that i have the social media pages and also some of the news websites for, you know, jerusalem post and times of israel and other sites. you can see that there's open frustration on the part of many is rarely using and almost a kind of a, an embarrassment if you will. and i'll recall what i'll do tomorrow. ben dear. the former security minister said a couple of weeks ago. he said this ceasefire represents a defeat for his route. he said it shows that a kind of surrender to do him off. and that's the way many is rarely feel, and i'm in the events that is real issues, current government or a potential future government is unable to retain control of the messaging. do you think that a more, broadly speaking, we might see a change in the way that foreign governments start to view their relationships with israel? i think maybe the biggest cost that israel has paid in in the score is in terms of its public image. if you look at the opinion polling data from even places in western europe and united states, we're not talking just about the global south or just about you know, era, but most, some countries here

hugging, grieving, being reunited measure always of president trump in tel aviv and jerusalem right now because israel people are so overjoyed final getting at least some hostages back we will continue to do everything possible, to get all of them back, under the ceasefire that again biden administration couldn't get done, for all over a year president trump says there is going to be all hell to pay if it is not done. now that is done, too >> we're supposed to see phase two of negotiates happening this week but you are right president trump was asked yesterday by peter doocy should get credit for latest ceasefire deal here is what president said. >> president trump, prime minister netanyahu we've heard joe biden and donald trump take credit for hostage and ceasefire deals who do you think deserves more credit? >> i think president trump had a great force, leadership to this effort i appreciate it. he sent -- helped it along, and, you know, i am telling you i am happy they are here i am sure the president is happy that they are here. >>of course that was witkoff what does phase two look like would you

other international broadcasters, is not allowed by israel to report from inside gaza. 0ur correspondent, wyre davies, sent this report from jerusalem. carrying whatever they can, however they can, thousands of people made homeless by the war in gaza, heading home or at least to where their homes once stood. israel's withdrawal along a strategic road, the netzarim corridor, that divides gaza in two, is a vital part of the ceasefire agreement. once they get there, it's a case of picking through what's left of their lives after one of the biggest bombing campaigns in military history. more than 60% of buildings particularly in the north have been destroyed or badly damaged. translation: we are steadfast and we have been patient under| the rockets and strikes. they've deprived us of food and water, but they have not deprived us of foos and air. gaza is the centre of life for us, says this man, determined to rebuild his life in the ruins of the north. but the ceasefire that allows this is fragile. yesterday's images of weak and gaunt hostages angered the israeli government, but polls suggest an overwhelming majority of israelis still su

jerusalem. as we look at these live pictures of benjamin netanyahu and pete hegseth, i think a lot of people in israeler parts of the world are clearly trying to work out exactly what president trump's words about gaza mean. >> i think most people close to this treated the trump plan as a plan with disbelief. even though everyone in the region on both sides want some sort of progress, absolution after the war ends. the only people who have taken trump's word with glee and satisfaction are on the far right of israeli politics. one politician who was the national security minister and left the government of regiment netanyahu in protest of the current cease-fire deal. he said it is a beautiful relationship, mr. trump. he wants the israeli government to adopt trump's plans as official israeli government policy. officials don't see how it is going to work for practical, legal, and other reasons. certainly in the arab world, palestinian leaders, countries like jordan and egypt, have said absolutely no way at all. it is a redline in the sand. they don't agree at all with the forced or encouraged migration o

israel's creation as a state. many still see gaza itself as a temporary shelter, determined that they will one day have the right to go home. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusaleme with lou attorney general, former us are critical need for the israel and palestinian authority. he worked in the previous trumpet attrition and get his thoughts on the comments. disruptive thought is one way to describe it. weapons that caused this widespread destruction in gaza? i think that there is no doubt that a lot of international this horrific conflict as a consequence of the horrible atrocities that hamas committed. to the world, clearly the world listens and i was alarmed like i think many were when they heard the statements strip. it just slaps in the face of everything the us working and the international community. china filed a complaint to the world trade organization and false allegations. our china correspondent in beijing. has more on this. subsequent governments in the us blocksjudges enforce the rules. at the wto, even whether or not it can be enforced we are and xijinping said to have been pencilled in for this week talks with xijinping. also remind us the state

following their release as part of the cease fire exchange in the israel-hamas war. cnn's jerusalem correspondent jeremy diamond joins us from tel aviv, israel, with the latest. and jeremy, of course, there was the the excitement and the relief to have them home. but i'm sure, you know, that was tainted a bit by the condition that these men appear to be in. >> without a doubt, this was an emotional roller coaster today at hostages square, as hundreds of israelis gathered here to watch as these three israeli hostages were released after 491 days of captivity. initially, yes, there was that sigh of relief to see them alive. there were cheers. there were applause as this crowd saw these men emerge as they have watched over the course of the last several weeks. every saturday, as men and women have been released from hamas captivity. but today, as they got a closer look at the condition of these men, there was a different, more pained look on the faces of many here. and that's because of how emaciated some of these men did indeed look. all three of them appearing quite thin and frail as

the three men were freed as part of the cease fire agreement in the israel-hamas war. >> cnn jerusalem correspondent jeremy diamond joins us now from hostage square in tel aviv, israel, and shocking images of these these men, after 16 months now in captivity. >> yeah. >> that's. >> exactly right. and we were here in hostages square as hundreds of people were watching on the large television screen above the stage as these men emerged from captivity. and initially what we heard was exactly what we've heard over the last several weeks, every single saturday, which was cheers, applause, a very moving scenes. but then you saw as it started to hit people what these three men actually looked like as they emerged from captivity. and then you saw far more pained looks on people's faces. and that is because of the condition in which these men have emerged after 491 days of captivity. all of them looking quite thin and frail. i think the most shocking to many people here has been to see eli sharabi the difference in what he looked like pre october 7th, before he was kidnaped from his home in kib

the group says israel is expected to release 100 wyre davies has more from jerusalem. ase one the released under phase one of the ceasefire between ceasefire agreement between israel and asked, so by end israel and asked, so by the end of the week and a total of 21 hostages have been in hostages have been released in exchange for than 500 exchange for more than 500 palestinian prisoners from 'ails, much more b israeli jails, much more aid is getting into gaza of course. there has been a partial reopening of the border between egypt and gaza through the rafah crossing so there is tangible benefits from this ongoing ceasefire deal even though it has been coming under a lot of pressure particularly for those who the war 77— 7 hamas to restart. the against hamas to restart. the next three hostages to be released are men, and they are men, to make from a all men, to make from a kibbutz, one abducted from the music festival where more than 300 people were killed on october 7. is of course october 7. this is of course good news for theirfamilies, good news for their families,

and sometimes it's spiritual israel and all that. well, jerusalem is something that god took very serious. and when we honor jerusalem, we bless jerusalem. there's something about the physical territory, when this nation blesses this one, and when the people in this nation are blessing this one, i believe that god begins to bless this land, and holds out for it. so here's what i've seen in the coming year. i saw this picture here. so i draw these things because i see the years in quadrants when i'm praying. and this coming year, let's say that this is january. let's say this is july. i was praying about this. and we've got to get into this time where we can get through the first of the year, without, honestly, someone letting the nuke off the leash. i believe if we pray, and the church keeps showing up, we will deflect that, we will stop that. we go into january. i keep seeing quarter one and quarter two, being these time frames that the lord is saying if you'll rise and shine, there's going to be intervention again and again. i see this word about

ongoing ceasefire talks — our correspondentjoe inwood sent this update from jerusalem so there's been significant anger in israelee hostage handovers, partly about the way they were done. once again, we saw what looked like a very stage managed event. rows of hamas fighters and the men paraded on stage given certificates, and this time made to give interviews. but i think the greater element of anger comes from the way they look. with previous hostage exchanges, it was said that people looked superficially, reasonably well. the three men released today did not. they were incredibly gaunt. their families say they barely recognise them. and it's been confirmed by the hospital they've now been treated at that they are malnourished. and this was something that has caused real anger and upset as well. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said it was shocking and said there would be consequences. the international committee of the red cross, who facilitate the handover, they didn't comment on that, but they did say that in future they want the handover to be more dignified and in private. but i think it's important to po

mr netanyahu's office says israel is preparing who is in jerusalem. and everything seems i come back to - seems to come back to donald trump the end, it? trump in the end, doesn't it? parts of the some parts of the israeli media have today a meeting have today portrayed a meeting between donald trump and as the most meeting as the most meeting between "nost meeting between an st and an israeli leader american and an israeli leader for and might be for decades and that might be egging but is no 7 is no dou77b7t 7 7 7 is no dou77b7t that 7 7 is no dou77b7t that th7e future of the ceasefire does hang in the balance. in hang inathe balance. in a of weeks' time, will couple of weeks�* time. we will to couple of weeks�* time, we will to the end of the first of their ceasefire stage of their ceasefire process and it something process and it is something that has produced tangible 18 hostages 7have been benefitsgis hostagesahave been from gaza benefitsgiss hostagesahave been from gaza in exchange released from gaza in exchange for more than 500 fgrggjggrethan

so the a bomb by israel on, on right, and east jerusalem and occupied east jerusalem has been ongoing for a week now. has that been an impact? so fall that's been no simple on the ground. and garza in the now the, the other was a continuous work with limited capacities. but the international got to get in back the gauze does. that's true. and the data entry, you know, something lice wouldn't be restricted. to now be continued the distribution of the a deputy seemed to do it in the last few weeks since the beginning of the seems flat. and we hope that bill, but daniel was for the ball figure problem because she feels a little affiliated splunk, the directions. i think there will be a lot of close friends on that one because right is fine. and in the same time, the, the financial support would you be needed for better staff and do things then now we don't feel that the any on the really brought is that the owner will basically bought. there is a huge needs to continue to support the other. what are the june? it's work and we're having a day it's infrastructure and then for the cabs and

all of this, i want to go now to yaakov katz, a senior columnist at the jerusalem post and the author of many books about israel'sitary. and he's speaking to us from jerusalem. thank you so much for being here with us. so you've been watching along here this emotional release. what stood out to you about this latest hostage release? three men, two in their 50s, one in their 30s. certainly. it seemed orderly, but the condition of the hostages was concerning. >> you know, kim, i always try to stay. >> away from making. >> any comparison to the holocaust. but when watching the images of elie, ohad and or the three men who were released today, come on stage, see how emaciated they are, how much weight they have lost, and look at the photos of them today, compared to the way they looked when they were taken. dragged two of them from their homes in kibbutz beit ri, or from the nova music festival, where he went with his wife. his wife was murdered by hamas, and to see the way they look today, it can only unimaginable the horror they must have all gone through over the last 500 days, almost in hamas captivity. this is t

israel. this year in jerusalem i know you are busy, but find space to do that. >> i can't wait. >> you will bepet. >> thank you so much. [shouted questions] >> sandra: fresh off their meeting reaffirming their commitment to each other, commitment to israel and israel's commitment to the united states as he continues his meetings on the hill this week. >> dana: that's right. netanyahu has had an incredible week. think about the last year and a half that he has had from october 7th and all that he did to try to push back the terrorists. it has been an amazing week because he met with the president, he has a new ally. the biden administration took them 1500 days to meet with him. it took trump 15 days to meet with him. a difference there. we'll see what happens. he will go back to israel i believe tomorrow but he has had an incredible week. a small plane carrying ten people missing over alaska on its way to the city of nome. we have the story. >> the last update we received on the missing plane came at 12:30 this morning from the nome volunteer fire department. the news is not good. right now the

and i want to say, uh, you're invited to israel this year in jerusalem.you're busy, but find space to do that. >> i can't wait. >> you'll be welcome in a red carpet. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, thank you. >> what is the role of? isa soares in the united states? what is the role? of, mr. speaker? will congress by the u.s. construction of. >> mr. johnson? they didn't take any questions from reporters there. i want to go to kevin liptak from the white house. obviously, this follows the meeting with president trump. when trump announced that that shocking proposal about the u.s. taking over gaza. kevin. >> yeah. and you didn't hear mention of that proposal in that appearance with netanyahu and the house speaker, mike johnson. and i'll just note, johnson was supposed to meet with netanyahu yesterday. that was delayed because of that marathon, four hour meeting here at the white house. but it is interesting that they didn't mention that, because that, of course, was sort of the major takeaway of netanyahu's entire week long visit here in washington. he

. >> it's that simple, the greatest friend israel has ever had in the white house. he recognized jerusalem as our capital, recognized our sovereignty, got us out of the disaster of the iran deal, brokered and work together on this, historic abraham accord that brought peace to israel and for arab states, do you want more? that's a lot." look what he is done in the past few days. he has done remarkable things, he has released the ammunition that we need to continue our march to victory, he has taken action against other u.n. agencies that hate america and the heat israel, he has done enormous things and yes, he is the greatest friend that israel has ever had in the white house. >> sean: you said you believe that peace between israel and saudi arabia is not only feasible you think is going to happen and president trump of juxtapose that with what he said about gaza and how gaza has been basically turned into rebel and he talked about that america would go in, dismantle the danger of the unexploded bombs, level the site, read the site of destroyed buildings and create an economic development

jerusalem. it's complete fantasy it's this complete sense about the jewish about the lack of entitlement to the jewish people, to the land of israel. if really study the koran, there's nothing holy about jerusalem al-aqsa someplace in saudi arabia and the and the rights of the jewish people the land of israel is in the koran but they don't care. you know. they got their narrative. they got their story. this my story, i'm sticking with it. and they push it and they push narratives and they get people to buy into it. and and take it seriously. we don't take we just don't react, you know? you know, you you know, one -- walks past al-aqsa and says, you're my israel and you know, there's this writing everywhere. you know, arabs, you know, defile our holy places. and we say what do you want there? you know, they're they're filled the high as what can we do it we got to get better at this i mean we just have to we just have to have stronger spines and mostly we to know who we are. and you know what people say, how do you anti-semitism? well, the first thing we need to do is know what we're fighting like. if if it doesn't if it's not wort

i think that that is clearly israel's interest. 80% of israelis recently polled by the jerusalem post, you know, pretty much centrist in the context of israel politics outlet, said that they'd like all palestinians to go. that's what they support. they want them all out of gaza. so this isn't just the right wing of israel. this is this is what they want. and i think that that plus trump would very much like to see some busloads or some planeloads or some boatloads of palestinians. >> where would. >> they go? gaza. because then then you've already changed the policy. it's just a question of how many and how quickly. kind of just like trump was so keen to show that we could get some illegal immigrants to guantanamo or send a military plane to colombia or india, even if the numbers are small. just that symbolism really changes the policy conversation. >> where would they go? jordan and egypt have said that they don't want to take anybody. where would they go? >> well. >> that's right, they have said that as of now, trump has not gone to saudi arabia yet. he has not, you know, sort of had

from the netzarim around 700,000 people fled south before israel's ground the bbc, along with other international broadcasters, report from jerusalem. the netzarim corridor, that divides gaza in once they get there, it's a case of picking of the biggest bombing campaigns in military history. the rockets and strikes. they've deprived us of food and water, but they have not determined to rebuild his life in the ruins of the north. but the ceasefire that allows this is fragile. a continuation of the truce. jails under the deal. progress will count for little. the israeli military have shot dead two palestinian women, one of whom was pregnant, in the occupied west bank, israeli troops said their forces were scanning the incident. israel has increased its military operations and the town of tulkarm. israeli military campaign. details are still sketchy but important to emphasise despite all the on that despite all the focus on gaza and the ceasefire in gaza, gaza and the ceasefire in gaza. has stepped up israel has stepped up quite its military significantly its military operations against z== 77 in the occupied z:-=: bank, more 77 bank,

there are murals in tel aviv and jerusalem of president trump and these images, especially within israel, of these hostages coming out alive, hugging their families, being reunited. the outpouring -- president trump and his leadership, has really been overwhelming. president netanyahu, his key team are carrying that message. at the same time, we have to be very realistic about the thr threats. iran has been and and continued to be the head of the snake from hezbollah to hamas -- to the militias that attacked our soldiers and onward. we have to craft a path, that we are strategically aligned in how to do that. it is, on the one hand, positive, and thankful to president trump and his leadership, but also continuing to look to him and to this relationship for the strength he brings, and that our adversaries need it, and better to continue to respect and even fear. >> michael, what you said just there, hamas cannot be allowed to continue to exist. he comes back to the question i asked at the beginning when we started this off, israel is saying that hamas cannot continue to exist. we are sayi
