loved one have mesothelioma, we'll send you a free book to answer questions. >> you may have. call now and we'll come to you. >> 800 821 4000. this is cnn breaking news we are starting with developments in the middle east. >> right now the israeli security cabinet is weighing a potential cease fire deal with hezbollah. and we are expecting to hear from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at any moment. >> this vote is happening as the fighting intensifies on both sides. israel unleashing a punishing barrage this morning on the greater beirut area, striking with about 20 bombs in just two minutes. cnn's nic robertson is monitoring the situation live in jerusalem for us. nic, a lot of major developments. what more are you hearing? >> yeah. right now the security cabinet is meeting. there are 11 people in that cabinet. it's a simple majority that will carry the vote. the prime minister's office says he is confident. he met with his party members before going into
10:02 am
the cabinet. there are six of them. and the prime minister's office says the prime minister has all their support. that would indicate already he has enough votes to carry this to to agree to the cease fire. the country here is waiting for the prime minister to to speak to the nation through the day. however, the idf has been keeping up a very strong one of its strongest barrages of strikes in many areas in lebanon but in particular the capital, 20 targets struck in the space of 100 and 20s, according to the idf. 180 targets struck throughout the day, and at one point targets struck in the center of beirut, where none have been hit before so really taking this right down to the wire and i have to say, speaking to sources in lebanon absolute laser focused scrutiny on what the israeli
10:03 am
cabinet is going to decide and the belief on their side that once israel goes along with this once the cabinet votes in favor if they do for this ceasefire then hezbollah is going to fall into line pretty quickly nic robertson thank you very much. >> we'll continue to watch this and let's turn now to cnn chief national security correspondent alex marquardt. a lot of pressure, alex here to get this deal done. coming from the u.s., coming from others who are involved here, how was this able to come together? >> this has been something that has been in the works for a very long time. >> there's a senior white house official named amos hochstein who has been leading the charge for the biden administration he's been going back and forth to the region for more than a year between tel aviv and beirut, trying to get this deal done. >> and it has been close for quite some time. the reason that it has not gotten across the finish line before this is because hezbollah has always tied their fight against israel to what's going on in gaza, and since there has been no end
10:04 am
to the war in gaza, they have continued to fight with with israel. israel, of course, at some point in the past few weeks, said, enough is enough. we're going to go in on the ground, we're going to start pummeling them. and that eventually got hezbollah to agree to basically back off and say, okay, no matter what's happening in gaza, even if that war is continuing, we want a ceasefire so i think the big question is why now? because hezbollah has really been decimated. but not completely dismantled. they will survive this. they will be injured. they lost their longtime leader. they've lost the top echelons of the different parts of the the organization. they've lost a huge part of their their their, their arsenal. but they will rebuild. i think certainly israel has bombed hezbollah into submission to a place where they will agree to a ceasefire. if this deal goes through, israel will have achieved its goals in that hezbollah will pull back from the border. they will no longer have a presence there in southern lebanon. hopefully those israeli citizens in the northern part of the country will be able to go back to their homes. israel
10:05 am
is certainly bending to american pressure because there is more that israel could do. back to my point about further dismantling of hezbollah, and that's why we are seeing some anger in israel right now protests as we speak outside the defense ministry, there are a number of israeli cabinet members who don't want this war to end. israeli citizens from the north. according to our jeremy diamond, he's reporting that those civilians don't feel like enough has been done but certainly the prime minister netanyahu has felt that pressure from the biden administration. i think a very important point to make also is that we understand that this is not something that donald trump wants to deal with early on in his administration. so he is content for the biden administration to get this done. and we believe that there certainly netanyahu is feeling that it would be in his interest for his relationship with trump if he were to to get this done now. so everybody has an interest in getting this
10:06 am
cease fire deal done. >> and again, we are set to hear from benjamin netanyahu in just moments we will bring that to you as he speaks. alex marquardt, thank you so much for the update. let's dig deeper now with cnn global affairs analyst, former defense secretary under president trump, mark esper he also serves on the board or as a strategic advisor for a handful of aerospace and defense related companies. secretary, thank you so much for being with us. what do you think would be the practical implications of both sides agreeing to a cease fire at this time? how do you think these sides would use those 60 days? >> sure, boris. >> good afternoon. look, it's a good question go back to why we are in this position. hezbollah has been attacking israel nearly daily since october seventh of last year, shooting and rockets and missiles into northern israel. and that is what has displaced around 70,000 or so israelis from their homes and communities. and so the push has been to get them back to the north get those civilians, get peace, get those civilians back to the
10:07 am
north. so under this deal, they would be able to do that, to return those israelis back to northern israel of course, they were able to do this because they've decimated hezbollah's leadership over the past couple of months they've dismantled a good chunk of their missile and rocket capacity. and so hezbollah is on the ropes now what do they get out of this? why is this happening now? alex talked a little bit about it, but i think it's important to note that after the last conflict a few years ago between israel and and hezbollah hezbollah came out of that losing the support of the lebanese population. and so that's another factor, once again, because now you have one over over 1 million lebanese displaced across the country, and hezbollah cannot afford to lose their support. on the other hand iran fears losing its biggest, most capable or what used to be its most capable proxy in the middle east, hezbollah so they want a ceasefire as well, so that hezbollah can rebuild itself, repair itself and be ready to go at the future sometime. so there's there's benefits from
10:08 am
hezbollah for taking a 60 day cease fire. there's benefits for israel for doing the same. we just got to see how this plays out. the last thing it's important to note that, again, if this cease fire happens today, it expires in 60 days, which is just a few days after president trump will be confirmed once again inaugurated as president of the united states, a significant point there. >> how do you imagine the incoming trump administration might see this deal through if it expires and there are still hostilities between these two sides? >> well, i do think president trump wants to see a reduction in conflict around the world beginning with ukraine and the middle east, as well. but he's going to be a big supporter of the israelis. and i think he rightly recognizes, recognizes at the end of the day, you have to deal with iran and he's already come in, or at least some of his surrogates have talked about returning to a maximum pressure campaign against iran beginning with economic sanctions on their oil exports. and that would have a
10:09 am
debilitating effect on the iranian economy that's already suffering right now. and of course, strategically, iran is very vulnerable after the october strikes by israel, in which they took down iran's air defense system. so iran is in a very vulnerable position right now, and i think it should tread carefully, which is why i'm kind of a little stunned by the recent comments coming out of tehran about a possible counterattack going back to israel's attacks last month yeah, we were still waiting to see what kind of response tehran would have to that i do wonder, as we were watching video, a moment ago of this morning in beirut, what do you think the strategy was behind the idf bombing that area 20 times in a span of two minutes, just before the cabinet, the security cabinet was meeting to vote on this potential ceasefire deal you know, part of that is to punctuate the point that they could continue to and are willing to to devastate israel particularly beirut, as much as they want to. if hezbollah does not sign on to this deal. so that's just
10:10 am
a statement of their commitment, a statement of their capability. but look, boris, the tough thing here is going to be really the enforcement, the implementation of the agreement. if you go back to un, un resolution 1701 that was signed in 2006 after the end of the last major conflict, that's the basis of this current one. but what happened back then? was it was never implemented. hezbollah never withdrew from southern lebanon. israel withdrew from from lebanon. but hezbollah did not. so the key part here if this happens, will be the implementation is will hezbollah stay north of the litani river, about 18 miles north of the israel-lebanon border, and will un peacekeepers and lebanese armed forces be able to keep them out that's why there's been these murmurings of israel wanting to have the right to strike into lebanon. if they see hezbollah returning, which is not an unreasonable request, given what they've experienced. >> and secretary more broadly, do you think that this imminent cease fire deal means anything for a potential ceasefire deal
10:11 am
between israel and hamas well, i think if hamas had any expectation that hezbollah at some point was going to enter the conflict more forcefully to put pressure on israel's northern flank to encourage an agreement in the south in gaza, then i think that's certainly out the window and, of course hamas faces the same challenge that hezbollah does. >> and that is a weakened iran, which is less able to way way its influence, way its, uh, push itself around the around the region. so they're facing that at the same time they've lost a good chunk of their leadership as well so the question will be is what what happens? what's the end state? >> i'm sorry i have to interrupt you because benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, is now addressing the nation let's listen of its goals including until we bring all of the residents of the north home. >> i would like to tell you it will happen exactly as it happened in the south my
10:12 am
friends residents of the north, i'm proud of you i'm proud of your way you stand and i'm responsible to your future, to your recovery, of your settlements. till now, due to the heroics of idf, the police, the shin bet and the mossad, we reached huge achievements in all fronts and of our power and in the middle east first and foremost in iran we destroyed most a lot of their aerial abilities their capability of her missiles and her nuclear program i'm determined to do anything we
10:13 am
need in order to prevent iran from reaching nuclear weapon. this threat is always at the top of my priorities, and moreover, today when you hear the declarations of iran's leaders noted to be equipped with nuclear power removing this threat is the most important task. in order to promise our future we dismantled hamas battalions we destroyed cinia our death and our seniors, and we brought back 194 of our hostages. and we are determined to bring the rest 101 hostages to bring back the torture of their families. and we are assured to complete the destruction of hamas in judea and samaria. we are
10:14 am
killing hundreds of terrorists and infrastructure of terrorists, and we are acting in all fronts of terror in yemen we attacked the houthis something that the international community didn't do in iraq we prevented many attacks of uavs in syria we are breaking the trials. the attempts of arming lebanon from iran and hezbollah assad needs to know that he's playing with fire. and now, in lebanon, hezbollah chose to attack us on the 8th of october. it's been a year. it's no longer the same hezbollah we brought it back dozens of years we destroyed nasrallah the rest
10:15 am
of the senior personnel its missiles and rockets, thousands of terrorists and destroyed the underground infrastructure of terror that's been built there for years. we attacked strategic goals around lebanon and we make dozens of buildings falling in beirut and the ground is trembling there. citizens of israel, three months ago, it would have been sound science fiction, but it isn't. we did it. and i'd like to say to you in any given moment that this war i'm looking at all fronts this is how i acted in the beginning of the war to focus on gaza and not opening a new
10:16 am
front in lebanon. this is how i acted a few months ago, where conditions were ripe to focus on hezbollah. this is how i acted when the iranian missile attack happened, when we chose specifically when to retaliate and how and this is how i act today i look at all fronts and i see the full picture and i'm determined to give our soldiers our heroic soldiers all measurements all measures to save their lives and bring back victory this is why i will bring an agreement for the cabinet. the duration of it will depend on what happens in lebanon we keep a whole freedom for
10:17 am
military freedom. and if hezbollah will rearm itself, we will attack and if if we'll if we'll fire missiles, if we put trucks with missiles we will attack. and i know it's been said that once we agree on a ceasefire, we won't be able to do it. but i remind you, this is exactly what we've been told. when we have a ceasefire with gaza in order to bring back hostages, our hostages, they said we will not be back fighting and we did big time they tell me hezbollah will keep quiet for a year or two, and then they will attack but hezbollah will finish the ceasefire in order to shoot at us in the future. and we will react for any such
10:18 am
thing i know that many do not believe we will do it, but many didn't believe we will go on the ground in gaza and shifa and khan younis and we did and in front of all the international pressure to enter rafah, rafah in philadelphia, axis not only we entered we attacked and many didn't believe. we attack in lebanon and we attacked there as well in huge power and sophistication that the world that surprised the world. and after all of that, maybe it's better to believe in our way, in our determination and our commitment to victory. so why doing ceasefire now there are three main reasons first, focusing on the iranian threat
10:19 am
and i will not expand on that to refreshing the military forces and our equipment. and i'm telling you that it's not a secret there's been delays in bringing more weapons and arms and this delay will finish soon. we will have advanced weaponry that will give us more power to finish our goals. and the third reason for ceasefire detaching the front of the war from hamas from the second war that hamas pressured hezbollah to act with him and now hezbollah is no longer and it will help us with
10:20 am
the task of bringing our hostages back we were attacked in seven fronts, and we retaliated. we are changing the face of the middle east all of this we are doing due to our heroic soldiers and your stand and managing this war mindfully i said many times a good agreement is such that you can you can make make it a reality. and with god's help, we will make the north flourish again until the victory all right. >> we're hearing there from ben, from prime minister we're
10:21 am
hearing there from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he started by reviewing some of the achievements of israel when it comes to the war in gaza, dismantling hamas battalions. he said, and also taking out yahya sinwar. and then with hezbollah, taking out hassan nasrallah and bringing back hezbollah, he said dozens of years destroying their missiles underground infrastructure of terror. and then he made the case for why they're agreeing to a cease fire. really to, he said, focus on the iranian threat. and i will not expand on that. but really to focus as well on the war in gaza and dismantling hamas now, earlier in his remarks, he did sort of expand on the iranian threat saying that he would do anything necessary to keep iran from getting a nuclear weapon. >> he said that is the most important task for the promise of israel's future. he he also said something notable talking about his eyes being on all fronts at all times since
10:22 am
october 7th, he not only listed lebanon, but also yemen syria, iraq and again, iran. and talking about the achievements that israel has made on multiple fronts. he also made clear that if hezbollah restarts hostilities, that israel would be prepared, saying, we will attack he said that he's been told that hezbollah is simply going to bide time to attack in the future. and he said we will respond this as we're learning that the israeli security cabinet has approved that ceasefire deal in lebanon let's get some perspective now. alex marquardt is still with us. alex, what did you make of his remarks that we should note ended very abruptly? >> yeah, i think the sort of conditionality of this deal was quite interesting he's obviously facing a fair amount of criticism from inside his cabinet, from inside his own population, about agreeing to this, despite the fact that hezbollah has not been completely dismantled. that's why he's emphasizing the damage that they did inflict on hezbollah and he's making it clear that the duration, as he said, of this deal depends on
10:23 am
what happens. and is contingent upon israeli military freedom guys, this deal that will be going into place is basically premised on what is known as un resolution 1701, which is hezbollah pulling back and not being able to be close to that border with with israel. what is different here is israel is demanding a lot more freedom of movement of of military movement. uh primarily in the sky so overflights, surveillance and the ability to take out hezbollah targets if they deem necessary long before this war started, you would see israeli strikes in syria, for example. we never saw them in lebanon. that could change if they if they see as netanyahu just said, that hezbollah is moving back towards the south, is bringing more weaponry in from various borders or in from the water, for example i expect that we will start to see more often those israeli strikes, not just in a country like
10:24 am
syria, but inside the lebanese border so he's trying to comfort his population and saying, yes, we're agreeing to this deal for the reasons that he laid out but fear not, we will continue to respond if need be. and we're just learning that president biden will be speaking in the rose garden here in the next hour at 2:30 p.m.. >> is the expected time eastern what do you expect to hear from him as he talks about this deal that has been struck? >> i think he is going to hail this as a triumph of u.s. diplomacy that american diplomats have been working on this for a long time, and they have finally succeeded it wasn't too long ago that i was speaking to the both of you. just a couple of weeks ago, at the end of september, when the white house had also come out, then saying israel and hezbollah have agreed to a 21 day truce, and then immediately israel said, whoa whoa, whoa, we're not agreeing to anything. and there was a lot of egg on their on the u.s .'s face. there was a lot of embarrassment, a lot of
10:25 am
frustration with israel. now it does does appear that this this deal is in place one thing i would say is that yes while american diplomacy has worked here in bringing the two sides together, the french also playing a role with hezbollah because the u.s. does not speak directly with hezbollah um, it is not a guarantee that we had to be here in the first place. um the the deal was largely in place before this war started, and i think that if you had seen an end to the war in gaza, that we probably would not have seen a war in lebanon that the that one was sort of contingent on the other. and the u.s. was, frankly unable to get the war in gaza to end. israel has long considered those two issues to be separate and because they wanted to continue the war in gaza and end the rockets coming from the north, they decided to go to go in. so it is we are seeing a us diplomatic solution
10:26 am
driven by the white house. but at the same time it's not clear that this had to happen in the first place. >> yeah, it was months ago that we heard that this potential cease fire deal between hamas and israel was on the one yard line or the ten yard line. i think it was never quite crossed over. alex thank you so much for that reporting. we have plenty of news still to come on cnn news central, including the holiday travel rush it is on a record number of travelers expected to hit the roads and skies for thanksgiving, but stormy weather could complicate things. we're following the latest, plus more on those punishing tariffs on day one. >> president-elect trump vowing massive hikes on goods from mexico, canada and china that could sharply increase costs for americans. we'll be digging into the numbers and a family tragedy gets worse two weeks after a hawaii woman goes missing, her father is found dead. what investigators are saying on cnn cnn heroes, an all star tribute meet and celebrate the honorees. >> then find out who will be

( 800) 521-2245. now that's ( 800) 521-2245. >> i'm hanako montgomery in tokyo and this is cnn president-elect trump is igniting fears of a trade war by vowing to slap a huge 25% tariff on all goods coming from mexico and canada. >> and also boosting tariffs on chinese products by 10%. trump announced his plan on social media he says it's in retaliation for illegal immigration and illicit drugs coming across the border, and that he's going to begin this first day in office. as you might imagine already, the response has been swift. >> chinese embassy spokesperson telling cnn, quote no one will win a trade war or a tariff war, while mexico's president says that neither threats nor tariffs will solve the issue of migration and drug consumption, and many economists are warning that massive taxes could wreak havoc on america's supply chain
10:32 am
and raise prices on everyday goods. cnn's matt egan joins us now live. matt, a lot of numbers there. but for the average american shopper, the cost of tariffs is ultimately passed on to them. >> that's right, boris and brianna. look, this certainly looks like the opening salvo of the next trump trade war. and i think the big question here is whether or not it's going to undermine another war. the war on inflation. and it's just too early to say. right. because there's so many unknowns. i mean, will trump actually go forward and impose these tariffs or will he reach some sort of agreement that allows him to back down if he does impose the tariffs, how long do they stay in place and how do businesses react? we know in the past they have passed along costs to consumers. but it's unclear whether or not they're definitely going to do the same thing. now. i think at a minimum, it's safe to say that these threatened tariffs they have the potential to cause chaos for businesses to invite retaliation from our trading
10:33 am
partners, and yes, to raise costs for consumers. and remember what trump is threatening to do here is much bigger in scale than what he did during the first term. these are massive tariffs across the board they are not targeted or surgical. let's just look at canada. i mean, the u.s. imported over $400 billion of goods from canada last year alone. everything from minerals, cement wood, paper goods and oil. that's why gasbuddy's patrick de haan told cnn's jim acosta earlier today that if these tariffs go into place, they could cause gas prices in certain areas in the rockies and midwest to go up by $0.25 to $0.75 a gallon, that would certainly be inflationary. and we know americans are fed up with high prices at the grocery store. but we rely on mexico to get agricultural products including 89% of the avocados that are imported into the u.s. they come from mexico 91% of the tomatoes. so, of course tariff hikes would increase those food
10:34 am
costs. and look, i think that all of this shows that trump really means business when it comes to tariffs. as one analyst put it this morning, trump 2.0 is all gas no brakes. and despite all the focus on his cabinet picks at the end of the day, he's the one calling the shots on tariffs yeah we know what happens to a car that is all gas and no brakes though. >> so what are businesses and companies doing to prepare right now for these tariffs. >> well they're already scrambling to figure out how to avoid these tariffs. you've got to believe they're blowing up the phones of their lawyers. and lobbyists in washington, d.c.. and some of them are warning that, yes consumers are going to pay higher prices just one example. we're already hearing from the sneaker industry the trade group that represents under armor nike and dsw they put out a statement warning that these tariffs would quote directly increase costs for retailers and consumers, leading to higher prices on everyday essentials like shoes that, of course, is the opposite of what the
10:35 am
president elect has argued, where he said that this won't be inflationary. the industry is saying it will be. remember, these are taxes on imports. and so u.s. companies, they pay that tax to the treasury. and then they've got to decide, do they eat the cost. it's going to hurt their profits. or are they going to pass the cost along to consumers by raising prices. and we've heard from a number of companies, including walmart target and others in recent days saying that, yes, they will lift prices. we're also seeing an impact in the stock market. what's interesting is some shares of auto companies including general motors ford and chrysler owner stellantis, are all down. look at that. gm down more than 8%. and that's because there are these concerns that trump's tariffs could mess up their delicate supply chains. he's trying to protect american car workers. but these cars are really made with parts that are made all across north america and so there is a risk that if the tariffs go into place, they
10:36 am
will increase car prices as well. and brianna, yeah, even if it's just a negotiating tactic and setting a difficult standard potentially for these other nations to meet, it's already having worldwide impacts, at least here in the united states on the stock market. >> matt egan thank you so much for the reporting. appreciate it. thank you. still ahead, the tsa is bracing for record travel and what's expected to be the busiest thanksgiving ever. what you need to know when we come back emergency crystals pop and fizz when you throw them back and who doesn't love a good throwback now, with vitamin d for the dark days of winter from tried and true to try something new so many ways to save life ready? >> wallet. >> happy. that's 365 by whole foods market. >> when a tough cough finds you

getting people through the tsa checkpoint if you have pre-check is about ten minutes. if you don't have pre-check, it's about 30 minutes. but things he says may be so busy that in some cases airports will simply be too slammed. this is what he told me what oftentimes happens in some airports is you're just at capacity. >> in other words, you can't add any more lanes. that's physically no more lanes can be put in a checkpoint and you can't. you can only put a certain number of people in the checkpoint operation itself. and so there are there are going to be days where we are just at full capacity. and that might cause some of those wait time standards to be exceeded thank you for your cooperation the faa says there may be some staffing issues with air traffic control, as well as putting out that warning. >> it also says that there could be ground stops and ground delay programs put into place at a major airports across the country. today in san francisco in boston, in las vegas and at the big three new york area airports newark, jfk and laguardia. the good news here is that the tsa is getting

now, dad, i am absolutely devastated that you left us so soon. but i know it was because of a broken heart and the family would like to emphasize that they want to keep the focus on finding hannah and no one has heard from her in nearly two weeks since november 11th. and just to remind folks what happened here, she was on a flight from hawaii to los angeles. she arrived at lax and was supposed to continue on to new york, but she never made that connecting flight and so she did keep in communication with some family and friends and the couple of days after that told them that she did not go to new york and let's show you some of the messages that she texted one friend saying, deep hackers wiped my identity, stole all of my funds, and have had me on a mind f since friday. i got tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds for someone i thought i loved. so you can imagine that's very distressing for her family and friends to hear that she was spotted at the grove, which is a popular outdoor

10:56 am
medicare and medicaid potentially dropping out of pocket costs for popular medications like wegovy and zeppelin by as much as 95%. >> one significant unanswered question whether the incoming trump administration will endorse this new plan. cnn health reporter jacqueline howard joins us now. jacqueline, tell us about this new proposal. >> boris and brianna this proposal would require medicare and medicaid to cover weight loss medications like outbound like wegovy for all patients with obesity and this is different than what is the current approach where medicare by law is not allowed to cover drugs for weight loss. so this would reinterpret the statute to allow coverage for the treatment of obesity, treating it as a chronic disease. and we know that these medications are so expensive they can cost about $1,000 a month. so that's why expanding access appears to be a priority for the biden administration. but
10:57 am
like you said boris, we don't know if this proposal will be finalized. we're hearing there's not enough time to make this final before biden leaves office. so it would kind of roll over for consideration under the trump administration and it's not clear whether the next administration will, in fact, finalize this proposal. so we'll have to wait to see what exactly happens next and jacqueline, how many people could this potentially impact? well, it's estimated that this could make medications available to an estimated 3.4 million people with medicare an estimated 4 million medicaid enrollees. so this could potentially help more than 7 million people out there. and we know that obesity has been an ongoing public health concern. it impacts about 40% of all adults in the united states. so this is a big, big deal and big area to watch. >> all right, jacqueline howard, thank you so much.
