rachel: we begin this hour with a fox news alert. the idf announcing they have found six dead hostages taken by hamas on october 7 inside of a tunnel in gaza just days ago. pete: sadly, that includes the remains of hersh goldberg-p if olin who is the fourth american hostage believed to have been killed by hamas. joey: trey yingst joins us live from tel aviv with more. >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. six of the israeli hostages that were being held by hamas were killed by the group according to the i do df, their bodies recovered this weekend. it's a heartbreaking development

for the israeli people who have waited 331 days for them to come home. three of the hostages were set to be released from gaza during the first humanitarian exchange once a ceasefire was implemented. i'm told among them, american citizen hersh goldberg-polin. his story grabbed the attention of the world, the 23-year-old was attending a music festival when the attack began. he hid inside a bomb shelter that hamas ultimately through grenades inside of. while he lost his arm, he survived and was dragged into gaza. still though, the ordeal he survived until being executed in recent days. president biden released a statement overnight saying he was devastated and outraged, adding that the bodies were recovered from a tunnel the underneath rafah. the news has moved israel's defense minister to call on the war cabinet to reverse a decision led by benjamin netanyahu last year to keep troops in the philadelphi

corridor, preventing a ceasefire deal. the funeral for these six israeli hostages will be held mt. days ahead, but i can tell you it was a gloommy morning here in tel aviv. it actually rained in the city for the first time in months, and9 entire population of israel grieving the loss of hair six fellow citizens. guys? pete: trey, thanks for that report. it certainly is a sad a day in israel. you mentioned rafah and the crossing point there. it's a sticking point on the ceasefire. so if i'm correct, the cabinet the had said we're keeping israeli troops there because we can't trust hamas to control that checkpoint. you're saying that may change in light of this? how does this event change the ongoing negotiations, especially that crossing point? >> reporter: yeah. so i want to take you through a little bit about what occurred over the past week. i spoke this morning with a senior israeli official who indicated last week at a cabinet meeting israel's defend minister and the prime minister got into

a screaming match over what to do next with the fill dellfy corridor, a strip of land between gaza and egypt. and currently, israeli forces are deployed throughout this area to prevent smuggling across the border and to secure this area. this is largely seen as a sticking point in the negotiations indirectly between israel and hamas. hamas says there are israeli forces there, they're not willing to accept a ceasefire deal. so israel's defense minister said, look, we need to get the hostages home, and we are willing to do whatever it takes even if that means temporarily removing forces from the area. benjamin netanyahu said he would not go for that, and the majority of the cabinet wail voted against the defense minister. again today, he called for another vote trying to get the cabinet to see if there is not a deal to remove israeli forces from the philadelphi corridor, the more than remaining 100 hostages will remain inside

gaza. pete: real quick, trey, is a cabinet vote binding? is that just for public consumption? how does that work? what does a vote mean? >> reporter: yeah. so it's how the decisions are made in israel at the military level, at this point in the war. remember, there was a specific war cabinet that actually the had members of the previous opposition within it. that was dissolved, and there is a larger cabinet now that's making most of the decisions about what to do with the war inside gaza. and i'm going to paraphrase what minister gallant said to the prime minister last week. he said to him, you're able to bring anything you want as prime minister to a vote in this cabinet including the execution of hostages. he wanted to make a point to the israeli prime minister that if they don't get a ceasefire deal now, this will cost the lives of israeli hostages. rachel: and that's exactly what happened, trey. i'm curious, you there in israel -- you're there in israel, what is the feeling of the israeli people? i know that there's a lot of consternation, a lot of debate.

there are those who say they want the military to do whatever it takes to get rid of hamas, to end that problem with that -- hamas, and then there are those who say we need to prioritize these hostages which include american citizens, israeli citizens and others from around the world. >> reporter: so the country is very divided on this issue, and it's part of the reason you've seen protests in the streets calling for a ceasefire if deal. but also there is a portion of this population, especially those who are supportive of the party of prime minister benjamin netanyahu that want the war to continue whether or not there is a deal to get the hostages i out. and just as we're speaking here, i got a text message from a senior hamas official commenting on what president biden said earlier today. the outrage that he expressed about the killing of these israeli hostages, and i'm just reading through the it here as we talk and i'm not going to read it to you because much of it is propaganda. but he blames president biden for supporting the israelis throughout this war.

and, look, hamas doesn't want to accept any responsibility for killing the hostages. they want to blame israel and the united states, but the reality is according to the idf if these hostages were actually executed in the recent days as israeli forces moves in -- moved in. and it gives you a sense of the pressure right now on these negotiations that are still ongoing at the working level in doha. there's a lot of pressure because if there is not a ceasefire agreement, it means the war continues and the hostages, dozen os this -- of them still alive inside gaza, their lives are at risk. joey: trey, real quick, i know you're just reading through that as a you're on tv, does hamas if ever deny the accusation that they were murdered or executed? does hamas deflect in that way? >> reporter: they do. and in this new book that i wrote, "black saturday," discussing the october 7th massacre, i actually yesterday senior hamas leadership about that morning, where we saw the massacre unfolding before our eyes, our cameras captured the

aftermath in the kibbutz. we saw what hamas did on that morning, yet the organization wants to pretend like it did happen. they sent us statements and videos claiming that they didn't kill civilians. that's simply a lie. joey: yeah. pete: one last thing trey. as it pertains to hamas, is it a functioning -- these negotiations, do we, what do we know about the extent to which hamas controls and knows where all the hostages are? are we really negotiating with one entity, or are there different wings that control different hostages with different incentive structures? how much does one person control these negotiations? >> reporter: it's a great question. and, look, the man in charge of negotiations for hamas is one of the masterminds behind the october 7th massacre. there were three of them, one was killed in an airstrike that israel conducted in southern gaza earlier this year, the political leader was killed in

tehran earlier this year. the only remaining a hamas official at the very top to have the chain to make decisions for the organization about the possibility of a ceasefire is a man who, according to israeli media reports, is surrounded in the tunnels beneath gaza with hostages. he understands that if he comes above ground by himself, he will be taken out in a targeted strike by the israelis, and it's part of the reason he has surrounded himself with hostages, because he wants to stay alive as long as possible. and, look, this is someone who previously was held in an israeli prison, he was released as part of a prisoner exchange in a 1,000 to 1 extraining, and there is some pressure about -- exchange. and there is some pressure about the exchange rate for hostages to palestinian prisoners, because they understand if they release top terror the leaders from israeli prison, some of them will go back to committing attacks against israel. rachel: trey, the hostage families, the ones that are remaining alive, pete mentioned probably from our last guest

probably about 50 of them they suspect, jonathan -- what was his name again? pete: conricus, estimate -- rachel: estimates about 50 of them. where are those families at now? where are they at? do they feel like their political organization and pressure on the government will have any positive outcome? if what's going to happen with them? >> reporter: the majority of the families of israeli hostages believe that their government has failed them. and it's t part of the reason they are in the streets calling for a ceasefire, because 331 is days into this conflict there are still more than 1000 israelis -- 100 israelis both dead and alive inside the gaza slip. ands the delaware the sating for this population. just last week we went to a funeral for a young 34-year-old who was at his home in a small community in southern israel when he was dragged along with his wife into the gaza strip. he is a man who loved animals

and music, and he was slaughtered. he was at home. and we went to that funeral, we talked tonight -- to the family from the days after black saturday, the days after the october 7th massacre. his mother and sister spent each and every day pleading with the government to cut a ceasefire deal. they spent each and every day calling for yagev's release, and the last time we saw the two of them they stood over his grave as they buried this young israe. and that is what so many families here are worried about, that they will have the same fate. they will be attending the funerals of hair loved ones. and that's why there's so much pressure on this situation. we talk about the numbers, we talk about 331 days into this war, the more than 100 toisraelis held inside if gaza, but each one of those members is a huge -- a human, it is a family member of someone, and they were dragged into gaza a against their will. and the decisions that are made by this government as we speak will have direct impacts on the

israeli people and the entire world that is watching what happens to this country. pete: frey, great reporting -- trey, great reporting. by the way, check out "black saturday," trey's book, gives you a better sense of where we are right now. rachel: thank you, trey. pete: when you think about that, so the are remaining leader of hamas was previously a prisoner -- joey: prisoner. pete: -- of israel's. they traded, israel traded a thousand for one, and now one of those thousand is in charge surrounded by other hostages and israel has to figure out what to do about it? weighing those political prerogatives of grieving families who understandably want that and a military that says if we don't finish it, it never ends? that's a really tough spot for israel and sad day in that country. joey: and, rachel, you asked about the families, where they are. and i kind of know where you're going to, are they blaming the israeli government for this? rachel: obviously, they're blaming hamas -- joey: not blaming, but are hay pressuring the government to say, you know, stop the offense

long enough to get our family home. that's a visceral and understandable reaction. rachel: totally. joey: you can sit as the prime minister and know you're in charge of the lives of millions, but if you're a family member, you're worried about the life of one, maybe two, and it's absolutely heartbreaking. we have a video of rachel goldberg-polin, hersh's mom, and this is just a few days before we got this news. let's listen. >> it's mama. hersh, it's day 328. we are all here. all the families of the remaining 107 hostages. hersh, we are working day and night, and we will never stop. i need you to know that i am giving you now the blessing i

give you every single morning when i pray for you and every friday night. i go out on the porch, and i put my hands up toward gaza, and i give you the kohonic blessing, may god bless you and keep you, may god shine his face upon you and be gracious to you. rachel: you guys, that is maybe one of the most heartbreaking things we've ever air ad on our -- aired on our show. i mean, she's praying, she's putting her hand towards gaza. that's -- by the way, that's an american hostage who was killed, and it's just -- pete: that's thursday, rachel. ing so if the account is accurate, hersh was alive -- rachel: at that time, yeah. pete: we don't know exactly how

the time unfolded, whether it was hours or days when they were executed before israeli troops could get there. he was potentially alive at this moment, and it also -- [laughter] when i think about what trey mentioned as far as the hamas leader in the tunnel surrounded by hostages? if it gives you an understanding of how many tunnels there are, if there are still tunnel thes, or are there tunnels that were cleared and they can't hold hem and so they're back in those tunnels? how complex it is. just sad. joey: yeah. this is one of the most definitive moments that has happened since october 7th, when you think about it. now the entire negotiation, the game is set differently because now we know they will absolutely kill these hostages when israel, when idf forces get close. so that's a difference in tactics. i mean, you understand that -- rachel: great point, joey. joe: when you go into rafah, if you don't go in, you don't have the intelligence to find the hostages. if you do go in, you risk hamas doing the worst, which is this. and you have to ask yourself

sitting there in benjamin netanyahu's cabinet, are we in between a rock and a hard plays. rachel: right. joey: and then you ask are they making the calculation that the lives of 50 versus the lives of millions or hundreds of thousands over the next how many years that hamas -- rachel: are you saying that you think the calculation now may be that if they're willing to execute these prisoners as soon as the israeli forces get close, that this increases the chances of a ceasefire negotiation? i wonder -- pete: yes, i think that's a fair insinuation. ray and i think that video we just showed of a mother praying over towards gaza, towards her son, these images are powerful and are going to pull at the heart strings of many israeli citizens who are already very conflicted about what we should do, what they should do as a country. pete: but again, it plays into hamas' hands -- joey: yes. pete: you have to acknowledge that. because of their savagery,

israel is forced to give in yet again to another demand, open up a crossing point. we'll give you 50 live hostages in exchange for 5,000 imprisoned. it's always a horrible deal because of the imbalance of that power dynamic. by the way, or joe biden apparently still running the show, and he was of in rehoboth beach where he's been camped out for quite some time, but he's been insisting that they're goes close to a ceasefire -- claire close to to a ceasefire deal. here he was yesterday talking about that deal. finish -- >> it's time this war ended. we should end this war. i think we're on the verge of having an agreement. it's just time to end it, time to finish it. if. >> reporter: why do you think you're on the verge of an agreement? [inaudible] >> still on the to mix because -- optimistic because the leaders of both have led, met in egypt, our people are continuing to meet, and we think we can close the deal. they've all said they agree on

the principles, so keep your fingers crossed. thank you. joey: if we're correct here, this is after, i believe, he knew that hostages had been killed, maybe before it was confirmed that it was an american, i believe. but i'm a little bit puzzled. he said the leaders on both sides have led and are -- i can't remember the last thing he said there, but basically starting to agree. what leaders? i mean, you have the hamas leader that's hid up in a tunnel that's ready to execute -- pete: and israel killed the other hamas leaders involved in the negotiations. joey: exactly. so, no, this is something that a lot of tentacles are stretching into. i'd like to know if they're communicating with iran at all trying to cut off support there. i'd love to know that we have leaders in this country who understand the leverage we can pull -- the levers webbing pull to end this war and do it in a way that supports israel rather than going to the first microphone available and saying

we have to have a ceasefire. rachel: we've been talking a lot about what should israel do and the debates happening within their country, you know, eliminating hamas versus saving the hostages, but the job of that man that you just saw on television, the current president of the united states who's running our government from a beach right now, is to save american lives. that are being held hostage in gaza. and i throughout this entire 300 and some days, i have not seen an emphasis on the fact that a there are american hostages. that young man that died is an american. i keep saying that because not that his life has more value over any of the other lives -- pete: well, it does for us -- rachel: but he is an american, and that's the job of our country, to be to get these people out. and i don't feel like our country has prioritized that because i don't hear them talking about it. joey: have you ever heard him say the names of the 13 americans lost in afghanistan? rachel: exactly. joey: i mean, he said laken riley's name at the state of the union because he was literally

heckled to, and when he did, he got it wrong. if they make it personal, they accept responsibility, and that's a bridge too far. rachel: you're so right, joey. all right. we're going to turn now to some other headlines starting with this, three people are dead after a plane crashed into a row of townhouses in portland, oregon, yesterday. officials say two people were onbore when the plane started going down -- onboard. one person on the ground was hit. the crash sparking a fire that destroyed three homes. the ntsb is investigating. texas dps discovering 17 migrants, illegals crammed inside of a hidden compartment in a fake lowe's truck just across the southern border on friday. an officer spotting one of the trailer's walls had new wood lining before uncovering the 3-foot section. officials say several illegals were suffering from dehydration and numbness in their legs. of course they were. authorities initially pulled

over the truck because of expired tags. the driver of the truck was taken into custody and was charged for smuggling. vice president harris and president biden will be hitting the campaign trail tomorrow in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, to try to rally union members in the battleground state. biden saying he is happy to get back on the campaign road. >> reporter: are you excited to campaign with the vice president? >> [inaudible] >> reporter: are you excited to campaign with the vice president? >> i am. rachel: this will be the first time that joe biden and kamala harris both shared the stage the on the campaign trail. and those are your headlines. pete: no one is running our government. right now. rachel: well, i wouldn't say that the. pete: more "fox & friends" in a moment.

pete: we're back with a fox news alert. this morning, heartbreak and outrage as america's best ally in the middle east, israel, confirms the murder of six hostages including one american. former israeli ambassador was in office when hamas kidnapped the hostages last october and joins us now from israel, galad, thanks for being here.

this detail, important detail, that hamas executed these hostages before they could be found, does that change the die name ec of how the israeli -- dynamic of how the israeli government thinks about continuing to try to crush hamas and the way in which they would attempt to get these hostages back? >> it doesn't change. on the contrary, it only strengthens our commitment to continue until we eradicate hamas totally. and i think that when this war started when hamas committed the atrocities on october 7th, there was a consensus. everyone understood it, even president biden said that we are fighting sheer evil, and hamas needs to be eliminated totally. but since then, sadly, the international community -- including the administration -- applied more and more pressure on israel to agree to a ceasefire. and, pete, now that a we've seen how they execute in cold blood

our civilians and there's a feeling of palpable sadness here in israel everywhere, so we should all understand this war shouldn't end. this -- we should win this war. we shouldn't end this war. ending this war now meaning that that we allow hamas to survive after the atrocities that they committed, and they'll be able to commit them again and again, and it will inspire iran and all its terrorist proxies in our region to continue with their crazy dream to annihilate israel. so this is the time for the international community, for the administration in america to understand that this no more pressure should apply on israel. we should encourage the israeli government to continue to increase the pressure on hamas until we hunt them down. pete: you mentioned that pressure from the outside from the biden administration.

well, kamala harris is part of it. back when she used to do interviews before she was the nominee, made the nominee, in march of this year she talked about to offensive in rafah, the very place where we're talking about right now. and we want to remind our audience of what kamala harris said in march. watch. >> we have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in rafah would be a huge mistake. let me tell you something, i have studied the maps. there's nowhere for those folks to go, and we're looking at about a million and a half people in rafah who are there because they were told to go there, most of them. and so we've been very clear that it would be a mistake move into rafah with any type of military operation. pete: what do you say to kamala harris who says that moving into rafah is a huge mistake? >> i think that applying

pressure if on israel not to enter rafah was a mistake because hamas is exactly like isis, like al-qaeda. when america was chasing al-qaeda or isis, nobody said, nobody told the america don't enter mosul or don't go after the terrorists wherever they are. if we have to be -- we have to be united when we fight against sheer evil. and for hamas, rafah is an important stronghold. that that's their lifeline as was explained here earlier. hamas dug, dig many, many tunnels there. they smuggle their weapons from egypt, they hide, sadly, our hostages in those tunnels so we had to go into rafah. all the, you know, prophesies about what would happen if we enter rafah were a mistake. we saw that there were no

civilian casualties in rafah. the terrorists continued to hide there. so, again, it was a mistake to apply pressure on israel, and from now on after we've with seen how they executed our civilians including an american hostage, we should all be united in supporting israel to chase and hunt down theseville terrorists, cruel terrorists. pete: yeah. i said it from day one, i hope israel kills every last member of hamas and in doing so gets every hostage back. >> each and and every one of them, and we should remember a ceasefire is a word that sounds positive, but a ceasefire means that that hamas can survive and get a free pass after what they have done, and that will be a terrible mistake. a ceasefire only if we should, if we maintain the possibility to to eradicate hamas and its leadership. pete: there you go.

gilad, thank you for your time this morning. good to see you. >> thanks for having me. pete: a tough day in israel. all right, another american hostage is killed by hamas. now biden-harris administration's foreign policy failures and how they could impact the escalating war, that's coming up. ♪ ♪ we always had dogs, they're like my best buddies. yep, had them my whole life. c'mon bo! so we got him and he is a, an absolute joy. daddy's puppy. once we got on the farmer's dog he just attacks it, it's incredible. they're so tuned into you and they have such, such personality. being without a dog, i don't know, can't imagine it.

joining us. explain what you mean by this changes everything, the fact there was an american that was executed. >> hi, joey. i wish i could wish you a good morning. it's a really tragic day here in israel and a tragic day, frankly, for americans around the world. six hostages that were being negotiated for amongst all of the hostages were summarily executed within the last 48-72 hours. and they were summarily executed by the group of people that are sitting on the op opposite side of the table in supposed good faith talking about negotiations for a ceasefire. and what we've heard since day one of this october 7th war is get to the a ceasefire, get to a ceasefire, get to a ceasefire without acknowledging the fact that there is nobody on the other side of the table with which to negotiate with. and an american has been killed amongst many other americans who have been killed, amongst many other hostages who have been killed x this administration continues to treat a maas as --

hamas as hoe they are a legitimate party at the table. joey: yeah. when you look at president biden's statement, we're getting mixed information on what he knew and what he didn't know when he gave the statement we were able to use, i was puzzled by his words. leaders on both sides seem to agree, and it sounds like a sense of legitimacy for hamas that we would never provide to similar enemies we've fought if over the last 20 years. is there a true tension now between the israeli government and the biden-harris administration that is a powder keg of its own? >> of course there is. at the dnc on the largest stage for the democrats, president biden said publicly and clearly that those out there have a point to be made. when he said those out there the have a point to be made were the people protesting in favor of hamas. what. point is it as they held americans hostage and have now killed yet another one? kamala harris, when she boycotted bibi's speech and has

repeatedly thrown a bone to the pro-hamas terrorist protesters, what bone is she throwing to them? this is a simple issue. there is a right side and there is a wrong side, and the administration seems puzzled in terms of which side they're supposed to be on. israel is not at all confused by which side that they need to be on over here, they are puzzled why their greatest ally is confused. joey: you know, president trump, when he's asked about he says very definitively he wants to end the war. he doesn't say a ceasefire, he wants to end the war, and he believes he could do it quickly. when you look at the biden-harris administration, they waffle. they pander to one group and another, they seem to contradict themselves at least in their rhetoric. how do you think all of this impacts the november election here in the united states? >> well, i'm not positive how it impacts the elections in november, but i know how the elections in november will impact the middle east. the middle east just four years ago was in the process of peace breaking out across the region,

5 peace tries in 123 days. since then, nothing but mayhem, disaster and chaos and, unfortunately now, tragic deaths. joey: yeah. >> what would happen with a trump administration is there will be a resumption of peace and prosperity throughout the renal. unfortunately, with a harris administration, we will see more of what's to -- what's occurred since october. 7th. joey: thank you for joining us. trump and rfk jr. taking on processed foods. dr. nicole saphier is going to explaint all right here next. as making a great assist. right, leo? claro que si. cool as a cucumber! assist! emergen-c crystals pop and fizz when you throw them back.

oil or given some salt. but then what a we're really talking about are those ultra-processed food which not only is changed from its natural state, but additives, chemicals, preservatives and even dye's and artificial flavors -- dyes are now being added to it. if you walk into your pantry and something has a shelf wife of more than a couple of weeks, that's probably ultra-processed, and that's what we're talking here. and the truth is, rachel, not all ultra-processed foods are equally bad for you, but the bottom line is it's all kind of bad for you. and so the messaging shouldn't be, well, they're not that bad. the messaging should be how can we get healthier, more nutritious foods into people's homes so they're not reliant on cheaper, unhealthier alternatives. rachel: right. and in this article this dietician talks about she's concerned that we're shaming people. and in particular hay talk about poor people, and she maybes the case that somehow -- first of all, we subsidize a lot of this ultra-processed food and,

transfer -- therefore, make it cheap for people who have tighter budgets on their food. that's a problem. but she also says we're shaming poor people, they can't afford it. they don't know how to make better choices. i found it very patronizing. it kind of reminded me when they say, oh, brown and black people are too poor and dumb to get a driver's license or id card before they vote. what do you say to that, and what do you say to, you know, making this affordable for every demographic as a societal goal? >> the harsh reality is ultra-processed foods have been linked to obesity, diabetes, cancer, dementia and early death. they are not healthy for you. i'm glad to hear make america healthy again is making a comeback, you mow that was my first book, but the subject title was how big government and bad behavior caused a trillion dollar crisis. and that's what we are dealing with. if you go into an american supermark, it is i'd --

supermarket, it is widely full of ultra-processed foods. if you look at italy, only 10% of their diet are these all there-processed foods, that's why they have lower chronic illness rates and have longer life spans. we need to do something, we need to make sure people have access to these healthier foods, and we can't just say it's shame ising them because they're having it. we need to educate them and make sure they have access. we need to support our farmers. make it so that farm to table is more affordable for people. our supermarkets need healthier options, and we need to do away with this big food industry that spends billions of dollars a year targeting a lot of these low income families by ways of saying that it's kind of healthy. it's not healthy. we need to do better. rachel: rfk jr. told me in an interview that we had that in italy, you brought up italy, if you're poor and you have government assistance for food, it works at the farmers' market, and that's the kind of stuff we can do. by the way or on shaming? i just shame ised pete hegseth
