And medicine are dwindling fast. Speaking at the Rafah Crossing between egypt and the gaza strip, where more than a 100 trucks, including the initial convoy of 20, are waiting for the green light to drive into gaza, mr guterres pleaded for the trucks to be allowed to move to the other side. Heres some of what he said. So these trucks are notjust trucks. They are a lifeline. They are the difference between life and death for so many people in gaza. And to see them stuck here makes me be very clear. What we need is to make them move. To make them move to the other side of this wall, to make them move as quickly as possible and as many as possible. Recently it was announced by israel and by the United States that humanitarian aid would be allowed to enter gaza. And i know that there is also an agreement between egypt and israel to make it possible. But these announcements were made with some conditions. This must be a sustained effort. We are not looking for a one convoy to come. We are l
This hezbollah protest in beirut was held in solidarity for palestinians in gaza. There were strong words. And defiance. The speech here was full of anti american and anti israeli slogans. Its unlikely that its done anything to ease tensions that this country could be dragged into this conflict. For days, hezbollah and the israeli army have exchanged fire along the border. So far, the attacks have been contained. But what happens next is likely to be decided farfrom here in iran, hezbollah s main supporter. The tensions also threaten to deepen sectarian divisions.

In a pro hezbollah town, different opinions. Im not going to leave
enemies is. essentially at the moment, it s a shia islamist movement. unless we can say islamism is an enemy of the united states, we can t organize what the political and military tools will be to push back. we need to first recognize those are the enemy of progress in the middle east right now. steven yates, these are disturbing pictures with huge disturbing implications. thank you very much for joining us today. thank you. keeping an eye on that whole region for you. very volatile. that s going to do it for us. we ll be back here at 6:00 eastern time with a brand new hour of america s new headquarters. but in the meantime, maybe you blew it over the holidays and ate too much. we have some help for you. a healthy you & carol alt is coming up for you next. so pay attention, feel great.
basically with syria and the other violence now lebanon, hezbollah, is very complicated but it could escalate quickly. for sure. it s a very, very troubling indicator. the gentleman that was assassinated has been a very important ally to the west pushing back against a broader shia islamist movement. detablizing iraq, syria and now stilling over the borders. it s a broad conflict that we haven t talked that much about the united states. we have focused on withdrawing from iraq or the nuclear program in iran. i want to talk about that broader impact, because we ve been talking about the administration s foreign policy. how are we viewed over there? do you think they re looking at this, groups like hezbollah, saying we have a real opportunity here because america is weak? i think unfortunately, friend and foe in the region, see the
