Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the war in the Middle East. Today marks one month since the Hamas attack in southern Israel that's set off the conflict. Now, the Hamas run health ministry in Gaza says more than ten thousand people have been killed since the fighting began on October seventh, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is rejecting calls for a ceasefire. There'll be no ceasefire, general ceasefire in Gaza without the release of our hostages. As far as tactical little pauses an hour here, an hour there, we've had them before. I suppose we'll check the circumstances in order to enable goods, umanitarian goods to come in or our hostages individual hostages to leave. But I don't think there's going to be a general seas far and Prime Minister Natanyah, who tells ABC News Israel could have security control over Gaza for an extended period. Israeli military spokesman Peter Lerner tells Bloomberg Radio the goal of war is to dismantle humous as a governing authority and a terrorist entity. Of course, we understand that that role, that goal is a very expensive goal and it will take time. And so the operation itself, the war itself, is an open ended war. It so we don't have any power glass counting the minutes until we end. And you can listen back to our entire interview with Israeli military spokesman Peter Lerner on the Bloomberg Talks podcast. Well, Nathan, back here in the US, the civil trial continues in New York against Donald Trump. It was a fiery day one. On the witness stand for the former president of Bloomberg's, Ed Baxter has the story. Trump yelled at the judge, said he was biased, and the court was a fraud, was a skill, and this is the case. It should have an attorney general. Letitia James says she got what she needed. At the end of the day, the documentary evidence demonstrated that, in fact, he falsely inflated his assets, and Bloomberg's Patricia Hurtado says she's never seen anything like it. He was claiming that I've done real estate for fifty years and as a developer, basically I have a right to just declare magically what Something's worth. Daughter Ivanka is on the stand Wednesday Ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio. Okay and thank you now. Donald Trump will not be participating in tomorrow Night's Republican presidential debate in Miami. Five candidates will. They are Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswami, Senator Tim Scott, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Former White House chief of staff mc mulvaney says Trump's decision not to participate may have repercussions. I think it may come back to haunt him when Joe Biden, assuming Bibes's the Democrat nominee, has the ability then with good reason to say, oh, Donald, you didn't debate in the primary, I'm not debating you in the general. And Trump would be desperate for a debate headhead against Bid and Bide would be desperate for an excuse not to do one. And former Trump White House Chief of Staff mcmulvaney says Nicky Haley is the one with the most to gain from this debate. Mulvaney was on Bloomberg Sound On with Joe Matthew.

The job market remains strong, the unemployment rate is still quite low at around three point nine percent, So overall the fundamentals are healthy. But we haven't completely solved the inflation problem. We still have more work ahead of us to get it done.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. It has now been one month since the deadly Hamas attack in southern Israel and the retaliatory war in Gaza shows little sign of slowing. The Israeli military says it has Gaza City surrounded and is moving closer to the city the center as it carries out operations from the ground and air, while the Hamas run health ministry in Gaza says the death toll from this month of war has now passed ten thousand. For the latest were joined by Bloomberg News Israel government and economy reporter Galite Alstein Ghalite, good morning. We are one month into this war. Given what we're hearing from Israeli leaders in the political and military spheres, what could month two look like? Yeah, so, actually we've been hearing on Prime Minister in Nathaniel On tonight, he speaks to NBABC News in an interview. He references the talks of a possible ceasefire in the Gazza striep, and he says that it's totally dependent on the release of all Israelis being held hostage by Hamas. However, he does say that Israel could allow tactical passes for humanitarian purposes. He says, and our hear and our their quote unquote, and he explains that in his opinion, the ceasefire would hamper the war effort because the only thing so he says that works on these criminals. As he refers to Hamas, is the military pressure that Israel has been excerting. So we also hear on Israel's defense minister, you're Afghan speaking today, he doesn't give a very specific wife frame for the war moving forward, but he does say it will take more than a week or two, so we can at least read into what he says is the fighting going on for several more weeks, the fighting itself for several more weeks, but what comes after, what comes as far as the change of leadership that Israel is looking for after it achieves that goal that it's set out to dismantle and destroy Hamas. So I think that is still a question that remains to be answered, and I do not think that there is a clear answer. Also for any Israeli officials or other official shows we're involved in some sort of talks or vaccinal talks on this som on this matter, it is a complicated issue. If I go back home to what Nataniel said last night, he didn't discuss some who would be ruling or who would be leaving Gaza in the day after, but he did say that for an indefinite period after the war. Israel would like to maintain, will maintain and will want to maintain and overall security responsibility in Gaza, suggesting that it will maintain that roll even after the fighting in the territory end. So that does not mean that Israel will will occupy Gaza and will rule there, but it will definitely want we want an arm and a leg in the security responsibility. In the strip you mentioned the Prime Minister natanyahuo talking about tactical pauses in the fighting. We heard from Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln over the weekend in his whirlwind trip talking about humanitarian pauses. Is there really a difference between those two ideas well? You know, I think when you speak about human humanitarian pauses, like Nathaniel said himself, you speak about very brief arm positive he said, an hour here, an hour there, while seasfire fire as much you know, wider concept that basically doesn't even seem possible now in the sense that there are a lot of Israeli troops and thousands of Israeli troops on the ground in Gaza encircling Gaza City fighting there, and uh and the and the and the wider seas fire and overall seasfire that would see fighting completely pause for a longer time than an hour or or a couple hours here and there doesn't seem possible as long as so many Israeli troops are in the ground and there's so much competing going on on the ground. We've also heard Israeli leaders say that there's no humanitarian crisis in southern Gaza from what we can tell with the situation on the ground. Uh does that square with what we're seeing. So look, we're saying, first of all, we're still seeing that. The Israeli Army saying that it continues to operate a sa corridor even today for four hours towards Wadi Gaza, So that would mean people moving still moving from northern Gaza to the southern part. And the visually Army publishes documentation today of residents living the Day two neighborhood that's a neighborhood in the southern part of Gaza City waving white cloths at tanks, meaning they want to say, you know, we're innocent civilians led us through and the army is doing that. And we also saw yesterday the Egyptian border did eventually reopen for the evacuation of foreign nationals and dual citizens, and also a handful of injured people. We do not know the exact numbers, but that did happen. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond.
