you have the israeli defense minister talking about moving palestinians out. xpressing concern that this is forced expulsion. trump has stood on the podium with the israeli prime minister. this feels like a plan. how is it not? >> he has certainly stated there is no plan. nobody and build a plan on how any of this would be implement it. certainly he is a president who is known for making provocative and disruptive statements to try to get things to happen. when you played earlier this broadcast was his desire that there be peace in the region. certainly that this area be healed and there be reconstruction. you showed pictures that are heartbreaking and heart wrenching. of the destruction that has occurred. as a result of trying to rid the palestinians of the grip they have been under. they have been prisoners to hamas. anchor: can i ask you how you think this could lead to peace? this could destabilize the second round of cease fire talks and inflame tensions in the region. you said it was a provocative statement from the president. >> unilaterally the presiden

the statement he has put out says the israeli defense forces gaza, and that seems to be the way he'sming 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 homes 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 — false accusations and plots against israel, are legally to enter their territory. described the plan as bold and something worth considering. but reaction, you will be aware, around the rest of the world, very different. antonio guterres, warning the united states against from marco rubio and also the president's spokeswoman. i think more than wondering whether it will happen — i think they are saying... or said it would be, were it implemented. here in the middle east. line for many, many countries, including some of america's allies, as well. we have heard statements — maybe less severe — but statements from american allies are saying they still support the two—stat

the israelis say donald trump already formulating a plan. today, israel's defenser says his forces should prepare for "the voluntary departure of palestinians from gaza 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 occup

earlier this week, it's important to note that the israeli defense minister, the former israeli defense minister, yoav gallant, noted that the agreement that is bringing these hostages home now is identical to the one that hamas agreed to in july. and his point being that all that has happened since then are wasted months during which many of these hostages have faced dire conditions. but in addition to that sense of urgency, we did see the emotional reunions between these three newly freed hostages and their families. many of them meeting initially at the military base in southern israel, and then others also meeting with them at hospitals in central israel. in addition to that, we've seen as 183 palestinian prisoners have been released from israeli prisons in exchange for those three hostages. they include 18 who were serving life sentences. several of those will be deported to third party countries. 111 of them were detained in gaza over the course of this war. since october 7th. we know, of course, that some of those who have been detained in gaza were rounded up as part of israeli

with a senior fellow at the foundation for defense and democracies, former spokesperson for the israeli defensehanks for 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

but by the grace of god was rescued by the israeli defense forces and now she's come back to pray withs this morning and such an honor to have you and you're really an inspiration to all of us. thank you very much. the innocent civilians attacked on october 7 were targeted for one reason, because they were jews, they were murdered and kidnapped because of their faith and these events remind us of how blessed we are to live in a nation that's thrived for more than 2 1/2 centuries as a haven of religion freedom. i will tell you the last four years have been very difficult. it would have been a very difficult thing for me to have made that statement if a speech was taking place two years ago. my administration is committed to defending this proud heritage and will always protect religious liberty. and that is why today i'm honoring a lot of people but announcing i will be creating a brand-new presidential commission on religious liberty. it will be a very big deal which will work tirelessly to uphold this most fundamental right. unfortunately in recent years we've seen the sacred liberty

i want to bring you images that have been released by the israeli defense forces, of eli sharabi, whoere describing, but he is free, he's been returned, with he's been returned, he's with his mother and sister. much on this here on bbc news. more on this here on bbc news. but now let's cross over to the centre and et all sports centre and get all the sports centre and get all the sports news. orient, in the fa cup to progress to the 5th round. pep guardiola's side were behind at half time. but pulled it out of the bag, as the game wore on, in east london. orient took the lead, thanks to a superb long range the big names struggled, but eventually clawed themselves back into it — rico lewis's shot deflected and they clung on for victory. plenty more to come though throughout the rest of the day, six games kick off at three o'clock. there's an eye—catching all premier league clash league one birmingham city host newcastle united. on to rugby union now and it's the second weekend games without a win, taking on italy in rome. that one has just got under way. as they welcome france to twick

office and asa farayem with the israeli defense forces now a fellow with the washington institute fore east policies. welcome to the news hour let me start with you. what is going on with amra as we said earlier there is an official ban that has gone in effect but you're still operating. what's the status? >> all amra facilities remained open. save our field headquarters in jerusalem. in fact, we had 400 medical consultations in east jerusalem alone. school is going to reopen again on sunday. in gaza, we are -- our international staff remain. and we continue to stay and deliver. we are a major part of the humanitarian assistance effort particularly since the cease-fire. >> what should we make of that in your opinion that there is an official ban on this organization yet, it continues to operate? >> i think it is important to understand the israeli view of amra. and to put it shortly, it's a poisoned apple. the apple part is the -- the services that we heard, education, food, and health which are a necessity and everybody recognizes the need to do so. the poison part is connected to ne

the first visit and also comes at a time when the israeli defense forces have really changed things intrump some room to run to negotiate to try to get a bigger deal. >> yeah. there are big issues on the agenda for prime minister netanyahu's visit to washington this week. you are right to point out not only netanyahu's first visit but the first visit of a foreign leader. a very important statement. even before october 7th, 2023, the biden administration has september prime minister netanyahu at arm's length and not only is the trump administration bringing netanyahu in making a statement first foreign leader to come but so much -- it's not to say the u.s. and israeli government can never have disagreements. they have throughout history. the question is whether those disagreements get aired out in public. when they get aired out in public it creates an opening for israel's enemies to widen that gap. i have this i the -- i think the trump administration is doing a good job. making it clear they won't put political conditions on arms munitions transferred. three big issues for the meeting

and we are already starting to see the wheels going into motion to explore that idea with the israeli defense minister. israel katz now ordering the israeli military to begin coming up with a plan to allow for the voluntary migration of palestinians outside of the gaza strip. this is the first time that we have seen the israeli military ordered to come up with such a plan. after more than 15 months of war, so ultimately, it's not clear that this plan by the president to take over gaza is going to be feasible in any way or become a reality, but it certainly has kind of changed and opened, enlarged, perhaps the overton window here in terms of what the israeli government might actually be able to do on its own, perhaps with u.s. support. brianna. >> all right, jeremy, thank you. and now to our cnn chief congressional correspondent, manu raju on the hill. what are you hearing from lawmakers? >> well, republicans themselves are uncertain what to make of this. some of them were surprised, and many of them are surprised when they first heard this. others rejected out of hand, said this is completely

>> well, right now the idf, the israeli defense forces, have had to go in and will continue to destroy hamas if they do not honor the terms of this ceasefire. so that's point one. point two, president trump looks at this in very practical terms in the sense of are we going to repeat the definition of insanity here and pour billions in, rebuild and just have another october 7th again and another war years from now? let's look at the reality of having 1.8 million people sitting in piles of rubble with no sewage, with unexploded ordinance, and he's asking in a humane way, what is going to happen to these people and everyone around the region says their heartbreaks for the palestinians, rightly so, but then come to the table with your plan if you don't like his plan and interestingly, we are seeing all kinds of outreach since the president made that statement of saying let's help you take this on anand so there's conversatio that are ongoing right now. >> okay. so having conversations with rld other world leaders of post-construction once the war over. >> but the key piece is you n't get t

at least 2 of the wounded are in a critical condition, becomes is, the israeli military continues and defensive in the occupied westbank, which is killed in these 4 full pallets and use in 2 weeks. let's head straight away to jordan's capital of amman, lord kind of standing by and she's that because he's rarely governments in policy and you know, for us to have found out 0 for report, insight as well as inside the occupied west bank. so 1st floor, what more do we know about the shoot to get a check point in the west bank? well, i can tell you what we understand from the it's ready media. and also it's rolled on the radio. from preliminary reports, we note that a gunman entered a ministry complex just just next to test the the said check point was the heavily fortified area with many soldiers inside. he seems to enter in a cow flush at sleep, but also wearing a, a, a bullet proof vest. now there was a shootout at the very close range between this pass and, and it's ready forces. we know that one palestinian mount has been killed out towards the end of this and then an additional force came in th

so palestinians will get more radical israeli settlers and defense forces will get more combative.this is not a good dynamic. >> so it encourages the radicals on both sides. >> absolutely, absolutely. >> and and what do you think trump was thinking when i mean, you've talked to him. what's going on? >> my own sense is he comes from a world of deals. and you can always sprinkle in new incentives. or if this doesn't work, what about this? what about that? what? i think he's missing from the world of real estate is this is not something that can be easily bought off. what are the two most powerful things? you and i have spent a lot of time talking about? the middle east. one is nationalism. virtually everyone in the middle east coming out of world war two wanted a state of their own. zionism was getting a state of their own. for the jews, palestinians and the kurds have been denied it. this this denies it and kills off the chance. second of all, it reinforces humiliation. and what did we learn around nine over 11? and other times, humiliation is a dangerously powerful human motivator.

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu heads to the pentagon. these are live pictures that you see here. he will soon be meeting with the new defense secretary, pete, this is netanyahu's third day in washington. and his visit comes as the world really gasps in disbelief after president trump proposed taking over gaza, relocating 2 million palestinians. so the u.s. can develop the area into the, quote, riviera of the middle east. >> the u.s. will take over the gaza strip, and we will do a job with it, too. we'll own it. i envision a world, people living there, the world's people. i think you'll make that into an international. unbelievable place. >> this is an out of the box idea. that's who president trump is. that's why the american people elected him. >> trump's plan would upend decades of u.s. policy in the middle east and further complicate israel's delicate ceasefire deal with hamas, and has some people wondering, quite frankly, if it's just all a big distraction. cnn's oren liebermann is live for us now at the pentagon. so, oren, we're waiting for netanyahu to arrive. we just saw live pictures of that. what are you hearing ab

defenses. the collapse of the syrian regime, the transformation of the middle east in these past months by the israeli military, israeli intelligence targeted assassinations for all. the criticism has weakened hamas, for despite the show of force that you've seen in these hostage releases, where the fighters are coming out of the woodwork, coming out of the tunnels, hamas is regrouping. that's another big fear. but so far the deal has held, and 183 palestinians released. now, as we're told here, i'm told by my colleagues, by your colleagues over there that that part of the deal has held as well today. >> and we. >> know that the. >> next several phases of the deal. >> still incredibly fragile. >> and that comes. >> as. you have. >> prime minister. >> netanyahu set to meet. >> with president. >> trump at the white house on tuesday. what do you expect. >> to be the fundamental. >> dynamics of that meeting? >> well, president trump kind of threw. a political grenade, if you will, last week. just a week ago, he was on his way back from nevada and on the plane, he suggested that gazans, three quarters of t

israelis who want to see gaza resettled. but it still remains unclear whether the defense minister's comments will actually become policy on the katz said. countries like spain, ireland and norway, which were very critical of the conduct of israel's war in the gaza strip, that they should take in palestinians. he even said that they had a legal obligation to do so. so katz wasn't alone in the israeli government praising trump. other right wing ministers on prime minister benjamin netanyahu's very right wing cabinet. they've come out and strenuously blessed the idea of evicting palestinians from gaza. but how much of a role the us would play in such a plan? and most of the plan itself, of course, all of that remains totally unclear. chris. >> so, joel, donald trump claims the us can take over gaza, resettle palestinians, in his words, in beautiful communities with new and modern homes in the region, and rebuild the enclave into one of the most, greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on earth. all of it, by the way, without using us troops. and apparently benjamin netanyahu agrees. listen. >> mr. netanyahu, do yo

israeli extremists are cheering this idea. they have long believed the path forward is not a peace deal with the palestinians but pushing them off of their lands. israel's defense minister says he has also given the military instructions to begin preparations for palestinians in his words voluntarily leaving gaza. as he said, frances, the white house press secretary somewhat softening trump's remarks and talking down the idea that american forces would be deployed to gaza. >> we'll see how much softening and talking down they continue to do. >>> donald trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship is back in court, this time in a seattle federal court. it will be before the same judge who last month temporarily blocked the order, calling it blatantly unconstitutional. today's hearing will consider a longer pause. it comes after a judge in maryland blocked the trump administration from implementing the executive order, instead siding with two immigrant rights groups and five pregnant women who challenge it. >>> the white house has agreed to temporarily block musk's department of government efficiency from accessing treasury payment systems. musk's team h

israeli prime minister is visiting washington. last year, the icc issued arrest warrants for the prime minister and his former defense minister for alleged war crimes in gaza, which they deny. neither the u.s. nor israel recognize the court's authority. separately, it emerged netanyahu gave president trump a golden pager mounted on a wooden stand during their meeting in washington yesterday. it is a not-so-subtle not to israel's operation in lebanon last year with pagers and handheld radios used two attack members of hezbollah. in panama, the president is pushing back on u.s. claims over transit fees for the panama canal. the state department posted on social media a deal was reached that would allow u.s. government vessels to pass through free of charge, saving the federal government millions of dollars a year. it followed marco rubio's visit to the critical trade route earlier this week. this morning, panama's president rejected the claim, calling it flat out false. >> i'm very surprised by the statement from the u.s. state department. that is simply intolerable. panama to you and the world expresses my absolute rejection of co

israeli troops? i mean, it's all sort of fuzzy and not very well thought through. obviously, there's been no defenseartment analysis, no state department analysis. this is just him talking. and we have very few details to actually judge it by. and that's why i think people are having a hard time taking it seriously because it seems so fanciful, so farcical even. and i think that it may be some people think just his way of getting the conversation going, trying to provoke people because he's not wrong that gaza is a demolition site. he's not wrong. that is a horrific place for 2 million people to live right now. but even so, many of those 2 million people don't want to be forced out of their home. >> yasmin vossoughian and peter baker, thank you both so much. >> next hour. >> my colleague andrea mitchell. >> will speak live with aviva siegel, whom you just heard a little while ago. she's the wife of. >> keith siegel. >> an american held hostage just released by hamas after almost 500 days. up next, an nbc news exclusive. >> new. >> details about the. >> plan to detain thousands. >> of criminal migran

. >> this hour, israeli prime minister, as you saw there, benjamin netanyahu, he is still in washington, set to meet later today with defense secretary pete hegseth. israel's fragile ceasefire deal with hamas is still in the balance after trump also suggested the war torn enclave become the riviera of the middle east. this hour, global shockwaves and stinging rebukes democratic congresswoman rashida tlaib of michigan, saying this president is openly calling for ethnic cleansing while sitting next to a genocidal war criminal. and from republicans, a mixed bag. house speaker mike johnson, hailing trump's bold action, while senator john cornyn of texas has only said, i don't really know what to make of that. we're standing by for more reaction from lawmakers on the hill. let's get right to the white house, though. first with cnn's alayna treene. who is there? you have the very latest on this, but this has caused huge shockwaves across the world. >> it has. and i. >> think the key question was how long, you know, did did donald trump take donald trump to get to this point? the president how many people knew that he was going to

the one thing i will say in defense of all of this is as a just a giant middle finger to the the sort of cliched, conventional wisdom about how the israeli-palestinian conflict works and, and the process of terrorist attacks on israel. israel responds, everyone condemns israel for responding. and then we need a peace process and aid to flow in to to build back up gaza all over again. and then the cycle repeats and the whole one state, the whole two state solution process. what this does is just says, yeah, we're not thinking along those terms anymore. and that's not a bad thing. by my, by my way of looking at this stuff. the october 7th attack deserves terrible consequences for hamas. and this is part of that package of terrible consequences, even though it is an insanely stupid idea. >> well, to add to that point, i mean, the bigger story here is the fact that donald trump is is basically declaring unequivocal solidarity with israel, has essentially abandoned talking about any sort of two state solution for gaza. and you saw even netanyahu yesterday, you know, throw a little bit of an elbow to joe biden and basically say, now there's no

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 bibas, was taken with his wife that everybody knows her face. she's the ginger colored haired woman, together with a small little two babies. he's coming

defense with the president, with the national security adviser with the secretary of state and allies and partners that's a long conversation. ultimately what i know is sitting with prime minister netanyahu and the israelisey want to finish the job against hamas. they want to finish the job against hamas. they want to eradicate those responsible for what happened on october 7th. they want to clear that out. they want to get the hesitate tages back. as their allies we want to support them in doing so. you bring peace by eradicating terrorists who seek the destruction of israel. >> laura: i will say. >> that's how you bring peace. i support that what happens after that is a longer conversation. and hopefully in every case the president would acknowledge. this you don't want to have to use american boots at all if you don't have. that's my press conference having been there, of course. that's your press conference. preference.you don't pull away n the president is looking to work outside the box. >> laura: mr. secretary phenomenal news on the army recruitment numbers the president brought it up today. during the eo signing in the white house. it's ten nominal. it doesn't surprise me one bit. now we are lear

israel's defense minister readies its military for the, quote, voluntary departure, end quote, of palestinians from gaza, want this clear? president trump and his plan have the full support of his israeli counterpart, prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> this is the first good idea. >> that i've heard. >> it's a remarkable idea, and i think it should be really pursued, examined, pursued and done because i think it will create a different future. >> for everyone. >> he's the greatest friend that israel has ever had in the white house. >> all right. joining us now, former chief of staff to benjamin netanyahu, george birnbaum. sir. good morning. thank you very much for spending some time with us today. >> good morning. casey. >> uh, i'd like to start with the meeting itself and especially the look on the prime minister's face there, as well as some reporting that he was as surprised by this as almost anyone. uh, the new york times wrote this quote. it wasn't only the americans who were scrambling after the press conference. the announcement came just as much of a surprise to mr. trump's israeli visitors. soon before they walked out for their joint news conference on tuesday, mr. trump su
