. >> dana: joining us is dan senor, co-author of the new book, the genius of israel. there were two more hostages released today, that is good. emotional blackmail is excruciating. >> there is a mix of unbelievable highs for the people reuniting with their loved ones and start to learn about life was like with them for the 48, 50 days in captivity, which is pretty awful. the recognition that the overcoming of that trauma is going to take a very long time and then you have all these other families, some of whom i'm in touch with saying when is my loved one going to be on the list? will they be on the list? and then also just broader pressure on the israeli government to not finish wiping out hamas, which we could debate whether or not continuing with that conflicts with the goal of getting the hostages out, the rest of them or reinforces it. is supportive of pursuit of it. the mix of emotions in israel right now is difficult to overcome. >> bill: no israeli men have been released yet. you wonder what's their condition, what's their status? are they alive? the israelis

thank you. >> see you. >> martha: joining me on set, dan senor, former adviser to george w.d co-author of "the genius of israel." great to have you with us. welcome. congratulations on the book. i'm sure you never imagined that october 7th would happen when you wrote this book. it talks about the incredible history and story of the jewish people. and their optimism as a people in this country. i was there in june. you feel it. it's amazing resilient happy culture. how much has that been damaged by what has happened? >> i think israeli is experiencing a national trauma, a personal and collective. many israelis feeling the personal and collective trauma. yet at the same time, it's a paradox. the country is coming together. israel is ranked the fourth happiest country in the world. like consistently in the top ten. we quote this one journalist that visited israel, no connection. he wrote a piece saying why are israelis so damn happy? they're in a dangerous neighborhood a lot of stress. but yet they're totally upbeat. what you can't understate is the important of the country's s

. >> >>> next on gps, we'll talk to the former official and dan senor about israeli-american relationshow long could the united states continue t to susupport israe's actition in gazaza? >>> i'm joined now by dan senor, he's the co-author of a new book called "the genius of israel, the surprising resilience of a divided nation in a turbulent world." . dan welcome. in some ways the book is impression, because at a time when everybody was talking about how divided israel was during the protests about the court, you point out there have a very strong common bounds that hold it together and we'll get to that. but i got to ask you. do you think -- how important is america's support to israel right now? because when you look at the u.n. votes, it is basically the united states and occasionally canada. >> maybe the u.k. >> but even the u.k. on the last vote on the occupation, it was the u.k. and france and germany voted against israel. how crucial is america's support. >> it is everything. at the end of the day, the u.s. is the only country in the world, the only government in the world that

dan senor, thank you. >>> just hours away from the expected reloose of fourth group of hostages. idf hamas violated part of the temporary truce agre agreement. >> she reunited with her parents at the hospital saturday, she was treated for what's said to be an injury suffered. ministry of health said over the weekend that maya is in stable condition and her injury isn't life-threatening. >>> when hamas stops releasing hostages under the existing framework israel will return to realizing our three goals with full force. eliminating hamas, ensuring that gaza never again poses a threat to the israeli people and ensuring the release of all of our hostages. >> right now, we're in final 24 hours of the four-day military pause between israel and hamas, and everyone is waiting for that fourth set of released hostages. >> this morning, there's some hope that the truce could be extended, hamas is pushing for a clause in the original arr arrangement that see more days. israeli war cabinet has discussed the idea. joining us now is idf spokesperson peter lerner, we appreciate your time. there

bring in dan senor, a former pentagon advisor to u.s. you have deep routes and history in israel and so as well as relatives fighting and your book is out today, the jean useless of israel. first off your impression of how the fighting is going so far because it's pretty clear they are cutting gaza in half and going to start penetrating deep into gaza city. >> yeah. so we don't have a lot of key detailwhat is happening on the d in gaza. israel done a good job keeping total lock down in terms of information so hamas can't anticipate what hamas is going to do. very little information coming out. everything i have heard based on people i have spoken to on the ground in the military and israeli journalists on the ground is the 20 plus days before they went on the ground did a lot to condition the battlefield that has made this operation to moving on the ground much smoother. any military operation is always fragile. you can't get too -- you can't spike the ball in the end zone. so far everyone i speak to says it's going petty well and making

dan senor, as always, thank you. >> thanks, kaitlan. >>> it may be quiet in gaza tonight, but hezbollahired dozens of rockets at a base in northern israel just yesterday. there are major questions tonight about how that could complicate efforts to free more hostages, what that means given they're not party to this temporary truce that's underway. we'll discuss it with our expert right after this. >>> the truce to led to some two dozen hostages returning to israel is between the idf and hamas, but just yesterday hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at a base in northern israel. i'm joined by retired u.s. air force colonel cedric leighton. give us perspective. hezbollah launched nine other attacks on israeli military posts yesterday. how does the truce between israel and hamas fit into the broader regional picture here? >> yeah, pam, that's a very good question because hezbollah is not a party, as you mentioned, to this truce between hamas and israel. hezbollah is kind of watching what's going on here. they're looking at this from the standpoint of, do i enter israel at this point? do i atta

joining us is dan senor, a foreign policy adviser under president george w. bush. he's also the co-author of the new and timely book, "the genius of israel: the surprising resilience of a divided nation in a turbulent war." dan, i'm so glad to have you back tonight. i want to talk about the book a lot. but those comments from secretary blinken, do you think that shift from language in the u.s. leads to a shift in policy in israel? >> probably not. i think what secretary blinken is dealing with is bouncing around from arab capital to arab capital, and he's hearing two things. on the one hand, they say the fighting needs to end soon. these images all over the media of palestinians getting killed is a problem. but not before israel finishes off hamas. make sure israel finishes off hamas. to many of these countries, particularly the sunni gulf, they want hamas wiped out. hamas is a huge headache for many of these arab countries. they want hamas wiped out. the images are a problem, so they want israel to -- they want the united states to put some pressure on israel. i d

. >> former chief spokesman for the pentagon in iraq, dan senor, is back with us. >> dan, by the way,ead the book. it's a great book, a great read. >> i congratulate you on this. y you can you correct me if i'm wrong? has israel been occupyinf i'g ga ? because my memory serves me correctly, that has not happened at has n in many years, numbery one. and maybe you could explain to me the moral equivalence that barack obama's making and his penchant to want to give billions, just like joe biden, to the mullahs of irapension that chant deathan to israel, death to america. >> that was an amazing exchange that we just watched. israel unilaterally withdrew from gaza in 2005 after manyfroz attempts at achieving some kind of peace. two state solution over the course of numerous prime ministers. erielle, then prime ministere in 2005, said, we're out. >> we can't reach a bilateral agreement. u we'll do this unilaterally. it's yours. israel left an incrediblnilateie of land on the mediterranean. >> if you see a geographicallyo topographic, graphically, i've been there. >> it could have been devel

joining us now is dan senor. dan, it's so great to see you. seeing right now. on the news, this idea of cease-fires, pauses, humanitarian breaks, cease-fire obviously is a nonstarter for israel, where should israel be on that question on, let's let the aid in we're helping the civilians. >> i think letting in the aid to the extent that it does not in any way interfere with israel's war plans, to eradicate hamas, is worthy and so as long as whatever aid they let in doesn't get hoarded by hamas. if it's getting to the right people in southern gaza and it doesn't interfere with hamas. these negotiations are a different issue, i think hamas really wants a pause desperately, because the israeli incursion, is going much better than anyone expected, it's going better than the israelis expected. >> when you say that by what standard? >> i think there was a concern in the last time israel went in on the ground in 20, the casualties for israelis the boobytraps the battlefield was set up to -- israel. the fighting in the air before they went in on the gr
