that's all the time we have for "sg md" today, but let's keep the conversation going on twitter. @doctorsanjaygupta. "new day sunday" continues right now christi paul and victor blackwell. 8:00 on a sunday, good morning, so grateful for your company. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. breaking news in the middle east, there are growing concerns that a ground invasion may be inevitable between israel and gaza. >> because overnight israeli forces ignored the u.n.'s request for a cease-fire and crossed into gaza, the first time in this conflict raiding a long range missile site. the military is dropping leaf t leaflets warning residents in northern gaza of more air strikes today, ordering civilians to evacuate their homes as hamas leaders are

targeted. >> more than 160 people have been killed in gaza by israel's air strikes this week. the u.n. says the majority of those are civilians. third are children. let's head to wolf blitzer live in jerusalem. wolf, earlier this morning you spoke with the israel defense forces spokesman about the possibility that the missile raid last night was not an isolated incident. >> he made it absolutely clear it wasn't an isolated incident, there would be more of these kinds of incidents where israeli troops actually cross in on the ground, go in there, do what their assignment is and then get out and go back to israel. in this last incident they were there for about a half an hour these israeli commandos, four slightly injured and all got back to their base but he did indicate to me lieutenant colonel peter lerner, spokesman for the idf israel defense forces that more of these operations were likely. listen to this. >> we're preparing that

possibility. it's not something we wanted to do but in the past five or six days we have built up the forces and indeed there is a substantial force on the borders with gaza and if the order is given, we are prepared for that type of activity. >> he was referring to a more robust invasion of gaza. i don't suspect they'll try to go in all and reoccupy gaza. they withdrew from gaza in 2005. i suspect they'll try to destroy as much of hamas' rocket and missile and other military capabilities as they can. this one northern town of gaza they air lifted these leaflets telling civilians get out as quickly as possible because more air strikes are going to go into this one town in northern gaza. lot of the people are not able to leave. they're staying put because it's

congested heavily concentrated area, there's limited places where people can go. >> wolf, we know israeli military is saying that hamas is using civilians as human shields and that's part of why the death toll there, 160 dead in gaza s so high and there's no death toll so far in israel. is there any way to verify whether hamas truly is using civilians as human shields, because when we talk to somebody from the plo this morning, they said that is not what's happening. >> if you take a look where some of the rockets are launched from there, heavily concentrated populated areas. israeli also go after the source of the rocket launches and there will be civilian casualties and there have been extensive civilian casualties inside gaza, as you point out more than 160 people, many civilians, women and children, more than 1,000 have been injured.

when hamas rockets come into israel, rockets and missiles, they're targeting various populated centers in israel. the israelis have a significant advantage in that they have this iron dome anti-missile system which works effectively especially when they can get information, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, a minute and a half in advance where it's heading they can launch the anti-missile systems, very dramatic and knock out the incoming rockets and missiles in the sky and they work very, very well. that's the main reason i suspect certainly all the analysts suspect why there have been no deaths as far as the rockets coming into israel because so many of them when they're getting towards populated centers are simply destroyed up in the skies. >> wolf blitzer live in jerusalem, thank you so much. we appreciate it this morning. we're also learning that palestinian americans are being evacuated from gaza. >> diana magnay has the story along the israeli/gaza border.

>> citizens with dual nationality have been given foermgs leave gaza through the crossing here at the northern most tip of the strip. we've seen a stream of u.s. citizens come through, have their documents checked, 140 of them boarding buses to freedom effectively. they said they were so glad to be out. the air strikes have been terrifying but they're sad to leave their friends and relatives behind. you left gaza this morning. has it been terrifying? >> very terrifying. i was born and raised in the united states so it's something that i'm not used to and it was a very terrifying experience for sure. >> reporter: what was it like? >> i wasn't used to it, especially since i live in america so i didn't like that we were filled with tears. it was kind of scary because you never knew where they were going to bomb and you kept hearing explosions, sometimes they were closer, sometimes far away. you didn't know if your loved

ones were hurt or anything so it was kind of, you know, it wasn't a nice experience. we don't know what's going to happen in the future. >> reporter: israeli defense forces dropped leaflets over northern gaza warning citizens to stay away from hamas targets and hamas in turn told them to ignore the washings, it adds to the feeling that a ground invasion could happen soon. diana nag in a, cnn, israel. >> thanks so diana magnay. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says his military is ready for "all possibilities." >> earlier this morning he warned hamas mill tabts that israeli commanders are taking aim at weapons stockpiles and operating centers in gaza. >> to talk more about this with host of cnn's "state of the union" candy crowley who is in washington. have we heard from the white house about this situation this morning? >> we have sort of all along and the white house has taken the position of first condemning the

rockets that consistently fire from gaza into israel. it all began with the deaths of three israeli teen aimingers, followed by the death of a pal stibian teenager. the white house said israel has a right to defend itself but also said we are quite willing to try to broker a cease-fire here but at the moment, prime minister netanyahu says that's not even on the table. while condemning the violence and israel's right to defend itself, and we also know that the president has spoken to the prime minister, so at this point, the story really is on the ground there, and i think the white house understands that. >> and one you have the big stories i'm sure you'll be discussing this morning in addition to the crisis at the border, who do you have this morning? >> among others, we have senator

john mccain, as you know, he and his fellow senator jeff flake have a bill that they want to put out to try to deal with keeping children from coming to the border as well as those children who are already here. the president as you know wants almost $4 billion to deal with it. republicans seem quite reluctant to give him that without some other things added to it, and then we're going to talk to four members of congress who have come and one you have the things we want to talk about is the speaker john boehner's lawsuit, against the president and where they think that's going. >> all right, candy crowley, that will be an interesting conversation. we're looking forward to it, thank you. >> thanks. >> you can catch candy on "state of the union" at the top of the hour, 9:00 a.m. eastern. the crisis in the middle east took center staining today at the vatican as well. earlier this morning pope frar sis maetd an appeal for a cease-fire between the two sides. "i make a heartfelt appeal to all of you to continue to pray with insistence for peace in the holy land. in light of the tragic events of

the last days, i exhort to all the interested parties and to all of those who have political responsibility at local and international level to not give up the prayer, nor any effort to cease any hostility and reach the desired peace for the good of all." the thousands of children still coming to the u.s. illegally and often they end up briefly in federal holding centers. we'll talk with the toured one facilities. >> finally. plus today, today, what doe music tell you? ♪ it's it. before the world cup final kicks off we'll look at some of the tournament's most amazing games. we'll get you geared up. hi, i'm jay farner president of quicken loans ane here in detroit, michigan, helping folks refinance their homes and save money.

authorities in mexico are trying to figure out whether a body found in a shallow grave belongs to a missing american man. harry devert was on a transcontinental motorcycle journey when he disappeared six months ago. his green kawasaki motorcycle was also found in the grave. >> his last communication was an ominous text message being escorted "to an area too dangerous for me to be." his mother provided a dna sample for his remains. we know children by the tens of thousands at this point are streaming across the mexican border and so many of them are traveling alone and we know it's jolting to realize they're fleeing gang violence and all kinds of other problems in central america. >> the obama administration asked for almost $4 billion to

address the crisis, including a pr campaign urging parents not to send their children to the u.s. illegally but for now many of them wind up in federal holding facilities. >> republican congressman jim brightstein toured one facility in his home state of oklahoma and joins us from tulsa. we spoke with you before your tour yesterday. what did you learn? >> the stories of human tragedy are verified, a lot of the children quite frankly don't even make it to the united states. the scenario is very bleak. there are parents in the united states that have been smuggled here who are here illegally and they're attempting to get their kids here. in many cases they're paying coyotes who then pay transnational criminal organizations in northern mexico, as your previous story indicated, mexico is a very

dangerous place, northern mexico. there are 70,000 to 100,000 dead bodies in the last seven years as a direct result of the organized crime and of course the criminal organizations they're not just killing each other, gangs and cartels, they're killing judges and police officers and in many cases politicians. this is a bad scenario. so for the parents that are in this country illegally, if they're paying coyotes or criminal organizations to transport their children into this country, that's a very dangerous scenario. there are accounts of parents not being able to pay and the result is the children get put into forced labor or forced prostitution. this is a crisis that needs to be dealt with in a serious way. >> congressman i want to ask you about something we read this morning, the "new york times" editorial board weighed in in on

the request from the president. "congress should swiftly approve it since it contains pretty much everything that lawmaker, even president obama's republican critics, have been demanding." do you support this request? will you vote to give the president the money needed? >> i disagree with the assessment. certainly what we've got to do to stem this crisis is secure the southern border. the $3.7 billion does not do that. we know what works, to secure the southern border. it has worked in san diego, a double layer fence, sensors that include remote sensing satellites and also we need rapid response teams. >> congressman i have to jump in here. let me challenge you. you said you have got to secure the southern border. in many cases these children, teenagers, the families are not

trying to run by these border agents. they are surrendering. they want to be taken into these places because they've gone on this horrendous trip. >> you're right. >> so securing the border if they just get there, that's still the challenge that the country has to face. >> well, you have to remember, the children are turning themselves in at the border because they have family or friends that are already in the united states that got smuggled in as adults so if you stem the adults being smuggled into the united states, then that will quell the demand signal of these adults paying transnational criminal organizations to transport their children. ultimately the key here is to secure the southern border to end the demand signal that's being sent down south. >> quickly, we have a couple of seconds, what did you see when you went inside this facility? >> i saw a whole lot of folks that were working very hard to deal with disease, folks that

were dealing with children that have been trum traumatized and mental health professionals were doing the lord's work. this is a very serious crisis that needs to be dealt with. i was satisfied with the level of care the children are getting. i am not satisfied with the fact that the crisis continues and we're not doing what needs to be done to solve it. >> so you're satisfied with the work that was done. the president, a large part of this, is to continue to pay for the work that's being done because the children have not stopped. how will that be paid for? how will that be funded? >> the key here is to stem the crisis. what that requires, that requires us to reunite the children with their families back in their home countries, so that people understand down south, look, if you come here, you're got going to get in. if you do get in, you cannot stay. that's the only way we're going to stem this crisis. there is trafficking happening here. this needs to be dealt with in a

serious way, and certainly marsha blackburn, a friend of mine who toured with me yesterday, she suggested that we take the money to stem this crisis, we take it from the foreign aid that we're providing the countries down south from whence a lot of these children and adults are coming. >> we'll hear more from her, too, she will be on "state of the union" at 9:00. congressman jim brydenstine, thank you for sharing what you saw yesterday after you were able to get in there. thank you. >> thank you, sir. well, a month of world cup drama action, the heartbreak all ends today, well heartbreak continues for some people, at least one team is going to win. >> before the final world cup match kicks off in brazil, we have got the journey each of these teams took to get there.
