to thank for rescuing you? >> yes, congressman mills and his team and organization. it's a small team, but they work hard on the ground and also from behind the scenes making sure everything is good. i felt safe during the process, as well, getting out. >> steve: welcome home. oh, man. bill, adrian, would you like to say goodbye to each other now? >> i'll give you a call afterward. love you. >> of lo you love you, too. >> steve: he's talking to his father. third hour of "fox and friends" starts now. >> ainsley: fox news alert, president biden meeting with israel war cabinet in tel aviv after a rocket levelled a hospital in gaza last night killing hundreds. israel and president biden blaming the islamic terrorist group that misfired a rocket and struck the medical facility. >> president biden: outrage by the hospital in gaza yesterday and based on what i have seen -- a lot of people are not sure. >> steve: that was earlier. right now anti-israel protest continue to break out in the middle east after the hospital was hit. >> todd: a fire at a u.s. embassy in beirut. hezbollah called for a day of anger. >> lawrence: the president is overseas, many at home are filling the effects of this war. we have team coverage, trey yingst on the ground and jacqui heinrich is at the white house. trey, to you first, what is the latest on the ground? >> trey: yeah, guys, good morning. u.s. president joe biden arrived at the airport outside of tel aviv, israel second largest city and greeted by israeli prime minister netanyahu and israeli president herzog. this was not just hello and handshake, rather beginning of a very important planning meeting temperature is a challenging time for president biden to visit following that explosion at the al-ahli hospital in gaza city. take you through the play by play of what we understand took place. there is misinformation amid the war here. initially hamas reached out to fox news and others to say this was israeli airstrike. we reached out to israelis for comment and they were investigating what took place. they got back to us indicating their understanding is an islam being jihad rocket was targeting israel and it went up in the air and misfired to this hospital killing those that were there and shelters. hamas still says it is israeli strike. we got more information from israelis that intercepted a call between two operatives inside gaza and they are discussing a misfire inside gaza that took place at the same time as this hospital tragedy. this complicates meetings for president biden who was scheduled to meet with president mahmoud abbas. mahmoud abbas cancelled that meeting and egypt have shut off americans and israelis against talks about humanitarian aid following this disaster at the hospital. we continue to investigate. >> ainsley: it is hard to report the truth, you have the other side, evidence this was not israel, israel did not cause this blast at the hospital. evidence is it is islamic jihad. >> the video with voice notes about what he was seeing. i said, do you see a crater or evidence this was an israeli st strike. we make a conclusion based on facts we were able to obtain. this was a rocket fired from inside gaza that fell short landing on civilians. >> todd: trey, people can believe one thing, but the leaders, king abdullah and al- sisse, if you know the truth and we know the truth, they know the truth. why wouldn't they put meetings with the president back online? why is it in their best interest to give us the cold shoulder? >> trey: politicings. amidsuch a tragic war taking place and loss of life, leaders in middle east want to play politics with the truth and part of our job to hold them accountable when unwilling to look at the evidence. we dig into each leader, parse through why they are making statements. take palestinian president mahmoud abbas, he is not very popular in the west bank and because he has a relationship with the americans, security relationship with the israelis and hard-line palestinians see him as a traitor. this is politically unpopular to point to israeli evidence, even if it is clear as day. that is one reason you may see leaders in the >> aishah: arab world pushing back. we have to continue to gather information, parse through ourselves and look at what is aftermag of the explosion that took place at the hospital. >> brian: even though we give him millions of dollars. >> steve: he's on the move, heading to next assignment. lawrence, what is coming up? >> lawrence: jacqui heinrich live at the white house with more on the president's comment saying it looks like terrorists were responsible for the hospital attack. jacqui, hes he would have national security advisor investigate this, looks like he's reached a conclusion based on evidence released, right? >> jacqui: the u.s. was going to review intelligence it received. the initial statements by the white house did not assign blame. that comment from the president was first time we heard any analysis as to who the u.s. is blaming for this and the president saying based on everything he's seen, he's backing up israel's claim it was not them. it originated in gaza. the israelis have said it was islamic jihad, as trey detailed. moreover issue the president's aim is to shore up a war plan with israel to get a clear picture of strat knowledgy as they take their next step to stomp out hamas. we're signalling to other actors with the president's presence there not to stock this fight or you might face u.s. response. the test that biden and the u.s. will face to maintain resolve standing behind israel. >> president biden: i want you to know, you are not alone. i emphasized earlier, we will continue to have israel's back. we will work to prevent more tragedy to innocent civilians. >> jacqui: prime minister netanyahu speaking to reality we're seeing play out when it comes to civilian casualties. listen. >> civilians are harmed, hamas is responsible and should be held accountable for the civilian casualties. we saw the cost yesterday when a rocket fired by palestinian terrorists misfired and landed on a palestinian hospital. the entire world was outrage, it should not be directed at israel, but the terrorists. >> jacqui: biden's other meetings were cancelled after the hospital bombing. we are told biden will hold phone calls to ensure safe pass onlying for civilians out of gaza. when he gets back to washington, fight he will be meeting on the ground is effort in congress to secure aid for israel, which is important to determining trajectory of this war and how long it lasts to achief their objective, guys. >> jacqui: we don't have a clear idea of the president's schedule over the next couple days. this trip came together quickly and is changing while he was on air force one. any president has not had a meeting that is foreign cancelled on the way to it. it is fluid. officials have been clear about objectives over next few days and weeks and we'll be hearing this morning from the treasury department about sanctions against hamas and i expect that to be first point we hear when they return. >> ainsley: thank you, jacqui. bring in spokesperson for benjamin netanyahu. good morning. we are talking about this hospital explosion and have evidence there was no crater, usualingly when israel strikes it leaves a hole in the ground. instead there was a fire, showing it was misfire from gaza. there is other evidence, the idf posted a phone call between two hamas members in arabic and they admitted, we did this, it was our fault. listen to this. [phone conversation in arabic. ] >> ainsley: it looks like it was the palestinians that did this, they are saying and admitting that. why is the narrative floating around it was israel's fault? >> jacqui: thank you and thank fox news for airing important voices we heard. lies have been spread part of hamas's own propaganda. it is significant president biden sat with prime minister netanyahu and in his voice spoke to the whole world and said no, it is not israel pence that strike on that hospital in gaza. that was islamic jihad and the president said so based on data evidence we have showed him and we put out videos quickly after this happened proving that in fact it was part of a barrage of missiles by jihad. one fell short in the parking lot of that hospital. there is also footage. in the camera of the kibbutz, you can see how the missile fell. this is a tragedy of the war, but this tragedy is on the shoulders of hamas. let me tell you this. the writing was on the wall. since the outbreak of this are wa, 450 missiles fired by terrorist organizations fell short in the gaza strip. >> steve: lawrence. >> lawrence: madam, you know, for those of us that are honest brokers, we can take the evidence and assess it and see what happened here. you have the entire arab world that believes stuff that hamas is saying. when is the prime minister and what do you say to those who hamas and the jihadist? >> that's a great question. anything that comes, any information, any footage, any numbers that come out of the hamas-controlled gaza strip should be taken with a huge grain of salt. this is like taking an account out of north korea, would you trust numbers or footage out of north korea? no. we do investigate and conduct inquiries and know how to do what we do and put out verified information. when i speak numbers and debrief foreign media, i know, and idf know the numbers are real, that footage is real. you can't take hamas word for anything. have you not seen what they have done on the october 7 massacre. how can you take the word from anything coming out of these terrorists who brutally murdered 1400 civilians. you have to understand that everyone in gaza is under hamas control right now. even if you speak to a doctor, a citizen, the gaza health ministry, which is the hamas health ministry, take the reports with a grain of salt. they can't speak their mind and say what they want. they have to be aligned with the general hamas message or pay the consequences. >> brian: with the president there, you cannot put a ground invasion, wouldn't make sense. what percentage of your intelligence reveals hezbollah will hit from the north when you go into gaza in the south? >> well, i cannot speak of any operational military strategy moving ahead, what i can say regarding hezbollah and northern border, we will do everything to protect it and president biden also said to other adversaries across the region, don't. don't try us, don't try israel. it speaks volumes the president arrived in middle of the war to send the message to hamas in south of israel and to our enemies outside the country, if iran or hezbollah. they shouldn't try us. >> steve: you are getting criticism in addition to images of the hospital and we've seen the evidence, we believe your story. the other criticism you are getting regarding people down at the rafah crossing, some people trying to get into egypt and egypt trying to get humanitarian aid into israel -- rather into gaza, you won't open the gate. will that be addressed before the ground war? because something has to give. >> well, the border between the rafah border crossing is border between the gaza strip and egypt. israel is not in control over there. so what i can tell you is that just a few days ago there was coordinated attempt by players to make sure this border crossing will be able to open so that foreign nationals were being held in gaza will be able to leave. what hamas did is that they blocked the exit, they did not let foreign nationals out, which is crazy. israel, we do not want civilian casualties and seek to minimize casualties and hamas want to maximize casualtieses of israelis and palestinians. >> ainsley: y'all are in our prayers and have our full support. god bless you. lawrence. >> lawrence: it is incredible, let's bring in the rabbi. thank you for joining the program. you releeszed this letter calling for unity. you're asking the presidents to stand with you. what has been the response? >> thank you, lawrence, and thank you for coming to the university, the pro-base of pro-israel base in america. it is meanful you are doing the show on our campus. i have to say i've been so inspired by the response, by college presidents across the country. we have formed coalition of public and private and formed with faith-based universities and hbcu's galvanizing against hamas. two principles our statement is based on. one, hamas is a terrorist organization. it is important for people to understand that hamas mission is to destroy jewish state and kill the jewish people. simple, that's it. this is a group that is not interested in a two-state solution, a final solution, that is first. the second principle is that palestinians are not hamas. we need to differentiate palestinians from hamas. the presidents need to lead with moral clarity that we need to bring all of our students and care about all students on our campuses and isolate hamas. hamas is the ones who come with brutality and depravity and we can all gather to fight against hamas. >> lawrence: rabbi, some students, i've been on college campuses and talking with students and some of them openly align themselves with hamas. then there are some that just don't know the information and it is disheartening because some are part of black liberation movement. i remember rabbis from reading history, what my grandmother told me, rabbis stood with the community and jewish allowed black folks to shop at their stores and acknowledge us as people. yet there is a split. do you think we failed our kids by not educating them about what took place in our country and the partnership historically. >> i couldn't agree more, this is a watershed moment. we can fight racism and antisemitism. i'll share a conversation i had with somebody i consider like a brother. michael lomax, president of united negro college fund. who sent this to all the presidents and said to me he remembers those times and he said, i am here for you. and we are here for you and we are going to work together. another conversation with rochelle ford, she told me, ari, moses in the bible held his hand up and jewish people were able to succeed. who was holding moses hands? we are here holding your hand and we support you. you can lean on us and that feeling, that connection inspired me and is galvanizing our country to support this statement and support israel against hamas. >> lawrence: we are with you and that is why we are doing the show live. brian, over to you. >> brian: straight ahead president biden meeting with israeli war cabinet this hour after counterparts cancelled summit with the president. mike pompeo on the snub, what he would have done and president biden's world stage presence, that story is next. somedays, i cover up because of my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now i feel free to bare my skin, thanks to skyrizi. ♪(uplifting music)♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ i'm celebrating my clearer skin... my way. with skyrizi, 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. in another study, most people had 90% clearer skin, even at 5 years. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. thanks to clearer skin with skyrizi - this is my moment. there's nothing on my skin and that means everything! ♪nothing is everything♪ now's the time. ask your doctor about skyrizi, the #1 dermatologist-prescribed biologic in psoriasis. learn how abbvie could help you save. you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers?

they are gold standard of terror groups, they began in the early 1980's. ayatollah took control and started infiltrating lebanon with hezbollah. it is basically -- hit us in beirut and blew up marine barracks in 1989. iran said, i will finance you and train you and you work for us as a military organization and political organization. i want you to run for office, this hezbollah leader claims to have 100,000 fighters. i think it is more, they claim to have 150,000 rockets and had some success because when israelis came to fight hezbollah back in 2006, he was a rock star because they did well. many commanders were fired, one reason was because they were limited and didn't go all in. if they go after hezbollah now, they are all in. i want to talk about political organization, they run for office and win a lot. they have 13 out of 128 seats and sit in parliament. that is hezbollah and what the israelis might be up against. let's expand on what a two-front war would look like. john is an expert on the militant groups like hezbollah and hamas. great to see you, joe. look at hezbollah, do you think they have decided from what you can see to get into this? >> right. thanks for having me. we have seen squirmishes between israel and hezbollah. >> brian: hold off, splitting the screen with live visuals outside the embassy in lebanon. we talk to everybody, nonessential personnel should get out and there were fires last night. go ahead. >> right. just like you were saying, there have been squirmishes and guided missile attack or anti-tank missile attack by israeli troops and idf posts including israeli tanks. they are keeping and attacking at a low level for now. of course that may change if especially if the israelis go into gaza to attack in a ground war. >> brian: from iran's point of view. iran is pulling the strings, this is all about iran. if you want to get out the infection, you get rid of iran in this. they know this. if hamas is about to get crushed, if hezbollah put themselves out, iran could feel like they got a victory to annihilation. if you take gloves off israelis, this there best opportunity for success, don't you agree? >> absolutely. listen, right now hamas is their existence is threatened by israeli and hamas is partner with hezbollah and goes back to iran. i can see hezbollah essentially assisting hamas if they see hamas is in deep trouble, which i think hamas is heading that way now. we are starting to see low-level squirmishes on the northern border, lebanese border. >> brian: when you talk about syria, not necessarily assad, terror activity going israel direction and russians control capital and say you can take out a terrorist when you need to. do you think syria front could be legitimate or something they have to worry about? >> hezbollah work in southern syria and across syria, not only hezbollah, but iranian backed militias and proxy, groups from pakistan and other countries are supported by the islamic republic of iran. in syria, they have fought on behalf of assad's regime. >> brian: what point does the u.s. say or have we decided ahead of time, will we get involved directly? >> that's the million dollar question. trying to contain things, more than anything is the front with hezbollah. if they see hezbollah engage in wide conflict with israel, i can see the united states intervening to stop hezbollah from creating a larger or regional war in the area. it is definitely possible. >> brian: real quick, is there danger to hezbollah lasting throughout this? they are only going to get stronger. >> it is possible. again, like you were saying earlier, israel, if they take the gloves off, they can remove hezbollah from the equation, right now they are more focused on removing hamas in gaza strip. >> brian: just to go against israel. appreciate it. straight ahead, right now on your screen, you have protest breaking out on the west bank. man, this as president biden is in tel aviv meeting with the israeli war cabinet, should be leaving in a little while. lawrence talks to our panel of jewish americans on his trip next. soul of north alabama, here on our family farm. then we partner with family owned mills from maine to mississippi to manufacture our cotton into quality american made fabrics that become our heirloom inspired bedding, towels, blankets and apparel. experience our 100% american made luxury linens for yourself. go to red line cotton dot com and receive 15% off your order with code fox news. >> woman: why did we choose safelite?

>> i mean, i think it is really important to note and recognize that for all the people who are grieving the loss of innocent life in israel and gaza, you have to remember that every single one of those people was alive on october 4, october 5, october 6 and make a distinction between agregz and retaliation. and war is awful, war is hell and innocent people die, but it is super important to remember what caused this and what brought this on. war of self-defense, israel has a right to protect themselves and when you see people holding up hamas flag it is illuminatoring, they are not standing up for sovereign free palestinian state, they are celebrating slaughter of jews and israelis. >> lawrence: the president was just asked as he was with netanyahu about israel taking back gaza. the prime minister released bullet points and retaking gaza was not one of the points. analysts say if they don't take back gaza, it will just be a hotbed for terrorism. what are options? continue to be the bad guy and let them do what they do or take it and we still are the bad guy? >> israel has no desire to reoccupy gaza, that is not in our interest or desires but we cannot live next to a neighbor who wants to wipe israel off the map and kill the jews to live there. we are not left with a lot of options. until we are able to have palestinian leadership, i don't see how things can continue like they have been. this has been going on for a long time and they have rejected peace proposals time and time again. i would love to hear anyone's better suggestion than what is happening right now? >> lawrence: how do you feel the president is doing right now on the world stage? >> the president's strong show of support for israel really does mean a lot. after october 7, israelis felt alone. parents killed in front of children and children killed in front of pane and president biden saying don't made israel realize they are not alone and have america as an ally. i thank him for that and i want to reemphasize the death of civilians and israelis alike is a huge tragedy, but like we've been talking about, the onus is on hamas. hamas started this. hamas wins when israelis are killed and hamas wins when israel retaliates. this can't end until we call hamas what it is, murderous organization that doesn't care about life, not palestinian or israeli life. call them out for what they are very strongly. in america and all over the world. >> lawrence: such a powerful point. rabbi, give us some hope. we need some glimmer as we look at the live pictures of war. we look at live pictures of our embassies overseas with protesters outside our gates. >> i will speak as a jewish american on this question. it is incredibly dark right now. our community is filled with grief. you are right, in the darkness, you can see the flicker of hope. watch how ordinary americans, put aside fringe in congress and those on campuses issue ordinary americans have come together in support of israel. people come over to me in the street and say hello. they tell me they are thinking of israel. i had a woman in my synagogue sourcing supplies and speaking with someone in tennessee and that woman turned her day upside down so she could help israel. talk as a jew. watching the incredible kindness in our community and courage of israelis and i need to tell you, as jews, we have experienced a lot in our history and we are resilient and determined people and meeting this challenge with courage and resolve. >> lawrence: last thoughts on this. >> on that note of how we're meeting that challenge, i have friends and students who put together in response to hamas day of jihad to hatred and terror and evil, they put together global day of loving kindness this sunday in response to evil hamas perpetrates, you stand up and say, no, we're better people, do an extra kind act for our friend, help a neighbor or a stranger on the street, run a soup kitchen, whatever we can to make the world a better place. >> lawrence: gidion, are you hopeful? we talk aboutern ms that rally the jewish. races will stand with the jewish community. >> with better education, we can get there, students need to realize this coalition standing behind pro-hamas, if they realize if you are gay person in gaza in the west bank, you would be thrown off a roof, beheaded or tortured. it is not a place for anybody that loves good and wants to pursue justice and i'm hopeful and faithful as americans we'll stick to what we believe, the good and the just. >> lawrence: thank you all for being so outspoken. it is not lost on us that on this campus, who has been so kind, surrounded by nypd and security. you will eventually have to leave the campus and it will be tough, but a lot of americans stand with you. thank you for joining the program today, we appreciate it. ainsley, back to you in the studio. >> ainsley: excellent job. you are looking at live pictures of our president in tel aviv right now, he met with the prime minister and israel war cabinet and now talking to israeli families, shaking hands with them and hearing stories. he is meeting some of the first responders, as well. we'll watch this throughout the morning. we are joined by katie pavlich, fox news contributor to talk about what is happening in israel. we saw that hospital bombed, so far 500 have died, not including the people trapped under the rubble. israel says it is not our fault, it is y'all's fault, it is a mishap and we have a map of the mishaps, 450 mishaps where they fired rockets and failed to enter the israeli border. we have a phone call of two arabs talking about this and they say it is our fault. listen, and we'll get your reaction on the other side. [recording of arab voices] >> ainsley: we have the evidence, there is not a crater and usually when israel fires off, it leaves a huge hole in the ground over in gaza. no crater in the ground. what do you make of this? why is the rhetoric or propaganda from the other side blaming israel for this? >> katie: it is important to verify the facts and interesting israel never gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to these situations despite their long record of making sure they warn civilians and don't target civilian property like hospitals and use precision-guided missiles that take out their target so there is not collateral damage. number of people hamas claim killed coming from the health industry, controlled by the terrorist organization in the gaza strip. there are questions about that and footage this morning showing it may have been the parking lot hit rather than taking out the hospital. looking at footage yesterday if you cover the way hamas launched rockets over the decades. i went to israel in 2014 when they were launching rockets into israel and visited a hospital where they were moving babies to a permanent bomb shelter. if you look at the way the weapons behave, it is obvious it has come from hamas and islamic jihad. we are hearing they are at each other because of this mishap. they make weapons out of waterpipe and sewer pipes made into rockets. they malfunction all the time and you don't hear from aoc, congressman rashida tlaib, ilhan omar and from the international community about death that happen as result of misfire. one more thing, because people ran with this narrative without looking at this soberly and think about who deserves benefit of a doubt, you have u.s. embassy facing fire being burned and diplomats and people in united states and new york city and washington, d.c. burning flags, israeli flags, burning american flags. this reaction by it is interesting to watch after week of acknowledging. it is on video what hamas has done to israeli citizens and muslim israeli citizens that you would give hamas benefit of the doubt when it came to rocket launching on a hospital. >> ainsley: the president is about to speak joined by secretary blinken on his left, right hand of your screen whchl he starts talking, i will interrupt you. what is your reaction to our president being there? there is criticism saying he is delaying the ground invasion, what is your reaction? >> the show of force is an important thing, rhetoric making it clear this rocket was not launched by israel is very important. the statements have been good, the policies have not changed, keep in mind, un sanctions on iran ballistic missile program. >> >> i've heard the stories. i've heard about the lives lost and changed forever. every isly has been touched by the bloody hand of hamas. what i found is a nation that's united, yes, in grief, but also united in resolve. and we know the pride israel takes in the ability to defend itself by itself. as we want to make very clear, you don't have to do that. because we're here, too, to make sure you're able to defend yourselves and to deal with something that is, i think, on a basic human level almost unimaginable. so hard for any of us to process but understand it has been so important to meet and talk to so many of you because that's what makes it real. and no one understands that and feels that more than the president of the united states, mr. president. >> president biden: folks, there is an irish poet named yates and he wrote a line. too long a suffering makes a stone of the heart. too long a suffering makes a stone of the heart. the thing that i found meeting with all of you is none of your hearts have turned to stone yet. everyone has talked about what you have to do. everyone talked about having to reach out. talked to whether or not they are jew or muslim, reach out. and you know, i have often said -- i remember the first time that i was in israel with gold
