former taliban negotiator adam boehler joins us now. >> steve: one of the things that has happened in the last 48 hours is hamas has killed a lot of israelis. they have also got some very powerful propaganda where they're seen parading and dragging israelis through the streets of israel and then they just vanish. and that is a powerful message for them, isn't it? >> it is very powerful and needs to remind us in the united states that this is a war and a campaign against terror. it's not about israeli citizens versus palestinians citizens. this is hamas backed by iran against people that want stability and peace. >> steve: there are stories, there was some gunfire across the southern border with lebanon. israeli military in the last hour is reporting that militants crossing into israel from lebanon which probably means here comes hezbollah. as bad as hamas is hezbollah is worse and looks a lot like coordination to support that "wall street journal" story that essentially iran gave the green light for all this to happen. >> this is 100% coordinated against terrorist entities. islamic ji

adam boehler with a lot of experience in the region. i want to get to matt miller from the state department and question about whether or not working for a ceasefire that many have called for and what he said about that regarding hamas or gaza. >> a ceasefire would give hamas the ability to rest, to refit, and to get ready to continue launching terror attacks against israel. you can understand perfectly clearly why that's an intolerable situation for israel. as it would be an intolerable schismuation for any country suffering such a brutal terror attack and continues to see the terrorist threats on its border. >> bill: that's yesterday afternoon and late last night if you're watching this coverage on israel in the central part of gaza, warnings going out to a refugee camp right smack dab in the mid olekowski f gaza and whether they got hit, we don't know. we'll check with mike. >> dana: they've placed military assets all around the innocent people and have up with around another larger hospital and that's where hamas headquarters are an

joining me now is adam boehler, former trump senior official, and one of the lead negotiators for thedam, i'm short of time and i apologize but difference between strength and weakness, give us a little hint. when you guys were negotiating with the "abraham accords" or in general what was the difference? did we understand that? >> i think the key thing here, larry, is everybody thinks about "abraham accords" as a peace agreement and how it comes. the truth is that people don't know the main factor in driving the "abraham accords" was one thing, which is containment of iran and how did we do it? first we killed their number two guy right? we took him out in iraq. they couldn't do anything, they shot a missile, it exploded nothing happened that was the single greatest thing that enable ad peace agreement. it was peace through strength. larry: going beyond that, we enforced the trump al administration enforced the sanctions instead of 3 or 4 million barrels a day, it was down to 3 or 400,000, am i wrong, adam. >> you're correct. when you release tens of billions of dollars when you relax
