Good evening and welcome. Fastmoving events here in The Middle East to report tonight as we come on the air. President bidens highstakes trip to israel overnight has hit serious headwinds, with a planned Summit Meeting in jordan now called off his plan to show solidarity with israel following the Terror Attack here being consumed this evening by an attack at a Gaza Hospital that Gaza Health Officials say has killed several hundred people its rapidly overshadowing u. S. Led diplomatic efforts Palestinian HealthAuthorities Say the hospital was struck by an israeli attack. Israel says the hospital was hit by an errant missile fired by palestinian militants. But tonight, arab leaders are walking away from tomorrows planned summit with President Biden. Also tonight, a senior hamas leader claims to Nbcs Richard Engel the group is willing to turn over all civilian hostages it holds immediately if israel stops its Bombing Campaign but right now, President Biden flying to israel and flying into a hot war zone, where for another night, sirens signaled the hamas rocket attacks here in Central Tel Aviv but the president also steps into a diplomatic environment getting hotter by the minute we begin our coverage tonight with Richard Engel. Reporter palestinians call it a massacre and say an israeli air strike exploded at the Al Ahli Hospital in gaza city, a direct hit, where thousands of palestinians were taking shelter from israeli retaliatory strikes on gaza. Gazas health ministry, which is run by hamas, says hundreds are dead, bodies seen lying on the grass outside. The wounded were rushed to another hospital in gaza city. Young children are among the victims. There was an almighty Missile Shriek and then a big thud and the whole thing in the e. R. Fell on top of us. There are lots of children, very Young Children whose bodies were laying on the floor. Reporter this could be a tipping point, triggering rage across the arab world, just as the region is on the brink of a wider war. Israel quickly denied responsibility and said the explosion was caused by a palestinian rocket that misfired, launched not by hamas, but another Palestinian Militant Group in gaza. Many palestinians dont believe that protests erupted in the west bank. Jordans king calling it a heinous war crime, and President Bidens impending visit is now in jeopardy the leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, a moderate, left jordan, refusing to join President Biden for a peace summit in aman with other arab leaders. And now that summit has been canceled. Inside gaza, hamas is under pressure on monday, the top spokesman for the groups Military Wing claimed the group is willing to release an unspecified number of foreigners it took hostage during its attack in Southern Israel today, a senior hamas official told me that offer has expanded we are ready to release all the civilians, including the foreigners reporter all of the civilians, including the israeli civilians . Including the israel. Reporter im sorry. Can i just clarify this you say youre willing to release all of the civilians, including the israeli nationals, if there is a stop including the israeli civilians and all the foreigners reporter and what are you asking for in order to do that do you want the air strikes to stop . Is that the condition . Stop the aggression how can we technically, logistically, it is impossible to do it. Reporter so our viewers might hear that and say that this offer doesnt mean anything, that if youre not willing to carry it out, then it doesnt mean anything. How well, if you stop that aggression, it can be implemented in the next hour. Fascinating, richard. And there are real fears this Hospital Strike could trigger another escalation in this conflict. Reporter there certainly are, lester. There are protests scheduled tomorrow across the arab world. And watch israels northern border with lebanon, where clashes between hezbollah and israeli troops are intensifying lester Richard Engel tonight, thank you we want to get straight to Gabe Gutierrez now. Hes at the white house. Gabe, what more do we know about President Bidens rapidly changing trip . Reporter lester, President Biden just took off en route to israel, but right now, the white house is dealing with a major setback. Late today, the Jordanian Embassy said all parties agreed to the cancellation because, under the current circumstances, the summit would not achieve any of the goals it set out to. Its a dramatic change, because, just hours earlier, Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas had met with Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken in jordan tonight, the white house says the president is sending his deepest condolences for the innocent lives lost in the Hospital Explosion in gaza, and that he looks forward to consulting in person with the arab leaders soon lester Gabe Gutierrez at the white house, thank you. The fate of the hostages held by hamas in gaza, including americans, is a top priority for the president , as everyone here is awaiting a potential Ground Offensive targeting hamas. Tonight, while it launches new air strikes, the Israeli Military now says a Ground Offensive into gaza is not a certainty, as israel targets hamas for the massive Terror Attack that killed over 1,400 israelis the civilized world should unite behind israel in fighting and eradicating hamas. Reporter tonight President Biden leaving for the mideast on a dangerous trip into a war zone to show support for israel, to try to nudge open a humanitarian corridor to get desperately needed aid to civilians in gaza, and to try to prevent the conflict from engulfing the mideast, including iran, which arms and finances hamas, or iranianbacked hezbollah. Meanwhile tonight, 2,000 u. S. Troops are preparing for possible deployment to the region and with the potential of an Israeli Ground offensive, new fears tonight for the estimated 199 hostages taken by Hamas Terrorists and now held inside gaza like 21yearold frenchisraeli citizen mia shem, seen on this Propaganda Video released by hamas. Can you describe the moment that you saw mia in that video . Well, i started to scream and fell on the floor. Reporter its the first time mias mom karen has had any word about mia since she went to that Music Festival in Southern Israel, where hundreds of young concertgoers were massacred by hamas. When i saw her, i started to scream from happiness. Everybody came and we say whoa, and we were so happy and after everybody went home, i sat and watched the video, and i wanted to die, because i saw my baby so scared and so wounded, and this is the Worst Nightmare for every mother in the world. Does she look like the mia you know she looks pale. She looks very frightened she looks in pain. And she looks alone and scared the white house says President Biden will coordinate with israel on addressing the hostage dilemma, as pressure is growing on him to take action to free the americans being held by hamas. Believed to be among them, 23yearold hersh goldbergpolin how do you think he is doing . Hersh is not the strongest guy physically, but he has a very tough resilient mental makeup, and i keep pulling strength from that. I just keep saying to myself throughout the day, channeling messages to him, dont give up. I talk to him throughout the day and i say, we love you, be strong, survive. We love you, be strong, survive. Rachel and jonathan are hershs parents. He was last seen in this photo, there on the left, with a group hiding from hamas gunmen we want evidence that he is alive. Witnesses said that hiding place was attacked by hamas, and hersh lost his arm in an explosion incredibly, he was able to apply his own tourniquet he was then kidnapped by hamas we know he got on the truck himself without an arm, and thats it. Now, i dont know how to tie a tourniquet. I dont know how long it takes you to bleed out when you have a wound like that. He might have died in that truck he may have never made to it gaza we have no idea. This is not an easy question, but we all know that israel is making plans to invade gaza gaza is presumably where the hostages are. Is it your desire that the government would tap the brakes here and not move in quickly . Look, we are american israelis. So, were very well aware that israel needs to take action as the parents of hersh, were hopeful that the brakes are tapped a little bit before that happens. With the sides in this war so far apart, we wondered, is there any way for ordinary israelis and palestinians to find Common Ground to even Start Talking with each other in this tense and uncertain time tom llamas has that story. Reporter we traveled to jerusalem, to the old city, to ask about the new war. For centuries, muslims and jews have lived, traded, and prayed here side by side along these ancient steps. But could they spare a few minutes today to talk to one another . Would you be open to talk to someone jewish about this of course. Reporter were going to find somebody to talk. No, not now. Reporter why because tensions are very high. Reporter its too hot right now . Too, too hot. Way too hot. Reporter what do you think about the bombings in gaza whats the bombing in gaza . Theyre getting back what they sent us. Who doesnt feel for man, for somebody that their house was bombed of course we feel for them but we feel for us first. Reporter esther weiss is an israeli. She owns a jewelry shop in the jewish quarter. Hani imam, a palestinian merchant, who has a stand in the muslim quarter and though their businesses are a short walk from each other, their views of this war are a world away the problem is based on 75 years of occupation you cannot control people and treat them like animals you treat them like animals, thats why they became like animals. Its not true at all. Because the palestinians want to work and they stand in line to come and work in israel. Theyre getting water supply and electricity, guns. They get everything from israel. Theyre not in a cage. We do not go around bombing children and women. Thats unacceptable. Reporter so with that logic, the Hamas Terrorists were absolutely wrong as well well, first of all, i wont call Hamas Terrorists reporter the Hamas Terrorists that attacked last saturday. I would call them militia, you call them whatever you want. But if there is civilian casualties, i totally disagree with that. Reporter do you think those men are terrorists theyre not human beings i dont know what to call them. Terror is not enough reporter and yet, despite the animosity preventing these neighbors from even speaking to each other, if they did, they may actually agree on something what would you tell him so he understands your side . He has to open his eyes and see that we are people who want peace. Eventually there will be peace, but its going to take some time. It takes two sides to make things work. Reporter tom llamas, nbc news, jerusalem. In a chicago suburb, a vigil is being held tonight for the 6yearold Palestinian American Boy who was stabbed to death in what Authorities Say was a Hate Crime Hundreds of people attended wadea al fayoumes funeral yesterday. His mother also was stabbed but survived their landlord has been charged with firstdegree murder. In 60 seconds, speaker stalemate. The showdown in congress over the next house speaker. Late details right after this were back with the chaos on capitol hill the house still without a speaker, after the gops nominee jim jordan fell short of the votes he needs from fellow republicans and now, as ryan nobles tells us, jordans fight will stretch into another day. Reporter tonight, the congressional drama over the next speaker of the house continues. In the first vote of the day, the next man up, ohio congressman jim jordan, fell short of the 217 votes needed, with 20 gop members supporting other candidates jordan went to work behind the scenes to win over skeptical moderates still angry about the way former speaker Kevin Mccarthy was pushed out despite the setback, jordan saying he is not giving up. Until we get a speaker, we got to have a speaker and it cant be some deal with the democrats. The American People dont want that. Reporter but several of the members who voted against jordan warned they could not be won over, with some even asking for mccarthy to return we should go back to what we had, who was a great speaker, really good for our conference. Reporter jordans candidacy is controversial. He voted to object to the 2020 election results. On the floor, democrats attacked jordans record.
