yesterday from the defence i yesterday from the defence minister here, who said that the idf, israel defense forceace plans to enable the voluntary removal of gazans from the gaza strip. they have gone slightly less far than the president of the us, who said that this was something that is force, which would be a crime under international law, but what they are talking about is giving gazans the option to move. a statement from the defence minister spoke about this as a right that all people should have. critics of the government here will say, it is rather interesting timing that the people of gaza, who have been denied that right to remove it for so long should be given it, at this point, but that certainly seems to be the line that the defence minister is taking. joe inwood in jerusalem, thank you. president trump has doubled down on his plan for a us "takeover�* of gaza — despite continued criticism from world leaders. the plan still seems far from concrete, with little detailfrom trump's team on how this could actually play out, though he did firm up that us troops will not be "on the ground"

papers, the pair were driven away by the red cross and were officially handed over to the israel defense forces. the third named hostage — keith seegol — was handed over in a separate ceremony in gaza city. in the october seventh hamas attacks. in exchange, a palestinian advocacy group says israel is releasing 183 prisoners — more than double the figure previously reported. to our correspondent, joe inwood. we seen from israeli jails being released back into their communities. im ”eole have been some of these peoplehave been detention some of these peepleheve been detention for same qf these peepleheve been detention for a very in detention for a very long he was a in detention for a very long time, he was a very serious crimes. has been arrested far recently. they have been more recently. they have been held in what called detention. it administrative detention. it say they're held f . z? te ”2 fjjey 7 hie} i129? scenes, people ——— 7 the buses and trying to _. ant mahh n th gas a "5-25 es _d �*rr . e bus-.. i . ....

a senior fellow of the international institute for counter-terrorism and retired from the israel defense forces. good to see you again. again, i'm happy to to be talking to you on a day when more hostages have been released. you were watching along. your emotions as you see these first those two and then the one single hostage released today. >> just when you're asking me, i'm getting goosebumps again. um, my reaction today is very mixed, kim, because yarden bibas came out and his wife, shiri, the ginger haired woman that we've seen so often with the two ginger haired, red headed kids she has not yet been heard of her two children, not yet heard of, and jardine is back. and in the psychological terrorism that hamas did, in addition to everything else, they released months ago, a video where they informed jardine in captivity that his wife and children had been killed. so just to see her then come back and not to see. shiri and kfir and ariel, um, wow. that's like a real tough one. and then i saw keith siegel and kim keith is more or less my age. very similar type of backgrounds. my parents immi

a senior fellow of the international institute for counter-terrorism and retired from the israel defense forces. miri, thank you so much for joining us. um, you know, what a stark difference, because we saw those chaotic scenes surrounding the release of israeli hostages in gaza last week. that, of course, triggered condemnation from israel and a delay in the release of the palestinian prisoners. now we hear from jumana that this is a complete 180. everything's going smooth and organized. um, what do you make of that? >> the word i didn't hear from. >> jumana was the word hamas. my heart goes out to every single palestinian. why are there. >> no hospitals? >> because that's where hamas was and that's where they placed themselves. and hamas are the ones that are trying to pose themselves as the responsible. i would say not responsible, not authority. these last 484 days, hamas did this. they could have stopped it at any stage, handed over the snatched hostages. the people that were released right now were taken from their homes in pajamas on saturday morning, october 7th. one of them, yarden bib

held accountable in his eyes, blamed the world, blamed the intelligence, blamed the idf, the israel defense forces, blamed uh, biden, blamed qatar, blamed everyone except himself. the chief of staff announced his resignation. the defense minister was dismissed. the head of military intelligence resigned. the head of the southern command resigned, but only mr. netanyahu has nothing to do with it. so on the face of it, i would say that emotions and sentiment in israel are now at a point where he will not be forgiven for for not progressing into the next phase, meaning releasing the other hostages. and in a way, resuming the war. on the other hand, i don't know, because he seemed to have, uh, withheld until now. >> israel as a nation has endured a lot. it's gone through a lot. has it ever endured something equivalent to this? the drip, drip, drip release of israeli hostages weekend after weekend after weekend? >> no, never. never. i don't think any country endured something like this. look, october 7th, 2023 was by far unequivocally the worst day in israel's history. it was a calamity and debacle of

today, israel's defense minister says his forces should prepare for "the voluntary departure of palestiniansza in line with president trump's proposal. arab communities and those who supported a future palestinian state should also step up," he suggests, including eu countries like spain and norway. with us tonight is the former assistant foreign minister of egypt and former egyptian ambassador to germany. very well. thank you for sparing us some time tonight. the day before donald trump announce this plane for gaza he announced a new one billion-dollar arms deal for egypt, security from america since the camp david accords has been very important. how much leverage does donald trump currently have over president lcc, and is it enough to force him to take a million palestinians? >> not at all. the relation with the united states is strategic nature. it is quite sequenced and normal. what is not normal is the declaration and the proposition from trump on the riviera of gaza, sending american troops into occupy, although he retreated from this declaration a couple hours ago. 48 hours after the

the iron will by the idea began nearly 2 weeks ago just after the mouse. israel's ceasefire was agreed. he's really defense forces, say in that time they've eliminated 50 post terrorist in the area of detained, at least a 100 more people. louise, really, army also claims that it's has destroyed 23 buildings as part of the operation saying that those sites, how is militants weapons on supplies? no, i palestinians in northern guys that are struggling to find any medical aid with the enclaves, infrastructure mostly and really. okay. only one main hospital out of 3 remains operational and an easy is medical emergency rescue committee. assess victims of war on his body to provide much needed help. the head of the group shared how the medical stuff, or a mazda of many color surfaces, and the best sense in the knots. we have a 3 main post people into not but to hospital is not functioning now the in the nation hospital and they come onto the hospital and one less must with i left the hospital of a loud uh there's supposed to be police now uh type of function as a general hospital, but basically it is the most need to th

not just after the from us israel's expire was agreed upon. these really defense forces say in the time they have eliminated 50 quote, terrace, detained at least a 100. what these really aren't? they also reported it destroyed $23.00 buildings as part of the operation, claiming those sites. how is militants, weapons, and supplies? well, i'll list the names in northern guns. i will assure you best to they're struggling to find any medical aid with the enclaves. infrastructure mostly in rooms on the wall. the main hospitalized of 3 remains. operational, indonesia is medical emergency rescue committee. mercy, assist victims of more on has value to provide much needed help. the head of the group shared how the medical software could also find that goal surfaces and the presence in the knots. we have a 3 main post people in the notes, but to hospital is not functioning now the in the nation hospital and the come on one hospital and one less must replace the a let's cuz i'll, i'll, i'll, i will get this. i'll spell is now a tribal function as a general hospital, but basically

because, remember, the jordanian air force came to israel's defense when iran attacked israel. so it's part of jordan, is part of israel's security umbrella. so all of this seems to be just this kind of rather extensive own goal. you know, going after our allies is not certainly the right policy. now, at the end of the day, if the jordanians can accept 2000 gazans, kids who come out, that's a that's a good thing. but the overall policy, the overall idea of ethnically cleansing gaza and not allowing palestinians to come back and having them all or hundreds of thousands go to jordan, that's a nonstarter for the jordanians, this will cause the overthrow of a key u.s. ally, and king abdullah can never accept that. >> marc polymeropoulos, aaron gilchrist, gentlemen, thank you. and coming up in 90s the d.o.j. power play how the justice department is justifying the move pushed by president trump to preemptively step in and get the mayor of new york city off the mayor of new york city off the hook for criminal charges. ♪ rinse it out ♪ ♪ every now and then ♪ ♪ i get a little bit tired

normally happened is they are put into a red cross vehicle and then driven into israel to be handed back to the israeli defense forces, who take them off to a hospital for the checkups that are so necessary after so long in captivity. we hope to see keith siegel very soon. in the meantime, kevin, it's been an honor being with you on what has been a very tough week for this country. two tragic air crashes over 48 hours, first in d.c. and now this awful one in philadelphia. it's been a tough week and tough events for us all to witness. kevin. >> yeah, very difficult, especially when you consider young people were involved in both crashes. very difficult. but yeoman's work out of you and channel and cb cotton as well. and for the entire crew behind the scenes and in front of the camera, i'm kevin corke in washington for my partner jonathan hunt in los angeles. we thank you for watching fox news g. >> ivanova. powers. america every day. as the leading american energy manufacturer, we've never stopped building the technologies that drive today's economy and define the future of energy. we know an abundant, independent and

israel. it turned the country inside out. the defense forcesarned him, your deterrence is going to be degraded and you had october 7th, the worst killing of jews since the holocaust. the bureaucracy of the justice department as well as the fbi, they can be running a campaign of internal vengeance or external vigilance, and it's one or the other. they can't do both, and we've seen this movie before, and it ended in october 7th. the chinese are hacking us and cyberattacking and the north koreans constantly. that is also true about terrorist actions. when i was chief of staff, a young man in the intelligence agencies found a word he said did not make sense on a communication. a lot of people said, oh, it's nothing. forget about it. we encouraged him to pursue it. we all did, and he pursued it and it ended up being the young man in denver that bought 12 backpacks, a lot of chemicals and he was driving east to new york. we arrested him eventually. you have the fbi agents who are confronting china, north korea, russia, our enemies, iran, who are cybe

defense minister ordering the army to draft a plan. palestinians fear that this could amount to forced explosion -- expulsion. >> different plans were given by the ministers. this is just a statement. israelop the war. anchor: are you concerned that this could impact and inflame regions in the country. >> i am very unhappy about these statements. they are inflaming the entire region. no one wants that. these statements about forcing palestinians out of gaza are not helping. anchor: do you think these statements are links to benjamin netanyahu's political survival? >> he has been doing that for some good reasons. he prioritizes his stability over the national interest. now it has been accomplished. hopefully it will be completed. whatever we do now is excepted. unfortunately there are many statements of many actions and many recommendations and many quotes made by the prime minister. anchor: the former prime minister of israel, thank you for being with us here on bbc news. >> thank you. anchor: while the eyes of the world are on gaza, there has been a dramatic escalation in violence in the west bank. it has put the occupied territory a state of emergency. israeli forces and jewish settlers

israel ensuring their defense and peacefully resolving the conflict in ukraine. those shouldn't define how we orient and hopefully with a rapid peace deal in ukraine which the president is committed to delivering. we can then review force posture and encourage, as you're going to see tomorrow in ukraine, at the ukraine contact route and the natoed a ministerial, we'll have straight talk with our friends and requires friends talking to friends about capabilities, about leadership, about stepping up, about burden sharing and the incentives to say the european continent deserves to be free from any aggression but it ought be those in the neighborhood investing the most in that collective -- individual and collective defense. that's common senses the as the president talks about, you defend your neighborhood and the americans will come alongside you in helping that defense. if and when that happens and i believe it will because of president trump, your most nato countries are already close to 2% and we believe it needs to be higher. the president said 5% and i think he's right. that's a reflection of a need to invest on the continent. if and when that happens through investments in defense industrial base as well, then yes

israel to gear up for major military operations in the west bank. the country's defense minister ahead went to the occupied territory with is really forces saying that they are not going to allow the west bank to be turned into gaza. but it's interesting because the same policies that the carried out in dogs are being carried out in the west bank. and i also want to add that since this rate has started there been a lot of civilians who been killed. we've been talking about a woman who was 8 months pregnant who was shot and killed while leaving her home. her husband also severely wounded, and her father really injured from this same attack. that is really forces are indiscriminately firing and people destroying the infrastructure there. so even though they say they're carrying out this operation against fighters civilians, the palestinians of the occupied west bank are really the ones that are feeling the results of this rate. all right, that's, i'll just here is have this in here with live for us from. i'm on jordan, how do i? thanks so much for breaking that all down for us. the, the these really military has completed its withdrawal from the so ca

israel, the middle east, and the entire world. christian: let's break that down with a senior fellow at the foundation for defense and democracies, former spokesperson for the israeli defense forcesor being on the program. what does benjamin netanyahu want from trump when it comes to phase two of the agreement? >> that's a very good question. it depends on which perspective we look at. there is the israeli political aspect to it and then the many fronts that israel is busy fighting various wars. i think the most important thing currently is to bring back hostages. i think that would be the top priority. and i think this is very difficult for people around the world to understand but israel is still effectively at war. we are in limbo, in this situation where it is neither really war but definitely not safe to go back to homes in the communities that were ravaged by hamas along the gaza border, or community is destroyed by hezbollah in the north. israelis are still in this in between situation. of course, waiting, anticipating, praying for hostages to come home. this in between situation, it makes it very complex. i think what prime minister netanyahu would want to achieve is a de

forcing inside of israel and the occupied surgeries. after him asked announce that it would be delaying the release of these really captives in definitely these really defense minister in the military said they were gearing up defensively. meaning that they were raising the preparedness to the highest possible level. they were cancelling leaves for soldiers and previously in the gaza division of that they were preparing for a wide variety of scenarios, not just in gaza, but throughout the region as a whole. in even preparing for return to full scale war. there were reports that there were drones flying over air space in gaza where they weren't previously since the ceasefire had taken place. but we also received a statement from these really prime minister's office that said that israel is committed to the deal and has relieved that message to the family members of his really captive who took to the streets on monday night to protest against benjamin netanyahu against his government calling on him to implement this deal in its entirety, not just phase one, but also phase 2 and 3. and it comes as israel has been accused of violating the ceasefire agreement, n

israel's defence minister. the statement he has put out says the israeli defense forces should try to make arrangements to allowans to leave gaza and that seems to be the way he is framing this. not in the way that much of the rest of the world has done it, as an attempt to force gazans to leave their home but giving them the option. he says in a statement that all palestinians, all people should have the freedom of exit and immigration, as is customary elsewhere in the world. another rather interesting part of this statement, and we should say this plan has no detail about how this will be achieved, whether it will involve the right to return. it is light on detail. he also says that countries like spain, ireland, norway and others which have made, as he put it, false accusations and plots against israel, are legally obligated to allow every gazan resident to allow every gazan resident to enter their territory. that is how it is being framed certainly by the defence minister and it tallies with what we have heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who has described the plan as bold and something worth con
