the i'm good. how about this? welcome to the program. the secretary of state's entity blinking has told israel that the us will always be by its side, blinking made that comment at a press conference after meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin this in yahoo, into living lincoln's woods, come as the un says, nearly 340000 people have been forced to leave the homes in gaza with fears of humanitarian crisis growing as israel continues to launch it strikes on the territory. israel says it's hitting targets links to the terrace group. i'm us offers unprecedented attacks over the weekend that killed at least 1200 people in as well. meanwhile, palestinian authorities in gaza site more than 1400 people have been killed by

israeli strikes. he is what makes with yahoo and blinking up to say president barton was absolutely correct in calling this sheer evil come us is isis. and just as isis was crushed, so to will come must be crushed. and from us should be treated exactly the way isis was created. they should be spit out from the community of nations. no leader should meet the no country. sure to harbor them. and those that do should be sanctioned tony, my friend, i say to you, i say to all of us, there will be many difficult days that you may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself. but as long as america exists,

you will never ever have to we will always be there by your side. israel has the right indeed the obligation to defend itself and to ensure that this never happens again. so the prime minister and i discussed how is real does this matters. we democracies distinguish ourselves from terrace by striving for a different standard, even when it's difficult and holding ourselves to account when we fall short. our humanity, the values that we place on human life, and human dignity, that's what makes us who we are. and we count them among our greatest strength. that's why it's so important to take every possible precaution to avoid funding civilians. and that's why the more and the loss of every innocent life civilians

have every face. every nationality have been killed. and we're currently waiting on another press statement a by on to new blinking, and we'll bring you that live as soon as it happens. but 1st, early on i off the w, a senior international correspondent funding for charles about the message that a blinking is bringing to as well. so basically that the west end side by side with israel. you a secretary, you a secretary of state blink. and they're saying that basically israel has the backend as long as it's necessary, as long as inside the united states exists. he said now while he's reiterating what you already said before embarking on this mili store, people are of course, wondering what that actually means in terms of the next steps forward in this was what was also important though in that statement that we just heard the, that blink, and also emphasize the value of civilian lives. so by that in directly appealing to each one as well to show some restraint when it comes to basically bomb being a god. what is happening right now as we are speaking? so people,

their policy is or what interest citizens are fleeing basically for safety, but where to go, it's such a densely populated area, a guy is a strip and also there is no way out. in fact there's a lot of conflicts in for conflicting information. whether that very important, a rough, a border between egypt and gaza is going to be open for civilians to be able to leave. and if not to actually just at least make it possible that it can come in. so why are these, of course is very strong rhetoric here by me, sibling cannot, as we're speaking, he's actually speaking to is really, is what trying to deliver some aid to those who are displaced within israel because of the conflict. people wonder what his presidency is. route is going to have, in terms of consequence beat for the content and show a release of those hostages being held captive as instead today, since how much mr. thomas has a mission, it's a terroristic attack on such a day, but also when it comes to gaza,

what kind of action is going to be undertaken to make sure that the civilian life that mr. banking is pointing out on both sides and this conflict that civilian life is being protected. if anybody can, will also go to jordan. what does he wants to achieve that? basically he wants to make, show that the presence of the united states being here in israel and the diplomatic a tour that is to follow because he's not just only going to meet of the lead off jordan, but the also the leader of the palestinian territories of the police doing a story to mr. a boss. so what he's trying to do is make sure that actually all the diplomatic attempts that where the u. s. was pushing fee prior to all of this and stuff today. i'm not going to pull back to square one. namely, for example, the united states was pushing a lot full of some sort of a warning up of costs between sold ravia and israel. now that of course is in

jeopardy as a is rallies, bumping, gaza. and by that, of course, many people into our abroad, the wondering whether that actually makes sense that there is a, talked to before. it's between sort a, b, a and israel. so what we can is try to do here is showing to the rule that the u. s . has a very important diplomatic standing when it comes to mediate this conflicts. what at the same time? of course, we do not know, know how iran, for example, is going to react to this physical presents as well, to, of the united states, a represented by mr, blinking in israel, and how the war, as such, is going to continue against casa funny, such and all that reporting from jerusalem, thank you. funny or 6 days after that. how must tara attacks? israel is a country united in its response to the terra, carried out by moss and emergency unity. government has been formed,

thousands of years of his troops return to the country to answer the call to arms on thursday. and some of the grieving families in the israel said good bye to loved ones and is vile. the fast to victims of the hamas tell her attack can afford. and so jen, so many done for that here in the festival color. she was gone down to know night talk to age, 24, grieving family and friends, parents weeping for children, suddenly callously taken from the batch. the shock of how much unprecedented attacks is rapidly morphing into anger. now, just a week ago, israel was a divided country. now it appears united in the face of what it sees

as an existential select. the crisis prompted prime minister benjamin netanyahu to put aside political differences and form an american st. government, encouraging centrist form at defense minister, penn. again, it's not useful. any other states of israel wouldn't be the strongest stage in the region, but there's also a seat reserved for opposition later. yeah, yeah. pete retreat semester thing on as well as the border with gaza. the defense minister spelled out the government's intentions in no uncertain terms of the icy. so garza will not exist on all baldo. the idea if we destroy from us and we will hunt down every last man with the blog will fall. children on his hand as politicians come together to take on

from us. young is riley's returning from all over the world to report for duty in the military was as a medical student, lithuania, i cannot sit here and study medicine while i know that my friends are fighting and my family needs protection, this is my time. it's my duty right now and southeast asia to be part of the legal for reason that happens. it needs to be part of this in significant times, and these are, as is miles west of allies, also valley in around like u. k. so in secretary james cleverly seen him running for cover doing a red light and now the world watches on hoping diplomacy. moving out i spoke with ron berg, he's the former speaker is really parliament and a vocal critic of prime minister netanyahu and his policies. and i asked him if he

was still speaker, would he support engineer? i was new, full time unity government. so that's a very, pretty little political question because it's thought about who sits around the table. but what is the end the game? what is the strategy? it looks now that the strategy of israel is anger and revenge and i do not support need to anger. no revenge is a political advisor. yes, there is a lot of sort on this in this society. there is not even one home that doesn't know somebody didn't lose somebody at the last. somebody have people hosta haven't kept, wants to do is in gaza. and the sole role is, is so they've been so profound yet. he does not justify for means going off to the leaders of him, us and the soldier will home us. it said as you to me, target going against an innocent population in masses in a kind of

a collective punishment. the answer is no. so whether i am a simple civilian like i am today, or political leader like i used to be like value system is the same enemies are to be folk, then you know, some people are to be engaged with the process of peace. many of the government does not have 2nd spot. he does not have an existent receipt for the 1st bought. now the language i'm coming from is right at the moment to cross and eliminate how mos iowa behind that on old to listen language is very important because it's a mirror, it's a reflection of the sort and a lot of what i know about these real today is not coming through these really media, it comes through the some tastic media reports in june. and there's some report done by foreign agents is like your amazing tanya kramer in jerusalem. but through her reports,

i know what happens governor of kilometers away from my home. and when a see this pictures, my beloved boys. but when i listen to the language, i cannot accept it. i do not accept any human beings defined as in any mode. nobody's an animal because my enemy is defined as in any move it is. it's a relief and excuse me, from responsibility. and i said, no, these are human beings with evil behavior, with oh, for the upcoming, a bringing that i have to address them is the worst expression of humanity. and then i have to add with my or the other voices which are not like them and address them as the peak of humanity. but nobody should be addressed as a nimble, as into mench, wanting to mention because these kinds of language is not one either describes the reality will help us to move onwards. and it's about who is it you said earlier

that you do not support the strategy? cons they've been being taken by israel like the what, something called the siege of god and what is then the alternative for that but will be about valid strategy in your opinion. sure. is there is no strategy. there is only very aggressive and very violent tactics go after them killed them. it is as if to satisfy the political bass or at least to restore some international marshal position. and i do not believe that's a really strategy. every strategy should be actually one that is divided into 3 elements. the 1st one he is yes to put down as much as possible active from us militant individuals. the 2nd is to engage those palestinian either piece. bees, lovers, or people who are committed to the political process, be the mean romana,

and even hundreds of thousands of them in gaza to engage them politically speaking, and publicly speaking into a different process between israel and the palestinian re, uh, in the purchasing of the people and the 3rd is the international community, only a coalition which goes from egypt and jordan to abraham, a cold countries, the amorous me, radco saudi arabia. now united states of america and the european union only exam together to come. and the force decides to sit down together and actually put down swedes and raise up alternative and political systems. so it's an international involvement, the separation between best people and the good people and the political process. and let's change the subject ever so slightly. do you think this more could have

been prevented and, or could have been foreseen? this is the kind of wisdom that i always have. the fact of the jewelry, it's a bit more difficult but a put it as follows. 2 kinds of the shortcomings of my government made it possible not to made it responsible but made it possible. the 1st is the fact that constantly for years now. nathan, yahoo, who's on there. he is lee the sheep, though i do not think he is a re leader. i think he's being late by his own personal criminal agenda, but 3 is so called leadership. preferred him us over the palestinian authority. and he actually nourished to this how much people in order not to negotiate with the people with the but a single for the people. because dealing with the palestinians, what the politically elected, or appointed,

or selected or recognized by the state and re present that these means that policy in your state. and this is something that they didn't like. so you prefer the extra room is over the moderate. and now he's invested in pays back. so bank being the 2nd is that on the always frightened to death from his political base, which are the settlers and mainly the aggressive religious fanatics. settlers in the west bank and the band. and all that is really is around garza and he, a band of the old, the other is really is in order to save his a saker. the settlers in the great, the length of these really in the west bank and they, they stood together prioritizing the settlements and negotiating and promoting from us makes, seem very responsible. it could have been prevented if israel for the last generation and most of this political generation was under the prime minister. she pulled

bethany, o would have built a very viable palestinian alternative, which is not really just the zillow, which is not fundamentally fanatics. and the fact that we did not have this alternative is actually the blood on the hands of the prime minister. though we have to remember that the real killers and the real feelings here are this malicious. dia, bullying. berry is committed the your, the atrocities of the last week. and i remember our class. thank you so much of your time. thank you very much. i and as far as on cause i'm have continued with israel saying it's targeting from us units that lead the weekend attacks and preparing for a possible ground defensive effectively bombardment. the house has been devastating

to the densely populated territory as concerns of humanitarian crisis. a growing agony fills the air. these people are desperately looking for survivors. while pulling bodies out of the rubble. dawn has brought the side of new destruction to gaza with entire blocks raised by overnight strikes, manage the houses of my family, my neighbors and mine were hit. i came out of the house to find my children injured . a whole square was completely destroyed. visa children, children, they show no mercy the palestinian territory. one of the most crowded places on us has been under siege since saturday, and a near constant bombardment is rowse ash. it's hitting targets linked to the terrorist group. home us,

in retaliation for it to tax over the weekend that killed more than a 1000 people. the army has deployed tens of thousands of troops to the border as it prepares for a ground defense if the pressure is steadily rising. so far, the entry of food, water, fuel, and medicine into gaza has been halted. increasing concerns about a humanitarian crisis to jordan has sent its 1st 8 packets to garza. but israel as energy minister says that will be no break to the siege until the dozens of hostages have by how mouse are freed, humanitarian aid to gaza. no electrical switch will be lifted. no water hydrate will be opened and no fuel truck will enter until the is rarely hostages are

returned. home communitarian for humanitarian and nobody should preach us morals. as the situation escalates, diplomats are seeking to stop the spiral of violence and the release of the hostages held in gospel us and earlier and spoke to husband pollution this a journalist based in gaza. and he told me more about the situation on the ground in gauze. and it's, it's very hard to say finding at the top and bottom in days and continuing since morning overnight. um today that was like a places for 1850 targeted more than other places. um, the main 2 areas of cold, of comma in the north can of the city. and then the area attached to that and many areas where the head and as well. but this one was one of the,

the most intensive when many buildings they bought it where destroyed, there was a strike and that the beach can and some people were killed while they were in, in, in house. a situation in general is very here is very high prairie, but people don't know what to do where to go and there is no electricity since yesterday. complete. click out, sour is, is shot, the 2 sources of electricity is out until said that and, and then kind of fun and the telephone service is very limited. it keeps scott and most of the places have no internet connection. the water supplying was the 6. it, many people don't have a drinking water or clean water for washing. and it said that the high crossing is still closed and people are not able to leave. and in case they want to know,

sometimes that he's way the army is getting people to that the way area you know that to, to attack it sometime today they were, they dropped the leaflets on the on check. and the areas that they want the people to leave it. some people go to enter the schools on her ways to canada, over 200000 people taking on or what schools at shelters and but with very limited sources. they are of the administrative cells and even gone to the hospital calling and to ask kids wells, they even afraid i uh is real bearing a savannah and uh us extra estate anthony blinking is holding another press conference. now let's go live tutorials every day. in my meetings with the prime minister with the present hertzog, with the ministers and israel's newly formed national emergency government. we

discussed in detail what is real needs to defend itself, its people, and how the united states can help to meet those needs. we're delivering on those needs as we speak, and we will work closely and swiftly with congress to meet them as they have all this afternoon. i met with families of american citizens. a mazda is killed for taking hostage the enormity of their anguish. their loss is immeasurable for the families of the missing there is an unrelenting agony of not knowing the fate of their loved ones. something that i don't think most of us can truly understand truly contemplate if you're not in their shoes, no one should have to endure what they're going through. there's so many families like united states is one of more than 30 countries where family members, friends,

entire communities are being forced to go through this branching experience because of a mazda is to stay for human life and basic human data. so we're doing everything we can to secure the release of the hostages, working closely with our as really partners i brought with me to israel, our deputy special representative for hostage affairs, the villain who joined my meetings with the families. and we'll stay on the ground here to support the efforts to feed our loved ones. i also had a chance to see a close, the genuinely inspiring solidarity of these really people in the wake of from us as a tax. when i visited one of the many sites where citizens have swiftly organized efforts to collect disorder, to distribute donations to those needs, including many families have been displaced from the south chesapeake, with some volunteers. several of them told us as really citizens one young couple

of told me how they narrowly escaped with their own lives. when a most terrorist attack the super, another music fest, they told me about their friends who were not fortunate for killed festival. others taking hostage were still missing in our time here in israel. everywhere we've gone. we've met people who've been touched in one way or another by a mazda is bloody hans and loved one friend, a classmate, a neighbor, a colleague, killed named missing. we encountered a nation together by greece, but also a nation united and resolved united states shares that resolved. we stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of his rep. from here, i'll go on to jordan, we're on the with his majesty king of della and the cost, and he's already president of us. and then over the coming days we'll visit was

leaders and saudi arabian united, our veterans, egypt, and color us across each of these engagements will continue pressing countries to help prevent the concept from spreading and to use the leverage with them us to immediately and unconditionally release. the hostages also discuss how we can continue to make real r a firm. in addition, for region that's more peaceful or prosperous, more secure warranty created. and in fact, that is the choice and the choice in some ways has been made even more start by the actions of the most on saturday. one path forward is a region that comes together integrated, normalize relations among its countries. people working and common purpose coming benefit more peaceful,

more stable then there's the pass that i'm us, has shown in the start, clear like, terror, destruction, nihilism. the choice could not be more clear. we know the choice that we're making, our partners and making. we have work to do to carry it through and all that i did today. i was supported by an exceptional team here in israel. it's been doing crucial work in incredibly difficult conditions led by remarkable charges. i fair stephanie how stephanie is doing an extraordinary job. we also look forward to welcoming our future investor. exactly israel as many here know, oss, launched as attacks on simco dora. this is the day that to celebrate finishing the reading of the tour. this saturday jews around the world will champ,

the 1st words of the book of genesis. they'll read that. in the beginning. there was darkness. and then there was like that the 1st person was alone. until a partner joined. i'm standing here today is alongside ours really friends and all those who reject her to help find the glimmers of light even in this moment of the darkness. and to make clear that as long as the united states is real, will never be long without having to take some questions. first quote, 1st question goes to sean, tended with s p o. thank you mister secretary, good evening. oh, can i just ask you to begin with a promise or nothing else who has shared? what do you, what he's, what are very gruesome photos. he said that he shared them with you. you know, the very disturbing to look at, but i wanted to see 1st of all what you uh,

what's your reaction was to, to those if i may like, well, understanding and then acknowledging the great suffering that's, that's but experienced by his release. uh there was a lot of concern in some quarters about the situation and gaza as well. people looking for food and in light of to cut off. uh, what's that discussed at all? just a few minutes here and situation cause i was there any call for uh for, for easy. some of these conditions are very strange as we say, expect a ground offensive. but if you allow me just one thing that's, that's, that's been reported just recently. there's a report in the washington post, so that's good. i'd say it's in, cuts are, has have decided to to, to slow down or suspend the, the access that you're on has to the $6000000000.00 as opposed to putting a special account. could you say if this is uh, if this is accurate and if it is, can you explain whether this is a slow down or something more for me? thanks very much. great. thanks john. so we did see photographs, videos that the israeli government shared with us some i think has actually already
