mr. netanyahu.st response today to mr. kerry and tell him yes, he accepts the egyptian initiative with the additions made by mr. kerry after his investigations that a cease-fire should be starting tonight and that in the next few days agreements should be reached to really end the siege of gaza and proceed to a normal and safe life for the palestinian people in gaza. this is really what's on mr. netanyahu's table. and this is what we are waiting a response for. this is a proposal that all the palestinians and mr. mahmoud abbas and the palestinian authority are backing. and you could see that the palestinians, the west bank, are all really united behind this cease-fire and its effect and it's mr. netanyahu's call to say yes tonight. >> basically, what i think i heard from the israeli minister of intelligence is they're ready for a cease-fire, but they don't like these new conditions that have been attached to the initial egyptian proposal. i'm not exactly sure what those new conditions are. maybe you

mr. netanyahu is practically occupying gaza again. he's trying to solve the problem of 45 years of military occupation by expanding. the water supply is cut from very big amount of -- from about 300,000 people. electricity is cut also from wide areas. so, which means about 500,000 people don't have electricity. and they -- and they -- medical supplies are very short. in addition to that, hundreds of thousands of people do not have access to medical or health care. and first aid teams -- our first aid teams as well as medical personnel cannot reach them because of the constant bombardment. >> so, doctor -- >> and this is not a war on hamas. this is a war on all palestinian people in gaza. >> let me interrupt you there, sir, because israel says that as an answer to that, if hamas had accepted the cease-fire afforded by egyptians, then none of this would have been necessary. my question for you, is there any hope now the u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon can negotiate some kind of cease-fire? is hamas ready to accept it? is that even po

mr. netanyahu doing the u.s. political talk show rounds today, tell us more about what he had to say. >> he essentially indicated that the israeli military isn't going to stop the offensive against hamas and to a less extent islamic jihad anytime soon despite international efforts to broker a cease-fire. we saw going into this weekend the israeli cabinet rejecting out of hand a proposal set forward by the secretary of state john kerry that would have ail lieued for a seven-day humanitarian pause so both sides could be brought to the table and try to hammer out some sort of cease-fire that would address their very real concerns. the israelis, of course, very concerned about the security of their territory and their citizens. hamas trying to advocate on behalf of the people of gaza to give them more freedom to move in and out of the gaza strip, to allow goods and humanitarian supplies to come into the strip and basically try to ease the blockade. we're very far from that right now. >> now that u.s. secretary of sta

mr. netanyahu who has made everything he could as prime minister of israel to destroy the last opportunity of peace talks when mr. kerry took his initiative. and i think many american officials admit already that israel spoiled the very last opportunity of peace negotiations. >> thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> and still ahead. strained relationship as second case of u.s. spying in germany. what german investigators are saying about the situation. >>> and sex on campus, why federal lawmakers are getting involved. >> for the second time in a week, german officials are looking into a situation of spying, involving the united states. the man under investigation worked at germany's defense minuteministry. the two cases are fueling tensions between the countries. the german government saysists investigating but is not revealing more details. >>> a new revelation tonight on spying and prying here in the u.s. accusing the u.s. of secretly investigating prominent muslim americans. john terret joins us. these are explosive allegations here. >> they are jonathan, that's absolutely r

mr. netanyahu. i smell an administration rat. >> proposal from kerry for the continuation of the 12 hour humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. as a, quote, strategic terrorist attack. and the times of israel as a betrayal. that he is now considered duplicitous and dangerous. kerry and his officials say that document smithed to the israeli security cabinet was meant as a working document not a final proposal. the israeli cabinet unanimously rejected it believing it did not give israel the right to continue action against the hamas tunnels. insurances that -- assurances that have been given privately to netanyahu. joie. these attacks against kerry are offensive and gra tu to us. that led to a -- gra tu t gratu. very clear is our strategic imperative to get to a ceasefire to end hostilities, now. not next week. not two weeks from now. but now. >> yeah but the problem with that is, what is the likelihood that mr. obama can get that? >> we heard from prime minister netanyahu earlier this evening that they will

mr. netanyahu said this morning the stand by for significant escalation for ground offensive.mportant he also said in a clear message to israeli people, there's so no such thing as 100% success. everyone involved knows this sooner or later has to come to an end. it's a question of how much damage israel can do to hamas military capability. on the other side, does that focus on hamas mean politically in gaza, hamas emerges stronger from this? >> thank you very much indeed. let's find out the view in gaza. clearly a desperate place for citizens to be, for residents. hamas weakened or strengthened by these sorts of incursions? >> first of all it's quite frankly a terrifying place for people to be in gaza at the moment. we've got the air strikes to the north and east and south of the gaza strip. a lot of shelling happened as well. people are watching at home on their television sets. they're seeing quite awful pictures such as those of three pill -- palestinian children brought in. that brings the total number of palestinians killed to more than 260. you can really understand why

mr. netanyahu to get a call from mr.rry to basically find exactly what his mission is and get out as requesticly as possible. >> you can see the explosions going on in gaza. ambassador mark ginsburg on a very busy news day across the globe. our coverage on the israeli ground invasion and the plane crash continues right now with alex wagner. >> we are awaiting a press conference from malaysia airlines on breaking news. a malaysia airlines passenger plane with 295 people onboard has gone down near the border with russia. there are unconfirmed reports that it was shot down. let us start with what we know. just before noon on the east coast, malaysia airlines announced it had lost contact with the boeing 777 malaysia airlines mh17 to kuala lumpur. we have new, dramatic video, unconfirmed from nbc, but reportedly from the crash scene showing a sprawling field of debris, some of which appears to have the malaysia airlines logo. evidence of scattered pass books and guide books litters a smoking field. more video shows billowing

mr. netanyahu has been giving.3 israeli soldiers were killed in clashes with hamas overnight. that for hamas in guerrilla war terms is a big success. it shows us since 2012, 2009, the last confrontations between hamas and israel, that hamas has improved its tactics, improved its technology, it's fighting a much more effective war against a more powerful israeli machine this time around. but in terms of the impact on their claims of the capture of an israeli soldier on the northeast gaza border this morning, we have to see how israel responds. tonight we can hear many, many drones, many israeli drones in the air. they've been in the air on previous nights as well. but tonight my guess is they will be searching for clues about where this israeli soldier is. my guess is that if israeli commandos can try and rescue that soldier alive, they will try and do so. this is a very fluid situation, of course, and we're keeping our eyes on it. when we must also be clear and wait for, no firm conformation from the israeli milita

mr. netanyahu who loves to lump everybody under hamas accused hamas of everything including killing its owneople and so on. >> as a religious holiday celebration is about to start, the latest attempt at a truce in the gaza strip seems to be getting little traction as israel and hamas wrangle over terms, international diplomats try to figure out a path to sustainable cease-fire.

mr. netanyahu saying that this could be a boarding of the operation. we do not know yet what he means by that. we know several more thousand troops can be called in. this was authorized. we do not know what that means in terms of ground operation. i think at the moment, they are still staying with airstrikes. of course, it is a very tense situation here, and it is also for the civilian population very difficult in the gaza strip. around me, there are a lot of people watching what is happening in gaza from the hilltop here, and in gaza, i talked to some people on the phone who are very worried how the next hours will unfold because we do not know how much further this will escalate. >> is breaking developments for us on the border with gaza. thank you so much for that update. >> to asia now where japan is being battered by one of the biggest storms in the region in decades. >> local officials say at least one person was killed and over two dozen injured when he typhoons struck. it has brought torrential rain and strong winds. authorities have issued eme

mr. netanyahu did not say what would trigger another escalation in the campaign against hamas militants.srael's ground offensive is entering its third day with tanks and soldiers backed up by aerial and naval support. the military says it is targeting tunnels used by hamas to smuggle weapons. and in the process, parts of gaza are being reduced to rubble. palestinian officials say more than 300 gaza residents have now been killed in the latest round of violence. many of them civilian. many of them children. as we were mentioning, the kids are the ones who are falling victim to all of this in many cases. our karl penhaul is in gaza. his report contains some images you may find disturbing as he tells us about the price ordinary civilians are paying. >> reporter: a soft plea, daddy, don't leave me. muhammad is only 3. he's never picked a fight in his life, so he can't understand why he's being punished. just go ahead and tell the world my son was firing rockets as tel aviv or jerusalem, his father says. words loaded with irony and anger. he says an israeli missile slammed into their home in

mr. netanyahu went into the cabinet meeting tonight saying he has three missions he is aiming for. one is to find the kidnappers, to catch the kidnappers, and those who helped them. second, to weaken hamas in the west bank and also to operate against hamas in gaza and also to expand if necessary. some analysts believe -- i mean, we have heard the statements before that israel is not really interested in further escalating. it is already in escalated situation right now. for israel, it is important to create deterrence against hamas, and that is what they need, to feel they are continuing to do so, but what happens in the next coming hours and coming days is very important. >> what can we expect in terms of the palestinian unity government? >> this is a big question because there is a lot of pressure on the palestinian president to stop this reconciliation process. israel has said it time and time again -- they called after peace talks a couple of months ago, and they have said they cannot sit with hamas and continue this reconciliation process. but the palestinian street is saying

domestic issues in that they mean some issues regarding the coalition the main thing that the mr netanyahu is eager to please is not the security of israeli civilians but the security always on coalition of course we are keeping a close watch on all the latest that is coming out of gaza and israel on the air and online for you with r.t. dot com we're bring you the latest as we get it. still to come extremists expansion we track the self-proclaimed islamic state spanning parts of syria and iraq is the jihadi sees more weapons and attract fresh recruits plus president putin is making new friends in south america we report on what came out of his maiden trip to argentina and where he's heading next we've got the stories coming up shortly. the stories we cover here not going here in iraq other big story abstract headlines there's a reason they don't want to. point. out now let's break the set . i. i. i i i. i. i i. i. i married you join me. in our. family are very contribute and much like. only i'm from past and all. logan welcome back now another story we have been following this week relatio

mr. netanyahu, on how the public is responding. i have to tell you that the public, yes, they are those against what's going on, but most of the public broadly supports the ongoing military operation, and some would like to see it intensified. >> james, thanks very much for updating us there on the situation in west jerusalem. the israeli prime minister spokesman blames hamas for not reaching a cease-fire agreement. >> israel accepted already a week ago an egyptian proposal for an unconditional cease-fire. this egyptian proposal was supported by the arab league, by the united nations, by many, many others. hamas said no, and hamas continues unfortunately up until no to say no. the leader of hamas said yesterday in qatar that he put so many preconditions on a cease-fire to make a cease-fire impossible. so if the conflict continues and the bloodshed continues, it's because hamas has said no and has closed the door on a diplomatic solution. >> joinings now live from beirut is the hamas spokesman. thanks very much for being with us. le

operation from the international community but i think we we heard that mr obama made a phone call to mr netanyahu but he has to assess his political condition within his own government i think. most of region basically they're pretty much involved with internal conflict when you look at the middle east literally every country has a major conference on no. iraq so basically this this confrontation this does that and the west bank came from nowhere at this point and maybe somebody time it to be such that but i think the level of rockets and the mom bargeman eventually can raise some major are alarm within the international community and even within the arab community which push. all parties to actually abide by a ceasefire but i don't see it any time soon i think maybe the israeli really thinking having maybe a ground operation because because they feel that maybe this is a time considering the business of the whole region in their own internal conflict . right political analyst tantalising thank you very much for your. thank you. well a fence between terminator and the u.s. have now reached their

issue in that light that they mean some issues regarding the coalition the main thing that the mr netanyahu is eager to please there is not the security of israeli civilians but the security of his own coalition. we are keeping a close watch on all the latest coming out of gaza and israel on air and online at r.t. dot com we'll bring you the latest as we get it. another story we've been following this week relations between germany and america have suffered another blow germany kicked out the cia chief in berlin after officials are nasty to allege u.s. spies working for state security anger over the snooping is widespread the german interior minister dismissed the information obtained by the alleged spies as laughable but said the political damage is serious a left party member expressed outrage saying there is no longer blind trust in in the u.s. and the justice minister has demanded u.s. spying in germany be stopped once and for all artes peter all of a has more on the story now from berlin. sent packing a with a flea in his ear and. i just want to say it if you see it was human common se

mystic issue in that by dr i mean some issues regarding the coalition the main theme that the mr netanyahu is eager to please there is no the security of israeli civilians but the security of his own coalition and you can find all the latest developments figures and videos relating to israel's continued military operation in gaza on our websites. to more people have been killed by shelling in the eastern ukrainian city of lugansk locals say they were hit by ordinance fired by government forces please don't that's a good spot the front of all of it if you look at the way that you want to do it because it will. be close to the road. the ukrainian military has been given orders to surround the two biggest cities in the east stand to government forces currently control both now the extent of their influence is actually marked here in dark orange and our correspondent maria is actually in the grounds which is right here for us in trip or so on how the city is taken to life under siege. we don't leave hotel without bulletproof jackets both sides may be they will not talk of presidential areas bu

mr. netanyahu said tonight is that israel will continue to act as necessary.but after international criticism over the bloodshed in gaza, the israeli prime minister repeated his accusation today that all civilian deaths are the fault of the militants, not of israel, because he says that the militants are using civilians as human shields. also today here in israel they buried pfeiffer soldiers who were killed-- five soldiers killed on friday and saturday, three of them were just 20 years old. >> holly williams in tel aviv, thanks. >> we turn next to our other big story developing tonight in eastern ukraine. pro russian separatists are moving the bodies of airliner crash victims to refrigerated train cars miles away. and there was international outrage over the handling of the bodies as well as suspected tampering of the evidence. we begin with mark phillips at the crash site. >> reporter: three days after the crash and after three days of outcry from the families of the victims that they were still lying exposed and decomposing among the wreckage the local auth

mr. netanyahu. netanyahu gave signs he favored romney during the election. this has not been a warm relationship. i think that in this case, janeane is right, they did not like the why would of turkey and qatar coming in on the side of hamas in these -- in these negotiations. kerry's view was, we can't talk to hamas because they're a terrorist group and this is the only way we can reach them. so there is a cool relationship. so the newspaper had an editorial saying barack obama and the united states are not the enemy, so there are some people over there trying to say, wait a minute, we have to pull back from this. >> let's listen to what the israeli ambassador said to andrea mitchell today about this. >> i said yesterday publicly, in the name of the prime minister, i directly spoke to the prime minister who told me to make clear that the attacks on secretary kerry are unwanted. i think what people don't understand, you have reporters there in israel that might understand this. 87% of the israeli people are against the cease-fire. >> we saw that yesterday. >>

mr. netanyahu has of the israeli people. support a of israelis cease-fire. the majority back the current operation, backing the prime minister. science, iust rocket think the israelis would be less concerned. they talking about how hamas had planned to launch a massive strike over the jewish and ports == trying to kill us picked up was possible. this inspires terror into israelis. that is why they feel that this mission is one that has to be carried out and finished. >> thank you so much from tel aviv. this hour, we look across economics, finance, and technology. our guest host was steve -- he barely describes the excitement of his new duties. fromuest host is mark, asset management. he has this great optimistic perspective. loomnt to frame the g that i hear over the weekend. bubble was the word in the literature. are we in a bubble? >> no. you are in a bull market. bull markets have great deals of enthusiasm. they always look a little bit silly. it is not the late 1990's at this point in time. aspects may look familiar. you're talking about m&a. i think the

mr. netanyahu to the egyptians to the arabs to everyone, we need to stop this madness.e need to stop this massacre committed against the palestinian people in gaza. that's what we need. >> because we were hopeful, saeb, we were hopeful today, hold on a second. saeb -- we were hopeful for a cease-fire earlier in the day when one of the top aides to president mahmoud abbas said that all the palestinian factions were on board for a 24-hour cease-fire. israel was not commenting on that time but all of a sudden, the military commander of hamas seems to pull the rug out from under the political wing from under the statement that the palestinian authority released and said no cease-fire. >> why can't the israelis, wolf, why can't the israelis say we accept secretary kerry's offer for a 11-day cease-fire? why can't they test us? i mean it's not about scoring points. this madness is going to lead to israel totally occupation of gaza. that's political blindness. this would lead to an interruption of the west bank and jerusalem. this would lead to destruction of the palestinian au

mr. netanyahu.will be taking all of that up with the israeli ambassador to the united states or tonight. and sergeant andrew timmer racey finally able to tell his story in court but it's unclear whether anyone was listening he joins us here live and we begin tonight with the warnings from homeland security secretary jeh johnson, who testified before the senate appropriations committee. >> it there will be approximately 90,000 unaccompanied children across the border in fiscal 2014, and 100 worry bows and in fiscal 15. at our current burn rate within the department of homeland security, we will run out of money in mid-august. >> lawmakers on both sides skeptical about the administration's plan or lack of plan connected to the request for $3.7 billion in emergency funding. our first ss of times when force current immigration laws and joining us now is congressman john culberson, it is good to have you with us. >> it's good to be with you. lou: secretary jeh johnson talking about what he found on the b

mr. netanyahu has is to put troops to the ground to fory on the ouy onferretout these tunne. and learning that power of the israel air force have gone into the tunnels to hide, only way to get them out is go in, collapse them, and blow them up to keep hamas from endangering innocent israeli civilians. >> thank you. lou: president obama not the only one in administration learning go scandals through the media reports, testifying on the scandal today in internal revenue service, number 2 men, d out about loisnt attorney lerner's missing e-mails and her so-called recycleed hard drive through news reports. >> we learned in congress, on june 13, 2014, that two years' worth of lois lerner's e-mails went missing, when did the justice deputy learn about that? i think we learned it afterward. lou: republicans have been argue that justice department is doing a poor job of investigating irs. >> how many witnesss have been interviewed. >> i cannot tell you that. >> because you don't know or you choose not to answer. >> both. lou: at least one target, of the irs, tea party group, true the

mr. netanyahu, sirens went off in tel aviv.nited states and our friends and allies are deeply concerned about the risks of further escalation, and loss of more innocent life. and that is why we have indicated, although we support military efforts by the israelis to make sure that rockets are not being fired into their --ritory, we also have sent said our understanding as the current military ground operations are designed to do with the tunnels and we are hopeful that israel will continue to approach this process in a way that minimizes civilian casualties and that all of us are working hard to return to the cease-fire that was reached in november 2012. secretary john kerry is working to support egypt's initiative to pursue that outcome. john isy mr. netanyahu prepared to travel to the region following additional consultations. let me close by making one additional comment. on board malaysian flight

now, let's bring in israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. mr. minister, first, hamas broke the cease-fire and the fighting resumed. now hamas wants a cease-fire. will israel accept that, and what happens next? >> well, hamas has broken five cease-fires that we accepted. and weimpmented. they rejected all of them, violated all of them, including two humanitarian cease-fires in the last 24 hours. now they come with their own cease-fire proposal, and believe it or not, they have violated even their own cease-fire proposal. they're shooting at us as we speak. so israel is not obliged and is not going to het a terrorist organization decide when it's convenient to fire at our cities, at our people, and when it's not, when they can restock. we'll take the necessary action to protect our people, including, by the way, continuing to dismantle the tunnels. that's my policy. >> so basically, the offensive, the israeli offensive in gaza is going to continue? >> we'll do whatever is necessary to achieve our goal, which is to get a sustainable quiet. as far a

mr. netanyahu talking about israel defending itself. it is not like that at all.e poor palestinians that are really entrapped in gaza strip and we all know how dense is the population living in that piece of land. i cannot understand how the world can watch and see. i actually heard mr. cameron yesterday talking about what they should do with russia when it comes to ukraine. but none of this you hear about the palestinians. the palestinians can die. it seems that the world can watch. but this should not happen. >> i think it isn't the problem you are saying is that that part of the world is so complex, so entangled, that world leaders are afraid to speak out for upsetting one another. you. >> upsetting israel. it's israel that's the darling. world. it's israel that has the congress, american congress on its side. so, it's clear who really is the victim here but what i do not understand is that the hypocracy that is going on. the world is treating this as another syria or iraq or people as if they got used to arab blood being spilled. it's fine. they don't -- it's

mr. netanyahu. i think we need to be a little cautious at the moment. we're hearing from israel, one of the players in this. it will feel more confident and solid when we hear from hamas, ji had and key nations too. very encouraging significant news coming as the humanitarian pause begins to tick down. >> that's obviously crucial. we're waiting to hear from hamas. when do you think that could take place? what's the usual thing in terms of timing? >> hamas is a complex organization. it has military and political structureses, leaders in exile, leaders in hiding of course in gaza. they've been targeted in raids. we know they're represented at a senior level in these talks. jihad was represented too. they may feel they have to send a signal to their people in gaza before they talk to the wider world. their priority won't be international news media. it will be their people. if a cease fire is due to start tomorrow morning, it won't be long before we hear from other players. this will be more some i had when we have the words of other sides. >> we've had re

mr. netanyahu is war against gaza. g politician national unity government which we achieved recently which concerned netanyahu. he did not want to see the people united behind political platform leading to two step solution. this war was initiated by netanyahu to undermine this opportunity. from our side, we are united. the people of hamas and jihad are cooperating with egyptians, with everybody in order to face this war. >> can i ask you briefly though, are you saying that you don't think an agreement can be reached in cairo? there's not going to be any immediate cease fire on the table that can be agreed on? >> unless israelis declare cut cease fire from their side because they are attacking. they are bombing. they are shelling, they are destroying. the escalation last night was a message to everybody who is talking about any talks. first of all the egyptians, the americans, everybody should contend these attacks and a trosties and genocide war. then we can go and talk. this should be a starting point ending israeli o

mr. netanyahu cartoon bomb at the general assembly. that's an excellent prop because what the joint plan of action did was as my friend joe puts it drained the bomb. what the iranians have done and what they have confirmed they have done is live up to their agreement of taking the 20% enriched uranium and i did lut it and they made the furtherer commitment of speeding up the using of the objection exide to make fuel plates for their reactor which puts it farther out of reach with regard to proliferation concern. there have also been formulas that have addressed the reactor which appears to involve redesign which makes it far less of an effective plutonium producer. we have the outline there. the fact we have that outline and it's more than just an outline, it's an agreement that's been observed by both side over these last six months is a bit of a further challenge for the obama administration in selling a final agreement because to put it bluntly we got the better side of the deal last november. we got the key provisions that drains t

mr. netanyahu is playing tactics here.side he kept saying i can't make peace because he does not represent all palestinians and palestinians are zwid when and when we got unified he started to attack the unity structure. both sides are not on the same page. there are differences about you we need leadership. we need the leadership that can be responsible in making peace and can be responsible in whatever decisions it makes about our forms of struggle the. on the other hand, let me reiterate one point here about your previous questions to us. there is a very important point to note which is there is inequality here. you're talking about a very might aught military army, the israel army probably the fifth largest in the world versus hamas which has basically primitive means in terms of comparison. that's why you see so many casualties on the palestinian side and so little on the israeli side. but what you see here is hamas is conducting some sort of psychological war while israel is conducting a real military attack. and it'

mr. netanyahu yesterday said targeting tunnels remains one of the main objectives of the campaign. for now he does seem to have widespread support despite the rising number of israeli soldier casualties. >> many thanks. >>> we're going to move on to ukraine. fighting between ukrainian government forces and separatists has insta gaited. the defense minister of the self-proclaimed people's republic of donetsk says militia reinforcement from hamas are staging counter attacks against the advancing ukrainian army. meanwhile european officials are finalizing new sanctions to be imposed on russia. a short while ago, we got an update of what was happening on the ground. >> fighting has been intensifying in recent days particularly many the last 28 to to 48 hours. we've seen heavy fighting around the city of donetsk. that's the strategically important city. for month it's been the capital for pro russian rebels. it's a city that's important but also if the ukrainian army -- big if, we don't know when if they do. we think they could be mounting something in the future. if they take that city

mr. netanyahu to attribute the murders to hamas, which he did. that was followed by the roundup of roughly 600 palestinians associated with hamas in the west bank, two houses were destroyed, eight palestinians died in the roundup. there was an israeli raid into gaza that drew rocket fire from gaza. rocket fire then was used as a justification for the current operation. the problem here is also of war determination. the so-called truce offer was concocted between israel, egypt and the united states without reference to the other side. not only is that insulting, but inherently unworkable. it is the opposite of diplomacy. mr. kerry has been in egypt, talking to whom we don't know, because talking to the egyptians who are the enemies of the people in gaza right now is not going to do a damned thing. it is a nice show of activity, which seems to be our specialty these day. frenetic activity is us, but the prospects for it producing anything are extremely poor. so how will this end? let's not forget that there is a broader context in the palestinian c

mr. netanyahu will have a real political problem on his hands. he's had problems working with obama and is seen as a conservative. when you speak about the situation in israel, he has faced criticism from his right flank. he got one of his deputy ministers, a deputy defense minister pushed him out of the cabinet who had been critical of him not being tough enough. >> indeed. and remember, when prime minister sharon unilaterally with drew from gaza in 2006, and hamas was able to take over, the israelis have used that, the right wing in israel has used that as an excuse. we cannot pull out of the west bank. and more importantly because of the attacks, in the right wing government to not just go in militarily but in effect, politically destroy hamas' control over the gaza strip. either reoccupy it or to try to in effect do a political jiu jitsu and in effect, authorize the palestinian authority, president abbas, to come back into the gaza strip and take political control. >> stay with us. i want to bring in some reporting from the ground. >> good mo

mr. netanyahu.ut, people seem to be extremely split on weather a ground operation is the right way to go. john? >> diana for us on the border between israel and gaza. the conflict intensifying with missiles from lebanon coming in. thanks. >>> nuclear materials seized by isis when it took over mosul in iraq is low grade and does not pose significant safety or proliferation risk. they were responding to a letter from the u.n. ambassador. they could enable terrorists to carry out tasks if they had more expertise or use them in combination of other materials. isis took control of uranium used in research. >>> a stand down order held back a special ops team. it shows a military officer who issued the instruction. they testified it was the right call. instead the team was called to help protect and care for people evacuated from benghazi. one team member is credited with saving the life of one of the evacuees. >>> a delicate meeting in afghanistan. john kerry getting together with hamid karzai and u.n. of

mr. netanyahu who loves to lump everybody under hamas accused hamas of everything including killing its own people and so on. >> as a religious holiday celebration is about to start, the latest attempt at a truce in the gaza strip seems to be getting little traction as israel and hamas wrangle over terms, international diplomats try to figure out a path to sustainable cease-fire. >>> plus jerusalem mayor joins us live. >>> life on the board ear documentary film producer says you're not even getting half the real story. he talks to border patrol agents on the front lines of the immigration crisis about what is really happening when illegal immigrants cross the border. dennis michael lynch joins us live. >>> it was the scandal that shook the department of veterans affairs to the core. our veterans dying. lawmakers vowing to take swift action. so why hasn't that happened? we'll talk to senator isaacson. i'm shannon bream. we begin with a fox news alert. 20 days since israel and hamas began fighting. in the meantime death tolls have mounted and humanitarian cease-fires have been short-lived. an

mr. netanyahu and asked about a growing number of extremists in his country. >> i've been here in israel now for ten, 11 days. many israeli friends have said they are deeply concerned about what they see in this rise, tiny but very violent and dangerous jewish extremism. we saw that with that murder of that young palestinian boy and the aftermath of those three israeli teenagers who consider kidnapped and killed. how concerned are you about this? because that police report that came out in that murder of that -- you've read that. that was awful. >> well, here's the difference -- we don't glorify these killers. we apprehended them three days after that tragic killing, immediately put them custody, we're putting them on trial. they'll serve a good chunk of their lives in jail. that's what we do. we don't name public squares after them, we don't glorify them. we don't educate our children in suicide kindergarten camps as happens in the palestinian side and you should see what hamas is educating them to. no peace, no two-state solution, nothing. just jihad. more and more violence, more and m

mr. netanyahu cartoon bomb at the general assembly. that's an excellent prop because what the joint plan of action did was as my friend joe puts it drained the bomb. what the iranians have done and what they have confirmed they have done is live up to their agreement of taking the 20% enriched uranium and i did lut it and they made the furtherer commitment of speeding up the using of the objection exide to make fuel plates for their reactor which puts it farther out of reach with regard to proliferation concern. there have also been formulas that have addressed the reactor which appears to involve redesign which makes it far less of an effective plutonium producer. we have the outline there. the fact we have that outline and it's more than just an outline, it's an agreement that's been observed by both side over these last six months is a bit of a further challenge for the obama administration in selling a final agreement because to put it bluntly we got the better side of the deal last november. we got the key provisions that drains t
