>> todd: secretary of state antony blinken landing back in israel to meet with prime minister netanyahu as 30 americans are confirmed dead in the war, 13 others unaccounted for. the israeli military says 199 innocent people are being held hostage in gaza. you are watching "fox and friends," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. you are looking live at the rafah crossing between gaza and is israel. the crossing is closed and hundreds are crowded at the gate at this moment. trey yingst is live with the very latest. good morning. >> trey: good morning, right now we are in the town ofst ofsterofsterot, next to the gaza border.
2:02 am
we found another car that was shot by hamas militants last weekend. this car belonged to an arab israeli taxi driver. the militants that entered gaza took no mercy on the people here. did not matter if they spoke their language or had similar background, they slaughtered everyone in sight. some people were taken back into gaza from this town when militants entered sderot. we have go pro video that shows hamas fighters on the back of motorcycles entering the areas and taking hostages. new number from the israeli military indicate 199 people are being held hostage inside the gaza strip at this moment. negotiations ongoing to see if americans and other foreigners
2:03 am
can be let out and if any hostage deal can be made behind the scenes. the israeli military staging along the israel-gaza border. as far as rafah. a lot of back and forth. prime minister netanyahu put out statement say thering is no peace deal. we have seen live stream video indicating four oil tankers belonging to the united nations apeer to making their way toward the border. overnight hezbollah targets were struck after missiles were fired into northern israel yesterday. this morning israeli authorities evacuating 28 communities along the border fearing escalation with the lebanese militant group
2:04 am
hezbollah. >> carley: what is latest egypt allowing people through? >> >> trey: the egypt have not been open to this idea, nor have the israelis. islamic jihad say they are not open to this idea, they have used human shield and fought within civilian areas in an effort to try to win as much publicity as they can in these type of conflicts. palestinians see this as palestinian land and they do not want to be removed from this iria, despite it is ruled by hamas. yesterday the government releasing a four-point plan indicating their objective and no place in the plan indicated they will try to remove palestinians from gaza and occupy the territory.
2:05 am
it is focused on destroying hamas government and military capability in the strip. >> todd: trey yingst live this morning. thank you. bring in mike baker, former cia covert operation officer. i am glad >> carley: asked about egypt. direction of this conflict all hinges on egypt. more than any other nation, not that i'm a middle east scholar, it is based on geography. are they doing enough? if not, how can we as america force their hand? >> your last part of the question, we don't have the ability to force their hand. first part of the question, egypt and the arab world have used the palestinian problem for decades at times for their own geopolitical interests. it is not surprising what egypt's position is right now,
2:06 am
they have really no interest in large number of palestinian refugees crossing into egypt, then the palestinian problem becomes egypt's problem and for years that is not what they wanted. >> carley: without question and there are a lot of people focused on border security seeing this situation in egypt playing out and saying this is exactly what we have been saying all along. to hear this also happening in the middle east is interesting. president biden was on "60 minutes" yesterday and here is how he responded. >> president biden: i don't think that is necessary, israel has a fine force. >> would you support occupation of gaza? >> president biden: it would be a big mistake whachl happened in gaza is hamas and extreme elements of hamas don't
2:07 am
representative all the palestinian people. >> do you believe hamas must be eliminated entirely? preeshgs >> president biden: i do. >> carley: he believes hamas should be eliminated but there should be a pathway to a palestinian state, what do you think of that? >> we keep hearing the same thing and playing the same scenario in this regional conflict that has been going on for generations. of course we're not interested or want to put american troops on the ground in this situation. so the president was stating the obvious there. we don't think it is good for israel to occupy gaza. as trey put it just now, israel doesn't have intention in occupying gaza. they understand what the operational implications would be. for president biden to say they
2:08 am
need to destroy hamas, easy for anyone to say. we have to be pragmatic about this. as brutal and horrific as the attacks were and as much as we need to be able to degrade hamas, we should know better after all our experience following 9/11 and before that you mitigate the risk, reducing terrorism is not a zero sum game. we have doing pragmatic about that. what president biden said, i don't want to call it word salad, he was stating the obvious. >> carley: fbi director wray warning of copy cat attacks on u.s. soil. history has been witness to antisemitism extremism for far too long inform this heightened environment, no question we're seeing an increase in reported threats and have to be on the lookout, especially for lone
2:09 am
actors who may take inspiration to commit violence of their own. >> todd: how much more difficult did the biden administration make this threat, they opened the border to people we have no idea who they are. yeah, you just point to the number one problem we've got in terms of hiding that director wray nodded to. september awe record number of known encounters, over a quarter million in the month of september, that is known encounters. during the biden administration, conservative estimates, million and a half gotaways. we don't know who they are because hence the term, they got away. when there is conflict in the middle east, our alert in local, state and federal intel goes up, we know there is potential for
2:10 am
domestic terrorism or threats here of the home land thachl is compounded by the fact over biden administration, for whatever reason, they have not provided a secure, controlled border. the irony of egypt shutting down the rafah crossing because they want to protect their border and know who is coming in? yeah, we spend all this time without that with semiporous border. the irane is there. it is significant problem when you don't know who is coming in. >> carley: four iran ans have been apprehended at the southern border this month alone. that is good way of putting it. leave it there. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. hundreded gather at the crossing
2:11 am
between gaza and egypt, mediators are trying to broker a humanitarian ceasefire. watson, skinner and joe concha and live update from trey yingst. >> todd: plus powerful pro-israel message from one of the stars in the n.f.l., we will share it next. >> need prayer. i don't know what we've come to, but just my thoughts, my prayers are out with those people and israel.

2:17 am
situation? >> it took a while to realize the severity because it was in israel. thousands of children at a music festival and suddenly rockets are being intercepted over our head and from the group of people i was with, i was the only american and i looked to everyone else to see how to react. one girl came to me, she said, it is okay, in this area, it happens sometimes. it wilo react. one girl came to me, she said, it is okay, in this area, it

2:19 am
>> carley: shooting at closed bathroom doors in case anyone was hiding. you get in your car, you didn't know where gunfire was coming from, you were driving into a situation possibly where terrorists were. how did you handle that? >> at first, we were trying to drive out of the campground, there was not gunfire yesterday. security of the party told us to drive in a certain direction, most of them died trying to get us out safely. then they told us to turn around and then we realized it was more than rockets and they yelled at everyone to get out and run because the fact we were so many cars in a small area made us easy targets.
2:20 am
we sat in our car for a second and we didn't understand. we heard the first gunshots, we opened our door and started running. kids were running in all directions, nobody knew what was the direction of safety. it was a split second decision that could have saved you or gotten you killed. we passed this ditch and a bunch of kids were hiding in this ditch and we contemplated getting in the ditch and hiding from the gunmen. i my friend said don't do it, if they see us in the ditch, we have nowhere to run. we kept running and later found out all the kids who stayed are no longer with us. >> carley: you were in egypt -- greece for a while and now you are moem safe. you have a 4r09 to process and i

is a long war, it is a complicated one. every war is complicated and chaotic, but this is multiple conflicts at once, it is a hostage crisis and hostages from multiple countries in gaza. people who are unaccounted for. massive humanitarian crisis emerged immediately when the hamas moved in to israel temperature is a great power competition with the russians and chinese given their own interest in the region. and it is a proxy war, as well. on top of it, the lavont countries hugging the eastern mediterranean have always been in crisis with each other and larger middle east. given all i've just said, we
2:38 am
have no idea how long this conflict will take. we can use the past as prologue to help guide us in our thinking, but there are new dimensions to this conflict. i would like to mention the hostage crisis. ittic tas me back to the 1980'ses during the reagan presidency. he was having victory in helping end the cold war, he was losing on the front of the global war on terror because americans were being held hostage under hezbollah in the same region and it crippled his presidency and led to the iran-contra affair temperature is difficult when you have a hostage crisis on top of the warfare and that is where we are. this is going to be very tough.

2:46 am
colleagues speak to them. we may disagree with them, they have their own rationality, none of them are crazies. >> todd: congressman, how responsible is robert malley for this appeasement strategy? >> robert malley was lead negotiator for biden and also for obama for the original iran deal that opened up billions in cash. the average cost of a hostage was 4 to 5 million and now up to billions. he is responsible for this much proo, he is an iranian regime sympathizer. what is disturbing, he had a whole network of people throughout the u.s. government
2:47 am
and i believe we only have seen the tip of the iceberg. one of his network is in the pentagon special operation directorate for policy as chief of staff and has access to classified systems. we want to know in congress why, how did she get it in the first place and what is being done about it? >> carley: there is huge build-up of palestinians at the rafah crossing. we are looking at people in the gaza strip. if gates are open, they will be in egypt, which is their ultimate destination to get out of this area. so far the gates remained scloesed. why and what is going to happen? >> this is back and forth negotiation with israel, egypt, hamas, somewhat with the united states that keeps changing by the way. there is two gates, one facing
2:48 am
interior with hamas and one facing egypt and these people are just kind of stuck. hamas is telling them to go back and turn around until aid trucks are received and egypt and israel aren't letting anything in. my position, countries that enabled hamas and financed them and allowed them to exist, mainly turkey, qatar and iran. this crisis was started by hamas and 100% backed by iran. for those enabling hamas, they should be taking care of these people. >> todd: republican lawmakers introducing a bill to block palestinian refugees from entering the u.s. we can't let president biden bring unvetted palestinians into
2:49 am
american communities the way he did with unvetted afghans. do you support this bill, congressman? >> i do. this burden can't be on the united states and began, you have so many in the un, throughout the un denouncing israel and are pro-palestinian, you have those folks and wealthy gulf states and you have turkey supporting hamas. fine, you guys take on this issue. you have resources to open up the camps and to pay for it than those nations need to step up and put their money where their mouth is. >> carley: stunning thing about this rafah image, it could be mistaken for our own southern border, except here the gates would be opened and we would let

the people in. there is a cautionary tale in there. thank you for joining us. president biden has a message for outside actors looking to get involved in the war on israel. listen to this. >> i wonder what is your message to hezbollah and its backer iran? >> president biden: don't. don't, don't, don't. >> carley: joe concha will react. >> steve: steve doocy will look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> steve: "fox and friends" in 10 minutes and 20 seconds. secretary of state antony blinken will meet with prime minister netanyahu this morning. the prime minister netanyahu's office denies reports of a ceasefire. across the globe, thousands of pro-palestinian protesters filling streets, blaming israel

party that actually governors. most prefer to governor. some no plan to execute. >> carley: president biden was on "60 minutes" yesterday he was asked what his message would be to hezbollah, obviously backed by iran. listen to what he had to say. >> there is limited fighting already on the northern israeli border. and i wonder what is your message to hezbollah and its backer, iran. >> don't. don't, don't, don't. >> don't come across the border? don't escalate this war? car. >> that's right. >> carley: strong message will they take it seriously. >> let's not have another front for israel to deal with the most important part of that interview is when scott pelley then asked president biden if iran is behind the attack and the war
2:59 am
and biden answered that there is no evidence establishing that and then they claimed that iran didn't have any advanced knowledge that an attack was coming that would lead the american people to believe that iran, the leading state sponsor that funds hamas to the tune of billions in terms of state sponsor of terror, didn't know this attack was coming? what sane and sober person believes this? of course they did. without iran there is no hamas. this may be why there is an abc poll out yesterday showing 54% of americans disapprove of the president's handling of this war. only 41% approve. the bottom line is that iran absolutely is fueling this and the fact that the president of the united states still says well maybe they didn't know that this was coming that is an insult to our collective intelligence to this point carley and todd. >> todd: in light of that, do you have any confidence going forward that joe biden, in light of everything that we know, that he should know that clearly he doesn't per your answer there,
3:00 am
that he will end his appeasement strategy with regard to iran or is it going to be business as usual in a couple of weeks with regard to iran? >> it seems, todd, that it will be business as usual when it comes to iran. you have to cut off money going into that country because it's not going towards what the administration keeps insisting humanitarian purposes but this goes from iran to hamas and then you see what happens with israel and the horrific war that's going on there right now. until we cut off that spigot, it's not going to happen. >> carley: on the polling front cnn came out with a poll 96% of people polled say they have is sympathy for israelis. you can't get 96% of people agree on anything. there is support for israel, of course, in this country as there should be. joe, thank you so much for joining us. >> thanks, guys. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day, everybody. >> todd: bye-bye. ♪ >> brian: fox news alert now. a live
