5:05 am
northern gaza to the south for the next several hours. israel isn't stopping its air strikes and many today are focusing on southern gaza where israel has told palestinians to go. medical officials tell nbc news an israeli air strike friday struck a convoy as it was trying to head south from gaza city killing 70 palestinians and wounding 200. most of them women and children. 1 million palestinians now face an impossible choice. stay in northern gaza and face a possible israeli incursion or flee to the south as refugees and maybe get bombed on the way. this is a 22-year-old dental student. >> there are no shelters. all of bathrooms are closed. they cut off the internet. we are living in times that never existed in any humanity. this aggression needs to be over. palestinian life matter.

5:08 am
thanks. >> we are joined by jeremy bash. former chief of staff at the cia and martin fletcher. a former nbc news bureau chief. so happy to have your expertise here. jeremy, first to you. this invasion is all but certain and imminent. talk about the challenging with hostages trying to be rescued and hamas has gone underground into tunnels. talk about how israel goes about this. >> israel has to create a detailed map of gaza city. green is places where you can go and red places they will not go because that is suspected hostages and yellow. each operation will be governed. israel will comb through interrogations and intercepts.
5:09 am
these are targeted ground operations informed by intelligence. this is not shock and awe rolling through with bulldozers trying to raze the place. this is a careful ground operation. >> martin, this is already a massive humanitarian crisis in gaza. they will not let the people come into israel. egypt kept its border closed to the individuals. why wouldn't egypt let them in? >> they are supposed to go south out of danger. wherever they go, they will be in danger. 1 million people on the roads going south is only 25 miles. it is all from the northern tip of gaza to the southern tip of gaza. 25 miles. there is nowhere to go. it is not like they have families in different towns to stay in that area. people's families tend to stay in one place. they have no shelter. they have a beach. they can camp out on the beach.
5:10 am
they can go to the fields. hamas has told them don't leave your homes. israel knows this. israel knows and says everybody leave. israel knows there is nowhere to go. israel is trying to clear the battle field and gain the moral high ground. they can say sorry we told you to leave. you knew there was a war coming. it is not our fault. there will be terrible killing ahead. >> jeremy, i want to ask about the conversations in the middle east. we know top american officials are meeting with israeli counterparts. and secretary of state antony blinken was in qatar. that is hope to the top political leadership of hamas. you have been in conversations like these. what are the conversations sound like? what are they doing to prevent this from escalating? >> peter, in private, what the arab leaders are telling the united states is let israel do
5:11 am
this. let them finish hamas off. we don't want the muslim brotherhood menacing our region. these are all proxies of iran. this is important to have the terrorist organizations emboldened and empowered. they won't say that publicly, but that is what they say privately. >> martin, you have so much expertise. this is the worst attack since the holocaust. how do you think this affected the mindset in israel? >> traumatized it. israelis are traumatized and shocked with the bestiality of the acts of hamas in the civilian homes. pulling people from their beds and shooting them in their beds, but also a sense of vulnerability. the army wasn't there. the police wasn't there. there were jews in their homes
5:12 am
in the southern most kibbutz who were attacked for hours before anybody with a gun came to help them. imagine you are home and there is no one to help you. they are traumatized and angry and they want revenge against the palestinians. after the war, there will would be a serious political and military reckoning in israel. >> something tells me we need you back here. martin fletcher and jeremy bash, thank you. thank you. the white house is closely monitoring the situation. the president on friday spoke with the families of 14 americans still unaccounted for which are either missing or believed to have been taken hostage by hamas. the biden administration is working to find their loved ones. we have allie raffa with more. >> reporter: good morning, peter. as they brace for the ground

5:14 am
palestinians and in an already reeling gaza, peter. >> we know the secretary and secretary of state are in the region meeting with the leaders. what more do we know? >> reporter: the u.s. is working with israel and egypt and jordan and surrounding nations to evacuate civilians who want to leave. the state department's first flight carrying citizens left friday with more flights to follow. the senior state department official says efforts to allow palestinian americans out of gaza through the border with egypt are ongoing. peter. >> allie raffa, thank you so much. also this morning, security is being stepped up at jewish places of worship around the country with many on high alert after a former hamas leader called for a global day of rage against israel on friday. nbc's george solis is outside

the temple on the upper east side of manhattan. george, good morning. >> reporter: laura, good morning. we have seen the security stepped up. the nypd asking all officers to report in uniform. at the moment, officials are monitoring a lot of online chatter about retaliation against israel, but nothing specific at the moment. communities nationwide on high alert following the former head of hamas calling for the day of rage which did not lead to any attacks, but it did lead to demonstrations against israel. images like we saw in iraq and greece. the community has been put to the test like the demonstrations on times square yesterday. both sides chanting messages. these protests have been tense,
5:16 am
but peaceful. we have been getting reports of arrests during the demonstrations. the nypd has been using a number of resources and foot patrols and drones and choppers to keep an eye on the demonstrations which are tense, but peaceful. despite these resources, guys, the nypd and law enforcement across the country is asking the public to stay vigilant and if you see something, say something. guys. >> george, thank you so much. kristen welker will have more tomorrow on all of this on "meet the press." among her guests are jake sullivan. now to washington and congress in chaos. 11 days since house republicans ousted kevin mccarthy as speaker and they can't agree on anyone to replace him. on friday, fierce trump supporter jim jordan emerged as the frontrunner, but it is unclear if he has the votes to face the challenges abroad and here at home.
5:17 am
nbc's ali vitali is in washington with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, peter. another week of tummult. jim jordan is the nominee after the closed-door meetings. the road for any speaker is a fraught one needing 217 votes on the floor. since republicans hold a slim margin in the house, jordan or anyone else, could only afford to lose four republican votes. that is why steve scalise ended his bid on thursday which was 24 hours after nominated by the party and dropping out after realizing he would not get to the number of 217. now the gop is looking to jim jordan. the firebrand of the right. he may have his own numbers problems. republicans left town last night telling me they are frustrated this is what they're party's majority has evolved into.
5:18 am
they will come back on monday and try again to see if a weekend away can bring the gop in d.c. to a better place. while they wait, the landscape intensifies. as long as there is not speaker, the house cannot move legislation on israel related money or humanitarian aid. peter, laura. >> nothing of the time ticking away to the possible government shutdown. ali vitali, thanks. it is time for a first check of the forecast. let's turn to meteorologist angie lassman for that. >> good morning. another rainy one for the northeast. you have to go back six weeks to see dry conditions for new york city and philadelphia. we have the rain working in and stretched across the midwest. chicago and detroit waking up wet this morning. the rain will push through today. the good news is on the back side of the system which happens here as we get into tomorrow, it will be drier across the region. it is not a completely rainy weekend for folks in the area.
