00:00And Shane, we heard there as well, the phrase that was uttered, most, most Israelis want to see a ceasefire here.

00:06Not all Israelis is what was referenced.

00:09Shane, the blame game between Israel and the UN over the aid getting through to Gaza,

00:14it's got wildly different figures. We've been getting them from both sides.

00:17600 trucks a day, that's what the UN said they need. 60 trucks a day is what's getting through, if even that.

00:23So who is actually to blame here for the lack of aid?

00:25Well, luckily, I always try and stay on the fence with this sort of story,

00:29but I think in this one, you can't really be on the fence with it.

00:32It's clearly the blame has to lie with Israel.

00:34They're like the sovereign country in the region.

00:36They've got the backing of the US. They've got a massive superpower.

00:40If they wanted to get that aid in, it could definitely be done.

00:43So I'm sorry, I have to sort of put the blame with them.

00:46And, you know, what she was saying that, you know, it may be Hamas, the soldiers that are taking some of the aid.

00:52In my personal opinion, I would think if you send the aid in,

00:55and even if half of it is taken, half of it then goes to, you know, the population of Gaza who are starving.

01:01And before I came out, I was looking at the pictures that was on the front of all the British newspapers of the, you know,

01:05the just disgraceful pictures.

01:07Yeah.

01:08So I think even if only half the food gets through to them, it's better than zero.

01:11So I think, unfortunately, Israel needs to take the blame on this one 100%.
