tray, there seems to be a suggestion by john kirby here that future u.s. ed on how israel comports itself are the days and weeks ahead. >> yes, john, good afternoon. interesting comments by kirby here because the americans often say something publicly when it comes to politics but behind the scenes they continue to support the israelis militarily and we see that with the transfer of weapons. at this point israeli officials do not believe that support is going to stop. this call between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu lasted about 45 minutes we are told and it does come at a critical time for israel. as the israelis prepare for the possibility of an iranian response to that response earlier this week in damascus,syria, that killed several members. they called up additional soldiers to man defense systems and the israeli military cantilever off combat sources. the funerals for these members that died in damascus are expected to be held tomorrow in iran. they believed were telling tory strikes could happen after that. local media

national security council spokesman john kirby joins us live. "gma" with full analysis of the unfolding situation from israel to the white house to wall street amid fears of a widening war. >> whit: and good morning, america. so great to have you with us on a very busy morning here. the world is awaiting israel's next move following iran's unprecedented attacks on the country with hundreds of missiles and drones. it comes after iranian military officers were killed on the consulate in syria. >> janai: president biden back to the white house early from his retreat in delaware, the administration again pledging unwavering support for israel using that word -- ironclad. g7 leaders holding a video conference this afternoon. we'll speak with the president's national security spokesman. >> gio: and the idf saying it shot down 99% of the drones and missiles. the u.s. also saying it helped with dozens of interceptions. this is iran's first ever direct military attack on israel. it's a major escalation and we've got team coverage. we begin here with abc'

this is escalating. >> well, john kirby wasn't necessarily saying done.was saying let's not escalate this further. but let me ask you about what your republican colleagues are saying because i would like to get specific about what you would like to see, congressman. some of your republican colleagues say this calls for the united states to respond directly by striking iran. would you support that? should the united states go on offense and strike iran and engage directly with iran? >> i think what the united states needs to do is to understand that iran has already taken the next step -- excuse me -- of understanding that they get a free pass for attacking israel directly from iranian soil from the united states. >> so is that a yes? is that a yes, congressman? you're saying -- >> i believe that they will do it again, and i think the united states needs to make clear -- which this administration has not -- that if they continue to attack israel that, yes, they will get a response from iran. iran is in a vulnerable position. first off, it should never be a

not alone, but with the help of her allies and partners, of the united states in particular, and john kirby, the white house communications adviser, said that indeed the united states had helped to neutralize at least a few dozen drones, and the white house says this once again proves how ironclad the united states' support for israel's defense is, and that they will be ready and ... to continue to maintain this defense, we now know that the israeli war cabinet will be thinking about how and when israel can respond to this iranian attack. in the united states they say that the united the states do not want a war with iran, they do not want any escalation. and so it appears that the united states is at least publicly hinting, and perhaps privately and directly telling israel, that it wants israel to exercise restraint. in this situation, he actually took the success that israel managed to achieve as a victory. we know that the uk is talking about this publicly, and rishi sunak, the prime minister of great britain, who... will not be talking to the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu

let's start with fresh reaction from john kirby from the white house. in terms of whatever next step they want to pursue. that is a sovereign decision of course that our israeli counterparts have to make. i don't think you can come away not convinced that the president didn't mean every word he said ironclad commitment. >> do you agree, rebecca? >> he also said the united states had an ironclad commitment to nato. how president biden asked if israel decides to retaliate, it has significant geopolitical implications to other regions of the world let's see what he means by ironclad. the other thing that's important to remember is on the point of missile defense. it is true that israel's layered missile defense system performed beautifully with the help of jordan, the help of the united states and even the brits. that does not mean that they are required to now say we are dead. to play the part is you convince the adversary that he went ahead and tried to do this. he failed, but now he will be on the receiving end of retaliation that is how you communicate

the spokesman for the national security council of the white house, john kirby, said on the air of thecan television channel nbc. according to him, precisely thanks to with the help of the usa and not only tzahal servicemen of the israel defense forces managed to shoot down 80 drones and six ballistic missiles. and when the presenter directly asked admiral kirby whether it can already be considered that the united states is directly involved in this conflict? he replied, what exactly? listen very carefully because... there are at least two questions for him, and now it's straight from john kirby. yes, it was a purely defensive mission, it was fully in line with our duties and our obligations to protect israel. and again, kristan - it was not only us, other countries also participated. that is, two key points, it was israel's defense mission, and secondly, the us had certain obligations to the front. israel, vasyl, didn’t we have a defense mission in february 22, when we asked our overseas partners to close the sky above the earth, for some reason they didn’t say then what tsemeron said

there we are, that was john kirby there — are taking.in detail what they want to see from israel in terms of concrete steps. more humanitarian aid into gaza. still to come on the world today... nato turns 75 in the alliance leaders are sitting in brussels where they are discussing ukraine. and frustration for passengers flying from uk airports with the roll—out of new security scanners still in limbo. around the world and across the uk, this is the world today on bbc news. the british foreign secretary, lord cameron, has ruled out western troops being sent to ukraine. he was speaking to the bbc�*s ukrainecast programme as the nato alliance marked its 75th anniversary. what nato's looking at is a nato mission for ukraine, not a nato mission in ukraine. it's making sure that we use nato's architecture to help deliver some of the support that ukraine needs, but fundamentally i think that we should do everything we can to help ukraine. that's been britain's position, and i think it's not escalatory to say we are going to help this independen

a us security spokesman, john kirby, said washington was not seeking a wider war.told meet the press on nbc that it would be up to israel whether or how to respond — but the us wouldn't take part in any attack on iran. the israeli war cabinet has been meeting to discuss its response to the attack. a senior minister, benny gantz, said israel would exact a price from iran in its own time and fashion. the defence minister, yoav gallant, said the confrontation with iran wasn't over, and israel must prepare for every scenario. iran has warned of a much bigger response if israel retaliates. a meeting of g7 leaders, called by president biden, has "unanimously" condemned the iranian attack and called on both sides "to exercise restraint". the group said they stood �*ready to take measures�* in response to further destabilisation by iran. the israeli military has announced it will be calling up two reserve brigades for operations in gaza. in the last hour, a spokesperson for israel's defence forces, daniel hagari held a news conference on those attacks. let's have a listen.

with john kirby there in terms of the capability that they have and the allies and partners. that is key point here, iran has been trying to isolate israel and this makes it clear that they have not succeeded. so they better come to some sort of an agreement that ramps down the tensions. >> adam smith, good to see you sir, thank you. >>> national security council spokesperson john kirby will be sitting down with our own jen saki at 12 pm eastern right here on nbc, you won't want to miss that important interview but despite causing minimal damage, iran is betraying its attack on israel as a success. we are warning against any response from israel. talking about iran's strategy and what it means for a potential wider region conflict after the break. the break. ines, i get 5g, truly unlimited data, and unlimited hotspot data. so, no matter what, i'm running this kitchen.

just a few hours after what happened, john kirby, the coordinator of strategic communications at the council, says this, listen. about the attack in moscow. i know you're still gathering information, but do you have any idea if this could even be related to the conflict in ukraine? at this point, there is no indication that ukraine or ukrainians were involved. remember, just recently we talked in our program about navalny, how a few minutes after navalny’s death, people all over the world began to express condolences and blame russia. and putin in the murder of oppositionists, almost the same thing happened here, a few hours later the perpetrators were found, moreover, this happened in a country where they still cannot find those who were guilty of blowing up nord stream 2, this is still unknown , not only that, there is still a question mark as to who killed kennedy, there are a lot of questions in country of the unauthorized. this one was decided immediately after john kirby, around midnight, when the criminals had not yet been caught and it was still raining on the agent channel.

host: john kirby yesterday on "face the nation." on that exchange and what does it mean for lawmakers? guest: this is another storyline to watch. there's no question that frustrations have hit a boiling point in the democratic caucus. tim kaine came out with a statement saying the biden approaches -- the biden administrations approach was not working. usually an ally is reluctant to criticize the president. bernie sanders has been hitting this for quite a while. i think that's going to also further complicate the math and the dynamicsdy around the aid package when it hits the house floor as well. along with this it's out there i think a similar more house democrats unwilling to rubberstamp additional eight israel without real concessions from them. that yet another storyline trundle back to your phone calls. john in maryland, independent. good morning. you're on with anthony adragna. >> caller: yeah, good morning. i am confused when it comes to the debt. they're always talk about how much america owes, but yet america spends all thi

just a few hours after what happened, john kirby, the coordinator of strategic communications at the this, listen. moreover, there is still a question mark as to who killed kennedy, there are a lot of unresolved issues in the country, but this one was resolved immediately. after john kirby, around midnight, before were, the criminals were caught and on the agent channel doge shows a screenshot from an account allegedly associated with isis, which is banned in russia and reports that. here's a comparison with footage from kandahar in afghanistan: a suicide bomber from the isis group blows himself up in the passage of a shopping center leading to a crowded square, eight dead and 20 wounded, a typical practice of religious fanatics. islamists and gilas have a fundamentally different attitude towards their own lives. popular american blogger jack pasabetz noted: islamic radicals states never leave the scene of an attack. these are suicide bombers who do not think about whether the special services will catch up with them or not, and even more so they do not shake like a leaf after being

especially from someone like john kirby. it is totally unacceptable. are hearing about violation after violation. i'm not a lawyer but it is kind of strange to hear the entire group of experts, eyewitnesses are suggesting there is some serious violations taking place here and it is happening multiple times over the course of six months. it starts to suggest there's a pattern of behavior in place. instead, your response saying, be patient, watch out, everything we've seen so far has suggested there isn't anything there. 33,000 dead palestinians in the gaza strip. how did that happen? john kirby would not be able to answer that based on the tone he has taken. that is highlighting what we're talking about when we say it seems like the sort of sub or to this diplomatic cover for the biden administration is unwavering. even though the red record told may change here or there with respect to technology, the human suffering that is taking place in the humanitarian catastrophe -- all of these other comments sort of sub pport the theme of what has taken place.

literally in a few hours after what happened, john kirby, coordinator of strategic communications atcurity council, says the following. listen. about the attacks in moscow. i know you're still gathering information, but if you have any... an idea of ​​whether this could even be related to the conflict in ukraine. at this point there is no indication that ukraine or ukrainians were involved in this shooting, but again, this just happened, we are still looking into it, but i would disabuse you at this early hour of any connections with ukraine. that is, instantly, right away. the first thing that is being done is to remove suspicion from ukraine, and look at how quickly. remember, just recently we talked about navalny in our program, in a few minutes. after navalny’s death, people all over the world began to express condolences and accuse russia and putin of killing oppositionists. pretty much the same. happened here too, a few hours later the perpetrators were found, moreover, this happened in a country where they still cannot find those who were guilty of the bombing nord stream 2, t

john kirby was briefing. how will the u.s. determine about meaningful aid? have aid groups afraid to go in. they need to see guidelines that a mistake like this will not happen again. >> reporter: you are. as you heard from blinken, the focus is on results they want to see. the key takeaways that we learned, the results that we heard about with only a matter of hours of this tense 30-minute call taking place was the opening of the crossing in northern gaza, the port which is close to northern gaza, which would allow for a more direct line to get aid into gaza. it's one thing to make a commitment. it's another thing to see action. as blinken would say, we will just have to see how many trucks in terms of real aid is moving in and is allowed to get in there in real time. one other thing you have been talking, the conversation, the back and forth over the calling for an independent investigation -- >> peter, i hate to interrupt. we have this earthquake situation. mayor adams has started briefing. stand by. we will return to this. >> 50 miles from new york city.

. >> dana: john kirby is here. first let's go to trey yengst in tel aviv. how does it look this morning? >> good morning. we're gathering more information on this brazen iranian attack against israel over the weekend that included hundreds of drones and missiles. i just got off a briefing with an israeli air force official who indicated u.s. central command deserves much of the credit for organizing the shoot down of these drones and missiles. israelis had jets in the sky along with the americans working to intercept the iranian projectiles during this attack. right now as we speak israel's war cabinet is meeting to determine what an appropriate response might look like. there are differences in opinion on the scope, scale and timing of such an israeli counter attack against iran and all of this comes as president biden is set to meet with the iraqi prime minister today in washington. they are likely to discuss this attack over the weekend amid reports that president biden indicated to prime minister netanyahu the united states will not help in any sort of

you heard what john kirby said. in this war with the death of those seven aid workers. >> you know, martha, that was a very powerful interview obviously with chef andrÉs. what i'm struck by is the sad prescience of president biden six months ago going into israel and warning them do not make the same mistake that america made after 9/11. think about how you prosecute this war against hamas. here we are six months later. for me, the question is, how does this even end? i don't see any scenario right now that looks like victory for israel. i see grinding attrition. i see a growing political bind here in the united states for president biden so eloquently, unfortunately, captured by chef andrÉs today. biden can't really risk a full break with israel, but at the same time, he's demanding conditions that, you know, may not be enough really to change the trajectory of what's happening on the ground. >> and, donna, i want to talk to you about that. this has obviously been a huge issue for president biden, but the time line

john kirby talking in the last little while.ctures released by the idf showing inception the idf say "this is what a 99% interception rate looks like." let's speak to danny danon, member of israeli parliament and israel's former ambassdor to the un. he joins us from tel aviv. your reaction to what we saw overnight? it your reaction to what we saw overnight?— your reaction to what we saw overniuht? . , , ., ., ., , overnight? it was phenomenal last niuht overnight? it was phenomenal last ni . ht what overnight? it was phenomenal last night what happened. _ overnight? it was phenomenal last night what happened. to _ overnight? it was phenomenal last night what happened. to see - overnight? it was phenomenal last night what happened. to see the l night what happened. to see the amazing capability of our defence system, beyond expectations, we were lucky. we were prepared and we are grateful for our defence system and the allies that sit with us. but we have to look at the intention of the iranians, sending 300 projectiles into isra

and in fact, john kirby disclosed there that the u.s. has now been informed that israel has completed a preliminary investigation into what happened last night. he said that the results of that preliminary review are now making their way up the chain of command within israel's military. but we should say from the israeli perspective, the fact that within 24 hours, prime minister netanyahu came out and essentially acknowledged this was an israeli air strike is very different from what we've seen from israel in many past instances where there have been strikes on hospitals or other questionable circumstances in the gaza strip where it has taken israel days if ever to comment or acknowledge whether it was in fact an israeli strike that took place. i think that speaks to the fact that prime minister netanyahu and the rest of the israeli government know clearly that the entire world is watching. that for many folks who are inclined to support israel's right to self-defense, the targeting of aid workers if that was that, is a bridge too far. a

i'll ask john kirby in a moment in an escalating war with israel.g to the united states saying it is a conflict between iran and the rogue israeli regime, from which the u.s. must stay away. the big question is, what happens now? last night the defense minister made clear the campaign is not yet over. the war cabinet is meeting as we speak, and we'll bring you any update ifs that over the next hour. president biden and u.s. officials played a significant role in protecting israel against the strikes from iran last night, new reporting makes clear patience from the president is not unlimited. as nbc news reports, there's concern among top u.s. officials that israel could respond too quickly without thinking through the potential fallout. there's also been private frustration with israel's decision to strike the consulate in syria earlier this month. the israelis don't always make the best strategic decisions. the president told netanyahu in their phone call to quote take the win. and israel should not retaliate against iran. adding that the u.s. won'

and as you heard john kirby say, those decisions haven't been meat y made yet on what a reprisal wouldel. would you advise for israeli leaders to pull back here? how concern ready ed are you ab regional escalation? >> one opportunities for a victor in a major battle that israel won is the opportunity to use restraint. i would council restraint. there would be voices that will urge israelis to take out the iranian nuclear program, which i think is a false chim ra anyway. if you do something, they may have to do something, i would be precise and short. the fact of the matter is, israel can name the price they want to exact. the wide gap between iranian zealotry and confidence has been laid bare for all to see. the israelis will be able to do what you want. but sometimes showing restraint is the best option you can take. >> chairman mccaul was here and he said we see iran is now not ten feet tall. it sounds lake like you're sayi israel can shrug this off. >> i don't think israel can shrug it off. they have to be concerned about lebanese hezbollah. they can hurt israel if they come into th
