Speaker 1: Why On Sky News This is Sharry.
0:06
Speaker 2: Good Evening. Tonight we'll expose Australians attending the Lebanese funeral
0:11
Speaker 2: of hesbl Alida Hassan Nasralla, our explosive report. In a moment,
0:18
Speaker 2: Plas Albanizi defends China's aggressive actions in the Tasman Sea.
0:22
Speaker 2: This is their safety. Authorities reveal they only learned about
0:25
Speaker 2: the live fire exercises thirty minutes after they started. Rodin
0:30
Speaker 2: Bishop and Holly Hughes would join me to discuss and
0:34
Speaker 2: Ariel Bibbis's five year old best friend tells his mum
0:38
Speaker 2: that he's not dead and he's just in his room.
0:41
Speaker 2: Elon Levy would join me from Israel to talk about
0:44
Speaker 2: this heartbreak ahead of tomorrow's funeral. Refers tonight to our
0:49
Speaker 2: exclusive story. We can expose Australians who've flown to Lebanon,
0:54
Speaker 2: where they've attended terror leader Hassan Nasralla's funeral. Nasralla was
0:59
Speaker 2: responsible for the murder of thousands during his three decade
1:02
Speaker 2: reign of Hesbelah. He was finally killed in his bunker
1:07
Speaker 2: by Israel in September last year, and this came after
1:10
Speaker 2: Hesbelah began prolific attacks against Israel on October the eighth,
1:16
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Now, all political leaders, from the Prime
1:20
Speaker 2: Minister to the Opposition leader have been pretty clear that
1:24
Speaker 2: Hesbela is a terror organization and its leader is not
1:29
Speaker 2: someone any Australian should mourn.
1:33
Speaker 3: Well, there's no place for morning a terrorist leader, and
1:39
Speaker 3: we're very concerned about.
1:40
Speaker 1: Some of the terrorist symbols.
1:43
Speaker 3: It's completely unacceptable.
1:45
Speaker 1: They're a terrorist organization that they organized terrorist attacks.
1:49
Speaker 2: Yet Tony Burke's Home Affairs Department didn't stop Australians from
1:54
Speaker 2: traveling to Lebanon to attend his funeral, despite the fact
1:58
Speaker 2: that Azio confirmed to they do have the power to
2:02
Speaker 2: do this. Sydney based religious leader Ahbed Almajed Murtada is
2:08
Speaker 2: pictured at Nasula's funeral. He's on the left in a
2:12
Speaker 2: photograph he posted to his own social media account just
2:16
Speaker 2: a day ago. As you can see in his social
2:19
Speaker 2: media posts that I'm about to show you, he had
2:22
Speaker 2: prime seating at the funeral. He was right in front
2:26
Speaker 2: of the stage at the center of the stadium. Now,
2:30
Speaker 2: we put questions to Ahbed and he told us, yes,
2:34
Speaker 2: I'm a proud Australian citizen. I flew to Lebanon to
2:38
Speaker 2: pay my respects to our beloved and esteemed clergy. So
2:43
Speaker 2: he's proudly admitting that he flew to Lebanon to attend
2:46
Speaker 2: the funeral of a terrorist leader. Now Ahbed is a
2:51
Speaker 2: Scout leader. He teaches Australian youth, including children in Sydney.
2:58
Speaker 2: Now here's another Australian mirror who's posted videos where she
3:02
Speaker 2: smiles before panning her camera round to show that she's
3:06
Speaker 2: also at Nasrulla's funeral. Miriam also posted this video with
3:29
Speaker 2: the caption for Israeli jets flew above us twice and
3:44
Speaker 2: in another post she wrote Sayid Hassan Nasrallah on a
3:48
Speaker 2: video as you can see of Mourna's touching the coffin.
3:54
Speaker 2: She also posed for photographs in front of many tributes
3:58
Speaker 2: to Nasrallah. You can see that on your screen now.
4:03
Speaker 2: Miriam posted many videos of her trip. She posted videos
4:07
Speaker 2: as well of her trip from Australia to Lebanon. She
4:11
Speaker 2: captured herself flying to Beirute via Abu Dhabi, going to
4:15
Speaker 2: the hairdresser, going out for meals, and also at an
4:19
Speaker 2: at Nasraela's funeral in Sydney. She has a children's hair
4:23
Speaker 2: braiding business, where she claims on the Instagram page that
4:27
Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the profits go to Palestine and Lebanon.
4:34
Speaker 2: Then there's ishak Zaan, who's been posting prolifically on social
4:38
Speaker 2: media from the funeral ceremonies. He also posted a picture
5:00
Speaker 2: with a group of men that he says are the
5:02
Speaker 2: AUSSI contingent. You can see that there, he says, AUSSI crew.
5:07
Speaker 2: In another post, he said he arrived at the funeral
5:10
Speaker 2: at five am. He said the stadium filled up until
5:14
Speaker 2: there were one point four million people there. That's his claim.
5:19
Speaker 2: In another post, he wrote, I'm just trying to process
5:22
Speaker 2: the most emotional day of my life. I can't even
5:26
Speaker 2: put into words what I experienced today. Crying in the
5:30
Speaker 2: arms of brothers before even knowing their names, he said,
5:34
Speaker 2: I'm glad I was granted the opportunity to be in
5:37
Speaker 2: the presence of history and take it all in. He
5:41
Speaker 2: also showed himself at the funeral along with the tens
5:47
Speaker 2: of thousands of other people there. You can see him
5:49
Speaker 2: in the right hand corner of your screen. And then
5:53
Speaker 2: of Nasralla, the terror leader, he said, a giant of
5:57
Speaker 2: a man in a Coffin didn't think I'd see the day,
6:02
Speaker 2: nor did it feel real. In another post, he filmed
6:05
Speaker 2: the destruction from the war and said their day will come,
6:11
Speaker 2: God willing. Their day will come, God willing. Now one
6:18
Speaker 2: of the other Australians with him has also posted a
6:21
Speaker 2: lot of content, a lot of videos from Hassan Nasralla's
6:25
Speaker 2: funeral and many from Lebanon over the past couple of years.
6:29
Speaker 2: But then I had a look at his social media
6:32
Speaker 2: archives and I saw that there were videos taken from
6:36
Speaker 2: Dover Heights Park in Sydney, and Dover Heights is a
6:41
Speaker 2: predominantly Jewish area. You can see those videos on your screen.
6:47
Speaker 2: It was quite chilling to see that. And those videos
6:50
Speaker 2: were taken in May twenty twenty four, and you just
6:54
Speaker 2: wonder what someone who supports a terrorist organization like this
6:59
Speaker 2: person does was doing in Dover Heights Park. Then here's
7:04
Speaker 2: another Australian, Hassan Jeba. He says on his social media
7:09
Speaker 2: that he lives in Sydney, Australia, and he's posted footage
7:13
Speaker 2: from the Palestinian protests at Hyde Park. That photograph you're
7:18
Speaker 2: looking at was on October the twenty ninth, twenty twenty three.
7:23
Speaker 2: By the way, just a couple of weeks after October
7:26
Speaker 2: the seventh. Here here is at another pro Palestinian protest.
7:31
Speaker 2: He's holding a toddler in his arms. Then he shared
7:36
Speaker 2: this photograph of himself at Nosula's funeral wearing a scarf
7:40
Speaker 2: with the terror leader's face on it. He also posted
7:45
Speaker 2: countless videos. Now we do have documented evidence for several
8:16
Speaker 2: more individuals as well, but I'd be here all night. Now,
8:21
Speaker 2: let's go through this very carefully. Hesbela is a prescribed
8:25
Speaker 2: terror organization and support for a terrorist organization is banned
8:30
Speaker 2: in Australia. It's a criminal offense to openly support terrorism.
8:36
Speaker 2: There are also new hate speech laws which prohibit the
8:38
Speaker 2: waving of prescribed symbols such as the Hesbela flag. Now
8:43
Speaker 2: we ask the Home Affairs Department whether this travel that
8:47
Speaker 2: I've shown tonight breaches the laws that prohibit support for
8:52
Speaker 2: a terrorist organization in our country. We also are asked
8:55
Speaker 2: Home Affairs whether they knew that these individuals were flying
8:59
Speaker 2: to Lebanon seemingly with the explicit purpose of attending the funeral,
9:04
Speaker 2: and if so, why were they allowed to leave the country.
9:08
Speaker 2: We provided Home Affairs with the details of the social
9:11
Speaker 2: media accounts. We did this yesterday to give them time
9:15
Speaker 2: to see for themselves. As usual, we received a weak
9:20
Speaker 2: and pathetic response here it is. Home Affairs said the
9:25
Speaker 2: department does not comment on individuals, including travel movements or
9:29
Speaker 2: citizenship status. Anyone suspecting criminal activity is urged to contact
9:34
Speaker 2: law enforcement agencies. Now, Home Affairs and Bordiforce both have
9:40
Speaker 2: the power to stop people leaving the country if they
9:43
Speaker 2: suspect their involvement in terror. It's a point ASIO Director
9:48
Speaker 2: General Mike Burgess made tonight under questioning from Shadow Home
9:52
Speaker 2: Affairs Minister James Patterson.
9:55
Speaker 4: We do have the ability to do security assessments which
9:57
Speaker 4: would result in king the request for an individual's passport
10:02
Speaker 4: to be temporarily canceled so they could not travel. The
10:05
Speaker 4: fact that an organization is listed is sending a message
10:08
Speaker 4: to society that's a listed terrorist organization and actually there
10:10
Speaker 4: are criminal penalties for engaging with or being a member
10:14
Speaker 4: of such group.
10:16
Speaker 2: Secondly, Mike Burgess said that Australia also has the power
10:21
Speaker 2: to temporarily prevent someone from returning to our country if
10:26
Speaker 2: the authorities believe they pose a threat.
10:30
Speaker 4: There are Australians will have a right to return, but
10:33
Speaker 4: there is temporary exclusion orders that can be applied in
10:36
Speaker 4: some circumstances that would control that return in a manner
10:39
Speaker 4: which was enabled the issue to be managed effectively by authorities,
10:43
Speaker 4: including ASIO.
10:45
Speaker 2: Again, that was thanks to the excellent questioning of James Patterson.
10:49
Speaker 2: The AZO boss then said he would be concerned if
10:53
Speaker 2: he learned that Australians were traveling overseas to participate in
10:57
Speaker 2: an event organized by a listed to organization, and in fact,
11:02
Speaker 2: he said it's unlawful to engage with such groups.
11:07
Speaker 4: As a security service, I'd be regardless of whether it's
11:11
Speaker 4: listed or not, if they were going to an event,
11:13
Speaker 4: whether of i'm extremists or known terrorists, we would be
11:16
Speaker 4: interested as Australia's security service.
11:19
Speaker 2: President of the Australian Jewish Association David Adler said it
11:23
Speaker 2: was alarming that their support for HESBELA in Australia. He
11:27
Speaker 2: said it represented a threat to security and social cohesion.
11:33
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to understand that HESBELA is one of the
11:37
Speaker 1: largest and most deadly terrorist organizations the world has seen,
11:41
Speaker 1: responsible for killing people in Europe, in Thailand, in South
11:46
Speaker 1: America and many many people in the Middle East. This
11:51
Speaker 1: man Noustralia has the blood of thousands on his heads.
11:57
Speaker 2: Now. I spoke to James Patterson about this is you
12:00
Speaker 2: and he said that no Australian citizen or visa holder
12:04
Speaker 2: should mourn the death of a terrorist like Hassan Nasralla,
12:08
Speaker 2: let alone attend his funeral. Here's what James Patterson told
12:12
Speaker 2: me today. He said Tony Burke should explain why these
12:15
Speaker 2: people were allowed to travel to an event organized by
12:19
Speaker 2: a listed terroist organization and whether he'll use the powers
12:22
Speaker 2: available to him to block their return to Australia. This
12:26
Speaker 2: is James Patterson. He said, if they are non citizens,
12:29
Speaker 2: their visas should be counseled without hesitation. If they are citizens,
12:34
Speaker 2: they should be immediately investigated for associating with Hesbelah, which
12:38
Speaker 2: is a serious terrorism offense under the Commonwealth Criminal quote.
12:43
Speaker 2: He said, we must send a strong message that there's
12:45
Speaker 2: no place for terrort sympathizers in Australia. Now, this is
12:50
Speaker 2: all deeply worrying. These are people who've been living in
12:54
Speaker 2: Australia who clearly have a strong level of emotional support
12:58
Speaker 2: for terrorist organization. Some of them, even the men spoke
13:02
Speaker 2: about crying at that funeral. Now this is all part
13:07
Speaker 2: of the reason why social cohesion in our country is
13:11
Speaker 2: now crumbling. Let's bring in now former Speaker of the
13:17
Speaker 2: House Bronwin Bishop and Liberal Senator Holly Hughes, and I
13:20
Speaker 2: might just get both of your reaction to that story
13:23
Speaker 2: before we get to the other topics. Broumwin, what do
13:26
Speaker 2: you think about this?
13:27
Speaker 5: I'm just appalled, I'm seriously appalled. I have to ask
13:32
Speaker 5: the question, does this mean that there is a husband
13:35
Speaker 5: ast cell here in Australia? Is that cell active in
13:39
Speaker 5: promoting anti Semitism? Is there criminality going on by these
13:43
Speaker 5: people in our country? Those things have to be investigated
13:48
Speaker 5: and have to be answered to see the the hate
13:55
Speaker 5: for our country and what they're doing means, are they
13:59
Speaker 5: duals citizens? Are they entitled to remain Australian citizens? There
14:03
Speaker 5: are so many questions, so that story answers and we
14:06
Speaker 5: need answers to them.
14:08
Speaker 2: Indeed, and Holly, the more I was looking into this today,
14:12
Speaker 2: you know I showed you that post where it said
14:14
Speaker 2: Ossie Crewe and that I was able to click on
14:16
Speaker 2: each of those people that was, you know, each of
14:19
Speaker 2: them again. Another Australian who was attending the funeral. It
14:25
Speaker 2: seems like this is just being No one's got control here.
14:28
Speaker 2: This has just been allowed to happen.
14:32
Speaker 6: It's just another example of how weak this government is
14:35
Speaker 6: and how they are so determined to walk both sides
14:39
Speaker 6: of the street and speak out of both sides of
14:42
Speaker 6: their mouth. They are absolutely letting the national security of
14:46
Speaker 6: this country down. Bromwin is right, we don't know if
14:49
Speaker 6: there's some sort of Hezbalas cell operating in Australia, and
14:53
Speaker 6: James Patterson is one hundred percent right when he says
14:56
Speaker 6: if they are non citizens, their visas should be immediately canceled.
15:00
Speaker 6: If they're dual citizens, we should look at the same
15:04
Speaker 6: and if they're Australian citizens, well they need to be
15:06
Speaker 6: spoken to when they get back to the country. It
15:08
Speaker 6: is absolutely abhorrent. It's extraordinary that they think putting it
15:13
Speaker 6: on social media and celebrating attending the funeral of a
15:17
Speaker 6: known terrorist is in.
15:19
Speaker 7: Any way acceptable.
15:22
Speaker 6: It's beyond comprehension what these people think they're capable of doing.
15:27
Speaker 2: I just worry that there's no appetite, or not much
15:31
Speaker 2: appetite in the Albanese government to actually crack down on terrorism.
15:35
Speaker 2: And we heard the Prime Minister and Q and A
15:37
Speaker 2: last night, and he mentioned neo Nazis, he mentioned fascists,
15:42
Speaker 2: but he can't actually mention radical Islam. He can't mention
15:46
Speaker 2: the HEZBLA. And I don't know why it's so difficult.
15:49
Speaker 7: Why are we rats? Why are we not?
15:52
Speaker 5: Why are we surprised? I mean the man since he
15:54
Speaker 5: was at university has been espousing pro Palestinian courses, knowing
15:59
Speaker 5: what what is entailed in those ideas even then, so
16:06
Speaker 5: there was just no fiber in his body that cares
16:10
Speaker 5: about the anti Semitic attitudes that are going on in
16:12
Speaker 5: this country. And the merely male utterances on Q and
16:17
Speaker 5: A yesterday were truly pic and good on to that mother,
16:21
Speaker 5: mother of your wars.
16:23
Speaker 2: Isn't she amazing that he's watching now? But if you are,
16:27
Speaker 2: we applaud you very strong. Against the Prime Minister and BO.
16:31
Speaker 2: Speaking of Q and A last night, Albanez he basically
16:34
Speaker 2: defended China's actions in the Tasmancy. He implied that all
16:39
Speaker 2: they'd done wrong was not giving Australia enough notice. This
16:43
Speaker 2: was extraordinary. Have a look.
16:46
Speaker 3: Australia conducts exercises in the South China Sea and in
16:51
Speaker 3: the region in international waters and international airspace and it
16:55
Speaker 3: would be better had China. So we're put in an
17:01
Speaker 3: official protest if you like that. More notice should have
17:06
Speaker 3: been given.
17:08
Speaker 2: So he was comparing it to the freedom of navigation
17:11
Speaker 2: exercises that Australia undertakes in the South China See. But Holly,
17:15
Speaker 2: you can't compare them. I mean, the South China See
17:18
Speaker 2: is a major international shipping route that needs to have
17:24
Speaker 2: you know, Australia, the US and others able to pass through.
17:29
Speaker 2: And you know this. It was just saying ships were
17:33
Speaker 2: just off Hobart, Yes, exactly, go on, holy.
17:37
Speaker 7: Yep, Yeah, they were just off Hobart.
17:39
Speaker 6: And the fact that we were alerted to them via
17:42
Speaker 6: a Virgin Airline pilot is extraordinary. The fact that we're
17:46
Speaker 6: relying on commercial airline pilots to let us know what's
17:49
Speaker 6: going on in our waters or just outside of our waters.
17:54
Speaker 6: I mean, these guys, whether it's the Australians or people
17:59
Speaker 6: that reside in Australia at at the hesbela funeral, whether
18:03
Speaker 6: it's you know, China's handsome boy merely mouthed response to
18:08
Speaker 6: China clearly flexing its muscle. National security under this government
18:14
Speaker 6: is coming a very very distant priority down the list
18:20
Speaker 6: of priorities. I don't know what their priorities are because
18:22
Speaker 6: they're not doing anything well, but certainly national security and
18:26
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, that is the fundamental
18:28
Speaker 6: role of the federal government is to keep its citizens safe.
18:32
Speaker 6: Yet this government seems incapable of standing up for Australians.
18:36
Speaker 7: I mean, you think what would have happened.
18:38
Speaker 6: There were forty nine flights forced to divert because of
18:41
Speaker 6: the live fire coming from those Chinese ships. You imagine
18:45
Speaker 6: if one of those flights had been shot down with
18:47
Speaker 6: Australian citizens.
18:49
Speaker 7: On board, Like I mean, it's terrifying. Thoughts, you don't
18:52
Speaker 7: want to think about it. It is terrifying. And our
18:54
Speaker 7: government's sitting on its hands.
18:56
Speaker 5: Well, of course they're sitting on its hands only because
19:00
Speaker 5: the handsome boy sees cow tows to the Communist Party
19:05
Speaker 5: of China. Then maybe the Communist Party of China will
19:09
Speaker 5: send messages to the diaspo here for the next election
19:13
Speaker 5: devote labor.
19:16
Speaker 2: So it's all about politic Yeah, I just want to
19:19
Speaker 2: show I get to this before we go, because I
19:21
Speaker 2: noticed both of you are in Orange tonight and Holly,
19:25
Speaker 2: you were watching the program last night when I spoke
19:28
Speaker 2: about how Australia was one of the only countries in
19:31
Speaker 2: the world that hadn't illuminated any buildings in Orange in
19:35
Speaker 2: honor of the Bibas Boys, and you took up that
19:38
Speaker 2: clause in a big way. In fact, you texted new
19:40
Speaker 2: southe was Premier Chris Mints.
19:43
Speaker 6: I did, and I haven't had a response from anyone
19:46
Speaker 6: in the New South Wales government. I spoke to Sydney
19:49
Speaker 6: Radio a couple of times today actually both their their
19:53
Speaker 6: morning show and also in Drive the soufternoon, and I
19:57
Speaker 6: understand that the radio station has been informed that they
20:00
Speaker 6: have no intention of lighting up the Opera House, which
20:04
Speaker 6: I think, I mean.
20:05
Speaker 7: To me, this just seems like the most obvious thing
20:07
Speaker 7: to do.
20:08
Speaker 6: Reclaim the Opera House, reclaim the steps, light it up Orange,
20:13
Speaker 6: show our solidarity with the rest of the world. From
20:15
Speaker 6: China to Miamma, to Brazil to New York, everywhere these buildings.
20:20
Speaker 7: Are bang lit up. But nowhere in Australia.
20:23
Speaker 6: Parliament House is lit up tonight and I couldn't even
20:26
Speaker 6: work out what it was.
20:27
Speaker 7: It was all these weird colored dots all over the.
20:29
Speaker 6: Front of Parliament House, I mean, the least they could
20:31
Speaker 6: do is light up Parliament House. But I did an
20:33
Speaker 6: need to a bit of Labor and honestly her response
20:37
Speaker 6: was appalling.
20:38
Speaker 5: The point is that I was making before is that
20:42
Speaker 5: this is entirely political. This is entirely about this election
20:47
Speaker 5: and all the attitudes of Burke and the Prime Minister.
20:52
Speaker 5: Everything we've talked about tonight are all geared at harnessing
20:56
Speaker 5: votes for the Labor Party.
20:58
Speaker 7: They're on the ropes, know it.
21:01
Speaker 5: And the cynicism and the lack of concern the integrity
21:04
Speaker 5: of our own nation to self serve is just disgusting.
21:09
Speaker 5: And if you go back and look at the character
21:12
Speaker 5: with those two people, you find why are we surprised?
21:16
Speaker 5: Whether you go back through mister Burke's sub diffusion in
21:20
Speaker 5: so many issues, he wants to be the next prime minister.
21:24
Speaker 5: He does, and he is doing everything he can from
21:28
Speaker 5: changing induspilations laws to get the votes of the unions
21:32
Speaker 5: when there's a new context. This is again flushing his credentials,
21:37
Speaker 5: saying look at me, with all these additional people going
21:40
Speaker 5: on the electoral role, look at me. Letting these people
21:43
Speaker 5: go after the funeral will get their votes back in
21:46
Speaker 5: everything he's doing is self serving and not in the
21:50
Speaker 5: national interest. Heaven help us if they get back.
21:53
Speaker 2: Indeed, all right, Holly Hughes Broman, Bishop, thank you votes
21:56
Speaker 2: so much. Now still to come ahead of the funeral tomorrow,
21:59
Speaker 2: the heart breaking words of Ariel Bibis's friend farmer. Israeli
22:03
Speaker 2: government spokesman Elon Levy will join me after this quick break.
22:11
Speaker 2: Welcome back and let's bring you now. Former Israeli government
22:14
Speaker 2: spokesman and one of our favorite guests on the show,
22:18
Speaker 2: Elon Levy. Elon, great to see you as always.
22:21
Speaker 1: Look, it's going to be back sharing.
22:23
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is going to be a completely heartbreaking day Wednesday,
22:27
Speaker 2: Israel time. It's the funeral for Shiri, Ariel and baby Kafir.
22:32
Speaker 2: This will be a private ceremony, but it will be
22:35
Speaker 2: broadcast live. How are you feeling, how's all of Israel
22:39
Speaker 2: feeling ahead of this?
22:43
Speaker 8: Tomorrow is going to be one of the most heartbreaking
22:46
Speaker 8: moments in Israel's history, a moment we thought was never
22:49
Speaker 8: going to happen. That we are going to bury two
22:52
Speaker 8: children who were snatched from their beds, brutally executed by
22:58
Speaker 8: terrorists with their own bear hands, who then mutilated their
23:02
Speaker 8: bodies to make it look like they were killed in
23:05
Speaker 8: an Israeli air strike that was their cover story, and
23:08
Speaker 8: then released them in a macabre dead baby parade, inviting
23:13
Speaker 8: families from Gaza to watch, all set to music, sending
23:17
Speaker 8: them back with a woman who wasn't even their mother.
23:21
Speaker 8: This story has ignited anger in Israel, a reminder that
23:26
Speaker 8: we knew Hamas was evil, we didn't know how evil
23:30
Speaker 8: it really is. The Bibas children became a symbol of
23:34
Speaker 8: the barbarity of the October seventh massacre. What Hamas did,
23:38
Speaker 8: the abduction of children, holding them for a ransom. You know,
23:42
Speaker 8: today is a very sad day. Today the Lift Ship's
23:44
Speaker 8: family is burying or dead Lift Shits, an eighty three
23:47
Speaker 8: year old peace activist who was also snatched from his bed,
23:51
Speaker 8: murdered in captivity, and sent back in a grotesque spectacle.
23:55
Speaker 8: And tomorrow the eyes of the whole nation are going
23:58
Speaker 8: to be on this funeral, comforting poor Yard and Bebus,
24:02
Speaker 8: who survived five hundred days in captivity. Wondering how on
24:07
Speaker 8: earth someone recovers from such horrific trauma.
24:12
Speaker 2: I don't know how he will ever be able to
24:14
Speaker 2: move on from this trauma. Now it was really heartbreaking
24:18
Speaker 2: to see these comments. The mother of Ariel Bibas's friend
24:22
Speaker 2: yo Av, so five year old boy, has recounted how
24:26
Speaker 2: she broke the news to her son. Have a look
24:28
Speaker 2: at this, Arias.
24:33
Speaker 8: And Benasamesh Beni Berlin ex.
24:42
Speaker 2: Arielo medi so Elana. Again, this is something that even
24:55
Speaker 2: children are trying to process. I mean, the trauma in
24:59
Speaker 2: Israel runs deeper. A five year old boy trying to
25:02
Speaker 2: understand why his friends not coming home.
25:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, children have paid a horrible price for the October
25:10
Speaker 8: seventh massacre and the ongoing October seventh hostage crisis.
25:14
Speaker 1: You know.
25:14
Speaker 8: I interviewed just a while ago the wife of one
25:18
Speaker 8: of the hostages in Gaza. His name is Omri Muran.
25:21
Speaker 8: He's a father of two. He has been trapped in
25:24
Speaker 8: the dungeons of Gaza for over five hundred days, and
25:28
Speaker 8: he left behind two little children, two little daughters, who
25:31
Speaker 8: were held at gunpoint in their home in near Oz,
25:34
Speaker 8: only seven hundred meters away from the Gaza strip on
25:37
Speaker 8: October seventh. And I asked the mother, Elishai, what are
25:41
Speaker 8: you telling your children? How do you explain this to them?
25:44
Speaker 8: And she said that her daughter, who was only three
25:47
Speaker 8: at the time has flashbacks and memories of things that
25:52
Speaker 8: even she the mother, had managed to suppress and had
25:54
Speaker 8: forgotten about from the trauma of the moment that their
25:57
Speaker 8: father was abducted. And this is a reminder there is
26:00
Speaker 8: no such thing as humanitarian cases and other cases for
26:04
Speaker 8: bringing the hostages back. All of the hostages are humanitarian cases.
26:09
Speaker 8: Hostages like Alon Orhel who still has shrapnel in his
26:13
Speaker 8: eye and is going blind in a dark underground tunnel
26:16
Speaker 8: because he was abducted from a bomb shelter where hamas
26:19
Speaker 8: through rocket grenades five hundred days ago. And humanitarian cases
26:24
Speaker 8: like those who have left kids behind, and humanitarian cases
26:26
Speaker 8: of people who are just being starved and tortured.
26:29
Speaker 2: It's all utterly depraved and shocking. Elon, thank you very
26:33
Speaker 2: much for joining us tonight. Really appreciate it.
26:35
Speaker 8: Thank you.
26:36
Speaker 2: Now. We'll be back at the normal time eight o'clock tomorrow,
26:39
Speaker 2: but stay tuned. Now we've got Danika di Giorgio in
26:42
Speaker 2: the man Cave filling in for Paul Marray.
