Its free, but you have to pay shipping. Emily no doubt its a knockout book. Thanks to everyone for watching. Here is america reports. Shame on you shame on you from the river to the sea. Palestine will be free. Sandra war rages on in The Middle East, and waiting two major briefings as we begin a brandnew hour here from the Biden Administration on how it is responding to the war between israel and hamas. John, great to see you and your continued coverage on the ground there in israel. John good to see you there as well, sandra. Im john roberts in jerusalem. This is america reports. The State Department Set to give an update on their he have reports to rescue the hundreds of americans trapped in gaza as well as the unknown amount being held hostage by Hamas Terrorists. That briefing will be followed by the pentagon which continues to deploy more Military Assets to the region to aid israel and deter the iranbacked Terror Group Hezbollah from opening a second front in the war. Sandra all of this, john, ahead of president Bidens Oval Office primetime address to the nation that is expected to happen tonight where he will lay out his request for congress to approve Emergency Funding for additional Military Assistance for both israel and ukraine. John we have Fox Team Coverage across the globe and Breaking News from The Middle East. Start with trey yingst live on the ground in southern israel. My alarms have been going off all afternoon. You have seen and heard explosions all day where you are. Whats the latest . Yeah, john, absolutely. Two active fronts, both in the north and the south of israel as the military here waits for orders to enter the gaza strip. Today we join the Israeli Military in the community that sits less than a mile from the gaza border. You can see as the israelis were Launching Airstrikes along the strip. Take a look. You can hear those israeli airstrikes along the gaza strip. What you are looking at there is gaza. This city is less than a mile from the border. Militants were able to walk into this Quiet Community last saturday, slaughtering so many innocent people in their homes. Today israels Defense Minister and the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to the southern part of this country. They were meeting with different troops, trying to determine the level of preparedness for these forces as they wait for those orders. The Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, making this statement in front of the press. Take a listen. Im here with the golani fighters, come from all over the country. Fought like liones, and fight full force, we will give the blow to our enemies so we get to victory. Victory. We joined the Golani Brigades earlier this week, showed us tanks and apcs preparing and waiting for when the day does come. And new information from the israelis telling fox news they are worried about the possibility of Palestinian Militants still being here in southern israel. They could be hiding in some of the communities or in the tree line along the border with gaza, so everyone does remain on high alert. Also comes as the military says 203 hostages have been confirmed. The families notified their loved ones are being held inside the gaza strip. This as the west bank remains very active, boiling there with more than 60 hamas operatives arrested overnight. We will follow the situation in the south but obviously the northern border a major concern for the Israeli Military as they brace for days, weeks, and possibly months of fighting. John and well be talking with the husband and father of two hostages in a couple of minutes. Trey, thank you. Sandra. Sandra our continuing coverage now to the northern border of israel with lebanon as fighting there intensifies and fears are growing that hezbollah and iran will open a second front in the war to the north of israel. Greg palkot joining us now along the border, has been. What is the scene on the ground there, what are you seeing and hearing at this hour . Greg active is a key word. Lebanon not far away from where we are. In recent days we have been watching israel duke it out with the iranbacked hezbollah militants as the whole region roils. Clashes spreading throughout the region. U. S. And israeli consulates and embassies, istanbul, lebanon, the palestinian, the arab street is upset about that Hospital Attack which they still believe was done by israel, even though israel denies it as well as the growing death toll. The Palestinian Death toll inside gaza and the destruction as israel goes after the blood thirsting, hostagetaking hamas militants. At the border, constant, albeit intermittent strikes and scrimmages between hezbollah and israel. About three hours ago witnessed some rockets coming over from the lebanon side here into this area. And hezbollah using rockets, missiles and mortars. As for israel, they have a big Military Presence here. We were with an Artillery Unit of theirs. Well show you more of that later in the day. They were getting ready. There was an alert while we were there because these rockets were getting in, they have been using artillery, tanks, airstrikes, you name it. Israel wants to keep this thing contained. So far, though, in the past five days, even if we talk about intermittent strikes, there are five Israeli Soldiers killed, 18 hezbollah and other militants killed as well. Just a reminder about hezbollah. It is in lebanon, it is powerful, it claims 100,000 fighters, claims 150,000 rockets. They made clear if israel pushes further in the south they will push here and they are an enemy to be reckoned with. For now, its calm. But even earlier today this is it an active, active war zone. Back to you. Sandra greg, highlight the video we are showing a moment ago, we have so much incoming every hour as we follow this war. That was new video at the israelilebanon border, clearly the mobilization, israels military might. Quite something to see there and my producers tell me this was taken earlier today, greg. Something to show that as its happening to our audience. Greg, thank you so much. Check in with you again soon. John nearly two weeks since Hamas Terrorists stormed the Israeli Border and hundreds of families are in the dark over the fate of their loved ones taken back to gaza by the terrorists. Our next guest, 17yearold daughter and wife were abducted and are likely among those waiting to be rescued from gaza. We are joined now from jerusalem. First of all, how are you making out, hanging in . Im dealing, im dealing with it on a daytoday basis. Every morning is a new adventure. You wake up and you realize what the situation is, that my wife and daughter arent next to me, they arent with me. So thats thats what existence is like now. And then i have to start dealing with the rest of the day. John you were living in kibbutz. No, my sisterinlaw lives there. John they were visiting . I was supposed to be with them but i had the flu and stayed home. John very near the south end of the gaza strip, i think shalom, only one kibbutz is further south. What was the situation as you understand it on october 7th . Around 6 30 in the morning the shelling started. I wasnt aware of that until about 8 30 when they started Shelling Jerusalem and i immediately turned on the tv and i saw that this had been ongoing since 6 30 in the morning. And my wife called me shortly thereafter and she was very nonchalant, business as usual, its not an uncommon occurrence. And she said to me yeah, they are shelling and we have the sirens, and we are just going to wait until its over and then we are going to come home. And my daughter was constantly in contact with me through whatsapp mostly, she said, shes very worried for me because she heard that they were shooting missiles over in jerusalem and i said im doing ok, how are you doing . They had our family dog with them and my daughter said the dog was very upset, she couldnt rest, she couldnt sleep because of all the noise and then she showed me around 10 30, sent me a picture of the dog sleeping and that was the last i heard from them. John still 10 30 in the morning because many of the hostages were taken shortly after daybreak, so this was going on for a long time. Do you have any of the idea how the rest of the residents faired . Some were killed, four others were taken. And thats about it. But i have to say that ive seen pictures of the interior of my sisterinlaws house and it was not nearly as bad as some of the other pictures ive seen of other settlements. Yes, there were bullet holes in the safe room door, looked more like a breakin than anything else. They did not burn the vehicles, they did steal my brotherinlaws car because it was brandnew. And i think this is they are close to the entrance to the kibbutz and people that live further in like my sisterinlaws divorcee were less affected. John President Biden was here in tel aviv and met with some families who have people who were taken. And we should point out we went to tel aviv the other day and there was an enormous wall of the missing thats been put up, established in front of the Defense Ministry there. So the president had a chance to speak with some of the Family Members of some of the folks who are missing. If you had had a chance to speak with the president , what would you have told him . The only thing i can say, it would be hard for me to picture what i would say to President Biden, but basically is just i want my family back, i want my wife back, i want my daughter back, i want my brotherinlaw back, i want my sisterinlaw back, my sisterinlaws life partner back, i want my dog back, and i want my security back. I want my peace and quiet back. John how do you get back peace and quiet . Thats a good question. Its not one i can answer. Im not of that i dont go in that direction. As far as solving the issue, i just know that i need the solution. John moshe we are playing along with you and hope you get your family back. Thank you so much, its been a pleasure. And thank you for letting me speak. Sandra incredible story there, john. Meanwhile, this is the split screen of the hour screen left, state department briefing, set to begin any moment now as concerns grow over how the president plans to bring home those americans held hostage there in gaza by hamas. Well have an update on their efforts. Screen right, a Pentagon Briefing that will happen shortly after that. Well take you to both of those live updates when they happen, john. John Alarming Development in lebanon with hezbollah saying its 1,000 times stronger than before. We will go to the touch screen on their latest posture as fears grow they will mount a Second War Front Against israel. No incentive to stop this low intensity war, people getting killed and this low intensity can turn into a high intensity battle in a second. Because tmobile helps pano ai innovate, so they can stop the spread of wildfires. Nows the time to see what americas largest 5g network can do for your business.

Oh, and all on the most reliable 5g Mobile Network nationwide. Wireless that works for you. Its not just possible. Its happening. Hezbollah and iran will be joining this war. The u. S. Is new ramping up its presence in the Eastern Mediterranean sea and sending another warship, as we know, the u. S. S. Mount whitney to the region. Joining us is dave sears, former navy seals troop commander. What does all of that tell you we ramp up the presence, what are we preparing for . Well, i think some is just precautionary. I think your last guest described, it could be an easy powder keg that expands beyond israel, into the whole region. So you want to have forces that are in place prepared, you dont want to have to send them later. So right now its sort of just preparation and making sure they are prestaged. I want to take you to the touch screen here, dave, our viewers appreciate when we can take them through the geography of the moment and obviously the focus on the screen here is the attacks into israel from lebanon and the focus on israels northern border here. Just to sort of give you what we have seen in the last 24 hours or so, dave, and please add to this what you know and any perspective that you can add. There was a recorded 20 attacks from lebanon into the israeli territory yesterday alone. That was double the number of attacks on tuesday, october 17th. Ok, so they are ramping these attacks up. They targeted locations across the entire length of the northern Israel Border with lebanon. You can see them targeted here, antitank fire in the blue, the Evacuation Zone is in the red. Remember, dave, that sent a huge signal when israel said get out of that area. Green is the mortar attacks, and the Rocket Attacks are in the lighter red, the orange area there. Nine rockets, militants targeted nine rockets at this area alone, ok. Also militants launched an antitank Guided Missile for metula, for the fourth consecutive day. To give the idea where they are concentrating these attacks. What can you tell us about the continued threat at the northern border there . Yeah, they are going to continue to kind of probe that border, they are Firing Things to either break down some infrastructure the israelis have or just test israeli response to see what can we shootout there, how are they going to respond, what are they going to respond with. Some avenues are avenues of approach that are valleys that allow for them sort of access to break through Ground Troops if they want to. Hezbollah is not as strong in terms of Ground Troops. They claim a lot, 100,000, it could be anywhere between 50 and 100. They dont have the tanks, some tanks are in syria and places like that. But they dont have them necessarily in lebanon. So Ground Incursion, they are kind of probing and testing. Israel has total Air Supremacy in that region, hezbollah cant deal with israels fighters or helicopters very well, so israel is going to kind of hold its ground for now and see whats going on, strike back at some locations, but its, right now its a lot of probing going on. Sandra as far as that comparison you just made, hamas to hezbollah, this is important and the fox Research Team along with the state Department Data dig into the numbers here and we have them on the screen. Hamas estimated 30,000 fighters. Rifles, rocket propelled grenades, antitank missiles, they have those capabilities. You are looking at 100 million in funds per year from iran. Estimated, compare those numbers with hezbollah. Its estimated about 100,000 fighters, dave, 150,000 rockets and missiles at their disposal, and 750 million in funds per year from iran. I mean, you look at the military might and the capability of hezbollah versus hamas, and it is a stark difference. It is, and its hezbollah is very comparable to a lot of arab nations armies in reality without the air power. Air power is a big thing. But remember, too, regardless of the numbers, hamas and hezbollah are completely different fights. Gaza is completely urban fight. So having 30,000 fighters in there, tunnels and arms, that is a challenge in its own, that whole urban area. Civilians mixed in. Hezbollah is more open terrain, and more of a, can be more of a conventional sort of fight. So numbers way down. Two different strikes, they have the same goal to wipe out israel but they have to have two different strategies for north and south. Sandra great point when you talk about the urban on the Ground Warfare in gaza when it comes to hamas, compared to looking at the northern border with israel and lebanon and the threat from hezbollah. Dave, really appreciate you joining us. Dave sears, thank you. Thanks, sandra. John sandra, former President Trumps lawyer Sidney Powell, 1 of 19 defendants named in the indictment. Matt has more and how influential was powells role in this case . You may recall Sidney Powell became one of the more visible players in former President Trumps 2020 stolen election claims, she stood alongside Rudy Giuliani and claimed that trump lost the 2020 election in part due to a worldwide scheme involving countries like venezuela. Well, today here in Superior Court in atlanta, she pled guilty to reduced Misdemeanor Charges in the criminal election interference case brought by Fulton County d. A. Fani willis in august. 1 of 19 codefendants, including former President Trump who pled not guilty. The trial was set to start tomorrow. Today pled guilty to six charges, conspiracy for intentional interference, six years of probation, fines and restitution to the state and will issue a Written Apolicy to the people of georgia. Powell will also be required to testify at future trials which might not bode well for her codefendants, including former trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. Powell and attorney ken chesebro asked for a speedy trial separate from the larger group and questionable how the guilty plea will impact other defendants like trump. The case here in atlanta is 1 of 4 ongoing criminal indictments against former President Trump. John see how this develops. Matt, thank you. Sandra a Volunteer Medical Group is helping israelis rebuild their lives in the wake of the deadly war but hit with targeted cyber attacks.

John israelis are working to recover and rebuild their communities in the wake of this deadly war with the help of a volunteerbased medical organization, united hazala, responds to Emergency Situations in minutes, sometimes on motorcycles and is free of charge. The president and cofounder joins us now. Good to see you. Thanks for coming in. Thanks for having me. John what was your job on october 7th and what is your job to this day . We are Immediate Response organization. A Volunteer Organization in the community, so spread everywhere. We are a crowdsourced volunteer. If you think of uber, but for lifesaving and we come for free. So we have volunteers all over the gaza strip area, any kibbutz, we have trained people who are paramedics or emts and whenever someone is choking, having a heart attack, they are the first ones to be notified to respond there in 90 seconds and save peoples lives. 6 30 our lives changed. 6 30 on friday, october 7th. John your system must have just lit up. Started coming from all over. Calls from mothers who are saying we are hiding and they are terrorists outside, started getting phone calls about missile attacks, started getting calls about shooting everywhere. It was a disaster happening literally 6 30, a quarter to 7 00. I got to the command center, which is in jerusalem, and i was shocked. We had all our dispatchers answering phone calls from different areas. All of a sudden we get a call about one of our volunteers in sderot, responding on an ambi cycle, and he sees 20 terroristses and he has a pistol on him, hes a paramedic, he pulls out his pistol, holding the handle and he just shot four terrorists, one of them he was able to eliminate and they shot him back, hit him on his face and leg and arm and i realized being a dispatch, hearing all these incidents happening everywhere, hes yelling a war, a war, war, i was like what are you talking about a war. It wasnt a terrorist attack, it was a war. John oh, my god. And what happened to him . He was seriously injured. Luckily another volunteer who came arrived at his car and then the volunteer who came didnt even know him, it was so bad, he thought it was a shooting and then he got bullets all over his car, he ran away but threw his bag with medical supplies towards chaim, the volunteer injured, he took bandages to stop the bleeding on his face. John so he survived. He survived. John unbelievable. Your organization is a shining example how things can be done in israel. Its jews and christians, and muslims, all working together for a common cause. Thats extraordinary here. Yes, and even now we have 700 volunteers who are muslim and they are working together with the jews. All over israel and unfortunately we lost a couple volunteers, two volunteers were brutally murdered, brutally murdered, one of them was a muslim volunteer from nazareth, the city of nazareth, the famous city, he was an incredible paramedic, a young guy, who came to help at the festival, he was a standby paramedic in case something happens, you know, sometimes people faint, so we always send paramedics. John he was there is he super nova. He was there all night, and in the morning when they started shooting, he ran over to a girl who was shot four times trying to save her life. And hes a paramedic, and he saw the terrorists coming towards him, he didnt run away. He was trying to save her and when they caught him, they started shooting in his legs first, realized he was an arab and they tortured him for a long time. We found him and the condition we found him, couldnt even recognize him. That was the first volunteer murdered and the second volunteer came from a jewish city and he was fighting, he came with medical supplies but then he realized this is a war going on, so he started fighting the terrorists and unfortunately he didnt make it. John so the Hamas Terrorists when they discovered he was an arab, they didnt let him go, they tortured him to death . Tortured him more than others because they looked at him as a traitor. He was wearing the jacket, and we actually had a third volunteer who was saved, a doctor from a bedouin city, driving to the hospital, and he got the call like everyone else, we get a call, we dont ask questions. We were there in 90 seconds. Gets the call about a shooting on a highway, and he gets there, and he sees cars like, he didnt understand what was going on, he went out of the car and shooting towards him, he starts yelling in arabic, he knew it was terrorists, he screamed in arabic, stop, stop, im an arab, they realize hes an israeli arab, saw his vest, he had the exact same vest, and they hung him on a pole, tied him on the back of a lamp pole and just for nine hours he was he was stuck to the pole, they were shooting near him, they said to him we are going to show you how we kill he jews, he was a doctor saving people. And for nine hours he was traumatized, we found him hours later, we thought he was killed because we found his jacket, his hatzalah vest full of blood nearby and thought he was dead. We found him, a total of eight people who were injured, volunteers, two were kidnapped with their spouses, and two were murdered. John horrible stories and yet they still go out in harms way every day. And we are still there now. John israelrescue. Org, you bought 15 million of medical supplies in recent days but greater need. Thank you for coming in and sharing the horrific stories. What happened when you face terrorists. And i have gratitude to the American People watching us. Israel would never be able to fight our enemies if we didnt have our brothers and sister who are protecting, praying, supporting, and continue supporting and praying. John eli, thank you so much. God bless you and your organization. Look on israelrescue. Org, support united hatzalah. Sandra john, thank you. U. S. State department has issued a statement advising all u. S. Citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution due to what it is saying is increased tensions in various locations Around The World. Potential for Terrorist Attacks and demonstrations or violent actions against u. S. Citizens and interests. Alert that came out in the last hour from state, advising all americans overseas to exercise increased caution. Thats a worldwide alert. The state department is now taking questions from reporters. Dip in here and listen. Arrest in russia of rfe journalist. Do you have anything to say about this . I do. We of course have no higher priority than the safety and security of u. S. Citizens overseas. We are aware of the detention of Alsu Kurmasheva in russia. The u. S. Provides appropriate assistance. We have not been officially notified by russia but have been tracking since may when the russian government seized her passports and prevented her from leaving the country. We have not made details public until now because we thought it was not helpful to the cause to get her to leave, but this appears to be another case of the russian government harassing u. S. Citizens, why we continue to have a level 4 Travel Warning and encourage all u. S. Citizens not to travel to russia for any reason. When you say they have there has been absolutely no Radio Silence at least so far from the russians about her case. Thats correct. And shes a dual citizen and the russian government has refused, has often in the past refused consular access when it comes to cases of dual citizenship. So, we will be seeking more information about the case. On to The Middle East and ill have one and then i have to go. Is there any update on the situation at rafa and in terms of getting humanitarian aid in and american citizens out. As you saw from the president say on Air Force One yesterday on his trip back from israel, he spoke with president sisi, and he committed to opening rafa to allow the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Ambassador satterfield met with officials from the government of egypt and israel today, in israel to negotiate the exact modalities by which we can implement the agreement the president secured. So over the coming days we i think what you will see, cant get in the exact timing, but expect implemented soon, details to go in and if rafa gate is open to allow humanitarian aid in, the american citizens in gaza who want to leave. Why is it only 20 trucks at this point . Do you have any firm agreement from the egyptians to allow american citizens to leave via the rafa crossing, do you have an estimate how many are trying to get out with that route . With respect to trucks, i dont want to speak what the exact agreement will look like, that is a matter that continues to be negotiated. That ambassador is on the ground negotiating. Israelis, as they have said publicly and Secretary Blinken said after we met with them for seven and a half hours to secure the initial agreement on monday, the israelis have very serious concerns about the diversion of humanitarian assistance. They are worried assistance that goes in will be diverted to hamas. We are working out an agreement to ensure that any deliveries can be handled appropriately so well continue to work on that. But what we have said publicly and what we have said to the Israeli Government is quite clear, we expect humanitarian assistance to be able to get in. We think its important the innocent civilians in gaza who did not start the conflict have access to food, water and medicine, the commitment from the president on down and the ambassador is working out the details as we speak. What is being offered to the egyptians to grease the wheels on this . We are not offering them anything. We are telling them we have an interest to get american citizens out, it is our interest, their interest, that humanitarian assistance be provided to the innocent civilians in gaza not a party to this conflict. Just to follow up on whats been agreed, talk about 20 trucks, up to 20 trucks allowed to go through the crossing. So limited to that, and then the crossing will close, or is the plan to open it indefinitely . We want sustained humanitarian assistance going into the gaza for the benefit of innocent civilians. The exact discussions about how we implement that are exactly what ambassador satterfield is engaged in now, i would not want to get to get ahead of those discussions. It is our section, our goal and working to secure ongoing assistance to innocent civilians. Why has it been so hard to get the israelis to agree. The u. N. Is involved, u. S. Can vouch for the fact this is humanitarian aid coming in, isnt it pretty obvious that 2. 2 Million People in the country, they are going to need more than this, but this is desperately needed aid. Why cant they just let it in . I think the concern the Israeli Government has, and said it publicly and privately to say, assistance will be diverted once inside gaza, there is not an Israeli Military force in gaza, or u. N. Peacekeeping force in gaza. The people with guns inside gaza are hamas. Hamas may try to divert the assistance and keep it from getting to the civilians who it is intended for. We think its a legitimate concern. We are going to watch carefully how its delivered because we want to be sensitive to the concerns which we share. But you dont have any way of making sure that happens. We are working on the mechanisms of the delivery for this assistance. Still in the region, alex. You mentioned secretary will continue diplomatic engagements. Next couple weeks and month, and does the secretary believe the Ground Incursion is something that israel will not be able to tackle . We are going to let israel speak to its Military Operations, its appropriate for them to do so. As the president said yesterday, when he was in israel, as the secretary said when he was in the region, both in israel and other countries, its important when israel conducts its Military Operations that it does so in a way that protects innocent civilian life to the maximum extent possible. That is the responsibility of any democracy, its what differentiates us from territory groups like hamas and your second question you have a second question. I reverse the order, actually. Hes, he hopes to achieve the same thing that we were have been working on since the outset of this conflict. Number one, to prevent the conflict from widening. Youve seen us as a government send very clear messages to other entities, hostile to israel. Both through the what the president has said, what the secretary has said, and by the fact that we have deployed two Carrier Strike groups to the region. We want to send a very clear message to other countries, or entities they should not enter the conflict. The second thing we are trying to do, secure the release of hostages. There are a number of americans who remain unaccounted for. We know some unaccounted for are hostages and we want to secure their release and continue to work diplomatically to get humanitarian assistance into gaza for innocent civilians. You said two carriers, strike carriers, eisenhower and gerald ford. Lets say hezbollah decided to enter the war from the north front. You said theres a clear message. Will the u. S. Be involved in the battle with hezbollah . Im not going to speak to im not going to speak to hypotheticals down the road. But our message to any entity hostile to israel is they should not enter this conflict and message to israel and the people are we stand with you and we will support you. One more question. Im going to get to everyone. State department on tuesday raised the travel alert for lebanon to not travel and also asked for americans to make arrangements to leave the country as soon as possible. Do you have any Additional Information about lebanon, and why you are asking to leave as soon as possible. We have taken that measure because we have seen events back up and say we are constantly assessing the safety and security of our personnel in every place where we operate overseas. Constantly assessing the safety of the situation on the ground so we can give appropriate Travel Warnings and appropriate guidance to american citizens. We took the step in lebanon, we have seen increased activity there that we thought warranted it. A number of protests around the u. S. Embassy for example, and then earlier today, we issued a worldwide caution alert where we advised u. S. Citizens due to increased tensions in various locations Around The World the potential for Terrorist Attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against u. S. Citizens and interest, the department of state advises u. S. Citizens overseas to exercise increased caution. American citizens, how many unaccounted for, how many confirmed diseased and any progress in discussions to get them released. 32 are deceased. 11 remain unaccounted for, with respect to the work to secure the release of hostages that work is ongoing. Its something we have spent a lot of time, the secretary himself was focused on it in the region and others inside our building, our department and other in the government have been worked on it but i dont think its productive to talk about the effort. Do you believe they are held in different place, understanding they have been moved . I dont want to offer public assessment of where they might be and the situation. With the worldwide caution alert today, can you confirm if its the third time it happened, the worldwide Caution System was advised . I dont know, ill be happy to check. And the military bureau, josh paul resigned, it appeared he felt israel had treatment with arms sales to idf we understand, we expect, we appreciate that different people working in this department have different political beliefs, have different personal beliefs, have different beliefs about what United States policy should be. In fact, we think its one of the strengthses of this government, one of the strengths of the department, we do have people with different opinions. We encourage them to make their opinions known. Its the president that sets policy but encourage everyone, even when they disagree with our policy, to let to make their leadership know. Secretary blinken has spoken to this on a number of occasions when he said he welcomes people exercising the dissent channel, finds it useful to get differences of opinion, he takes it seriously and causes him to reflect on his own thinking in terms of policy making. But with respect to the specific criticism that has been aired, we have made very clear that we strongly support israels right to defend itself, we are going to continue providing the Security Assistance that they need to defend themself. We think they have a right, not only a right but an obligation to defend themselves. Sandra we are going to continue monitoring the briefing live at the state department as they have issued a Statement Issuing worldwide caution as this war continues. The state department talking about the humanitarian assistance going into gaza. The United States stance is they want to see that sustained, although they say they are watching carefully, john, to see to make sure that any aid going into gaza does not benefit hamas. So there is a huge task there. All of this ahead of the president s Oval Office Address that is expected tonight. He is expected to make a roughly 100 billion aid request, john, to congress, that includes funds for israel as well as ukraine. Hes also appealed for israel to uphold the humanitarian standards of which he had a lot of questions on just now in gaza. He said the u. S. Would send 100 million in humanitarian assistance for the palestinian territories. Well see what the president says tonight on that. John making sure it gets to the palestinians and not hamas is definitely the biggest challenge with all of that. In the meantime, israels war to defeat hamas has united a nation that had appeared deeply divided in recent months over the governments judicial reform plan. Now an organization that had been leading protests against that reform is switching gears to help soldiers bracing for the fight of their lives as well as aiding the Hundreds Of Thousands of families displaced by the war. With so many people displaced by this war throughout israel, particularly in the area around gaza, the need for donated items, food, clothing and other things like that, is really, really high. So this organization, Brothers And Sisters in arms, is taking in donations from across israel and Around The World as well. The director of this operation, how many people do you think you are serving here . Hundreds of thousands, evacuated from the cities, the villages around gaza. John ashkelon, sderot. Absolutely, and those who hardly survived. From the kibbutz, the villages. There are some communities that out of 300, 30 are dead or kidnapped. 30 . So you have to take care of those communities wherever they are. We also feed the needs of the army with supply, and we are ready for any mission. John everybody here in israel has a personal story with the military, but yours is particularly poignant. Your father was a very famous pilot in the israeli air force, he was captured in the yom kippur war. Thats correct. My father was a Squadron Commander of 101, 2 days ago it was 50 years that his airplane, he jumped safe, arrived to damascus and he came he was exposed, according to what you can read, to the top, top secret of israel, related to nuclear, they torture him to death without revealing any information. John tortured him to death. So when you think about helping everybody displaced by the latest war, you keep that in mind . I keep that in mind. Not only that. Number one, i could not believe that 50 years later, that war, we lost my father, uncle and cousin, would be much more difficult and challenging case. And you can speak about 1,300 dead and 200 kidnapped. John how long will this operation need to be doing . Listen, i represent Brothers And Sisters in arms. We started the Brothers Movement nine months ago against the Justice Revolution of the government. At the moment that this war started we changed to be the leading aid organization. We have 15,000 volunteers. Here, but in many, many other location, in the south they are distributing for the needs for the houses, collecting people, collecting animal. We are serving the cows in the villages that left. We collected dogs of families that left them behind. We collected all the dogs. Its the best i could not believe. And personally, i cannot sit at home and watch news. I lost so many friends, i lost so many friends of my kids that if i sit at home, do nothing, ill get mad. John you feel like you have to give back. I have to, i feel that i have to do my best, at my age, 57, to serve my country and my people every minute. John judging by this operation you are doing your best. Thank you very much, sir. John hundreds are still recovering in hospitals after the hamas attack back on october 7th. Thankfully, israel has some of the most advanced Intensive Care Units in the world. I spoke with the ceo of one of israels largest hospitals on the current situation, and an amount of pain he says he has never witnessed before. Since last week about 200 victims.
