And there are many here who fear that what we're seeing now is a gradual slide towards a resumption of a military conflict in Gaza.

And a lot of people do say, don't they, that they're their most treasured possessions. When the house burns or the house floods, that's what they run to.

Now you're dealing with lots of soggy bits of paper that have been submerged for days, in some cases weeks. How do you go about restoring them?

Well, I think it's worth putting it into some context. This is the latest in what is now a very, very long series of, frankly, very cruel, harrowing videos that Hamas has released throughout the past 16 months with the express purpose of playing on the frayed emotions of the Israeli public and heaping pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu.

This is the latest in what is now a very, very long series of, frankly, very cruel, harrowing videos that Hamas has released throughout the past 16 months with the express purpose of playing on the frayed emotions of the Israeli public and heaping pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu.

In this video, as you just mentioned, we see five Israeli hostages. Two of them have their faces blurred. Two of them are brothers, Eitan and Yair Horn. Now, Yair was released just a couple of weeks ago. It seems, though, this video was filmed just before that moment. And we see in the video Yair and Eitan saying goodbye to each other. It's an incredibly emotional and harrowing thing to watch.

And Eitan pleads to the camera... pleads to Israel's prime minister not to abandon him and not to abandon the remaining hostages. There are thought to be 24 hostages still alive being held in Gaza. The prime minister's office, as you can imagine, has utterly condemned the video, calling it psychological warfare.

And the families of the hostages, actually, who approved the release of this video, which doesn't always happen, but said that it was all right to broadcast this, they have said that this underlines once again the importance of getting all the hostages out.

Well, negotiations on phase two were due to begin yesterday. They did begin in Cairo, but then the Israeli delegation came back. We think that the negotiations are likely to carry on at a distance. Consultations going on with Mr Netanyahu and his senior colleagues, they want some kind of extension in which we will see more hostages and Palestinian prisoners released.

Hamas seems to be resisting that. And so far, at the moment, there is no sign of a breakthrough.
