Netanyahu rules out a ceasefire in Gaza

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The families of three Israeli hostages seen in a distressing video released by Hamas today have expressed their anguish - but also their relief to know that their loved ones are still alive. We talk to a hostage negotiator about what happens next. We hear from a mother in Gaza struggling to keep her five children safe and fed, as the head of the UN agency that supports Palestinian refugees tells the UN the human tragedy unfolding there is "unbearable" And we'll have the first in a series of special reports from Taiwan ahead of next year's elections.
