12:01 pm
canada and china that could sharply increase costs for americans and buckle up. >> americans are traveling this thanksgiving week in record numbers, and they're heading out as storms are threatening to cause significant delays. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central we have breaking news at this hour after months of anticipation, finally a cease fire between israel and hezbollah. >> we are waiting to hear from president biden, who is expected to speak at any moment live from the white house. rose garden. >> the israeli security council approving the cease fire deal earlier this afternoon, pausing the bloodshed after months of intense fighting across lebanon. let's go to cnn international diplomatic editor nic robertson, who is live in jerusalem, tracking all of the latest developments. nic, tell us more about this deal. >> well, number one, it's huge.
12:02 pm
>> the implications are big for israel they're big for lebanon. this war between the two countries or between israel and hezbollah has been going on for more than 13 months since hamas's brutal attack on october the 7th. but it really spiked in september when israel upped the ante and decided to take the fight to hezbollah prime minister benjamin netanyahu is claiming it a victory, pointing out just how much they've decimated hezbollah, including killing its iconic charismatic leader hassan nasrallah, but is also saying very clearly, if hezbollah violates the terms of this cease fire, then israel will strike back quite how and what the mechanism is for israel striking back is not entirely clear at this time. what is clear 60 day ceasefire hezbollah pulls back about 30 miles north of the israeli border, north of the litani river. the idf pulled their troops back into israel. the un and the lebanese army go in to
12:03 pm
fill that sort of military vacuum and the prime minister saying that now he can focus on iran as being the next big threat, that he can allow the troops time to recuperate and resupply. and he said one of the reasons he was able to do this right now was because hezbollah had separated its war from its stated aim of supporting hamas's war in gaza. that incidentally, is something that hamas, that hezbollah has actually said, a decision they'd taken prior to the escalation by israel back in september and right up until this security cabinet was meeting to vote on this deal, there was still exchanges between israel and hezbollah. >> notably, some 20 strikes in the area of beirut. this morning. what is the situation
12:04 pm
now now, the strikes for all intents and purposes, have ended. >> we haven't heard of any more taking place. we know that in the north of israel, in nahariya, where our colleague jeremy diamond is down to the wire, there down to the moment of the ceasefire, there were incoming missiles. hezbollah missiles incoming there the level of strikes and intensity of strikes that israel took to hezbollah today was significant. they said at one point this afternoon, 20 strikes in just two minutes. they targeted financial institutions that the idf said was funneling iranian money to to hezbollah. even striking in areas right in the center of downtown beirut. we've talked about this in recent days, but the strikes today were even more in the center of beirut in places that hadn't been targeted even during the 2006 war. so both sides really
12:05 pm
intensifying the fight right to the last minute nic robertson, thank you very much for that. >> let's bring in now, barak ravid. he is a cnn political and foreign policy analyst, also a global affairs correspondent for axios and i just wonder, barack, if you can talk to us a little bit about how netanyahu sees this moment because it was noteworthy as he spoke to his nation and the world. he was emphasizing the strides that israel has made in the war in gaza and also in lebanon and he seemed to also be emphasizing the iran threat. how is he seeing this moment as he took this audience well, first, just a small technical correction. >> the israeli security cabinet still hasn't approved the deal um, the cabinet is still sitting. and i'm telling you from a source there just like 30s ago that the vote hasn't taken place yet. so this is why president biden still hasn't
12:06 pm
spoken. the meeting is still ongoing. i think it's a matter of minutes until they will approve it. but, you know, technically they haven't. um, for netanyahu, this is a significant moment because his base, his political base is against this deal and to be honest, there are two main reasons i think that he decided to go for this deal. one of them, he talked about in his speech earlier tonight is that the idf is exhausted. okay that's the honest truth. and the idf asked for this ceasefire. a because they think they managed to achieve all of their goals in lebanon. and second, because they need a break. that's the honest truth and the second thing is because uh netanyahu looks at president trump, president-elect trump, and he knows that he wants this deal. and he knows that if he doesn't take the deal now, he might get to january 20th with
12:07 pm
a war in lebanon something donald trump does not want that perspective is fascinating what is it about the relationship between trump and netanyahu that has shaped this decision by the israeli prime minister? >> what is his outlook for the region moving forward? because, notably in his speech, even though he said at one point that he wasn't going to expand on his thinking on iran he did say that he would do anything to prevent tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon give us that perspective of how he sees the relationship with trump moving forward in the context of iran so i think that netanyahu's relationship with donald trump, uh, and we know that, um are not great okay. >> they ended in the previous term. it ended very badly. and donald trump hasn't fundamentally changed his mind about netanyahu. they managed to bury the hatchet during the campaign because it suited both of them politically but
12:08 pm
netanyahu is very careful with donald trump, and he doesn't want to start on a on a, you know, to start with the crisis. he wants to try and you know decrease as much as possible. the friction points with donald trump ahead of january 20th. uh part of this is, as you said in order to try and get trump to focus more on iran. and i think in order to do that, he needs to take the lebanon issue off the table. and this is why he's pushing for this ceasefire deal. >> and what does this mean barack, for getting folks back home? we have to remember how many people are displaced, what this would mean for the long term and how important that is politically well, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the border that have been displaced over the last year of war between israel and hezbollah, which started, by the way, on october 8th, when hezbollah
12:09 pm
decided to join hamas um, and send an israel, then pulled out tens of thousands of its civilians, fearing a hezbollah invasion like the hamas invasion on october 7th. >> and when israel started retaliating then lebanese civilians started leaving southern lebanon. and i think that it in any case, even though there will be a ceasefire tomorrow morning, it will take a few weeks, maybe a few months until all those civilians will go back to their homes, mainly because on both sides of the border, i think people want to see that this thing holds and it will take a few weeks or again maybe a few months until they all go back. and on the other hand on both sides of the border the houses are have been destroyed. so even people who want to go back might not have a place to go back to. so the rehabilitation and reconstruction of those two areas will take a long time.
12:10 pm
>> yeah it is going to be a fascinating process to watch. barak ravid, thank you so much for giving us that breaking news that the israeli security cabinet is still working out on approving this cease fire deal. hopefully, we'll hear from president biden soon after. appreciate your reporting barack. still, to come, president-elect donald trump pledging tariffs on the country's three largest trading partners. the day he is inaugurated. we're going to tell you what could get more expensive. >> plus, trump's incoming border czar is in texas. he's visiting one key area for illegal crossings how the state could provide the trump administration a blueprint to tackle border security. and later, retailers are bracing for record spending this holiday season. but you might not see as many sales and deals as you usually do. we'll have that and much more coming up on cnn news central watch cnn's coverage of thanksgiving parades around the country with special appearances by chef bobby flay, t.i.

12:15 pm
what's next. >> hats off to the future. >> nothing runs like a deer. >> i'm rahel solomon in new york and this is cnn donald trump's incoming border czar visiting the southern border, getting a firsthand look at one of the main focal points for illegal border crossings in eagle pass, texas. >> tom homan spoke with texas national guard and public safety troops and toured alongside governor greg abbott and other state officials. this marks a significant shift in the level of cooperation expected between texas and federal officials. cnn's priscilla alvarez is live for us at the white house. and priscilla, this this shows the stark pivot happening, even before donald trump returns to the white house. >> the stark pivot. but also an indicator of what the trump white house relationship is going to be with the state of texas. as well as those states that cooperate the way that
12:16 pm
they want them to. and what i mean by that is by talking with sources. they tell me that trump's team wants to see the type of cooperation along the u.s. southern border with texas and the types of operations that the state has done for example, using their state resources to assist along the border in the incoming administration. now just to provide some context here, it's not unusual for states to help federal agents along the u.s. mexico border. of course, their authorities are limited. but what this has been is something much further. of course, this has been operation lone star. texas governor launched that in 2021 as an affront to the biden administration. it included, for example bussing migrants to democratic led cities blocking off a portion of the border to federal agents and putting up those buoys along the rio grande that led to lawsuits from the justice department. but it also fed into the tension and the feud between the biden white house and
12:17 pm
texas. but now that's all going to change under president. well under president donald trump, that is going to be in a relationship that is leaned on to try to do the mass deportation pledge that trump has repeatedly talked about tom homan clearly there alongside abbott, he's going to be the incoming border czar. but i'm also told by sources that texas border czar michael banks is also being considered to lead u.s. customs and border protection so just these personnel moves alone tell you just how close this relationship is expected to be, which is a pivot from where it has been over the last three years. now, of course, this may run into some controversy. of course, we have seen that in states before where resources have been ushered in to help with border security, because it may take away from other priorities in the state. but certainly the sources that i have talked to say that part of the plan for the incoming trump administration is to do a lot more of that to free up federal
12:18 pm
personnel so that they can work on interior enforcement. so tom homan being along the texas-mexico border today is telling of course, he's the incoming border czar. he will be at the white house in the coming year. so certainly, this is giving us a roadmap into how they plan to work together with texas in the next year and in the years to come. and, of course, sources tell me that they are looking at everything. they're doing as that blueprint to then also request the same from other states along the border. boris brianna, priscilla alvarez at the white house, thank you for the report. >> and you know, you could end up paying a lot more for all kinds of things. cars gas, produce, what you put on your table. if president-elect trump follows through on his promise to slap tariffs on imported goods. trump announced his new plan on social media, vowing to charge mexico and canada a huge 25% tariff on all products and also threatening to raise tariffs on china by another 10%. >> trump says the goal is to
12:19 pm
force action on illegal immigration and stop the flow of crime and drugs into the u.s. and he says this will begin on his first day back in office. cnn's matt egan is here to break this all down. and the implications, too. matt, what does this mean for folks at home and how is this going to impact everyone's wallets? >> well, boris and brianna tariff man is back and as promised, the sequel could be even bigger than the original. trump has held up tariffs as a sort of magical negotiating tool that can be used to solve almost any problem, and he's been willing to threaten to impose them against friends and foe alike. i think the trillion dollar question, though, is whether or not this looming trade war could undermine the war on inflation. and i think the truth is it's just too early to say because there's so many unknowns at this point. i mean, will trump actually impose these tariffs or will he back down if he gets some
12:20 pm
concessions? if he does impose them, how long will they be in place for days, weeks, months years? and then how do businesses react? do they pass along the cost to consumers? that's what they've done in the past. and there's no reason to think they'd do it differently but the answer to those questions is going to go a long way here. i think at a minimum, we can say that the threatened tariffs, they have the potential to cause chaos for businesses invite retaliation from other countries, and yes, raise prices for consumers. and it's really important to stress that what trump is proposing is much bigger in size and scope than what he did during the first term. these are not targeted tariffs. these would be sweeping across the board tariffs just look at canada. i mean the u.s. imports hundreds it was almost $400 billion of goods last year alone from canada, including minerals, cement wood and oil oil that's used to make gasoline. that's why gasbuddy has warned that if these tariffs go into place drivers in the midwest and the rockies, they could see gas prices go up
12:21 pm
by $0.25 to $0.75 a gallon. that would be inflationary. we know americans are fed up with high grocery prices, but we import significant amounts of food from mexico, including 89% of the avocados that are imported into the u.s. they come from mexico 91% of tomatoes. so you can see prices for food go even higher. one last point here is it is a very indifferent. it is a very different environment from when trump imposed tariffs during the first administration. right. inflation is not back to normal yet. and he's not just promising big tariffs. he's promising sweeping deportations which of course could also be inflationary. boris and brianna sometimes the sequel is bad though matt. >> i'm thinking teen wolf two. >> i'm thinking teen wolf two. >> yeah, i am boris. i went there godfather part three do not. >> don't argue godfather two was better than the first one. >> three. three was not three. i'm just saying i'm just saying so i mean, matt, what are businesses and companies doing to get ahead of these
12:22 pm
proposed tariffs in case the sequel is worse for them than the original? >> well, on sequels, my four year old would argue that home alone two was almost as good as home alone one, so there's that. but look, businesses are scrambling. they're scrambling to get out of the way of these tariffs. i think it's a great time to be a lawyer or a lobbyist who advises corporations on trade issues right now. and we are hearing from some companies who are warning that, yes, they're going to raise prices. i mean, just today the footwear industry pleaded with the president elect to rethink these tariffs warning that even though he says the prices won't go up, they will. the trade group that represents nike, crocs and others said that these tariffs would directly increase costs for retailers and consumers leading to higher prices on everyday essentials like shoes. because remember these these tariffs, they're basically taxes on imports. and so u.s. companies they pay the tariff to treasury. and then they have to decide do they eat the cost of the tariff or do they pass
12:23 pm
along the cost to consumers. and more often than not they they pass along the cost. we've already heard for target, walmart a number of different retailers autozone, columbia sportswear, they've all said that tariffs could raise prices. so listen this is going to be an ongoing story for the next weeks and months to come. as we all try to make sense of these tariff threats all right, matt egan, thank you so much. >> we do appreciate the report. and for more on trump's pledge to implement his tariffs plan, let's talk with democratic congressman gerry connolly of virginia. congressman, thank you so much for being with us. your reaction to. yeah, thanks for being on. and just what's your reaction to these tariffs that trump is proposing you know the imposition of tariffs is a very crude weapon. >> it's not sophisticated. and as your report indicated neither is it targeted. what donald trump is proposing as the alpha disrupter is to disrupt the largest trade
12:24 pm
market in the world. remember that just these three countries, every year traverse $1.5 trillion worth of goods and services. it's an integrated economy and there is no question that, first of all, he's going to violate his own treaty. well, he he renegotiated nafta and called his renegotiation the greatest trade agreement in the history of the world. he is now going to abrogate that treaty on day one with 25% tariffs on canada and mexico, the threat of retaliation is real i can't imagine the newly installed mexican president or the much buffeted premier of canada stepping aside and acting like, well, it's the american prerogative and so we're in for serious tariff wars and it will add it absolutely will add to the cost of goods and services
12:25 pm
here in america. it is estimated that the average family will pay $1,000 a year more than they're paying now, if he imposes these tariffs on january 20th. >> well, i mean, that's the thing. the well known secret about much of the food on our table, especially in the u.s., is that it's brought to us by undocumented labor. the majority of workers in the meatpacking industry are undocumented. i think almost half of farm workers are. do you think that we're looking at deportations that will affect that labor force, coupled with a labor supply that could be cut off by stricter measures at the border coupled with the food costs being affected by these tariffs i do. >> look, all of us want a secure border and all of us want the ideal that people who want to come to the united states do. so legally. there's no disagreement about that. however we need farm workers.
12:26 pm
we need auto workers. we? we are seeing our labor force under a lot of constraint, because we're not growing as a population. the only way america grows is with immigration. and so when you threaten mass deportation, millions of people in concentration camps apparently who would then be deported somewhere, you are injecting a real chilling effect on people to come to america, whose labor we need, whose energy we need, whose contributions to our social safety net we need and so this is going to be a balancing act. and crude weapons like tariffs and threats of mass deportation. i feel are going to be counterproductive. >> if i can play devil's advocate too, though i mean, some of this is about this is about immigration. this is about fentanyl. that's what he's saying. this is about drugs coming over the border, precursor chemicals coming over the border. we know that china
12:27 pm
recently started cooperating with the u.s. a bit on that. and that came after biden met with xi, a little bit of soft power there. this is clearly a hard power tack that trump is taking. but do you think that china could do more to cooperate? do you think that trump taking this stance, might actually work to kind of rattle china it's hard to predict china is the world's second largest economy, and soon probably going to eclipse us as number one. >> uh we depend on chinese imports for all kinds of things here in the united states, consumer goods and technology. and so protecting our markets makes sense up to a point. but if you get into a for tat, china is not some small banana republic. um, and if xi jinping decides to retaliate with the threat of tariffs our economy
12:28 pm
is going to suffer and so as i go back to what i said originally tariffs are crude weapons. they're not very effective. the threat of them might be and we'll see. but i think donald trump is really playing russian roulette here with the us economy. >> and congress. i wanted to end congressman. i wanted to end on a personal note because i as so many people saw that you are battling you are a fighter for sure, but you're battling esophageal cancer. you just came out publicly and told folks about this a few weeks ago. i was saddened to see that, and i was wondering how you're doing and what you want people to know um, i'm doing okay. >> um, the treatment is rough. um but it means that it's getting at the cancer. uh we feel that, uh, a couple more treatments we're going to see either remission or the disappearance of cancer cells
12:29 pm
entirely. the outpouring of support, brianna, including yours has been phenomenal. and i might say, i've heard from almost as many republican colleagues in congress as i have democrats it's been heartwarming it is an example. i think of the fact that we are a human institution and we can rise above our political differences when there's a member in need. i am blessed with a wonderful family. i'm blessed with wonderful constituents, and we're going to see this through and beat it we hope so, sir we know so you are a fighter and it's great to hear that your colleagues across the aisle are touching base with you. >> that's wonderful. congressman gerry connolly, thank you, thank you, thank you brianna. and just ahead thanksgiving travel is expected to set a new record. you're looking at live pictures here of washington-reagan airport. we are going to be seeing 18 million people traveling by plane at reagan. and other

than 18 million people taking to the skies. >> and on top of that, another 71 million expected to gas up and drive to their thanksgiving location. but be warned, a mix of wintry weather and ongoing air traffic controller shortages is threatening to disrupt some of those travel plans. cnn's pete muntean joins us now live from d.c.. a the mayor, the unofficial mayor, we should say, of d'sean perry pete set the stage for what travelers can expect this weekend. and perhaps the most important thing that they should be packing their patience, of course, because you know, so far, so smooth here at dca, the terminal two north checkpoint rush is building a little bit. >> the current wait times right now between 8 and 11 minutes, according to the live tracker here for standard screening, about five minutes to get through precheck. >> tsa says it's anticipating about 2.8 million people at airports nationwide today, and even bigger number tomorrow. >> about 2.9 million people. >> tsa getting pretty good at
12:36 pm
making these predictions because the top ten days in tsa history for air travel numbers have been in 2020 for the really interesting thing here is, according to tsa administrator david pokrovsk. he tells me that some airports might be so slammed that they may not be able to keep the standard wait time promise for standard screening. that's about 30 minutes or less for precheck that's about ten minutes or less. of course a lot of people are driving. it's really more of a driving holiday. triple a says 80 million people in total will travel 50 miles or more, 70 million of them will drive. and i want you to listen now to triple a's diaz. she says the really interesting thing now is triple a is considering this a seven day rush. it used to be a five day rush because a lot more people now can work from home or in some cases on the road. i want to tell you about the best and worst times to travel as well. the best time, according to triple a, is to wait until after 7 p.m.
12:37 pm

12:39 pm
just spoke with the prime minister of israel and lebanon. >> i'm pleased to announce that their governments have accepted the united states proposal to end the devastating conflict between israel and hezbollah. >> i want to thank president macron of france for his partnership in reaching this moment for nearly 14 months, a deadly conflict raged across the border that separates israel and lebanon. the conflict that began the day after the october 7th attack by hamas and israel. hours later, at 2 a.m. in the morning hezbollah and other terrorist organizations backed by iran attacked israel in support of hamas. let's be clear israel did not launch this war. the lebanese people did not seek that war either. nor did the united states. over the past year including in the days immediately following october, the seventh, i directed the
12:40 pm
u.s. military to flow assets and capabilities into the region including aircraft carriers, fighter squadron that will look great for years to come. >> plus, they're built to last with a lifetime warranty from an iconic brand you know you can trust it was done in the same day. >> we did not have to wait. >> it's absolutely perfect. it's exactly what i was dreaming of. >> if you haven't already experienced what jacuzzi bath remodel can do for you, your family and your home, don't wait any longer. now is the best time to call. it's never been easier. take advantage of this special tv offer today. >> call or go online right now for a limited time offer. only weeks left to get waived, installation and no interest and no payments for up to one year. go to jacuzzi bath, remodel. com or call ( 800) 207-9371. that's 802 079371. call now.
12:41 pm
>> and israel has destroyed hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure in southern lebanon as well, including miles of sophisticated tunnels which were prepared for an october seven style terrorist attack in northern israel. but lasting security for the people of israel and lebanon cannot be achieved only on the battlefield. and that's why i directed my team to work with the governments of israel and lebanon to forge a cease fire to bring the conflict between israel and hezbollah to a close under the deal reached today, effective at 4 a.m. tomorrow, local time the fighting across the lebanese-israeli border will end. we'll end. this is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities what is left of hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed. while i
12:42 pm
emphasize will not be allowed to threaten the security of israel again over the next 60 days, the lebanese army and state security forces will deploy and take control of their own territory once again hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in southern lebanon will not be allowed to be rebuilt. and over the next 60 days, israel will gradually withdraw its remaining forces and civilians civilians on both sides will soon be able to safely return to their communities and begin to rebuild their homes. their schools, their farms, their businesses, and their very lives. we are determined that this conflict will not be just another cycle of violence. and so the united states, with the full support of france and our other allies, has pledged to work with israel and lebanon to ensure that these this this arrangement is fully implemented. the agreement totally implemented. you know, there will be no u.s. troops deployed in southern lebanon.
12:43 pm
this is consistent with my commitment to the american people to not put u.s. troops in combat in this conflict. instead, we along with france and others, will provide the necessary assistance to make sure this deal is implemented fully and effectively. let me be clear if hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to israel, then israel retains the right to self-defense. consistent with international law. just like any country, when facing a terrorist group, pledge to that country's destruction. at the same time, this deal supports lebanon's sovereignty. and so it heralds a new start for lebanon, a country that i've seen most of over the years, a country with a rich history and culture. if fully implemented, this deal can put lebanon on a path toward a future that's worthy of its significant past and just as the lebanese people
12:44 pm
deserve a future of security and prosperity, so do the people of gaza. they too deserve an end to the fighting and displacement. the people of gaza have been through hell. their word, their worlds. absolutely shattered. far too many civilians in gaza have suffered far too much. and hamas has refused for months. and months to negotiate a good faith, cease fire and a hostage deal. and so now hamas has a choice to make. the only way out is to release the hostages including american citizens, which they hold. and in the process, bring an end to the fighting, which would make possible a surge of humanitarian relief over the coming days. the united states will make another push with turkey, egypt, qatar israel and others to achieve a ceasefire in gaza with the hostages
12:45 pm
released at the end of the war, without hamas in power, that becomes possible. as for the broader middle east region, today's announcement brings us closer to realizing the affirmative agenda that i'm pushing forward during my entire presidency. a vision for the future of the middle east, where it's at peace and prosperous and integrated across borders. a future where palestinians have a state of their own one that fulfills its people's legitimate aspirations and one that cannot threaten israel or harbor terrorist groups with backing from iran. a future where israelis and palestinians enjoy equal measures of security, prosperity and yes, dignity. to that end, the united states remains prepared to conclude a set of historic deals with saudi arabia to include a security pact and economic assurances together with a credible pathway for establishing a palestinian
12:46 pm
state and the full the full normalization of relations between saudi arabia and israel desire they both have. i believe this agenda remains possible and my remaining time in office, i will work tirelessly to advance his vision for an integrated secure and prosperous region all of which all of which stren getting all this done will require making some hard choices. israel has been tall, has been bold on the battlefield. iran and its proxies have paid a very heavy price. now israel must be bold and turning tactical gains against iran and its proxies into a coherent strategy that secure israel's long term its long term safety and advances a broader peace and prosperity in the region today's announcement is a critical step in advancing that vision. and so i applaud
12:47 pm
the courageous decision made by the leaders of lebanon and israel to end the violence. it reminds us that peace is possible. say that again. peace is possible as long as that is the case. i will not for a single moment stop working to achieve it. god bless you all. i'm sorry to keep you waiting so long. may god protect our troops. thank you mr. president. >> can you get a seat? we have been listening to president biden in the rose garden at the white house. let's actually listen to him answering this question. >> how is this any different from the previous ones the notion that we shouldn't be rewarded roxie mr. president what have you told the new administration the president they're being asked about comparing this current cease fire deal between one that was brokered between israel and hezbollah back in 2006, which clearly fell apart. >> it was difficult to hear
12:48 pm
what the president said there, but i think he said that there were significant differences. the president there saying that this agreement between israel and hezbollah and lebanon to enact this cease fire deal along with france and other significant player, is a critical step in advancing a vision of peace for the region. the president repeating multiple times that peace is possible. he talked about lasting security for israel not being achieved solely on the battlefield. he talked about diplomacy being a significant factor here. he said that the cease fire would take effect at 4 a.m., and it is in his mind, designed to be permanent. but he added that if hezbollah or any other actor breaks the terms of this deal, that israel has a right to self-defense. he also called it a new start for the people of lebanon. >> he said hezbollah won't be allowed essentially to reconstitute and that lebanon can be on a path to a future worthy of its significant path. he also then pivoted to gaza and he said that the people of
12:49 pm
gaza deserve an end to hostilities, that they've been through hell, and that hamas has a choice to make. we're going to see of course, what happens now that israel is turning its attention away from lebanon and back towards gaza. let's go now to cnn international diplomatic editor nic robertson, who's live for us in jerusalem. nic, what stood out to you yeah, i think this notion that hezbollah won't be allowed to rebuild and there's an opportunity for lebanon here to to sort of have a different and better political future. >> this concept that hezbollah has been so decimated on the battlefield, so many leaders killed and some of their ties with iran fractured physically and broken, that this gives lebanese society an opportunity to grow in a way that it couldn't where hezbollah was so dominant. remembering that this you know, remembering that hezbollah grew dominant out of the lebanese civil
12:50 pm
war back in the sort of 70s and 80s at the end of that, all sides were supposed to put down their weapons. hezbollah didn't. they got a political front. they had the military force. they dominated and the idea that president biden is putting forward here is that that's over. and this is a chance for lebanon, the right to strike back for israel. hugely important fight just over five hours until that ceasefire comes into effect. i'm not sure all the people who will be able to go back in the north quite believe yet what president biden is aspiring lebanon will achieve that hezbollah is effectively sidelined militarily. >> yeah. and as you were speaking, we got confirmation from the white house that israeli prime minister netanyahu spoke with president biden, thanking him for the u.s .'s involvement in obtaining the cease fire agreement, but also notably for understanding that israel will maintain freedom of action in its enforcement. notable words. there coming from netanyahu. nic robertson, live for us in jerusalem. thank you so much, nic. stay with cnn news central. we're going to take a

12:56 pm
discretionary with their spending this year americans have 30% more debt than they did last christmas. and so you have retailers fighting over every dollar that people are going to spend. target, for example, had really slow sales in the third quarter. so they are ramping up sales and promotions in the fourth quarter around the holiday season to bring people in. foot locker on the other hand, guys, they learned their lesson last year. they got stuck with too much inventory. so they are not offering as many sales and promotions. the one thing that all retailers know this year, the holiday shopping season is a week shorter so less time for people to do their shopping. but that could mean some good news if you're a last minute shopper if stores have inventory, they're going to move that inventory really quick. you could see some good deals if you're a last minute shopper guys, maybe you could give new year's presents in your cabbage. >> thank you so much for that report. and the lead with jake tapper starts after a quick break at the liquid, gels are
