with me to discuss, former israeli ambassador to the united states michael oren. mr. ambassador, good to see you again. do you think president biden will be able to continue prevailing upon prime minister netanyahu to continue delaying the ground incursion for the reasons laid out, to let humanitarian aid in and allow more hostages out? >> i don't know that he's actually prevailing upon benjamin netanyahu to do this. the national security council has denied it. the state department has denied it. let's say for argument's sake they are asking israel to delay a bit. that's going to be one of many considerations for israel. the question of whether the troops are ready to go in, whether they've gathered enough evidence and intelligence about enemy positions, about the location of the hostages, and finally, we want to get all of the palestinians citizens away from the combat zone. to have them in the middle of a cross-fight is not going to be good for us either. many other considerations. keep in mind we're at a total mobilization. we have 360,000 soldiers mobilized. these

i'm joined by michael oren, former ambassador to the united states.hat is israel looking for from the united states in this situation? >> good evening, jake. good evening. i want to express my condolences to the steinberg family. i knew general steinberg. extraordinary man, extraordinary defender of israel and the jewish people. what israel is expecting from the united states is stand foursquare with us. that was very much the essence of president biden's speech today. his statement, which was extraordinary, i don't think israel could have wanted anything more, to say that the united states will stand solidly with israel. it will give israel everything it needs. if i can unpack that for a second, in every round of fighting we've had with haums and hezbollah in lebanon, we tend to run out of certain types of ammunition. prepositioned beneath the state of israel, large amounts of american military equipment, including ammunition. we asked administrations during wartime for the keys, as we say, to these warehouses. and we are allowed to go in and take wh

joining us right now is michael oren, former israeli ambassador to the u.s. ambassador oren, thanks for being with us. how concerned are you about the situation in the best wang and also along the northern border with lebanon? >> good evening, hi, good to be with you again always, anderson. well, about the recent item you just had with becky, i would unequivocally condemn settler violence against innocent palestinians in the west bank. let's put it in context. roughly 30 jews have been massacred by hamas and terrorists in the west bank since the beginning of the year, including, you know, the mother and two daughters of a family. it's not just one-sided here, there's a battle going on between extremists on both sides and both of them have to be condemned and israel has to defend itself. i'm very concerned about the situation up north as we talked about before, possibly a multifront war is a reality and he hezbollah as a fighting force is roughly 15 times that of hamas. hamas has 10 to 15,000 rockets, hezbollah has 150,000 rockets, many which are buried under

larry: john, i saw a large part of your interview with michael oren who i happen to know.id i hear him say with respect to the hamas invasion, the idf could take care of business in three weeks? >> he used to be in charge of gaza back in 2018. so he knows the area very well. there is this debate in israel whether the ground forces should be used at all. again in 2006 the israeli air force was very effective dealing a blow to hezbollah mostly with the bombing of beirut. when the ground forces went in, i was there in along the peninsula, all the tanks were lined up, suddenly they rolled in. that is when israel started taking casualties. there is a sense while they do need to decimate hamas, they already left so many people they don't want to lose more in a ground fight. a big debate. we'll see what the idf does. larry: john, stay safe. >> thank you, larry, we will. larry: be sure to catch john and his coanchor sandra smith on "america reports" every day 1:00 p.m. eastern, fox news. we're looking at air sea and land, how will it work? joining us now, cameron hamilton former i

the former israeli ambassador to the u.s., michael oren, believe that that was a motivating factor, innge that dynamic. give me your thoughts on whether or not you see it that way, that hamas will be interested in sabotaging that. they haven't done something that with the abraham accords, but why would they do that now, potentially with saudi arabia. and to, is this enough to derail the situation? what are the demands, as we understand, from the saudis, for a comprehensive peace deal with israel. was there, for israel to make some kind of gesture or to offer something towards palestinian statehood? it is unlikely that israel would do that, given the current climate. >> yeah, absolutely. in terms of what those talks, they certainly will be postponed. whether or not they end, i think remains to be seen, it's going to be very very hard for the saudis, in particular, under pressure from much of the arab world, that doesn't have relations with israel, as well as other muslim majority countries, to enter into a deal with israel, and not give anything for the palestinians. so, that is certain

more on what the chances are now of the hostages making it home, cnn's wolf blitzer spoke with michael oren, a former israeli ambassador to the united states. >> israel is adocumenting an interesting military strategy, one we haven't used before. they're actually calling the american strategy, which is you target a certain neighborhood or village. you bomb that village to clear it out the best you can, you move forces in there, and then you establish that village as a bridge head to the next village or next neighborhood. so it's not a mass of soldiers moving in as we did in 2014. remember we moved the army all at one time and suffered a tremendous amount of casualties. israel is trying to do it as cautious as possibly and close the noose if you will around hamas. and also giving palestinians more time to flee to the south. i will add the former ambassador added he believes this aggressive military posture in his estimation may lead to the release of hostages. now, the u.n. secretary-general meantime visited doha on saturday to express thanks and support to qatar's prime minister for helping

governor, after president biden's speech yesterday, michael oren, the former israeli ambassador to thenited states said, quote, president biden's speech was the most passionately pro israel in history. he stood unequivocally against terror and anti-semitism and pledged the power of the u.s. to our defense. our people will always remember and cherish this speech and the man who delivered it. so what more or different would you have said than what president biden said? what comment by the way came from a man formerly known as bibi's man in washington. >> well, look, i think that those words were appreciated. i think, you know, he was missing in action over the weekend, they didn't even wake him up on saturday and then he called the lid monday when we had americans that were reported killed, but here i think is what's important, john. let's have unanimity between both parties all across this country that we're going to stand with israel not just today, not just tomorrow, but in the weeks and months ahead. i think there's going to end up being pressure, you already have the united nations,

. >> michael oren, thank you for your time. in addition to the hospital blast, there is the mass migration now underway in gaza. earlier tonight i spoke with a student, one of the hundreds of thousands of people who has moved further south. >> can you just tell us where you are now and what your situation is? >> before i start, i just a want to say that i'm here to represent every civilian and every woman who is trying to have basic rights and to live a normal, peaceful life. and right now i evacuated to the south as i followed instructions. they told us to evacuate from the north to the south. so my family and i evacuated to a house. one of our friend's house. and we are staying with 57 people here. >> 57 people in one house? >> yes. it's one room. one kitchen. one bath. so we are all sharing this place. >> and do you feel safer now where you are? obviously, there are still strikes going on in the south. >> of course not. and the whole gaza strip, there is no place is safe. there is no place safe. we hear the bombs. we see the

and one of the reasons why jesse michael oren, the former israeli ambassador to the united states, putt in a way that people at home can really understand here. israel is called october 7th. it's 911. 1400 people die. 3000 people died in america's 911. but if it was proportional to the population, the 1400 that died here in israel would be represented by 50,000 deaths on america's 911. >> yeah, puts it into perspective. and we don't buy anything that hamas says for humanitarian reasons. that's garbage. i do want to talk to you about the timetable, because the president, as he was leaving washington, was asked about that. >> listen. how would you call the ground operation, get more on the ground? >> so i don't know if you could hear that, but the reporter said, will israel delay their ground invasion until they get the hostages out? and the president said, yes. >> well, i mean, he went further than anthony blinken did because andrea mitchell at the state department asked blinken that exact same question today. and blinken went into a long answer about why nobody should believe anything

michael oren, the former ambassador here from israel to the united states, put it this way earlier today when he was appearing on one of our earlier programs, he said that, proportionally speaking, if you were to compare israel's 911, as they're calling it with our 11, because of the differences in population, 1400 israelis were killed on october the seventh. that would be like 50,000 americans being killed on 911. that's israel is so determined to make sure, judge, this never happens again. >> well, you know, john, it's very interesting that they're already tens of thousands of idf soldiers hours and columns of israeli tanks along the border know amassed along the israel-gaza border. they are ready, go. but it seems that everyone is telling the idf and the israelis, slow down, slow down, you know, and there's oh, it that it's almost an international effort to get them to not respond. certainly is growing pressure on israel to not respond on the ground because responding on the ground, obviously, it would create a lot more casualties in gaza. the idf would take casualties. hezbollah coul

many of us know former ambassador michael oren, the israeli ambassador to the united states when you were being rumored as a potential nominee, he said jack lew is reportedly a lead candidate to be us ambassador to israel. he's a true statement, statesman and a passionate jew as israel's ambassador to the u si greatly valued his friendship and his outstanding defense of the us israel alliance. i mention every sense of the word. sen. kaine: human rights activist, natan sharansky in 2015 said this, liu worked days and nights taking families of prisoners of zion through all the quarters of power to make sure the jews would be released. many soviet refuseniks owe their lives to him and others for the successful efforts to release them. uh israeli official, you've all signed. it's also in 2015, recalled that without lew's help, israel would never have been accepted into the oecd. these are comments that are powerful, there is a need for speed in acting on this nomination. i encourage my colleagues to do all we can to get it to the floor quickly so that we can have a confirmed ambassador t
