eli cohen was extremely angered by it. i antonio guterres said.i think we've seen _ extremely angered by it. i think we've seen that _ extremely angered by it. i think we've seen that israel - extremely angered by it. i think we've seen that israel has - extremely angered by it. i think| we've seen that israel has really sharply criticised anyone who tries to tie hamas attacks on october seven two its occupation of palestinian land, the longest in the world. what we saw in the security council was a clear message from the secretary—general that while palestinian grievances cannot justify the killing of innocent civilians by hamas on october seven that so two that cannot justify the collective punishment of 2 million palestinian civilians in gaza. the secretary—general did what un officials often do, they put the conflict in context, saying that the attack did not happen in a vacuum. it was the result that night because palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. he went on to say their lands have been to evolve by

okay, so, so in israel actually has race rights in germany, support to is randy counterpart, eli cohen is, bab bulk has been visiting the southern town, a nifty nekky vault which was over run by how much medicine. so the weekend, the way she said how much is holding the whole of causes population hostage. one of the reasons for her visits is to speak with the families in german citizens who are being held captive by the isn't, isn't that us increase this? well, i wrote correspondence that tiny trema is also in that nasty vault and joins us now . a welcome, tanya. so why is atlanta babble very well, i think you said it's a, it's mainly a visit of sony doroty. she said very clearly. uh, she came here to the town and that to go to meet with their counterpart, a cooling. and they went to meet a members of the minister, probably to hear the went to a situation room and the ultimate, he and that you've got some families whose last ones are believe to be, have been taken hostage to garza. so she said herself, she was shown a video of some of what happened last, a talk today, the a talk to a g

the foreign policy chiefjosep borrell has said he had invited the israeli foreign minister eli cohenign minister eli cohen to join the eu foreign ministers meeting to discuss the situation in israel and he has also invited the palestinian authority posing foreign minister riyad al—maliki to address the meeting and present the views of the palestinian authority. that is coming into us from the european union. the eu trying to sort some discussion around the situation in israel with the israeli foreign minister and the palestinian authority puzzling foreign minister. let's move live now and go to ashkelon, a few kilometres north of gaza and israel. it has been hit by a number of rockets from gaza and anna foster is there right now. what is the latest on what has been happening where you are? the on what has been happening where you are? ,., , ., are? the southern israeli communities, _ are? the southern israeli communities, the - are? the southern israeli communities, the once i are? the southern israeli | communities, the once so are? the southern israeli - communities, the once so cl

foreign minister eli cohen has, we understand, canceled a planned meeting with secretary general antonio evening. we. also listened to a statement from the top palestinian diplomat. ongoing the killings that the occupying state israel intends to systematically commit against the palestinian civilian population, which is under illegal occupation, must be stopped. the security council must stop them. the international community has an obligation to stop them in accordance with international law. it is our shared commitment to stop them, stop them now. the ongoing inability of this security council to do this does not exist. does the administration agree with today's statements by the un secretary general that hamas attacks, i quote, did not happen out of nowhere,

. >> reporter: eli cohen says the militants captured his 27-year-old niece at the music festival on october 7th. >> altogether they were kidnapping her into gaza strip. >> reporter: last night, two israeli american hostages were released. does that give you hope? >> yes, it gives me hope, because we see there are negotiations with hamas and they understand they need to let people go. >> reporter: after a brief pause yesterday, israel announced it's stepping up its bombardment of gaza starting today and says it finalized plans to expand its operations, sign os a much anticipated ground incursion which could complicate the return of more hostages. and along israel's northern board we are lebanon, they exchanged fire with hezbollah, the powerful iran-backed militia there. an israeli american soldier killed there in the skirmishes. up to 200 israelis unaccounted for, and around 300 remains have yet to be identified. >>> the hardest cases come to the institute to forensic medicine in tel aviv. where gurney after gurney carry bodies mutilated, riddled with bullets, and charred beyond recognition.

delegation but also eli cohen canceled a meeting he had with the secretary general after the securityouncil speech in which he gave earlier this morning. let me read to you a little bit of what the u.n. ambassador has tweeted out, he said "the shocking speech by the u.n. secretary general while rockets are being fired at israel proved beyond any doubt the secretary general is completely disconnected from reality in our region, goes on to say that he shows understanding for the campaign of mass murder, of children, women and the elderly. he is not fit to lead the u.n.. i call on him to resign immediately." in other words, the israeli ambassador saying the secretary general doesn't understand what mass murder and vicious barbaric savage terrorism is attacking the innocent civilians of israel based on the radical islamic ideology and hatred of the mass murdering terrorists of hamas. we will likely see more fireworks on the diplomatic front from this, certainly the arab states will probably weigh in on behalf of the secretary general. the palestinian observer accusing israel of violating

the head of midrail, eli cohen, said that tel aviv will not allow hamas to retain even the slightestad of the netanyahu government made a similar statement. according to bibi, members of hamas can already consider themselves dead, and this is a direct quote; also in his address to the nation, netanyahu once again said that israel is preparing for an operation, but again did not give any deadlines. meanwhile, according to the wall street journal, israel has postponed ground operation in the sector so that the united states has time to strengthen air defense at its middle eastern bases, but french president macron also said in egypt that. a headquarters ground operation hanging around in gas would be a mistake. according to the french humanitarian, a general israeli military invasion of the palestinian enclave will lead to a large number of civilian casualties, but will not ensure, as macron put it , the security of the state in the long term. it is unlikely, one must understand, that macron worries so much about the palestinians, rather emmanuel worries about 6 million muslims with fr

eli cohen said that this action aims to re-evaluate talavi relations. ankara is done. the president of turkey said in his speech: hamas is not a terrorist group and the west is the main responsible for what happened in gaza. rajab pidoghan emphasized: the zionist regime would not have lasted three days without the support of western countries, and western officials have become deaf and dumb in front of the killings in gaza. simultaneously with the information failure. zionist regime of the palestinian resistance in al-aqsa storm operation and the military experts of this regime admit their failures . now the zionist regime has become the target of a cyber attack by the hacking group of the staff of moses. at 1:20 a.m., esai musa hacking group, in an operation by penetrating the storage infrastructure of the zionist companies, deletes more than 30 terabytes of information and disrupts the work of the data centers of these companies. hackers say that a file containing information from the main and the reserve of zionist soldiers included. they have the responsibility uni

we are talking about the invitation of the minister of foreign affairs of israel, eli cohen, as wellthe minister of foreign affairs riyad al-maliki. let me remind you that on october 7, hamas militants entered the territory of israel from the gaza strip. according to the israeli embassy in the united states, more than 1,000 israelis have died since the start of the attack. another nearly 3,500 people were injured. danish business expands partnership with by leo, even during the war. in the city of leva danskyi, the minister of food, jacob jensen and the head of the lviv regional military administration maksym kozytskyi signed a memorandum on cooperation in the agro-industrial sector. they agreed to expand ukrainian exports and open more danish farm enterprises, because lviv region remains the largest region in ukraine. where do such companies work? we are only a small country from the north, but we show you all the support we can and do our best. your struggle is our struggle, the support we provide in the military and civil sectors, as well as on the way to the european union, and w

but israel immediately launches a pr campaign against that, demanding his resignation, people like eli cohen and and avegore leberman and uh they'... on tv, they they're given prime time spots, they demand good a step down, this is blood libel, this is racism, he hates jews, this anti-semitism, all of this stuff is untrue, mean remarks were perfectly reason, there was nothing he said that that wasn't again obviously factually true, so so what you are up against here is the the media machine of the west, if you google camp david, the story is that palestinians could have had a great deal and they turned it down, well it wasn't a great deal, the osl of course, not, nothing has ever been presented to the palestinians that was what you would term a reasonable deal, and uh, this is because at the beginning we have 1947, the nabaka, the complete uh terrorist takeover of palestine, and thousands of people were murdered, you can, you can see interviews. with the original uh members of urgun and the hognon and so forth the stern gang, you some of them are still alive, they talk about, they laugh abou

minister of foreign affairs affairs of the jewish state, eli cohen said who does not want to meet withry general antónio guteres. i will not meet with the un secretary general; after october 7 there is no room left for a balanced approach. hamas must be wiped off the face of the earth. but this is not enough; israel stops issuing visas to employees. the united states provides unequivocal support for israel, considering the date of october 7 as the beginning of the confrontation. president biden was clear about who to blame. for october 7, hamas, not israel, not innocent israelis, over who were bullied at a music festival, this is hamas, they planned this for many months, maybe a year, hamas is guilty, hamas is guilty, to once again understand the fundamental discrepancy in the chronology of the conflict, israel and the united states believe that it all started with a brutal terrorist act by hamas in israel october 7, un secretary general rolls back it is also important to recognize that the hamas attacks did not occur in a vacuum. the people of palestine lived under a suffocating occup

in the council, the israeli foreign minister eli cohen appeared quite angry, pointing at the secretaryal, asking him what world he was living in. he then cancelled a planned meeting with the secretary general, but we understand the secretary—general did meet families of the hostages. we have seen the divisions play out on the security council, many nations calling for a ceasefire including russia, china, the arab delegations. but the west is endorsing calls for humanitarian causes, so what we have now are rival draughts by russia and the us, it appears both will block the other�*s resolution, only leading to more paralysis on the security council. the leading to more paralysis on the security council.- the security council. the us secretary — the security council. the us secretary of _ the security council. the us secretary of state _ the security council. the us secretary of state antony i secretary of state antony blinken urged member states at the un to send a united message and urge them not to procure on the fire. it comes as the war on the ground between israel and hamas intensif

the head of the israeli ministry of foreign affairs, eli cohen, was also hysterical; he refused to meetho are not on the right side of history will be judged by it, and added that it is impossible to justify the massacre of innocent civilians, it is really impossible, but no one has ever justified it, these words were voiced on against the backdrop of the ongoing bombing of the gaza sector, gaza, not israel, it is in gaza now... this news shocked the diplomatic world, it the main news from here is that israeli ambassador gildan called on secretary guterres to immediately resign because of his statements. some who are here perceived the secretary general's speech as a way to justify terrorism. it is also important to recognize that the hamas attacks did not occur in a vacuum. the palestinian people were forced to live under a suffocating occupation for 5-6 years. they saw their land gradually taken over by expanding settlements. they are infected with violence, their economy is strangled, their people are displaced and their homes are destroyed. their hopes for political decision, their

foreign minister of the jewish state eli cohen said he does not want to meet with secretary general antoniomeet with the un secretary general; after october 7 there is no room left for a balanced approach. hamas. should be wiped off the face of the earth, but this is not enough, israel stops issuing visas to un employees, the united states provides unequivocal support for israel, considering the date of october 7 as the beginning of the confrontation. president biden clearly said who is to blame for october 7, hamas, nor israel, not the innocent israelis who were bullied at a music festival, it's hamas, they planned this for months, maybe a year, hamas is guilty, guilty? hamas, in order to once again understand the fundamental discrepancy in the chronology of the conflict, israel and the united states believe that it all started with a brutal terrorist attack. hamas in israel october 7 the un secretary general rolls back and points to prehistory. once again, this is the central point of disagreement. it is also important to recognize that hamas' attacks did not occur in a vacuum. residents

in particular here in this -- >> so the testimony of jeffrey levine about his client michael cohen, elie honig, let me go back to you. do you think the plea deals in the georgia case, we already have had four individuals flip on trump, there might be six others. do you think they could undermine the credibility of the case? >> well, jake, i think on one hand it is ai good thing for prosecutors to get plea deals because you're locking in convictions and sort of showing the world that, yes, these people who i charged are guilty. but however we do have to ask what is in the plea deals. because here is the reality now. we've seen four people plead guilty so far. all four of them were charged with being part of this massive racketeering enterprise. the goal was to steal the 2020 election. looking at a five-year minimum in prison. what they've been allowed to plead guilty to, none have had to plead guilty to racketeering, and not a single one them is doing a day behind bars as a result of pleas. now are they going to cooperate in a way that is effective and useful to the d.a. that remain tos t

we first met with eli cohen, the minister of foreign affairs and received an update on the war. here we heard for the first time the true nature of the atrocities that the hamas savages were conducting -- rape, beheadings, dragging blood did id bodies into the streets -- dragging blood ied bodies into the streets. and among those dead were american citizens. the israeli foreign minister made it very clear that the threat hamas poses to civilization is no less than what the u.s. faced with isis in iraq, where i served, and in syria. and i couldn't agree more. these terrorists are monsters, and they deserve nothing short of destruction. we then spoke with the family of jaime perry, an 80-year-old peace activist and father of five who was kidnapped from his home during the invasion. we heard firsthand accounts of the inhumanity of the attack, the destruction of their home, the violence his family endured, and ultimately that one of his sons was murdered defending the family. shaken but not deterred, the delegation carried on to tel aviv where we met with the minister of strategic a

eli honig, thanks. maggie haberman, general cohen, thank you mark hertling, as well. the race for the house speaker, congressman jim jordan, lobbying moderates, the former president said he can do the job to. later, ukraine and a memorial service faced a russian attack. a report from the scene from one of the deadliest attacks. >> last night, the former president was near the capitol, was on the ellipse at the january six, rather ng's followers to march on. tonight, he tells fox that he would return if asked a return as how speaker. he's expected to be there on tuesday to speak with house republican. speaking today with cnn's christiane amanpour, his 2016 opponent hillary clinton weighed in on the former president. >> it's a classic tale of an authoritarian populace who really has a grip on the emotional, psychological needs and desires of a portion of the population. and that base of the republican party, for whatever combination of reasons, and it is emotional and psychological, cease and someone who speaks for them. and they are determined that they will continue t

the head of the mid-country, eli cohen, said that tel aviv will not allow hamas to retain even the slightestthe soldiers ahead. combines, warehouses, control centers and even underground military factories, some of which are located at a depth inaccessible to even the most powerful ammunition in service with the sakhalin. strictly speaking, this dungeon system makes attacks on gas now absolutely meaningless, unless, of course, tel aviv still intends to destroy hamas, and not the peaceful sector. the israeli army called it in preparation for the next stages of the battle, video footage released by the idf shows tanks crossing the gaza border for another localized raid. israel has been carrying out targeted incursions into the strip since the hamas attack on october 7, but faces a broader ground offensive promised by the prime minister. a ground invasion is sure to happen if israel wants to destroy hamas, and the international community is putting pressure on israel to delay the operation. our main goal is to save our country and achieve victory, we will rain hell on hamas, we have already eli

potential witness here, and it may not be the best thing for the case. >> elie, you wanted to say something about michael cohen do you call him as a witness, but as paula reid said, he is the first one to bring it to our attention, because he brought it to congress, and this inflation and deflation of assets is something that was done all of the time at the trump organization. on the other hand, he has baggage and plead guilty to various fraud and perjury offenses years ago and he obviously and strongly dislikes donald trump to put it mildly, and the real question as a potential witness is how specific is his knowledge, because he has been pressed by this including here on cnn where he has appeared a couple of times, and what specific transaction can you point out the that you know that the value is inflated and cohen's response is usually that i can tell you something that was done generally across the board which is helpful to the a.g.'s office but not what you need to make this case. >> don't they have two people who can tell them, allan weisselberg who has gone to prison for tax evasion, and donald bender
