Turning overseas now to Iran, reportedly readying its response against
Israel for striking its consulate in Syria.
AB CS Brett Clinic joins us live from Tel Aviv
with more on that.
Good morning to you, Britt.
Good morning, Janay. Yeah, Israel is on high alert,
the US warning an Iranian attack on Israel could come
as soon as this weekend or next week.
This morning threats of an Iranian attack on Israel escalating
AUS official telling ABC News Iran could retaliate as soon
as this weekend or next week following the attack on
an Iranian consulate building in Syria that killed a top
commander.
The official saying Tehran could strike an Israeli diplomatic facility
or possibly even a direct attack on Israeli territory.
The heightened regional tension as Israel faces backlash from the
world central kitchen over its investigation into Monday's deadly aid
worker attack and urging an independent investigation saying the IDF
cannot credibly investigate its own failure in Gaza.
The charity adding that Israel's apologies are cold comfort for
the seven victims which include AUS Canadian citizen The IDF
firing two officers in the wake of their own probe
admitting to a terrible chain of errors.
The strike on the 8 vehicles is a grave mistake
stemming from serious operational failures,
mistaken classification and identification errors in decision making.
This is Israel announces it will open the areas crossing
in northern Gaza as well as a port to allow
more aid in.
But the steps to open up additional aid routes fall
short of addressing the White House calls to protect aid
workers.
Several aid groups have paused operations out of safety concerns
following the attack.
Human Rights Watch program director Sari Bashi telling me the
US needs to take its pressure on Israel a step
further.
What President Biden should do is suspend arms transfers to
the Israeli military.
Until such time as the Israeli military complies with international
humanitarian law.
And guys, the IDF just confirming that the body of
Elad Katsu was retrieved from southern Gaza overnight and taken
back to Israel.
And now this is the president calls on the leaders
of Egypt and Qatar to press a must for a
hostage release deal.
Janay. All right, Brett, thank you.
And tomorrow morning on This Week,
Martha Raddatz will have an exclusive interview with World Central
Kitchen founder Jose Andres,
who has been very outspoken.
