Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the United States and All Around The World as we continue our coverage of israel at war. Im lynda kinkade. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is telling troops the next stage of the war, the Ground Offensive is coming. With just one mission, in his words, to smash hamas. His comments come amidst concerns over the hostages and the humanitarian crisis in gaza, where the death toll is still rising. At the United NationsSecurity Council tuesday, Secretary GeneralAntonio Guterres drew backlash when he appealed for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. I have condemned unequivocally the horrifying october 7 Acts Of Terror by hamas in israel. Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring, and kidnapping of civilians or the launching of rockets against civilian target. It is important to also recognize the attacks by hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian People have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occasion. But the grievances of the Palestinian People cannot justify the appalling attacks by hamas and those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian People. Excellencies, even war has rules. Those comments prompted this Swift Response from israels u. N. Ambassador who took to social media to call on guterres to resign immediately over those remarks. But even as tensions flare, the situation in gaza draws more dire by the day. Footage has captured the level of destruction there following more than two weeks of israeli air strikes. The response to the deadly Terror Attacks by hamas on october 7th. On tuesday, only 8 of the 28 trucks scheduled to enter gaza made it through the rafah crossing on the egyptian border. While some food, medicine and water is being delivered, residents say its not nearly enough to meet the urgent needs. Translator this thing that is being distributed cannot be called aid at all. And it should not be referred to as such, because these items do not cover any of the peoples needs. People in gaza are dying in two ways, a fast death or a slow death in refugee camps. We are asking for the simplest and most essential elements that allow every person, young or old, child or adult to stay alive. Neglecting our lives like this is unacceptable. One of the biggest concerns, a lack of fuel, which is used to power gazas hospitals. The World Health Organization says six hospitals have already been forced to close. Journalist Elliott Gotkine is with us from london. Good to have you with us, elliott. I want to start first by the comments by the United NationsSecretary General calling for an immediate ceasefire, but also urging the world not to forget the decades of occupation. And of course israels Swift Response, take us through it. Thats right, linda. So we heard from the United NationsSecretary General. While recognizing the barbarity of the hamas terrorist attack on october 7th, at the same time saying that that doesnt mean that israel can impose collective punishment on the palestinians of the gaza strip, saying in his words, protecting civilians does not mean ordering more than one Million People evacuate to the south of the gaza strip where there is no shelter, no food, no water, no medicine, no fuel, and then continuing to bomb the south itself. But as you say, this did not go down particularly well among israeli diplomats. Its envoy to the United Nations gilad erdan calling for Antony Blinken to resign immediately, saying he is not fit to lead the United Nations, and accusing him of tolerating terrorism for those comments about hamas attack not taking place in a vacuum. But, of course, against this backdrop, israel is no stranger to criticism from the United Nations or rows with the United Nations. At the same time, the United States is not yet calling for a ceasefire until the hostages have been freed, and i think until the United States changes its position, and that doesnt seem likely right at this moment, then israel will still feel free to try to carry out its objectives. Because from israels perspective, the real problem here is amid the calls for a ceasefire, from its perspective, it has yet to Raeally Achieve Ay of its objectives. Hamas is still firing rockets towards civilians. It managed to intercept a cell of divers emerging into the tunnels of the sea off the coast of the northern gaza strip. It hasnt freed the vast majority of the hostages. There is still about 220 being held by hamas. And so until such time as it feels that it has achieved any of those objectives, never mind completely destroying hamas, which it said was its Main Objective at the start, it seems unlikely that israel is going to buy in to the calls for a ceasefire. Linda . Of course we have been speaking about the concerns of a broader regional conflict. Weve already seen some back and forth between hezbollah and lebanon and israel. But now weve seen israel target spots in syria. Take us through that. Thats right. We often get reports that airports in syria, aleppo, in damascus has been hit and the finger very much being pointed at israel. But israel not saying that it was responsible. The assumption being that israel is take out those targets because it is trying to prevent weapons from getting from iran to its proxy hezbollah in the south of lebanon. But overnight israel says it did strike syrian targets in response to missile launches fired from syria towards the Golan Heights on the border between israel and syria, saying that it hit military compounds, artillery p. O. W. s of the syrian army and Radar Systems as well. This is not the First Time Since october 7th that weve seen missiles being fired from syria towards israel, and israel retaliating. The bigger worry, of course, a bigger flareup between israel and hezbollah in the south of lebanon, and that has been simmering for the past couple of weeks as well. But even in the more broader region we saw houthis who are aligned with the iranians in yemen Fires Rockets towards israel. Those being intercepted by the United States, which has sent already two Aircraft Carriers and other warships and many other Military Asset to the region including a Missile Defense system. There are still concerns. We heard this morning that australia is beefing up its presence in the region as well to for fear of a wider conflagration in the region. So there are concerns. For now, its mainly restricted to israel and hamas militants in the gaza strip. But there are still very real concerns that certainly with hezbollah in Southern Lebanon and other actors in the region could turn this into a broader war. Linda . All right. Elliott gotkine, good to have you and staying across all those developments. Thank you. Well, the u. N. Relief and works agency is warning it will be forced to hold its operations in gaza by tonight if no fuel is delivered. It comes as the agency has repeatedly said gaza needs thousands of liters of fuel a day in order to run basic necessities like hospitals and bakeries. But israel has ruled out any fuel being allowed into gaza because it claims hamas may steal it for its operational infrastructure. The little humanitarian assistance allowed into gaza is the crossing point with cement slabs in between convoys. Inside gaza, near constant israeli air strikes have left behind a level of destruction like never before, and warnings from aid groups of a humanitarian catastrophe are growing louder. Cnns Salma Abdelaziz has a report on civilians caught in the crossfire. And a warning, her report contains graphic images. Reporter moments after an overnight strike in gaza. Stunned survivors stumble out. People nearby rush to help. There is no ambulance, we have to get people out, a man shouts. Men dig with bare hands. It is dark, dusty. The screams are jarring. Look at the children, look at the children he says. It is sheer chaos and carnage. This is the aftermath of just one of the hundreds of bombings a day that batter the gaza strip, the scene captured by a journalist. Israel says it is targeting hamas and aims to wipe out the group. But palestinians and aid agencies say it is civilians that are dying by the hundreds. Drone footage shows entire neighborhoods already leveled by the near constant bombardment. Nothing is spared. Schools, mosques, shelters, medical centers, all struck, according to the United Nations. Gaza is all too familiar with war but has never seen it on this scale. And for survivor, there is little life left here. This baby is now an orphan, but he is far too young to understand that. Translator what did this little boy do . An Air Strike Hit his house while he was sleeping, his uncle says. His whole family was killed. He is the only survivor. Stop this. Stop this suffering. There are calls for israel to pause hostilities, but the idf is only ramping up its attacks and preparing for whats expected to be a fullon Ground Invasion of the enclave. But gazans say they can endure no more. Nearly 60 members of his extended family were killed after they followed israels evacuation instructions. We were hosting our family from the north, 50 to 70 people, because it was supposed to be safe, he says. But at dawn, our home was bombed. We dont know what to do. Weve lost our minds. Gaza is praying for relief. But the cries of anguish here are so far unheard. The bloodshed wont stop. Salma abdelaziz, cnn, london. Still to come, third times a charm. Fourth time is routine. U. S. House republicans have voted on yet another nominee for speaker with a key vote on the floor hours away. Could this be the one . Plus, new prosecution deals could mean trouble for former president donald trump. Well have the details after the break. Republicans have named a fourth nominee for u. S. House speaker in three weeks since Kevin Mccarthys unprecedented ouster. Mike johnson survived a key vote at the 11th hour tuesday night, becoming the partys latest candidate for the embattled role. Here is what johnson had to say after securing the nomination. Democracy is messy sometimes, but it is our system. This conference that you see, this House Republican majority is united. The full house vote is said to be held around lunchtime today. Despite weeks of republican infighting, johnson says he is very confident hell get the 270 votes needed to become speaker. Donald trumps former Chief Of Staff was reportedly granted immunity from prosecution in a special counsels federal election subversion case. According to abc news, mark meadows has met with federal prosecutors at least three times this year during their investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 president ial election. Abc reports that meadows told special counsel jack smiths investigators that he did not believe the election was stolen, and that trump was being dishonest in claiming victory. Well, in the Georgia Election subversion case, former Trump Campaign attorney jenna ellis has pleaded guilty to Aiding And Abetting false statements about the results of the 2020 election. Last week former Trump Campaign lawyers Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell also plead guilty. Michael genovese is a political analyst and president of the Global Policy institute at Loyola Marymount and joins us from los angeles. Good to have you with us. Thank you. So mark meadows, trumps former Chief Of Staff, reportedly gets immunity thanks to an agreement to testify in the investigation into the insurrection. Should donald trump be worried . Well, its been a bad few days for donald trump. A number of his supporters who work for him are peeling off, talking to prosecutor, making plea deals. And the traditional strategy, which is to start on the outside and work your way into the big fish is starting to work. They got a big fish today. And that is mark meadow, president and Chief Of Staff. He knows where all the bodies are buried. He has a lot that he could offer. And so i would guess that he got a very good deal. So the dominos are starting to fall against donald trump has to be concerned right now. I have to ask you, though, just how trustworthy is mark meadow, especially given what he has reportedly told investigators in this case is at odds with what he has written in his own book. I know. And then he could be attacked for that, which is the truth here . I think because he is still subject to perjury charges, he is likely To Tell The Truth under oath. So i think the courts will rely on that. But hes got a lot that he could offer. And so Donald Trumps dance card is already quite full, and hes got to be concerned because hes got a lot of legal troubles, a lot of political issues because of the campaign. So donald trump must not be sleeping very well right now. And mark meadows is probably the biggest thorn in his side right now. And speaking of other legal cases, in the Georgia Election interference case, a former trump lawyer who had spread lies on the airways about Election Fraud was in court today. I just want to remind our viewers what you said after the election. President trump is right that there was widespread fraud. The election was stolen, and President Trump won by a landslide. We have this overwhelming evidence of fraud. This election was fraudulent. It was corrupted. All of these false and fraudulent results. Well, today, ellis was in court expressing remorse. I just want to play this sound. What i did not do but should have done, your honor, was to make sure that the facts the other lawyers allege to be true were in fact true. I believe in election integrity. If i know then what i know now, i would have declined to represent donald trump in these post election challenges. I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse. So whats next for her . Well, she was a loyal maga supporter. She spouted the party line and did it effectively. But the truth is starting to surround her now, and shes pressured. She had to do something. Its going to be a very costly prosecution if she goes through with it. She had to make some kind of a deal. And as i said, the dominos are starting to fall. And she is one of the many sort of smaller dominos who could add to and get closer to the center. Apparently she knows a lot about Rudy Giuliani and a few of the other people next to trump. Maybe not as much about trump. But, you know, she was a very loyal person, and she did the maga line. Now shes got To Tell The Truth. Again, she is also subject to perjury charges. Yeah. And michael, i want to turn, if we can, to the House Speaker issue. Its been three weeks since House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy was ousted, and they are desperate to end the chaos. The republicans have announced a new nominee, the fourth in three weeks. The House Speaker, just who is mike johnson . He is not very wellknown outside the beltway e are because he is not a show horse. He is very conservative. He is one of the election deniers. This morning we thought that the candidate that the republicans were going to vote on was tom emmer. But he was an election denier. Donald trump savaged him during the day. So he had to pull out because he knew he couldnt get the votes. The question is can johnson get the votes. All you need are four people to say no, and there are some republicans who have already said they intend to vote for <
