Transcripts For CNNW CNN 20240703

Cover it all here on cnn. Hopefully, we will have who can hear from him himself onon that. Right no cnn news night with abby phillip starts. Retaliatory strikes are underway tonight, as israelis compare this devastating attack by hamas to the terror of 9 11. This is the deadliest attack against jewish people since the holocaust, with a degree of barbarity not seen since isis. Israels Prime Minister is now saying or the next few days violence will really wear it across generations. Im abby philip, and this is new light. Youre fine, youre fine, youre fine, youre okay. [sound of artillery] youre all right, youre all right. [sound of artillery] okay. Thats the iron dome, okay . Yeah. At this point, we want to get hello. Okay. Standby. Hello, john, so forgive me im slightly inelegant thisish and, but we just had a massive barrage of rockets coming in here not too far from us. So we have had to take shelter here by the were just five minutes away. Gaza is in that direction. You can hear now a lot of jets in the sky. We can also hear the iron dome intercepting a number of those rockets as they were whizzing overhead and making impact in that direction, not too far from here. We came to this location because this was ground zero. People understand that this is where they go to get safe. But outside of, here smashed water bottles, broken shoes, and as i step inside here, you are overcome by the smell. And what is clear that happened here, people came in here to get shelter. There is gunshots that impacts all of the wall. I dont think well go into far, john. If we just step out, and let me describe what were seeing, because it is a very horrific testimony to the absolute carnage, rampage, and utter, utter brutality of hamas that people were hiding in. There and its absolutely clear from the blood on the walls, the bullet holes in the walls, that they just went in there and shot these innocent people cowering and hiding away from them. Those are harrowing scenes out of israel today, where a nation is still being terrorized as war breaks out. Israelis say that at least 900 people have been killed and nearly 3000 more men wounded. The number of u. S. Citizens among the dead rises now to 11, and the number of americans being held in hostages still a mystery. Many loved ones are still missing after being kidnapped, and hamas is now threatening to execute hostages on Live Television but if israel strikes gaza without warning. Now tonight, we will speak with some of the families of those who are missing or who managed to escape alive. Now back in washington, the white house is tonight in white and blue in support of israel, as the president and his Administration Says that the u. S. Stands shoulder to shoulder with the israeli people. Cnns of course live across the region that is now at war. But we begin tonight with cnns own anderson cooper, whos live in ashdod, israel. So anderson, netanyahu today promised that these airstrikes are just beginning. He says this will be a generational impact. And today, we saw so much activity, both in the skies and on the ground. What has been happening as you have been there in israel . Yeah, its about finding the right now here in austin that, were about 19 miles from gaza. And i can tell you just as youve been speaking, i have been hearing the sound of israeli bombardment into gaza itself. I think its artillery. We have heard fighter jets flying over this area from time to time tonight, followed by explosions as well but, down in gaza. But its this low rumble, even from 19 miles away, you can hear it emanating from that direction. So there is a lot of activity you can hear planes right now in the air, fighter jets in the air, very likely we may hear again, some distant explosions,. Because, that you probably cant hear it just on my mic. But it is a very fast moving situation, abby. In about an hour we will be at 72 hours since this Terror Attack began. It began 6 30 a. M. Saturday morning across multiple fronts, air, sea, land, as we all know by now. We are still very much in a situation, particularly along the gaza border, where Israeli Forces are still engaged, according to an idea of Spokes Person ive talked to just in the last hour, still in engaged with hamas gunman, who they believe have sort of been left behind, either intentionally or werent able to make their way back into gaza after the initial Terror Attack, after the initial incursions. So they are still, they say, engaging. They are also still multiple attempts, according to the idf, of gunman from hamas attempting to get through breaches in the border. Israeli authorities are moving to patch up and have been continually moving to patch up and bolster the areas that were breached. As you know, there were multiple fronts breached across the border. But there are still some areas of concern. So its still a very fluid situation, a very kinetic situation. Obviously, the bombardments that weve seen by artillery, and also fighter jets, of gaza but has been relentless and by comparison to other times we have seen but israel and gaza extending rockets, an overwhelming amount of firepower directed toward gaza. Rockets have continued be fight from gaza as well into israel. So this is still a very fast moving situation. Its not very clear. We talked about Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, a lot of people expected that maybe because he was making announcement today, he might be launching, he might be the beginning of a Ground Incursion. He did not. He did not go to any kind of specifics like that. It does not mean one is not being planned, by certainly not telegraphing that at this stage. So its an clear, you know, israel has said they want a complete siege of gaza, no food, no water going in, no electricity but. And that they can do. The question is to really eliminate the military capabilities of hamas, one can do a lot of damage by air to infrastructure but. We have seen plenty of times when there have been heavy bombardments of gaza over the last many years. And hamas remains. But they really are going to try and completely degrade and eliminate their military capabilities, it is hard to see how that can happen without some sort of Ground Incursion. But obviously as we know, the cost of, that the potential cost in human life, is huge. It will be, it seems, no matter, what a tremendous cost on all sides of this conflict. One of the aspects of this, there is one name that is degrading hamas, eliminating hamas even. But the other is what happens to all these hostages . The numbers, over 100 according to an israeli official just in the last hour. Thats a significant number of people who are unaccounted for. And they are, as far as we know, potentially in gaza. What are you learning about how that is affecting the plans Going Forward for but with parts of this mission that the Israeli Defense forces now have but . Listen, its something the Israeli Military has to take into consideration. They you know, ive spoke to idea spoke people about it. They dont go into details. Obviously, they would like to rescue as many people as possible. But this is not new. They have seen this done before. We have seen multi year negotiations to get the log shot lead back. That took many years, in exchange for him, an israeli soldier, for i think more than 1000 palestinians in prisons in israel. So the price of this can be high. Hamas has said that they are not going to be negotiating anything about hostages in till the fighting is done, until a Military Activity by israel has ceased. But time for negotiations will be later down the road. But it is an impossible situation. You cannot have a Ground Incursion into, as you know, hamas has already said they will start executing hostages and videotape that, put it out online, if israel attacks without warning specific targets. So its something israel has to take into account. But its an impossible situation, trying to save all those peoples lives, and also at the same time, having Military Incursion into gaza. Yeah. You also spoke with a woman who was nearly one of these hostages. She was kidnapped, but later released by the terrorists. What did she tell you about that harrowing experience . Yeah, its really extraordinary. She was, she was taken. She was hiding in a closet. One of her neighbors was hiding with her. The neighbor was shot to death in the closet. They removed her from the closet. They handed her two children, one, i believe, was four years old, the other was 4. 5 months old. Not her children, children from her neighbor, a woman, audi, a friend of hers. The children were traumatized, obviously, not even crime, just so traumatized they were silent and stunned. She held these children. These gunmen took her house to house trying told or what to say to other families who are hiding in their homes, trying to get them to come out of their homes so they can either kidnap them as well or shoot them, we dont know. Few of the families would actually come out, despite her pleas at the hands of these hamas gunman. They then began to bring her into gaza, walker into gaza carrying these small children. And then for reasons she still doesnt quite know, they let her go, and they let her leave with the children. The childrens mother is still missing, whereabouts unknown, dont know if shes dead, dont know if she has been held hostage. The children are safe now with their father. Heres some of what she had to say. It just moved me from one house to the other, and then a certain point, they took us to the fans, they created a hole in the fence. We started walking to gaza. More terrorists came with us, and i was with the boys. Yeah, was on the shoulders of one of the tears, and i was carrying the other boy. And we just walked, they kept saying quick, quick, and they shouted. And i just cried at the whole situation, the broke down and and was on me and just fell asleep. I think it was just a survival mode, as a baby. Avital alajem, he is obviously traumatized herself by all of this, still trying to figure out what the next steps are, as are so many people here. Theres not anybody in this country who does not know somebody who is being held hostage or who is missing or who has died or is now joining the fight. It is, again, we are coming on 72 hours since this Terror Attack began, and the ripple effects of it are just widening out by the hour. Yeah, and the victims, so small in the case of those just a few months old children and the elderly as well. Anderson, thank you very much for being with us and stay safe there. I want to go now to the maps with cnn chief National Correspondent Alex Marquardt are. Hes over here at the magic wall when the. So alex, talk to me about where things stand. We are just talking to anderson about the constant bombardment by the air into gaza, and then from gaza. What are we seeing on the ground as this war now is underway . Well what we are starting to see really now, abby, is that fierce response that Prime Minister netanyahu promised with major questions what happens next. This up here is the northern border of israel would lebanon, major questions right now about whether hezbollah, another militant group like hamas that is also backed by iran, whether they get involved in this fight and open up a second front in this war. We saw missiles being fired by hezbollah into israel today after israel carried out an airstrike and killed a small number of hezbollah fighters. But the vast majority of what were seeing is happening down here around gaza in central israel. That had been attacked by hamas gunman. This is the gaza strip, it is controlled on three sides by israel. There is a naval blockade along the water, but there are two sides that are covered with fences and walls and it is through those fences that those hamas attackers were able to get out and kill so many people. Again, the israelis are saying that these southern communities are safe. We are starting to see, we have been seeing hundreds and hundreds of airstrikes all along the gov strip as you noted. The death toll has been growing some 900 israelis killed so far, almost 700 palestinians in the gaza strip. So, this is really, first of all, just to point out here the fronts in this attack over the weekend is really extraordinary and unprecedented. Its why the reasons why this is a receiving such a strong response from israel. We have seen some attacks now inside of gaza, this is a very tiny swath of land, but a couple of million people, what are we seeing there . Well, this is one of the most densely populated places on earth. The big question now is whether the air strikes eventually are evolved into a Ground Incursion. We will certainly continue to see more airstrikes. Our reporting teams of told us that they have seen a buildup of israeli troops, of tanks, of armored personnel carriers, of long range artillery around gaza. The israelis could very, very quickly build up that fourth. Theyve drafted some 300,000 reservists into duty. This is why a Ground Incursion and continued airstrikes could be so deadly, because this is so incredibly dense. I have been in gaza during the wars in 2012 and 2014. There are, it is a maze of roads, refugee camps, of highrises, people really packed together. They have some 2 million palestinians living here, around half of them are children. In just 140 square miles. So, civilians will almost certainly be killed as this Israeli Offensive continues and hamas has now warned that, if civilians are killed, if there is no israeli warning, that they will then execute some of the dozens of hostages we know they have on camera and then broadcast that. A really chilling message. Israel has been warning before these attacks. What israel says they do are essentially two different things. When they carry out these airstrikes, and this is some video of some of the hundreds of airstrikes that have been taking place all across gaza. They do two things. One is called a roof knock, where they send in what is essentially a small missile that will warn the residents of that building to get out. The second thing is, israelis have a lot of the Phone Numbers of these palestinian residents. They will actually call them, either speak to them or theres a message that plays in arabic saying you have a few minutes to get out of the house, you need to evacuate now. Israel is saying that that is what they are doing, hamas is claiming that those messages arent getting through and that israel is killing civilians. There was also an attack, and Israeli Attack on a mosque in the last day or so. Tell us about what we know about that. There have been several and i want to highlight what were looking at here as the refugee in the northwestern part of the gaza strip. Are we have some remarkable befores and afters. This is the alsissi mosque in that camp. You can now see that it is now just a crater. Now there is the el gharbi mosque, also in this refugee camp. This is a drone image that was taken. That is the before of a satellite image, now obviously completely in ruin, completely destroyed. And this is the third mosque, the yaseen mosque in the same refugee camp. Why is israel targeting mosques . Well, they claim, as they have in the past conflicts, that hamas is using civilian infrastructure whether be residential buildings or even mosques, their holiest places, to hide their forces, but mainly their weapons. Of course, we have seen thousands of missiles being fired into israel. So, israel is saying that these mosques in gaza are legitimate targets. Alex marquardt thanks for all that, we appreciate it. Or watching the skies in the region tonight as the strikes to continue, plus the President Biden is now set to speak tomorrow on this unfolding war in israel. Here with the white house says about the possibility of Boots On The Ground from the United States in the region. And i will speak with a father whose daughter is now missing after going to that Music Festival. Where so many israelis were kidnapped or killed or barely escaped. I lied under the tank because they surrounded us from every direction. As the skies continue to light up over gaza as israel launches retaliatory strikes, tonight we are learning chilling new details about what happened when hamas attacked that Music Festival, including how they threw Grenade Bombs into shelters and shot into passing cars. Cnns Nick Robertson is covering all of that and more and he joins me now. Nick, what are you seeing tonight . Abby, All Through The Night we have been hearing the sound of the fighter jets flying on their way to gaza. The sound of impacts. There was a moment in the night for, maybe a couple of hours, where those impacts sort of eased off but then they picked up again. We were able to see huge flashes on the sky from gaza, we were literally a couple of miles, there goes the fighter jets again a couple of miles from the border. You can see the huge flashes eliminating the skyline. You can hear the huge detonation, some of them really heavy and dense. Those Artillery Fire as well. But i think the other big takeaway that we have seen throughout the day today is the increasingly organized movement of large units of troops and armored fighting vehicles. Theyre howitzers, in some cases mechanized howitzers. They looked like tanks, but their Artillery Guns are huge and can far accurately over very long distance. I think the take away from seeing that is, all of these groups and units of troops moving in there, they have got a lot of supplies with them and it is really indicative of the fact that theyre moving into positions where they are ready to for sometime. Additionally security along that hamas border to make sure there can be no more infiltration. I think we are still some ways away from, perhaps, a Ground Incursion. And, perhaps the lasting takeaway that i take away from today, is the brutality of the execution of those 260 young Music Festival goers that hamas attacked on that first night in the early hours of the morning. And we can see where a group of those party goers were literally chased into a Concrete Shelter and, as they were in their, gunned down, perhaps a grenade thrown in as well. Just a horrible scene and when you step into that and you look at it and you see the holes in the concrete and the blood on the ceilings and the blood on the walls, the smell, the blood on the floor, you just understand this cold, callous, brutality that was intent on killing. That put terror into the hearts of those young people in the moments before they died. And those, i think, are the takeaways from today. That movement of troops and that brutality that executed so many young people. Abby . Nic robertson, thank you for that. Brutality is a word you will be hearing a lot tonight, i think. I want to bring in now around lippman, and i highly garofalo, and her sister was one of the many people who was at that Music Festival hand of gone missing since that horrific, horrific attack. Thank you both very much for joining us tonight. I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through. Could you please tell us, when was the last time you spoke with your daughter orilla and what did she say to you . That was saturday morning. She was speaking with me, her boyfriend, and with a place. She told us that they escaped and ran away with a car, but they were shot. She was always he died in their hands. They sent me a picture. She told us that she is missing us, she loves us, and we told her to run away and hide. They couldnt drive anymore, it was 360 degrees and landed back on the wheels. And then she told us that she is Hearing Fires and people coming and then at 8 34 we lost connection. We didnt receive any text messages. She is still missing. The strategy is that she came the day after to look for her, he found the car, he was looking for them, and informed his parents and now he is missing as well. Did i hear you say my daughter and sister and brother are missing together. And one was killed. Did i hear you say that he died in her arms . Can you tell me a little bit she sent me a picture, he was dead. She was holding him. It was very difficult to watch it and to see it. Since that moment go ahead. No girl should pass this experience we dont know if she is alive, if shes wounded, if shes hiding, or died, or in the border on the hamas and. We do not know. We tried to be strong, to survive, and are waiting to get official information of what happened to her. We want you to know that in israel, with a lot of disagreement between us, but now, and even if we do not trust our Prime Minister and our government, we are now all united. We trust the General Manager of the army to bring right to israel and to do the best to bring all children back. Can i ask you about your sister . Tell us about what she was like and what you want the world to know about her as you wait to hear word about her whereabouts tonight. Well, she was so cool. She is so cool. She has fine all the time, she was very bright, very smart. Always at parties and i just need to hold her. I really need to see her. I am searching and i talked to every connection that i have that are searching for her in the fields. It is filled with terrorists and its not safe, but they are going there. Im calling anyone that i can i went to places that i know there are more than 300 bodies and when i arrived there there were eight more trucks filled with bodies and i asked them, let me search for her because i am calling and asking people where is it my sister and nobody can give me answers. Nothing i do can help, all i do is just to search for her. She texted me, theyre shooting at us. I wake up from the sirens and i asked her where she is and this is her reply. She sent me the picture of shaw just filled with holes. And blood. I dont know how to bring her back. I dont know what to do. I feel so helpless. There is nobody that i can talk to because everywhere i go they block me. Literally blocking me to go inside, literally stopping me to search for my own sister. Okay, youre not going to do it it will take you days. Fine, i will go through the bodies because i know how to recognize her elbow. I dont need a dna test, i can see her. But they wont let me do it. I dont know what else i can do or what anybody can do, just find her. I keep calling her, maybe the line will work, maybe now. I dont know what to do. Nobody can and i cannot describe the pain i feel because i dont even want to connect to my own emotions because i know that i will fall apart. Its like a part of my own body is missing. I dont know where is my little sister. We all feel the pain that you are both experiencing right now and i am so sorry. If your daughter can hear you right now as we are speaking and this is broadcasting around the world, speak to her. What do you want to hear from you tonight . I would tell her to be strong, to wait. The war will take one day, ten days, 20, days it will be over. There will be negotiations and we will exchanged prisoners. So she has to be strong. I hope that the hamas talks will obey the rules and the prisoners. I hope that we can go back. You are both so strong yourselves and im sorry, once again, for this incredibly painful experience that you and your friends and loved ones are going through. Eran litman and yahali ricardo, thank you both very much. Thank you very much for having us. We are now monitoring the skies above israel and gaza city tonight where strikes are continuing to intensify. We will take you right back there, live. Plus, a Family Member says hamas murdered their grandmother. They posted that footage online and then burned down her home. We will speak live with her grandson, next. The power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. And thats a good thing . Great in my book who are you . No power . No problem. Introducing stormready wifi. Now you can stay reliably connected through Power Outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery backup to keep you online. Only from xfinity. Home of the xfinity 10g network. We are closely monitoring the skies above israel and gaza city tonight where retaliatory strikes are underway against a mosque. After that horrific attack in israel this weekend. We are also hearing the horrific stories of torture and murder by hamas and, among its victims, is levinson. Shes a mother of two daughters, a grandmother did nine. Murdered inside of her home. Hamas used her phone to take pictures of her lifeless body and post them on her facebook page. The horror left there for her family to discover. Here is what is left of her home, burned to the ground. Joining me now is Broz Grand Son youll have shimon, along with israeli filmmaker guy looked, even an oscar for the movie about golda, the fourth Prime Minister of israel. Particularly during the young cop or war. You have and guy, thank you for being here. Im so very sorry for what your family has lost in your amazing grandmother. Can you tell us more about what you believe happened to her when hamas attacked . So, from my understanding, because i have seen everything and we were messaging within the group chats as the missile started to make sure everyone is all right, that she wasnt a shelter. And biles received communication on my mom with her before the attack happened. She was actually concerned about us and about the rest of the familys safety during the missiles. About ten minutes after that conversation ended my sister commented on our group chat that there is a weird videos on my grandmas facebook and then that is when we all discovered it. Right after the missiles started the terrorists and through the fence, as my grandmothers house is less than a kilometer away from the strip. I would assume that she was in contact and then came into the her house, shut it down, took her phone, and then posted her dying video on facebook. That is just an absolute horrific piece of information that you just shared with us. We are looking right now at pictures of your grandmothers home. You are just there in israel a few weeks ago and you just mentioned that this place that she lived in is so close to the gaza strip. What was like to visit her there and did you ever get the sense that she was concerned about her safety in that proximity to the gaza strip . As you said, i was there two weeks ago ferocious anna. It felt fine, it felt safe. We knew that there was tension, we heard back then that there is maybe tension arising in the gaza strip, but even throughout these more tense situations where there is full on missile attacks on the rest of israel, she was always in high spirits, she was super happy, super confident. I called her every time and she would be like, hey, dont worry, im in a shelter, i am fine. Nothing will happen. Just make sure that you are okay, that youre all good. Those were also her last messages. She was always an optimistic person, she really loved her community and besides what just happened to her, everything that community has gone through, the murder of the families at their homes. Babies, the kidnapping of 70, 80yearold women who just had surgeries and stuff like that. Those are all personal stories that i know for my grandmothers neighbors. And i cannot imagine how those families feel right now with the uncertainty of their Family Members and where they are as your previous guests had spoken about. Guy, yoavs families when the many that youve spoken to since this attack and i was just on your Social Media Page and its dedicated to these victims, to the missing, to their families. What are you hearing about your family and about other families that you are in touch with and what they are experiencing tonight . My family is safe right now, but, you know, i am just getting all of those people from israel writing me. Please post this, post that, post about my sister, my father, my grandmother is missing. My little sister, my baby, horrific stories from this massacre. From the party, from the caboose is, from everywhere. And i decided to dedicate myself so that the world can hear and know what is going on. This is not freedom fighter, it is not about liberation, its not about the Palestinian People these are monsters, this is like a second all the cost and it is why everyone in israel is calling it a second holocaust because that is what is happening right now. They are slaughtering our families, our women, our babies, kidnapped little kids. You heard it from everywhere. But i want to have my social media everywhere here in the states, in the world so people can hear about that. That is my goal. Yoav shimoni and guy nattiv, thank you very much. And yoav, thank you very much for being with us tonight and im sorry once again for your loss. We will be back in a moment. Thank you for letting me share my story. Well be back in a moment. Tonight, israel remains under attack as the world witnesses the terror unfolding. It is also watching for signs that this conflict could ignite for the hostilities across the broader region. In an extraordinary show of solidarity, President Biden along with the leaders of france, germany, italy, and the uk released a joint statement condemning hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism all so tonight the Biden Ministration told cnn that theres no plans right now to put u. S. Boots on the ground. But, it is sending a show of force, deploying the navys most advanced Aircraft Carrier to the eastern mediterranean. In a message to any groups considering fanning the flames of a broader regional conflict. With me now is morgan ortegas, the state Department Spokesperson and also gone either former intelligence officer. Thank you for joining us on a historic week here for the world. Morgan, this concern about a broader conflict is very real, we have already seen some movement from house blah in response to israelis limited strikes. How big of a concern should that be right now for the world . Listen, it has got to be in the forefront of ruins minds. You obviously have in the south of gaza where israel is going into started today, their response to hamas and their attempt to root the Terrorist Threat out of gaza. Of course, in the north, when you look at has blah and lebanon, this is sort of what iran does in the region. You know, iran doesnt like to directly confront. They like to use various shia proxy groups. Whether it is above in lebanon, in iraq, in the last administration that were attacking our embassy. They like to do this for the houthis in yemen. They like to find, train, and equip terror groups to spread their influence and ideology the. One thing all these countries have been have in common that are under iranian influence, theyre almost failed states. These are not the crown jewels anymore of the middle east. Lebanon, syria, places that used to be where you wanted to go and travel to in the middle east, sadly, under iranian influence we are just seen them decay in terms of Civil Society and government infrastructure. Clause, understand when we talk about husband and what it would mean if they actually got more actively engaged. My understanding is that there firepower is so many that more times of a mauve, what would that mean for the United States in terms of how it might force the guesses hand in this conflict . It makes the whole situation much more dangerous. So, iran to historically exercise much more significant control and influence with possibility. We have showed that caused law is very capable. Theyve done a lot of damage to Israeli Armored personnel carriers, are the tanks, that kind of thing. Theres been a real tactical problem in the past, so if they were to get formerly involved it means to. Things one, a more dangerous enemy. And to, a much more significant risk of a expansion of the conflict through the region because what tehran is likely to intend to do, they are going to be stoking possibility into that kind of posturing because what they want to do is provoke a wider conflict that they can ultimately bring the United States into the conflict as well. Morgan, as we speak there, there is no u. S. Speaker of the house. There is a rift in the Republican Party over funding ukraine, and as of todays some analysts raising the possibility that it is in russias interest for this conflict take a cough in the middle east, it will strain u. S. Resources. Where do you think this all goes . First of all, will republicans need to get their act together sooner, and you think you can count on this congress and to properly find both conflicts . These are all very far questions i think that weve seen a number of republicans, especially those in the senate, call on republicans the house to make a decision decide whos gonna be speaker. Theres also a number of corporations that are up in the senate, including the ambassador to israel and other diplomatic positions around the world. I know its very frustrating, the last administration to not ambassadors or our secretaries confirmed. I think that needs to stop on both sides of the aisle in congress and get these people through these key positions for the president. As it relates to where we are headed in this congress, in terms of funding and payment, historically the United States congress has funded israels security needs, Security Assistance on bipartisan levels. In fact, when president hurts gawk was here in washington a few months ago i went to the congress and one of the things that i thought was so encouraging was that you saw republicans and democrats, who are not agreeing on anything lately, standing up and giving multiple Standing Ovations to president herzog, the president of israel. So i am hopeful that there is going to be support for israel. But, we also have to get our own emissions going in the United States. You know, we need to reintegrate our factories here, our production lines, we need to get americans doing this. And we are unprepared. Claude, President Biden speaks tomorrow. Quickly, what did he say . I think what youre gonna hear the president say is that youll reiterate support for israel. You may hear an outline of some of the specific support that will be in terms of munitions and other arms, certainly reconnaissance capabilities. But hes also going to sound a cautious note and try not to unnecessarily inflame the situation. That is a tough calculus, but i think that is the thing that hes going to be trying to land the plane on tomorrow. Yeah, it landing the plane is a great analogy for all of this. Klon and morgan, thank you both very much. Standby, we are seeing lights over the sky in gaza as israel carries out more retaliatory strikes. This is cnn special live coverage. Disturbing new details about israeli Music Festival that was targeted by hamas on saturday. There is new dashcam video that reveals that the militants shot Concert Goers At Point Blank Range and then blew to their belongings. As of tonight, at least 260 bodies have been found at that site and my next guest had multiple friends at the rave and was supposed to be there himself. Isaac thomas joins me now. Isaac, incredibly, you have friends who did make it out. Tell us about how they managed to survive. Well, when people just started realizing that there was a danger over there, they started seeing rockets, people started running everywhere. Me personally ive been going to Music Festivals for many years, ive danced together with palestinians, with lebanese in Music Festivals throughout the world. What happened over here is a massacre on a global level that was carried out by a Terrorist Group. People need to realize, these are not Freedom Fighters that are fighting for something bigger. These are Terrorist Groups that attacked civilians, attacked people on their highest point of their life, dancing to music. This can happen anywhere in the world. People have no idea, people never imagined that such a thing is impossible. People started running everywhere, there was a huge chaos. I know people that got out, i know people that no one has heard from them yet. The stories that come out of there are absolutely horrifying. The things that the survivors saw are saying is that they will never forget for their entire lives. Their world needs to see this, this is not i am for peace, for love, for many aspects of the palestinians im all for, but this is not a free palestine situation. This is a Terrorist Group that is run by iran and they are taking the Palestinian People hostage because their retaliation is going to be something that we have not seen before. The hamas is taking the Palestinian People hostage. Their leaders are not even in gaza, they are in five star hotels, flying private jets in qatar. I mean, these people have nothing to do with trying to free palestine. They just carried out one of the biggest massacres since the holocaust and people need to realize. People are protesting on the streets of the u. S. , pro hamas. People are brainwashed that hamas has anything to do with free palestine. This is something that the world has never marched to the streets of the u. S. , claiming that i. S. I. S. Were Freedom Fighters of iraq. No, the world recognized that i. S. I. S. Is a global problem and the world needs to wake up. This Music Festival had americans, had british, i mean
