The Israeli PM says he would only consider a temporary truce in exchange for hostages.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has categorically ruled out a ceasefire in Gaza, saying he would only consider a temporary truce in exchange for hostages. We speak to his senior advisor Mark Regev. 

Also on the programme: tributes to one of Israel’s best known peace activists, Vivian Silver, who was killed in Hamas' attacks on Israel on the 7th of October; and a cultural history of eyeliner in the Arab World. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Kenneth Roth, the former executive director of Human Rights Watch and now a visiting professor at Princeton University, and Bel Trew, chief international correspondent for the Independent.
