Welcome to our viewers joining us in the United States, and all around the world, we continue our breaking News Coverage of israel at war. I am john vause. We continue with gruesome details about the attacks carried out by hamas over the weekend. The cruel acts of brutality of women, and children, are beyond abhorrent. The subject matter, and the video are graphic, and disturbing. The Israeli Government says that babies, and toddlers were found with heads decapitated in a kibbutz in southern israel. Hamas denies beheading children, calling the allegations fabricated, and baseless. In the meantime, israels military is stepping up its airstrikes on gaza, as forces massed near the border, ahead of a Ground Incursion. Palestinian officials says the only Power Station in gaza has stopped working. Hospitals, expected to run out of fuel for their generators in the coming day. The weekend Terror Attacks by hamas it is across israeli politics, and with the announcement of an Emergency Government and a wartime cabinet. The people of israel are united. Now, the leadership is to. We have put aside our differences because of the fate of the country is on the line. We will work together, shoulder to shoulder, for the sake of our citizens of israel. There is a time for war, and daytime for peace. This, now, is time for war. U. S. Secretary of state, antony blinken, and a tough hostage negotiator, are hurting to israel. Blinken says, discussions are ongoing about a humanitarian corridor, and with medical supplies in gaza, allowing civilians to leave safely. The Farming Community of kibbutz is one of the first areas attacked by hamas, on saturday. Jihadi fighters went door to door, massacring 120 people at will. They took the ability to gain control. Journalists were allowed to see the carnage firsthand. Cnns chris has a report, a warning, the content of the report is disturbing. 7 11 am on saturday morning, the militants arrived at this kibbutz. Surveillance footage, showing them lying in wait, until a car arrives. They shoot the driver, and enter the compound. More poured in on motorcycles. Eerily at ease, and in no apparent hurry. Thomas hand heard the gunshots, and immediately thought of his eightyearold daughter, emily, who is staying with a neighbor. She doesnt do it often, but unfortunately, that night, that particular night we, the friday night with, she went to sleep at her friends house. 12 hours, he says, he was pinned down under heavy gunfire, unable to reach his daughter. As hamas went door to door, executing his neighbors. Waiting, im thinking that the army will be here soon. Just hold on a little longer. When and longer. And longer. By the time the military gained control, this is what remained of the once tranquil community. Late wednesday afternoon, Israeli Forces let journalists in for the first time, after days of pitched battles. I saw soldiers fight here, and i thought here with myself. Only to come from apartment, two apartment, and do you know how heavy it was an unconscious know how long it took . It is a question to ask ourselves. They are working to the defense of people, and to take the survival out of it into defense, and into offensive operations, im sure that we ask ourselves is difficult, and a question of taste. For now, there are more pressing questions. The bodies of more than 100 residents have been recovered. But, the army says, many more are still missing. You can still see the amount of blood. This was a massacre. The full scale of the horrors that transpired here is just starting to come to light. Family photographs on the wall. They waited two agonizing days before getting the news. We found emily. He is dead. And i said yes, and smiled. It was the best possible news out of all of the possibilities. It was the best possibility. She was either dead, or in gaza. If you know anything about what they do to people in gaza, it is worse than death. The way they treat you they have no food, they have no water. She would be in a dark room, filled with who knows how many people, and terrified. Every single minute, our, day, and possibly years to come. Death was a blessing. An absolute blessing. Clarissa ward, cnn, very coutts, israel. From london, journalist elliott gotkine, following developments. It was their incumbents, and the beheading of children. We also have the formation of the wartime cabinet, and will open to this point, been deeply divided. Its not just been deeply divided, its more divided than ever over the past nine months, and they have been trying to push forward from this judicial overhaul. If there is one thing that hamas succeeded in doing, in addition to all of the carnage that we have seen over the past few days here in the killing, at least 1200 people, and it is also barring Parra Laetitia and, and benny gantz with no friend of Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, the former Defense Minister, chief of the general staff, taking his National Unity party into government to form this Emergency Government, went before the cameras yesterday to say why he had done this, and what hamas had done in score. There are seeing, very clearly, that they will be to pay. We promise, to the people of israel, when we say never again, we mean it. Never again. To make good on his promise, of course, we have seen these airstrikes in the last few hours. It is a wave of strikes on the Nakba Elite Forces of hamas, and their operational centers, according to the idf. The idf saying, it was this division that participated, with others, in this mass Terror Attack on israel, that began in the early hours of saturday morning. Everyone, now expecting this Ground Invasion to be imminent from israel. We do not know precisely, when or, how it will happen. A spokesperson for the idf, saying, in his words, i think it is enough to show pictures, and pair it with what weve said. That the end results we are aspiring to. Put simply, john, is really to not just decimate, but to completely destroy hamass capabilities, and so much with the uk, u. S. , european, all designate as a terrorist organization is never able to repeat what it did in the early hours of saturday morning, and the repercussions of which we are still seeing, both on israel, and inside of the gaza strip, as well. John . Elliott gotkine, in london, with the very latest. A senior hamas official, based in london told us that it took two years to prepare the attack on israel, a complicated attack by air, sea, and land. Cnns sam kiley, with more, on the assault, and a shadowy figure who may be behind it. A warning, this report contains demanded the release of u. S. House to seize on russian tv. Were also prisoners in the u. S. We want them of course theyre hamas sentences to life and u. S. We want them to free our sons from their prisons. U. S. Connects prisoner swaps, only recently did one with iran, why would need to one with us . Confirmation of part of the hamas assault in israel. They were enabled by a failure in Israeli Intelligence but blotted by a shadowy hamas officer, the guest. Only two photographs exist of him who is nearly 60. He is known as el deif because he lives with it as a guest in a different location every night. Is the mastermind, the monster behind the murder of the attack in israel and the kidnapping of 150 hostages. We [inaudible] in the mid 1990s whose be leave to be behind a wave of atrocities in israel. And in 2018s, believed to have lost an arm and leg in an israeli arm strike aimed it in the killeds wife and his daughter. For the last two years though, a massive pretended to focus on welfare not war for. All the while under the table hamas was planning this big attack. Israel meanwhile invested in automation and sensors, High Technology iron wall around gaza and focused forces on the west bank and under deep her mask encouraged complacency. The last weekend, it hit hard. Attacking communication towers an Automated Machine guns with drones. Over running command and control centers. Telling senior officers, among them three kernels. And unleashing terror on thousands of civilians. The Israel Defense forces found hamas antitank ones and other heavy weapons, sunday may have planned for a longer stay. The Shock Infantry Attack is either deliberately brutal from the start or degenerated into a massacre as a really defenses collapsed. It shifted attention and power to hamas. He has become like a got to some of the palestinians because of what he has done. Many palestinians are dismayed by the massacre and the bloodshed that is followed. But with the lives of hostages in his hands, the guest now has an unwelcome place in americas mind. Sam kiley, cnn. Doctor mostafa is the president of the Palestinian National initiative and a member of the palestinian parliament. He joins me now live from the west bank city of ramallah. Doctor, its good to see you. Thank you thank you for having me. Obviously all eyes are on gaza right now and here is really miller operation where it goes. But one of the biggest obstacles to peace between israelis and the palestinians is always extremely us on both sides have always been able to determine how this conflict plays out. And it seems like now we are seeing that play out at large. Absolutely, as you said we have been living under the pressure of extremism here. You mentioned hamas, its good to mention israel has been run by a very extreme government including who declared palestinians should have no, no state, they should either emigrate, or accept a level of subjugation or die. This extremism has of course led to this explosion. But the main root cause that is never been dealt with by several Israeli Governments the continuation of the israeli illegal got condition of palestinian land. Who is not this occupation which is 56 years old, the longest in modern history has transformed into a system of apartheid that represses every palestinian. Today of course the issue is not that israelis attacking hamas only, the israeli airstrikes and the enrich Israeli Bombardment is attacking civilian palestinian population and gaza. They are dehumanizing hamas, but in the case they are demonizing of palestinians. When theres 2. 2 Million People living in less than one point 140 square miles, with 50 of the 2. 2 Million People are children. The result is drastic. Up to now 1200 palestinians have been killed by israeli airstrikes, including 326 children. And no less than 180 women. This will not lead to peace. The way out of this is to immediately have a cease fire, immediately deescalate, immediately have an exchange of prisoners, so those israelis are who are held in gaza will come back safe. In exchange for releasing some Palestinian Prisoners who have been in jail, some of whom have been in jail for 43 years. No ones talking a ceasefire at this point, no ones talking really seriously about a Prisoner Exchange in the moment. And thats unfortunate. It will play out as this will play out. One thing i think is important to mention here is that the militant group Hamas Which Controls Gaza is no friend to the Palestinian Authority in ramallah. A fattah Political Party of Mad Mahatma Abbas as often clashed with hamas. How concerned are you right now with this outpouring of sympathy for israel and the outpouring of condemnation for what hamas did which was horrible, that now palestinians arent all out being swept up as being hamas . And then your standing which as many palestinians work very hard, to establish palestinians at a credible, viable alternative state. That is now being swept away by the brutality of the weekend . It shouldnt be and just sending out israeli propaganda, some of which is absolutely incorrect will not solve the problem. Dehumanization of all palestinians will not solve the problem. Look, we have been under occupation for so many years. We have not seen a day of freedom for 56 years. And many of us, especially the 70 of the people in gaza who are refugees who are displaced by israel 75 years ago. Israel has already conducted five wars on gaza. Did that and hamas . Could that end violence . Did that and the situation . Of course not. Now they are gonna have a huge Ground Invasion, something that is totally in, unacceptable even according to guterres the secretary of the United Nations who says you cannot impose total blockade on gaza. Now israel is preventing food, fuel, water, electricity from the people of gaza. I received calls every day from patients in gaza who are about to die because they dont have access to dialysis, and children in incubators who could die because there is no electricity. Besieging a whole population is not a solution. Striking on children and women because of a terrible air strike is not a solution. Let me warn you. A very important dangerous point is what israeli leaders are calling for, which is effecting the 2. 2 Million People in gaza to egypt. Creating a very serious matter of ethnic cleansing One More Time against the palestinian people. This will not lead to peace. This will not lead to peace. Even if the United States is fully supportive of it. The only thing that leads to lasting peace is a negotiated settlement. But who will lead the negotiations. Who blocked the negotiations all these . His was netanyahu. Because he signed a Peace Agreement with palestinians. Robin was extreme assassinate by and israeli extremist. Netanyahu blocked all negotiations with palestinians. I just want to and on positive solution. The twos been on life support since distant memory. It is always darkest before dawn. Are you even the slightest bit hopeful that once the worst is over that there will be this realization that they can only be lasting peace through a negotiated settlement between the palestinians and israelis . Absolutely and although it might sound strange at this time let me tell you, we have struggled very hard all our lives to have a Two State Solution. Unfortunately netanyahu made his best to kill it by sending settlers to the lions illegally. This may now sound strange now. I think the only way out of it is immediate Two State Solution or we will have to change it one Apartheid State Reality that israel has created, because the other apart i State Reality is a democratic one State Reality. There is no way the palestinians will give up their struggle for freedom and there is no way i know to continue this inhuman situation. Either we have a Two State Solution as soon as possible or we will have to be together with equality, but palestinians have to be treated equally. And that means full democratic, civil and National Rights for both people. Doctor, thank you for being with with us. A time is very valuable, and we appreciate. Thank you.
