World. Wolf blitzer is off. Im joe johns. Youre in the situation room. Its been a historic week in the middle east, but the ceasefire between israel and hamas was only a first step toward seeking a broader piece in a very volatile region. And now one of the crucial players in securing the truce is under fire in his own country. In egypt, weve seen huge protests against president Mohamed Morsi and the new powers he assumed just a day after the truce. Hes insisting hes committed to democracy, but opponents are calling him a dictator it could be a complication for the ceasefire between israel and hamas negotiations moving forward. Lets go to cnns reza sayah in cairo. Reporter joe, the coming weeks here in egypt are going to be fascinating when it comes to politics. Thats because there is an intensifying faceoff between egyptian president Mohamed Morsi and his opponents. Outrage aimed at mr. Morsi after the announcement of a number of controversial decrees earlier this week that give him sweeping powers. They make him at least temporarily the most powerful man in egypt. Also seems to be an effort to push through the allimportant drafting of the new constitution and putting in place the formation of egypts new parliament want. One of the decrees bans anyone, even the judiciary, from appealing, overturning, questioning any decision mr. Morsi has made since taking office in june. That order is to be set in place until a new parliament is formed. So technically, hes going to be the most powerful man essentially he can do whatever he wants, without any oversight. Thats one of the decrees, john, that has a lot of his opponents describing this as an undemocratic power grab. And do these changes affect both his creditics and opponents or just his opponents . Reporter well, look. Right now, the Political Landscape favors mr. Morsi and his Political Movement the, the muslim brotherhood, and certainly these decrees, when they went into place, make things look good for them taking power for the constitution, when its drafted to favor the muslim brotherhood. One of the decrees pushes through the drafting of the constitution. The panel thats charged to draft them is 100 members. Many of these members are liberals who are protesting the drafting of the constitution. Some have quit in protest and one of these particular decrees, mr. Morsi, says no one can dissolve this particular assembly. Theyre going to push through. And if this Assembly Stands the way it is right now, which is dominated by islamists, many of mr. Morsis critics will say the constitution will favor the islamists and sideline the liberal factions, the womens rights groups, the youth groups, the christians. Thats why people protested this week. John . Reza sayah reporting for us there in cairo. Thanks so much for that. Now to israel, where even though theres peace, millions of families there and in gaza are still dealing with the aftermath of the fighting. Cnns Senior International correspondent sara sidner joins us from jerusalem. Sara . Reporter joe, mothers, fathers and children all dealing with the aftermath, whether they have lost homes, been dealing with the trauma of having rockets coming into their homes. But there is a place where theyre being healed, a place thats really a zone of peace 4yearold joseph is listening to an ageold bedtime story but hes not at home safe in his bed. Hes in a hospital, a victim of an ageold conflict that has shattered his family life. He and his parents were staying inside this Apartment Building in southern israel when a rocket from gaza slammed into it. The blast sheered off several of josephs tiny fingers, badly injured his father and took his mothers life. She was among the first to die on the israel side of the border. She is saying, my mother is not here. Shes with god. He knows it will be a hard time, his grandmother says. Hard is putting it mildly. He has just been through a second surgery. Doctors at the Sheeba Medical Center at the hospital reattached four of his fingers, but in the end, they had to reamputate two of them. He lives in the south, and there are rockets all of the time in that area. Hamas doesnt think about where the rockets are going, she says. Reporter while joseph is being treated in this hospital room, one room away there is another child with the same kind of war injuries, except she is from the other side of the conflict. Shes from gaza. 8yearold bison lost Three Fingers when the war came to her home. Translator i heard the sound of a missile that hit. I didnt even have time to ask what happened, and then the second one hit. Reporter when the dust cleared, she could see the bones of her childs fingers in small pieces on the floor. She was taken to el Shifa Hospital in gaza, but it was too crowded and they couldnt give her the best care, so the family asked israel for permission to cross the border. Initially, her mother was terrified. Terrified at the prospect of people considered an enemy in their country putting their hands on her wounded daughter. Translator its a strange situation, and its my first time entering israel. I was afraid. But they treated me and my daughter in a very nice way, and i understand that medicine has nothing to do with politics. All the tension is blocked outside the hospital. Here there is an island of sanity in the middle east. Here we treat people who dont actually look where they are and what they do and what they did before coming here and what theyre going to do after leaving us. Reporter dr. Yafeh is treating both children. It will never be normal. It will affect her life from now on and his life from now on, and choice of profession and choice of hobbies and choice of a future partner for life. Everything. Reporter she has worked in this tel aviv hospital her entire career. Treating everyone from soldiers to suicide bombers. And the civilians in between. What is it in this piece of land that everybody is fighting about it all of the time . This is what comes to my mind, whether this is our eternity from now on, always have injuries on both sides . Always fighting . Whats the point . Reporter if there is a point, it is lost on a 4yearold boy and 8yearold girl from either side of the israelgaza border who just want to be children but now share a similar fate. Their innocence interrupted by a war they had nothing to do with. For the families and staff in that hospital, they say its just too bad that island of peace doesnt extend to the rest of the region. Joe . Thank you, so much. Thats sara sidner in jerusalem. We saw secretary of state Hillary Clinton play a very public role in helping to secure the truths between israel and ham hamas. And behind the scenes, president obama was credited with sealing the deal, and now theyre dealing with the question of what will happen next in egypt. Our White House Correspondent dan lothian is standing by. First to our Foreign Affairs correspondent jill dougherty. Theres concern about whats happening in egypt right now, jill. Reporter there is. Theyre watching it, joe, very carefully. The state department wants to have more details, because after all, remember, just this week, he was being referred mr. Morsi was being referred to as a statesman and there was a lot of responsibility put on his shoulders. He was praised a lot by president obama for coming through and helping to clinch this deal. Now if there is some question, if he could be taking some power that would concern the United States, they want to know more. And also dont forget that while secretary clinton was in cairo, just this past week, she was meeting with mr. Morsi and in those discussions, she talked about the constitution that they are writing, and about the concern that they want many different groups included, including women and others, other minorities, and most importantly, not to go back on one of the goals of the revolution and that was not to concentrate too much power in the hands of one person or any one institution. So there is some concern can. And dan lothian, lets talk a little bit about the president s involvement. It seems he was very involved, even though he was behind the scenes. Reporter youre right. The president was very engaged in the process, and remember, this was a week where the president was in southeast asia, focusing on Building Democracy there and expanding not only business ties but also military ties in the region. But the president working the phones to get this deal done is one official saying the president actually closed the deal in phone conversations, not only with Benjamin Netanyahu, which he spoke with him just about every day, but also with president morsi, spoke with him frequently, as well. In fact, the president left the summit to get a phone call with president morsi, told his advisers that if morsi called back they should wake him. He did call back at 2 30 in the morning. The president took that call. The president also speaking with him on returning to the United States aboard air force one. And so there were a lot of conversations that the president conducted behind the scenes on the phone. The white house giving a lot of credit to secretary of state clinton. But also pointing out the president played a very important role, joe. I would like to ask you both, starting with jill. Did we know behind the scenes there were very good chances of success in this when Hillary Clinton first set out on this trip, or was this more of a role of the dice . Jill . Reporter well, i think its kind of a combination of both. After all, the president had been on the phone, secretary clinton had been on the phone. And as you just heard, the white house is saying that basically the president , you know, clinched the deal. But in that part of the world, clinching is not a word thats used very frequently. So there was there was a lot that could have gone wrong, and i think for the future there are things that can still go wrong. These ceasefires, and there have been others, dont always last. And youve seen president obama jump fully into this, secretary clinton very directly involved in a way they havent been for quite some time. You know, in this middle east con nun drum. So down the road, how will this all turn out . Not totally clear. Dan, do you think the white house viewed this as a bit of a risk going into it . Reporter well, look, there is always a risk when youre dealing with this kind of situation in this region where youve had this conflict going on for so long. But there had to have been some indication it was moving in a positive direction or they probably would not have sent secretary of state clinton there to sort of seal this deal or get it all tied up. They did have these phone conversations that i pointed out, and the white house saying that the president developed sort of a relationship of trust with president morsi. And thats kind of interesting it, because you look back, it wasnt just a short time ago where the president was saying that egypt was no longer an ally. There were a lot of concerns about president morsis ties to the muslim brotherhood, and now you have them using words like this relationship of trust. So clearly, they had some kind of understanding that this was moving in the right direction. Now they believe this will be critical in terms of dealing with some of the big issues in the region in the future. All right. Dan lothian at the white house. Jill dougherty, thanks so much for that. The events of the past few days could change the course of the future of the middle east. Stand by for wolfs interview with israeli president perez.

Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Before the israelihamas ceasefire took place, wolf blitzer spoke to shimon peres, including the civil war in syria across the israeli border. Syria has a concentration of chemical weapons. Are they secure right now . Theyre under the control of assad. Im not sure they are secure. I wouldnt trust them very much. And they get missiles from iran. And some people say its okay. What do you mean, okay . Theyre not collectors of missiles. They fire them. They shoot them. Civilian life in tel aviv and jerusalem. The world must take a clear position. It is the israeli reaction, and shooting at israelis. After they left gaza. How long can they destroy any chance for peace . Whats the role of iran that is playing right now behind the scenes in gaza . Iran is competing with egypt. They want to win. Their chance is to have more extreme on the outside. So they support not only hamas, but also the jihad. Islamic jihad. Islamic jihad in gaza. So the Islamic Jihad forces them also to be more extreme. One of the problems in gaza is there is nobody to really there is a Competition Among four or five different groups. The sell afterists and the jihad and many other groups and theyre competing and iran is supplying arms to all of them. So who do you negotiate the ceasefire with . Look, hamas has to take charge, otherwise they dont have a future. Can they . I think yes. They dont have a choice. Not only them, but the others, too. If hamas wont take a position, the people in gaza will say to those others, stop it. What are you doing to . There are people in gaza too. And none of us want to see them suffering. It doesnt give us any pleasure. Well have more from wolfs interview with shimon peres in a little bit. Among other things, peres has some advice for everyone about staying active and vital when youre approaching the age of 90. Huge celebrations ron on the streets of gaza in the hours after the ceasefire was announced. Now a longer list of diplomatic winners and losers is emerging from the conflict. Thats next. Youre in the situation room. Were sitting on a bunch of shale gas. Theres natural gas under my town. Its a game changer. It means cleaner, cheaper americanmade energy.

But mattress price wars ends sunday, thanksgiving weekend, at sleep train. Sleep train your ticket to a better nights sleep ever since the israelihamas ceasefire took effect, we have seen huge victory celebrations on the streets of gaza city. But theres a much longer list of winners and losers. Here is cnns paula newton. Reporter however crude the calculation, especially amid the civilian casualties, there are winners and losers in this truce, and they are already reshaping political alignses in the region. We begin in egypt, and its president , Mohamed Morsi. Clearly underestimated, his deft handling of what is a mine field of competing interests has given him much needed Political Capital in both the arab world and the United States. First civilian president in egypt perceived as a weak leader has much to everyones surprise delivered. Reporter then theres israel and its tenacious prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. After israel targeted and killed hamas military leader, he launched air strikes, hitting more than 1,500 targets in gaza, dismantling some of hamas arsenal of weapons. And israel had a successful come bait debut of iron dome that kept rockets from hitting israeli civilians. But the Counter Point is ironic. Hamas emerges as a big winner from this conflict and its truce. Hamas has consolidated control over gaza and gained more legitimacy. Reporter in the eyes of the palestinian people, the militant leaders of gaza took on israel more boldly than ever before. Firing rockets further than ever before. And they may yet manage to get an easing of the gaza blockade if a more comprehensive deal can be done. Look what they have accomplished. They, rather than abbas, has put the palestinian issue back on the international stage. Reporter and that brings us to those who have lost much in this conflict. Mahmoud abbas and his fatah faction. The palestinian leaders were supposed to be the moderate peace brokers. Now they cant even claim to speak for all palestinians, and proved they have no leverage with hamas. This is not a good outcome for abbas and not a good outcome for the pursuit of a twostate solution. Reporter and always a player, irans hand is arguably weakened after this episode. Iron dome shot hundreds of its missiles out of the sky. What if israel attacks iran . Can it still call on hamas to retaliate . One week with one truce, with allies and enemies in the region have shifted again. And this will have an impact on any peace negotiations going forward. Paula newton cnn, atlanta. Hamas is touting itself as the big winner in the more than weeklong battle against israel, but it may have suffered a mainly gamechanging loss in the violence. Our brian todd is joining us now with details. Were talking about a loss of leadership here. Thats right, joe. You know the irony here is hamas loss at the hands of the israelis could also be israels loss. Last week they took out ahmed al jab re, the military genius, but a man who could have reined in radical militants during the cease fire. Hamas ability to hold up its end of the ceasefire depends on how much control it has over its most dangerous militants. That control might have diminished in the flash of an air strike, when Israeli Forces killed Ahmed Al Jaberi last week. You believe it was actually a mistake for israel to take him out, right . I do believe it was a mistake for israel to take him out. I think that the core objectives that were stated by israel for taking him out will not be met by his death. I think, in fact, it will lead to the proliferation of extremist groups and less control, actually, over rocket attacks and increased violence against israel. Reporter elizabeth owe baggy and other analysts admit, jaberi was a formidable enemy for the israelis but also was able to keep hamas most radical allies from attacking on their own. People are surprised there were people were in hamas jails for firing rockets at israelis. Not for the act of firing rockets, but for firing rockets at the wrong time and ahmed jaberi put them in jail. Reporter he was a leader unlike hamas had ever seen before. Driving the palestinian fatah faction out of gaza. He changed the military structure, after the hamas takeover turning this ragtag force into a mill litscha. Reporter organizing them into companies, battalions, brigades. And according to analysts and one official, he worked closely with iran to coordinate training and the shipment the of weapons to hamas, including those that can strike tel aviv and jerusalem. He was instrumental in the abduction of gee lad she least in 2006. He negotiated the release of shilit later in exchange for more than 1,000 palestinian prisoners. Now not having somebody like that, somebody who can be an enforcer of peace as well as an enforcer of war, can make it not only hard to reach a peace agreement, it can make it hard to avoid war, because whenever somebody decides to take a pot shot, they take a pot shot. Reporter so now all eyes will be on the surviving hamas leaders and whether they can bring those more fanatical elements of the group in line to keep some measure of peace within israel. It is believed that a man named mohamed dafe who worked behind the scenes, the public face of hamas military leadership has at least taken jaberis place, but he himself is physically impaired by two assassination attempts by the israelis and its not clear how much control he has. Joe, this is possibly a leadership vacuum militarily for hamas. Brian todd. Life in a war zone, blitzers debrief Anderson Cooper on his experienced reporting from gaza.

[ male announcer ] bob has afib Atrial Fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. I dont think so.

Xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesnt require routine blood monitoring. Like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afibrelated stroke. There is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. No routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. New zealand xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. And with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. Stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. Get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop.

Anter son cooper is here in jerusalem. You spent the last few days there. What was it like . Its obviously intense. You cant help but go there and notice there is no such thing as regular life. And shops are closed, people are hiding indoors. And its, you know, for everyday people, they just want it to end. Theyre not necessarily hugely supporters of hamas, even though hamas was democratically elected. Theres a lot of people who just want a solution, and want the to get on with their lives and be able to feed their families. Unemployment is ridiculously high, 40 . It could be a great city, a coastline, beaches, and yet it is theres just no such thing as regular life. So when we see them on the streets right now with celebratory gun fire, so happy, theyre smiling, theyre relieved this is at least for now over. To even relieved to be out of their homes. I have not seen those streets crowded like that. There was streets were virtually empty at night. You could drive if you drive at all at night, extremely fast. And, you know, you never know where a rocket is going to go, because you never knew where hamas may be, where they have an installation, where they have an office. And i think one of the most disturbing images i saw and i want to warn viewers, we have images well show you, but it is very disturbing to watch. A group of hamas men on Motor Vehicles dragging the body of an alleged collaborator down a main street in gaza city. An israeli collaborator. Allegedly, yes. Palestinians somebody they accused of working with the israelis clearly, israel has a network of spies who give them on the ground information. That helps them in their targeting, you know, tracking peoples movements and who owns what houses. But to see this person being dragged down a main street while these men on motorcycles are yelling god is great and yelling out that he was a spy, it brings home that this is a place that, you know, there is not a rule of law, and it is its obviously, you know, the divisions are very clear. We saw explosions, literally not far away from you. We saw you ducking. We saw ben wedeman, arwa damon, sara sidner. They were close to you, these bombs. Very close. We were standing in front of an open window like this and you could feel the shock waves through your body sometimes. The windows would rattle, the building itself would shake. And were talking, you know, a block away, two, three, four, five blocks away. And its startling. Ben wedeman is made of sturdier stuff than i and was able to stand there without ducking as i did did. But it really brings home to you what its like for gazans. Can only imagine the terror these people are feeling. Right. And they have nowhere else to go. Im able to leave. There for three nights, able to leave and back here now. They dont have any other place to go. When you got out, you got out through a crossing into israel. Right, a very laborious process. Tell us about that. Because its very restricted. Yeah, it is. You give them the hamas official your passport, he writes it down in a little spiral notebook, thats about it, no stamp or anything. You take a series of taxis to the border, where you get out, and you go through a series of checkpoin checkpoints, where you dont theres no people you interact with, because theyre afraid, obviously. Israeli officials are frightened or concerned about people bringing explosive devices in, so its a stepbystep process. Theres all these surveillance cameras around. You lay out all your bags, they get a sense of who you are. They electronically open a door. You walk into another room and move all your bags into that roomthey get a closer look at your bags on the ctv camera. You take off your belt, go through you put your bags on a giant conveyor belt, a giant xray machine, they disappear. You then basically strip down, your belt, several metal detectors, full body scanner, and youre gradually systematically allowed to cross over into israel. They then hand go through all your bags. The israelis do. At gunpoint going through your bags, very methodically, very carefully, after its been through xray machines, every piece of equipment is gone through. They then hand it back. You get your passport stamped and youre on your way. And all the while, you hear rockets going off very close by in some cases, some being fired from israeli positions, some fired towards israel. So its not as if theyre a United Nations personnel monitoring this border crossing. No, its a very surreal system where you actually dont run into any human beings for several steps of the process. Its all done through surveillance cameras, through doors being electronically opened for you and gradually, you know, as the closer you get with each door you go through, youre one step closer towards israel and one step they have examined you one step further. Its a fascinating system to see up close. Yeah, but at some point, and you were there for what, three, four, five days . Right. Must have been scared out of your mind. Youre definitely in a heightened state of awareness. I wouldnt say scared, because ive been in a lot of areas over the years. But its always shocking to see the conditions that people are forced to live in, in a war zone. And to see what life is like for somebody who is the only difference between them and myself is the accident of birth and what zip code they were born into, and what that has determined what their life is like and what their ability is to get a job and to move upward. Now, youre constantly hearing shells going off, rockets its loud, thunderous noise. Could you get any sleep . Yeah, actually ive been in, you know, starting way back in sayer of a owe, and after a time you ignore it, you cannot g let it get to you, because youll be paranoid. Unlike sayer of ao unlike whats happening in syria where Bashir Al Assad is indiscriminately lobbing shells, there is targeting involved in where the israelis are striking. You can make arguments about whether its effective or not or people will take me to task for this, but even gazans will tell you, i stood with many gazans watching bombs go into buildings, and they were taking pictures. They had a sense of this is not indiscriminate shelling, there is a specific target, whether its the correct target, whether women and children are going to get killed in the process, that is going to happen. But its not that sense of, you know, indiscriminate. The flip side of that is, you never know where a hamas or an alleged hamas person may be. Where they may have an office in a building like this, where, you know, do they have an office on the floor below you . You dont know. And so Israel Considers that a target and so theyre going to if they fire missiles into your building, you can can very easily get killed. One final question. Did they have any clue when you walked around the street, you were wearing body arrest more and a helmet. Do these folks know who you are . Some people do. Is cnn in gaza . A lot of people didnt have electricity, some people have satellite dishes, theyre able to see it. But, you know, i actually dont you try not i actually didnt wear body armor all of the time. I saw some pictures of you wearing it. Yeah, in some cases you would wear body armor, other times you didnt. A lot of it had to do with i was interacting with people, just regular people, i generally dont wear body armor, because i think it sends the wrong message if im asking people to tell me their story, i feel like i should be taking a risk with them.

Their story, i feel like i just ahead. The Obama Administration clearly played a crucial role in encouraging israel to agree to the ceasefire with hamas. Wolf spoke with shimon peres about relations with the United States and peres longevity on the world stage. Here is some of wolfs interview in jerusalem. You remember during the american president ial campaign the republican nominee, mitt romney, accused president obama of throwing israel under the bus. Well, lets look at the facts. Israel is not under the bus. The fact is that president obama, and we shall not forget it, helped us to find us those missiles. And security we asked them. They responded positively. And is the president of the United States. We enjoy the support of the two parties. And it is and i dont want to say anything against candidate romney any time. But we are not taking parts in the american campaign. And we are lucky to have the support of the two parties. And until its hard to become the president of the United States. And i met all the president s for the last 50 years, republicans and democrats. I must say, most of them are exceedingly friendly. Exceedingly. So what about you . Youre getting close to 90 years old. Thats hard to believe. You look so great. How do you feel . I feel that i am too young to do the job. What can i tell you . Because you still have some energy left. I think that everybody can be like me. And i think im lucky to show my people. Im here not to woo the people. Someone here to woo should not be a representative of the people. But if i can help my people in any way, im glad to do so. And if im in good shape, i dont have reasons to protest against it. Its acceptable for me. I read in the Israeli Press there was even some ideas that maybe you should challenge Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming election. Dont you think im too young for the job .
