Welcome to the special two hour edition of one nation, thanks for being here recovering the war in israel, i am brian kilmeade. Fox news alert, his risk Ground Invasion delayed until next week due to Severe Weather, three senior it was really officials who spoke to the New York Times. Iran threatening to intervene if israel goes through with a Ground Attack which they are going to. We know of 29 americans sadly have died in the conflict so far from 15 unaccounted for. It is really Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visiting soldiers with bullet proof vest. Mass exodus Hundreds Of Thousands trying to evacuate gaza ahead of israels expected Ground Invasion causing traffic jams as you can understand. Some are real by forces. Israeli troops lebanese as well as militant are exchanging fire in the north raising fears the conflict could ignite a multi front work but not yet. For the latest, luca live on the ground along the israeli quarterly greg, give us your sense of whats happening. We are here in Northern Israel now. And hezbollah, are really in Fact Militant Group we are keeping an eye on that but they were going to go big here if israel goes even bigger. There are signs of having right now. The New York Times is reporting according to three sources i think the important thing about the article is the Ground Invasion is Going Forward. There seems to be a delay, we know Weather Forecast here clouds in the next couple days. That could be what thats all about but its Going Forward, we heard in a statement earlier saturday the Idf Israeli Defense force is increasing operational readiness and what they call the next stage of the war is the most the current, he would kill 1300. The number now is up to 29 americans 150 hostages held inside gaza and leave now 15 americans are unaccounted for you like to the situation on the ground in gaza is getting pretty desperate. Hundreds of thousands fleeing for the northern side of gaza strip down to the south. Israel basically told gaza to do that, there was hesitation. Hamas pulled back but they are Going Forward with that. The devastation by 2300 palestinians killed in the gaza strip they are trapped inside because the exit way to egypt is still closed and that means israel palestinian americans and others, citizens and size of gaza strip are caught as well. For the situation here, it is interesting and hot. Hezbollah has been eating all week along the border and today there was hezbollah infiltrator from lebanon snapped by israeli forces. There was an exchange of shell fire between has the law and Israeli Military today and we heard a few hours back, two big explosions, it turns out it was a hezbollah rocket from syria israeli forces, air force hitting targets in syria so there is action here but is gaza and when it will happen, it looks like it is happening. Include but the initial reports delayed or without the faith, to think the weather is not good enough and you go anyway. Appreciate it. Prime minister netanyahu found today to dismantle hamas but total elimination really possible . Former Prime Minister barack has this to say. Will exactly determined to make sure thomas will be paralyzed and personal capabilities will be. We are determined to make sure this can never happen and, is a Military Terrorist Organization and it will be totally paralyzed. He was also a war hero. Joining me to discuss, tim kennedy, former army special operator, doing great work right now. And on organization working tirelessly to get americans out of israel after doing the lords work in afghanistan. We understand there is some good news, israel was able to penetrate into gaza with more units and they killed the hamas commander who spearheaded this act so what does it tell you the major incursion as it happened . It while right now, this fight is the worst fighting you can possibly have, street to street, door to door, this type of insurgency in an urban area is the last thing you want to do as an operator. There could be boobytraps, Chemical Warfare and you are racing against the clock to save hostages. Its a nightmare situation. I understand when it comes to weapons we found north korean weapons there, it looks like our weapons are being used against us, is that the report youre getting . Weve seen photos and a variety of ak47s from ukraine, russia area and it looks like their weapons from the taliban present from afghanistan so is a wellequipped, welltrained now battle hard force, insurgency that has momentum on their side. The weapons and tactics they are using our unfortunately very worldclass. Do you think they are there, doing the best they can to get out . Do you think they want to fight . They love fight they get to choose when they get to ambush and their former warfare, auto if they want to square off, do you . What they do want is propaganda, civilians to die. They want as much media as they can get on this, they want hezbollah and isis and al qaeda, the taliban and all of the neighboring states to not just support them financially which most of them are, more informally, join in the cause of israel in the face of the pl planet. Ive seen video today of the hostages, they show, spiders playing with what looks to be nine months old, three years old as if they are taking care of them with their mask on, is that the propaganda you are talking about . Does it give you hope they are alive . It gives me a little bit of help they are alive but seeing the violence they did to israelis, jews and cushions and americans and their attack, they burned babies, beheaded 80s and killed babies in their cr cribs, this is evil, a type of evil we havent seen in modern warfare in my lifetime, 20 years of war, iraq and afghanistan, africa and now Eastern Europe and ukraine, ive never seen anything like this, this was something completely different, extraordinarily evil and is not just the videos and hostages, or when israel goes into gaza, every casualty and there will be some, they are there are hitting their positions with civilians firing weapons and storing weapons and barricading the weapons with civilians, thats the propaganda they want. They want civilians to die so they can use that as propaganda continues to perpetuate the cycle of violence, this is hamas perpetuating this cycle. Some of the video we see, not only incursion itself but the training. They were doing trainings just miles from that fence they busted through the years so israelis allow it to happen and the training produced that mission last saturday. Naked. Meanwhile, the mission to rescue israeli civilians well underway as the idea of forces perform rates in the gaza strip and officials confirming one israelis civilians are held captive and we dont have an exact number as the State Department Unaccounted Americans at 15. Listen to one Family Member of the kidnapped and hear what they have to say. They are just human beings who live on Peaceful Community the south of israel, they want peace. They dont want this anymore either, they just want to come home. Our babies are there, they dont deserve this. Former Policy Advisor for the bush administration, author of the upcoming book, Genius Of Israel coming out next month. Hes not contacting Family Members fighting in a row, they will probably appear in america, is our hope on the Hostage Front . We have to keep hope but i am skeptical for a variety of reasons. First, i think hamas is stranded to get these hostages and spread them out. Look at israels history of Training Prisoners from israeli prisoners for hostages in 2011 to get one soldier back, israel portrayed about 1100 prisoners to the Palestinians Hamas so i think the help was getting a lot of hostages they can prevent israel from invading, israel has to invade and wipe out hamas in response to this work they started and i think the prisoners and hostages are spread out all over and im not sure hamas is in control, i spoke to one analyst today on the ground, very wired and with Security Services and has a network in the palestinian communities and he said hamas took a bunch of hostages and theres a bunch of mobs that came in, not organized part of the hamas terrorist unit, who were those people and where did they put them . There were other Terrorist Cells like custom and they had hostages, its hard to communicate with these various groups and lone wolves who have these hostages. How you feel about the u. S. Telling netanyahu weight . Give them time to get civilians out, dont invade get . Israelis want nothing more than to get Palestinian Civilians out of the way. They been putting up declarations, get them out of the way. 500,000 palestinians have already moved from Northern Gaza was likely to be 7000. Israel is hoping for more but there are images now of hamas walking Palestinian Civilians from getting from Northern Gaza 27000. They want visiting population concentrating where the fighting is, Human Shields taking their own children and women putting them next to offensive weapons in the hope people will get killed so of flows and wait to help with that. Does egypt agree to open up the gate . They have not, there should be pressure on egypt to allow refugees in order to tent cities or refugee camp and secondary blanket is traveling all over the region. These arab countries should be putting pressure working with each of to absorb palestinians. Qatar, this video of the leader of hamas meeting with the Foreign Minister of iran today and dont this video of them cheering the attack allowed to live in . Their housing hamas headquarters . Is obligated and even worse is in the visit to qatar, the Foreign Minister of iran put ou here is video right now. They put out a dictate saying if israel escalates, if israel escalates, is escalate but they say to pull back, we wont escalate which is the most absurd thing in the world because this war started because of hamas financed by iran two were made to some degree by iran and the idea that writer is offering a bridge is crazy. The terrorist organization is on israels border, wreaking havoc inside israel, the biggest slaughter of jews in a single day since the holocaust. Israel is clear, they will have no discussion, no diplomas, no discussion or deescalation until hamas leadership and military capabilities are wiped out. Would the future breaks and you have gaza no longer in, hans, how do you keep them out . You take it back . Has not been thought about . Its happening so quickly, i do not think things have thought through once a month is out. Biden had a good speech last week, he kept referring to hamas as isis, control of territory and correct in the u. S. Mission over the course of three administrations, obama, trump and biden was to wipe out isis, not worry about yes, they will evacuate and feel the vacuum later but this is a barbaric deadly force, we cant wait to think about what happens after wanting them out is the same standard. The u. S. Government is applying the same standard. When will the incursion start . Will discuss all that. Meeting with qatar, was he tough enough . Will stay on it, thanks so much. Couldnt be any more timely. Eighteen minutes after the hour, the conflict between israel and hamas along the gaza border is in danger of becoming multiframe more i referred to so we asked david bolivia to weigh in, he knows everything about house to house fighting. Welcome back, glad youre here. Heres the latest, israels Ground Patient delayed until next week. I got some overcast, Severe Weather they say, three seniors israeli officials who spoke to the New York Times but what it does happen, preparing wide offensive including attack from air, sea and land. The next steps will not be easy even after everyone exactly gaza but wasnt a terrorist. Who better to explain the invasion it will go, what it will look like. The only living that are of the war, the iranian border, the author of remember the ramrod and army brotherhood war and peace and offer of house to house seller, david bellavia. Lets look, this is the map, you have a monitor over here. This is essentially as we try to sketch this out, we under understand okay, its not popping up yet. There we go. This is i understand, roughly where the troops are, right . They are courting that area off. You want to make sure only civilians are getting out but you dont want any bad guys coming back in. You dont want munitions, people moving around and thats important, flock the area down and get ready, those are prebiotic positions so you can slice off gaza strip, the Northern Section is where it appears the idea for a target. We are trying to say civilians come down here and get out. I found out from my other contact from unnamed at the moment, egypt has not agreed to set up military effortless tent city and its close. You see a bunch of people getting up over here but this is where most of the terrorists are, where gaza city is so thats what you are looking at. If people want to know what it looks like in the urban environment, lets check this out. This is an overhead shot. You fought house to house in falluja. What can you tell people what its Like Fighting when these of the open roads and these are side roads through here, how do you fight here . It is so competent and we are looking at that image right now, lets say a third of the buildings are gone. Thirty years ago black hawk down and 97 of the casualties were getting to the objectives inside the buildings. You think of all the rubble, rebar inside of concrete, youve got wires, dish network, satellite tv, all of us case for internet, those things get tied up your legs. Youre getting cut open trying to get through to where you need to go get everything in the military and army we call danger areas, obviously they are dangerous, if you want to avoid them. How do you avoid something when populations are no longer going out . Where can you get real estate in gaza . You are going to build up and everything in cities, the more we will fight and urban areas, the combat multiplier. In an open fight, the defendant always has the advantage hamas and keep the Civilian Population there, thats to their advantage. The gaza city as a two layer sick take. The bad guys live underneath. Thats where the real danger comes from of the subterranean tunnel fight. 300 square miles of tunnels, we overestimated bin laden did and that is was with you, the tunnels to deal with, i hear theres a major City Underneath and they will barricade themselves in the courage it will take to go in is unbelievable as we move forward, what is the tunnel look like . This is roughly how you enter and this is where you are going to go, you have no idea what you will see in a building let alone going beneath the buildings, you could clear a building and they could just come up, bubble up and take the Building Back again. Thats why in my view, israelis were hesitant to go in there in the past. When youre getting shot at, you want cover obviously. You want to protect yourself from bullets coming at you. You think of a hallway in an urban environment inside a building, the hallways, theres nowhere to go. What is a glorified hallway so its going to come down to firepower and buyer superiority and the problem we seen in mariupol, we saw this in world war ii, once you in confined space, it throws everything out the window. Its all about your will, leadership and ballistics but if you throw civilians in the system, its chaos and its what hamas wants. Chaos. I want to position right now, the focus is right here. Go get them in gaza but if lebanon has left decides to get in, here comes the fight, spread them out again. If i read says ive seen enough, im going to attack, there comes the fight again. If you see syria right here ground there and we have 10000 troops, if they start showing, that will be the challenge israelis have to be prepared for. Quick question, are they . If you are hezbollah, you claim 100,000 troops, guide ammunition, different than rockets fired from hamas, they will walk you down. This is we talk about two state solution, civilized people can have discourse about what the future of israel is. Theres no discussion like that in hezbollah, iran or hamas. This is destruction of people, totally. If has a lot has the opportunity, this is what they are on the earth to do, create chaos and destroy israeli state, they will take that shot. If they all hit israel, do we get from the sea because we have Battle Groups now there in the golf . It will be crazy times, we will call you again. Thank you for quality time from buffalo, appreciate it. Thank you. Still to come, gop president ial hopeful, nikki haley sounds off on israels biggest until failure in thestme nations history. Keep it right here. Stunning new information about the scale of hamas attack on israel, forces recovering after the showing the terror group had a trove of detailed maps and documents of the military bases, kindergarten, daycare, all of which they plan attack. The New York Times reporting iran and hezbollah had a hand in helping carry out the assault, they worked on it together for years. The Biden Administration claims military evidence linking the two, i dont know why. My next Guest Morning for far too long, flashback 2018. They have reported hamas maps and social media show the vast roads to reach israeli communities in Case Demonstrators make it through security fence. They have reported on hamas messages over loudspeakers, that urged demonstrators to burge through the fence, falsely claiming Israeli Soldiers were clean when in fact, they were not. The same loudspeakers are used by hamas to urged the crowds to quote, get closer, get closer to the security fence. During us right now to expand on that because it actually happened, former u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations 2024 gop president nikki haley. Did you foresee that then what happened now then . It was the warning we were trying to get, we knew they were there, we knew they planned if they crossed the fence, what they were going to do and how many people they would kill, how quickly they could get to the communities and we knew the maps were there so the Biggest Issue was acknowledge what hamas wants to do so in the general assembly, all 193 countries, who were the first one to say lets define hamas as a terrorist organization and believe it or not i was able to the majority of countries to acknowledge hamas was a terrorist organization in the end of the un changed the rules and said no, we need two thirds vote. Weve been talking about this for years and what we said it is not just hamas, it has block, and guess what, whos behind all of it . I run. This is why it was a problem when obama gave the money in the first place. This is why it was a problem when biden felt all over himself to get back into the iran deal. This is a problem when biden loosened nations, this is why its a problem when he made the house to deal with 6 billion because we knew if the money flowed, those maps are going to come to life because if they had money, they would use it to do terror. Ive been in those tunnels, i did have seen how sophisticated they are, they are massive all Underneath Gaza and this is going to get messy because when they move in, those tunnels underneath that Carry Ammunition and equipment and hostages and all of that, they are going to have to go through schools and hospitals to get to the tunnels. Thats the terrible part. We need to pray for our brothers and sisters in israel because its going to be tough. You see the lunatics protesting not only in big cities but the uk, spain and coming out and going or hamas whose goal is to kill as many people as possible and capture as many hostages as they can grab. The other thing to bring up is about how it relates to the southern border, if you see the border was a problem for the average american for democrats, mayors and governors, democratic mayors and governors but now you factor in terror and al qaeda calling for attacks on us, how does that change the border issue . What were they saying when they were dragging bodies through the streets . What were they saying after they tortured those people in israel . Death to israel, death to america. Joe biden is acting like its september 10, thats the problem. Its not september 10 and we dont need to know again what it felt like september 12. I am incredibly worried about everyone crossing the border because we know 1000 at least from lebanon, yemen, iran, that doesnt count from afghanistan, all it takes is one. All it takes is one for us to see americans die. Let this be a lesson, close the border now and quit trying to play footsie with iran. Its never going to work. You have a bunch of titles but also we know the head of hamas, its in qatar, why dont we demand extradition . Why are we allowing this . We watched Iranian Foreign minister arrived and dont talk today. Where was the Foreign Minister before . The Foreign Minister was in lebanon meaning has block. Today he is in qatar eating with hamas, what does that tell you . Everything you need to know yet blinking and biden refused to acknowledge they have anything to do with this . They is a reason, they funded every bit of it. We have to wake up, weve got to realize our job is to protect americans, we got to protect americans. We cant if you got an administration to naive to see the dangers of a run. Headtohead with President Biden, lost to him since august and latest poll that came out has you up by four but you are trailing donald trump by it looks like 49, how do you reconcile the two . We are second in iowa and new hampshire, second in south carolina. We are going to keep on moving. Americans get that they need a new generational Conservative Leader because they dont want a president kamala harris. They know we have to win a general election, they are not going to risk it. For all the reasons we are seeing now, we are seeing all of this democrats chaos play around us. You dont fix democrat chaos with republican chaos. He fixed it with strength and stability and thats what im going to bring to america and how we went. If you have time, please fix the house, they need a speaker. Appreciate the time tonight, a crucial time in our history and israel history. Thank you. Coming up, we dive deep into the history of hamas and hatred against israel, where did it start . U. S. College students are embracing the violent radicalism we have seen it take place this past week. Why is that . Next only on one nation.

Our next guest working to find peace in the middle east for over 40 years going back to the Reagan Administration spending more than 12 years shaving u. S. Involvement in the middle east process dealing directly with the partisan negotiations, the west point person on the Peace Process when there was one and the george h. W. Bush, and clinton administrations. He is bipartisan and instrumental in assisting israelis and palestinians to reach the 1995 Interim Agreement and successfully broke the 1997 of court and facilitated 1994 is really peace treaty, hes been all over this and served as Special Assistant to president obama and National Security Council Senior director for the central region. Few people i could talk to knowledgeable in the region than dennis ross. Great to see you, all those talks, accomplishments was a Peace Process many say what about the Peace Process, we wouldnt have hamas incursion if there was one. Good to be with you and one thing i like to say, when we were making Real Progress in the 90s, every time we seem to get close to a major achievement, who would set off a suicide bomb and carry out Terrorist Attacks . Hamas. Hamas axmen things peace might be possible. It has reductionist ideology, israel should not exist according to ideology so the biggest threat to hamas is when it looks like you will make progress in peace. Why did they act now . Looks like there might be breakthrough between saudi arabia and israel. You have custodian of the two most important sunni arab leader, sunni makes up 85 of all muslims about to make peace with the nationstate of the jewish people and you begin to take the religious element out of the conflict. Its a major threat to hamas and one reason we saw the move now. The idea if we just get close to peace we have no problems, you have to remove hamas if you achieve peace. Your introduction was about peace and talks, would you say israel has no choice but to take the fight to hamas right now . Not only correct, when i say fundamentally, coming out of this and must be unmistakably clear hamas severed decisive defeat. It would be best if at all possible to remove hamas or at least basically displace hamas from gaza but you have kat something replace it. At minimum they have to be defeated decisively. If hamas creates the impression somehow they one, this ideology of rejection will gain a huge boost in the region rather than being able to move toward peace and stability, you have the opposite, you empower the access of resistance, but irradiance all exit, i call it the axes of failed states. They said its on ice but between peace and approximate with israel saudi arabia. The Secretary Of State went to qatar and give them a message and potter says hope you get the hostages out but is the same qatari government that welcomes the leadership of hamas to live lives of luxury who allowed the Foreign Minister meet with the officials with hamas. Theres a huge problem if we dont call them out and take them out, isnt there . As long as qatar, qatar is a non nato ally and has that status non nato ally should not be hosting external theaters of hamas who are justifying the indefensible. Incomprehensible. We just saw them demonstrate hamas is like isis. We have the secretary of defense who fought crisis saying what he saw when he went to israel was forced man the things isis did so qatar has to decide, they can be a bridge between the United States and islamist. When you give them a platform and allow them to legitimize their views, their views are not legitimate, it has to be demonstrated, we cannot accept those who engage in behaviors that show not the slightest shred of humanity. I could talk to you for four hours and not covered everything. Well talk to you throughout this crisis, this will not end anytime soon. Thanks for laying this out with us, appreciate it. Good to be with you. Ivy league students turns out they are not as smart as we thought they were, i will get into that right now. We saw students around the country supposed to be our nations best and brightest on the walls this week, while doing israel in the wake of a massacre of innocent jews with the Passion Of Social Justice appeared to blame when students realized open support of Terrorist Groups might hinder their job prospects. Weve been hearing reports many Student Groups are rescinding their support of hamas to ensure fortune 500 Employment Opportunities remain on the table for post graduation. Hereinafter talk about this, newsweek opinion editor, good friends of the show hamas are gone. And for the first time on the show. Welcome. To see these students at nyu and columbia and colleges i mentioned on the streets actually supporting hamas who actually annihilated children, women and now cause the death of over 2000 israelis, what are they thinking . Thank you for having me and make you as a jewish person for the quality of the coverage you have been giving all week not taking your eye off and making it possible for us to watch this channel and get the truth about whats happening. Of course its incredibly painful to watch students come out and Support Hamas and this horrific terror, its horrific to see members of Congress Come out and not be able to unequivocally condemn hamas without also dragging israel into it. They fundamentally cant stand to see jewish people standing up for themselves against people trying to murder them but i do have to say, this is marginal, President Biden has been unequivocally in his support, the state Department Released a memo saying no one is allowed to demand israel deescalate. Theres been a lot of support for israel and that is bipartisan position in this country, thank god. I will say this, i did see huge displays for the palestinians, hamas. I didnt see it as big for israelis even though i hope what you say is true, my eyes tell me a different story. Thanks for having me on tonight i was in the streets reporting for the Free Press Monday at an anti israel protests outside of the embassy and what i saw was deepseated anger, a lot of people coming up chanting israel should go to hell days after as we talked about, a massacre of over 2000 israelis and we did see people supporting israel on the other side and a lot of emotion and passion on all sides but what really stuck out his people seem to be celebrating when protesting against israel. They seem to celebrate what was a massacre. Heres an example Lawrence Jones went out to talk to them not to judge them, to hear their view and wrap your head around this. I support decolonization and liberation of Palestinian People and end of mass genocide and gaza strip. Get genocide of the kids. That is false. They are attacked for no reason. The children got attacked for no reason. Apparently. They were jewish kids. The u. S. Military, the money that goes there, 4 Million Euros should stop going to israel. They dont believe it . Or they say they deserve it. I think what i would say is horrific to watch that but its not the tip of an iceberg of hate for israel and jews. That is the extent of it. Ive seen so much more condemnation for this and for the students and i have support for, condemnation of Alexandria Cortez and Support Hamas and its a great thing to see. Also yale university, Historical Anthropologist said the killings is really civilians called israeli murderers, genocidal of the state, got ridiculed for that but in stanford, they told jewish kids to sit in a room and leave your belongings, thats what its like with israel for the palestinians. I recently reported a piece for the free press about the exodus of wrong thinkers on university campuses, professors, Tenured Professors pushed out or criticized so harshly they left on their own making statements such as there are two genders or all lives matter. These professors were pushed out because their words were viewed as violence but now we see actual violence and we hear nothing from universities but lukewarm both sides where we hear statements saying we are going to pick neutrality now in this moment now that there is this complex International Issue we dont want to weigh in on rather than hearing strong condemnation for terrorism. You think we are at a turning. One 100 and i urge fellow americans to remember more unites us than divides us, people think Security Breach for israel came at a result of the divisions in israeli societies, please, lets not go down that path. Thanks so much, appreciate it. Keep it right here, we will have another hour of one nation on this israel at work segment, thank you for being here, dont move. There there. Intensifier over the gaza strip. Israeli forces left the city and prepare for massive and also mimic we are pounding enemies with unprecedented force and i stress, this is only the beginning. And runs Foreign Minister met with hamas leader and better today, Hamas Terrorist Organization financially is backed by arends government. These are truly evil people. We saw longrange rockets off the gaza strip streaming through the night sky and now my producer is telling me there are Air Raid Sirens in tel aviv and joffa. Moving in a position among the gaza strip, Artillery Blunders into the night. Thats just happening today, a lot going on in intensity will increase welcome back to the nation second hour, special breaking coverage on the war in israel. We begin with fox news alert, news tonight, will give you the latest, israels Ground Invasion of gaza apparently delayed because of rain in the region. We know it will happen according to israeli officials telling that to the New York Times and that could be a fake, too. We just go by any time anger around. The world latest largest sponsor of terror. Around threatening to intervene if israel losing on the ground. So 529 americans confirmed dead and the blood, the team are unaccounted for. 300 to 500 american palestinians are trapped in gaza. Israeli i minister Benjamin Netanyahu, been there but the bullet proof latest coming. In gaza, mass exodus underway, Hundreds Of Thousands tried to escape the danger zone moving south. New fears of multi front war on the horizon as israeli troops and lebanons hezbollah militant Group Exchange gunfire today but is not picked intensity, theres no two friends at this hour. Lets go to greg alcott on the ground. Thats where we are more than israel keeping an eye on next door hezbollah backed by iran which has said they will go big here is israel escalates. There are signs that will be happening in the coming days. If i can know one thing we can tell you, we are seeing the first plane of our entire trip here, pretty torrential for the last half hour according to the nearest cash sources, the cloud cover is making it difficult right now but according to the New York Times and sources, we have been saying the Ground Invasion should be Going Forward in the coming days. Israeli Defense Forces made that clear on saturday, a group of statements. We are increasing in the next stage of the war, militant targets in last week and killed israel and no 29 americans and 150 hostages are being coincided gaza strip as well. Situation on the ground we have been seeing images all day, Hundreds Of Thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire of, Terror Machine trying to move down from the north side of gaza strip to the southern side. Again quoting sources New York Times seems to think we have been thinking, the concentration of israeli will be on the northern side of gaza strip specifically gaza city, a major base for hamas militants. For the situation here, hezbollah striking all week along the border and we saw activity saturday, infiltrator mapped by israelis, shell Fire Exchange between hezbollah and military and we heard explosions from hezbollah rocket from sy syria. Again the fear is as you noted, second front, perhaps more if hezbollah involved but all lies now are on gaza. It looks like the incursion, major invasion is delayed due to weather. Israels Prime Minister netanyahu compares hamas to isis. He warns of a new phase in the war. Hamas is isis and just as isis was crushed, so too was hamas must be crushed. Hamas should be treated exactly the way isis was treated. They should be spit out from the community of nations. Joining us now with more on the battlefield with insight over israel, the next step, lets go to National Spokesperson for the Israeli Defense force colonel, thank you for joining us. Appreciate it. Lets begin first off, can you confirm the invasion is because of weather . I saw the New York Times report but i dont know what its based on. I can say our troops are repairing themselves for the oncoming missions. They are in what we call the procedure. Plans being ready for what may be the next stage of this operation. Was the approach of the first stage . One success you could tell, you killed hamas commander who spearheaded the attack october 7, you can confirm that, is there anything else you can tell me that you may have achieved . We have several hundred dead hamas operatives, combatants not civilians, that are either under rubble or in the gaza strip. I think we so far have been able to minimize rocket fire on the as can be related to the fact that hamas is serving ammunition and i think we have been able to strike a lot of the adjusted Infrastructure Crucial for hamas and its ability to conduct longrange and longduration operations. When you talk about your targeted strikes, are they coming from fighter jets, from office, are they coming from small units . What we are using now most ordinances delivered, im talking swing aircraft fighter jets as well as uav the targets, depending on availability, most everything we strike is from eric. There has been artillery fire, mostly smoke from various tactical purposes and that is what we are doing right now. Around the gaza strip we have many additional capabilities ready and prepared to enhance operations. Iranian Foreign Minister said today he calls on you to stop attacks in gaza and warned the work might expand to other parts of the middle east including hezbollah, they will join the battle if you going to gaza. How do you respond to that threat from around . Im sure iranians are not happy at the prospect of dismantling a project iranians invested billions of dollars in so i can appreciate their view and its clear what we are going to do, dismantle hamas they are no longer going to be a factor once we are done with them so i understand what the iranians are thinking about and its obvious they were threatened, hezbollah will threaten the situation but in 2006 comes to memory where Southern Lebanon suffered significant consequences for aggression of hezbollah and the second war when they attacked us and it took many years to rebuild the damage that hap happened. That should be reminded to hezbollah and what we have said many times in the past hezbollah texas, 2006 will seemed like A Walk In The Park as opposed to what we will do to hezbollah and anything that supports infrastructure. Have you seen signs hezbollah is mobilizing to attack 100,000 rockets they have . So far what hezbollah has been doing is attacks across the border between s and lebanon and fire and i think missiles and attempted to infiltrate and attack one of our positions in the area bar area with no Civilian Population and they are constantly i would say, enhancing and escalating the situation, not going above a certain threshold yet and i think they can see we are deployed on the south of the border, we are ready and there wont be any surprise attacks this time and i think the memories of 2006 are fresh in their memory and they should remain so. Our reporters are saying here in washington The White House has asked you guys to delay the invasion of gaza because for humanitarian reasons, but the citizens move south. Can you confirm or deny that . If we did, would you even li listen . I cannot confirm. What i know we are trying to evacuate american citizens, there was an attempt today to evacuate americans from gaza toward egypt. Unfortunately it was not successful, i understand the blockade was on thousand side of the border. I cannot confirm if it was blocked by hamas or any other issue but we are concerned with the situation the primary focus is to dismantle hezbollah hamas. We will do that as fast and effective as we can. Someone told us to take it easy on our credit, we wouldnt listen to i dont blame you. Thanks so much for your time and information. We are all pulling for you. Meanwhile, lets move ahead. As the war continues, the world turns his gaze toward the United States. We know in addition to the thousands of israelis, 29 americans are dead at the hands of mosque terrorists, what are we going to do . Will President Biden take a stand or lead from behind like the democratic and his predecessor work with resident obama . With us right now for an analysis, victor davis hanson, Senior Fellow military historian and all the answers. Good to see you. Your reaction to the president s backing of israel . A full week since the terrorist attack, there has been no invasion, are you comfortable with that . I think all the rhetoric is positive out of The White House but the real test will come when the israelis have to go into because it involves when they will need western and american support so thats what will matter when the Biden Administration followed was promised, let israel deal with hamas and we will see. I am mystified, i cant recall that number of americans being killed or taken hostage in the middle east without a strong reaction from the United States. We havent even issued an ultimatum to hamas. We havent expressed outrage to hamas and cant think of any other comparable situation in the middle east when we would lose two or three people, ambassador or cia people or civilians or people taken hostages, this administration is willing to give 6 billion to a terrorist government for six hostages. Cant they at least show some type of concern in the sense of warning hamas if they are killing hostages were killed hostages they will regret it for the rest of their Brief Existence . If you want to watch hamas leaders hair gel on justin 5000 suit, just go to carter. They are reading the Iranian Foreign minister, we are meeting qatari officials trying to get hostages out and see if they will help us. I have a little disconnect there, why are hamas officials allowed to look in luxury with qatar sitting there while the secretary of the state business class. Qatar is the base of the u. S. Command and some reason we are wedded to the idea that this ally has leverage on us because we rent facilities that are valuable in the middle east but its analogous to turkey. Turkey is pro hamas, we have a big air force, a nato member and antidemocratic now. Its Anti European and i think when this is over, this government needs to take a close look at u. S. Relations with both turkey and qatar because we came from another planet and we looked empirically at the way they have acted and their attitudes and who their allies are and their enemies, i think you would almost call them literatures of the United States yet we consider them allies because they have leverage because we have aces there. We dont want the basis, i know they are strategically valuable and we have invested a lot of money in them but they will be liabilities because governments are anti american. Known the way you know military history and World History so well, do you expect this to be a war, in two weeks from now, if you expect has a lot to be in Syrian Forces . The terrorists are there, do you expect iran to be eventually in . It depends on two things, the efficacy of the idea, if the idf goes in and is not restrained and clearly as winning, nobody will want to suffer what hamas is doing. If the idf is restrained and we get into Something Like longterm stalin grab, i think somebody might come in. The other factor is the United States. If the United States makes it clear to iran that iran supplied rockets, has the law blanket the cities of israel, 100,000 or so and israel is hitting in response and they are still doing it. We have to take a hard look at iran. I dont think we can go on like this. European allies understand that and the only promising thing is no one likes iran in the world, its a dangerous theocratic state even socalled allies like china and russia would not lose sleep over losing Nuclear Deterrent so have iran sooner or later, this war in gaza is only highlighting that reality. I will track it all with you, thank you for giving up your Saturday Night for us. Appreciate it. Thank you for your perspective. Pro Terror Demonstrations nationwide sparking concern for our own security. The man behind the Anti Terror Unit here in new york city, the best Police Commissioners in the country, former nypd police to time ray kelly is next. We are not all right. Hamas believes they are fighting on behalf of something in their destructible despicable action. We are not all right. When we still have hostages have not come home to the family, we are not all right. This was intentional, this was nasty. This was something that shows hamas must be disbanded and destroyed immediately. Some people got right including the mayor, nationwide protest going, home and security ramping up police presence. Nypd deploying every officer putting uniform or come to work, nypd is expected t to Counterterrorism Unit by up to 75 . You feel good about that . I dont. Thus the unit my next guest created from a new York City Police commissioner to time Police Commissioner ray kelly, you responded to 9 11 that way. I think you are the best in the world. Now, how foolish does it look to cut back on that unit today . The reality is hemorrhaging Police Officers, they continued to leave the nypd and other big departments throughout the country and they cant hire replacements so they have to man radio calls and answer 911 calls in the have to come from someplace. These are tough decisions to make and they reduced it significantly. I dont see any alternative for the department unfortunately. These are Police Officers that would cover for the most part sensitive locations. Locations where intelligence, maybe an issue that so it is a problem and it wont be solved anytime soon. I get the sense people think the work is over but got to tell that to the fbi director who said a huge surge of threats since the war in israel started, heightened environment for terror, hes worried about it. I dont know if he has what he needs and in france you can see macron order about 7000 soldiers after the teacher was stabbed by islamic extremists and it was closed. Not the time to come back on terror. It isnt but again, he needs the bodies to be able to do it, you need to be close to do Terrorism Task force working hand in glove, hopefully that happening. Pray little bit. Prime target seen as the capital of the world, visitors from all over, 60 million tourists come to new york and of course we have the un here which tracks foreign visitors so it certainly is an environment but nypd has a lot of talented people and they are doing everything they can. After 9 11, there were people rallying for al qaeda, who would probably take them in, certainly take pictures and track them but after little Terror Attacks which is every bit as depraved and brutal as al qaeda and isis, im looking at this video and its not just new york but around the country, major cities for the palestinians, for hamas, does it make sense to you . It makes sense for cities to do everything they can in certainly big cities but virtually every big city has lost Police Officers. A hotbed of palestinian support if you will on campuses throughout the country, i know you talked about columbia and nyu but theres a lot more. There are chapters of students for justice for palestine and i believe over 100 of those chapters and their goal on campus is to harass jewish students and they have complained to the president s of universities and deans, nothing happens, they are afraid and thats who you see on these campuses organizing these demonstrations and they are quite valuable. Extreme behavior as major events to get people to change with 120,000 migrants in new york city, we have to house and feed them and wash their clothes, we have to do their laundry, give them a menu and feed them. Then they cant work. Do you think this is the type of environment to finally get us to crackdown on the border . We dont know whos coming in whether they look for a better life for ruin hours, do you think this is the type of event to get everybody focused their works. Absolutely. Its time to do it two years ago but yes. People from all over the world, initially thought it would be south american countries but no, they are coming from all over. It is so illogical to do this. I dont understand this. Anyway to make sense is for political reasons and thats a terrible reason to let what we have here in a city of 120,000 people, we have over 7 Million People coming. No other country in the world. Its crazy. It makes no sense. My Exit Question to you, Sanctuary Cities when President Trump says will end it, cities sued back to keep it, do you think they regret that . Sure. Absolutely. I think the mayor regret saying, advertising that new yorks is a sanctuary city. He was very proud of that. 120,000 people later and the whole notion of Guaranteeing Shelter is ludicrous in the situation. Should have went to court on that last year. No judge can uphold that. Go to court and fight that issue but with got to do something here. They are all over the sidewalk in midtown manhattan. I worked from penn station, they were everywhere and they dont know what to do do the cells. Commissioner, thank you so much. I think they get a Snack Tonight on us so we will make sure they get that snack. Commissioner, thank you for your time of vigilance, that you are on our side. Next, we break down iran in this horrific attack and controversial 6 billion prisoner swap. Dont move. We just havent seen any specific tangible intelligence that leads us to the conclusion that reaching into iran resource attacks. We believe the complicity of the looking at it and we have not seen direct evidence. No specific evidence . You heard that, right . Is no secret parent has been bending most for years without a run, there is no hamas providing majority of weapons manufacturing. The Biden Administration is denial we know it and only under mounting pressure the u. S. And qatar quietly agreed on the 6 billion and released to iran for that deal. Joining us now for to put this into the effective, the abraham records, adam joins us here. Your reaction to the administrations unwillingness to blame around . I think in this case its clear iran is behind this. 6 billion direct involvement as you said, there is no hamas without iran. Our policy has been Appeasing Van for the last few years and thats what emboldens hamas mark we see around saying if you go and have the Military Land Incursion to gaza we will probably get involved. They are warning israel not to go in, would you do with that warning . I think its pretty empty, the truth is look at what happened when we killed irans number two guy. We killed him in iraq and they fired a missile that missed our base and didnt kill anyone because they knew what we would do if they fired the missile. Iran really likes to instigate, they have a little bit harder of a problem backing up their correct. Secretary of the state lincoln has been all over, after he got the meeting with this said talks between israel and saudi arabia are frozen, he didnt say canceled, he didnt say forever broken, he said frozen. Thats the word that leaves member of hope, dont you think . I do think so and keep in mind this is a proxy war. Hamas terrorist organization attacking israel behind that is iran. Why did iran push it now . They want to settle saudi arabia and scuttle nbs and abraham of course in saudi arabia attention involvement is around stability against terror, against iran so its not iranian moving, saudi is going to wait and they didnt make Public Comments at certain parts but cut me out of this is israel eliminate hamas. You may see openings for a change do politically. Do you worry about the administrations restraining israelis . Once it starts and carnage built up and there will be a few days, he worried the u. S. In tried to stop the Prime Minister from doing what he needs to do . Its my biggest concerns. A policy of appeasement in the region will not work. Ill give the Administration Credit or credit is due, theyve done a great job supporting israel and they need to follow through and we need to remember this was a terrorist attack. When we were attacked on 9 11, no one stopped and was worried about al qaeda or osama bin laden. We need to let israel systematically eliminate hamas and the u. S. Needs to stand behind them. Twentynine americans are dead, how do we answer that effectively . How do we send a message its not okay . Look what happened in iran when they had our hostages during the carter era and it changed when reagan came into place you are very strong, 15 people from what we understand our hostages, we may see some of them executed. This is a real issue, we need to unite and stand strong and remember what worked in iran during the hostage crisis. It was not appeasement, it wasnt weakness. Reagan came in and we got our hostages back. Thanks so much, appreciate it. We will call you again. Straight ahead, is it time to bring back President Trumps redline . I will ask mark teasing next.

What is worse than having no American Ambassador in israel . Having one that works behind the scenes to give admin access to the Financial System without telling anyone. Jack lew. His Confirmation Hearing is set for monday for republicans, they expect to grow him but his time as Barack Obamas treasury secretary. Marc thiessen, he wrote about it, fox news conditioner, marc, working in what way to circumvent our Financial System . Hes appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he lied to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about this so there was a report by the Senate Subcommittee on investigations which uncovered all of this. He testified before the committee he would not give iran access to the u. S. Financial system in a few months later he helped iran circumvent u. S. Sanctions doing exactly that. He issued the license that allowed, helped iran to get access to u. S. Thanks so they could convert 5. 7 billion dollars in frozen assets and issued a license to a bank, thank gave permission to go get u. S. Banks to do the transaction and they sent Treasury Department pressure to u. S. Thanks to do it and refused because it goes against the law because the sanctions and he failed and then lied to congress afterwards and appear before the House Financial Services committee completely omitted the fact that he had given license and didnt mention it and said we were not giving iran access we had just done it a few weeks earlier and marco rubio, im looking forward to his questioning, he told him they were not doing it, it flat out lie and how could we send is israel, and ambassador who tried to get to violate u. S. Sanctions to violate sanctions to get access to contravention to u. S. Law . Insane funding the people who carried out the attack. If we know, israel knows it, they probably dont want him, robert malik suspended his Security Clearance, hes a professor at princeton but this guy is a complex situation, can you explain it to us . With lou . No, robert. In bed with the iranian regime, he was stopped, he had to be kicked off the Biden Campaign because of this. This guy was negotiating the nuclear deal and played a key role when he went back and pop Security Clearance done, we do know apparently we grew up so close, his unofficial godfather, im pretty sure he was negotiating with radians on the best interest of america in israel. Cant wait to see how that comes out. Do you remember this . President trump joined me on radio this week to remind everybody where iran was when he was there. It would never have happened, just like ukraine would never happen with russia. This would never have happened. They were in a weakened state, sanctioning everybody and fighting with everybody. You cant do business and china wasnt buying, nobody was buying oil, they were a poor country. 6 billion is a lot but peanuts compared to 100 Billion Dollars there. He said redline, he wrote about that, tell us. When donald trump was president , he said redline, there are no distinctions between you and Terrorist Proxies and either you or your Terrorist Proxies killed a single american we will strike iran and when iran crossed the line, they militia fired rockets and killed a u. S. Contractor and injured four american servicemen and launched an attack and when they fire to the u. S. Embassy, he took a the head of the Iranian Revolutionary guards force and he told iranians in a tweet, he said if you retaliate, we will strike iran and he said i picked out 52 targets in iran in honor of the 52 american hostages and i will take the targets out they backed out so heres the question, why isnt biden saying still and forth . We have 27 americans killed by an iranian proxy and we got hostages. Why doesnt he tell the iranians if you touch a single hair on the head of an american hostage, i will strike iran . I would do the same thing donald trump did and every time an american dies and one of their commanders should die as well. Capitol hill, jordan up to 200 votes, 217. Your thoughts . It holds up israeli aid, additional aid for the border, more money for ukraine in taiwan, what will it take to get a speaker . Its an absolute embarrassment and thank god for Kevin Mccarthy because if he had not passed that resolution, can you imagine if all of this was happening in israel right now and republicans shut down the government . We are already a laughingstock, an absolute disaster that would be. Kevin mccarthy lost his job for that. What we say about matt gaetz . Look at the chaos hes caused. Thanks so much. Meanwhile, israeli Vascular Team embarks on a tour against nba squads. They scheduled this before the attacks. We will speak to the head coach next only on one nation. No corel seeing israels National Anthem work new yorkers stood in solidarity with israelis just before the new york next played. Israeli team was only there and the rest for three days. Of the two or be tour tragedy struck on saturday. In spite of it all, they are playing their hearts up against the next thing the cavaliers monday. Sparking hope for those watching at home and looking, knowing the horror that awaits them. With me now, head coach who joins us from cleveland in the face team will face off in todays was going through your mind right now . I dont know how much it could be against basketball but for your career, its a Pivotal Moment coming to play. How can you keep your mind on that knowing what happened on saturday. Right now im not thinking about, nothing about my career. You asked me was in my mind, i think my answer would be whats in my heart, my heart is broken. I lost a good friend of mine and i care about his family and his kids and im far away from my wife and kids and my friends so its not really in my mind, its in my heart. Basketball, of course its hard to focus on basketball in those moments that i choose that profession and i will do it the best i can. He served in the military 23 years, he retired a month ago. As soon as the war start, packed up and headed into the fight and lost his life. You tell me almost everywhere somebody knows somebody affected directly by the attacks. Thats amazing. Thats amazing and sad and hard to understand if you dont live in israel, deal with it, people ask why we stay and play, you say our bodies are in the United States but our mind and heart are in israel because we need to be hope for those kids, those babies, those young people who live in israel and show them we are a strong country and israel or strong people and we go forward through this. Was it like hearing your National Anthem before the next game . You said it was emotional for you. Definitely. The pregame, they asked me a lot about whats going to happen and i told them i might try and thats all right and its a personal tragedy for me but also tragedy for israel is a country so i cried a little bit but its fine with me. No need to be ashamed of that. When you get back your country will be at work, what will that mean for you and your family . A lot. To live in the country, it doesnt matter if its israel or another country in the world, to live in a country suffered from war is terrible. I know there is some countries now fighting and its a terrible thing. Peace has to come to all or it will be a disaster. It will be hard but Good Luck Monday Night and i know its not about winning but im sure people will be in israel watching at home and maybe put a smile on their face. Thanks so much, coach. Appreciate it. Best to you and your family and everyone in israel. Thank you very much. That is it for us tonight, thank you for watching this special two hour edition of one nation.
