Reporter the last time israel and hezbollah went to war was 2006, israeli response so intend, hezbollah leader admitted h he didnt think that capture of the Israeli Soldiers at the time would lead to the war, if you asked him had he known on july 11 it would lead to a war, would i do it again, he said not. Absolutely not. Yesterday here in tel aviv, a bipartisan delegation of 10 senators came to meet israeli counterparts and families of some hostages and see videos of hamas massacres, they spoke to the press afterwards. Who a moral failing if we did to the stand here with a resolute voice, unshakeable conviction and unbreakable resolve to say we stand with israel. In this war grows it is coming to your backyards. It is genocide. Ham has has not just hamas does not just hate the jewish people, like me, it wants to kill us. Reporter bloomenthal said that iran gave hamas The Green Light to carry out the massacre, white house long stated it sees no direct evidence with irans affect in that decision. They ordered uss Ei Eisenhower to the middle east. This may be a bit more difficult because of the underground network of tunnels they had along time to prepare for a fight. I think you will see a fight that is characterized by a lot of ieds and boobytraps and really grinding activity going forward. Reporter austin ordered pl Ballistic Missile system to the region.

Steve harrigan, Monday Morning thank you there in beirut. President biden of briefed today on the war between israel and hamas, he spoke with israeli Prime Minister b Benjamin Netanyahu, pope francis and other World Leaders in several call, Alec Alex Hoff is joining us live. Reporter good evening, the president has been very much on the grid while in delaware. Spending much of today on the phone, even as he took a Late Afternoon beach walk with the first lady. You could see him pull his cell phone out and talk it didnt end this weekend. Regarding the call with Prime Minister netanyahu, white house said, the leaders affirm there will be continued flow of critical assistant in to gaza, president expressing appreciation for israel support in helping to accommodate release of two american hostages. The two have f spoken 8 times since hamas launched its attack on israel. And the question does linger if the u. S. Has encouraged israel to delay its Ground Operation in to gaza until hamas hostages are freed, we asked the president about that yesterday. Are y you have you any word . Reporter president said he is talking with the israelis, he is speaking to Prime Minister toward, and seastSecretary Of StateAntony Blinken avoided answers that same question. Israel has the right, and obligation to defend itself. Were not in The Business Of Second Guessing what they are doing, were talking to them on a regular basis. About how they did it. Reporter secretary Antony Blinken adding that United States is prepared to respond if any american personnel or troops or targeted by escalating violence that including from iranian proxies. All right alec thank you. Joining us general David Perkins, re retired u. S. Army fourstar general, thank you, is the are the u. S. Forces arrayed in the best way possible for what could be coming in terms of a regional conflict here . Well, there are significant forces there. And the two Carrier Strike groups with other assets that are there, as well as intelligence assets, are being positioned to make a very clear signal to other nations involved whether iran or a proxy like hezbollah that the u. S. Is very intent in containing this conflict to gaza. The israelis are doing their preparation of the battle space for their next operation, i think that u. S. Is mainly focused on making sure that this does not spread to the greater middle east. You look at hezbollah, in lebanon. General, you look at the missiles that were fired up through the red sea intercepted by uss carney by Houthi Rebels in yemen last week, you have to think that governments in the middle east dont control any of that. The lebanese government does not control hezbollah. The government in yemen does not control the Houthi Rebels, this is all about iran is it not . Iran. Is the government there. This calls most of the shots, hamas would not have been what they did in israel without a green light from iran, and hezbollah does anything and houthis as you say, clearly have the go ahead from iran, that is why you have seen both u. S. Administration, and the israeli leadership and very important the Bipartisan Group of u. S. Senators there today, very adamantly passing the message to iran they will be held responsible for actions of their proxies. The iranians, they are not going to be deterred by u. S. Battle groups, are they . In the region . They are not. Only thing that would defer iranians deter iranians if they have some level of assurance they will pay a greater price than benefit they get out of this. I think that is what you are seeing here is an escalation not only of the capabilities of the United States, but of the rhetoric which has not been there. It is a different environment that i think that i iranians have dealt with previously, they would be best to heed, i think, the accusations that are made against them, as well as ramifications of what would happen. If israel goes in on the ground in gaza as seems inevitable, is it equally inevitable that we we a regional conflict . I think it is very clear that the israelis will defeat hamas, destroy their ability to to export terrorism. I dont think it is a given it has to spread to a regional conflict, and the ability to stop it will reside with United States in our other western allies, diplomatic and mil Mille Stressture that can be brought to bay, that is the key part, contain a great irmidder middle east connect. General David Perkins thank you so much. Now for more on what Israel Ground invasion in gaza might look like we bring in aaron cohen, a former Israeli Special forcing member and counterterrorism expert, aaron stu for being here. Whatever it looks like. It is going to be ugly, gaza is a horrible place for israeli troops to go into. How prepared do you believe they are for this . I think the odds are hamas had a lot of time to prepare gaza to turn it to a monster boobytrap, i think tactic we see with hamas in gaza with tunnels will be directly correlated to their ability to hitandrun raids. I believe israel is looking at right now, is how can we reduce hamas ability to to pop out from Underground Hole connected to a tunnel. Infiltration technique from below ground where they brought israeli hostages kidnapped back to the tunnel systems, we have hostage element. That is the tricky part that will dictated by intelligence, i think time now is building as much intelligence, and prepare the second piece or cluster that will be t the incursions. It will be messy. That appears to have happened down today the southern end of gaza. Where Israel Forces went in 2006. We know that done work. Took them 5 years to get him back. Finds those hostages is such a difficult job. It is difficult. Israel has a lot of experience in dealing with it, the brits ma may have invented Hostage Rescue but the israelis have mastered it. Israel has a lot of experience with it, intelligence gathering apparatus some of the highest quality in the world. That is a big piece. But israel is very good at it. Right, they are also very good at, as we saw in wake of the 1972 munich murders, we saw them0 hunt down every terrorist involved in that, you think that is going to happen. I believe there is conversations right now, at hq. And i think that just like we saw in 72 with golda meyer commissioned a covert operation to really go after it and liquidate key leaders. All of these key terrorists, i think israel is talking about that very significantly right now, i would not be surprised in President Biden was in on some of those pieces there israel advantage being able to select it didnt on israel making sure hamas and hezbollah and the leaders of the Terrorist Organizations are a high price for the massacre that happened on october 7, israel again with their Hostage Rescue and intelligence and experts as being able to hunt down, they could take 15 or 20 years, but israel will go after them, it will be with vengeance. Briefly you think that the hamas has prepared for this. But israel is better prepared than it ever has been for what is going to be a tough fight. Agreed, israel has a lots of catching up to do, they had to Disband Counterterrorism Units after oslo agreements. We speak the language and culture. We know the mannerism, you have 20 years of catching up to do, i think you will see riisrael do what it does best, they are smart commanders. All right, aaron well be back to you. Thank you so much. Coverage of the on going war between israel and hamas continues. After the break. Jonathan israel continues to strike at hamas in gaza, and strike at what israel says are testers in west bank are terrorists in the west bank, and hostilities ramp gd up in lebanon between israel soldiers and iran backed group hezbollah. Joining us now is etay milna, in new york. Thank you very much. I was struck by your Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu telling troops to this is due or die. Quote, they should die. This seems like he is framing this as very much a Battle For The Future of israel. Yes, jonathan, there is no doubt that if a war should start from the north, it would be a major one. Not the same as we have in the south. With hamas. Hezbollah is much stronger army. Or brigade. And much better equipped. It has 200,000 rockets. They are more accurate and more substantial. But were preparing for any scenario, i can assure you, if they choose to start a war with israel, like the Prime Minister said, that would be the biggest mistake they have ever done. Jonathan this you are sitting there in new york, do blu do you believe as you talk with World Leaders and people at united nations, israel is getting the support it needs and in your view deserves . I think it depends on who are the countries that were talki about, if we talk about western world, yes, start with the unwaivers support of United States not just with word bus with actions. Two Aircraft Carrier that president sent to our region. And also the security consul on tuesday. And decision that the u. S. Is promoting. But if talking about other countries, the nonaligned countries of muslim world and china and russia, no. Were do not getting support the opposite. Jonathan and ita y was a struck by King Abdullah of jordan criticizing israel saying there is no military solution here, when you get a moderate in middle east like King Abdullah saying those words, that is not good for tamping down the atmosphere, is it . You have to issue that King Abdullah is coming from a country that has roughly 70 population that is ethnically malaysians. Palestinians, very hard for him to stay neutral on it. And so if most of the the public in our country they dont see same reality as we do for example, the news about the hospital, a few days ago, cnn and fox news and American Networks were very quick to come up with the truth. But, the arab world, network like aljazeera are still sticking up with the lie this israel struck the hospital and killed 500 people. And itay on mood of israeli peal, it has been now people it has been two weeks almost 48 hours since the horrific Terrorist Attacks. Are you concerned that the Israeli Citizens are running out of patients, they want po see patience, they want to see action more than what they are seeing the Ground Invasion and the end of hamas. The beginning of the end with those tanks rolling across the border in to gaza . I think Israeli Public understands it since two weeks and 48 hours as you said, that there is no w
