Transcript
00:00 What are your expectations about how soon an incursion might take place?
00:04 Hours? Days?
00:05 Well, I'm speaking with my Israeli counterpart on pretty much a daily basis,
00:12 so I haven't got specific details about the planned timings
00:16 of future Israeli Defence Force operations.
00:21 We know that they have been communicating with people in north Gaza
00:25 through various forms of media, including leaflet drops,
00:29 saying they should vacate the area.
00:31 That looks, of course, to be the prelude to some form of further military operation,
00:36 but I don't have details as to exactly what that will be or exactly what the timing...
00:40 But imminent is a good word to use here.
00:42 Well, I think so, because the actions that the IDF are taking
00:45 with regard to encouraging civilians to leave the area
00:49 indicate the kind of things that you would do prior to a further military action.
