reiser and we're watching the continuing coverage of the israel-hamas war. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was personally invited president biden to israel for a solidarity trip. and the white house is currently considering a request, according to senior new york official. the invitation comes ahead of a crucial time for americans trying to escape the region. in just a few hours u.s. it is attempting to leave gaza may have their first chance at safe passage since the war began last week. a palestinian embassy official has no confirms the beginning at 9 am local time, about four hours from now, for national palestinians will be able to cross the border into. egypt during that same time, humanitarian aid will also be able to flow into gaza through the border crossing. the agreement for safe passage follows u.s. secretary of state antony blinken's meeting with the president of egypt on sunday. i comes ahead of israel's expected ground invasion of northern gaza, which could begin at any moment. hours ago, israeli announced it would reopen the water supply to southern parts of gaza after shutting it off in the wake of hamas is deadly terrorist attack last saturday. the energy infrastructure minister confirmed the reopening of a post on social media, writing on the turning of what supplies to thestrip will make it possible to, quote, tight in the general see jon costa. nbc news was not able to immediately confirm that the supply of water has been restarted. this comes after the united nations officials said that -- was no longer able to provide humanitarian assistance in gaza due to a shortage of water and electric zoe. -- they call this a humanitarian catastrophe. a doctor and gaza sharing this video diary that we see news explaining how this hospital has been overrun with patients following israel's bombardment. >> this attack to stop the war as ben -- against civilians. please keep people living in peace. don't affect the children in the women. >> in the eight days since hamas's atck, more than 1400 people have been killed in israel with at least 3500 wounded. and in gaza, 2670 people have been killed and 9600 wounded. as israel vows to lay complete siege on gaza, president biden was asked about his support for the country's military action just a short time ago on cbs's 60 minutes. >> so you do not agree with the israeli total siege of the gaza strip? >> i am confident that israel is going to act on to the measures of the rules of war. there are standards that democratic institutions and countries will go by. i'm confident that it's going to be an ability for innocence in kosovo to be able to have access to medicine and food and water. >> let's get the our with nbc news correspondent -- on the border. look at that movement have you been seeing? is an invasion on the border imminent? >> in the last couple of nights we have been here, we have seen a heavy collection. a lot of movement of military equipment in this area. that being, said the last two nights has been relatively quiet in the overnight hours. they are the you can hear the sense of drones often in the sky. he sounds of different points, santos fighter jets. other military apparatus. where able to see in this area, a bit of equipment movement. artillery palm barred mint. but we have seen a collection of military vehicles. not far from where we are, just a stone's throw from where i'm standing. now seeming to gather in some sort of formation-like posture. again, other than that things have been relatively quiet here. we've not heard loud believes in ours. we haven't seen missiles flying over headed hours. but we asserted to see a little more movement, with the military equipment in this general area where we are. we have seen equipment moving in quite a bit in the last few days. but we have not seen before is a collection of military vehicles appear to be in some sort of formation just from where we are, in the direction of the gaza border. lindsey. >> as i, mentioned in just a few hours the rafah border crossing will open, becoming the only passage out of gaza for the hundreds of foreign nationals desperate to flee. what can you tell us about that played reopening and what it means for the humanitarian crisis unfolding in gaza? >> there was a lot of back and forth on. this of one point or the state department telling americans that they thought it was going to open just the other day. americans say that they would town along that border. palestinian americans. and that the crossing did not open. up tonight, in a q&a with reporters at the press, a spokesperson for the idf says reports for -- the border crossing and nine a.m. local time if you hours from now for foreign nationals, and humanitarian aid to move in. he is aware of those airports and confirm them just yet. he said they were part of some discussions, previous discussions trying to open up the border for foreign nationals to leave. he says that fell through because they only palestinian, side hamas they did not believe in the border. interview amassed is not what civilians to leave gaza. secretary of state antony blinken met with president in cairo and display in this proposal according to our producer in egypt has agreed to this by the palestinian envoy on the rafah border. they confirmed a sister agreement in place. not a am as soon as it turns not a empty border should begin to open. we don't know exactly for how long. the state department has been telling u.s. sicilian's to be a close to the border crossing as possible. because if it did open they probably only be open for a few hours. the trade for opening it so people can leave is that egypt is going to move to humanitarian aid across the border. this is last night from the palestinian envoy to the rafah crossing, saying they would not open the border to foreign nationals unless foreign aid was going to be allowed, or some kind of humanitarian aid, excuse me, was going to be allowed to cross the border that's the agreement was reached. humanitarian aid can come. and it was supposed to happen at 9:00 local time. which is just a few hours from now. lindsey. >> i listen, barbara thank you to you in your career. let's continue this conversation with greg mayer, national correspondent for npr. a senior fellow from middle east studies and -- for relations. let's start with the news for the planet the rafah crossing. a lot of people trying to get out of a very small space at a small window. what do you think about plans to do this calmly and safely? what are you expecting? >> i might not go that way. i've been there many times at the rafah border crossing. it's not a big opening, this is small amount of people and traffic that can go through there. it's just a few hundred foreign nationals leaving and some aides coming in, yes it could work. but hundreds of thousands of gazans have come from the northern part of the territory to the southern part. so if they make any attempt to go to the border, i want to try to get out, that cradle kinds of chaos. you don't want to forget things that may or may not happen here. it's not a border crossing that could handle a lot of traffic. it would probably be critical to that could stay open in a very organized fashion because not only is that the people getting out but it could be the main corridor for aid that gets into gaza. >> steve, it when it comes to the white house saying they're considering the invitation, how likely is that they will accept and what might a visit to his romine this moment? >> it would be rather extraordinary for the president to commit what is essentially an active war zone. and it would be certainly within keeping with -- >> i'm so sorry. i'm having a tough time here, and you sleep, and we'll see if we can fix radio. in the meantime, i'm gonna ask you another question. secretary of state blinken has continued his efforts in the middle east to contain the conflict and prevent it from engulfing the wider region. the u.s. has confirmed that in recent days they were trying also bout interfering. what are the risk of escalation here? >> it is clearly on israel's northern border in southern lebanon and they have touched on the couple wars with israel. 1996, 2000 and. six they have huge arsenal of rockets. much more extensive in powerful than hamas. we saw what hamas's been able to do. shot about 6000 rockets into israel over the past week. the hezbollah arsenal is much larger than that. i think that the most immediate threat will be the northern border and if hezbollah enters in a major way. or on this is the patron for both hezbollah and hamas. i am sure there is some sort of coronation going on there. so far we have seen these very limited shootings back and forth over the border. two u.s. aircraft carriers in the region are there to send very strong messages. i won right message. deterrence, don't get involved. >> what are you looking for and what are you expecting over the next few days? we know nobody has a crystal ball. it appears the ground invasion is. eminent nobody knows exactly what. what are you watching for? >> a couple of things. certainly they scale in the scope of israel going in on the ground. i've done this many times before but they are targeting a somewhat limited. they're going after the hamas militants. this time they say they wanted to destroy hamas entirely. that would include the political leaders of hamas. that would be a big sign to see if they are able to do that. if they are able to do that, then the question becomes, who's going to be in control of gaza when this is over? if hamas is no longer running, it which israel tolerated in recent years, are israel is going to stay there in occupied the place long term with troops in gaza? israel is showing no appetite for that right now. they've got that in 2005. had not come back to stay for the length of time. there is no real alternative. if hamas is not running it in the israelis don't want to run it that egypt is not interested and you've got the palestinian authority in the west bank that have maintained that the basing this israeli puppets. no other governments want this. i don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves, but after the military operation is going to have to be some sort of political arrangement. it's not clear who would be left in charge of gaza if the hamas political leaders are taken out in this israeli operation. >> this is a segue to steven's new piece out, titled the hamas attack changed everything. you write that what pundits and experts were worried about a week ago, the prospect of saudi israeli normalization, now suddenly seems irrelevant. you talk about the possibility, what does this look. like israeli reoccupation of gaza. can you elaborate on that? >> as greg was saying, it is abundantly clear that the israelis are going to go into -- without any significant plan on how to get out, or what political arrangements might be thereafter. so i might see a period in which israelis are occupying the gaza strip or parts of the gaza strip for some periods of time. this is a trap for the israelis. and we can't discount the fact that this is part of hamas's plan here. is to bring the israelis into the gaza strip, engage in a grinding conflict that would undermine israeli security, the israeli colony and keep the israelis pins down there for a significant period of time. >> steven, before we let both of you go we touched that antony blinken's trip. how do you view the diplomacy thus far and how the administration has been handling this? >> the administration is putting a lot of effort into it. it's been tough. going wrestler and for all of israel's neighbors. the egyptian in particular have been particularly careful. president -- has a strong security relationship with the israelis. he's been very unpopular. he is well aware that the people who are part of the uprising in 2011 found their origins in palestine solidarity committees. he needs to be on this in the way that he's trying to bring humanitarian aid into israel. without undermining either his security relationship with israel are harming his ties with the united states. >> greg mayer and steven cook thank you so much for your time tonight. breaking, tonight some relief for americans who have been tracked for americans since the war began. a rescue flight carrying nearly 300 u.s. nationals landed safely in tampa florida just a couple of hours ago. the evacuees came in on a fly in portugal to escape the conflict. governor ron desantis created them upon arrival he directed the florida division of the events were charter flights for americans tryingget home. coming up, using the internet to way to warrant public opinion. the dangers of misinformation floating social media feeds. and more on the hostage crisis. i'll speak with the mother turned advocate after her sons kidnapped -- in syria but her message to the families praying for a safe return. return [music “this little light of mine”] in the world's poorest places, children with cleft conditions live in darkness and shame. they're shunned, outcast, living in pain. you can reach out and change the life of a suffering child right now. a surgery that take as little as forty five minutes and your act of love can change a child's life forever. please call, scan or go online to give a new smile. thousands of children are waiting. do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet?

>> i have been monitoring it as much as we can. much of it has to be secret and confidential. it has to be done carefully. obviously, they are being held in the area where the terrorists are. the terrace have them. it's very delicate. it's very dangerous for them. it is something that i'm not going to be privy to. it's something that the most elite and covert groups will be working on and. i know they are. i just wish that some of this momentum for bombing gaza could slow down so we can have time to have these innocence out. that is my concern. get a lot of the folks who are so's innocent out of that danger. >> i wanted to ask you about it. how concerned are you given these dual goals here? israel has said it wants to wipe out hamas. they want to get these citizens and rescue people who are held hostage. do you worry that tools could be at odds with one another. >> i, do i do. what i am hoping is that part of the team is working every bit as quickly on plans to naturally i negotiate in some way with this terror group so we can figure out a way to get them out. we have to get them out. yeah, that's what i'm concerned about. i know they know that. that's where my heart is. i am concerned about all the innocence involved in the conflict. there's no winning one so many in that sits at risk. >> what is your message for the families who are waiting on any word of how their loved one might be doing?

very terror way. >> what happened? what was the last time you heard from your family? >> last time we heard from them was on saturday. we woke up knowing that there is a war. we did not expect. i was in contact with them. until the last minute message was by whatsapp because they were not allowed to speak over the phone. they were told the hamas might hear them. so the last message we heard from there was a text message at 12:18, noon time, saturday october 7th. where my niece wrote that she is, they are okay. the hearing shots outside of the guesthouse they were saying it. and but they are okay, and they love us very much. that was the last time we had a sign of life from them. . >> have you gotten any sort of information, have you been able to glean anything about how they are doing or where they are? >> we have no clue, no. nothing at all. all we know is that they were kidnapped and taken to gaza. and since then we have no sign of life, no sense of if they are well or injured. alive or not and whether the conditions they are kept in, we have nothing. we are totally in the dark and devastated about. all we want to know and want to get is a signal of life from them at this point. >> on friday president biden held a zoom call with family members of americans believed to be held hostage. i understand your brother was on that call. did he share anything about his conversation with the president? >> yes. it was very touching. by then found the time to speak with us. and he heard the whole story. about my sister and niece. he heard what happened and was very sympathetic. he promised us that the united states would do everything they can in order to get a signal of them and get them back home. i was very encouraging, actually. >> it has been over a week since this nightmare began for you. hundreds of families are living-less agony. how are you able to simply go on day-to-day? >> of course we have our moments where we break and cry. it is hard. we just want to know they realize at this point but we are just busy doing everything we can to get any signal from them and doing a lot of interviews and working with intelligence and working with the army and working with -- thanking ourselves with people who were the same a kibbutz, maybe they saw something. there is terrifying horrible movies of the hamas trying to see if we can identify them between all the hostages. yeah. this is what we are doing, trying to help them. that keeps us going. >> if you could speak to today natalie right, now what would you say. >> i would say that maybe, somewhere in the gaza to let them see the news or hear anything. hoping they can hear us, that they would have the confidence that we are doing really, there's no stone unturned. in order for us to be back home. i am just thinking of the huge party i will hold when they are back home. just have them, sorry. >> you are bringing me to tears. i hope you can hold on to that image, saray. we are all thinking of you. i'm so sorry. >> thank you for having us on. >> thank you. when harris tear reach the border, they brought weapons of war. the israeli military has been gathering some of the equipment they used in their deadly attack on israelis. raf sanchez got a look at what they found. >> this is just a fraction of the weapons the israeli military has recovered from hamas fighters in the field. i want to walk you through some of the items, here. this is a thermobaric bomb. this made to create heat up to 3000, degrees instantly. hamas terrorists use these to incinerate whole families inside of their houses. the bulk of these weapons down here are rocket propelled grenades. the israeli military says it fans around the thousand of them in the field. this is a level of firepower designed not just for killing civilians, but for holding off israeli reinforcements for hours to come. these are assault rifles, the standard issue of hamas forces. you can see just an absolute arsenal of weapons, with my camera operator just points over here these black charges are claim or explosives that were planted at the gates of israeli communities and were designed as booby traps to stop israeli troops coming in and critically the israeli military says that nothing they see here suggests the direct involvements of iran, these are the standard weapons you would expect from hamas. many of them are homemade inside gaza and it gives you a sense of the fire power israelis military will be facing inside the gaza strip, when that coronation begins. >> mark sanchez,
