wednesday at eight on hgtv cnn breaking news welcome to for our viewers in the united states and around the world, i'm jim sciutto in tel aviv, the chris wallace show will start in just a few minutes, but we do want to get you the latest on our breaking news we have been following all morning. >> the middle east on edge after the killing of hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah in an israeli airstrike friday today night. nasrallah, one of the founders of hezbollah, oversaw its transformation into a powerful paramilitary force in the middle east responsible for numerous terrorist attacks the strike that killed us rela happened in a densely populated area, killed at least six people, wounded, dozens more that's according to lebanese officials in all israel targeted more than 140 sites. the idf says those targets
7:02 am
included weapons storage facilities, production sites, as well as other infrastructure embedded inside residential neighborhoods in beirut there are concerns about a possible response. hezbollah has fired rockets into israel as it has so often these last several months, iran supreme leader says its forces are standing alongside hezbollah. this morning, an idf spokesperson defended the targeting of nasrallah claimed israel did not see a wider conflict in the region israel does not seek a wider escalation we seek to things two simple things to bring our hostages home for almost a year in hamas captivity. >> in all means and to make sure that our borders are safe and secure for our citizens
7:03 am
senior international correspondent ben wedeman joins us now from beirut. >> and ben, as you've been describing in recent days many in lebanon were bracing themselves for a wider war. i wonder if today they imagined there already in it there's no question about it that they're in a gym starting with last friday's israeli shakanos strikes on south lebanon they left more than 500 people dead, many civilians among them, and taken into account the series of strikes that have killed most of the senior military terry commanders of his butler. >> the overnight strikes in beirut where we saw more than that perhaps as many as two dozen strikes on the southern suburbs behind me where we still see that smoke is still rising from those strikes that continued hi into the day. and of course, with the killing of hassan nasrallah yesterday,
7:04 am
definitely this is yet another war between israel and hezbollah. and the concern is that with a gun who it might be some difficult for some people to realize this, but nasrallah was a pragmatist. he was somebody who could keep the young hot heads of hezbollah under control back in 19, children, 2019, i was at a demonstration in central beirut where it looked like there was going to be a massive fight between supporters and opponents. opponents of hezbollah, nasrallah was giving a speech and told his supporters to leave now and just like that snap of a finger, they left. he's a man who was able to control the hotheads of the group. now, it's believed that perhaps his successor will be naim qassem, somebody i saw just the other day where he was giving the eulogy for one of the assassinated hezbollah military commanders. he's considered a
7:05 am
hardliner somebody who isn't willing to compromise in the messy arena of lebanese politics? but he who perhaps is even closer to the line of iran. the worry is that in a sense, a decapitated his butler may be more dangerous, much more volatile and much more difficult to control wedeman in beirut thanks so much. i want to turn now to see it international diplomatic editor, nic robertson, and nick certainly from the perspective of israelis who have had to evacuate the entire northern part of their country, the northernmost tip, due to hezbollah rocket attack because as well as to the families of victims of terror attacks carried out by hezbollah through the years, even going all the way back to 1983, killing those us marines there. this was not a pragmatists. this was a terror leader in the
7:06 am
region responsible for violence yeah, fair for them. >> he was a devout enemy and the views that he espoused were a completely antithetical to the life that they wanted to leave. but they also will not be confused by the fact that when you when you kill one has well, i commander, that you don't get another and it's not predictable what shape or form. the next one will be. in fact that they conversation with some senior officials here speculating about the possibility of this happening, though they gave me no indication that this sort of targeting of nasrallah was coming, but there are question to me was well if you do that, then you don't know what you're going to get. and at least with nasrallah, you knew what you're going to get. so i think there has been also a pragmatic calculation of the leadership level in israel that this was because in the short term, it partakes israel is the, is there though? independent
7:07 am
hezbollah or is the israeli description as we heard from the idf a short time ago on this broadcast, that they essentially follow iran's directions to a tee they have their own domestic constituency within lebanon and a political will in a political dispensation in lebanon and and they, they act in accordance with their interests inside of lebanon. >> but their support and what makes them stronger that the kind of immediacy with which they came to power and influence in the very early 1980s was off the back of that iranian support. they would not be where they are today without iran support and iran needs them as as a projection of force and of protection of iran, right on israel's borders. so no, they cannot act independently, particularly an the international arena, particularly on the issue of visceral yes, they confer a few rockets here on there, but they're going to be working in listening to what tehran has to say i wonder now as israel is
7:08 am
at least considering and laying some groundwork for a ground operation in lebanon remains to be seen if they ordered one or the size of anyone, they might order. >> but it has beloved arose to some degree out of the israeli occupation and from 80 to 2000 do we know the diffiies of eliminating hezbollah, which are not dissimilar from the difficulties israel has faced from eliminating hamas from gaza. depleting certainly killing thousands it's perhaps more. but eliminated is that, is that a goal that israel believes it could accomplish i don't believe that the military assesses that they can eliminate hezbollah, but what you, what the threat this is, how amas evaluate thread, its ability sort of times by willingness to exercise that ability. >> that is, they have the weapons, but will they have the desire to use them a moment that perhaps ability to use them isn't that look the
7:09 am
reality of crossing the border you're going to have a different flight and entirely different fights. the one that you are having right now, the one you having right now is from the air, you have dominance, its intelligence are you can strike targets, you reach over their heads. the one going across the border as you're walking into an area of booby traps, you're walking into an area of mind, you're walking into an area where the enemy knows the terrain. you don't know the terrain. but the limit of going into that terrain will it just be a couple of miles to destroy, create a buffer zone? and how that with bonds with use of artillery, all of that, but it's, you troops going over are obviously much more vulnerable because you're sitting there in the enemy is right at your elbow, so to speak, in the sky, you have a level of safety and we saw that with so israeli forces and the losses in the 2006 wars as those israeli forces went into lebanon nic robertson, thanks so much but of course there is a human cost to all this and the humanitarian situation is deepening in lebanonas the health minister says it is likely that israeli strikes
7:10 am
have displaced up to half 1 million people inside the country. as a result, not just to the strike that killed, killed the hezbollah leader, but others that have gone after weapons storage sites and other sites throughout the city, sometimes israel has issued warnings to civilians what the hezbollah leaders strike it. did not seen an international reporter, nada bashir is in london. she has been following those humanitarian costs. what are you hearing from those on the ground now? >> relation is only getting more desperate for civilians on the ground as we continue to see what i've seen multiple strikes are targeting areas which as you mentioned, are densely populated with civilians. we saw several rounds of strikes targeting the southern suburb of dahiyeh yesterday and overnight, an area that is crammed, filled with apartment buildings, residential so buildings are filled with families and civilians. and what we have also seen as a result of the fear that this has caused is a huge number of civilians taking to the streets, sleeping on the
7:11 am
streets overnight. our teams on the ground witnessed this last side many gathering around the coastal area in the west of both they're all sleeping on the streets with their children, with their families have fear that their residential buildings could also be struck or maybe impacted by nearby strikes. that as you mentioned, we have heard that there have been some evacuation orders in some cases issue to civilians, which the israeli military claims are located near hezbollah targets but what we've also been hearing is that oftentimes there were simply not enough time, not enough warning to give civilians and ample amount of time to actually get out and get to safety. and of course, this is a country which has already been through so much in recent years. this is a hugely distressing and difficult situation for the civilians of lebanon and i imagined like the residents of gaza, there must be some question as to whether the safe areas are indeed entirely safe. nada bashir. thanks so much for

7:17 am
that appears to be moving more and more the kamala harris diodes, women likes me. i never thought i had donald trump making a fresh appeal to female voters as a new cnn poll shows only 38% of women have a favorable opinion of them, with 57% unfavorable you will be protected and i will be your protector. >> perhaps a hard sell for someone who a civil jury said sexually abused e. jean carroll. >> you will no longer be thinking about abortion and who takes responsibility for the reversal of roe v. wade, rolling back the federal right to abortion. but trump has a defender. >> maybe some you know strong tweets. >> but everything else great for this country. >> melania trump in a rare interview, praising her husband's record, as we've doubled down with religious voters. first, telling
7:18 am
catholics they are literally really being persecuted by the biden/harris administration and just as blunt with jewish voters, any jewish person that votes for her should have their head examined kara yeah, wow. thank you for that. >> we'll trump's protector comments, win over some women no. i don't know who it would be. it was very creepy and a lot of women reacted that way like, we don't want you as their protector or somewhat of a predator is what actually were. and so i just know it was creepy. it was creepy. it's felt very margaret atwood. it felt strange. >> was the screen handmaid's tale? >> that is correct. it felt very i will protect you. women don't need to be protected that way. we need to protect him from him in some cases, some of the women he's encountered the trump campaign says that his focus on the border and especially crime, will resonate with some women on the other hand, a group called anti psychopath pac has started running ads street
7:19 am
during women who say they were assaulted by trump to this room. >> where she made against the wall and starts kissing me forcefully, tried to push him, kept coming back at me right can trump make this protector role work to win over some women voters to lower the gender gap, which is pretty bay. well, when you look at the women who support trump, many of them do look at him as a kind of protector. when you look at married women in the suburbs groups that he's appealed to in past elections cycles there is this view that he represents a kind of assertive defense of the country. when you look at border issues, when you look at public safety, when you look at those who oppose him, this is going to be infuriating. this is going to be something that's going to be inciting that's going to lead some folks do contribute more small dollar donor nations to the harris campaign. so i think that it's polarized and women are polarized. just as men are polarized, and the country then there is melania trump who beta
7:20 am
breyer statement in a rare interview, take a look he's really a family man who loves his family. he loves this country lulu is malabia a good character witness for her husband? go for it no going to leave it at that. no. no, of course, it's not a good care and absurd, but wait a minute. >> paul, there were 30 something for percent women were course of course there are women who support donald trump. >> i mean, that has been true and actually the majority of them were often white women who support donald trump. and there's a lot of different reasons why someone would do, would support donald trump. but the problem is when you have this rhetoric coming from donald trump saying, i'm going to be your protector. i mean, a lot of women don't need a big daddy, especially one who is been, you know alleged to have assaulted women and has it's been convicted in sexual assault. and so there is this
7:21 am
real sense that he keeps on falling into this trap where he is actually instead of making inroads just creeps people out and with meloni, i kept thinking what is she getting? like, you know, there's all these reports about her being paid for showing up at various things and i can thinking what is i wonder what the transaction here was? >> yes. well, i was going to ask you about that because what do you make of melania's role in this campaign? >> she has been virtually absent from the entire campaign. >> yes, she appeared the last day of the convention, but didn't say a word and there is this report that she was paid a quarter of but million dollars to make a speech to a republican group in april for her husband, who by then was the republican nominee? >> yes, i can try to tie all that together. i don't think that the sexual assault ads are all that effective on anybody who hasn't already made up their mind if you believe the sexual assaults stuff, you're probably not going to be going voting for trump anyway. one person who does believe the
7:22 am
sexual assault stuff in my theory is melania trump, and she was humiliated by those trials. and if you wanted to show up you bring out the checkbook. i think trump's problem is ms protect, her thing was weird. i agree but it's sorted we have a right-wing version of the old life of julius stuff. we got from the left trump's real problem with, i think a lot of women when you're talking about at scale is they don't like the drama of trump. he's not just guy. he makes the country feel chaotic and ill at ease. it makes it seem like he's inviting violence at times and like that is not something that appeals to a lot of suburban women and those are the women that he's really suffering with. >> the other the other thing that's actually happening here with melania trump when the entire trump family isn't they are he she's got a book. they are trying to make a lot of money out of this. he's now selling watches hundred thousand dollars watches. man of the people, you know? he has no he's into crypto. i mean, this is like a massive well, let me ask you about something else. because there were also this week the blunt appeals to
7:23 am
religion. and end specifically to catholic voters and to jewish voters. what do you think that's all about? and do you think it will work? >> i do think actually this is a place where he can make inroads that's especially with catholic voters. abortion as a big issue for them. so, you know, there is a strong strain of sort of very catholic voters and i think with jewish voters as well, israel is also a big issue and they do see the republican party being more pro-israeli on this side. so i, you know, i do think that if he's going to to try something, it's not a bad thing to try. >> no, i think it wasn't an appeal. it was you're in idiot if you don't vote for me, i don't think that's an appealing thing. >> i think you said you'd need to have your head examined like that. you're an idiot if you don't, was also a threat. >> threats said that if i lose the election, we're going to blame the jews, in the before times would have been a big news story, right? >> right. it was outrageous what he said, and i think there are a lot of jews who felt like he didn't say, we're going to blame the jews, but i mean, it certainly, there's certainly
7:24 am
hit was you guys to be a lot of people we're going to think that it's, there's gonna be some blame to go around for jewish voters. >> i am. do you think that's fair? >> there are certainly surveys suggesting that kamala harris is going to win the lowest share of the jewish vote in a generation. and that whether you liked him or not, donald trump is faring very well, particularly with observant jewish voters and with staunchly pro-israel jewish voters. that's one thing when it comes to the catholic vote. when you look to senator kamala harris's record before she was vice president explicitly attacking judicial nominees for having been members on the knights of columbus is something that does not necessarily sit very well with a lot of folks who are observant catholics. so i think that when you look at why trump is saying to appeal to this constituents part of it is actually that this has always been a longstanding constituency for the center right but also the fact that harris and walz are running a campaign that does not seem especially welcoming to faithful catholics and other religious believers. >> well speaking of kamala, how're she spent her week?
7:25 am
focusing on to wishes that trump is winning, not at an included a trip. she hopes will change voters minds. and later, bowling at the box office. the big changes coming mean to your local movie theater news for you is coming to cnn this fall pros and cons less pro hosted by roy wood jr. row with amber ruffin, would likely in black right. so what are the cons we could run out a news by then desperately need this to work out i'm in the middle of a divorce, so i let that to the provide got news for you tonight at nine on cnn and streaming next day on max scratch must not stop the sanity with cortisone ten

7:30 am
hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah in an israeli airstrike on friday night, nasrallah was one of the founders of hezbollah and oversaw its transformation into a power the full paramilitary force in the middle east. now the strike that killed nasrallah happened in a densely populated area and killed at least six people and wounded dozens more in beirut. this is according to lebanese officials in all more than 140 sites were targeted and the idf says those targets concluded weapons, storage facilities production sites and other infrastructure embedded in residential buildings in beirut. there are concerns of course, about a potential response from hezbollah. hezbollah has fired rockets into israel, iran supreme leader says its forces are standing with hezbollah this morning an idf spokesman defended the targeting of nasrallah and claimed israel did not seek a wider conflict
7:31 am
in the region israel does not seek a wider escalation we seek to things to simple things to bring the hostages home for almost a year in hamas captivity. in all means and to make sure it our borders are safe and secure for our citizens cnn international diplomatic editor nic robertson is joining us now, nick. >> first off, you know, the big question is what happens next? from hezbollah, his vantage point from israel's vantage point and also but when it comes to iran and the united states, but let's focus on hezbollah and what it what it can do given that not only was as leader killed, but also its weapons caches, were also targeted at the moment is expecting
7:32 am
hezbollah to respond and respond in a significant way that's why it appears that the idf has announced today for the home front command instructions in the center of israel today, central of israel, that people should not gather outside in numbers greater than 1,000. >> and this is something that will then be reviewed tomorrow. so it does appear as if the idf is assessing that hezbollah will try to strike into the center of israel. now we know in the north the very north is evacuated already cities like haifa, they have already moved hospitals underground schools are closed schools won't be operating that air tomorrow the mayor certainly says that the town is on alert. people at people understand. they have to stay close to their shelters. but in the center of israel, this would be different if it comes under heavy, hezbollah bombardment in a way that it hasn't before this will be something i think knew and that
7:33 am
they think is what hezbollah is going to try to achieve two, to create an effect, a military effect on the population of israel that they haven't witnessed before. and that would be in response to the killing of hassan nasrallah what happens day two, day three, day four after that it's unclear that the idf is saying very clearly to the enemies. in fact, this came a couple of hours ago from the defense minister to our enemies. he said, we are strong and determined that was from the defense minister the prepper the population of israel has been prepared for the potential of hezbollah making a bigger strike in the short term to these areas around tel aviv what does this tell you about the potential intelligence? >> israel must have had given that it knew the precise location, the whereabouts of hassan nasrallah
7:34 am
precise location of whereabouts of so many of the commanders that they targeted in the week leading up to this so it's clearly a lot of intelligence there whether it's from electronic eavesdropping, whether it's from being able to hack into cctv cameras where it can hack into wi-fi and that networks and see who's joining those networks. and an a multitude of sort of technical reasons. and then you go in the sky, of course, when you've got drones, that it can provide a lot of intelligence. there will be micro drones as well, tiny, tiny little drones that will be available as well. but the key perhaps here then human intelligence, this is something that they didn't really have in gaza, an entirely different proposition, but in lebanon it is a big country with a lot of people and much, and therefore much easier to penetrate in terms of human intelligence, whether somebody provides that information because they, because they don't like hezbollah yes affected by them,
7:35 am
they have personal grudge against them, or they simply doing it for financial gain or honey trap, they're being, they're being somehow compromised and forced the provide information. all of those different reasons, but that that very likely will have been there eyes and ears that we'll have told the idf that hassan nasrallah is in that building and albeit he is in a building that has a lot of civilians in it we can say with certainty he is there and this is the, this is the time to target that's, that is quite probably part of the intelligence picture that the idf had. but i think he also after what they've been building this picture for year upon year, upon year. >> yeah given that you our chief diplomatic editor, you've been watching this very closely with the united states being involved trying to broker a ceasefire to no avail between hamas and israel. we know that and yahoo and biden have not
7:36 am
speaking personally, spoken personally in quite some time. we've seen that public rift and the now you have this, it doesn't seem like the u.s. was notified or a signal that this was about to happen. >> what is your take on what the conversations might sound like inside the white house? >> right now. we have yet to hear a comment from the white house on nasrallah's death closely the comments that had been coming out until early this week were the ones that were were calling for diplomacy. so i think when that moment arrives, it's going to be again with a focus on slow this down, stop this limit, this tried to prevent an escalation across the region, trying to prevent greater civilian casualties and suffering, but now is not the right moment for that voice to be heard, not because diplomacy isn't the right way forward, but the language that's being spoken between the israeli
7:37 am
government and hezbollah right now is the language of war. there is no space at the moment for diplomatic words to be heard and to be acted upon. there's no there will be no desire from hezbollah side that this is the moment that they should turn the other cheek certainly what we've heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, he thinks israel is winning. that's what he said at the united nations, at the unga just yesterday, he thinks israel is winning. his tactics are winning, and those tactics are not for diplomacy. that to continue to double down against israel's enemies. so i suspect the conversation is, we know what we'd like to say. a deeply frustrated as we are, we've been frustrated before. but when is the right moment to interject and call for calm? because if you call for calm and there's about to be an explosion of violence that really doesn't benefit you. your voice sounds weak and ineffective and that's really counterproductive also from the
7:38 am
white house, as it could absolutely undermine your credibility? nic robertson really appreciate you joining us this morning and stay on top of this story. thank you very much. and of course, our cnn coverage of breaking news out of the middle east, continues straight ahead. we want to show you a live look at beirut hezbollah confirms the death of their leader, hassan nasrallah. he was killed in an israeli airstrike yesterday. we'll have more after the break over. tim walz and j.d. vance in their first and only face-to-face debate. and cnn has covered with the best political team in the business a cnn special event, the vice presidential debate, tuesday at nine on cnn, she worked her way up summer job at mcdonald's he was born there. >> i'm very rich she fights for you when our middle class is strong america is strong he doesn't bash she has a reason for

weeknights at seven on cnn welcome back, everyone back to the breaking news terrorist leader hassan nasrallah of hezbollah has been killed in an airstrike in beirut. let's get to cnn, national security analyst, peter bergen again. hi there peter. so many questions as to what happens next in terms of hezbollah's capabilities. does this paralyze them in any way? we know at least temporarily it seems i certainly very disruptive given the fact that nauta you had the pagers pagers incidents in the walkie-talkies incidents that killed some of the lower level members, but also you've seen other leaders of hezbollah being killed. >> but i would caution there's a long history of thinking that you kill the leader of a terrorist group, insurgent group, and somehow the threat disappears and hezbollah are after all, is an army of tens of thousands of soldiers has been around for more than four decades. they're going to have
7:44 am
a leadership succession plan. there are a couple of names out there that been suggested as possible. some of and i don't think this is going to going to have any lasting effect on hezbollah had all based on the record of other peter excuse me. >> sorry, i got to jump in there because you want to get to nic robertson, who's standing by with some breaking news. nic, i understand you hearing sirens behind you. can you explain what's going on? >> yeah. so these sirens are in the sort of center and eastern side of tel aviv from what we can tell, they're not the sirens aren't right here, but i can certainly hear them coming from the city direction, hear the sirens have been going for a while. and again, it is uncommon to have sirens it's here in tel aviv, and this is perhaps what the idf have been worried about. and we were talking about this a few minutes ago that has blow would managed to get some missiles fired longer range, enough ballistic missiles, maybe that's what they used earlier in the week, long range enough to reach here towards tel aviv.
7:45 am
now, we haven't heard any impacts here. we haven't heard any intercepts here. but what that may mean is that the missiles were picked up on the tracking system that they were targeting. these areas where the sirens have gone off, but the missiles could have been intercepted a little bit further north from here, which means that would be in this direction. and i'm not seeing signs of intercepts over there right now, but that means that that the sirens could go off here. but the action, if you will, be intercepts, et cetera, could be much further north out of out of our range to hear out of eyesight but why though, why the sirens went off here, we're going to try to find that out quickly. >> nick, if there is an interception from the iron dome, what would you hear and see? >> if it was, the iron dome would probably hear multiple launches you would see the rockets flying up from the iron
7:46 am
dome system. but what we have seen when it has been the ballistic missiles that have been fired by hezbollah over the past few days. it is a weapons defense system called david's it's sling, which is a much more powerful, much faster rocket based missile system that we just heard in the distance and explosion there my colleagues are telling me so the david's sling will shoot down a ballistic missile at a higher altitude and the ballistic missile of course, has a much bigger pen tailored than the smaller missiles that were coming from gaza. that the iron dome intercepts. so that's potentially what we've just heard is an intercept of in the distance here, but it does seem to indicate it does seem to indicate that hezbollah now trying to reach their longer range rockets to, the center of his, into the center part of israel this afternoon. >> all right. >> nic robertson. thank you. and of course, stay in touch and we'll get your up as soon
7:47 am
as anything else happens there in tel aviv or were near, you are peter back to you so what is surprise you? if hezbollah is able to send over missiles, turnaround and sent over missiles over the border this quickly answer is no. i mean, they've got something like 150,000 rockets and missiles they have a deep bench. and so yeah, they, are definitely going to want to respond. i don't want to underplay the fact that the leadership has been decapitated is a problem some of the other leaders have been killed. that's a problem. some of the foot soldiers right, injured or killed in the pager and walkie-talkie attacks we saw some days ago, but that said as well, it's not going to go out of business because of this. and they also have a pretty strong popular movement in lebanon. i mean, they have members of parliament. they are a political party. they are they have the most effective
7:48 am
military force in lebanon is more effective than the lebanese army. and i'm not saying that's highly effective but the point is, is that this will obviously for it's a victory for israel, but it doesn't mean that the fight is over by any means and the united states is often taken out terrorists, leaders in 2006, united states killed the leader of al-qaeda in iraq while that group eventually became isis and took over much of iraq it's a dangerous mistake to think that one kind of strike like this is going to be ultra significant in the long term one big concern is also iran's calculus and what the threshold might be for iran to get directly involved. >> what are your thoughts on that well, the iranians are saying that a senior leader of iranian revolutionary college, it was also killed in this strike so they obviously have a lot of skin in the game. >> they've sent hezbollah hundreds of millions of dollars over the years. they've supported them in other ways. but iran does not want to have a full-scale war with israel or
7:49 am
the united states they have a dilemma which is they they'd like to respond. but how one way that they've responded in the past, the united states killed soleimani, the leader of the rocky revolutionary guards in 2020 under president trump. will their response has been an attempt to kill trump himself. are we know from recent news reports, and also people in his inner circle like john bolton, his former national security advisor, who now has 24-7 secret service protection. so they are going to try and respond, but they probably going to try and responder level below outright warfare because they fear they may either lose or at least be severely damaged. if it comes through a war with israel, which might well draw in the united states peter bergen were to leave the conversation there. thank you so much for your analysis. we just saw nic robertson moments ago as we continue our cnn coverage of breaking news out of the middle east nic robertson reporting, hearing explosions and potentially also, i should say sirens there. it's unclear of

7:54 am
the fastest way to let displaced israeli israeli, and lebanese citizens return to their homes on both sides of the border are, let's turn to cnn's senior white house reporter, kevin liptack. we're hearing there from the defense secretary urging diplomacy. that's obviously falling on has been falling on deaf ears and it begs the question, how much of a difference, does, does biden's urging make with netanyahu doesn't seem like much. i mean, what are you hearing from the white house, anything yet? >> yeah, it's actually interesting. we haven't heard anything from the white house or from the biden administration, at least in any official capacity following the confirmation of nasrallah's death and that in it of itself, i think is fairly telling and it gives you a sense of just how precarious this moment is for president biden for for the united states as they watch this situation unfold. of
7:55 am
course, president biden has said that he is doing everything he can to avoid a wider regional war, to avoid any kind of escalation. and that's one of the reasons that he came out yesterday to say that the us was not involved, that the u.s. didn't have a head it's up that this was happening. and in fact, we had heard from american officials that they only found out about this beirut operation, essentially, when the planes were in the air, when the operation was already underway. of course, president biden had spent the early part of this week trying to broker a ceasefire arrangement between in israel and hezbollah, a 2021 day ceasefire. he had been working alongside the french to urgently put, put out a statement calling for that the u.s top biden administration officials were furious on thursday when prime minister benjamin netanyahu essentially region objected that ceasefire proposal. and of course now we know that this operation would
7:56 am
have been in the planning stages, and now we know that it was carried out and targeting the hezbollah leader. and so now i think the question for the white house and for president biden is what happens next? how does hezbollah respond? and by extension, how does around on respondents certainly they're watching that space very closely. >> do we know kevin if biden and netanyahu have been in contact? when was the last time the two spoke on the phone? >> yeah, it was last month. they haven't spoken for over a month at this point, and i think that probably tells you that president biden doesn't think that he has much to say at this point to the israeli leader. of course, there have been communications at lower levels, including just this past week when top administration officials we're an intensive meetings with ron dermer, who is a close confidant of netanyahu. but in terms of phone calls that the white house has announced that it has read out that hasn't happened since august, and i think that gives you certainly
7:57 am
an impression of where that relationship stands, but also what exactly president biden thinks he can accomplish if he were to speak to netanyahu, which at this point doesn't seem all that much, right? >> kevin liptak, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for coming up for us. thank you for joining me on this very busy breaking news day. we'll have more on the killing of hassan nasrallah. we are back after a quick break is now powered by ameritrade giving traders even more ways to sharpen their skills with tailored education get an expanding library filled with new online videos webcasts, articles, courses, and more all crafted just for traders. and with guided learning paths stacked with content curated to fit your unique goals. you can spend less time searching and more time learning trade brilliantly. was schwab
