have a conversation with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu sometime today as desperation grows in gaza with thousands now breaking into an aid warehouse, hungry, starving, taking flour and basic hygiene products there. netanyahu announcing this weekend they have entered this second phase of war as idf forces expand their attacks on gaza. welcome to "fox news live," i'm aishah hasnie in with mike. mike: i'm mike emmanuel. the civil order breaking town in gaza as we enter the war's fourth week. we have fox team coverage with jennifer given at the pentagon, greg palkot and trey yingst in israel. trey, let's start with you for the latest on the ground operations in gaza. good afternoon. >> reporter: mike, good afternoon. the israelis continue their ground operations inside gaza, still describing this as an

extended raid. but with we do know there are forces on the ground despite if it being nightfall. earlier today the we saw those israeli tanks and troops inside the strip. here's what it was like. as fighter jets roar overhead, you can see israeli forces operating inside the gaza a strip. the israelis are working at this hour to the the to soften their target from the ground and from the sky. the level of destruction inside gaza is significant. the neighborhood behind me completely destroyed. you can see the mosques and buildings inside gaza reduced to rubble. as israel continues their ground and is air campaign against hamas. the israelis operating on the eastern and western side of gaza. some new images showing those forces near to the mediterranean sea and our cameras capturing them on this side of the strip. the israelis say over the past

24 hours they have conducted more than 450 airstrikes against targets across northern gaza. we've also seen hose artillery units active along the border today raising new questions about what will happen to the more than 2 million civilians currently inside the strip. they've been warned to move to the southern part of gaza, but as you can see, the destruction is so extensive, neighborhoods wiped off the map, where will these people live? this is a question that many inside is have. we've been talking with civilians today now that communication has been restored, and they wonder about what comes next for the palestinian people. you saw the images of those palestinians storming a u.n. feared warehouse, trying to take basic necessities and those hygiene products, simply out of options with no aid getting into gaza. there were a few trucks last week that were able to make it through the rafah crossing with egypt, but this really illustrates the desperation for the palestinian people, many sleeping in tents, forced from their homes in the north and waiting for what comes next.

mike, aishah? mike: trey yingst leading us live from southern israel, trey, doing a phenomenal job with. stay safe, my friend. thank you. aishah: meanwhile, israeli defense forces are conducting airstrikes on hezbollah military infrastructure to the north in lebanon. our senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot is there at the israeli-lebanon border. greg, what do you see? >> reporter: the militant group hezbollah and other related groups many lebanon have been pretty active over weekend. just about 900 minutes ago we heard -- 90 minutes ago we heard sirens coming from a attorney near us, population about 20,000. our contact on the ground was able to send us back some video of the aftermath of the strike. a missile impacted a residential house, started a fire there. we are told there were no injuries. that town is one of many in this area which has been evacuated. not everyone has left, but it looks like the folks in that house, thankfully, did and, again, no injuries.

two other missiles hit the town, a total of 16 missiles were fired according to the idf, israeli defense force, many a barrage coming from lebanon to this region. there have been reports of some missiles landing many, many miles from the border, some near military bases. one has to to wonder whether this uptick in action by the militants has been triggered by the escalating israeli action in gaza. following the missile fire and sirens, we heard long and sustained israeli artillery blasts, clearly a response to the firing. they're using you name it to go against targets in lebanon, even hitting a militant site before they were able to attack. this as pressure has been building on the iran-backed hezbollah militants to step up attacks even further than they've been doing recently. several thousand attended a protest in beirut, lebanon, supporting hamas and its fight with israel all triggered, of course, by the horrendous terror of october 7th. an official of hamas has also

called on hezbollah to do more and finally, aishah, we heard from the president of iran, the backer of most of these groups, speaking out today saying israel's response to hamas' action crosses, he said, red lines. and, in his words, may force everyone to take action. certainly been seeing a lot of action tonight. aishah: watching that border very, very closely in the next couple of days. greg pal cot, thank you. mike: iraq's islamic resistance taking credit for a drone strike the on a u.s. site last night. chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live with the latest from the pebt gone. hi, jen. >> reporter: hi, mike. u.s. military sources tell us that drone did the not land near the u.s. base, and there were no casualties and no damage to the infrastructure there. the saudi defense minister, the brother of saudi crown prince mohamed bin salman, is expected

at the white house tomorrow for meetings with the president's national security team. defense secretary lloyd austin also plans to meet with the saudi leader this week. the meetings, or which were arranged prior to the war in gaza, highlight the enormous concerns by the u.s. and its allies in the region9 that the war could spread beyond israel and gaza. a u.s. military official tells fox news there was an iranian proxy drone that attempted to strike u.s. troops at a base in northeast syria, but it landed in an open field and did not cause any casualties or infrastructure damage to u.s. troops at the base. the pentagon and white house have sent a warning to the iranians with a pair of airstrikes on thursday night and a message conveyed by the swiss directly to tehran that the u.s. response will escalate if u.s. troops are harmed. >> if american troops are attacked by iran and its proxies, we will respond. we did respond. if i a -- attacks continue, we will respond. and i think the iranians

understand our message. and we, of course, are taking every measure necessary to protect our forces, to increase our vigilance and to work with other countries in the region to the try to keep this conflict that is currently in israel and gaza from spinning out into a regional conflict. but the risk is real and, therefore, vigilance is high. >> reporter: meantime, the uss eisenhower, the aircraft carrier strike group which is enroute to the persian gulf, entered the mediterranean today, another message of deterrence to tehran. so far the indications are that the leader of hezbollah in lebanon who oversees an arsenal of more than 150,000 missiles, some of them capable of hitting haifa and tel aviv, does not want to open a second front against israel, but it's not clear how he and his forces will respond if iran orderses hem to do so. the latest intelligence suggests he knows he could lose everything if he gets dragged into the hamas-israel conflict. he's doing just enough tit for

tat with israel in the north to say we're still here. the real problem facing the us israelis is how to attack the miles and miles of hardened hamas tunnels under gaza. u.s. forces have trained with the two specialized israeli units who focus on clearing the tunnel. the i the df released this rend arerring of how they believe the network runs right under gaza's main hospital. the entrances and exits come out many residential homes in gaza. efforts to clear the tunnels could involve smoke and flooding, we're told. president biden is expected to speak with prime minister benjamin netanyahu soon, in the coming hours. aishah, mike? mike: jennifer griffin live at the pentagon, many thanks. now let's bring in retired lieutenant colonel james carafano. welcome. >> good to be with you. mike: 21 attacks on u.s. forces over the past couple of weeks, al shaddadi here in syria is the most recent target, no

casualties taken there. al assad air base, seven attacks, it's been a popular target. your thoughts on what's happening in terms of targeting our no, sirs in the middle east. >> our forces in the middle east. >> in many ways, this is a legacy of our withdrawal from iraq are. as you remember, we saw this metastasization of isis that established a caliphate all through iraq and syria. so when the u.s. military essentially went back in to kind of take down the caliphate, what they did is they left these kind of stay-behind forces that are basically put in place to the conduct long-term counterterrorism against a resurgence of isis and that kind of thing. kind of like after the forest fire you leave some guys behind in case the fire kicks up again. why it's significant to this conflict, we're striking -- this is about force protection of the u.s., but what we know, what the rape a januaries know is the iranians have built with up over the syrian civil war a logistics

pipeline into lebanon through syria. that a makes hezbollah a much more powerful military force. not only can it attack, but it can get reinforcements in terms of more missiles, fuel, ammunition across syria, down here. that's the thing that the u.s. would likely go after. that pipeline in syria with, right? mike: just to highlight or, lebanon's here, gaza's down here, and so if you're sending stuff to hezbollah here, then you've got to target right below, right? >> and it all comes through right there. and is where are our carrier groups? they've got this area bracketed. mike: let's show. how about here? >> right. so our carrier groups have this whole area bracketed. we're not that far from europe. we've got loss of bases throughout -- lots of bases throughout this region, additional assets can come in. the u.s. is prepared to do a sustained air campaign. have you ever seen like top gun, right? you know what that deck looks like, people racing around, it's

a lot of work to get a sortie, put it in the air, get it out there, weather, land it again. you have two carriers, that gives you so much more whats i to really maintain -- capacity to really maintain an air power over the region. and if you want to conduct a sustained campaign against the pipeline going into hezbollah, you can certainly do that now. mike: the uss dwight d. eisenhower carrier strike group is heading for the persianingful. no surprise, right? >> right. the difference between one carrier strike group and two. with one carrier strike group, you send a message. i'm in the region, i can shoot at stuff if i need to, but when you put two carrier strike groups, now you're sending the message i am prepared to fight an air campaign in here that could last for some time. mike: potentially carrier strike group here, care carrier strike group here, and then destroyers, here in the gulf of aden. so really a strong show of force in the renal, right? >> -- in the region, right? >> you've got and, again, this

all ties back to iran. we always talk about hamas and hezbollah, but none of this would be happening if the iranians weren't orchestrating a large scale campaign. you also have attacks coming out of yemen. so you've got u.s. forces -- yeah. you have u.s. forces being pickets, picking off stuff coming out of yemen, forces -- hamas and hezbollah, you've got the surrogates in syria and iraq all of which potentially -- it's very interesting, when iran says we're all go to war over this, what iran really means is all our surrogates will go to war over this, right? so they're happy to fight to the last person in palestine or -- mike: this build withup is getting the attention of the iranians? >> well, again, this is a really interesting thing, this is all predictable. now, there is a question of how much would the u.s. really lean in to help the israelis. and i think there was some hope that that wouldn't happen,

right? but now when they've seen the buildup, they know, like, they know the israelis are going to go after gaza, right? if there's a second front, they're going to go after hezbollah. if the u.s. forces are there, they're going to pummel the things in syria. why do this when you know that the outcome is likely to be all these guys are going to get pummeled. this is where it gets difficult. the iranians can pull the plug, they can stop, hamas can trade for the hostages, bring this to a halt. they've got offramps whenever they want them, but the longer this goes and the more fighting there is, you have a weakened israel, potentially a have a humiliated u.s., lots of global attention. if you're iran, this is a perfect setup for iranian nuclear breakout saying, oh, the region's on fire, aye got to the protect -- i've got to the protect our people. mike: colonel, we've got to leave it there. aishah: joining us now is the israeli ambassador to the united states, michael herzog.

ambassador, thank you very much for joining us on this subject, we appreciate it. >> thank you. aishah: i want to start with this, we know that israel is entering this new phase of this war, this new phase of the ground invasion. are we to understand, ambassador, that this is happening now because perhaps the talks to release hostages has essentially fallen apart? >> well, we are extending, we're expanding our operations inside gaza to apply pressure on hamas, part of our strategic goal of ultimately destroying the hamas regime. we gave a chance to the talks through the qataris and others to see if we can get our hostages. ultimately, it was obvious to everybody involved that hamas was just playing for time, they were not serious about this. so we are applying pressure now inside gaza, but i till hope

that our pressure -- still hope that our pressure will encourage them to release hostages as we move. aishah: let's talk this through, because i know the two goals for israel right now is to destroy hamas and to also release these hostages, to to rescue them. some of the families in israel of these hostages are expressing some anxiety that their loved ones are also perhaps caught up in the middle of this bombardment that we're seeing right now. the ap is reporting that some of these families are open to the idea of exchanging palestinian prisoners for their loved ones. where is israel on that right now? >> right now there's no serious willingness on the other side to release hostages, so this is, unfortunately and tragically, three e relate call -- theoretical. as i say, we welcome the release of the hostages, and we give any

opportunity to that end. we believe that operation against hamas inside gaza may even encourage such an outcome, but i think right now maybe going to a public discussion about under what terms one could release hostages aren't helpful to the real efforts which are being made behind the scenes to release hostages. aishah: right. president biden is expected to have a phone call with prime minister benjamin netanyahu any moment now. we await that call. i know that getting americans out of gaza is a huge priority for the state department and the biden administration. i've been in contact with an american couple stuck in gaza right now from boston who have a 1-year-old child. they are practically starving. they're thirsty, they've run out of food and water. how is israel helping to release those dual citizens, americans stuck in gaza right now?

>> first of all, the phone call already took place a short while ago. the two leaders are talking constantly to each other. as for getting americans and other foreigners out of gaza, we are totally onboard and close cooperation, coordination with the u.s. government. the egyptians are onboard, and national security adviser jake sullivan said this morning publicly it's hamas that is holding up and preventing that from happening. aishah: okay. israel has recalled its diplomats from turkey, a huge move, after erdogan there practically called israel a war criminal saying that you're committing war crimes during this war. the goal, i know, for israel has long been to normalize relations with regional partners. is that goal at risk here? >> let's make a distinction

between those countries who normalize relations with israel under the abraham accords and others in the region who are quietly telling us go and destroy hamas, publicly they are more cautious, but they're telling us hamas is our enemy as well and the enemy of peace in the region and stability. in the case of turkey, unfortunately, president erdogan has gone all out against israel putting all the blame on us and justifying hamas. this is nothing that we can accept. let's not forget who we're talking about. we're talking about jihad, about the jihad thety -- jihadi organization that a waged an all out war against israel and kidnapped over 200 people and butchered 1400 people. how can you defend such an organizationsome this is fathomable to us. aishah: yeah, you can't. and my last question quickly, ambassador, there's a humanitarian crisis unfolding in gaza.

communication blackout over the weekend although i believe some telephone lines and internet are coming back up. thousands of people, we have video of this, broke into an aid warehouse because they were looking for flour, food, anything to feed their families. i know you previously said you were working hard to create some sort of a humanitarian zone, a corridor, to get aid in. where are we on that? >> we are working very, very hard in close coordination with all relevant u.n. agencies and with the u.s. government and u.s. special coordinator to provide solutions. we are very mindful of the human challenges. we, it is our duty and interest to make sure that civilians, innocent civilians, are not harmed, and we're trieded to get them out of harm's way -- we're trying to get them out of harm's way. today we allowed in 48 trucks, truckloads of assistance, and we're going to increase more and

more. in one or two days, i believe we'll be able to get a hundred trucks over into gaza, and we are working, tracking very closely the humanitarian needs of gaza in terms of food, medical supplies, water, all that to provide solutions. this is a tragic situation. it is a war that was imposed on us. we did not initiate it, but we have to go after hamas. everybody understands that. aishah: yeah. >> and we call on them not to put civilians in harm's way. we're trying to get them out of harm's way. and you'll see more and more solutions in the coming days including floating hospitals, field hospitals and a lot more human currency and assistance going into gaza. irish we'll be following that closely especially for our americans that are stuck in gaza

at the rafah border. ambassador, we know you're busy, we very much appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you very much. if. mike: friends star matthew perry was found dead at his los angeles area home last night. we will take you lye outside perry's home in pacific palisades next. ♪ (vo) in three seconds, janice will win a speedboat.

mike: matthew perry, best known for playing chandler bing on friends, died at his home yesterday in l.a. of an apparent drowning. he was known for his acting and advocacy on substance abuse and sobriety. christina coleman is live with the latest. hello, christina. >> reporter: hi, mike. yeah, we are out in front of the home of matthew perry, this tv icon who has touched zombie not only his acting and his producing and his comedy, but also his dedication to helping others who are struggling with addiction and mental health. go ahead, i want you to take a look at this home. as you can see, fans have been showing up. there are flowers outside of the gate right in front of his door, people coming out here to, you know, send their condolences and to pay tribute to him. he lives in this beautiful neighborhood here in the pacific palisades. you can't see to the right of

me, but there's mountains, you can drive up way, you have a gorgeous view of the ocean, it is just really a beautiful place, and this is where he lives and also where he was found dead. now, tmz reports that his assistant found him unresponsive yesterday morning here at his home several hours after perry finished a 2-hour match of pickleball. they also report that first responders did not find illegal drugs at this house, but they did find numerous are prescriptions including antidepressants and drugs to help with anxiety and chronic obstruct isive pulmonary disease. and take a look at this, this is perry's very last instagram post. it was taken here at his house, this photo, six days ago he posted this to instagram. it's a nighttime photo of his hot tub, and he said, oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good. now, that post now has more than a million likes and thousands of tributes. many people saying they feel

like they lost a friend, they're also showing their appreciation for perry's openness in regards to his own trig things. the 54-year-old actor is most moan for his funny role as chandler on "friends" which ran for ten seasons and continues to gain fans. but again, perry was also known for being a big advocate for mental health. he was open about his decades-long struggle with addiction which resulted in a variety of medical issues and a brief stint on life support as perry detailed in his 2022 memoir called friends, lovers and big terrible things. >> the best thing the about me, bar none, is if somebody comes up to me and says i can't stop drinking, can you help me? i can say, yes, and follow up and do it. when i die, i don't want friends to be the first thing that's mentioned. i want that to be the first thing that's mentioned. >> reporter: so powerful. and, again, so many tributes are pouring in. nbc released a statement saying that perry brought so much joy

to hundreds of millions of people around the world with his pitch perfect comedic timing and dry wit. his legacy will live on through countless generations. and we also have a quote from maggie wheeler, who costarred on friends. sorry, it is so windy out here. she says what a loss, the world will miss matthew perry. he brought so much joy during his too short lifetime, and the joy that he brought will live on, and it definitely will. again, so many people touched by him. back out here live at this house, you can get a better view, you can see those flowers there. that'll probably grow larger, the flowers and the tributes and the people coming out here just to honor him and the man that he was. i mean, it's just incredible, wonderful to see somebody spreading awareness. back to you. mike: christina coleman live from the pacific palisades, thank you much. aishah: let's bring in

entertainment reporter josh mcbride who's joining us now. shocking to everyone because he's just 54 years old, brightenningly young. tmz broke the story, and you heard details in that report just now that he, you know, he'd just been playing two hours of pickleball, comes back, sits in the jacuzzi and winds up drowning, and they haven't been -- they didn't find any illicit drugs in his house. prescription medication, but not illicit medication. what's the latest that you're hearing about just the circumstances surrounding this? >> yeah, aishah, very similar to what you're hearing. i think the most important part that we can take away or that we should be taking away is not to speculate. you know, i was thinking about it, and i thought about, you know, again, when you go other to a friend's house, they have prescription drugs. i have, you know, from the last time i was sick, there was prescription drugs still in the cabinet, so i think the important part is not to speculate, oh, he was doing this because he had a prior issue. we know that toxicology will take several weeks to get back, so we should find out more then,

but i think it's important to focus on celebrating and honoring his legacy versus kind of thinking about, well, what could have made this happen. aishah: let's talk about that, because this is someone who was so important to our generation growing up. i mean, not just on "friends," but so many other projects that he worked on. obviously, one of the most beloved sitcoms of all times. we felt like he was our friend growing up. tell me about the impact this is going to have, just this loss. >> i mean, aishah, it's so crazy to think about, people still call it the friends phenomenon, right? there's no show that was like friends. if you remember way back when, this was a showing -- the first show that the entire cast banded together to say we want to make more money for a show, and i think at one point they had negotiated making a million dollars, but they all had banded together to do this. show will go down, i think, as the most well known show, there's generations and generations who will always remember this show and be able to, you know, of course, on all the treatment thing networks

now. our parents know it, our kids know it, and we're able to enjoy it to this day. aishah: just a stunning loss for everyone. josh mcbride, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. all right, the biden administration defending israel's efforts to defeat hamas while continuing to push for humanitarian aid into gaza. we're going to have a live report from the white house next. ♪ ♪ mlb chooses t-mobile for business for 5g solutions... ...to not only enhance the fan experience, but to advance how the game is played. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network can do for your business.

aishah: welcome back. president biden is calling for a humanitarian pause, not a ceasefire, a pause, in the israel-that mass war to facilitate hostage releases as he continues rallying support for israel. griff jenkins is live from the white house right now with the latest on that effort. >> reporter: good afternoon, aishah. the white house has made it very clear that the release of the hostages, the american hostages, is the top priority. on friday nsc spokesman john kirby reiterated that saying they should be released

regardless of whether there is or is not a humanitarian pause. earlier today, jake sullivan had this observation -- >> we will continue to talk to our israeli counterparts, we'll continue to ask hard questions about how they are thinking this through, how they are proceeding. but ultimately, these are their decisions, this is their action and their best posture to be able to answer questions about how it's proceeding. >> reporter: this comes as israel increases its ground offensive in what prime minister netanyahu calls the second teenage of the -- stage of the war. republican senator james lankford says now is not the time for a pause. >> if you stop right now and if you pause, it gives opportunity for hamas to dig in more and to be able to lay more booby traps. so it is a judgment call that has to be made on the ground based on intelligence right now. >> reporter: meanwhile, aishah, president biden is taking criticism from members of his own party for standing firmly behind israel. congress juan pennsylvania

mill -- congresswoman pramila jayapal had this warning -- >> the american people are actually quite par away from where the president and even congress, the majority of congress, has been on israel and gaza. they support the right for israel to defend itself, to exist, but they do not support a war crime exchange for another war crime. and i think the president has to be careful about that. >> reporter: and, aishah, you made some news in that great interview with ambassador herzog about the president speaking with netanyahu earlier today. we've been reaching out to the white house for a readout on that. we'll get it to you as soon as we get that. aishah? aishah: looking forward to it. thank you, griff jenkins, live at the white house. thanks, griff. mike: for more reaction, let's bring in today's political panel, vice president of coin, cassie smedley, and capital counsel llc partner jonathan kott. welcome to to both of you. so a first test for new speaker mike johnson is expected to tom

this -- to come this week. let's play it. >> well, listen, we are going to move a stand-alone israel funding bill this week in the house. i know our republican colleagues in the senate have a similar measure. we believe that that is a pressing and urgent need. there are lots of things going on around the world that we have to address and we will, but right now what's happening in israel takes the immediate attention. mike: so separating israel funding from ukraine funding, what do you think of that approach, jon hand. >> i don't agree with it. i think the president laid out a good argument for why israel funding, ukraine funding, support for taiwan and border security funding should be brought together in one package. i think ukraine still has an ongoing war. let's not forget that is a war that's ongoing. just because it's moved away from the front pages. so i would like to see those brought together. if not, i'm hopeful that he will bring up a ukraine funding bill. that's something kevin mccarthy was unable to do and a lot of his party didn't want him to do. we'll see if mike if johnson

gets a pass from them. mike: house republicans don't want a combo bill, right, cassie? >> right. and in this three weeks plus we had without a speaker, the congress wasn't able to do anything about it, so i think this gives hem the opportunity to seven that strong message they hadn't yet been able to send. and a lot of people have been missing that from the united states. yes, we've seen president biden say things, go over there, but to actually have action from congress has been missing, and i think it's important to for folks to see especially as the issue gets more and more complicated. mike: okay. former vice president mike pence drops out of the campaign yesterday, is it too early for a campaign autopsy, jonathan? >> i don't know that his campaign ever was alive to begin with, i'm sorry. i think mike pence stood up on january 6th and everybody was happy, but i don't think he ever actually had a path to victory, and he's just not representative of where the republican party is sod today.

and i think if he's going to look back, that's what he'll realize is, he may have been a great republican candidate in the '80s and '90s, he's just not now. this is the donald trump party, and he's not part of it. mike: cassie, are you surprised by the timing? >> you know, i'm not. i think he took a nice, honest, strong, hard look at his path and saw a lot of barricades in the way of it. i do think that if there's ever going to be a moment for someone to coalesce around someone, the party to coalesce around someone not named donald trump, it's got to happen sooner rather than later, and he was the first to sort of say i'm going to be a leader on this issue. will others fall behind him, remains to be seen, but it's getting down to the wire. there's not much time to coalesce if people don't want it to be donald trump. mike: we're tight on time. congressman dean phillips, 54 years old, business background, jumping in to run against president biden. quick reaction. >> i've spent my career working with moderate democratic politics, and i had to google who dean phillips with.

he voted with biden 100% of the time. i'm not sure what his case is. mike: cassiesome. >> well, i don't think he's going to be a threat to joe biden, but i do think the very fact that the democrat party feels there needs to be an alternative to joe biden problematic for joe biden and the democrats. mike: okay. do other democrats potentially jump in? >> that remains to be seen.
