david, israel is now asking the united states of america for an emergency. $10 million in aid, the new york times reports. the us senate will discuss providing the idf with missiles for air defense systems, an iron dome, 155 mm artillery ammunition, precision bombs and kits, if i'm pronouncing it correctly, to convert conventional aerial bombs into precision bombs. well, at least that's what senate majority leader chuck schumer said. what is lacking in the israeli army in order to conduct an effective ground operation and protect the ground operation of the gaza strip and protect israel from strikes from the north and south. to begin with, i should note that this 10 billion is a general such request, and it may not be a fact that there will be 10, perhaps it is about financial assistance. including financial aid, for which ammunition will be purchased in the future , he would like to begin to complete a large-scale operation in gas, these funds will be enough for him, but he must have a reserve, he must take into account the possibility of expanding the war to the northern front, and t

david, earlier the israel defense forces reported that its throughout the country and it was said that the army gives priority to the ground operation, but the mass media wrote that israel postponed the operation due to bad weather, because the bad weather does not allow the air force to cover the troops that will go on the ground , although later this information was also denied and they said that there is no ground operation yet. because the israelis want to give the opportunity to more residents of the gaza strip to the south, that is, to egypt, but for now, i as i understand it, there is no final decision regarding the ground operation, today the federal chancellor of germany olaf scholz is in israel, tomorrow joseph biden is supposed to fly there, what are they saying in israel about how and in what way to defeat the hamasaz militants who still remain in the gas sector? i can tell you with almost complete responsibility that the weather factor was in a short period of time, the weather factor is probably the least of the reasons, i would like to say, not even the reason why the op

david, israel's bombed hospitals, schools, mosks, a church, presidential buildings. i mean, what does he say about israel's strategy here? well we can see straight away can't we that this is not what israel says it's doing, it says it's trying to defeat hamas and of course what it's trying to do is to bomb gaza into this age and indeed to try and kill so many people. that there's no viable population there and force the rest of them out into sai, they want them to leave into sin so that they can reoccupy the strip and uh the palestinians back in it so there would be being expelled into gaza and now the tr to expell them so this is the the objective this is the second ac the killing or expulsion of the nothing to do with attempting to target ham haven't done that yet because one they doing it. because they will lose so many soldiers and two because the americans are so are not convinced that the idf, the so-called idf is capable of launching ground offensive, so that's what the doing, the deciding instead to take revenge on the ordinary people of gaza. well, richard, i

david, israel bombed hospitals, schools, mosks, a church. presidential buildings, i mean, what does it say about israel's strategy here? well, we can see that this is not what israel says is doing, it says it's trying to defeat hamas and of course what it's trying to do is to bomb gaza into the stoneage, indeed to try kill so many people that there's no viable population left there, and to force them out into i want them to leave into sina, they can reoccupy the ga strip and uh never. back in again, so this refugees who had been expelled into gaza, and now they're trying to expel them again, so this is the the objective, this is the second, the killing or expulsion of the palestinians, it's nothing to do with attempting to target hamas, of course they haven't done that yet, because one they're frightened of doing it, because they will lose so many soldiers and two because are so not convinced that the df, the so-called idf is capable of launching defensive, so that's what they're doing, they're deciding instead to take revenge on the ordinary people of gaza. well, richard, i wonder whe

>> david: matt gutman leading us off here in israel tonight. matt, thank you. >>> as you heard president biden acknowledge today, americans are among those being held hostage. and for so many families, the excruciating wait. tonight, the mother and father originally from chicago, and what they told me about the last two text messages from their son. they are doing everything they can to get their son back alive. tonight, the families living an unending nightmare. the last known images of their loved ones now playing over and over in their minds. loved ones taken captive by hamas. this young woman, noa argamani, driven away on a motorbike, her boyfriend right beside her. this woman, pulled by hamas out of the trunk of a jeep. her hands tied behind her, pushed into the back seat by her head. seniors were not spared. yafa adar, an 85-year-old grandmother, wrapped in a pink blanket, driven away on a cart by hamas. the babies, the children. a young mother, shiri bivas, kidnapped, along with her two young children, just 3 and 9 months old. her family

he is in our israel. >> david, good morning. raelis continue to strike targets along the gaza strip as 15 days into this conflict, hamas are firing into central israel. i want to move away so the cameraman can pan the sunset. you can see that's gaza in the distance, you can see the smoke rising in the area and the sun is about to go down. this is coming as we're getting new images from the southern border crossing between gaza and egypt. the rafah crossing. i want to show you the aid trucks entering the strip, 20 of them, according to officials, this was all part of a deal that was negotiated to get palestinian civilians inside gaza, much needed food and medicine. remember, last night, we brought to you the update, a small piece of good news amid this horrific story. two american citizens that were released as part of a deal negotiated by the qataris, the first two hostages taken on the october 7th massacre released from captivity inside gaza. certainly, a positive development, but i want you to listen to the father of the young

david israel has asked for extensive medical supplies and we'll take care of that quickly. and leading the story is added to germany was also considering a request for munition by these riley's alter, the repeated assurances of support since the weekend. there was little doubt that germany will give israel whatever it asks for. at the same time, trans flush shots, stepping up diplomatic efforts and bowling. he met with the amy are of katara, known to have financed from us, and consider as an influential media to in the middle east. according to his spokesman shots search the e mail to do everything in his power to bring about the release of more than $100.00 hostages, held by hum us. among them several germans of the, the situation in israel remains tends. germany has organized flights to evacuated citizens. so as groups have arrived back in the safety of the country, but they all around $100000.00 shipments in israel. evacuations are set to continue for days. and here are some other headlines connected to this conflict. natives defense ministers joined to there is really c

israel is warning of possible attacks on israelis and jews abroad. david? >> david: all right, aaron katersky with us tonight. aaron, thank you. >>> to minnesota tonight. five drug task force officers shot and wounded in princeton, minnesota, that's north of minneapolis. all are expected to survive. the officers coming under fire while excuting a search warrant at a rural home there. the suspect was also injured in the exchange. an armored vehicle and officers in tactical gear arriving to back them up. the standoff lasting several hours before the suspect was taken into custody. >>> new trouble tonight for a senator already facing serious federal charges. new jersey snowstorm bob menendez now facing new charges tonight. after pleading not guilty to fraud and accepting bribes, federal prosecutors are now accusing menendez of acting as a foreign agent of egypt. the new driment tonight includes photos of menendez and his wife dining with egyptian officials. prosecutors previously saying federal agents seized cash and bold bars from his home. menendez denies my

israel. second, it uses people as human shields. it intentionally puts them in harm's way to try to protect itself, to protect its leaders, its members, or to protect their equipment, their arms. >> david: the israeli government has acknowledged that these hamas militants were able to breach the fence in nearly 30 locations. we've now seen the video, the motorized gliders practicing their descent into israel. hamas says they've been planning this for quite some time. how did israeli intelligence miss this? >> david, that's going to be something that i know that the israelis are looking at, will study, and will get to the bottom of. it may take some time, because, of course, the focus right now is on dealing with these attacks, dealing with defending the country, dealing with trying to ensure it doesn't happen again. but there's no doubt, the israelis have said very clearly and very directly that there was an intelligence failure, and this is something that they're determined to get to the bottom of. >> david: mr. secretary, thank you. >> thanks, david. >> david: secretary blinken with me here late today. you heard me press secretary blinken on whether there have been any u.s. discussio

but that's israel's decision to make, not ours. that is what davidell israel to do. that's what george washington would tell the united states to do. i will close with words spoken to joe biden in 1982. i am not a jew with trembling knees. i am a proud a jew with 3700 years of civilized history. nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers. nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. we paid for it, fought for it, died for it. we will stand by our principles and defended them and when necessary die for them again. israel, we are with you. we are praying for you. we have real work to do here meantime. we will make sure the students at cooper union do not have to hide in a locked library for fear of violence, that jewish temples don't have to stay closed for fear of attack, that young boys in new york city want have to take off their yarmulkes when they walk on the streets because they can be proud of who they are and achieve dreams without fear. internationally we will make sure nobody stands in israel's way as

continue to really back israel, and all of this and in terms of what's in front of this, and what's happening right now, the house does not have the speaker or leadership to govern. david: divisiveness with regard to israel and whether or not israel's message concerning the bombing of the hospital in gaza. thank you so much. really appreciate you being here. prime minister netanyahu and the families, fox news correspondent mike tobin live in southern israel with more on the president's visit. >> reporter: the time the president went wheels up sundown, a flurry of activity in the gaza strip, rocket fire coming out, airstrikes going on all day long and we've listened to artillery fire. i call it light based on what we have seen in days past, more rocket fire fired by hezbollah. the prominent job of the idf, the israeli defense force trying to counter the narrative that was israel's response to the explosion. israel has backed up some video that has come from surveillance cameras in the area in which you see rockets heading in the direction of israel and a large explosion in the foreground, according to what we know so far even the us right now, officials say they believe

i think it would be a mistake for israel to occupy gaza. david: ambassador, will there be an occupation of gaza? >> the president's approach regarding the war and we heard from him and we heard he may be looking to come to visit israel, he will be welcome but let's think about occupation, we have no intention to occupy gaza and stay there, that is not our goal that we intend to go into gaza, definitely. we will hunt down hamas terrorist to find them and to kill them. it depends what you mean occupation. you ask me ground operation. i think we will have to do that and stay there permanently, that is not our goal. hopefully there will be a new regime and we will do something better for the palestinians themselves and not pose a threat to our security. david: the attack on israel by hamas came as israel was working closer and closer to having part of the abraham accord including saudi arabia. i know this is in the distant and your focus on the war right now but has this attack by hamas prevented that from happening from saudi arabia joining abraham

, i think that it should be used, not only israel, the whole world, and not only ukraine, the whole world, as i said, because the threat is spreading, mr. david, just around the perimeter of israel there are countries that constantly warn tel aviv, saying that it is not necessary to conduct a ground operation, because it will lead to a large number of civilian casualties, these are iran, and syria, and lebanon, and turkey held big, a rally or an action in support of palestine, everyone warns israel against this, which can , in your opinion, provoke these countries, join this war and turn this war into an arab-israeli one. here it is important to consider each country separately, each country has its own policy, its own interests, its own approaches , iran, of course, iran, syria, hezbollah, which is essentially the master in lebanon, these are the allies of hamas, these are the enemies of israel, and today already the yemeni hosites, it's part of that force, and so are the pro-iraqi forces, and they're all going to war in one way or another. not dared to start a full-scale war, that's why iran stays on the sidelines, that is, these countries

it's not good for israel. david the way, a lo of their arms and supplies they have in these tunnels, probably came from us, or u.n. was the interlock you are the or betwee. kim, the u.n. secretary-general made his comments in doha which, of course, is have to -- where a lot of hamas leaders hang out in their high priced hotels eating good fact. in fact, maybe right now gutierrez is having dinner with some of these people smoking cigars and so forth. i mean, he demands that there be a pause, but isn't that precisely -- and he also says what i'm doing, my main concern so to save the hostages. isn't that precisely why hamas took those 200 hostages, because they wanted to the use them as a bargaining chips? >> yeah. i mean, gutierrez is just wrong on so many levelings. you know, first of all, as bill just rightly said, tries to suggest that palestinian deaths are, is israel's responsibility. completely untrue. you also have him essentially saying now we must have a ceasefire. basically what he's doing is offering an apo

david, probably for the first time in israel's history, there is near complete unanimity in supporting the e rad case of hamas militarily and politically. david? >> david: matt gutman, thank you. >> and this evening, the new threat from hamas, with israel now retaliating in gaza. hamas threatening to execute those 100 hostages on camera, one by one. james longman tonight on the families now fearing whether their loved ones will ever come home. >> reporter: tonight, with israel now pounding gaza and hamas reacting with a threat to kill its captives, the fate of more than 100 israeli hostages hanging in the balance. their loved ones grow more desperate, wondering if they will make it home alive. >> she wants her -- she just wants her to come home back safe and sound. >> reporter: the family of 19-year-old karina ashaev, an israeli army recruit, recognized her in this video circulating online, bloody and bound as she was taken into gaza. in another video, karina is seen surrounded by other kidnapped women. her sister sasha tells me karina was doing her military service at a base on the ga

israel has to exterminate hamas. david: we have the president going into israel. what should we hear about that? he's going to be talking to the world. what do you hope he says? >> he is rooting for significant demonstration of solidarity and long relationship with israel, he is meeting with benjamin netanyahu as a show to the world that we stand with israel and according to the world. stuart: thank you for your kind words about the marines and god bless you, appreciate you being here. let's go to mike tobin in southern israel. we expected to go to you first but you had to dive on the ground. what was happening? >> reporter: more rocket fire out of the gaza strip. this is a nightly ritual, they came in our direction. a bunch of soldiers hit the dirt as well. usually we see the interceptors from the iron dome. the interceptors got those, we will find out the information later and find out if they came down and caused damage. the airstrikes go back into the gaza strip, they have the highest value target yet, who was head of the hamas intelligence division, before he

. >> david, israel is in gaza now. what are the up against? >> so far, they haven't really entered the densely populated parts of gaza strip. once they get into gaza city, i think they will face urban warfare. block to block fighting. expectations hamas will be coming out of the tunnels and ambushing israeli soldiers. the other thing they'll be facing again i think that these hostages. we talked about it earlier, there will be pressure on netanya to try and make deals. it's hard to take track of all this. simmons reported that there was real momentum towards a possible release of more hostages on friday. what tomas was demanding was a humanitarian pause, we are just talking about, for fuel to come into gaza. netanyahu said, no, and there was a very aggressive operation after. that the danger is, this argument that the more military pressure hamas feels, i hate to say this, but i think israeli troops get close to one of these locations where the hostages are going to be held, hamas will kill those captives. i do not see them just giving up and

martin fletcher and david rohde are still with us. you know, israelu know these people very well, martin. what do you make of this? how is this time different? >> well, in times of war, it's famously said that everybody unites behind the government, and any difficulties there are, any issues they have to wait till the war is over. this time it's a little bit different. the united for sure. that you nation was so divided, so totally divided down the middle, right before the war. it couldn't just stop on a dime. there are many calls now for netanyahu to go. people are saying he should resign. after such a disaster, he should resign. the chief of staff to, coming under a lot of criticism, obviously. netanyahu, one of the reasons that hamas attack to, one assumes, and many reasons, one of, them they must have looked at the situation in israel and seen a divided, confused country. and the country was divided and confused, very simply, because of netanyahu's attempt to change the legal system, and to diminish the powers of the supreme court. hundreds of tho

israel with more right now. trey. >> reporter: yeah, david, good morning. right now we are on the front lines between israel and gaza. we've listened as israeli shells whiz overhead. also the factions inside gaza continuing rocket fire towards southern and central israel 15 days into this conflict. if sirens still sound in the city of tel aviv, the second largest population center in this country. i do want to show you what the scene was like last night here as factions inside gaza fired mortars at this location. thirteen palestinians were killed -- we need to go, because there could be mortar fire here. just stay with me. everyone -- yep, leave the camera and just stay with me. we've got to move because we're very close. that's mortar. get into cover. everyone in? listen to our camera. [background sounds] so what you heard there, the whistle of incoming mortar fire. so those e were, indeed, mortars that were fired at this position. and we are so close to the gaza border, you have about 10 seconds to get to cover. that plan that we just implemented there, we

everybody's a good guy, that kind of thing, this is a brutal war in israel needs to go when and continue to do with her doing. davidah, i'm wondering why hasn't iran and of course they control everything that hezbollah does why hasn't iran ordered hezbollah to unleash the huge weaponry on israel, what are they waiting for. >> i think one of the things that they are waiting on with the squad and the other militia groups in syria is that the united states military presence in the eastern has probably given them pause if hezbollah opens up, if syria starts moving and turkey starts moving as is possible and the fear then the united states will be put on the horns of a dilemma iran is pushing them brinksmanship how far can they push what do they need to do and what is the ultimate goal. is there goal just to get israel on the defensive and on the offensive to where they look bad in the eyes of the public globally and continue to stir up all this hatred and created international insurgency that seems to bubble up all over the world. david: no matter what israel does they are the narrative that is out there and they're go

. >> bill: thanks, david israel retaliating for the deadliest day for jews since the holocaust.t's happening at this moment? 4:38 in gaza as our coverage continues. >> back here today, you've spoken as president of the united states so clearly in support of israel so clearly in support of jewish people, what a dramatic distance we've traveled in the united states and how we as a jewish community are blessed to live today in the united states. ranted automatic authority by the va to make our own loan approval decisions. in fact, if you've had credit challenges and missed a payment along the way, you're more than five times more likely to get approved for the newday 100 va cash out loan. no one knows veterans like newday usa. [city ambience sounds] [car screech] [car door slam] [camera shutter sfx] introducing ned's plaque psoriasis. [camera shutter sfx] he thinks his flaky, red patches are all people see. otezla is the #1 prescribed pill to treat plaque psoriasis. [ned?] it can help you get clearer skin and reduce itching and flaking. with no routine blood tests required. doctors

as former american ambassador to israel, mr. david friedman, who will be here in just a moment, he just wrote israel must achieve complete annihilation of hamas. no more containment. there will be no stupid deal between iran, hamas or any of these terrorists. sure sounds like iran is the spokesperson for hamas. iran has been bankrolling, masterminding all these terrorist groups for many years. iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the middle east and perhaps the rest of the world for that matter. the question is why would president biden quibble over this? that is what his "60 minutes" quote sounds like. he doesn't want to give away classified info so he is doing one of these ambiguous quibbles. my final thought? let's do this, let israeli defense forces take care of hamas in the gaza strip. as for the u.s., i would suggest the u.s. would make a great contribution if they implemented all the business and banking sanctions on iran that have been mandated by congress. one way to crush hamas, one way to crush hamas is to bank

>> david: malt gutman with us tonight here in israel. matt, thank you. >>> and just moments ago, i spoke with a lieutenant colonel of the israeli defense forces. we asked him, will there be a ground incursion? and what about the house tajs? is there anything being done right now to get them home alive? and we ask about the palestinians who might not support hamas, the civilians who are now paying a price. but we begin here with the horror we witnessed in southern israel with our interview moments ago. lieutenant colonel, thank you for being with us tonight. we are just bay from bea 'be more than 100 kills in that community alone. as far as the israeli military is concerned, we know that 360,000 israeli reservists have now been called up. we know the tanks, the soldiers now amassing along the gaza border. is there a ground incursion coming here? >> yeah, the sights of the carnage in be'eri definitely put things into perspective, one would think. we have called up reserves. the reserves are from ground units. infan infantry, armor, artille

israel. each day, the fighting and the suffering only grows. >> david: just extraordinary pictures from insidetonight. ian pannell joins us from tel aviv again this evening. ian, you and i both saw this on the ground in israel, this massive israeli troop buildup. in addition to what you showed us, this is what we witnessed yesterday. so many places, including the site of one of the deadliest hamas massacres that many call ground zero. you can see in the faces of so many young faces preparing to go into battle. people in gaza we know given 24 hours to evacuate. that window is now closing, and of course, the question, is what could happen next? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. it was a huge undertaking and lots of people expressed reservations, including the united nations, about the viability of moving so many people in such a short period of time. but you're right, what happens next? one thing interesting that took place today was that israeli special forces conducted a series of raids inside gaza. so, they've already been inside there today. they were looking for hamas infrastructure, weapons

ambassador israel david him night. >> israel will annihilate hamas given the opportunity. larry: or in military terms, general jack keane told us this last week. >> we have to be up front about what needs to be done. we need to kill them, that is the only thing that stops these guys, they are committed to this bar ar implemeism, we have to go baradaba barbarism? we have to go in and kill them. larry: i hope president biden understands this, give biden credit so far, for standing behind israel and supports israel. the diplomatic talk that mr. biden is going to israel because his secretary of state antony blinken got assurances from prime minister netanyahu of a substantial humanitarian aid package for palestine. a hupp -- hundreds of trucks are lined up on the border in egypt to enter the gaza strip for quote humanitarian aid. there is now inspection of this aid. could be baby formula or war materials, who the run this aid? hamas. as caroline glick rights, all so-called ministries in gaza are hamas, all of the hospitals, and distribution done by hamas. caroline glick will j

. >>> also tonight, cbs's david martin reports on israel's prize defense system. >> israel's iron dome has intercepted hundreds of missiles, saving countless lives. >> oh my god! >> reporter: plus, a ring of fire darkened skies in several states. >> what's better than to take your picture with an eclipse in the background? >>> and later, this hispanic heritage month. we remember an artist larger than life with a passion for inflated form. >> when you see a voluptuous, rounded figure, everybody says it is a potato. >>> good evening. i'm robert costa. one week after israel suffered a deadly surprise attack by hamas militants from gaza, the sealed off territory is in turmoil. tonight, many palestinians are trying to flee from the north after israel ordered them to evacuate. and as bombardments from the air intense faye, ahead of an expected ground invasion. benjamin netanyahu says the next stage, quote, is coming, and a sweeping attack is planned. but gaza is already being hit. this video showing the moment of an israeli airstrike on emergency workers responding to an earlier attack. in t

at camp david, it is decided that the opposite. israel'sce from gaza and the west bank leave to prepare the ground for the self-governing government in these areas. in fact, cam david was a document to recognize israel so that it would not be isolated. egypt was israel's biggest threat from the beginning, and israel tried to be relieved by egypt in any way. for this reason, it was necessary for egypt to recognize israel as the first arab country in order to eliminate the biggest threat to israel forever. in the 1970s, everything was in favor of israel. the victories of the army were happening while in the heart of society a strange thing was happening that was in conflict with human concepts. after the war, thousands of people immigrate to the occupied territories, including yemenis. they are accommodated in temporary camps. different people, male and female, old and young , attend the camps. women have come with children and the elderly. medical examinations will begin immediately. doctors take some children with them under the pretext of

for israel, it is israel and america or israel alone. david: he did mention last night iran but the question whether his words match what he has actually done in terms of sanctions. we know sanctions were eased for iran to collect tens of billions of dollars more in oil revenue than they had at the end of the trump administration when there was some dealings with sanctions with regard to un sanctions that were expiring, the us would put more but when it comes to oil revenue it wasn't anything serious what white house did this week to stop them from getting this coil bonanza. >> not at all and the horrific events of october 7th are the wages of the tens of billions as you said that poured into the islamic public -- republic of iran since biden took office. if that's holding them accountable i don't think they should continue to do it, they should stop doing it and this is all everyone should be clear because they have refused to enforce the sanctions we placed on iran to cut off that revenue and when we cut it off, there wasn't a spike in terro

israel. larry: ambassador david friedman, from israel. stay safe as best as you can. much more, we have bret develop low very much former intel operations. we appreciate it. israel's gameplan on the ground with respect to taking back hamas, knocking them out once and for all, what are you thinking, brett? >> i'm thinking they have already started. they have launched a wave of airstrikes and attacks on gaza. there was formal declaration of war issued. that is important to give leaders latitude to conduct major operations. israel carried out major campaigns in gaza that appeared as wars but these were without formal declaration. what this does gives the green light to israel to take military steps against hamas. no doubt hamas will pay the price. benjamin netanyahu ordered mobilization of 100,000 israeli ground forces. that is imminent. they have to respond disproportionately, they have to respond over the top. this military operation has to restore deterrents. they have to hammer hamas, re-establish that deterrence and unfortunately this will be a very bloody battle ge

extremely interesting and honest conversation, i want to remind our tv viewers that currently david handelman israel was working for them on espresso. military expert. it's our time programs have run out, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will analyze the most important events of the day. take care of yourself and your loved ones, see you on the air. i understand, i will not be able to sit at home, and the more we will be freed, or since we have a lot of people. wounded guys, we simply will not have anyone to protect our land, on the one hand, and on the other hand, there will be no one to help them. when the full-scale invasion began, at that time i was in a private clinic in civilian life, at work and with a child, before that i i was a volunteer from the age of 15 . men who went through the ato school, let's say, they couldn't stand aside, well, i was the same, i couldn't go abroad, leave, let's say, my family, because no one wanted to my relatives to go abroad, because this is our land, our home, no one wanted to leave, and i went to serve, what was the first? where they got first

israel to sites in europe. >> byron: my colleague, david muir in israel pressing secretary blinken about the u.s.ernment's efforts to free americans held hostage by hamas. >> these families are enduring an excruciating wait. what can you tell them about what's happening right now to try to get these hostages out ali alive? >> i met with the families of a number of americans who have been either murdered by hamas or are likely in the hands of hamas. and to the families who may have loved ones in the hands of hamas what i told them is this. we are doing everything we can, looking at every possible option to bring their loved ones back to them. >> david: does that include u.s. military, special forces? >> i'm not going to get into the specifics of what we're looking at. >> byron: over the border in gaza -- urgent cries for bodies found in rubble in the aftermath of another israeli air strike. gaza on the brink of calamity. israel cutting off crucial water and electricity for days. the red cross saying without that power, hospitals are at risk of turning into morgues. >> my feeling is that the palest

israel. the israeli happiness of forming a jewish homeland on the promised land did not last long. the very next day, when davidnited neighbor attacked israel. the fledgeling israel had no aircraft nor tanks, and the arabs were superior against the zionists in the number of fighters and arms, and their victory seemed certain. the same theory turned into reality, and the arabs achieved significant victories. the zionist saw with their own eyes that the jewish homeland was on the edge of destruction. david bin goran and his companions had to do something, so they went around the world to buy weapons. finally, czechoslovakia and russia sold arms to israel, the weapons of the eastern block changed the equation of power on the battlefield. arabs were optimistic and participated with part of their power in the war, but they were unsuccessful. the un was under the us pressure to declare a ceisfire to end the arab israeli conflict and pressured the arabs to sign a ceasefire agreement with israel. after nine months of fighting invain, the cease spire put an end to the conflict. the arabs did not accept. the peace agreem

ambassador to israel david friedman joins us thousand from jerusalem.id, thank you for joining us. first of all, how are you. give our viewers a sense of the environment in jerusalem from your perspective. >> well, i'm fine. i've been through this, unfortunately, many times before. i'm sitting with, in my home with a bunch of grandchildren who are, unfortunately, experiencing this for the first time, and i feel for them because, you know, we're running in and out of shelters, and we have to explain to them what's happening. they don't understand there are people that want to kill jews, and it's an exposure to an ugly world that i wish i didn't have to share with them. but physically i think we're fine. people down south, hutch less so. pete: david, it was a surprise to the world, but to the idf as well. what's the conversation inside is reel surrounding the -- israel surrounding the capability of defense forces? is it shaken right now? >> oh, it's shaken to the core. this is not consistent at all with israel's perception of itself. the israeli intellige

as former american ambassador to israel mr. david freeman he will be here and just submit, israel must achieve the annihilation of hamas. no more containment is not going to be any deal from iran or hamas or any of these terrorists. but it sure does sound like iran is the spokesperson for hamas. with all these terrorist groups for many years. iran is the biggest in the middle east and perhaps the rest of the world for that matter. the question is why would president biden quibble over this. that is what his 60 minutes quote sounds like pretty does not want to give away classified info so he's doing an ambiguous quibble. my final thought, how about this. that the israeli defense forces take care of hamas in the gaza strip and for the u.s., let me suggest the u.s. could really make a great contribution if it implemented all of the energy, banking and business sanctions on iran that it been mandated by congress. one way to crash hamas is to bankrupt iran. with no quibbles. joyed we now we mentioned david friedman ambassador to israel. w

i think david is making a very important point, but again, the question is for israel and not for theted states which is a very difficult one which is what is a long-term, sustainable situation unlike in afghanistan or iraq, the united states could leave because that's not our neighbor. this is something that is a permanent problem that is affixed by definition at this point to the state of israel. in that sense there's a much more existential crisis that israel is just in the beginning of going through. it's not only the failures that led up to this and there were failures and that would be a big reckoning in israeli society and it's beyond that because it goes to this question of were we living in a dream world of our own the reckoning that's come crashing down upon us, the unsustainability of the status quo? in some ways it was always, always this challenge that was going -- >> any idea that it's been, quote, unquote, quiet to you? >> absolutely. the idea that gaza was on any kind of of a sustainable path. this is not sustainable and in some ways it was also a question of what was

israel other missile-defense system, david sling intercepted the rocket. gives sense of onion type system israel uses to intercept the fire. it is larger systems like david sling and arrow system that could intercept rocket or missile fire from place like yemen or iran. israel has a multi facet system to intercept any projectiles, but it is not perfect and can get overwhelmed if there is fire from multiple directions, that is another way that palestinian militant try to overwhelm the system here, they fire multiple times from multiple locations in multiple directions, you saw it live on the ground when others pass through and slam communities along the border. you saw it yesterday on "fox and friends," we were just over the gaza border and theres a pool of blood and shrapnel on the side of a building because they can cause significant damage. latest reporting, there was a rocket fired from the gaza strip toward city of haiffa in northern part of israel and it was intercepted by david sling system. >> brian: trey, with defense missile systems, do they have t

palestinian ambassador to the united kingdom said the attack on israel was coming their way in his words, said to appear alongside davide labour party conference later on -- she is that still the case? >> look, i am very upset about those remarks. israel and the attacks on civilians, the festival goers, the children who have been taken hostage. it is completely unacceptable. and here, david, myself, the whole of the labour party, stand by the people of israel at this moment. >> what should david lammy, who is potentially the next foreign secretary, being appearing on a stage with those who -- perished -- >> i don't know -- >> let me just finish the question, ms. rachel reeves -- so many people murdered, slaughtered, in cold blood on saturday morning. and this palestinian ambassador saying it was coming their way. is it in any way appropriate that your would be foreign secretary sharing a stage with him. >> i don't know what david's schedule is for a conference. i have not heard those remarks. but they are totally unacceptable, and we disagree with them entirely. >> would you implore david not to share the stage with hi

militants shot more than 260 civilians, another native of russia, thirty-four-year-old david lystsov, who repatriated to israelked as a security guard and died protecting a music festival that was the first to be killed by the intruders from... joe, i want to give you a clear picture of the difficult situation we are facing, we have had hundreds of people killed, families were destroyed in their beds, in their homes, more than a hundred were kidnapped, including children, the scale of this evil only worsened, we have never seen such savagery in the history of the state and must treat it accordingly, they will regret this moment, will never return to to what was, whoever comes to behead and kill women who survived the holocaust, we will destroy him with all our might and without compromise. hamas wanted change in the gaza strip, now it will change 180° from what they expected. israel is obviously preparing for a ground operation, large military units are concentrated near the gas border, primarily tank brigades, now more than 3,000 reservists are under arms and the ministry of defense is going to call up anothe

and, david, authorities have not linked this terror attack to israel's war against hamas. but the real fear here is it remains the largest terror threat in europe. and we are seeing heightened security across the world. >> david: to other news tonight, the judge in the election interference case issuing a new and narrow gag order tonight. what the judge now says former president trump cannot do. here's aaron pa ter ski. >> reporter: tonight, former president trump is under a new and narrow gag order. a federal judge in washington now limiting what trump can say about his election interference case, potential witnesses and the prosecutor, special counsel jack smith. "i cannot imagine any other criminal case in which the defendant is permitted to call the prosecutor 'deranged,' or a 'thug,'" judge tanya chutkan said. "i will not permit it here." trump has pleaded not guilty to conspiring to defraud the united states and obstruct the certification of the 2020 election results and argued his social media posts and public statements about the case are protected political speech.

david. that israel and the united states made offers they knew that yasser arafat could not accept and as a result they were made to look bad. >> reporter: just two months after those talks failed to get an agreement, a former israeli defense minister who many arabs call the butcher of beirut for israel's 1982 invasion of lebanon made a provocative, heavily guarded visit to the temple mount. a holy site in christianity, judaism, and islam. it is also a flash point of contention over who should control it. israelis or arabs? >> the violence that observers believe to be inevitable erupted. >> reporter: just the first sparks of what became the second intefadeh, a violent and deadly conflict between israelis and palestinians over israeli occupation of the west bank and gaza. the second would last nearly five years. a half decade fight in which hamas became known for their routine use of both terror and destruction. >> over time more and more of israel came into range. >> reporter: israeli forces demolished over 4,000 palestinian homes and arrested thousands. israel shut down and bombed ministri
