and some trying to climb over the gates with palestinian flags. meanwhile, israel in israel the idf says its iron dome intercepted a drone coming from lebanon earlier today after taking down rockets from gaza overnight. rachel: iran says u.s. would be, quote, hit hard if washington did not implement a cease-fire in gaza but israel is maintaining a cease-fire is not an option. we re not going to have a cease-fire with hamas it is leak you having a cease-fire after bombing of pearl harbor and cease-fire with isis it is absurd glad to see the administration is not asking for a cease-fire. jonathon hunt is on the ground with the latest. hey, jonathon. hey will rachel, pete good to see you. over the last four hours or so this morning israel paused air strikes to give more civilians in gaza time to head from the north at the center of the war zone down to relative safety at the southern end of gaza and prior to that they made it clear they are not going let up the pressure on h
Mcdonald s advertised. once those deals are done it will be difficult to undo them. is he right when he says a nuclear holocaust is inevitable if iran goes nuclear? this iran getting its hands on nuclear weapons and iran talks about annihilating israel. death to america, other countries responding by getting nuclear weapons program of their own. if nuclear weapons are atbhawsht middle east it s only a matter of time before somebody uses one. accidentally or inadvertently or intentionally. saudi arabia is going to be in trouble pretty soon and they will need help. if you look at yemen and you
