on local journalists to show us terror. The devastating urban scene. And most importantly, the vast and ugly images of human suffering. Hundreds of thousands of civilians, and many supporters of Hamas, who must deal with the living hell imposed by terrorists and fighting.

Remember this line, “I do not wish this to the worst enemy of me”? Well, I may go with her with regard to enthusiasm, but not these poor Palestinian children who know nothing about the political geography of the situation.

Thanks to this, IDF officials tell us that they are slowly moving through the lunar scene that is now Gaza. Make sure not to endanger civilians and /or hostages. In some way, with the killing of local -backed local health officials who indicated that 65,000 had already been killed after two years of war, it appears to some extent after the truth.

But this means, again, according to the officials we spoke to, the entire Gaza City Operation may take up to four months to complete it. A very long time for their morale reserves are fighting war. A very long time for the population holds everything. Very long for desperate hostages.

Unless there is a penetration.

No wonder that the local population here is looking for President Donald Trump And/or a group of countries, bodies, and numbers (yes, Pope Liu) to try to mediate outside local leaders, the previous Israeli matches with enemies such as Hezbollah and Iran, such as making war in the twenty -first century. The fighting in Gaza is somewhat similar to the early twentieth century World War I War of Trench.

Between our live snapshots and reports in Tel Aviv, we sometimes go into a few bars and restaurants that spread in this coastal capital – despite everything, working on full tilt. He wondered how this country would, of course, would be a wonderfully diverse Palestinian population without the yoke of the war around their shoulders.

He does not answer this trip.
