folly: before we go to our panel , let's speak to alan fisher in tel aviv. ll us more about what came out of this meeting between biden and netanyahu. is there any shift at all in the u.s. position? alan: no. they are firmly behind israel. it was israel's intention after what happened at the hospital in gaza to convince the americans they were not responsible from joe biden's comments it appears that was not much of a heavy lift. he already decided what he was gathering -- he said the information he got from the pentagon would suggest the israelis were not behind it. he talked about how his support for israel is steadfast. how they fully behind what they are about to do as far as taking on hamas on the gaza strip. he would like to see some humanitarian aid getting into gaza but what is interesting is in the past, when there have been conflicts in this area, you have -- u.s. presidents have tended to use the word restrain, asking both sides to exercise it. that word has not appeared in any statement joe biden has made since he first commented on what happened

alan fisher reports from occupied east jerusalem.eporter: a prime minister under pressure at home and abroad. he has repeated his calls for countries to stand with israel. he spoke with foreign minister -- he spoke with foreign media for the first time since october 7. >> calls for a cease-fire are calls for israel to surrender to hamas, to surrender to terrorism , to surrender to barbarism. that will not happen. reporter: the news conference coming hours after the world got its first brief and restricted look at some of the captives being held in gaza. the background is deliberately black. al jazeera has made the decision to not run the video they have been identified as missing from an israeli village close to the border with gaza. one directly addressed the israeli prime minister. we are bearing the responsibility of your failure on october 7. there was no army, no one arrived or protected us. we are innocent citizens that pay taxes to israel and we are in captivity and in a bad condition and are killing us. she also called for th

responsibility and the attack on the hospital in garza lots gave the evidence about the claim. alan fisher reports from tennessee its so it was a trip meant to help deescalate the crisis and gas, but it began to unravel before do by even touch. don't entail a be warm hugs to be followed by tough question. said the white house, particularly when you might have tv and issues. but then there was a massacre, i think as a hospital overshadowing every 6. the americans about the inquiry into what happened to bite and refused to be endorsing is really denials. are deeply said in our age by the explosion of the hospital and cause of yesterday and based on what i've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team. not, not you joe biden has promised israel. it was, it needs to carry out. it's offensive in gaza and support. clearly welcomed by the country's prime minister with one eye on the american audiences that on october 7th, come us murdered. 1400 as well as maybe more. this is in a country of fewer than 10000000 people. this wouldn't be equivalent to over $50000.00 americans murdered

and what many people think is about to happen. alan fisher in tennessee. thank you. let's meet august in ramallah in the occupied westbank we joined by the la area cod assistant professor of conflict resolution and diplomacy at the american university. delilah is also economists for our codes newspaper in washington. dc is holiday again, the senior fellow at the middle east institute and author of blind spot america and the palestinians from ball forward to trump, and also in washington dc. phyllis ben is a fellow at the institute for policy studies, pink time, and international advisor to the jewish voice for peace organization finished. let me start with you in washington to understand why we've seen a visit of support by president biden, to tennessee, to israel, even after the massacre at the i ali baptist hospital in gaza. even at a time when the region is boiling. why, why is the us so committed and supporting as well today? that's a very long story and we don't have time to go into the history. but i think the question today is the consequences of this visit, t

let's go live to alan fisher. alger 0 is alan fisher in washington, dc. our what developments have you seen from the us today on this as well, the continued discussions, the national security team brief, joe biden starts thing. he is called what's known as a lid at the white house, which would suggest that we're not likely to see him later today. but we are told that he will be making calls to other leaders, particularly in the region that follows onto the blinking calls over the last 40 hours or so, particularly to the likes of the subsidies on the talks. because he believes that they have go links to homeless and therefore can be discussing things like the release of those that were taken into guys. i know the concern is that there is a number of americans they have, they have no farm information on that. but they know that there are a number of is really americans and the number of americans that are accounted for . the latest figures of americans that have been killed is 9. and the national security agency says they expect that number to increase. but

i wanna find out alan fisher allen. uh so the assign brigade seemed to say that they carry it out and attack the arrows crossing. that's where the is really forces. how because gather their unit. so what more is being said about this in israel as well? obviously, you know, getting into thinking real time because that would be considered a breach of military intelligence. we have seen the pictures all types moving in to the gas. a strip accompanied by soldiers on foot, normally infantry at the air being supported by plains in the sky. the israeli army has said that the identified the number of targets while the would be and the soldiers led the cost to strike. they said it was against thomas positions and also against thomas tunnels. the situation on the ground seems to be very dynamic with a number of gun bottles raging around the not all guys. and we knew that when the israelis decided to move in and remember, benjamin netanyahu still hasn't called us an invasion, but stage 2 of the operation there, we knew that it wou

i'm sure 0 is alan fisher is standing by there for us out and stand by or come to you shortly. let me 1st go to terica boy zoom in who is live in gaza for us. thanks guys for being with us at this hour. what is the situation where you are at this hour the with well, the is brittany, occupational forces continues right now. it's a tax on the garza strips area specifically on central and northern areas of the goals, a strip from the other side of to a before an hour from right now. the spokesman of the military wing of the last movement has announced that they are fight to is managed to reach to an area that is so close to our loan city, in which they managed to capture a number of he's written the new soldiers and bring them back again to the cause, a strip of what is really surprising in this statement that was released before an hour ago that the uh, the militant groups managed to document a video for the is there any soldiers documenting how they're all getting the cliques in the battlefield often there have been forwarding in the hands of the militant to groups inside the ga

alpha 0 is alan fisher is standing by there. alan, the us is pledging military assets to support israel. tell us more about that. it certainly we've been talking about it for more than 24 hours. lloyd dawson, the defend 6 weeks said they would give is really is whatever the data required and joe biden and a phone call with benjamin netanyahu. and the last couple of hours said that once they find out what the israelis wanted, then they would start moving that we are told that the 1st shipment of weapons has gone among the things that are being considered is replenishment for the i am don't system member that spends with the system that stops real kits. i was simply overwhelmed by the number of real kids that were fired from guys, a alley on saturday morning. the us is also reinforcing its own troops in the area . they're sending a carrier group, which is normally an aircraft carrier plus 5 other vessels that is helping to the region there also sending more planes to their bases in the area as well. and doing the phone call between by midnight and yahoo! the us president said that no enem

a alan fisher joins us live from occupied east, jerusalem, and illinois. can you just tell us more about the statements? the look at the list of countries there. there's one obvious exception that is the g 7, except there is no japan. so be interesting to find out what depends position, isn't this, given that it said that it could be neutral in negotiations between the power studies and the rate is really just last week the, the japanese, the opponent minister said that the didn't believe that the united states could do that now the states and from the 6 patients explain, it again, expresses the fact that israel has the right to defend itself. it describes how mass as a ton of his group. so that will get some welcome here in israel. and they also say that they must adhere to international law while carrying out its military operations. ignoring the fact of course, that is real at the start of this conflict. cut of power, food and water. the 2 guys that even though some of that is getting through know very small amount, but it is getting through as well. an

well, let's now speak to alan fisher and get the view from washington dc. i, when we've been hearing that, i'm just me blinking. it's been on the phone to regional leaders as well as both the palestinians and israelis. it seems, washington does want the escalation, but it's still plunging its support for israel. a tony blinking to spend the day watching from the white house, no doubt, returned the situation room. the whole national security team has been there around joe biden, informing them of what was happening, making phone calls, lloyd austin, the defense secretary called these relays betty at lee on i'm from the white house . we're hearing that discussions auto and going to provide these relays with whatever they need over the next few days. and remember, the united states already gave us about $3000000000.00 and military aid to israel. the 20 blinking has in the last few hours spoken to the foreign ministers of saudi arabia and also uh the, um, so do you maybe uh and um get shipped and also the president of the palestinian authority is also me to cal

there was alan's fisher reporting there from tennessee. if you just told us that bind is expected to land in about 20 minutes, we can counselor i on the live shot there over ben green in the airport. that's where the us president is expected to land for what will be a fraud diplomatic visit. as ellen was explaining the arab leaders that jo button was scheduled to meet, have effectively this invited him to steal a phrase from alan's reporting there they canceled on him following the attack on the out of the hospital in gaza, which has caused at least 500 palestinian depths well posted in president know who the boss has denounced the attack on the baptist hospital as a hideous massacre saying the palestinians will not be forced from their land. abbas was also supposed to be part of that summit in jordan, but cancel his trip or whatever that is so cool, most of israel government has no red lines anymore and it should be held responsible and punished since the beginning of the aggression as being bloodshed, given to night semester i decided to

the ship a live shits describe her or deal thing that she went through. hell. alan fisher has more from occupied east jerusalem. it seems like an ordinary saturday morning, so you all could bed live shit. the 5 year old was a walking need. our home in near all is very close to the guys a boat. but she looked up and you still on man racing towards the through a hole in the fence. the security fence that costs millions of dollars to build a waste of money. she calls it now. suddenly she was hold onto the back of a motorbike with motorcyclists in front and behind. she felt herself speeding towards guys, but this was not a joy, right? i went through how something i didn't think human beings would do to one another. i have never going through anything like it in my life. they arrived at the kibbutz and came up to us taking us to surrounding fields. the young man beat me and hurt me and they took my watch and jewelry. they were right, the motor bikes and to goes to the interest of a time that she was taken through underground tunnels and guys a to what seem like a lot of told there, there was

it is 11 gmc, it is 2 pm in israel, in gaza in the occupied west bank. alan fisher is standing by and tell of if he's been covering the joe biden trip at every turn. ellen, what do you make of these latest statements? they, they were very similar to what the prime minister and president and said only what 90 minutes prior to that. well, you would expect that by and large that the joe biden is going to be steadfast, to be support. but he's really has been since the very early days of this crisis he sees it is important to make that statement. as we mentioned before, what is different this time is that when there's been issues between israel and guys in the past, us presence of 10 to cold for restraint on both sides, that key word restraint has been missing in any of the statements that the joe biden has made uh, his team came here hoping that he would be able to deliver on something he might have to you in progress like the spot, humanitarian corridor. something to get vital 8 into guys, but also to get the americans are deal citizens out is certainly something that was important to on

well, that's now get the view from washington dc and speak to alan fisher. and we know that i'm to be blinking, has been hitting the phones today. washington once the escalation and just hoping that regionally this can potentially help. well, he's obviously hoping to do is with close links to homeless might be able to do something. it's interesting to the people that he's decided to call them last few hours. he's talked to the addiction foreign minister. he's spoken to the talk to support administer, asking them to get engaged in the process. here he's talking talk to the president of the palestinian authority. and just the last though, with a read that there is spoken to my home and outside the, the prime minister and foreign minister of kata, saying that they should coordinate efforts to get an immediate hold to how masses attacks. it's clear that that, that the joe biden believes that that is the best way to do this by bringing local pressure and those who may have influence on how i'm us to perhaps bring an end to what we're seeing over the last. what is

that's fees. alans fisher. he's in washington dc. i as the u. s. we as rates it's support for israel, we all hearing that a number of americans have also been killed. the what more do we know at this stage? the national security kind of so were briefing natalie on sunday that a number of americans have been killed in the last couple of hours. the house of representatives has received a briefing from the national security team during the briefing. i'm like to believe they were told the 4 americans had been killed, but to expect that number to increase the united states has already a nice they would support israel. it's going to is back this when joe biden said on saturday, the following that out with military deployments. they've already said that the equipment and resources are being sent to israel, including munitions. although the americans that have pains to point out a new point that israel ask for troops on the ground, but what is being sent to them at least, is the general ford carrier group, which is a new cap county and 5 other warships. us

officials and tele v for days ago as a show of solidarity on his 1st stop of them at least visit alan fisher as in west jerusalem or ellen, what are you finding out about this? blinking visit was blinking. prioritizing this well, obviously he wants to see, i see a monitoring corner door open to the as really prime minister's office as in the last few hours said toby ne fire, which makes it incredibly difficult for the people who are making their way to rafa . and they have been since the early hours of this morning, believing the comments of until the blinking that the crossing would send be opened and people with dual nationality would be able to make their way to relative safety in egypt. but they're being met with gates being closed and of course, if there's no way out of it, that means there's no way in. so there's no chance of documented tutoring and quarter to bringing in food to water and medical supplies. the guys are so urgently needs. so that would seem to be the 1st order of business and then to express, having spent the last few days bouncing around in the middle east speaking, s

let me go down to 0 as alan fisher, who is alive on this russ from west jerusalem. l y lincoln coming back to israel. well, 1st of all he can explain it to the israelis, dave, the temperature that he's been taking and out of capital was doing his business date over the last few days. you say he's visited 7 of the out of leaders, and many of them have told them that they want to avoid this conflict expanding beyond the borders, but also expressing their concern for what is happening. you guys are for what, maybe a boat to happen and guys, and also the need to get to mandatory and supplies into guys. and that will be one of the things, the entity blinking talks about because he's been very keen to get the rough of crossing open that to be some sort of c spy, to a lot of those who have dual nationality to leave and to the relative safety of egypt and also for humanity, you need to get 10. but the prime minister's office has in the last couple of hours, put out a statement saying there will be no c spy. as far as where to where the crossing at rough a still remains clos

thank you very much. alan fisher that occupied is torrison loss is promising to retaliation against israel's unrelenting strikes on the gaza strip. and the rapidly growing power steering and desktop its military rang. the customer gave says it's sent on to turn this into israel for the 1st time. a while the a mirror of cattle says it is well, it should not be given a green light, unconditional killing, and gaza take to mean been a lot off on. he says the pricing between is around her mouth is a dangerous escalation. that is roughly the region, but the wild national not as we say enough is israel cannot be given the green light will comp launch for killing, nor should the occupation unjust siege or illegal settlements be ignored. at this time in history, power, water, food, or medicine, shouldn't be used as a weapon against an entire population. now i do not throw it out. what for to injecting it, believe me, it's whit calling for the regional and international community to take a stand. i met this grave escalation, which undermines peace and security not only in the region, but in the whole

the number of dead from rising. alan fisher. i'll just need to tell her we, i mean all dozens i've been searching through daybreak at the alley hospital that was hit by his randy asked right on tuesday, maybe 500 people were killed. thousands of civilians. our thoughts have been inside the hospital at the time of the attack and a warning, some of yours may find the pictures. and i said, bags report to study cottage bodies and body parts strewn across the ground. the result of in use a strike on either the baptist hospital because it is no is safe and is besieged in case no way is off limits. no way to say correct. some of the images are too graphic to protest. images of the children that bodies ripped apart, faces mutilated bodies, ready strike this far the result into kevin, he's children's body parts and bags of my son that you can see here on my phone. my wife just told me he died. he was sitting with us and all of a sudden he disappeared. hundreds of families that sort refuge in the grands of the hospital. we were told the r

so there's a lot of entity blinking to do when you see alan fisher importing from western ridgeland. thank you very much. i the palestinian president, the boss has called for israel to immediately stop its aggression against the palestinian people. this and a phone call with his venezuelan count, depart, nicholas and the duro abbas stress that the policies programs and decisions of the palestine liberation organization the p a low or what represent the policy and people as the so legitimate representative and not the policies of any other organization or the need is in ramallah, how that will talk a little bit more about a boss's statements, because they are important and they matter 1st still tell us about the continued arrest cindy occupied westbank while they've been going on for months and months, but ever since this crisis started, the number of not the raids has increased many folds, just over nighted. here they were dozens and dozens of raids. a bit over the occupied westbank do just a short while ago there was one as south of bethlehem and the refugee camp that day was also d

it's the 1st time the us as in touch, the shut down the aircraft of the nato. ella alan fisher reports from washington. it started as a tucked each military operation. it ended with governments into capitals making argent phone calls. the talk is military was conducting airstrikes and has sucka and city a targeting car. despite those of the y p g group, the operation was ordered after the technician tv administrative was targeted by a suicide bomber on sunday. but american troops to commit just to cover as a non chucky store and came within one kilometer of their positions. when calls between the capitals failed to hold the operation on the joint move to just 500 meters awaiting us. j shorted doug the 1st time and need to a member is attacked one of its allies, us commanders assessed at the u. a. b, which was now less than a half kilometers from us, forces to be a potential threat. and us of 16 fighters subsequently shut down the u. a. b in self defense, approximately 1140 local time. it's important to point out that no us forces were injured during the incident. we have no indication

and alan fisher, he's live for us in tel aviv. so we had the statements from the prestige prime minister that he stands with israel, what he called his donkey style. but there was no mention no criticism of some of the actions which is rarely taking in god says that international human rights groups un experts even is right. the human rights groups are calling war crimes. says he brushed up against it. then when he said that, we want to see israel conducted itself relations with an international rule of law . and certainly we know that the decision by the is released the cutoff power of food and water to the guys. this trip is considered by many to be a war crime. this was many the clotted to by rush you soon. i essentially saying we are with you. i, i, we understand what you're going through. britain, of course, assume a tax itself. i thought benjamin netanyahu, whose comments were particularly striking, when he says, is it this is going to be a long war and we need your continued support. i'm part of freezing now. i didn't get t

and we will work to prevent it from happening again . alan fisher isn't occupied east jerusalem reporting on this island. i, i'm a little confused here. is there an actual plan in place right now with details to deliver aid to the palestinian civilians or is just there an intention to work on a plan as well. it seems that they are going to work on a plan, but there's a lot. so if, if some bucks there, and you can see that fit until the blinking language is very broad. there's nothing specific there. we're going to do this and this will happen here. so we talk about discussing how to get it into guys and know that obviously will be a logistical nightmare. and so they've got to talk about how they can do that. but they realize that this has got to happen quickly, or certainly the americans realize this has got to happen quickly because of what is a growing humanitarian crisis. and then they will discuss ideas about creating a humanity in colorado. well, on to the blinking on sunday, told people that the roof of crossing would soon be open and people should had their particularly those go fo

i was there as alan fisher reporting some televi. thank you very much for that allen. time or you're back with this topic, our moods professor of public policy at the doha institute for graduate studies. we're going to stay on this language via job. i'm because you know, this is what we've been wondering since yesterday. when we found out that you as president would come to israel, he would come to israel to say what and express exactly what policy we knew, of course, this was support for israel, but we know there were questions going into this. would he go for restraints on the compartments of gaza with people for a ceasefire? what would he say if he's, if he, the palestinians and in the last few hours, what would he say? these are the strike and gaza that is killed 500 people. a short statement that he's still manage to say a lot. yeah, but i looked at nothing that's nothing meaningful to and 1st and in misery and in the domestic and again, domestic and you guys are now. so that's, that's come up with a c, a perspective. nothing significant is just give a green light

we're keeping a very close eye on what's happening on the tarmac of been green airports as bringing alan fisher who is in tel aviv allen and give us the play by play. give us the not the play by play, but give us kind of a context and the readers guide for of yours to this visit. but the intention is for joe biden should support for a sale. he's been very strong in his language since the hours after the attack. he came out on that side to the be the statement from the white house, expressing support for israel, say, we stand behind you here. mutually clears the way for material resources i munition to be sent to israel. he said whatever you need we will deliver. that was the intention i sent me anthony blinking has been a secretary of state has been in the region for the last 67 days. i know it only has the met with the israelis in a couple of occasions he's been testing the temperature in out of the capitals as well. joe biden decided to, to make this visit after being invited by benjamin netanyahu. but of course, has become a very dynamic visit because the circumstances have changed dramatica
