It is, he said, depravity beyond what you could imagine. The United States says it will stand with israel in the fight against hamas. And is warning others not to get involved. But it is a fine balance, supporting the israeli blockade of gaza without escalating this conflict further. Well get the thoughts on that tonight from our Panel Thejournalist and broadcaster, Jenny Kleeman and the former Communications Director for the trump campaign, brian lanza. There will be no resolution on israeli in Congress Unless the republicans can find a speaker. We will keep you updated on the vote tonight, which is soon to begin. And we will focus too on the hostages. 17 british people missing, 14 americans. Well hear from the former commander of an Israeli Special ops team on how difficult this is going to be. The Israeli Prime Ministers Office published three photos today purporting to show Babies Murdered And Burned by hamas. The photos were posted with a Graphic Content Warning on the social media platform x, and were also shown to us Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken during his visit to israel. The children are among the 1300 israelis that were killed in a slaughter that mr blinken said was beyond imagination. The Charity Doctors without borders said the resulting blockade of gaza is catastrophic, food and clean water is running out, the mains electricity is cut, raw sewage is building up in the streets. Before we even talk about the situation at the hospitals. These are pictures from the Al Shifa Hospital in gaza that were taken by our reporter rushdi abu alouf. The Health Ministry says so far 1,400 people have been killed 1,537 people have been killed a third of them children. So lets hear then from the us Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken. He met the war cabinet earlier today. Heres what he said after that meeting. I came to israel bearing a simple message. The United States stands with israel and with its people. Today, tomorrow, every day. In my meetings with the Prime Minister, with president herzog, with the ministers in israels newly formed National Emergency government, we discussed in detail what israel needs to defend itself, its people and how the United States can help to meet those needs. Were delivering on those needs as we speak, and we will work closely and swiftly with congress to meet them as they evolve. Ididnt ididn� t hearany i didnt hear any calls for restraint today, he did say that they have to stay within the rules of war. � ,. ,. ,. , they have to stay within the rules of war. � ,. ,. ,. , of war.

I think Antony Blinken was quite clever in how he chose his i quite clever in how he chose his words today. Obviously, he had to show that the us stands shoulder to shoulder with israel, that has been the Foreign Policy for the wrong time. And he was speaking as Secretary Of State but also, as he said, as a jewish man, Secretary Of State but also, as he said, as ajewish man, somebody Secretary Of State but also, as he said, as a jewish man, somebody who is descended from thejewish people who have encountered unimaginable horrors because of anti jewish violence. But he also said that democracies distinguish themselves by behaving better than terrorists and are striving for a better standard. I think those words were carefully chosen. I dont know whether or not they will have fallen on deaf ears, but you had someone on just a few minutes ago saying that israel cant be seen to be soft, cant allow people to attack them with impunity. There is a lot of anger and desire for vengeance. That has to be weighed into all of this. The pressure is already building on the arab governments, who are seeing the arab governments, who are seeing the pictures, and it will see more pictures in the days ahead. I want to play your part Antony Blinken said about the threat to the fore the region. There is a warning for iran and forthe the region. There is a warning for iran and for the proxy, has botha. With regard to the second front, as i mentioned earlier, it is our determination and that of israel that there not be a second or third front, that there not be a second or third front, and that there not be a second or third front, and we are working as hard as we can, front, and we are working as hard as we can, working with other partners in the we can, working with other partners in the region we can, working with other partners in the region to try to ensure that thlets in the region to try to ensure that thats the in the region to try to ensure that thats the case.

The idea of a Ground Offensive. A Ground Offensive is looming, and there is a lot of rhetoric about the possibility of routine change, and we know from attempts going back to vietnam, but including ukraine, that when that our invasions and attempts to change area gym, returned to not go very well for the country such as behind them. There will be guerrilla fighting, this will go on, and as you have said, you already have these attacks from his brother, and echoes of the 1973 Yom Kippur War Punisher was first fighting on both sides. I think israel has to be wary of falling into a trap, and this has to be the reason for this attack, because of i cant think of any other reason why this Terrorist Attack took place.
