Ways to make a look at casualties. How do they adjust it, whether its being used effectively or yeah, i understand. Its a good point. Just to clarify, general glenn is not there to direct the israelly military or tell them what to do. Hes there as an expert on urban combat. The considerations are how do you account for the civilian population in mitigating the casualties. At the end of the day, this is about saving lives and eliminating a terrorist threat. Thank you. Thank you. I want to pick up on the air Defense Systems being shipped to the region. Yesterday the Wall Street Journal reported that the u. S. Had asked israel to hold off on the Ground Offensive until the air defenses could get to the region. Is there any truth to that report . Yeah,s seen those reports. What i will tell you, id refer you to the israelis to talk about their operations, their time lines. Our focus is on ensuring that the Israeli Defense forces have what they need to defend the israeli people. As i mentione
we re keeping an eye on the press room as the president and his team basically trying to wrap their heads around the current state of affairs in the country. really given all that is going on across this country and in london and other places as well, if you are iran i mullahs right now, no doubt you are liking what you re seeing. we have a pro palestinian day of action we re learning about. that s supposed to happen tomorrow. all of this as today 30 days after october 7th, we heard all day long from absolutely aggrieved families of hostages whose loved ones they believe are alive and in gaza at this moment. they want them out. obviously hamas or the killers of 1,400 israeli citizens and brought 240 more than that in to back in to gaza. these people want their loved ones out. they want them out safely. the pain that they have been going through is excruciating. its been 30 days. every day is like eternity to me. martha: the white house, they are still doing a cleaning
fox on top of israel. you heard about the flares being seen over gaza. this as the house is set to vote on a package to help israel. we have nancy mace here, adam smith on where this aid package stands as we speak. also here, the republican governors of texas and oklahoma, greg abbott and kevin stitt, they re both in israel and they re going to tell you why and what they re worried about. we re closely watching the flares over gaza. i m neil cavuto. this idea of a ground invasion or something akin to it that might be happening soon, anyone s guest. mike tobin in southern israel with the latest. hi, mike. neil, right over my shoulder, you can see the flares that are up, this is the northeast section of the gaza strip. it s been about the last 20 minutes that they ve been putting the flares in to the sky. usually when they do that, that means there s something they re looking for on the ground. they want to see it. what you try to do with the flares is blind the enemy and giv
martha: good afternoon. i m martha maccallum at fox news head quarters in new york. the story happening right now is new reaction coming in about the white house as president biden has said i think we need a pause in the israel hamas war in order to get humanitarian aid in and people being held there out. but others say that that only gives hamas time to reload as the u.s. tries to accomplish those goals. here s john kirby moments ago. localized that would allow us to get aid in and to get our people out is a good thing for the people of gaza, a good thing for the americans that are being held hostage and it s not going to stop israel from defending itself. the security assistance we re providing continues to flow. a temporary pause doesn t mean a general cease fire when the war is over. it means pause for a specific purpose. martha: so let s go to tel aviv now and speak with danny dannon, a former israeli ambassador to the united nations. good to have you with us tod
