President biden warns israel to not occupy gaza. Ready for a likely invasion. I am jon scott, this is special two hours of the fox report. It is 10 p. M. Here in new york. 5 00 a. M. In israel. Just hours ago president said in an interview, he is confident that israel will act under the rules of war in deploying u. S. Troops will not be necessary, this is as president is considering a trip to the war ravaged nation in the coming days. Nothing has been finalized. Since the wharf began the war began last week, officials from d Biden Administration have been jets to the middle east, the white house is pledging israel its unwaiverring support. The u. S. Is working with Palestinian Authority to support on going humanitarian efforts in gaza, pentagon officials stress that u. S. Military is only advising israel. President biden said he believes happ hamas must be eliminated there must also be a path for palestinian state. And urges emergencies to be on alert. Americans to be on alert, our correspondent greg palkot is live with the latest. Reporter were up here in northern israel. Keeping an eye what could be a potentially second front with the iranian backed hezbollah militants. L. Build up continues around gaza strip, tanks, could haves vehicles and soldiers poised just outside. Under scoring that Ground Invasion could be in the offing, very soon. Perhaps in coming days. As you note ed, the situation on the ground in the gaza strip very perilous. Hundreds of thousands are fleeing from north side of gaza down to the south per earlier israeli warning. But, many are still caught there. The problem is that fuel supply, electricity, food, medicine, very low. As the grim numbers build 1400 killed in israel. From the hamas blood bath. New number on the american death toll is 30. Palestinians 2700 killed now in the gaza strip. Thousands wounded. 155 people that are believed to be held hostage. The latest number on the americans is 13 could be unaccounted for. Here in northern israel, it has been a very tense day sunday here. We have been watching clashes between the Israeli Forces and the hezbollah militants. All day gunfire, rocket fire, helicopters, drones, tracers. Oblasts back and forth and casualties, one israeli killed. Several injuries. Untold tolls over in lebanon. Israel said it doesnt want a second war here, hamas hezbollah is holding back, but iran i think said it all today, Official In Tehran said if israel moves forward, if it escalated its partners, including hezbollah could act as well, back to you. So how would you describe this, you say there is Fire Exchange between hezbollah and the israelis are they just testing one another . Reporter what hezbollah says these are warnings strikes. But our team has been here it has been continuous, right now in the background, probably dont pick it up, there is a drone overhead. No doubt coming from the Israeli Military. They want to test each other. But i think both sides for the moment dont want this to get bigger. What their leaders are saying is it could escalate as things pick up down south. That would be bad news all around, greg palkot thank you. Lets bring in spokesman for israeli consulate in new york. There has been a lot of speculation, it is only, that Ground Offensive has not begun in ernest in gaza because idf wants to explore possibility of and type of exchange of prisoners for hostages, is there anything to that . The only thing that i can say is we take the situation of the hostages very seriously. We calculating our next move depending on the probability to get them back home alive and well. I can tell you if that is the reason why were holding the operation right now or not, but it is one of the reasons. Has there been any communication from hamas, about the hostages at all . We are not negotiating with hamas, directly, we never did and motte were not doing it right now, there you diplomatic channels that this issue is being discussed, i can not elaborate. But it is not directly between israel and hamas. The Israeli Government has told people in the northern portion of gaza to evacuate. Hamas is telling them to stay put. First of all, why does hamas do this . What would you advise these people to do . How are they supposed to make a decision here . We told them to evacuate because we want to make sure there is a little Collateral Damage as possible, we dont want innocent civilians to get hurt. Hamas is doing the opposite, they tell them to stay right put, because they want to use them as Human Shields. They believe and based on history, they have reason to do so, israel would be more careful. More reluctance to go all of the way if there are civilians, but this time were changing the rules. Because this is after what happened we have to make Everything Possible to make sure that we eradicate hamas and the threat they are imposing toward israel, and bringing all of the hostages back home. President biden began the week by saying israel has his fullbacking and fullbacking of the United States, but tonight, he did say, that israel should not occupy gaza. It seemed like a bit of a step back from his earlier position, how do you see it . Israel does not have a plan to occupy gaza, our plan is to eradicate hamas, and its capabilities, what will come after, that is the next question. I cant tell you that i know for sure, only thing that i know for sure it is cannotting wo be worse than it is right now, hamas is no different than isis and a threat like that has to be eradicated this is the objective of the operation, not occupying gaza. How confident are you that the eratification of hamas is achievable . I trust the idf. We did a full mobilization of more than 300 thousand soldiers, we have the most Cutting Edge Technology in weapons, were very much motivated to do so. So i believe that this time around, we will go all the way. And the fact that we have the support of the United States to do so is very valuable. And in resent previous rounds of conflicts we have a lot of pressure to pull out, i think that time it will be different. Itam mill milner in new york we wish you well, thank you. Mark is joining us now with latest on how the white house is responding. To the crisis in the middle east, mark. Reporter jon, white house said that President Biden is being briefed throughout the week on situation in israel, including a briefing today to get latest on 13 americans who are still missing, many believed to have been taken hostage over the past 8 days. The white house also learning that the number of americans killed in last weeks violence is up to 30 americans, were waiting to see how the white house may respond in this new week. But President Biden sat down with 60 minutes, he said he understands why israel is deploying so many resources. Israel is going after a group of people who have engaged in b barbarism as Ccon Sequence consequence sha at the holocaust. White house has been engaging with the families of Missing Americans and speaking on phone with israeli Prime Minister pr. The fbi says it is well aware that people are worried that someone could carry out a lone wolf style attack in the coming days in support of hamas, fbi director has seen reports of upticks in threats against jewish and muslimamericans. A Bipartisan Sens Senate Delegation visits white house, mark kelly was shocked. The meetings today were some of the toughest i had in my two and a Half Yearings in u. S. Senate, some of the images and video we say is like something i have never seen in my life. Reporter we have heard that from various lawmakers. What about President Biden . There is a report that the israelis are offering to host president at some point, the white house says no trip is ready to be announced yet. That indicates it not off the table. But there would be a lot of security and logistical challenges. Mark merideth thank you. For more on President Bidens comes lets sp bring in analyst dr. Rebecca grant. A fox news contributor. The president says that israel has his full, backing but he is warning israel to not occupy gaza, how do you take that. Very interesting, but i think we have to put that remark in context. What i heard was him saying not occupy gaza like for 30 years like from 1967 to 2005. I didnt hear anything about israel not able to go into the gaza strip, clean out the hamas Military Capability and do what they need to do to restore israel security, just no longterm permanent occupation of gaza is how i took it. The destroying Military Capability, easier said than done. Hamas has managed to smuggle in to kin tons of weapons overs 16 or so years that had has owned gaza. Israel can take out as much as them as it can find. What is to prevent hamas from reconstituting . Incredible what is built up in there over that time. You raise a good point. Israel thought they ha destroyed most of the c capability in 2021, here we are seeing another several thousand hamas missiles launched and this terrible lanland attack. Get their infrastructure, their key leadership and command in control, but also, clampdown on the support, particularly from iran. For building the longer range weapons and different more exotic tactics there has to be amove away from support for hamas from the other regional governments, which it was still containing hamas, that was one thing but this is a new situation, and aid to hamas to build up Military C Capability has to stop. Were looking at footage from gaza of the damage already done by in of the israeli airstrikes, it is substantial. Someone will have to pay for that how do you rebuild gaza, try to give the palestinians who live there some kind of a decent chance at life without getting money funneled to hamas. And other bad actors in the region. That is a great question, the longterm security of that region will depend on gaza being a more economically viable place, not having 50 unemployment and all of the terrible conditions that have happened under hamas, im glad to see some in most mid east saying hamas does not represent palestine. Right now, it is all about that military option for israel as we wait and watch to see, they really have to go and eradicate hamas Military Capability. And interesting to see President Biden say he thought iran had no Fore Knowledge of the iran attack, a very interesting remark. A lot of people raised eye brows at that one. Rebecca grant thank you. Thank you. So President Biden says deploying our troops in this middle east war is not necessary. But our military present near israel is expanding. More on that from the pentagon. And well talk with an afghan war vet who was once nominated to be u. S. Ambassador To Afghanistan, next. Jon in u. S. Continues to pledge unwavering supports, Many Americans are left wondering whether u. S. Military will deploy troops to the region our fox news correspondent Jillian Turner takes a look. Reporter no boots on the ground in israel, secretary austin is back from his trip overseas to visit israel and talking about some major challenges that the idf will face some they move forward. This is a urban environment. This is probably a threedimensional battle, hamas has constructed a number of tunnels under the city, if they conduct a campaign to the city, a land campaign, they have to account for that, they have done this before, they have learned lessons, they have to think it through. Administration top priority is working to free u. S. Hostages and preventing the war from becoming a wider regional conflict. Opening up additional fronts, that will detract Israeli Defense forces from primary fight. Reporter Secretary J Austin issued a new directive moving to eastern mediterranean. Following hamas attack on israel. Senator tom cotton told Fox News Sunday this is the right message at right moment to send israels enemies. Nothing should be off of the table and iran and hezbollah should understand we have two Carrier Strike groups in the region for a reason, were not sitting by and letting iran and its cats paws like hamas and hezbollah try to destroy israel as a nation. Reporter Secretary Of State Antony Blinken will return to israel tomorrow for his second meeting of the week facetoface with Prime Minister netanyahu. And Antony Blinken learned that u. S. In to gaza. And they are working to get aid pumping through the opens no timeline was disclosed. Jon all right Jillian Turner thank you. And lets bring in William Ruger an Afghanistan War vet, still active in u. S. Naval reserves, once nominated to serve as u. S. Ambassador To Afghanistan by president trump, ruger is now president of American Institute for economic research, we appreciate your joining us. Looking at military situation, israel poised to go into gaza, we understand it will be air, land and sea. From a military perspective, just give us your evaluation . I think that we cant under appreciate that israel is going to have use all of these dimensions to secure itself against the legitimate threat that hamas poses to them, they have to take advantage of those different types of options. That said, evidence of urban warfare in the middle east shows this will be quite dangerous and costly, israel has to be very careful. If you think about the challenges of Dismounted Infantry Fighting Block By block, building by building in the area, this tehran that hamas terrain that hamas knows better than anyone, and local knowledge will allow them to deploy their forces in a way that could bring big challenges for israel. Israel has a lot of superior capabilities themselves, it should be careful, warfare is not immaculate. It is costly. We have to recognize this not going to be easy and the Eratification Fight will be challenging. Jon President Biden said there is no need for u. S. Troops to the ground. Despite the fact that some 14 or so of hostages are thought on be americans. Do you agree . Your assess think about possible need for u. S. Troops . I think he is right. U. S. Forces will not be required within israel or in gaza. Look, hamas and hezbollah are serious challenges, we saw the Barbarism On Display last week, they have the hostages still, but they dont pose same existential threat that russia poses to ukraine or appears to back last year. I think that United States wont need to even if it came to it that israel was facing challenges meeting their needs. I dont think it will require u. S. Intervention, lesson of last 20 years is u. S. Should be wary of entering into conflict on the ground in middle east, weve seen these challenges in afghanistan and iraq. And the Horn Of Africa in libya and syria. Hopefully israel can meet Thissing Challenge on its own with our help from offshore. Jon our trey yingst got footage of weapons captured from hamas by the israelis, large numbers of antitank mines, you have to believe that gaza strip is ceded with that kind of explosive material. And that it is not going to be a cake walk for the israelis. No, the Israeli Military is capable, but even capable militaries have challenges with urban warfare, we saw that in Battle Of Mosul in iraq years ago, when Iraqi Government tries to punch isis from the area pu purge isis from the area. It happened in a costly fashion. This is the tragedy of power politics. A lot of things have to happen that come at dear human costs, we would love to see this conclude without that bloodshed that weve seen in say ukraine. But it is not cost less either. Jon William Ruger. Veteran of Afghanistan War. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Jon President Biden warns israel to not occupy gaza. While israel has a Military Force of almost 400 thousand outside of gaza ready for a possible invasion. Well take threw live, next take you there live, next. This she■s a hero moment.

Jon im jon scott this is the fox report, at the bottom of the hour, here is a look at latest on Israel At War. President biden is considering a trip to israel in coming days, white house says nothing has been finalized. But it is another show of support for israel. It prepares to launch a massive land, sea and Air Operation gain the terrorist group hamas. Second of state Antony Blinken is expected to travel to israel this week. Despite president s unwavering support for israel mr. Biden is warning the. Jewish state it is not to occupy gaza. And the u. S. State Department Confirms at least 30 americans have been killed in the war. Another 13 remain unaccounted for, believed they of held hostage by the terrorists of hamas. Jon lets check in with Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent greg palkot live near israellebanon border. We lost our connection. The weather there has been actually quite stormy. It is past of reason that some people say that Israeli Defense forces have been holding off on going into gaza. Perhaps the if the weather clears we may see this fullscale invasion of gaza begin. We will try to get back to greg palkot as soon as we can. Jon you can join Fox Corporation in supporting israel merge fund. In association with united jewish appeal, sma scan qr code on your screen or donate at ujafedny. Org. Fox corporation donated a million dollars. Lets bring in jamal jeffer, former associate White House Council to president bush, he is now founder and Executive Director of the National Security institute. There are great fears jamal, that this war, Battle Between Israel and hac hamas could expand and bring more players from the middle east on to the battlefield. What are the chances. To be clear there are already other players, iran has long backed hamas, they have attacked israel. Using iranian provided intelligence, and information and money and weaponry, iran is involved in this conflict. That is a huge part of the problem that is driving this fight. Jon i believe President Biden said in his interview withi did not believe that iran had Fore Knowledge. It is hard to believe, we know that in the last 24 to 48 hours, iranian senior officials have met with hamas leadership, and while they have gone back and forth about their position on whether they would get directly involved, they have long been involved in a proxy war, not just against israel but also the United States, they funded at least two terrorist groups, in iraq, during our time there. Killed hundreds of americans with iranian made explosive p penetrators. Jon but, iran tends to back off when they are confronted with powerful Military Force. The fact that we have two Aircraft Carrier groups off of the coast of israel right now, do you think that is sufficient to keep iran from meddling further in this middle east war. President biden has been clear, his first statement was clear any nation state or nonstate actor who sought to take advantage would face consequences, the question, will our adversaries take is seriously. With the withdrawal and afghanistan. And were do do dont always sta stand by our words, but moving the carriers into the region is the right thing to do. The president has said israel has his full support and full backing of u. S. But said that israel should not occupy gaza. That it is not a back peddling, but why say that . Why not just say let the israelis decide what needs to be done and how long it will take. You know, im reminded of what happened to us after 9 11, we lost 3 thousand americans in a single day, we went To Afghanistan with full backing of our allies, no one said how long we should be there we understood the justice of our cause, the need to take out of taliban and take out al qaeda and t decade long search for Osama Bin Laden and alzawahiri. The fact that were talking about this, they suffer roughly equivalent of 16 9 11s, the fact that they it idiscuss whether they should ac occupy gaza or not, should not be said. They dont desire to occupy gaza. Jon do you think they could be successful . That is a much harder question. It will be a doortodoor fight, very challenging, hamas has already demonstrated they will use civilians as shields. You have seen Israeli Defense forces saying that people of gaza should move south, hamas is telling its own people, stay in place, knowing that Israeli Defense Fore Fluorescentses are coming forces are coming in, this is a disregard for lives of their own people as well. Jon unbelievable, jamele jaffer appreciate your time. Thank you. Jon well be right back. J. Pt knows its easy to get lost in investment research. Get help with j. P morgan personal advisors.

Jon new york city mayor eric adams delivering a emotional address, throwing citys full support behind israel and condemning those who have taken to the street standing up for hamas. Reporter good evening jon. New york city mayor adams is doubling down with his views on the war, on saturday, the mayor speaking at a church on staten island, blaming quote, De Demonic Energy but telling people that hamas does not represent those of muslim faith. According to New York Post who said mayor said, hamas is a demommic terrorist organization. That is not islam. This comes after an early fiery message from adams getting peoples attention. This was intentional, it was bitter, this was nasty, it was something that shows hamas must be disbanded and destroyed. Immediately. Were not going to say we have a Stiff Upper Lip and alike everything is fine, everything is not fine. Israel has a right to defend itself. Reporter mayor support of israel as protests continue at colleges and universities yesterday at harvard more than a thousand students gathered in support of palestinians, calling for a ceasefire and gaza and saying that israel needs to end its occupation of the region, rallying organize are say when they speak out deaths in gaza in support of Palestinian Authority, they are not endorsing violence against innocent lives, after some of same organizers faced backlash for a joint Statement Released this week blaming israel for surprise hamas attack, prompting academic leaders to speak out, president saying in her third statement that university does not support terrorism and rejects terrorism but embraces free expression. Jon cb thank you. Aid to israel could held up on capitol hill until the House Of Representatives elections a new speaker, a floor vote for jim jordan could take lace place please tuesday, at least count there are more than 50 republicans who opposed jim jordan as speaker do you think those 50 can be persuaded . Well, thank you for the opportunity. That is the question of the hour. Im sure that jim is has been calling during the whole weekend and tomorrow were supposed to go to dc, Have A Conference on g. O. P. Members and lets see what happens tomorrow night, everything is consolidated for tuesday slated for tuesday to go on the floor and start voting. Lets hope he has the votes, so we can open the house and do business. Jon hakeem jeffries, democrat minority leader in the house made overtures to some republicans say ill get you a collection of democrats together, you put forward names and well see if we can do a bipartisan speaker. I read about that, i called colleagues, they could not confirm, that but im not telling you can may not be true, anything that creates harmony and we can legislate again, not only to help israel but continue to fund the government, we have until november 17 to finish funding the government for next year, it time for us to come together, create an agreement and whether that takes help from the democrats or not, depends on what the democrats will be offering to leadership. Im open to anything that makes this country move forward and take care of the business we have to daysed to what based on what is happening with israel we have to stand together. And send message to our enemies we with israel, not use this conflict to expand the regional war that just started. We have two regionals in 3 years in Biden Administration, we need to stop it. Jon Kevin Mccarthy was forced out by republicans, Steve Scalise was nominated and then withdrew his nomination. Because he didnt have enough support among republicans. Do you feel like your conference is looking foolish over this vote . Well, were not looking very united. That is not something there is an to say. Something pleasant to say this, part of democracy, that is 10 days. And at some found we have to come together whether we leak it or not, whether favorite person that whomever we had in mind to be speaker, what happened to Kevin Mccarthy should have happened, it was i 8 of our Conference Members and 216 democrats, the democrats have a great responsibility in what happened. Maybe that is why Leader Jefferies now reaching now the. Now it is time to not look backwards but forward, what do we did by looking 10 days ago, it happened now we need to find a new spe. [spspeaker, it is time to grow up and time to get together that should be happening this week. No longer than this week.

Jon we go back to greg palkot on ground the israellebanon border, what the situation. Reporter it is quiet now, throughout the day here, sunday, it has been quite interesting, there has been a really consistent exchange of fire between hezbollah militants over in lebanon, about a mile from where we are. And the Israeli Forces. Remind our viewers hezbollah is backed by iran. Iran also backs hamas, busy dealing with israel in the southern part of the country, the thinking that fear is if israel escalates, as it has signs of doing there will be escalation theory, we ourselves witnessed 4 incidents, ar ti artillery fire, gunfire. Rocket fire. One israeli killed, hamas said they are just warning shots to israel. But, pretty serious, israel said, we dont want to get in a f fullfledged war with hezbollah. You can imagine why not. The iranian officials say, if israel builds up, they will build up here, we have gotten some indication of that. Since weve been here. Jon but things are relatively quiet at least for now . At least for now, yes. But, a big build up of military here on the israeli side. You have to imagine, they are stretched right now. Dealing with the carnage aftermath. Jon greg palkot thank you. Im jon scott, our live special coverage continues with more of this special expanded edition of the fox report, straight ahead. Teeth sensitivity is so common. It immediately feels like somebodys poking directly on the nerve. I recommend sensodyne. Sensodyne toothpaste goes inside the tooth and calms the nerve down. And my patients say you know doc, it really works. Jon sights and sounds of israelhamas war, there is a fox news alert, President Biden warns israel to not reoccupy gaza. I am jon scott, with special coverage of the dark against the israel, it is 11 p. M. In new york, 6 a. M. In israel, in a interview with 60 minutes president says it will be a big mistake if israel once again occupied gaza, and mr. Biden is considers a trip. Since war began last weekend, officials have Biden Administration have been jets across the middle east trying to prevent the conflict from escalating further. White house pledges Unwavers Support for israel. U. S. Is working with Palestinian Authority to support on going humanitarian efforts in gaza, pentagon officials stress u. S. Military is only advising israel. And President Biden said he believes hamas must be entirely eliminated there must also be a path for palestinian state, and Urges Americans to be on high alert for latest from israel, we turn to greg palkot he is near the israel lebanon border. Reporter unrest in the region, we have been tracking the iranian backed hezbollah group, across the border from where we are here. Lets get to the israel versus hamas war, that is getting very close to reaching some kind of a new stage according to Israeli Defense force officials. The Military Building up on the other side of the gaza strip, we have been witnessing it on the ground there. And hearing about it continuing today. Tanks, artillery, soldiers getting ready, officials talking about a new stage of War Challenge becoming, they are not giving the timing on it, it seems to be getting closer and closer. This is the situation inside of gaza strip it gets worse and worse, hundreds of thousand have been fleeing from the northern part of gaza. That is apparently where Israeli Forces will be targeting, they have been warning team to get out, but a warning people to get out, but a lot of people are staying, the biggest problem is humanitarian, with electricity, fuel, water and medicine, the civilians caught in the cross fire of what the hamas militants have been doing to israel. As numbers build. In the carnage of last weekend we know that 1400 have died on israeli side, and third american 30 americans, and 2700 palestinians have been killed, and 155 people held hostage by hamas, we know that according to washington, 13 americans remain unaccounted for, we know some are in grips of hamas, back here to northern israel. On sunday, we saw a very active day, we witnessed three our four defense incidents, with hezbollah clashing with Israeli Military. Hamas says excuse me, hezbollah says they are just warning strikes, they are not ready to start a war. And israel is saying the same thing, on the ground here, it certainly looks quite serious, and a big show of Israeli Military is making certain that they give a serious message to the militants. Jon one concern, greg has to be the rockets, hamas fired i think number is about 6,000 rockets into israel on the opening day of this war. Hezbollah supposedly has one 20 thousand . It would be very difficult for israel to respond to that kind of a barrage. Reporter i think that number is higher than that. In the hezbollah arsenal. These are rocky rocket to some degree come straight from tehran to hezbollah to hamas, we know from our reporting on ground, a lot of this stuff is homemade, it say deadly combination, hamas rockets has reached as far as haifa, airport on the coast here in israel. That was a long range iranianmade rocket. And the rocket fear also coming from hezbollah and that could be a real punch, but, for now, we have to under score that these are i tincidents but still serious. Jon greg palkot thank you. Many americans remain unaccounted for in israel as hamas claim morse hostages claims more hostages were taken. The u. S. Is in direct communication with israeli officials and families of the missing. We want to talk to leon, whose sister is among presumed hostages, thank you very much for being with us. Your sister was attending the super nova Music Festival, she was there to sell her jewelry. Told us what you know about what happened to her . Well, moran a beautiful person, a lifing person, someone that everyone loves, and care about, someone who spreads peace and love. She went to this peaceful festival, at the peak of her career. And saturday morning, it started she talked with my parents, and told them she is on the run with friends. And they are last call we got from moran was mother got it she told her, they are still on the run, and she was losing her battery. Later on we found out from a friend, they came home, they were on the run, a group of people. They were ambushed a few times, and they had to split up and that is last place where she was that we know of. Later on me and many other friends and family we searched the network and Social Networks to find more news, we found show she was kidnapped. And that is the what we know until now. Jon no contact from hamas or from moran . No, seven days, that we are still looking for information. But, no more information is coming. We are doing everything we have q to get as everything that we can. Jon the irony that Music Festival was to promote peace and your sister, was a peace loving woman. She was a peace loving woman, she likes to volunteer, every human, she loved animals and she was working in Animal Rescue for a long time. Always looking for something god do, always spreading words of peace. Love, and support, support everyone. It is very hard. Jon i imagine that you put your hopes in the fact that her nature and st desire for peace will help her get through this crises. I hope so, i hope she comes back as soon as possible. That is why i urge International Community to do everything they help us bring them back home, with the other innocent people that were waiting for them to come back home. And do whatever you can, this is a global matter, i think it is international issue. Not just israel. Tomorrow it could happen anywhere. Jon what do you say to those who are holding her . I hope they will do nothing to her. I hope they also will believe in good, i hope they also believe in the situation. We can build a better future. And i hope they can be also part of this good future. And could it start by releasing the innocent people to come back to us soon as possible. To moran, im saying, if she can hear me. If you can hear mark. Can you hear me, be strong, and continue to be positive, just think about big hugs well give you when you come back and know that were doing everything that we can to br bring you home. Jon lion, whose sister is held, presumably in gaza by hamas, we wish you well and we wish your sister well, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you very much, thank you. Jon fox News Washington correspondent Mark Merideth with latest on white house response to the crisis. Reporter it has been a busy weekend for President Biden, on the phone speaking out to israeli and palestinian leaders and he had a briefing from his National Security team as they lack for 13 americans who have been missing for over a week. The white house is still facing questions about what role if iran if any played in the attack, the president sat down with 60 minutes, he said so far Intelligence Community is not pointing fingers at iran. Is iran behind the gaza war. I dont want to get into classified information but to be blunt there is no clears e evident of that. Iran supports hamas and hezbollah, but in terms of it they have Fore Knowledge, or help plan the attack, there is no evidence of that atthispoint. Reporter today a high profile congressional delegation lead by Chuck Schumer visited israel, schumer said as a jewishamerican he was heart broken by what he saw on the ground. The bottom line is that october 7 is a day that will live in infamy, my guess is ill think of it every day for the rest of my life. Just as i think of 9 11 every day for the rest of my life. Reporter when schumer ands other lawmakers get to washington there will be on focus on what may need to come next, we have see mew nations makes it way to country from u. S. , there is a question about what congress will be able to do, because still paralyzed without House Speaker chosen, and one lawmaker said something has to be done sooner rather than later. We have not received any kind of request for authorization and 1 we do, it is an issue, either we have a speakero a speaker pro temp, we need to give that individual more power to spring things to the floor and carry out the houses business. Reporter which Congress Returns to discuss there will be focus on w what an aid package would look like, in last few minutes white house put out a statement from President Biden and first laid, Calling A Shocking and sickening attack in chicago area, a 71yearold man is accused of fatalling stabbing a 6yearold boy and severely wounding the boys mother, they were muslimamericans, living in the chicago area. And the attack white house believes of prompted by what shaped overseas. What happened overseas. The white house weighing in on a story well hear a lot this week. Jon the president has been talking about possibly going to israel. Do we know any more about when it might happen . And how likely that is. Reporter we have seen secretaries of state and defense make their way there and congressional delegation, go, atthispoint, President Biden is likely to head to israel at some point, whether it is this week is jet yet to be seen, house has said no trips atthispoint, that is a normal response from them. Israeli Prime Minister extended the invitation, and President Biden has taken a lot of steps to show he is ready to stand with israel. But from Security Situation it would present for administration, not something they could just snap their finger its takes time. Jon the trips are normally planned months in advancement you could imagine how secret Services Without have a lot of concern, mark thank you. You bet. Jon checking in with fox news contributor, chiron skinner, your assessment of what is going on outside of gaza, we understand that the israelis are expected to go in and make a full incursion into gaza, softening things up if you will with airstrikes, what will tip the scales and send them in . Well, i think preparation, and as we heard, this weekend, secretary of defense, said that there is a three demention alaal conflict. Israelis are known for being some of the best fighters in the world, they have called up over 300 thousand reservists. I think they are preparing for a level of really victory in this conflict that we have not seen in a long time. They have to win. For their survival. That is how they see it and many of us in United States sees it hamas on other hand, has a Tactical Advantage in gaza, in the sense it know the terrain very well and it knows building by building very well, using people as Human Shields, it will not be easy for the Israeli Defense forces, but they fought this k keep kind of conflict before, they know hamas, as well. They know what they are up against. Jon israel made it plain they dont need help from United States not bootses on the ground. They will take munition and intelligence. But more than a dozen of those hostages are americans. Is there a role for american troops to play in some kind of a Hostage Rescue Mission . Yes. And we heard some discussion about this in the last week from ambassador Robert Obrien our Hostage Negotiator during much of the trump administration, the u. S. Has to take care of its citizens, we have two Carrier Strike groups in the region with a massive show of force sends a signal were in this this protect american citizens and stand with our ally best friend, in the region. Israel. Jon we know what seal team 6 did in taking out Osama Bin Laden. They had months to rehearse and you know they built a model of his c compound. They would not have that kind of preparation in a situation like this. Which does give you pause, as to whether or not American Forces could or should be involved. And also, in in addition to what you said there is the issue of tunnels and where are the people, this is a very difficult situation, let me shift a little bit, i think you know a lot of people are looking too far down the Game Tree Fbefore Israel has even puts it offe offensive forward, lets give this time, lets not make decisions for israel, i heard president of United States on 60 minutes say israel should note occupy gaza, this is not the time for that conversation. And if we want israel to do what is best for its nation, based on National Interest it has to have the opportunity to play this out. And so i think even on the u. S. Side, the fact that we have a secretary of defense, who is and our own president , who says, this is an important fight that we have to be with israel. That is the beginning of resolving hostage crisis, before we try to understand all dimensions of what u. S. Will do we need to get the story straight first. Israel has been attacked. Fundamentally, it has a right of selfdefense in the region Sthrk Say Conflict that now engulfed the entire this is a wider regional conflict. Given the nature of the attack, that is where i think that focus should be, we care about americans, we want them home, but all tied together. And how the United States even talks about israel, i think that is part of bringing americans home. Jon great point it was surprising to me to hear the president express some limitations th he thinks Kiron Skinner thank you. Thank you. Jon well be right back.

Jon threats against the worlds Jewish Population are escalating after the unprecedented attack by hamas, here, places of worship are on alert. We want to check in with israels envoy for combating antisemitism. You have only been on the job about three weeks when this attack took place. This is antisemitism in its worst form. What do you say to those who came after your people . You are right. It is antisemitism in its worst form and antisemitism that fueled More S Savage Barbaric Act that weve witnessed largest number of jews, burned and raped. Terrible things, and that is the result of that antisemitism that fuels it, but the response to it of that w weve seen over past week from denial to support to justification of the heinous war crimes, are no less worrying and. Those manifest to antisemitic attacks on jews in the world. Jon our tray yingst was there today when from idf forces showed some military equipment which has been seized from hamas after the terrible attack. But what i found unbelievable is they found documents as well instructing how to torture people. How to abduct people. What to do to the israeli victims. It turns the stomach. We have to be very clear. The kind of s savage Barbaric Inas you said, nonhuman behaviors that are attributed to genocidal terror, Hamas Charter actually clearly stipulates its full intention to annihilate the jewish nation state, and murder jews, that is its goal, that is what the instructions were for that, is what the weapons were intep intended to do. Piling children on top of each other, and tying them together and burning them as their parents are watching, israel incurred about 6,000 rockets over the last 8 days, 6,000 rockets each a double war dream, targeting israeli civilians in our beds, that is how we woke up last saturday morning from densely Populated Areas in gaza, using their own civilians as Human Shields as pawns, if you will in the war, having no regard for human life. And kind of savage behavior that weve seen the atrocities are unforgivable. They are the likes of what we know of, as the 9 11 understanding of what isis, is. They are the likes of the same ethos held in terms of antisemitism, that fuels that acts they are unmo unforgettable and unforgivable. Jon i want your reaction to the president s words. Tonig you cant very well decide in advance what the war on this kind of Genocigenocidal Terror would look like. It would save a lot of what may be israeli injuries to soldiers and so effort, there is no way to know how it will develop, i want to remind us all that hamas is a proxy of a gen genocidal regime in iran. And they threaten. The citizens that live up north who have been evacuated from their homes. And i dont hear anybody sort of making any kinds of comparison about the blocking of the evacuation of citizens from gaza, which hamas blocked from reaching the humanitarian corridor. This is a war on terror. This is a war on the likes of isis. This is the war on the likes of nazis, in world war ii, this is the war on the likes of post pearl harbor, there is no stipulation of how this will go, and the false Moral Equivalency we hear over and over that places israel and hamas on two sides, hamas does not respect the International Law or rights of its own people, it uses them as Human Shields and israel, has to be clear. Does everything to mitigate the damage to civilians, but whatever damage there will be there is one soul responsible entity that is sold responsible entity that is hamas. Jon israel warns people to get out of the area that will be militarily attacked and hamas telling them to stay put, hamas wants the casualties. Michal thank you. Thank you very much.

There is a l a lot of military here, 3 se. 360 thousand reservists have been called up. A number not seen in decades. You have as we have witnessed, tanks, artillery, apcs, Tens Of Thousands of troops ready for a ground incursion, which has been flagged on sunday by Israeli Defense force officials as a likely option in the coming days. As you noted, in gaza, a very serious situation. Humanitarian crisis, brought on by the hamas militant attacks. One break possibly, negotiated with egypt. Opening of the rafah crossing, that is from the southern part of the dpaz gaza strip to egypt there is a chance for humanitarian supplies to come through monday, and a chance for duel nationals like americans and others inside the gaza strip to get out. That could be a break as we watched the situation here too. Skirmishes, all day on sunday between hezbollah and israel. A lot of different fronts operating here, just sharp incidents but strong stuff. Jon lets hope they remain at the skirmish level and not get any worse. Greg palkot thank you. Across israel families are holding out hope for safe return of their kidnapped loved ones. Hamas fighters say, they are holding over 130 people captive in locations across gaza, following last weekends brutal attack on southern israel. 15 of those kidnaps are believed to be u. S.

For anyone who has influence in the world like u. S. Government or other governmenting on give us some kind of information about their whereabouts and safety. Jon now organization, red crescent nobody is able to get an accounting of the hostages . We like the rest of the israeli families, heard nothing from the International Community yet. I know my family met with the German Government last week. When they came to israel to hear the stories. But so far no sponsor information whatsoever. We just learned from few days ago that my aunt partner was found alive in gaza strip. As a picture on the New York Times by a palestinian reporter. This is how weve been trying to get information, we have no other organizations but the Israel Government confirmed their hostage situation, and were just waiting, they daybyday, raising awareness, in the world, here in u. S. Alongside with our brothers in the u. S. Citizens who were killed. And still held hostage. It has been just you know daytoday struggle. As a family to daily needs of family that try to go to work, and keep normal lives. It has been a struggle so far. Jon it is believed that hostages are held in gaza probably in the under ground tunnels. That honeycomb throughout under the city. Given that situation, i mean the fact that israel israel Defense Forces are ready to go into gaza, that must give you heart and make your heart sink at the same time . It is true, a very difficult place to be in. One hand, i want their safe return back to us. How we just dont know. About what is the pran, i know there is a lot of talks, in the background. Between d diplomats and people and european countries, a lot of is thes are involved in this citizens are involved to spring some kind of information, knowing that military is about to Interthe Gaza Strip is to provide the safe and peace of the southern communities in israel. Which is very crucial. With that said, we just dont know how far our are they, my family and my loved ones are in those tunnels or how can they get out of there. We is a big unknown factor, were hoping to hear anything, any signs of life will be much appreciated. Were asking those leaders for to reach out to the hamas leadership and demand the immediate return of all of the kids, the babies. The women. The elderly, the sick, the injured. Without no conditions back to their loved ones in israel. And before anything else is put on the take table. Jon how older the little girlgirls. 2 1 2 and 4 1 2, they are spending Holiday Weekend with my aunt, they woke up to this horror to this nightmare, we are all a part of it now.

Jon looking at potential threats in this country, Border Patrol al agents confirm a fourthi Iranian Special interest alien was apprehended this month in eagle pass, texas. We go to former department of Homeland Security adviser chuck m moreno. The customs and Border Patrol people say there has been an uptick in number of special interest aliens. Po. People from those country have been arriving here in record numbers, chuck, why do you think that is . They have, because they have an open invitation from the Biden Administration to exploit the Le Legal Pathways and other ways to country and not be held a accountable, we have 70 thousand plus. Special interest aliens to date under this administration. Majority without ability vet them, have been let in to the United States department of Homeland Security has no idea about their whereabouts or who are why they are in the country, fbi director, acknowledged the uptick in threats here based on what is going on in middle east. If he is concerned enough about it to bring it up to every police chief, across the United States, i would say we have a serious threat problem evolving here. Jon think about it more than two decades ago Osama Bin Laden and his people planned the attacks on 9 11. They had to enroll their stooges in Flight Schools here to get them in. We have a situation where we dont know who is here, or when their purposes are. We dont. And you know, the president said during his 60 minutes interview, this weekend he has been briefed on the uptick in threats by department of Homeland Security, and fbi. And other staff, i assume National Security. Yet, i was disappointed he didnt finish the is i since the sentence, it should have been were changing what were doing at Southwest Border and well enforce the law, and try to locate these people in the United States but that is not what he said, he did not mention anything about Southwest Border, that tells me they still down understand it say problem to our overall Homeland Security.

Jon many new developments as war between israel and hamas entered the 10th day, including prospect of a second front opening. Lets go to Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent greg palkot on the ground at israellebanon border. Were here. The full day sunday, we saw various skirmishes between Israeli Forces and hezbollah militants on the other side. Lebanon border is about a mile behind us. Skirmishes, i say not a fullscale war yet. But, serious enough to result in one death of an israeli, several injuries, and casualties on the other side of the border. This is a new week. It is early monday here. All eyes focused on the next move with Israeli Defense forces down south around gaza strip. 360 thousand reservists, 170 thousand standing army. All of that mobilized with gear, a lot of lethal weaponry. Secretary of state Antony Blinken set to arrive here today, he has done round robin visits in mid east, when will we say, probably give feedback about what the rest of the region is talking about. And offer support, and maybe some ideas about how to relieve the humanitarian crisis inside of gaza strip. As it has been hit by israel, and civilians have been caught in the cr cross fire, some indications there could be humanitarian supplies coming from egypt. Maybe some people allowed out, back to you.
