Turning now to the Middle East the israeli military announcing it killed yet another top Ranking Hezbollah Official in an airstrike capping off a deadly week in lebanon for the ironic bacterial group lost its leader and an israeli strike on friday. In a moment well get Reactionsn Center Chris Cohen sits on the foreign relations committee. We turn to Trey Yingst. Good morning over the past 24 hours hundreds of hezbollah positions have been targeted across lebanon. Strong explosions rocked the skyline of beirut this weekend. Targeting specifically the stronghold that was hit with the israeli airstrikes taking out another Hezbollah Commander for this aftpaidthis after Israel Cd Saturday it killed hezbollah leader this is given a new phase in unpredictable chapter in the same Strike Deputy Commander and i runs on rgc was also killed prompting more feels iran could decide to directly retell it for the killings israeli forces on high alert for possible response senior Defense Official told Fox News over the weekend despite the continued Rocket Fire from 11 on the belief is that hezbollah is too disorganized at the moment to launch a serious counterattack of their own for this comes as a Report Today indicate israel is conducting limited Minor Ground operations into lebanon in preparation for an expected Ground Invasion. Thousands of israeli troops are currently staging on israels northern border as President Biden calls for a ceasefire. Mr. President. [inaudible] time to Cease Fire progressively respond to the missile attacks on the warships In The Red Sea . We are responding. The War Unravels further lebanese civilians continue to evacuate Southern Lebanon and southern beirut. Resulting in the displacement of families in the heart of the lebanese capitol. Some of lebanons most vulnerable residents with nowhere to go. We are here because in our area there are strikes and bombings. Yesterday strikes were unbelievable. We had fled before and then went back to our homes. But then the bombing got more and more intense. So we came here waiting for netanyahu to stop the bombing so we could go back home. The united states is clearly looking for a diplomatic offramp here to avoid a broader regional war across the Middle East and prevent israel from entering lebanon on the ground. Shannon Trey Yingst reporting from israel thank you very much. Joy to me now at Delaware Democratic senator Chris Coons member of the senate foreign committee. Welcome back good to have you. Thanks its always good to be on with you. Shannon i want to start with prime Minister Netanyahu said at the un just days ago. As long as hezbollah chooses the path of war, israel has no Choice And Israel has every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their homes safely. And that is exactly what we are doing. Shannon he went on to imagine Ask Americans to imagine what would happen if towns like El Paso and san diego, Border Towns were taking incoming fire turned into complete ghost towns. He said american officials would not stand for that for a single day. And yet, this administrations continued to call for a ceasefire. You know incoming has been happening since october 8. Why should we ask them to stand down . Do you think thats the right thing to do . Lets be clear Vice President harris put out a forceful statement as did President Biden that i join in saying hassan Nasrallah Isnt murderous terrorists red american blood on his hands on the attack on the american Marine Barracks back in the 1980s. He has killed thousands of innocent civilians, lebanese, syrian, as well as israeli. As you said in your question, they have been raining at rockets and missiles onto northern israel since October 7. I think israel is justified in their strikes against hezbollah. The call for a ceasefire is really because of a concern a Ground Invasion of Southern Lebanon by the idf might well turn into a long and grinding War Of Attrition and Concerns Iran may well now retaliates. Butts, President Biden Vice President harris are clear we will stand by our Ally Israel and defend them against attacks by iranian proxies or direct attacks by iran. Shannon on 100g op Colleagues N Johnson sees it differently. They do not have the ability to fully trust us at this time. Heres what he said yesterday. They obviously seem to want to throttle back Israels Ability and desire to defend itself. Its a very sad fact that israel does not trust the united states under the leadership of President Biden Vice President harris. They just cannot trust us. Shannon they do not have to ask our permission or things they are doing we are finding out when they are in play or after r the fact. What do you make of your Colleagues Assessment they Cant Trust us . Rons statement is nonsense. No one has been stronger and coming to the defense of israel. Especially after the hateful attack by hamas on October 7 and president Joe Biden Vice President harris. In the first ever direct attack on israel by iran, the Biden Harris Administration coordinated a response by several of our close allies that ensured none of the 300 missiles and drones that iran launched at israel hit any significant target or cause any major damage. We have stood by israel, faithfully and loyally throughout the entire period that there are repeated attacks by hezbollah and hamas on the territory of israel and by the Houthi On Commercial shipping In The Red Sea. They should trust us. Thereve been some moments of tension because they do not inform us of what they are doing before they do. There is some question of course about the number of civilian deaths in gaza is that war has ground on. But the idea that should be any question about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Handing strongly by israel the right to defend themselves from attack is nonsense. Shannon i wanted turn to another foreign hotspot which is ukraine or russia. President zelenskyy here in town asking for things this Week Meeting with the candidates, meeting with the current demonstration. What he really wants is the ability to use Wester Western Ws deeper into russia. Putin today his spokesman for the kremlin saying they are considering changing their policy and their guidelines when it comes to the use of nuclear power. Is that a threat . Is it bluffing . What do you think the administration should do in respect to allowing the weapons for further use into russia . Street to be careful because Vladimir Putin has shown he is willing to take risks and gambles. Most of The World did not expect them to engage in a full broad Spectrum And Invasion of ukraine back in 2022. And President Biden Vice President harris have masterfully assembled a global coalition of 50 countries to defend ukraine. To support ukraine and their fight for freedom. One of the more alarming Things President Trump and his Running Mate Jd Vance have said that they will somehow bring this war to an end in a day. Jd vance and the santa has questioned whether we should continue to support ukraines fight for freedom. I think it is important we give them the weapons, the tools, and the freedom to use those weapons in order to win this war against russia. But, i respect that President Biden gets more detailed briefings than i do on the potential risks of escalation. And when President Putin makes threats to potentially use tactical nuclear weapons, he has a very tough Balancing Act to strike. Shannon we are encouraged by the meeting between President Trump and President Zelenskyy . They came out of it seeming they had some kind of meeting of the minds they heard each other. President trump said has not changed where he is overall and trying to get this thing ended. But even President Zelenskyy talked with Griff Jenkins talk like he thought it was a good meeting. Im glad they met it is important there be conversations between a President Zelenskyy and both republican and democratic leaders of our nation. And candidates to be the next president of our nation. But in the clip you are showing right now, President Trump said im a very good friend of putin and you can see zelenskyy stiffen up and go i hope youre better friend of ukraine that you are a friend of a russia under putin. It was a strikingly awkward moment. Putin is a War Criminal Putin has carried out horrific attacks in ukraine we should not have a president of the united states saying he seeking to be a better friend of Vladimir Putin. Shannon i want to ask you before you go about our own border. We have numbers from isolated in the week that showed a picture pretty shocking for most americans there are hundreds of thousands of noncitizens here who have already been convicted of a crime and are not an Ice Custody. That includes by their numbers more than 13000 people convicted of homicide. Were those numbers a shock to you . What can and should we be doing about people talk upset talking Mass Deportation but targeting people been convicted criminals, murderers, rapists should we have an effort to get that done . Shannon, thanks for chance to talk to that. That is an misleading number for those 13000 convicted of homicide may not be an Ice Custody but most of them are in prison, state, federal, or local prisons will be deported as soon as they finish serving the prison terms. Under the Biden Harris Administration they prioritize the deportation of those whove committed violent crimes and have in fact deported them at a 50 higher rate than under former President Trump who did not make that a key priority. If we had been able to pass the tough bipartisan Border Security Deal that my Friends Assembler Lankford and Murphy And Sinema negotiated we would have 20 Billion more being invested in deportations and be prioritizing the deportation of violent criminals. Something all of us should want. That bill did not pass only because former President Trump called his allies in the senate and said do not pass it. He wanted an issue not a solution. Vice president harris has made it clear she would sign the bill into law. Shannon as you know Meg Republican colleagues said they would not have voted for it anyway because it contained many magnets to bring people here, Work Permits and other things and codified a flow they already think is out of control. Ask questions about for not enforcing current law why would be enforced that bill if it was past question will see if she becomes president of you guys all the senate maybe it comes up for another boat and will be watching that. It will and it will make a stronger parade thank you very much. Shannon training is now former separatist state mike pompeo. Good to have you with us. What do you make of what the senator had to say about the Biden Harris Administration has been full throated unequivocal in supporting israel . Good morning shannon. Let Senator Coons is a nice hitman but he is just living in
