israel-gaza border report report this morning the evacuation of 28 communities has been ordered waiting for a way out of the war zone palestinians with foreign passports, including hundreds of american citizens are gathered this morning at the rafah border crossing into egypt. militarily israeli troops are ready to attack and are lined up on the border with gaza. but after appearing imminent, israel seems to be taking its time as diplomacy moves to center stage and amid quiet back channel negotiations to free the hostages captured by hamas israel today said 199 hostages, more than previously announced, were taken into gaza their relatives appealing for humanity the group even kidnapped babies. >> i don't know if he got his

food, his formula. >> reporter: israeli officials say air strikes in gaza won't stop until hamas is driven from power completely but that could be difficult without israel imposing a new government for two million people president biden on "60 minutes" advised against that. >> i think it would be a big mistake. look, what happened in gaza, in my view, is hamas and the extreme elements of hamas don't represent all the palestinian people. >> reporter: in gaza the humanitarian crisis is worsening. around 600,000 palestinians have followed israel's orders according to the israel army to evacuate northern gaza, which is expected to bear the brunt not everyone can leave like the 22 children in an orphanage in gaza city. tweflt 12 are disabled they are being cared for by two

adults after the rest of the staff left for safer areas ias is 9 years old he's blind and has profound disabilities maria is 7 years old and can only scoot these children can't get out of the way of a coming ground war many palestinians have been frightened to leave northern gaza after an explosion on friday killed 70 people as they were trying to make it to safety over the weekend, israel said it wasn't responsible for that attack it accused hamas of planting a bomb in the road to prevent them from leaving northern gaza so they would stay in the area to be human shields. >> richard, thank you very much. let's bring in jeremy bash and the former supreme allied commander of nato. good morning to both of you. it is so heartbreaking to see the situation unfolding in this

area admiral, it seems that these israeli forces have been poised, quite literally at the border waiting to go in for several days, but there seems to be a pause. how do you explain that? >> first, it is an enormous and complex operation. so i'm not surprised the israelis are really taking their time they've got 350,000 troops mobilized, savannah. as a point of comparison, in afghanistan we had 150,000 so it is a big military operation. but i think more importantly what you are seeing is the israelis doing everything they can to minimize collateral damage, to ensure that the gazan population has the maximum amount of time possible to get out of gaza city as richard said 600,000 have already done so. i'm sure israel would be glad to give another day. see another 200,000, 300,000 get out.

>> the flip side of that is that that gives hamas time to prepare and literally go underground. >> and hamas is literally taking care of their own people they told the gazans to stay put because they want human shields. this will be a complex operation for israel it will be intelligence driven. >> what about the humanitarian situation? because, of course, there is two ways in and out of gaza. one is to israel the other is via egypt egypt has said it doesn't want to open the gates to have a flood of refugees. they literally have nowhere to go. >> egypt is the contiguous land border there. egypt could take care of several hundred thousands of these palestinian refugees. the u.s. is pressing the egyptian government hard to do this. so far they have not said yes. >> with these carrier groups have been brought to bear into

this region. just the announcement of another group, eisenhower, the carrier group, to be stationed there. what is the -- it is not just a symbolic show of force. what is the mission there? >> first of all, yes, i commanded enterprise carrier strike group very similar to this. each one of these strike groups, we have ford and eisenhower, named for two american presidents, will be on station together very shortly. ike, eisenhower is on the way. the mission would be to go after hamas. excuse me, to go after hezbollah if iran gave the green light to hezbollah to begin launching missiles to the south. mission one, deter iran, go after hezbollah if necessary. mission two, pretty obviously american hostages. if there is something the israelis need us to do, then we

would do it in support of hostage rescue. that includes americans, savannah. >> how about iran, jeremy? scary rhetoric coming out of the regime. jake sullivan suggesting they haven't seen actions, overt actions meddling. and we heard the president's warning don't do it. >> yeah. but there had been skirmishes along the israeli border. so there are civilians on the move on both sides of the border. if hezbollah unleashes a series of rockets, you can expect retaliation. >> 199 hostages including americans still there. >> elderly, disabled, americans. we have never had to support an ally fighting a war underground. >> thank you for both for your perspective this morning. we saw an emotional homecoming overnight for more than 270 americans just evacuated from israel. they were flown to tampa, florida.

this morning they are opening up about their experiences. dasha burns joins us with more on all of this. hi, dasha. good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda. good morning. most major airlines canceled flights in and out of israel. but here in florida the desantis administration launched aen an evacuation operation. we heard their stories. today more than 270 americans evacuated from israel are back in the united states. arriving in tampa overnight on the first flight to return to the u.s. in an operation organized by florida governor ron desantis. >> it is very emotional to be here and be away from all of that. >> reporter: 91 of the passengers arriving last night were children. >> these kids are having to dodge rockets. these kids are having terrorists come after them, not the way this world should be. >> reporter: he spent most of the last week huddled in a jerusalem bomb shelter with their toddler. can you describe the level of

fear right now, the level of fear that you had while you were in israel and the level of fear in your community? >> so on a physical sense, we're very thankful that we're here. we're very blessed that we have a governor that got us here. god took care of everything. but on an emotional level, it is overwhelming to be in a situation where you have a fear of your life. >> reporter: for many the homecoming is joyful, but the heartache isn't over. she was in tel-aviv when the war began. >> it is so much heartbreak to leave everything so suddenly and everything you love. i haven't gotten to say good-bye to a single person. my cousin is on the front lines of gaza, you know. >> reporter: still many more americans stranded having a hard time getting out. this is all part of an executive order that allowed the state to carry out this operation.

it was a partnership with project dynamo which is a veteran-led search and rescue nonprofit. there are more flights expected today and throughout the week bringing americans home to this state. >> dasha burns for us there in tampa. thank you. as the war escalates in the middle east, president biden is warning of an increased threat in the u.s. as security is ramped up here, we have also seen tensions and protests erupt in cities across the country. stephanie gosk is covering that angle of the story for us this morning. stephanie, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. you know, the security concerns are really mounting on two fronts. on the one hand, law enforcement is concerned that terror groups might use this opportunity to stage attacks here. they are also concerned that the anger that is mounting in this country could turn into violence. a six-year-old palestinian-american boy was stabbed to death in his home in illinois. police in that state saying they

believe it is a hate crime. this morning, rising safety concerns here in the u.s. >> there is no question we're seeing an increase in reported threats. >> reporter: fbi director christopher wray asking for vigilance, warning hamas could exploit the violence in the middle east to plot attacks here in the united states while concerns rise that anger here at home may be spilling into violence. in illinois, a palestinian-american boy is dead and his mother in serious condition. a landlord repeatedly stabbed the muslim family renting his home in a deadly attack related to the israel-hamas war. >> the female is claiming that the landlord has the child in another room and apparently is stabbing or has stabbed the child. >> reporter: joseph czuba is now behind bars facing murder and hate crime charges for the father, the grief is overwhelming. >> he was such a pleasant boy. he was a sweetheart. he loved his ipad. he loved games he loved watching the cartoons

he was our world >> it is like a dream. i still don't believe my son is gone. >> reporter: it comes as law enforcement nationwide stepped up security at jewish places of worship. >> there is a lot of fear. >> reporter: since hamas terrorists attacked israel, reports of anti-semitic incidents spiked 300% since last year, according to the antidefamation league. tens of thousands rallied holding vigils for the victims in israel. >> we are protesting we're walking proudly with the star of david. >> reporter: pro-palestinian supporters also taking to the streets. marchers in atlanta demanding an end to the violence. >> we want to stop this. >> reporter: president biden reacted to that terrible stabbing in illinois of the little boy saying, in his words, calling it a horrific act of hate that has no place in america.

savannah >> stephanie, thank you very much. we do have a lot more to get to, including the search for the next speaker of the house. republicans aiming to hold a floor vote tomorrow. but here's the question. can they drum up enough support for the newest nominee garrett haake joins us with the latest how optimistic are republicans about this >> reporter: they're optimistic they can get started, but not optimistic they can finish this process tomorrow when lawmakers left town friday, there were still roughly 50 republicans that said they were not prepared to support jim jordan he can only afford to lose 4 he has the support of former president trump and the party's right wing but some of the more moderate members say they don't trust him and his campaign may be pushing those lawmakers further away from him we'll get a better idea of all this when lawmakers come back

into town later tonight. >> what happens if the republicans fail on this one >> reporter: well, there is no consensus planned for the next step forward some republicans may want to just keep failing, just keep holding votes to try to keep the pressure up. it is also possible we will see still more republican candidates step forward as potential speakers and then there is the democratic side of this leader hakeem jeffries said on "meet the press" yesterday the democrats would potentially be willing to help, possibly in exchange for concessions like making it easier to take up bipartisan bills that would include aid to israel, which the white house is expected this week which congress can't do anything about until they solve this speaker's mess now nearly two weeks in. >> garrett, thank you. 17 minutes after the hour. let us get our first check of the weather from mr. sunshine. >> good morning, ladies. and good morning to you. hope you had a good weekend to start your week off right. if you are in the plains, frost and freeze advisories, freeze warnings as well garden city 30

the u.s. attorney's office has not confirmed that information but, guys, there was a plea and sentencing hearing scheduled for this wednesday with joran van der sloot. in just two days, joran van der sloot will appear in court again. the prime suspect in natalee holloway's disappearance for years, never charged with her murder but he was extradited to the u.s. months ago, accused of attempting to extort the holloway family. he pleaded not guilty. but according to the holloway family attorney, the court will consider a plea deal this week with a major contingency. >> it was conditioned upon mr. van der sloot revealing details of how natalee holloway died and how her body was disposed of. >> reporter: kelly expects the detailed narrative of how natalee holloway died to be revealed in court this week.

denying any such deal. while in northern israel, authorities are evacuating townr this morning isr at the lebanon border. this morning israel is bracing for battle, on the brink of a likely ground invasion of gaza after the hamas terror attack that killed at least 1,300 people, including 30 americans with gaza reeling with hundreds of air strikes, antony blinken back in israel in search of diplomatic solutions, trying to get americans trapped in gaza out. boarding a cruise ship to ferry them to safety in cyprus, dragging suitcases and carrying children through a country at war. families started showing up here at the port of haifa early morning hoping to get a spot on that ship. officials tell me it could fit about 2,500 people

have to do to clear out hamas. but the end game, the onlye weakened s realistic end game is for hamas to be weakened so much militarily and politically that they become a weak government in gaza the idea of the israeli's netanyahu saying we will destroy hamas. they won't exist as a force, it is just unrealistic. it is an idea. they're supported by so many of the people but the idea of destroying hamas is a bit of a pipe dream. >> and then who runs gaza? but how do you contain this so it doesn't become a regional war. you have iran, hezbollah in the north, too the fear is there would be a two-front war that other countries would line up and that we would have a much broader conflict how do you stop that from happening? >> well, we're on the very abyss of exactly that. and the problem is that half the people in israel don't support

the government, frankly. i mean, they don't trust the prime minister netanyahu one of the opposition leaders, a former chief of staff, defense minister into the government is kind of a balancing measure. so they're trying to improve the quality of the security cabinet in israel. but the idea that benjamin netanyahu is going to manage this successfully, well, you know, let's hope so because the threat of hezbollah coming in from the north, 150,000 rockets with two and a half thousand highly accurate rockets aimed at israel supported -- and supported by iran, what are the american warships going to do off the coast of israel? presumably they are there to fee tear iran. and if iran and hezbollah attack, what do the america of americans do are they on the edge of joining

and i think, just like we were talking about, there is so many of us that hold so much. you know, specifically women and feeling like we're going to be criticized. >> yeah, can't say anything. >> judged. you can't say anything and the beautiful part about it is this whole journey, as difficult as it's been, has just brought will and i closer in such an authentic way, you know. instead of trying to be a thing, it's like just tearing all that down and finding what's true between us. >> wow. >> and it's been beautiful it's been difficult. >> it's been difficult. >> but beautiful. >> because one thing people were confused about was really, okay, hang on. they have been divorced in theory but not on paper. >> yes. >> they've been -- they were not together but kind of pretended they were together so i had trouble articulating exactly why that was so now that you have had more time. >> right. >> why was that? >> we really needed time to get

solidified because at the end of the day, will and i love each other we had to figure out what we wanted before we went into the world to say what was going on because we were in such, you know -- we were just kind of in this very fragile place. so now we're just super solid. >> yeah. >> and so now i can actually talk about what the journey has been. >> so will talked to "the new york times" or gave a statement. this is what he says this is from "the times" itself. the memory will smith in an e-mail kind of woke him up she'd lived the life more on the edge than he had realized. and this is the quote. when you have been with someone for more than half your life he wrote, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and all you can do -- and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties it sounds like an emotional blindness, he didn't see you

is that kind of what it was? >> i think, yeah, that's so universal in relationships he didn't see me, and i didn't see him, right so we kind of had to go our separate ways to see each other, you know because when you are in a relationship and you're kind of just pulling at that person to be something for you, you refuse to see them. >> uh-huh, uh-huh. >> so we had to go our separate ways to really look at ourselves and see the blocks that we had in order to find a way back. >> one part that was very sensitive with you, and it was very touching to me that you had gone through it, but you talked about the idea that you were maybe going to kill yourself. >> yeah. >> that you felt like you were not -- your kids would have been better off, will would have been better off, everyone would have been better off without you. what did you think when you saw that part of your story told in that way >> well, i have talked to them about it they knew that, yeah, they knew

before the interview came out. but i was talking to my mother the other day. and everybody knew that i was very unhappy, but just couldn't figure out why because everybody thought how i thought. you have got everything. what is wrong with you because i didn't know what was wrong with me either you have to remember during that time, no one was really talking about mental health. i just didn't understand and nobody around me understood. >> the other thing people asked me is you talked about how you were at the brink and then something -- you took something, and it changed you, and it was ayahuasca for you. >> yeah. >> ayahuasca really was -- >> that was the turning point. >> that turned you from the brink of suicide. >> and i never had a suicidal thought again. now, in saying that, ayahuasca is not for everybody and i want to be really clear about that you have to really have someone who is very trained to guide yo-

through that it was a very extreme, you know, situation for me but i swear, i'm so grateful that i went through it because in four days and four excruciating nights, but on the other side -- >> and you never had a suicidal thought since then >> never. >> the title of your book is "worthy. today as we sit here on this couch -- >> i feel worthy i have just been through so much and when you can really look at your life -- we think that life is supposed to be perfect. when life isn't perfect, we think, oh, i'm not worthy. then something is wrong with me. that's not what it is about. we get challenged with life in order to keep building our self-worth, to keep finding our greatness, you know? that's what the book is about, it is about that journey. >> if you find another great love or if will finds another great love -- >> there is no finding another great love and i think that's the point

it's like we are in a place now that we are in a deep healing space, and we are really concentrating on healing the relationship between us. >> so it may not be the divorce on paper anymore. >> there is no divorce on paper. >> not on paper. there might not be a divorce in theory anymore >> yeah. no we really have been working hard. >> oh! okay well, i didn't know that. >> that's the point i was trying to tell you. >> you totally missed that that's the whole thing. >> so wait just so i'm 100% sure. you were divorced not on paper. >> right. >> but now we might be a point where we're back together? >> we are working very hard at bringing our relationship -- yes, bringing our relationship back together. >> back to a marriage again. >> back to a life partnership, yes. because here's the thing about -- >> tell me. >> husband-wife marriage for me, for my healing process i came into that with very

specific ideas, right? very specific ideas that were blocks to me just seeing will who he is he can't be this perfect idealized husband. >> yes, yes, of course. >> i have to be able to accept him for the human he is. he accepts me for the human that i am, and we want to love each other there. >> okay. so you might live in the same house and have this -- >> yeah. >> okay. >> hoda, that's the only part. that's the only part of the special that i felt like i lost. i was like, hold up. >> we found it today we found it today. jada, thank you so much. i really appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> check out the book "worthy," it has a lot of life lessons on it and it tells you so much about your life story, so much in here about how you raise your children, your life before them. it's full of richness. thank you so much. the book is out tomorrow. all right. mr. roker? >> we landed the plane, baby boom all right.

welcome back as the war between israel and hamas rages on and devastating images continued to be shared on television and social media. experts say it is really important to have an honest conversation with the kids here with family advice is clinical psychologist dr. jennifer hartstein my first question to you is you

have a 9, 6-year-old, a 4-year-old like we do, do you bring it up or wait until they bring it up? >> you might not want to bring it up and chances are they're learning about it, hearing about it or seeing it somewhere. so you can bring it up in a casual way hey, there is a lot going on in the world. have you heard anything? they may say no. if you hear anything, come to me and let's talk about it. but we often sit back and let them come to us, where on this one you want to get ahead of it and talk about it first. >> i feel like there is so much information that we're all getting from all over the world that our brains can only process so much anyway. >> yes. >> it didn't used to be that way. it wasn't like every conflict in every corner of the world hit you in your heart, but it is happening. so teenagers are a place where i think it is very kind of fertile ground they need to talk about it. getting a teenager is talk is next to impossible for them, for teenagers who may

know what's going on, how do you approach >> sit down with them and say, hey, i know what is going on you are bombarded on social media. >> i don't want to talk about it. >> you can be like, i know you don't want to. show me where you are getting your news. tell me what you are looking at. can you tell me what you're learning make it about them. >> you teach me. >> so that you're kind of learning more. as a parent, you want to protect them, so you have to get that info from them and learn what's going on. >> a lot of schools certainly in israel put out advice saying keep your kids off social media, warning about videos that may surface on various social media. what do you think about that advice >> i think it's great advice to hoda's advice, it could be really impossible. so i think it is so important that we lead by example, we minimize what it is, we say to them, look, i want you to spend some time off your phone i want you to put it down.

show me when things get overwhelming so we can talk it through because these are creating trauma reactions for all of us. then we're in heightened space, and that's hard to navigate. >> what if we see our teen or child changing we know it's got something to do with what's going on they're not talking about it are there things we can do to talk about it without addressing that >> yes i don't think we should be afraid to directly address it. i notice that you seem more irritable or more overwhelmed. i'm concerned about you. tell me what's going on. for teens we know irritability, increased frustration, some anxiety, some depression maybe they don't want to go to school, those kinds of things. if we put it on the table as something that's not a big deal to talk about, you might have a better shot because they feel seen and heard by you. >> the truth is, even little kids like ours, somehow it gets through. they do know ask open-ended questions is a good way to start. thank you so much. coming up next, an inspiring story from joe fryer he will introduce us to the friendly faces that have been
