They are the first hostages freed since hamas kidnapped nearly 200 people near the october 7th attack on israel. In a statement President Biden said quote, we have not ceased our efforts to secure the release of those still being held. I think the government of qatar, and the government of israel for their partnership in this work. And quote. Just outside of gaza, trucks carrying desperately needed humanitarian aid are still waiting to enter. More than 100 trucks are stuck on the egyptian side of the rafah border between egypt and gaza. This comes as an israeli airstrike hit the oldest active church in gaza, killing at least 18 people.
Its of course impossible to tell whether its authentic, just independently. Its nothing that remarks it is obviously false. Where the idf says yes, this was recovered from hamas property that was recovered in israeli territory after the raid of the 7th Of October. But im so im pretty confident that its accurate and true, not forgery. Its explosive reporting, and even more devastating, more devastating situation that we then we could have fathom for these hostages. Graeme wood thank you for making the time tonight and for this essential reporting. That is it for us tonight. Now it is time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening, lawrence. Does it for us tonight, now its time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening, alex. Andrew weissmann hasnt been spending as much time with us as usual on this program, but he will be here tonight because there was of course, the guilty plea today, and alex, imagine that you are Sidney Powell i dont want to imagine that, bu
But okay. Thats the way i want to put it, though. Its just more fun that way. And you are still crazy and you have to find a way to show in court today they were still crazy. She found a way to do that when it was very clear that for her a single most embarrassing thing that happened in the courtroom today was not admitting her crimes, which she did, was not saying the word guilty, which she did. It was when she had to see how old she is. Oh, lawrence. And thats the reason donald trump is never going to plead guilty. Because you have to say how old you are. I feel that particular pain. I thought you were gonna say involved a diet dr pepper or a leopard print cardigan, but there are many other ways that we can find ourselves mortified. Its not a subject i want to talk about. Mean either. But if im pleading guilty to a crime, thats not gonna be the worst part of the day. True. Different standard for different folks, i think, lawrence. I will be watching. Thanks, alex. Thank you. Not sinc
We dont have a sovereign nation without a secure border. We must secure our border. We must know who is coming over here. Just the last piece of video i wanted to show you, Border Patrol agents, texas dps officers rescuing a honduran man that was drowning, saved his life. Thats part of the Unsung Heroes job, they do it every day, it gets little attention but that is part of the crisis that we have going here, sandra, back to you. Sandra Griff Jenkins on that, latest developments from the border. Thank you. Just as the civilized world united to defeat the nazis, and united to defeat isis, the civilized world must unite to defeat hamas. For those living in limbo waiting desperately to learn the fate of a loved one, especially to families of the hostages, you are not alone. As the american president , there is no higher priority than release and safe return of all these hostages. Sandra that was earlier, President Biden is now wheels up from israel after an eighthour visit but he did not
Tonight, we are closely watching multiple developing stories that have the world on edge. And israel, thousands of troops and tanks remain on the border with gaza awaiting orders for unanticipated ground offensive. As gaza descends deeper into a humanitarian crisis. A United Nations agency says gaza is, quote, running out of life, with dwindling supplies of food, water, energy, and medicine. Up to 600 americans also remain stuck in gaza as the rafah Border Crossing into egypt is still closed. Just hours ago, we learned hamas is foreign hostages when the necessary conditions are available. But until that happens, and if that happens, the families of what we know to be at least 199 hostages await any word about their loved ones who are being held hostage by hamas. The tara group also released Video Footage of a hostage for the first time today. It shows a 21yearold woman speaking to the camera under duress. And it is unclear when it was actually recorded. Right now, its 3 am in israel, a
