Good day to our viewers in the United States and around the world. It is noon in gaza where we begin with breaking news. Israels military is warning all civilians in gaza city to leave their homes and head south. It is the surest sign yet that the idf plans to intensify its military operations inside gaza after hamas attacks on israel left 1300 people dead, 27 of them americans, and took more than 150 people hostage. Hamas militants are telling palestinians not to leave their homes. The u. N. Calls the Mass Evacuation an impossible task. Palestinian Health Ministry says more than 1500 people have died so far in gaza after days of israeli airstrikes and a total blockade without fuel, food or water. Right now Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken is on his way to qatar after meeting with Mahmoud Abbas in jordan earlier. He spent thursday in israel as the u. S. Pushes for diplomacy to prevent the conflict from widening while trying to secure the release of hostages. We democracies distinguish ourselves from terrorists by striving for a different standard even when it is difficult. The value that we place on human life and human dignity, that is what makes us who we are. Moments from now, Secretary Of Defense lloyd austin will be meeting with israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in tel aviv. Meantime police in cities across the u. S. Are on high alert today after a former hamas chief called for a global day of rage in support of palestinians in gaza. Lets bring in becky anderson. She is standing by live in jerusalem. I do believe there may be a bit of a delay here, so i want to warn our viewers about that. The u. N. Says an evacuation is which is impossible and in a strip of land with this many people, up to a Million People being asked to move, what is the motive behind the call and what happens next . Reporter well, what happens next is really the unanswered question, isnt it, at the moment. We spoke to the u. N. Yesterday in gaza who told us that in their facilities, they are now sheltering some 300,000 people. And it goes on. So if you consider that there are already displaced within gaza some squarequarter of the population, population of just over 2 million, you get a sense really of the enormity of what is going on. We are hearing the calls for the population to move south, quite frankly people here will say where are they going, where are they supposed to go. And there is much effort now about opening humanitarian corridors both for people to travel out of the country however that might happen and however that might be around the by the international community. And indeed to get humanitarian aid in. Because of course there is a shortage of and will soon be no fuel, electricity, food and water. Because of the total siege of gaza, the lockdown by israeli authorities. So what is going on in the besieged compound in the besieged enclave at present is absolutely dire. And reports we are hearing substantiate that. And the next question is really what does this war look like, what will any Ground Incursion look like and what price will be paid by civilians. Lets remember that there are hostages being held by hamas militants in and around gaza, 100 to 150 hostages. And so whatever the israelis decide to do next, and weve had numerous conversations now with israeli officials, you know, this is an incredibly complicated operation for them to try and effectively denigrate hamas Military Infrastructure and headquarters there while ensuring that both the hostages wherever they are being held are safe and indeed trying to ensure that there is not the sort of close lateral damage as it is often called, but call it as it is, civilian death isnt swinging in all of this. A very difficult situation as we wake up to what is day seven of this conflict. Calling it impossible as we said. Becky, can you tell us a little bit about what were anticipating today in terms of this expected day of protests or day of rage . Yeah, so let me just establish where i am. Im in jerusalem overlooking the old city here. And this is the temple mount, and ill walk away so that my cameraman can give us a sense of what we are seeing here. This is the most contentious site . Jerusalem and really at the heart of this conflict. It is midday here. Friday prayers at this mosque here on this site which is islams third holiest site, will begin shortly. It is of course also the holiest site in judaism and revered by christians. This site was captured by the israelis in 1967 from jordan and since then, there has been this delicate status quo about who can visit or access this site. Anybody can visit, but only muslims can pray here. And so the question is today, and ill give you more context to this, but this hour the question is who will be allowed by israeli authorities, by Israeli Soldiers to actually access this site in the past there has been for example an age restriction, any men over the age of 45 not able to access it. So we are being told it is selective access today, but we just need to wait to see how it develops. Lets me give you a bit of context. There are reports that settlers came on to this compound during the sekot ol holidays. And also the israeli army accessed it leading to clashes in this compound. And if you talk to palestinians, this is at the heart of the conflict. It is the cause for their grievances in the west bank and in gaza. So clearly an incredibly important site here. What goes on here has a huge impact in what happens around this wired reg this wider re. And hamas with this monster attack, among other things, it is the decemsecration as they c it which lies behind the reason for their subsequent actions. And anyone who visits that site can absolutely feel the tension even in times of peace. And right now obviously we are so far from that. Becky anderson, thank you very much for starting us off. Really appreciate it. And coming up here, israels new narrative on hamas after terror attacks last weekend. And House Republicans are back to square one in their search for a speaker. Well tell you what happened last night. Welcome back. Hamas is telling palestinians to stay in their homes after israel issued a sweeping Evacuation Order for 1. 1 Million People, that is the entire population of the northern part of the gaza strip. It comes as signs are growing of israels massive mobilization for potential Ground Invasion of gaza. Highways are lined with military vehicles and more than 300,000 reservists are massing along the southern border. Lets bring in dana pitard. General, thank you for being with us. We saw pictures there and we outlined what is going on here. What do these Evacuation Orders say about what is coming . Good morning, casey. I think what it shows is that the israeli army is ready to move in soon with the attack against gaza and gaza city. It also shows that the israeli arm wants to separates hamas from the populists that they are hiding behind. Hamas of course would like the population to stay because they are using them as Human Shields in many ways. So that is where we stand right now. It is a very, very tough situation. And i mean, weve spent a lot of time talking with our viewers about the urban nature of the terrain, the tunnels, the Potential Booby Traps that have been set up for any of the routes into gaza. What do you think is realistic in terms of moving this many people out of gaza . I mean, the u. N. Is calling it impossible. But at the end of the day, honestly it is choosing between two bad options for these people. Yes, it is certainly complex. Ive been to gaza a couple times over the years and gaza city in particular. And it will be difficult. But i would not say impossible. The movement of civilians to the south and to egypt through rafah is certainly a possibility. Is egypt prepared for that . The answer is no. Will it be a catastrophe as far as humanitarian support . It is probably better than having them exposed to gunfire as they move through gaza city. That is a fair point. So we know that the defense secretary lloyd austin, who i understand you served with, or under, is about to address the media during his trip to the region. Were looking at the podium there are he is expected to appear with the Israeli Defense minister. What do you think that the mission is for him . Obviously Antony Blinken was there with a slightly different mission yesterday as we prepare for this assault. Or likely assault. Secretary austin certainly has a lot of experience in the region. He was centcom commander in the initial fight against isis in 2014. What Secretary Austin will be doing is really putting teeth behind what Secretary Blinken said. And that is that america has got israels back and to ensure that the region understands that. And so that will take some show of power. The movement of the strike route as well as a second one coming to the area is a part of that, but there will be other movements like that. Also facilitating Logistically Resupplies to the defense force, other things like that. But that is what i believe Secretary Austin will be doing. All right. Thank you very much for being with us. Really appreciate it. Thank you, kasie. And just ahead, what would gaza look like without hamas . That is next. Israels new narrative about that hamas, hamas is worse than isis. Here is sam kiley. Reporter 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. Reporter Benjamin Netanyahu is long compared hamas to the vicious regime of isis that established obedience through mass murder, lavishly filmed to spread terror. They published graphic pictures of dead babies on social media and bloodied crib following the hamas invasion of civilian kibbutz. Brutally of hamas, the blood thirstiness, brings to mind the worst rampages of isis. Reporter Israeli Forces are poised to invade sgaz ahead of ongoing airstrikes that have killed at least 1400 palestinians already. And the u. S. Has an Aircraft Carrier standing by off the israeli coast. More than 1200 people were killed by hamas in last weekends assaults from gaza. More than 200 were Israeli Soldiers. The rest were civilians. Many of them children, toddlers and babies. Inevitably inviting comparison with the reign of the socalled islamic state. But hamas has a long his her to of targeting the innocent including women and small children in Suicide Bombs especially. But it has no Pore Tensions to an islamic caliphate like isis. How can you explain why hamas even by the standardstensions Tn Islamic Caliphate like isis. How can you explain why hamas even by the standards of hamas killed so many children, so many toddlers . Is this something that is a surprise . What happened now killing civilians and killing children, i dont know why it happened. Even though that is not even comparable with sunni islam. Reporter hamas unlike isis hasnt turned its atrocities into propaganda video, but it has threatened to execute hostages on television. The movement is supported by iran but many other governments in the region have banned the hamas brand of political islam. In online press conference, a hamas official attempted to disown the atrocities. There were clear instructions from the commander of the brigades to avoid Targeting Civilians or killing them. Im not sure about the isis comparison, i think it is too early, but it is certainly the case that they may have been planning there for years. And thinking through what they can do because Everything Else they have tried hasnt worked. But certainly this is not going to work either. I think that this will spell the end of hamas. Reporter that is israels intent. But it is a prediction that has been wrong before. Sam kiley, cnn. Lets talk now about what happens in that long contested region. The gaza strip. If hamas is taken out. Max foster is joining us live from london. Max, good morning. Thank you for being here. I think that some people may not understand the way that this relationship works or how i mean, hamas is functionally the government in gaza. And we saw some government officials, they were talking about the military arm trying to claim that there was some sort of disconnect, but the reality is that they are kind of one in the same. And we have a bit of news that just crossed from Jeremy Diamond who says that the idf is Accusinging Hamas of hiding behind the people of gaza refusing or telling them not to leave. This is a dire governance situation for these people. And can you help explain kind of how we got here . Well, hamas is a militant group but also a Political Group with widespread support as a Political Group amongst palestinians. So that is what youve got here. We also have a situation where israel ntisnt just trying to suppress hamas, it is trying to destroy it. And if suck cessful, it will be destroyed. And the next days or weeks i think will be horrendous for palestinians. But what happens if they do destroy hamas . There is that adage you destroy or kill one militant and you create another one, maybe even more militant. And i think frankly at that point it will be a moment of Soul Searching for palestinians about what sort of governance they want going forward. There will be an alternative on the table to whatever comes Out Of The Ashes of hamas if there is another group that reflect it is and is more militant and that will be created frankly if he negotiating table. American will be there, jordan, egypt, they will create an alternative version of a government for gaza and palestinians will have to choose, do they want what comes Out Of The Ashes of hamas or do they want that internationally recognized order that will come out of it. You know, i wont predict what will happen, but i think that is the process. That is fair. And it is extraordinarily helpful to kind of be able to wrap your head around. One of the things here too that i keep going back to, part of why israel was so surprised here, was because they assumed basically that hamas wouldnt do this and part of what was baked into that assumption is all the things that were talking about right now. Israel controls access to everything for the gaza strip. So fundamentally if hamas were to do Something Like this, they would face extraordinarily dire consequences. This is what we have. And how do you think israel made that miscalculation . We talked a bit about the Intelligence Failures and i think, you know, iran is always playing in the background here. And that is what everyone is sort of concerned about obviously as well about iran getting further and further involved. And that is what were sort of looking to right now. But the Intelligence Failures were stark. There are images of rehearsals for this attack, this horrendous attack in israel in open sight. And it has been a big disaster. Whenever we ask the idf why there was this Intelligence Failure, they say that is a debate for further down the line. They are focusing on the having aation today. And i have to say, i wonder how it will work. If you imagine someone in a hospital in gaza city trying to get out, i dont know if they will get there. Hamas meanwhile saying stay put. So my heart sinks about what will happen the next couple of days. It is an absolutely devastating standoff with thousands if not in mill one plus lives hanging in the balance. It is just really awful. One plus lives hanging in the balance. It is just really awful. Id say enjoy the weekend, but it is a tough time. Exhausting week. And hamas telling gaza citizens to stay home as israel tells them to get out. What are they going to do and where would they go . Good morning. Thank you for being with us. Im kasie hunt. Breaking news, israels military is warning all civilians in gaza city to leave their homes and head south. Surest sign yet that the idf plans to intensify military operations in gaza. Hamas militants are telling palestinians not to leave their homes. The u. N. Calls the Mass Evacuation an impossible task. Hamas now says 13 israeli hostages held in gaza have been killed by random israeli bombings on parts of gaza over the past 24 hours. The Israel Defense forces said it could not confirm or deny that claim. Becky anderson is live in jerusalem with more. What do we know about this . Reporter nor can we verify the claim of course, but we are doing our it moutmost to do so. So that is coming from hamas purely at present. Neither the idf nor cnn with its teams on the Ground Sourcing Information are able to verify that. But i think what you have just delineated speaks to the enormity of what is going on here now. And ill explain why im in jerusalem here overlooking what is the most contentious site here, that temple al sharif, but what we know is that there are ground forces, 300,000 mobilized i Israeli Soeldi i Ier Soldiersn on that border. And the expectation is that they saturated de
