>> all right, hour two, we're happy to have you. we're looking at a number of protests planned pretty much around the world, a big one in washington d.c. where we're expecting north of 100,000, maybe a minimum, a massive demonstration and similar in london, paris and iran today. the themes are the same, more pro-palestinian and the rage continues. the separate rage and the comments that came out of hezbollah leader yesterday telling the united states that you will pay, essentially for backing of israel and this unacceptable war against hamas, said that all options remain on the table, not concerned about u.s. warnings to stay out of this conflict. in the middle of that, of course, keep in mind that it's hezbollah and forces of hezbollah in the north, in lebanon, that have been, you know, inciting these attacks and others on israel. that's exactly where you were going to find steve harrigan in northern israel right now on how that part of this war and possibly an expanding one could go down, steve. >> that's right, neil, those hezbollah fighters out of lebanon about two miles behind me fire rockets into northern israel pretty much on a daily basis. now, israeli military today allowed a three-hour window for palestinians to move south along a main highway in gaza, as many as 1.7 million people have left their homes in gaza to try and flee the fighting. that's about 70% of the population, as the israeli military has encircled gaza city, armed bulldozers have done in to try to pave the way for troops, of course, to eliminate hamas as the overall goal, a terrorist organization that killed 1400 people in israel on october 7th and still holds roughly 240 hostages. and here in the north, we are seeing rocketing pretty much on a daily basis. tens of thousands of people in northern israel have left their homes and many of those who stay really live in a climate of fear. >> they always ask questions where hamas is going to our home, or we are going to evacuate it again in another city. it's not good for everybody. >> the hezbollah leaders said all options remain on the table including an all-out second front. in the meantime, the israeli forces in the north remain on high alert. neil: steve harrigan, be friend -- steve, be safe, and used to so many war zones. and another development out of the blue, turkey is recalling its ambassador to israel for consultation. we don't know what that is about, but of course, he has been very critical of israel and this disproportional and crazy war. and former israeli ambassador to the united kingdom, ambassador, thank you for taking the time. >> my pleasure. neil: let me ask you about this move on the turkey to recall your ambassador to israel. and their ambassador. what's going on here, do you know? >> turkey unfortunately refuses to call hamas terrorists and we ask, we'd ask anyone, what do you call people who shoot babies in their carts? what do you call people who behead, what do you call people who enter civilian houses and machine gun the people that they find. what do you call people to murder parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents. what do you call people who burn people alive. what do you call people who herd concert goers into a ravine and shoot them? >> even said that, you're quite right erupted four weeks ago this very day, sir. we have the protests, all pro-palestinian. first of all, later today in washington d.c., a big one in london, a big one in paris, a big one the other day in lisbon, portugal. we've seen them in rome, in athens, another huge one in iran, no shock there. but it does raise an issue and whether you'd consider it's justified or not that you're losing the pr war? it's as if what happened four weeks ago never occurred. what do you say? >> i think some of the protest is just disbelief that hamas did these crimes. yes, it's like a form of historic revisionism and this is only as you said four weeks ago. they deny hamas' atrocities, at least some of the protests, but let's look at the content of what they're saying. gaza has been ruled by hamas now for 16 years. and what have they got to show for it? the people of gaza suffer. the people of gaza have rampant poverty. the people of gaza live under authoritarian terrorist regime. surely, people who have the real interest of the palestinians at heart should be supporting israel in our campaign to destroy hamas because if we succeed and we will succeed in eliminating hamas, that's not just good for israel because that will bring safety and security to the people of southern israel who won't have to live in the constant fear of these brutal terrorist massacres like october 7th. that's ultimately good for the people of gaza who deserve better than this autocratic extremist terrorist regime that don't give a hoot for their well-being. neil: i'm glad you pointed that out, ambassador, they gave up complete control of it 15, 16 years ago and this has been hamas-run area, country, zone, whatever you want to call it. so, whatever their beefs with the way palestinians have been treated and what they're enduring is on hamas controlling it, right? i mean, and yet, the message you get in these worldwide rallies is that this is all on israel and this response to this terror attack is disproportional and mean and route ruthless. what do you say? >> first of all, you're 100% right, neil. people forget that people left the gaza strip in 2005. there is no israeli control of gaza and used this out of reflex. israel doesn't control the gaza strip, hamas unfortunately controls the gaza strip. that's why we've had all the problems, but to all the people who want to see peace in the middle east. they have to understand something else. they have to understand that hamas has been and continues to be the most bitter enemy of peace and reconciliation. because hamas says my country israel has no right to exist not in any borders. hamas says any arab who negotiates or signs a peace treaty with israel, heaven forbid in the hamas opinion, yes, is a traitor to islam and the arab world and you know, neil, you know what they think has to be done to traitors and finally, hamas says every jew, every jew is a legitimate targets for murder and so if you believe in peace, one has to understand that hamas is the bitter enemy of any peace and reconciliation in the middle east. and in defeating hamas, i hope we can create some space for pragmatic voices to fill the vacuum. neil: i know you're busy and pay attention to chance, those not fans of yours or israels, and one rally in the getting together for the big washington one is that from the rivers to the sea, we shall be free. what they're talking about is the eradication of israel. there's no other way to interpret it. your thoughts? >> 100%. if you say from the river to the sea, that mean from the mediterranean sea to the jordan. neil: right. >> there's no room for compromise. israel must be destroyed, and i don't know what they want to do with all of us israelis. yes, we can only presume the worst, but people who chant that sort of slogan are not interested in peace, they're not interested in dialog, not interested this reconciliation, they want to kill us. they want to destroy my country and they are my enemy and i think they're the enemy of anyone who wants to see peace in the mead and middle east. and what they're proposing is anything, but democracy. they're supporters of hamas, they want to see a theocratic autocracy that subsgates women. neil: you talk about hamas being eradicated and the goal is to take them out. i don't know how far that goes, but at the very least it's going to put israel in a tough position. who runs gaza, how is gaza decided. hamas likes to climb it was the duly elected forces that palestinians put in power. we all know that those elections were not exactly, shall we say, on the up and up. having said that, what would israel's role be in gaza and would it pick-- would it enforce governments more friendly to israel? >> we're only in this war because it was forced upon us. we didn't initiate this conflict. we're responding to their attack on israel when they invaded us on october 7th and butchered our people, but war has been forced upon us and we'll win it now on our terms. there is no substitute, but victory. what happens afterwards, we're already having preliminary discussions with the americans, with other good friends and allies about what we want to see in gaza afterwards. i can say the following, israel doesn't want to stay there permanently. what we are concerned about is we want to make sure that when we-- this is over, we'll have a situation in gaza where there is no longer a terrorist organization that is capable of committing the sort of atrocity that we saw on october 7th. that's our number one goal and we believe that will be achieved when hamas' authoritarian and dictatorial rule in gaza is finally ended. neil: are you comfortable egypt, particularly qatar, having a role in that region's fate? i say particularly qatar because a lot of hamas lieutenants and operatives live in qatar and yet, qatar is being praised for opening up this rafeh passageway. do you feel feel qatar, particularly qatar, to decide this region? >> neil, once again, you're correct because in qatar, you have the leadership of hamas. they live there as the guests of the regime in five-star hotels, eating in very fancy restaurants and they're very expensive suits, yes, that's where hamas' political leadership is. now, the qatar people say we have this dialog with hamas and that brings good things, you know, that we can get good things from that day log. dialog. so far i would say getting four hostages out over 240, that's pitiful. i had 'd say to qataris, the pr is in the pudding. and if you're hosting hamas, would you host al-qaeda, isis? and if you think hosting this terrorist group brings benefits. you have to prove it, you have to show it. we have failed to see anything significant. neil: you know, i'm not telling you numbers you don't know inside and out far better than me, mark, but jews represent about 2 1/2% of the population on this planet and account for close to 70% of the harassment and attacks. how do you feel about that? >> unfortunately, anti-semitism has not died. my father was a survivor of the holocaust and after the holocaust, there was a feeling that maybe, you know, history, humanity had learned its lesson that people would finally understand where this very ancient hatred can lead and that anti-semitism would be discarded on the ash heap of history where it belongs, but that's not true. unfortunately, we've seen across the globe a resurgence of anti-semitism where jews and the jewish state is blamed for everything under the sun. you see it on the extreme right, see it on the extreme left, see it among the radical islamists. if you read the hamas charges, it's an anti-semitic document, jews perverting the morals of young women, jews being responsible for the world wars and property, and out of the zions, the anti-semitic poetry. and i think we have to understand, unfortunately, that the anti-semitism has a staying four and met more met amour and when people chant from the river to the sea, yes, palestine will be free, but saying that my people, the jewish people have no right, and they want to destroy the only country on the planet, where the jews have national self-determination. what's that all about unless it's about the jews? >> ambassador, thank you very much. mark regev, thank you very much, be well, be safe. >> thank you, neil. neil: we have more on the protests taking place in washington d.c. and paris and we see what's going on in rome and so many others, london. a pro-palestinian themed all of that, at a time when the world is far from coming together on this. after this. lowe's knows black friday savings should be more than just one day. that's why we're giving you black friday deals every day. where you can find the best value all november long. shop now and save big, in-store or online. i hope you all like potatoes... these are fresh from my garden. what?

oh yeah. order at weathertech.com and don't forget weathertech gift cards. >> all right. something to pass along right now as the hamas war continues. u.s. citizens can leave lebanon. the u.s. state department recommends that u.s. citizens leave right now with the commercial flights available. lebanon is a strong hezbollah center of operation and has been launching attacks from the north from lebanon into israel, as you heard our steve harrigan discuss, and obviously, this has been untenable even though we heard from the hezbollah leader yesterday warning the u.s. that its options are on the table that there wasn't any response planned dramatically on the part of hezbollah even though as steve harrigan reported that hezbollah rockets had rained down on israel throughout this conflict now for better than three weeks. but again, whether this has anything to do with that or just the overall discord and solving of anything approaching normalcy in lebanon, anyone's guess, but the message to americans there from our state department, just get the hell out. mike emanuel, following protests across the world, washington d.c., the biggest pro-palestinian one. we've seen perhaps ever. hello, mike. >> yeah, a number of advocacy groups, some pro-palestinian others anti-war are busing in membership to washington d.c. for what we expect to be a massive rally, calling for a cease-fire in the middle east and expressing support for the palestinian people. we've got lots of signage at this point, some music, and a growing crowd which is expected to get bigger by the hour. this is strategically located in washington's freedom plaza between the washington state capitol building and the white house. and the protesters are expected to head to the white house and perhaps send a message to president biden. here is a list of the co-sponsors, palestinian youth movement, people's for recommend, national students for justice and palestine. protesters coming from all over, including by bus from chicago, that's part of why officials here are expecting this to be a very large, pro-palestinian, pro-cease-fire gathering. some central themes today calling on president biden to stop aid to israel. calling for a cease-fire in the middle east, and calling for freedom for the palestinian people to be clear, neil, while i see plenty of palestinian signs, and palestinian flags, i have not seen the name hamas anywhere, neil. >> so, they are not saying that this is a-- you know, a hamas sympathetic rally, that this is looking at the palestinians under hamas control in that region. did they ever mention that, that whatever issues they have with israel, this has been under hamas control now for the better part of 16, 17 years? >> and we'll see when we get to speeches later, neil. maybe some people will express support for hamas, but at this point it seems to be a lot of ethic type, palestinian-americans turning out for friends and relatives in the palestinian territories, but so far, not as political in terms of hamas and hamas' leadership of the palestinian territories. neil: all right. thank you, mike emanuel. as mike was wrapping up there, of course, he will be there all day for the big protest here. we're learning right now, antony blinken, he's having a joint presser with fellow foreign min administers, their versions of the secretary of state, i should say, from jordan and egypt, right now, interesting comment out of egypt's foreign minister demanding an immediate cease-fire without conditions. jordan has been pretty much echoing the same sort of sentiment and you hear that throughout the arab world, and saudi arabia as well. antony blinken argues that it would leave hamas to regroup. and we get caught up in the semantics of this. a pause in operations and activity is something that the biden administration has been pushing on israel to allow safe passageway out for some who need to get out, but of course, one of the things that the israeli government has pointed out, some nefarious characters are getting out right now, that includes some hamas fighters, so they're going slow on that and whether they're calling it a pause in operations or an outright ceasing of them from the netanyahu government, it's just not happening, not at all. we'll have more. veteran homeowners. have you tried getting a home improvement loan at a bank lately? good luck. some of those rates can be 12 to 15% or higher. our rates are a fraction of what some of those banks charge. veterans across the country are using the newday 100 va loan to get cash to update and improve their homes. whether you need to replace your roof windows or hvac or want to upgrade to your dream kitchen, call newday. she runs and plays like a puppy again. his #2s are perfect! he's a brand new dog, all in less than a year. when people switch their dog's food from kibble to the farmer's dog, they often say that it feels like magic. but there's no magic involved. (dog bark) it's simply fresh meat and vegetables, with all the nutrients dogs need— instead of dried pellets. just food made for the health of dogs. delivered in packs portioned for your dog. it's amazing what real food can do. >> all right, now, secretary of state antony blinken is meeting with counterparts from egypt and jordan and an oman jordan presser going on. talking about threading the needle, talking about israel responding to the terror attacks in the country and the gentleman with whom he's standing up there, saying that i will has gone too far. should be a pause in activity and more for an outright cease-fire for the time being, but delicately balancing the role of egypt and qatar and the sort of passageway to get people out of there and aid into there and it's caused problems with israel saying that this aid, that might get in, allows some hamas militants to get out. and then there's the separate issue of qatar itself and whether it is really a helpful or well-intentioned friend since it's home to a lot of hamas players and billionaire operatives who call qatar home. it was an issue that i raised with doug burgum, presidential candidate only yesterday, concerned about that. so you share this distrust of qatar and whether their intentions are all good? >> yes, just because we've got open lines of communications with someone and they say they're the switzerland of the middle east and say they're our ally, you look at the track record. over the last decade pushed 1.5 billion dollars into gaza in support of hamas and then you take a look at this hostage, praising him right now, 240 hostages, four have been released. we're supposed to praise them for that? they're housing the leaders of hamas and where they're housing them. 20 miles away from our biggest air base in the middle east. the amount of dollars that we're in. if we're negotiating from our strengths in this position, we should say, qatar, do your airways, you want to be flying to the united states? do you want to have full diplomatic relationships? do you have a full economic relationship with us? then we need to see something more than two americans come out of this. we should be escalating the pressure up. neil: so you're disappointed in whatever conversations we've had have gotten, two americans right now and hope half a dozen more could follow, but that's not enough to justify. you've been communicating with them? >> well, i think the communication ought to be, hey, we need to see americans being released or things are going to change in our relationship. neil: so, should we be trusting qatar in this. mike pompeo joining us, a former secretary of state himself. great seeing you. what do you think of this concern with qatar and the role it's playing here, kind of like a dual role. >> neil, it's great to be with you. i think we should take a step back. and i heard governor burgum speak about this, it was with the full part of the america. a model adopted by the biden administration, you can give money to hamas, to unrah, the west bank, billions to the ien iranians and they'll behave like normal human beings and of course, we know that to be false. we've put all arab states in a difficult position to put iran first, we negotiated with iranians, stopped enforcing sanctions, paid $6 billion to get back hostages and now they hold more. we need to get it right in america before we accuse our friends and allies doing things not to protect americans, we need to first protect our own. obviously, qatar does house and help call home a lot of the hamas billionaires and operatives. one or two of them, might have snuck right back in, into egypt and potentially to qatar itself. so i do wonder now where this guys because obviously, israel wants all hamas elements out certainly out of gaza and then the question becomes, secretary, who in its place? >> neil, that's the right question. i'm confident that there's lots of people thinking about this today. what does this look like after israel is successful at doing precisely what prime minister netanyahu described. this is deeply necessary to watch the american leadership talk about positives and cease-fire and hinder hamas, for israel, it's dangerous to think that hamas could continue to rule. they've destroyed their lives in the last decade and a half and no reason to think they wouldn't do so again. if you eliminate hamas, the infrastructure sitting inside of gaza, political tension infrastructure, that's good. you can create an infrastructure, a civil set of leaders there. neil, let's not look past what the reality sthe address for this problem isn't hezbollah and lebanon, it's not the houthis in there and the problem is the ayatollah in iran. and to the tune there's no costs to iran we will be fighting against iran for decades to come. hundreds of thousands of dollars from revenue from oil sales from iran have gone into the coffers of the very actor that provided the resources that killed americans and killed 1400 israelis. neil: you know, secretary, our response to these attacks on american soldiers, 28 over the last couple of weeks, is to attack some of these proxies, usually in syria. i don't know what they bomb, but they go after those, but never iran itself. should we be looking at iran itself? >> yes. neil: what's the implication of that? >> i think, yeah, look. look, when we say go after iran. first thing you have to do, you have to speak about it and you remember, neil, when this kicks off the administration was at great pains to say we see no direct evidence to say that iran is involved. that's silly. everyone knows that iran is involved in this. we know that the iranian leaders met with them in beirut. they are deeply connected with what hamas is doing each and every day, funding it, training it. what does it mean? we demonstrated what that looked like in the trump administration, they were firing artillery into the u.s. embassy in baghdad, solemein i was looking to take it off the map. nancy pelosi screamed at me, you're creating the conditions for world war iii. we installed american deterrent, serious, draw a red line, if you do x we'll do y. they did x, we did y. i hope the administration will say if i continue on this path, we'll do this. clandestinely, there are so many tools in the arsenal. it's the right thing for palestinians in the west bank, it's absolutely right for israelis and imperative for gulf arab states who are trying to move towards modernity, many who signed peace agreements with israel during our watch. it's imperative for them that iran be countered and that hamas be destroyed. it's not just about america, we should get it right for our own people, but this matters to the region as well. neil: as the guy who used to run the state department, what do you make then, secretary, of u.s. citizens told to flee lebanon now through this unpredictable area, now doubt referring to hezbollah and its impact on israel. >> i don't know the significance of the intelligence today. it's probably the case americans should get out of there, probably significant risk that this will continue to expand. i hope that if it expands, i hope that if hezbollah actually launches serious attacks against israel, not that even artillery round has been fired as we speak aren't serious, but i hope that israel will be given the space what they need to do, that is to take down hezbollah as well and only the united states can lead the counter charge to prevent iran from becoming directly involved with us. we can do it through russia, through our allies and friends, we can convince, don't get into this. israel is the home of the jewish home, they didn't ask to get into it and they're going to finish it. if we get it wrong, continued expansion in this region and indeed throughout the world is deeply real. neil: secretary, thank you very much and for your service to this country. going all the way back to your days at west point. mike pompeo, the former secretary of state. >> thank you, neil, have a good saturday. neil: the same to you. mike tobin meanwhile has been hearing this and watching this unfolding and joins us right now from israel with the latest. mike. >> and neil, as the sun went down we saw the activity pick up out here. we saw a lone rocket come out of the gaza strip and it was going in the direction we usually don't see. shortly after this rocket launched, we started getting alerts that the town of lot was the target the far southern end of israel, usually not the target from gaza rockets. it's been a target from some of the rockets from yemen that came up the red sea. that was unique. israeli aircraft are firing in the northeast corner. gaza strip where a fight has been going on about three days, and that's the fringes of where the fighting has been taking place. the really intense fighting in the center of gaza city where israelis say they have the population center is your rounded, if you will, and a report coming out of hamas claiming to have damaged a couple of israeli armored vehicles, very deep in the population center of gaza city. that would indicate whether that claimed vets out or not, that's the area of intense fighting at this point. you have secretary of state antony blinken frantic shuttle diplomacy or trying to keep this war from spilling over into a regional conflict. this, after he stopped in israel and once again, failed to persuade prime minister benjamin netanyahu, this time trying to persuade him for a humanitarian pause in the fighting so aid could get to the palestinian civilians. >> we need to do more to protect the palestinian civilians. we've been clear that as israel conducts this campaign to demeet hamas how it does so matters, it matters because it's the right and lawful thing to do. >> i've made it clear we're going with full steam ahead and that israel refuses any temporary cease-fire that does not involve the release of the kidnapped israelis. >> meantime, a u.s. officials has confirmed to our jennifer griffin that hamas fighters attempted to sneak out with the sick and the wounded who were exiting the gaza strip through rafah exiting into egypt. these are people they made a list, their names were caught on that list and they were vetted and didn't get to go, but they slowed those trying to exit the war. neil: thank you, mike. i don't know if you or your crew get sleep, but your reporting is incredible. right now i want to go to the former ambassador to the united nations, a senior member of the knesset. let me review what we heard out of antony blinken and counterparts from jordan and many other arab countries. to a man, a lot of those have been telling the secretary, they want a cease-fire, at least a pause in activity. and benjamin netanyahu made it clear there's not going to be a pause. is israel feeling the pressure of that? >> we do feel the pressure, but we push back, neil. a cease-fire, we had a cease-fire until october 7th, until hamas attacked us brutally. today, we mark a month that we are more than 240 kidnapped israelis, including 30 babies, so we ask ourselves, why to cease-fire? we're on a mission to eliminate hamas and once they will surrender and release the hostages, we can talk about a cease-fire. one point to make very clear, that when you give a cease-fire to your enemy, you actually allow them to refuel, to restage their positions, to take pictures of our troops and basically, it will increase the level of casualties over our troops, the civilians and the hostages. they can also move the hostages to a different location. so we don't see any reasoning for a cease-fire. neil: you know, ambassador, you're very familiar with these protests being planned all around the world, some going on as we speak in paris and london and pretty soon in washington d.c. these are all deemed pro-palestinian rallies and some go with flags saying they're from hamas. having said that, does that bother you? in any way that israel is being faulted, incited for overresponding, for being disproportionally i think as turkey's president erdogan had said, insane? how do you feel about all that? >> neil, we cannot ignore those voices, the incitement, the hate, even the secretary-general of the u.n., secretary gutierrez became a spokesperson of hamas and blaming us for not allowing hamas to use red cross ambulances, so, those people are crossing the lines every day, but we're in a war. we have to win this war and we believe that our allies taught us to understand more clarity for fighting evil. you know, now we can tell who are our real friends and who are our enemies. take turkey, for example, they tried to come closer to israel only a few weeks ago, erdogan met prime minister netanyahu in new york in the general assembly and now inciting every hour against israel. so we know we have the support, maybe not the majority, but the moral majority we do have. neil: you know, i think you and i have chatted about this before, ambassador, so i'm sorry if i'm repeating myself. there's been criticism of israel for not releasing for the world to see some of the video and images of that horrific attack four weeks ago today. you shared it with news organizations, our own included, but it's simply too horrific to share with audiences. some had said, i guess there was an argument, even within the knesset that it should be released on a global feed for everyone to see so there would be no chance for anyone to say it didn't happen, sort of modern day holocaust denier situation, which we're seeing now. a lot of people believe it's all israel propaganda. does it bother you that people are of that viewpoint still? do you have any regrets of the way you handled the release of that footage, perfectly understandable to share horrific images, i've seen the images, that people don't believe it because they haven't seen it? >> the debate, in taking to the south, the delegations of diplomates almost every day and i share with them the horrible pictures and videos. i think it's important, but what we do have an internal debate about it, you know, we don't want the israelis to see the videos while we're at war, but i think it's important to share with the international community. neil: one other question i had i've raised with a number of other guests, ambassador, the role of qatar in negotiating the safe passageway, through, and what have you, with egypt. the attention that qatar gets, it's friendly to hamas and many in hamas enjoying the good life in qatar. do you trust qatar? >> absolutely not. you know, qatar they developed the good ties with the bad guys. they used to negotiate with for the taliban with the u.s. and now opened the channels to iran and hamas and they know that the u.s. and israel, we need them now to have some kind of negotiations, but we don't trust them. and i think once we finish the war, we have to make it very clear, that if you side with hamas, you cannot be a partner, you cannot host the world cup. you cannot be welcomed by western democracies if you sponsor hamas. neil: ambassador, we'll see what happens on that front. danny danon, former ambassador for israel to the u.n. ambassador, be safe. >> thank you, neil. neil: there are a lot of cross-currents going on. the protests gripping the world and pretty much to a protest, not across the board we've seen some pro-israeli protests, but the big one right now seen in london, huge throngs expressing support for the palestinians. making no mention of hamas per se, but blaming on israel their plight, even though for the last 16, 17 years gaza and whatever you can say of the conditions there, were decided by hamas, in full control of that region, responsible for that region. israel had nothing to do with that region. stay with us. hi, i'm jason. i've lost 228 pounds on

was wooed for president of the united states, he said i want one big thing happens in virginia if i were to entertain it at all. that's to flip virginia from democrats to republicans, and that virginia is nfor lovers, and that's on the ballot as we speak. >> good morning, neil, that statewide campaign for governor youngkin he's been on a bus tour for republicans to vote early. they're trying to flip the republicans and push the agenda in richmond. it's a close one. voice between divided government in virginia or unified republican control of the legislation and executive, every senate and house seat is up this election and only a few of competitive races in the state. we're in one of those districts, virginia 31. a state senate contest about an hour test of washington. youngkin has campaigned here, part of his approach to get republicans in places like loudon counties to vote and vote early. >> these races are incredibly tight and we need to get everybody out to vote and that's why we have been working so hard on early voting. >> now the virginia public access project says the share of early in-person votes cast by republicans is likely up more than two percentage points. the mail votes increased nearly four points for republicans. and they have issues atop the list of republican voters and virginia voters, democrats are hitting abortion and g.o.p. plans to institute limits beyond 15 weeks. >> we have multiple paths to victory. we see multiple routes to get there and we believe wholeheartedly that this is going to come down to, you know, a handful of votes and potentially one seat. >> democrats are also getting some help from out of state. former president obama has recorded robo calls and they're running in the commonwealth of virginia

mind. protests on behalf of palestinians, and again, this has been echoed in rome, it's been echoed in paris, a host of cities through the last four weeks since the war started. can you believe it? i remember being on this very show four weeks ago and hour, now two hours watching it closely. and confirmed that his sister, is being held by hamas after being captured in the attacks back on october 7th. it's good to have you. how are you holding up? >> thank you. thank you for having me on the show. i am holding up. i don't have any other choice, but keep on moving and doing everything that i possibly can for my sister, so-- >> can you tell us how she became a hostage. >> we're hopeful. neil: how did she become a hostage? >> of course, i will share it with you. she went to visit her parents-in-law, a few kilometers from gaza. she went there with other husband and their little child, a three years old daughter. and they were captured 10:20 a.m. in the morning, four weeks ago already, it's impossible to imagine, but that's the situation we are at the moment. the terrorists firstly took her mother-in-law and killed her in the street next to the house. i saw the footages of that on social media because hamas bragged about it and published it. they also took carman, her sister-in-law and also held hostage in gaza, and they took them and put them into a vehicle driving towards gaza and the story is that she did a very brave act alongside her husband and they decided to seize an opportunity and run out of the moving car. they just jumped out and she had the child in her arms and running for her life, trying to save herself, her baby, but at a certain point understood that those two cannot be reconciled. like she's not running fast enough in order to save her child she have to let go of her and she gave very motherly, but super difficult act, to him so he can run faster and hide somewhere, which he did. and he hide in that area for over 12 hours. no water, no food, silence, and start today walk slowly through dark time until he got in the morning back to the kibbutz and informed that they are safe and healthy, but don't no what happened to yarden and last saw her hiding behind the tree shelter her body from the bullets. i went in the battlefield almost a week searching for her with army troops and they came to the conclusion by the evidence on the ground that she was recaptured and held hostage inside of gaza. neil: you've heard nothing from her since? >> no. as you probably know, hamas is the worst organization in the world. doesn't release any information about the hostages, not a list, not a proof of life. doesn't allow the red cross to visit. so we cannot get information about my sister's status, but we believe that yarden is very strong. as we see she's resourceful so i believe that she is being held in a healthy situation because we also know there were no signs of blood or injury in the area where she was kidnapped again from. so, this is the information that we hold. >> you know, very few hostages have been released by hamas. benjamin netanyahu said we can't talk about a cease-fire, a pause, any pause on anything until all hostages are released. what do you think of his position? >> yeah, this is-- this is an accurate position, i don't think that there could be any other moral position to this issue. i'm happy to see the u.s. involved involvement in this-- in our support in this war and in this fight that we are holding as a frontier of the western world, but in the issue of cease-fire or a pause, humanitarian pause i'm not against at all. we don't want to see civilians suffering for-- in vain, but it cannot be humanitarian only from one side and this is something i want to hear more firmly, also from the u.s. side and in this instant, our prime minister is right and he's accurate and we should consider a humanitarian pause from bolt sides and include the release of the hostages, or at least a certain kind of humanitarian gesture, visit of the red cross, proof of life, anything that we cannot ignore them. this is a complete immoral stand. neil: gili, thank you very much. i know it must be difficult just to deal with this now in the middle of this onslaught, just amazing. we hope the best for yarden roman-gat your sister and that you'll be reunited with her soon. gili roman, again, in the middle of that. >> thank you for standing with us. neil: thank you. we are going to continue following this as we have on fox all day long. continuing coverage now after this. ♪ >> this
