breaking news this hour. there's a tentative deal to release some hostages held by hamas pending approval from israel's government according to a senior u.s. official. >> under the tentative agreement, now 50 hostages would be freed by hamas, in exchange israel would release 150 palestinian prisoners, four-day pause in fighting, a senior israeli official said there's an option to extend that pause by one day for every ten additional hostages release, allow for more aid trucks to enter gaza. >> there a total of more than 200 hostages including americans being held inside gaza, only four hostages have been released by hamas since they were captured during the terror attack on radioisrael back on october 7th. one israeli soldier taken hostage was rescued by the israeli military last month. the body of two hostages were found last week near the al shifa hospital in gaza. joining us now is david noriega
12:03 pm
and aaron gilchrist. israeli prime minister has been meeting with his cabinet for several hours today, talk about what the israeli government is saying about this deal? >> reporter: yes, so most of the government supports this deal, including the security establishment, the idf and the intelligence agency and the prime minister himself is trying to get this deal done but there opposition that comprise the right-wing, they don't have the numbers to sink the deal, still significant that there's opposition and this deal is not done until it's done. so we're all here in tel aviv anxiously awaiting the results of this meeting that the prime minister is having with his cabinet. >> aaron, the u.s. has been involved in these talks for weeks now, what is the u.s. saying about potential closing
12:04 pm
the deal. >> reporter: it's being very careful what they're saying on this deal. we had a briefing from the national security council spokesperson admiral john kirby, he said we're closer to deal than we have ever been, he wanted to confirm not to any of the details out there about that deal, as you can see on the screen here. he didn't want to say anything in these delicate hours as he described them, that might put the deal at risk and that's consistent with what the administration has been saying, what the president has been saying over the last several days that it's a very delicate time the president earlier today saying that things are looking good at the moment but adding that a deal is not done until it's done. and then we'll hear much more about what's in it from the white house anyway. >> dave, you been hearing from families of the hostages. you're outside an area where those families are gatherering and have been speaking out.
12:05 pm
what are they telling you about this agreement? >> reporter: yeah, it's really complicated mix of emotions, a lot of the families aren't speaking to press right now, they've been advised by the government. they're kind of holed up waiting for the final decision to come down, however i have spoken to a couple of family members specifically of adult male, people not likely to be released as a result of this round of negotiations, so it's a really -- again, complicated set of feelings, the families all support the deal, they want to see as many hostages releases as possible. so, very intense, very contradictory, extremely anxious night in tel aviv. kate and zinhle. >> aaron, there are american hostages among the hostages but it's unclear right now whether they might be released in this group of 50 to be released, what
12:06 pm
is the white house saying about where talks go next on freeing the remaining hostages? >> well, they want to give the israelis and hamas the room to finish this deal, they want them to be able to say yes on both sides and then sort of talking to us anyway about what comes next the national security council spokesperson saying that after the deal is agreed to in total by both parties then we would start to see some of the processing put in place to execute the deal and moderate it, he said, too, we should expect that this is going to be a slow process, to make sure that there aren't any safety risks for people who are being released, both hostages and prisoners potentially from the israelis and saying for some of the hostages we don't know what condition they may be in, people quickly moved and running from one place to another we shouldn't expect. they want to keep anyone safe
12:07 pm
once the deal is done. >> definitely lot of eyes on this one. aaron gil christ in d.c. and david in tel aviv, thank you so much. let's talk with andrea mitchell, thanks for being with us on this big day. i know president biden has said it's very close, what kind of work do you know about this work being done behind the scenes? >> reporter: a lot of work for many weeks, starting when secretary blinken was in the region, shuttling back and forth following up with others from the national security council going in, bill burns went in, talked to his counterpart the intelligence officials in qatar, qatar is the intermediary. has been very, very important and the one announcing this. although we could expect leaks out of israel as well. the israeli war cabinet and the security group and then the larger group is meeting and we
12:08 pm
do know as reported by the correspondent in israel that there were some dissenters from the hard right but the prime minister is believed to have the votes, that said there are a lot of issues here that have to be resolved, first of all, there could be a waiting period, 24-hour period where israeli victims of terrorism have the right to appeal to the israeli supreme court saying that their loved ones who were killed or wounded or injured in some way by the terrorists, should allow the release of that terrorist from the palestinian prisoners held in israel. if it's going to be somewhat like 50 hostages released in groups, not all at one time. women and children held in israel. the victims of that terrorism would have the right to first
12:09 pm
appeal and hold up that person or persons from being released. that said, logic would have it if it's women and children being release on the the palestinian side as well as the hostage side, women and children, prisoners in israel it's not likely that would be the terrorists, prisoners involved with violent crime. does that make sense? >> yes, it does. >> maybe there wouldn't be that long of a wait. in any case as the hours progress the time difference late at night would be difficult to make a secure transfer believe to do independently by the red cross. has safely transported hostages before. >> andrea, you talked about different groups of hostages being released, potentially at a time, do we know if any of the americans helped captive in gaza are part of this current hostage
12:10 pm
deal? >> that's another point of confusion. one statement from the israeli side that no foreign hostages would be released. it would be israeli americans but not foreign hostages. there are some, you know, from other countries involved in that group of approximately 240, that said a lot of the americans who are over there and taken from that kibbutz are americans who also have israeli citizen ship and not releasing male idf, male military hostages, that's what hamas has said. so, again, these are details that still might change. also, the whole issue of the pause, israel saying they believe now agreed to maybe a four-day, five-day pause. it's not a cease-fire technically. part of the deal would be no drone coverage over southern israel. in particular.
12:11 pm
which has been, you know, terribly difficult for the palestinians who have been evacuated and displaced in the south there could be a suspension of the israeli drone flight. at the same time, i interviewed an israeli spokesman today who was very clued in on this they'll proceed with the fight against hamas in south and they're saying there are safe passages, safe and secure areas, i said but without fuel they haven't cell service for a long time, they don't know where to go. in fact there have been strikes in those so-called safe areas in the south. a big piece of this according to the u.s. is going to be humanitarian aid getting in during those pauses and john kirby was saying today so far it's been farless than what
12:12 pm
preceded the war. now it's down to maybe 50. not near the 150 that's the bare minimum. they want to ramp that up especially the fuel for the hospitals and for the generators to run the cell service. >> andrea mitchell out of washington, d.c. with the latest analysis, thank you so much. coming up the cdc said we're not at the height of flu season and we're seeing more than a million cases here in the u.s., how you can keep you and your how you can keep you and your family healthy as gather for the [coughing] copd hasn't been pretty. it's tough to breathe and tough to keep wondering if this is as good as it gets. but trelegy has shown me that there's still beauty and breath to be had. because with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy keeps my airways open and prevents future flare-ups.

12:47 pm
nameless american indians where they came together and had a feast and ate and gave thanks in peace. this story was really sparked by a letter that was found in the 1800s and it was found at a time where the country needed to come together again and so it sort of resurfaced and fueled the imagination about this event and really kind of separated fact from fiction because it became part of our national nostalgia and sort of this mythical story. and there are a few things that are sort of problematic about that story. i mean, it's a wonderful story, you know, sort of depicted in a warm and fuzzy way, but we need to do is look at this row mant sized interpretation. one of those being, and not really taught, is that the neighbors had been interacting
12:48 pm
