War with. Israeli forces launching a counterstrike on lebanon. Will the attack comes after hamas invaded the country during a major jewish holiday killing at least 350 israelis in the deadliest take on israel in decades. Babies, women, the elderly were dragged outside of their homes, were taken hostage. This is our 9 11. Pete Israeli Defense forces now going after hamas forces in gaza city. An idf Spokesman Says they have closed nearly 30 of the entry points hamas used to get into israel. Youve seen the imagery of bulldozers and others used to knock over that security fence. Meanwhile, the conflict could be widening in egypt, at least 2 israelis and 1 egyptian shot and killed in alexandria. The suspected assailant, who is a police officer, was detained. So yesterday we ended our show, guys, kind of obviously talking about the horrific nature and the particulars of whats happening, but the question is would it widen and how quickly. Because one of the things of note is hamas is a terror army, and we saw their capabilities that surprised people yesterday. But hezbollah in the north is a much more sophisticated, battlehardened fighting force. And so should a Ground Incursion happen in gaza, we saw buildings leveled from fighter jets by the israelis. If a Ground Incursion happens there, hezbollah has said they will get involved in the north and these Rocket Attacks could be an indication that might be happening. Kayleigh yeah. And theres the no small matter of israeli hostages and hows that going to play out. As you know, pete, hamas uses hostages in various ways to shield their own. So the negotiations underway, the calculations underway by netanyahu to get those hostages back and how to unleash a retaliatory strike in an area where youve got israeli hostages, children, one mother and her two children, i read, ages 2 and 4 taken as us rah reilly hostages. As israeli hostages. Will the retaliatory response from israel is inevitable. It is certain. The ability to contain this, whatever this may be, this war, to israel, to gaza, to the west bank, even to hezbollah and lebanon is really what, is the great question. That news that there is one or two israelis and one egyptian shot is the fulfillment of something we spoke about yesterday which is the call for everyone to mobilize. Thats what that hamas has canned for. They have seen some instances of mobilization of radicals. So the question is not just what is israels response going to be, but what is the response of the greater region. What is the response from hezbollah, what is the response from syria, what is the response if iraq. What is the response of saudi arabia. Because that is the big one when you are standing on the doorstep of peace with israel and saudi arabia. Pete youre exactly right. Because when you look at the conflict of the history in the region, and were going to go off the wall on this, when you look at the 6day war in 67, the Yom Kippur War In 73, what the palestinians counted on was the arab world rallying to their side. And a lot of times it was rhetorically, or but it was alsoing, you know, jordan and egypt sent tanks and Fighter Planes to try to eliminate the state of israel. In this case, those more conventional threats has e eroded, and what iran is so scared of is that saudi arabia would make peace with israel. So when all these Terrorist Organizations are saber rattling, they dont have the universal chorus of arab nations saying were behind you, giving them cover. Will so what they hope for, from what i understand, is a bunch of dead bodies now in gaza to put saudi arabia into a position where they cannot sign a peace deal with israel. This was a purposeful, chaotic Terrorist Attack on the part of iran to scuttle, as we heard earlier in the hour, to scuttle that deal between saudi arabia and israel. So the question is, what does israels response to this do to the wider arab world. Kayleigh and what an enormous victory that would be, to have a normal aition of normalization. Under President Trump you had the abraham accords, and you had deals with bahrain, morocco, uae, and sow you so you already see the muslim world saying, yes, we will work with israel. You bring saudi arabia in, and our last guest said that changes the construct of the middle east. You bring saudi arabia with normalizing relations with iran, All Of A Sudden muslim versus su jew might not longer be the dynamic, and iran doesnt want that. Pete and how does that change Benjamin Netanyahus response . Because you have the tactical, strategic levels of what you do. The playbook with for israel is overwhelming destruction of your enemy, sending a signal of strength. On the other hand, to your point about saudi arabia, its such a challenge though because this ie israels declared this kind of war, seen this kind of attack. Youre hearing in israeli media, hey, this is our 9 11. I mean, look at what america did after a our 9 11, and the lengths we went to to destroy ourenmies. If thats the case, then the whole relationship with saudi arabia becomes secondary here. And the response becomes a response to the israeli electorate and citizens to say were going to go all in no matter what. Will and it seems fairly impossible, in my Amateur Estimation which i would defer to any one of expertise on this, it e seems fairly impossible to surgically root out hamas in gaza which means theres going to be a lot of civilian casualties, and Bibi Netanyahu has already warned, get out of gaza. If you are a civilian, an innocent, get out of gaza. And he has said its going to be turned to rubble. Kayleigh and historically what we have seen on the part of the media, on the part of the world really in many cases is theres initially a rush to say this is horrific, this is terrorism, and shortly thereafter, to your point, israels warned get out of the way, were going to retaliate. But when that body count starts racking up, All Of A Sudden watch for that heel turn by the liberal media to then blame israel. You already are see ilhan omar saying he wants a cease fire. We went and got the taliban, osama bin laden. She wants a ceasefire . No,s israel has to repallaluate. Pete i heard the same thing on my College Cam Campus after 9 11. Peace, peace. I can still see the smoke from the world trade center. What are you talking about . Will, the one place you can count on there being civilians or fighters, excuse me, or hostages is in hospitals, schools, and Human Shields is their textbook. This is sort of like what we attempt to do with Ground Operations in our own combat in afghanistan. You attempt to tell the local population to leave, but in gaza, i mean, thats 2 Million People in a taney strip of land tiny strip of land without an ton to go a lot of other places. So if youre going to flatten it, people are going to be killed, and and you have to set that expectation. Will earlier in the show we spoke to the human impact when we talked to an american, also an israeli activist. She lives in new york city. Shes visiting israel with her children and her husband, and this is how they experienced the tragedy yesterday. We are here to celebrate, you know, a celebration of happiness and joy and our devotion to our, you know, our torah and our homeland. And then we were rudely awakened yesterday morning by the siren going off. My older daughter came into the room, and she said i hear sirens, somebody said theres a bomb drill. And i said, stella, theres no bomb drills in israel, thats real. It was actually one of the scariest experiences of my life. This has, you know, youre freaking out yourself and youre trying to keep your child calm. My kids are very a aware of whats happening, and weve just had conversations about how were safe in the hotel, how were not leaving the hotel and why were staying put. Kayleigh i saw video of, you know, a lot weve talk the about this, the images, the videos that you see on social media are heartbreaking and tragic. I saw one where two children were on the ground with their parents, and the little boy was crying because his sister had just been killed as they were waiting to see if they would become hostages. This is the reality, women being drug through the streets by their hair. That is hamas. Pete the other reality every time youre in israel, like, it looks normal, it feels normal at a lot of levels, but around every corner is a soldier with a rifle or a policeman whos seen things before. It flips at any moment. Ask if its totally different than living in your neighborhood in the United States. Well, these days in some inner cities were seeing a different reality, but for the most part. Kayleigh no doubt about it. Meanwhile, President Biden is promising unwavering support for israel at least for now while his administration faces backlash over the 6 billion in frozen iran funds released last month. Pete lets turn now to Lucas Tomlinson who is live from the white house. Hey, lucas. Reporter guys, officials are calling there the largest Terrorist Attack on israel in its 75year history. President biden speaking at the white house yesterday pledged his full support. If. The United States stands with the people of israel in the face of these terrorist assault ises. Israel has the right to defend itself and its people, full stop. Theres never justification for Terrorist Attacks. And my administrations support for israels security is rock solid and unwavering. If. Reporter former President Donald Trump speaking in iowa yesterday assailed the Biden Administration for adding 6 billion in that recent Prisoner Swap with iran to free those american hostages. In addition to that, we agreed to free up 6 billion, and that is a absolute disaster. And i would not be at all surprised if part of that tremendous wealth that they just accumulated went into All Of A Sudden watching this level of aggression. Reporter another gop candidate, senator tim scott, joined in the criticism. I will say without any question you look back at the actions of the joe biden administering, 6 billion for hostages realizing that money is fungible, that is devastation. It makes him complicit with these attacks. Reporter some think this tweet by irans Supreme Leader is paragraph iran is behind the orders is proof iran is behind the attacks yesterday. Iran does not want to see saudi arabia and israel recognize each other for the first time this history, and recent interviews with bret baer the leaders of both countries sounded like they were close. Heres irans Supreme Leader in that tweet say, quote The Usurper Regime is coming to an end. Today the palestinian u. S. And the youth and the antioppression, antioccupation group in god willing, the movement will achieve its goals. The Biden Administration is denying any of the 6 billion in assets was used to finance the attacks on israel, a treasury official saying, quote These Restricted Funds Cannot go to iran, they can only be used for future humanitarianrelated purposes. Any suggestions to the contrary is false and misleading. Former Defense Secretary marks e per and senator Lindsey Graham calling this attack on israel yesterday a massive intelligence failure, guys. Will thank you, lucas. Just absolutely stunning video as Well Yesterday in iran. Did you see the videos from the floor of their legislature . Which is a Figurehead Legislature largely anyway, but yelling death to israel and death to america. Kayleigh yes. And not only that, setting off fireworks, they played the clips. So if any idea where iran stands, was iran behind this or not in of course they were. This is their proxy. They were excited about it. Saying death to israel, that was the parliament. We congratulate the palestinian advisers, thats the Senior Adviser to the iranian government. Pete and you with see our administration saying, oh, the 6 billion, its not in their bank account yet. There may be technicality, as you both pointed out its all fungible. But you also had the Obama Administration giving cash to the iranians, and youve got the rightening lightening of restrictions under the Biden Administration. So they want to fight over the particulars of 6 billion and and whether its in a qatari bank account or not, the signals have been set. And thats a part of what adam bo lahr, one of the negotiators of the Abram Abraham accords, he talked about it. Watch. The American People should understand that this is not border towns that are being attacked, this is central israel. So that is the equivalent of new york being attacked. And i would liken this a little bit to israels 9 11. So we reflect on this, this is a big attack. This is men, Women And Children being pulled out of cars, taken hostage. So this is a huge deal. So thats first and foremost. The second thing id say is this doesnt happen if iran didnt be isnt behind it pushing it, and thats what youre seeing. The abraham accords, when we worked on that, we were very serious about a iran and what was let through from a financial perspective and what would happen if there was any disruption. And so that protected against it. I think a lot of the timing that youre seeing right now has to do with two things. One is relaxed sanctions on iran. So theyve built up more of a financial war chest. And, number two, saudi arabia has indicated that theyre interested in normalizing with israel. This is irans opportunity to try to disrupt saudi arabia from normalizing with israel, and we cant let that a happen. Kayleigh i worked with adam, he, jared kushner, Robert Obrien all key to getting those accords. What he said was key, crystallize the true enemy e for the region, and that is iran. Not just a threat to israel, but to the broader region at large, and that pushed these peace deals through. Will we talked about the response here back home in america, we talked about the response from the squad. Pete, you brought up the comparison to some of your College Classmates who called for peace in the wake of 9 11 while theres still smoke coming up from downtown manhattan. Heres ilhan omar, congresswoman from minnesota and member of the squad, i condemn the horrific acts we are seeing unfold in israel against children, women, the elderly and unarmed people. Such senseless violence will only repeat the back and forth cycle weve seen. We need to call for a deescalation and ceasefire. I will keep advocating for peace and justice throughout the middle east. Pete the old ceasefire when only one shots taken sides taken a shot so far. Heres her fellow squad member, the socialist from the bronx, alexandria ocasiocortez, saying this today is devastating for all those seeking a lasting peace and respect for human rights. I condemn the hamas attacks in the strongest possible terms. No child or family should endure this violence and fear, and this will not solve the ongoing oppression and occupation in the region. A ceasefire is urgently needed to save lives. Key kaye kay these statements come from individuals, Rashida Tlaib who you point out weve yet to hear from, who have antisemitism in their past. Theyre said horrific, horrific things and yet they want a ceasefire. Unsurprising coming from this group. Will still ahead, the threat to International Security as iranbacked hamas attack on israel is deemed an intel failure. Is this part of a broader iranian strategy . Kayleigh former u. N. Ambassador to israel David Friedman shares his warning live from jerusalem next. Lowes knows you want the best quality products for the best price.

David, thank you for joining us. First of all, how are you. Give our viewers a sense of the environment in jerusalem from your perspective. Well, im fine. Ive been through this, unfortunately, many times before. Im sitting with, in my home with a bunch of grandchildren who are, unfortunately, experiencing this for the first time, and i feel for them because, you know, were running in and out of shelters, and we have to explain to them whats happening. They dont understand there are people that want to kill jews, and its an exposure to an ugly world that i wish i didnt have to share with them. But physically i thin
