You see a child lying there with b burns on his legs. On a refugee camp there in gaza, even those trying to save others are themselves dying. We want to show you the members of the Palestinian Family that are grieving a child. Youre seeing the devastation before your eyes. Thank you so much for being with us. Inside politics picks it up next. Today on inside politics, pledges, promises and pleas through the thick, black fog of war. Right now, gaza is in the dark. And israelis are sheltering as sirens sent shivers across the country. From tel aviv this morning, we heard Ab American Pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder against terror. U. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken leaves no daylight between the u. S. Government and that of israel. The message that i bring to israel is this. You maybe Strong Enough on your own to defend yourself, but as long as america exists, you will never, ever have to. The israeli Prime Minister, there was a promise to banish hamas to the ash heap of history. President biden was absolutely correct in calling this shear evil. Hamas is isis and just as isis was crushed, so, too, will hamas be crushed. And hamas should be treated exactly the way isis was treated. They should be spit out from the community of nations. From gaza, pleas for mercy amid suffering as far as the eye can see. The relentless response to a barbaric Terror Attack has displaced hundreds of thousands. The sweep of devastation touches every man, woman, and child. There is no power and now there is the prospect of no food within days. A key question, where are gazas neighbors when it comes to helping innocent Palestinian Civilians krougt caught in the cross fire. Well be exploring that question this hour. We want to get to israel and start our coverage with jeremy diamond. In the last few hours, we have gotten two barrages of rockets headed in this direction to the city. There were red alert sirens going off. The last barrage, which was about an hour hour and a half ago, was directly above us. Interaccepting those rockets, very close to our hotel. And as we went into the shelter on our floor, we encountered a family thats also staying in the hotel. They are from the city of ashkelon, just over my Left Shoulder here. Which is closer to gaza. They fled north to the city to this hotel in the hopes of finding a little more safety and also because their home does not have a bomb shelter. The father i spoke with him and he said his children were afraid when they were in ashkelon. They feel slightly safer here. Cloor ly not entirely out of th danger zone. I want to talk about what we saw from the Secretary Of State tony blinken and the israeli Prime Minister. What we saw was not only an expression of solidarity from the United States, an effort to show that theres no daylight between the two countries, but also talking about the brutality and the bar barety of the Terrorist Attacks carried out by hamas over the weekend. What that was seemed like an effort to bottle up all of the emotion. The outralk from the hamas Terrorist Attacks. Its whats going to come next. For the military campaign, thats sure town fold. Whether or not thats a ground invasion. It certainly appears so, but we dont know. There will be many casualties. If theres a ground invasion, that means casualties of Israeli Soldiers going into gaza. Its including the airstrikes from israel and on to the gaza strip. Theres always a high civilian casualty toll as well. Its striking at those tarkts as well. And this situation only going to get worse, especially for the civilians caught in the cross fire. Thats a certainty. Thank you so much for that report. And u. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to a Donation Site in tel aviv. He met with a 24yearold Israeli American who survived the massacre at the music festival. I want to play part of their emotional exchange. I never imagined Something Like this would happen at a music festival. We scelebrated love and we danced. It was amazing. And the rockets started and gunshots everywhere. We managed to escape. There were a lot of frechbds that didnt. There are a lot of friends that are kept captive now in gaza. And we were save d by a miracle. But there are friends that we love that werent. Thank you for being here. Its really important. If theres any way to help the First Priority are our friends and family that are in gaza. Were strong here, were powerful here now everywhere. Join ing me now is a member f the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus party, and the former israeli ambassador to the united nations. Thank you for being here. At Arelief Center having that emotional conversation. Talk about the importance of that kind of moment inside israel right now. Reporter we are in deep pain we are still trying to digest the numbers of casualties. Actually, day and night, i think its very important for us to see the secretary coming to visit, to hear President Biden in a very emotional speech. We need that. We need that support. We know we have the friendship of the u. S. And today we are in the process of coming together. We will vote about a new government. And we are starting to get ready for the retaliation. We have to fight back. We have seen the brutality. I dont know if you have shown the horrible picture, but we see more and more pictures of the barbaric behavior. We never believed in a jewish state after 75 years of independence, we saw scenes that we saw from the holocaust. Its happening here. Were going to show that in a minute. But i do first want to ask about one of the first things you mentioned, which is going to happen later, which is the formation of a National Unity or emergency government. It is with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Unity party leader bennie gans. Correct me if im wrong, but in practical terms, does this mean the end of the Benjamin Netanyahu government . No, i think youre accurate about the cabinet. I urged him to join the government. Without no intention to stay in gaza, we hope to finish the war as soon as we can. Then well go back to regular politics to the argument, come together as a nation and to see the amount of support that we have in israel for our troops. My own son is out there. We are behind you. Go do what you have to do to bring security to the people of israel. Fight evil. I can tell you that we know its not going to be easy. Its complicated To Go Into Gaza and attack hamas, but we have no other choice. If im hearing this in the United States, i know that you are hearing there in israel, particularly as an elected official there, real frustration among israelis, even through the deep pain. Frustration from civilians who feel that the Benjamin Netanyahu government was unprepared and failed its people. What are your thoughts on that . So i think now we realize its not time to start the blame game. We know something wrong happened. 50 years ago, we were caught by surprise. We thought thats it. Less that be a week ago in another jewish holiday, we were caught by surprise. Also the number of casualties. The fact that its more than civilians. And the brutality, raping women. We are in shock. We are united now winning the war. A after that, im sure well have to do that. Lets talk about wibing the war. You called for civilians in gaza to, quote, move out. You know far better than i they dont have anywhere to go. Theres talk about a corridor to get civilians out through egypt. Whats the status of those talks . Will egypt allow that . I beg to differ. They can move out. A few hours ago, we warn Ed The Residents of Northern Gaza to move out from the neighborhood. Where would they go . They can go to parts of gaza. We tell them to move out. So i think seeing those innocent people staying there would be a mistake. We urged them to move out and go south. What you mentioned about egypt, its up to the egyptians to decide how to handle it. But still, it was in gaza, these people to move. Its not going to be permanently. We want to come fight, clean the area from Hamas Terrorists. And then come back to the neighborhood. You mention ed the horrific images and information that we are getting. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahus Office Released truly horrifying images of babies that were burned and murdered by hamas. Cnn hz not independently verified this image, and i want to warn our viewers that this is very upsetting, but i want to give you an opportunity to speak about it and, obviously, theres the image. The government is releasing it because they want the world to see what these Hamas Terrorists did. I want to emphasize cnn cannot independently verify it. Your reaction . Thats shocking. We have seen wars and Terror Attacks, but to see the inhumanity, they are animals. The brutality, we think babies caught in the community of chaos. They capture the babies and burn them alive. So we brought the doctor to look at the bodies, they couldnt stay in the room. They never saw that happening. I asked myself, why do youment come and attack civilians . Then you go to the babies and make sure to burn them alive. No words to describe such acts. We saw isis or the horrible behavior that would be the worst. Today we realized that hamas is worse than isis. The images we saw coming from different communities, the way they executed, decapitation of heads of people, pregnant women, i dont want to go into the details. Its very hard for me. But i can tell you that thats something we cannot sit by and wait for the next time. In a week or two, were going to talk and ask me about the problems of the people in gaz a is a who should think about those pictures you just showed to understand why we are going To Go Into Gaza and to fight hamas. It was an unprovoked attack. A major massacre against civilians. We have no other choice. To say that it was a major attack against civilians is an understatement. The questions are about civilians in general and there are questions. I know there are questions pg asked in your country about how to avoid the death of more civilians New York City matter who they are. I just want to underscore that image that we showed and the images that youre describing, that the israelis have seen and the attacks on their own people. It is important for the world to know what happened. Just like it was during world war ii. Thank you so much. I appreciate your time, mr. Ambassador. Thank you, dana. In my we expect to hear from the american Secretary Of State lye from israel. And also here in the United States, on high alert. Security officials are warning about the potential for antiset met violence in the u. S. Tomorrow. We have new reporting, next. Soon well hear from the Secretary Of State live from uz real. Today back in the United States, there are concerns about antisemitic violence. In the days after jarring and bar baric Terrorist Attacks by hamas, we have witnessed a stunning attempt in some corners to blame the victims, dead jews. All the harvard a letter addressing the slaughter, cosigned by 33 Student Groups contained this line. The Apartheid Regime is the only one to blame. The most charitable reading of that letter is it tried to provide context and failed a test of moral clarity. Theres no clairable reading of this image. This is a post from the National Students for justice in palestine. A particular attention to the pair glider in the right corner. The general call for protests is prompting real life Security Concerns. Cnns Shimon Prokupecz is there. All nypd forces have been ordered to show up in uniform tomorrow. In the meantime, you are at a College Campus looking at the protests that are happening. Reporter yeah, we are outside of Brooklyn College. Heres the sight of wasnt of these protests. We have supporters of palestine. This is the group from the college here. They are called the Brooklyn College students for justice and palestine. Thats just about 100 of them gathered here outside the campus. They came together because they were angry over statements that were made by the College President in support of israel. So they wanted to gather here to show their support for palestine. They are against whats happening. You can see some of the signs here on this side. Let me just show some of the signs on this side. The bombing of children is not selfdefense. Were Hearing Chants like that from this side saying free palestine. Then on the other side. Just about a handful or so on this side. The college is open. There are students you can see coming through here leaving the campus going to the other side. But this is the other side of it. Its been peaceful. Most of the folks here on each side holding signs. Then you can see theres a lot of extra Police Officers here and Law Enforcement officials. Theres officers behind frank here. And they are just standing around. This is not a very large group thats gathered, but they are making their voices heard. Thank you so much for showing that one example of what were seeing and hearing across College Campuses. Its nice theres a peaceful protest going on right there. Speaking of that, i want to bring in chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst john miller. Thank you for joining us. I know you have been talking to your sources in Law Enforcement. What do we know about any specific or Credible Threats to Jewish Centers . Right now, we dont have any. Hold that thought. Were going to go to the Secretary Of State. Well be right back. In my meetings with the Prime Minister, with the ministers in the 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. This afternoon, i met with families of american citizens that hamas has killed or taken hostage. The enormity of their anguish, their loss, is immeasurable. For the families of the missing, theres an agony of not knowing the fate of their loved ones. Something that i dont think most of us can truly understand, truly contemplate if youre not in their shoes. No one should have toen dur what they are going through. Theres so many families like them. The United States is one of more than 30 countries where family members, friends, entire communities will be forced to go through this experience. Because of hamas disdain for human life. Were doing everything we can to secure the release of the hostages working closely with our israeli partners. I brought with me our Deputy Representative for hostage affairs. He will stay on the ground here to support the efforts to free their lod ones. I also had a chance to see up close the genuinely inspiring solidarity of the israeli people in the wake of the a mass attacks. When i visited one of the many sites where they organized efforts to collect, to sort, to distribute donations for those in need, including many family who is have been displaced from the south. I had had a chance to meet with some of the volunteer, several of them dual citizens. One young couple told me how they narrowlies escaped with their own lives when terrorists attacked the music festival. They told me about their friends who were not fortunate, who were killed at that festival. Others taken hostage or still missing. In our time here, everywhere we have gone, we have met people who have been touched in One Way Or Another by hamas bloody hand. A loved one, a friend, a classmate, a neighbor, a colleague, killed, maimed, missing. We encountered a Nation Knit Together by grief, but also a nation united in resolve. The United States shares that resolve. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of israel. Ill go on to jordan where i will meet with the king and the <
