The suspect, their Landlord Police say he targeted them because of their muslim faith and the israelhamas war the hate crime charges he faces our Special Edition of nightly news begins now. Announcer this is nbc nightly news with lester holt reporting tonight live from israel. Good evening from israel as hamas Rockets Streaked over tel aviv tonight, Warning Sirens briefly interrupted delicate highlevel talks to dial back the israelhamas war and there is late word that President Biden may travel to israel as early as this week. Secretary of state Antony Blinken already on the ground here tonight leading the push for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis meeting with Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet, the group forced to take shelter twice after Rocket Alerts sounded the u. S. Tonight also pushing for the opening of egypts Border Crossing with gaza to allow americans and others to leave gaza and allow vital supplies into the territory with israel postured to wage a fullscale Ground Assault at any time in gaza, hamas has posted video of an israeli woman it claims is one of the hostages it holds and says it is prepared to release nonisraeli hostages if conditions allow. In a moment part of my conversation with the man who successfully negotiated a Prisoner Release with hamas years ago. Its where we start tonight. Tonight the first video of a hostage held inside gaza, released by hamas. In it 21yearold mia schem asks to be brought home as soon as possible and says shes being given medical care its unclear if shes being forced to make the statement. Meanwhile, a hamas leader says nonisraeli captives will be released from gaza if conditions allow. Hamas is holding 199 hostages according to the Israeli MilitaryGershon Baskin negotiated with hamas to secure the highprofile release of israeli soldier gilad shalit in 2011 he says hes been in contact with hamas every day since the attack whats the best approach to even open a dialogue with hamas . The best approach is understanding that it cant be directly done by israel to start a dialogue with hamas we have to understand who can do it and the ones who can do it are the countries that have influence over hamas, which are qatar, turkey and egypt and iran reporter baskin says theres a small window of opportunity to make a deal to release hostages its a matter of days, probably a week before the Israeli Ground forces go into gaza thats when the window for negotiation closes but that means that hostages are sacrificed it means that hostages are going to be tried to be freed and they might be sacrificed my sense of the pulse of the israeli public right now, the government and the military, is that the primary objective today is to remove hamas from its ability to govern. And that means that hostages may be sacrificed this hurts me so much to say, that the hostages might be considered additional casualties of the war for israels survival. Reporter it comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity. Three u. S. Officials tell nbc news President Biden is strongly considering a trip to israel as early as this week, while Secretary Of StateAntony BlinkenMinister Netanyahu and his war cabinet for hours today.
