In this sunday exclusive. Good sunday morning. The latest now out of israel and gaza whether every hour seems to bring more fighting or a temporary ceasefire. Despite diplomatic efforts that include the u. S. , there is yet to be a lasting agreement. Todays developments, hamas started firing more rockets at israel after rejecting an extension of an israeliimposed ceasefire. Israel is now reviewing a hamas call for a 24hour humanitarian truce. Israeli troops had resumed their military offensive in gaza this morning. Our Richard Engel joins me now with the very latest from gaza. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, david. Yet again there is another attempt to put a humanitarian ceasefire in place. But weve seen these come and go. And a lasting deal here still remains elusive. Israelis and palestinians are both paying a heavy price for this. But as we saw for ourselves during a lull in the fighting, parts of gaza are being devastated. Mohammed is learning hes lost everything. His
Attacks you were just describing. It was generalized but lumping in iran, which he at one point called the Islamic State of iran. Not the name of that country. Lumping that in with isis. And also really going after mahmoud abbas. His purported partner in trying to make a peace deal. Really going after abbas, going after hamas, lumping all of that together.

I think youre right. If there was anything shocking to me or eyebrowraising in this speech, it was his real assault on abbas. Abbas speech two days ago was not great for anyone who hopes for peace. And i think it my have been a tit for tat thing because he seemed to not make any distinction between hamas efforts, and i think in most cases successful efforts to lead the Palestinian Authority en route towards, you know, real statesmanship. And these othe
Were covering these latest developments with Barbara Starr at the pentagon, joe johns at the white house. Barbara, lets start with you. What details are you hearing from your sources. Good morning, john and kate. Multiple u. S. Officials are now telling cnn that the white house is expected to make this announcement shortly. What by all accounts the president has decided is a small group of u. S. Special Operations Forces, the most elite, the most highly trained will go into Northern Syria. This is an area controlled by the kurds, up near the turkish border. They are going to go there to support both kurds and the syrian arab fighters. There are thousands up there from all of these groups fighting isis. But they lack ammunition, equipment, logistics, the real ability to begin to execute a campaign, if you will, to push isis out and push isis further south. So what are the u. S. Special Operation Forces going to do . They are going to help with that kind of planning and coordination, mak
Paints him as the revolutionary. I want to bring in jeff selney, Brianna Keilar and neila malik ka henderson. Hillary clinton has some 25 debates under her belt. What is her strategy with this one . Well, i think and i do think thats interesting that you point out, she has 25 debates under her belt, but she hasnt done one for years. So i think shes trying to really prepare and come out and show some prowess certainly in her ability to debate. But what ive been told by a top Campaign Aide is that she wants to and this is her main objective, to cut through the politics. This campaign has not gone as scheduled. I think her aides would tell you, i think Hillary Clinton would tell you, she has seen so much focus on this email controver controversy. Its brought her poll numbers down in terms of trustworthy ps. And i think she sees this as a moment when people are paying a lot of attention, there are more eyeballs and she wants to connect in a way you can cut through some of that stuff that s
Have fallen. Inside politics, the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters, now. Welcome to inside politics. Today marks 100 days to the election. Three questions, can Hillary Clinton and her running mate use their post convention rust belt road trip to shape the electoral map in their favor . Im an optimist and im confident.

Its people who get up every day and try to figure out how its going to be better for them and their families. Question two, is Donald Trumps new selfdescribed no more mr. Nice guy strategy the right approach . If i dont beat crooked Hillary Clinton, she is as crooked as a 3 bill, if i dont beat crooked Hillary Clinton, i will consider this a tremendous waste of time, energy, and money. And question three, is it smart ever to pick a fight with a gold star father . Let me
