but one of the most difficult blows, as we were hearing from the admiral of the israeli defense forceshat israeli defense forces, is that israeli authorities do not know for sure which of those 33 are alive or dead. they say that they believe that many, most, are alive, but i think there is also an expectation that even in the next six weeks, even in the first phase of this deal, at some .i of these moments of release will involve the handover not of life hostages, but of the bodies of hostages. that is something that we will wait and watch as phase one of this deal moves through, as people hope it will move into phase ii and phase three with an eventual end to the war and an eventual end to the war and an eventual end to the war and an eventual reconstruction of gaza. we are still showing you these life pictures here of southern israel, you can see the various vehicles moving about there. we know that this is where the women have been taken to, that is the focus of the action at the moment before they are then moved to hospital, where they will be cared for and they will spend on indi

we urge the israeli defense forces to withdraw. last year as clearly demonstrated a significant presence of unauthorized armed personnel related to hezbollah and other nonstate armed groups in violation of resolution 1701. the lebanese armed forces have shown increased resolve in recent weeks. there has been 116 cachets of weapons discovered. it has also observed some potential sites. the lebanese armed forces. it is vital the lebanese authorities continue to actively fulfill the commitment to the agreement and resolution 1701. the secretary-general underscores this message in his meetings with lebanon's newly elected president, speaker of parliament and prime minister in beirut tomorrow. at the same time, operational activities to support in-line with its mandate under resolution 1701. we certainly hope with the new political -- political dynamics, more support will be forthcoming as we move forward to fully fulfill the mandate. the mission is working with united nations headquarters and countries to deploy strength and capacities.

tomorrow morning, sunday morning, 8:30am local time, announced by the qatar ease and the israeli defense forces. it is a ceasefire that is due to end 15 months of war that has killed at least 16,000 people in gaza, according to local officials, and of course was prompted by the 7th of october attacks here in israel that killed 1200 people and took some 250 people hostage it. the announcement of the start of the ceasefire deal was made by the qatari foreign ministry in a statement on social media. they said that the parties had agreed that the ceasefire would begin on sunday morning. and also, they weren't inhabitants to take precaution, exercise the utmost caution and wait for directions from official sources. after hours of discussion, the israeli cabinet gave final approval to the ceasefire and hostage release deal with hamas. the cabinet meeting lasted more than six hours, with some ministers who had threatened to resign arguing the agreement rewards hamas. the first hostages are due to be released as early as sunday, under the first phase of the it isa it is a three stage ceasefire deal, th

when iran sought to strike israel twice it was the united states that helped israeli defense forces defendks. when israel decimated hezbollah the united states backed israel up us to do that. when assad fell and fled the country it was the united states efforts with israel that weakene d iran and russia that prevented him from being able to come to his rescue, so come off so all of its friends and partners in a fundamentally weaker place and felt like it needed to make a deal. this came at a ginormous -- enormous humanitarian cause. every conversation we have had with israeli officials to increase the amount of assistance, and that is the most important part of this deal. there will be a significant increase in relief to people in gaza who badly need it. geoff: why did president biden push netanyahu to lessen the civilian costs in gaza? >> the thing that was holding back the stoppage of the violence and the halting of the fighting was that there was a deal on the table the president announced as far back as the may, that details of which were continuously refined that israel accepted and h

we hadn't had nasrallah decimated, hezbollah on the run, assad was in syria, the israeli defense forcesut israel in a better position to negotiate and to be able to use president trump's push in order to get it done, but there is another thing really important. in that first deal, they said that israel would have to declare an end to the war. in the cease-fire agreement they do not have to say that. that's an important thing for them, for their psyche, especially because as these hostages start to come out, first of all, we have to all understand many of them are deceased, so you are going to get bodies back. also, think about if you have the women that are coming outcome of the ones who have been held, and the stories they are going to tell, that will bring the country to its knees, and we are going to have to be there for them. these hostages have lived underground, in gaza, longer than the americans were in tehran, so there is credit to go around, there is blame to go around, i do think we should give some credit to the israelis because now with the idf can do is to help us by decima

they were handed over to israeli defense forces after 471 days in captivity. 30 more hostages are expectover the next six weeks including two of the three remaining americans in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners. four more hoss to hostages oud e released next weekend. president-elect trump says they will make sure the cease fire holds by using good government and he says if it doesn't hold, quote, all hell will break out. want to bring in deputy national security adviser and author of the battle for the jewish state, how israel and america can win, victoria coates. so many questions for you. but i think this really shows that israel, i think netanyahu and this has been talked about already, this isn't a great deal, it's tough to see hamas be able to replenish their ranks with all of these prisoners but you had three young girls come home to their mothers yesterday. >> cheryl, good to be with you. i think this is -- it has to be a day to celebrate to get these three innocents out of gaza after 4 470 days. it's unspeakable what they've been through. you're correct, it's a toug

now, netanyahu, by the time, uh, trump gets sworn into office, may have mopped up all of the israeli defense force wish list targets and deliver to trump the gift of what looks like a quiet battlefield. but that's left a lot of, uh, revenge stored up. and a lot of actors who are ready to strike back the moment the israelis stop hitting. >> max, do you think netanyahu's how do you think netanyahu's behavior and actions would change or will change in this new trump presidency? >> very hard to say. i mean, i think that netanyahu will feel more compelled to listen to trump than he listened to biden because he relies so much on the republican party and the right wing in america for his political base of support in the united states. >> but remember, netanyahu also has pressing domestic imperatives in that the right wing members of his cabinet have made clear that if he makes a hostage deal, which results in the release of palestinian prisoners, or if he involves the palestinian authority in any way in governing the gaza strip, they could very well leave the government and topple netanyahu. so i expect

the ceasefire announcement was made, there have been about 100 more palestinians killed and israeli defense forcelties also. the point is that this important shift in public opinion is forcing the prime minister of israel, bibi netanyahu's, hand to really come the an agreementment and i think the second major factor is what has been called the trump effect. the biden team has negotiated, has been negotiating this ceasefire for 15 months now. this is been collaboration between outgoing biden team and the incoming trump team on the ceasefire agreement, and i think that that is good. but i think the trump effect is that president-elect trump sent to his of advisers got involved in this, and and the meeting, i think, between witkoff and prime minister netanyahu was decisive in sending a message from the incoming president that he simply does the not want -- does not want this crisis, this lack of a ceasefire and the hostage releases and the prisoner exchanges to be on husband agenda after -- his agenda after his inauguration. so i think these are the two fundamental factors which have brought us to a

surfaced of warning shots being fired by the israeli forces in the direction of the palestinians and some reports of injuries. that is not confirmed by the israeli defense, the idf simply says they're investigating those reports. one further update as we anticipate at some point tonight hamas is going to give us more information about the 90 remaining hostages as far as their well-being. it is the believed right now that 30 of the 90 remaining hostages have passed away, but we expect an updated number from hamas really at anytime tonight. mike? mike: mike, i know in the middle east things are subject to change at a moment's notice, but seeing some people come home after such an extended period of time, does that give some hope that the ceasefire may hold at least for a little while longer? >> reporter: it certainly gives a lot of joy. i think everyone rallies around these poor if parents who have waited 477 days to hug and touch their children again. so everyone or, one of the things you notice is downtown tel aviv when people normally come out to the restaurants, they were staying home. they were watching their televisions. everybody wanted to see thes

and a coalition of partners that help to the israeli defense forces defend the country from those attacksd hezbollah, it was the united states that act israel's willingness and efforts to do that. when asaad, the president of syria fell and fled the country, it was the united states's efforts with israel that weakened iran and russia. so hamas i think looked across the region, so all of its friends and partners in a fundamentally weaker place and felt it needed to make a deal. now, i will not deny that this came at a human -- at an enormous humanitarian cost. we have pressed on every day and every conversations we have had with israeli officials to increase humanitarian assistance going into gaza. in many ways that is the most import of this deal. in addition to getting the hostages home, they will be a significant increase in relief to the people of gaza. geoff: why didn't president biden push netanyahu harder or more publicly to curtail the idf operations and lessen the civilian costs in gaza? jon: to be honest, the thing that was holding back the stoppage of the violence and the haltin

begin until israel has received the names of hostages, that hamas plans to release, and also israeli defense forces. and the spokesperson saying that the israeli military operations in gaza will continue until hamas hands over that list, that the prime minister mentions. the agreement was supposed to go into effect about half an hour ago. hamas was to release three hostages on sunday while israel was to release 95 palestinians that it is holding prisoner. now, each side will release more in the coming weeks. israeli troops are preparing for a gradual withdrawal from some parts of gaza. the agreement calling for them to move to a buffer zone away from populated areas. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, addressing israel on saturday, saying that he plans to bring home all of the hostages. >> a cabinet issue, the cabinet and the government have approved a plan for the return of our captives. >> this is a war goal we will not relent on until it is completed. i know that this concern is shared by all the families in israel. i promise you, we will meet all the goals of the war. we will bring ever

released, the schedule, the time frame of how that would be done, and the exact details of of israeli defense forcewithdrawals from, from parts of gaza. >> so it's really down to the brass tacks. but as we've seen in the past, when you get down to that level of detail, you know you're close and you know the gaps can be closed. but that's when it gets really, really hard. that's when the negotiations become a little tougher. >> we do believe that we're in a different place now than we were before, more than a year ago, or even over the last, last recent months when we've been trying to get this deal in place because hamas is much, much more weak, weaker than it was before. it's more isolated than it was before. >> there's a there's a feeling that they are more willing now to accept a deal and to move forward. >> so there's optimism, but it's cautious optimism. casey, again, we've been here before and we know that it's not done until it's all done. >> and not everything is is agreed to until everything is agreed to. >> so we've got to keep working at it. >> so admiral, what has changed do you think t

. >> well, the israeli defense forces, michael, decimated hamas leadership and they took out yahya sinwarader of hamas. and from that perspective, hamas has been badly damaged, debilitated, and they don't have a command and control system. they also lost a major ally in hezbollah, the terrorist army that lives on israel's northern border inside lebanon. that's one of the key proxies for iran. in addition, after iran attacked israel with ballistic missiles, drones and cruise missiles back in april and then again in october, the united states, israel and a coalition of countries took out those missiles. and then israel conducted operations inside iran, deep inside iran, taking out not only iran's air defenses but their ballistic missile production capability. so iran was left without hezbollah, without their ballistic missiles, without their air defenses. and then the regime in syria, the assad regime, which had long been an ally of tehran, collapsed. and so you've got the remnants of hamas badly weakened without regional allies, and they had to make a deal. this all happened, michael, real

and we can confirm the israeli defense forces have said that the hostages are now on their way there. the first three who are going to be released of 33 in phase one. remember, phase one is a six week period. so we'll see some more releases probably around this time next week. and the reaction of the crowd has been fascinating. huge relief from everyone. people have been crying. people have been clapping. they've been cheering. but i think it's relief. above all, no one could really celebrate after what has happened, after so many people have been killed, so many people have been bereaved. it's been 15 months of heartbreak and dashed hopes waiting for this news. other key parts of this deal, of course, are going to be the release of 90 palestinian prisoners and also more palestinian prisoners over the next few days, the influx of much needed aid into gaza, the rebuilding. people are worried. people don't know that this is going to last. there's a lot of skepticism that phase two and phase 3rd may not happen, but for today, at least some relief. this is one of the hostages who's now on

and minister ron dermer that if they agree to a cease fire and the withdrawal of idf, the israeli defense forces from the gaza strip, trump will support israel retroactively if it decides to return to fighting and violate the cease fire. >> you know, we're we're rightfully focusing on what trump has brought to this equation in the peace deal or, sorry, the cease fire deal. i think what is also important to notice is what the prime minister of israel has done over the past several months in being able to game american politicians to get to this point. benjamin netanyahu is a shrewd and smart politician. that is undeniable. he could have delivered this victory to joe biden eight months ago, prior to a us election in which the us candidate for the democratic party, the vice president, could have been running on a cease fire deal. he did not do that. and he did not do that by design, not because he simply was sitting back there and saying that deal is not good. nothing has changed in the past eight months dramatically in terms of the deal. >> only american politics have changed. right, exactly. >> a

the israeli defense forces saying that they intercepted a missile from yemen's houthi rebels, saying that they didn't have any reports at this point of damage from debris from the the interception. it does remind you, though, that there are more players involved in this. now. we have heard from the houthis. they have said in the past that as soon as there is a ceasefire in gaza, then they will stop firing. they have been firing not just against israel, but also against shipping in the red sea. so as of tomorrow, sunday, we will be able to see if that is in fact the case. but if everything does go to plan, then this time tomorrow there will be no bombs falling in gaza. the cease fire will be in place and the first phase of those hopefully three phases will have begun. now, within that first phase, there will be 33 israeli and foreign hostages being released. and in return for that, some 735 palestinian prisoners, including 25 minors under the age of 18, will be released from israeli prisons. there will be a ceasefire, which means that hundreds of humanitarian aid trucks a day will be

they are in custody of the israeli defense forces. it is just nearly 6 p.m. in tel aviv. are looking live now at the location where president biden will speak. this is hostage square overseas, where jubilant crowds are celebrating. there is also a somber tone there. you see people hugging after word that those three female hostages have, in fact been released by hamas. they are on their way out of gaza after more than 15 months in captivity in gaza as well. celebrations that the fighting is over, at least for now. the israeli prime minister's office confirmed the names of those three female hostages freed. they are 24 year old remi conan, 31 year old doron steinbrecher and 28 year old emily damari. in exchange, israel is expected to free palestinian prisoners, although when that happens is still not clear. at this moment, israel will also supply humanitarian aid to gaza. today's hostage release and agreement now paves the way for the next phases of this deal. you saw the location where we expect to see president biden. he is in south carolina this morning. we'll listen in

joining me now is israeli defense forces spokesman, lieutenant colonel nadav shoshani.onel, thanks so much for taking the time. first question i have is what you know about the condition of the three young women. >> well, what we set up on the border is those spots for those initial checks where the mothers met their daughters for the first time, and we gave them first support, medical support. but they're going now to have more extensive checkups, as you said, more than a year in captivity with the terror organization, sometimes with no lights, sometimes with no food. so they're going to have extensive care. from what we've seen in the first case, we've seen them standing, we've seen them smiling, we've seen them hugging the families. we've seen good signs. but again, they've been there for 15 months with terrorists in horrible conditions in gaza. and they're going to they're going to go extensive checks now in the hospital in sheba. they will be there. the hospital is ready to facilitate everything to check about them and to see and give them a full checkup. what we d

we now have confirmation from the idf, from the israeli defense forces that the three hostages, the three women who have been released by hamas into red cross captivity, are now in israel. they have crossed over from gaza. they are now in israel with the red cross. they will be put onto a helicopter. there's a helicopter at a base that is adjacent to gaza in southern israel. assuming that they are healthy enough to get on that helicopter immediately, they will be flown to tel aviv, where they will receive treatment at raf sanchez is standing by at the hospital where they will be released. okay, lots going on. we will stay on top of all of it. i apologize to both my viewers and my guests for the fact that it's going to feel a little bit choppy over the next hour, because we'll be talking to somebody and then we'll be going to something else. but that's the nature of this historic moment in which there are hostages who are being freed. there are palestinians who are being able to, in some cases, be released from prison. and as as joe biden said, the bombs and the shooting has stopped in gaz

but he said to me, the israeli defense forces are mistreating the paleststinians in the same way. and even worse than the white police miseated blacks in the south. so he saw the palestinian issue as a human rights and civil rights issue, not just as a political issue. and it's a shame that at camp david, there were no palestinians. and the reason they weren't is because yasser arafat, who was head of the palestinian liberation organization, refused to accept un resolution 242, land for peace. so the autonomy that kai mentioned, the full autonomy they agreed to, but there were no palestinians to fill it out. and after the administration, at the very end the last six months saw linowitz was negotiating that. but we didn't have any real interlocutors negotiated with. >> all right. you make some very important points. we'll continue this conversation to be sure you're looking at the honor guard at the carter center getting ready to pay tribute, special tribute to the late president of the united states. victor, you're there on the scene for us. give us a little sense of how this is a

you're going to have hamas, and you're going to have the israeli defense forces. to create a changed reality with a third force, you're basically saying, we're going to have to have a two. you're going to have to have a two state solution if you want to get the saudis, the emiratis and other arab nations in there at least have to put it on the table. you're going to have to make it conditional. the palestinians are going to have to meet all sorts of checkpoints along the way. but yes, you're going to have to lay out some kind of at least an interim vision and as a, as a way station to get to that point. this israeli government is not constituted to do that. so there's going to be a day of reckoning sooner than the new administration is prepared for. >> all right. >> yesterday, trump ordered the department of homeland security to end the humanitarian parole program for migrants fleeing several countries. after the break, we'll talk to former break, we'll talk to former homeland security secretary ♪♪ your pain shouldn't be minimized or forgotten. ♪♪ when medicine get

israeli military also withdrew from multiple stations in gaza as part of the truce. president joe biden gave remarks this morning attributing the success of this deal to the defense of israeli forces. >> but the road to this deal has been not easy at all, and a long road. but we've reached the point today because of the pressure israel built on a mosque backed by the united states. >> president biden says four more women hostages are set to be released in seven days. the clock has run out on tiktok and the app is going dark for many users across the u.s. as this band takes effect. however, the company's ceo is confident this is not the end. >> rest assured, we will do everything in our power to ensure our platform thrives as your online home for limitless creativity and discovery, as well as a source of inspiration and joy for years to come. >> there is, of course, wide reaching impact, not just politically, but economically. there are or were tens of millions of users in the us, many of them influencers and the company even has an office here in the bay area that it was looking to expand. tiktok is now turning to president trump for a lifeline. abc seven news reporter anser hassa

and in that time, the israeli military says it carried out new strikes in gaza. the israel defense forces said artillery and aircraft struck what it describes as a number of terror targets in northern and central gaza. gaza civil defense and hospital officials say the latest strikes killed at least ten palestinians. meanwhile, in northern gaza, some palestinians are already returning to places they fled because of fighting. now, this was the scene a short time ago in gaza city. and in egypt, hundreds of aid trucks are at the rafah border crossing, ready to enter gaza as soon as the fighting stops. cnn's nadia bashir is live in beitunia, west bank, where we expect to see palestinian prisoners released. but first we go to salma abdelaziz in london with the latest on the ceasefire. so, salma, many in israel and gaza incredibly anxious as that planned ceasefire deadline passed with no ceasefire. so bring us up to speed. where do things stand right now? >> yes. you often hear in these cases, kim, that every minute, every delay costs lives. in this case, it literally did. at least ten people ki

israeli fire here. the israel defense forces says that they had redeployed troops in southern lebanon, even though they were supposed to withdraw a few hours ago. that deadline was part of a ceasefire deal between israel and hezbollah militants. lebanon's president says that the nation's sovereignty will not be compromised on the us-mexican border. now, where we may seem a little bit odd, at least an odd place for an irs employee to be working. but not if you ask donald trump. more on what he said next. also, how guatemalan officials are reacting to mr. trump's aggressive immigration orders with deportation flights landing on their territory as they ramp up. and los angeles looks to rebuild as devastating fires finally approach full containment. but the current rain forecast is threatening to bring mudslides and landslides to the fire ravaged areas. all that and much more. when we come back aveeno introduces new daily moisturizing cream. >> it's clinically proven to moisturize dry skin for 48 hours and instantly strengthens skin's barrier for softer, smoother skin. aveeno. the power of oat for sensitiv
