day of the truce? as we enter the final hours of the six-day truce agreement between israel and hamas, there is new hope that new optimism is coming just this morning from a qatari official. the spokesman for the foreign ministry which has been key in brokering these deals between israel and hamas tells cnn that they are hopeful that they could announce another extension in just the next couple of hours. if not, israel has made clear that they will resume military operations against hamas in gaza. we are expecting another group of hostages to be released today even before this -- any talk of an extension. their families have been notified and with that, we have learned that the bevis family is not among the hostages and kfir is not among the hostages. they do not know where the bibas family. the israeli hostages have been freed since friday. with ten new releases as you just heard late last night, but still many, many more are being held in gaza. israel believes there is 161 hostages still in captivity and the majority of them are israeli. israeli's prime minister's office releaseded a breakdown this morning of the vulnerable age groups within the 161 people being held. four hostages under the age of 18, just children, four more are between 18 and 19 which makes them legally children under the united nations definition. additionally, ten more hostages are 75 years or older. cnn's kaitlan collins is with us now. you spoke with qatari officials this morning about the state of these negotiations as they're trying to extend this truce for just a little bit longer, the ceasefire. what are you learning? >> yeah, sara. we could learn soon whether or not this deal will be extended beyond where it is right now because as a reminder, this is day six. this was initially supposed to be a four-day deal, but when we got close to day four they announced they would go on 48 hours and it would theoretically be expired, but right now officials have been working behind the scenes to try to extend it. right now the terms of the deal are women and children. we have some women and children coming out. there are still many more women and children, though, who are in hamas captivity, who are still being held in gaza, and that's the whole point of why they're trying to extend these talks and so we spoke to the spokesperson of the qatari foreign affairs and they spoke to the director in doha. he said they are hopeful that when the six group of hostages get release good moment that they'll announce that there will be an extension to this temporary truce. >> i am hopeful that within a couple of hours we have the final and also we'll be able to announce an extension. we are working an extension that will be guaranteed by the same provision that guaranteed the previous two days which we have included at least ten hostages coming out and 30 hostages from the israeli prisons and we are optimistic that we will have good news to share today. >> okay. so you do expect that an extension with the same parameters that are in place right now will be announced once this sixth group hostages has been released. is that right? >> we are optimist take we will be able to make that announcement during the day. >> he also confirmed our reporting that talks are under way to potentially expand this deal and not to only go on longer, but to include different group, elderly men, young men, idf soldiers potentially men and women that are being held. that will be a lot more complicated than just bringing the women and children home and we are continuing to monitor those negotiations that are happening. joining me now in tel aviv, cnn's oren liebermann and this is around the time each day that we start to see movement and this exchange be facilitated. what are you hearing behind the scenes about what today's hostage list looks like? >> you're absolutely right. now is when we start to see that movement. we haven't gotten indications that it has started yet. crucially, we haven't heard that the danger is in danger of falling apart. we should begin the process of transferring the hostages from hamas to the red cross and then into israel either directly or through egypt. crucially, we're not seeing anything like we saw yesterday with both sides accusing each other of initiating an exchange of fire and the most serious violation of the truce agreement and even then it didn't fall apart. the real question here is how much can the deal be extended it runs into the cold, hard math that there are a certain number of women and children in gaza. the they have 161 hostages there and 35 are women and not all necessarily can fall under the agreement of women and children because some might be soldiers and yet there is a massive effort to make sure the women and children part goes as long as it can and then they find terms or a separate agreement or a new part of the agreement to extend as long as possible. secretary blinken talked about that at nato today. >> we'll be focused on doing what we can to extend the pause so that we continue to get more hostages out and more humanitarian assistance in. we'll discuss with israel how it can achieve its objective ensuring that the terrorist attacks of october 7th never happen again. while sustaining an increasing amount of assistance and minimizing further suffering and casualties among palestinian civilians. >> crucially and we saw this just a couple of days ago. they are hesitant to make an announcement of the extension of the troops until the days released moving forward. not surprising, we haven't heard anything from the israeli gove government even though the qataris extended this by a day or two and we can expect that to happen before we hear confirmation that the truce might last a little bit longer. >> yeah. a lot of movement expected here. we'll be watching it all closely. oren liebermann, thank you for that report. also in the west bank we are seeing it heat up as israeli forceses have conducted a military raid near the janeane refugee camp. military vehicles with sounds of heavy gun fire. the head of doctors without borders says his staff was trapped in a hospital while it was under way. ben wedeman is with us now. we are learning that two young men -- two young boys were killed here. what else should we know about what happened here? >> what we understand, kaitlan, and we were in the jenin refugee camp before the raid was at 9:00 p.m. local time, israeli military vehicles backed up by drones declared the entire area a closed military area. they said it was part of anti-terrorism activities, and we understand that they hit a variety of houses and they're looking for what they called terrorists, but in jenin they believe these are fighters against a decades-long military occupation. now what they do when they go in with these bulldozers, they plow up the road inside the camp and they go inside looking for these milit militants. they oftentimes lock up the residents in one of the rooms or keep them under guard as they use higher positions to shoot down into the streets. now we understand that two people died because the israeli forces were barring access to the hospital and another two boys, one aged 9 and one aged 14 were shot dead by israeli forces. israeli media is saying that two senior militants were also killed in this raid that ended at 3:00 p.m. this afternoon local time, kaitlan? >> we'll continue to monitor that to see if those raids do continue. ben wedeman, thank you for that report. kaitlan and sara, a lot moving parts happening right now as we are awaiting the release of the next group of hostages that could happen at any moment now. >> we will be watching that, i know you will be and we'll come back to you if and when it happens and thank you very much, kate kaitlan for join us live from tel aviv. they're pleading for family members to be set free from hamas. shai wefrnger is pleading, and welcome to our show. i know you've been going through it for, what, a month and 22 days now, and i do want to show people the last time, the last images that you saw of your son omer. i want to warn viewers that this video is disturbing. omer is the young man who has been stripped to his underwear and he was lying there. they beat him. he's handcuffed and surrounded by hamas gunmen who then kidnapped him and took him to gaza. have you heard anything about the status of your son since he was taken? >> good morning, sara. i didn't hear about my son since the 7th of october only from this video and the confirmation by the idf that my son was kidnapped by hamas. my son has a chronic disease and it grows severe when he is in a stress situation. it is horrible to describe it. he is in very danger of his life if he is not getting his medicine and if he is not getting medical aid. i don't see the red cross is going inside gaza to actually be on his part of the deal, and i don't know what's going on. the list is up and down, but we need to take the sick people and old people out. we saw the old lady who suffers from illness, she didn't get the right treatment, and she got to the hospital in a worst case. so i'm very concerned, and i'm very worried about my son that he is not in good condition. so we have to take the sick people and the wounded out. we have to take everyone out, children and women and humanitarian, we have to take the sick people out. >> i think that demand that you've made and that plea that you have made is that your son is suffering from a congenital disease. he doesn't have his medicine. he hasn't had it as you know it and you've heard nothing for almost two months which i has to be the most stressful thing you've ever experienced. women and children have been sort of the first wave of hostages released by hamas, but in society, we often forget, men also are very vulnerable, too, especially when they're sick or wounded. what medicine does your son need. is there any chance that you think he may be getting some kind of treatment there? >> my son needs rafason, it's a medicine he needs to take every day. unless he takes his medicine in such a situation in this stress it's growing severe, as i say. it is difficult. i don't know if he has a toilet nearby. it is very painful, the stomachache and a lot of diarrhea, and a lot of -- his hemoglobin is going down and probably needs an iron iv. he needs medical aid and medical attention from a doctor it's a very, very big problem for had disease. >> can you lastly tell us about omer as he's going through this horrible time in his life, as you why are suffering with this, as he was before, before all of this happened. >> omer is 22 years old and he's a very happy and smiley guy. he's my oldest son. he's a manager for the restaurant, as you can see in the video, he likes music, and he likes the good life. unfortunately, on the 7th of october hamas did a massive attack on israel and it's a big terror organization that made awful things and omer is quite stabilized on his disease on regular days, and unfortunately, we saw he was under stress and he went down in weight by 20 pounds, less than two or three weeks. so you have to understand that this is a very big problem. when he's in stress that it's getting worse. >> there couldn't be a more stressful situation. shai wenkert, thank you so much and please keep us updated with you and your family as you go through this. >> thank you, sara. >> kate? >> coming up for us, secretary of state tony blinken back and on a mission saying this morning that his focus during his latest trip to the region will be to extend the pause in gaza. the new reporting on what's going on behind the scenes ahead. plus the pope forced to cancel his travel plans on the advice of doctors as he conditions to recover. we've got more. an update on his health. we'll be right back. this morning, cnn exclusively got former gop representative liz cheney's memoir ahead of its release and we're sharing some of the exclusive isn't even the word because she's got receipts also in there, details and some of the claims being made. >> the book is called "oath of honor" a mem oir and a warning and cheney isn't sparing, and calls donald trump the most dangerous man ever to inhabit the oval office. here with us now, john avalon. there's a lot of color if you want to call it that from the other things we do for orange jesus to the way she's describing the conversations with some of her former colleagues and some of the things that stick out to you get more to this warning or who could have been. the lost opportunities for republicans to stop donald trump, like her conversation with mitch mcconnell and -- let me read a bit of what mitch mcconnell said. when she said she doesn't -- she says that she thought mitch mcconnell was going to support pushing donald trump out, but then she said she doesn't know why, almost, but that he seems to lose this resolve and what's left for me, and i have not yet seen the pages is the why -- it doesn't seem that she gets to the why mitch mcconnell lost the resolve. >> it indicates that mcconnell thought trump would go away on his own and it wasn't necessary to take that extra step of pushing through the impeachment vote, and there's a lot of rationalizations we've seen from republicans over the course of donald trump's rise. one of the things these excerpts show is the profound degree of cowardice, the hypocrisy knowing that donald trump is lying to supporters, but being effectively afraid of them and one member of congress saying he is afraid for his family's safety if he does the right thing constitutionally and votes for impeachment. trump would be barred from office at this point and mcconnell was leaning towards it and then felt he didn't need to go that far because trump was on his way out on his own which was a huge miscalculation. >> now he is leading for the republican candidacy. >> there are so many things in this book and we haven't even seen it. we just have the excerpts that have been looked at. cheney also, she writes about that moment that mccarthy goes to mar-a-lago to see donald trump after he has been told, and he says has accepted that he has lost in it and if we can pull that up, he says -- mccarthy says mar-a-lago, what the hell, kevin, cheney is asking mccarthy. they're really worried, mccarthy says, trump's not eating so they asked me to come see him. what? you went to mar-a-lago because trump's not eating? mccarthy, yeah, he's really depressed. you can understand a president who has lost being really depressed and that denotes something important. he knew he lost. >> she says earlier and mccarthy saying he knew he lost. the reason why i think that's ridiculous and cheney did as well is this idea of trump playing the victim and his aides saying, look, kevin you have to come console donald trump you have to console him like he's some lovesick teenager. >> i don't think he needs kevin mccarthy to do it. >> typically people would seek solace in family and mccarthy went down there to kiss the ring, let's be real and ended up reviving trump and this being the victim after the classic trump move needed solace from friends and colleagues. >> sorry, kate, do you think he was trying to get extra -- i know you said kiss the ring and remember when i helped you donald trump so that he's in his good graces. >> right. how did that work out for him? >> not so great. >> just checking. >> the warning part of this book which obviously is pervasive throughout and was the entire point and the warning and now liz cheney's kind of become the embodiment of is the warning to donald trump and the warning to democracy and it is an excerpt. every one of us, republican, democrat and independent must work and vote together to ensure that donald trump and those who appeased, enabled and collaborated with him are defeated and this is the cause of our time. she is staying true to form here. no question about that and i'm wondering with this book and with what she has stood for since honestly, january 6th, is it picking up steam, though. are people following liz cheney to take on this cause. is there a drumbeat or not? you need leadership that requires a clear call, and i wish we had a full screen of that quote. liz cheney, who was very conservative who said we need to build a broader coalition to defend the country and the constitution from donald trump and that he's been enabled by cowardice in her political party that is utterly unconnected to anything resembling constitutional values and one of the excerpts saying we're not the party of reagan anymore saying kevin mccarthy and liz cheney. this is about -- we're almost 250 years old and the longest lasting democracies in the world. we've never had a leading party candidate campaign as it would be auto rat and that is what liz cheney is warning is happening within her party as a result of cowardice on the part of the people that don't have the spine to stand up to what they know is wrong. so, yes, this is a time ff choosing. we have seen republicans lose their spine of critical moments like the impeachment and what cheney is doing, i will be that voice, but we need to build a broader coalition and it requires people to have a quarter of it, but this is a critical moment for our democracy. don't sleep walk into this election. this is about defending democracy and the constitution of which she has identified donald trump is the greatest threat to. >> you're hitting on something as we go that's important is the book's coming out, i believe it's december 5th and it's coming out very soon. the timing of the release of a book is never a coincidence and that says something of what liz cheney is trying to do in planting herself, planting her flag, creating the fork in the road, if you will for the country as we barrel into the election season. >> yes. >> it isn't just, too, about cowardice and it's about power. people that believe that if they stand up against him they'll lose their seats. >> study the bible and other texts, fear and greed is the path to hell. courage and principle is the path to redemption, and that's what politically we need to remember in this season. i mean, in this political season, in this moment for our democracy and we need to rediscover courage and putting principles above partisan and short-term interests. >> you're hitting us with the bible this morning. he's on the pulpit. john avalon, thank you so much. >> as kate mentioned the book is coming out december 5th and i'm sure there will be a lot of us picking that up to see it and liz cheney will be here and be interviewed on cnn. there are still in israel nine americans being held hostage by hamas including two women. what we know about whether any of them may be released soon. plus, a private funeral service for former first lady rosalynn carter set to begin in just minutes. cnn has learned that former president jimmy carter will be there. details ahead. this morning we're learning a u.s. hostage envoy is in israel as we wait to learn if any americans will be among the sixth group of hostages set to be released by hamas. we do know 10-month-old kfir bibas and his 10-month-old brother ariel are not on the list today and that is according to relatives who continue to wait hoping for a safe return. katie, is there any indication we can see hostages freed. the list has come out, has it not? >> sara, the short answer at this point is we are still waiting to see whether or not there will be any americans included in the list of hostages expected to be released today. there are still nine hostages, seven men and two women. the two women were expected to be released as part of the original tranche of 50 hostages released during the first four days of the truce. that didn't happen. a huge disappointment for the biden administration and the national security spokesman john kirby saying that the white house doesn't believe t
