Well go live to the region look at the tough choices ahead for President Biden.

Does that what voters want to hear . And its Debate Night in montana . Race there could, it could draw it could determine control of the United States senate. Republicans have an edge, but democrats are shelling out millions, hoping for surprises across the map. Im Manu Raju in for Dana Bash. Lets go behind the headlines. And inside politics breaking news out of The Middle East. After days of pounding lebanon with airstrikes intended to destroy the Terror Group has below the u. S. Believes some sort of Ground Incursion is imminent. A us official says it will likely be more limited than originally planned, but it seems President Biden is not on board heres what happened when he was asked about those plans just moments ago maybe now launching a limited operation into lebanon, are you aware of that . Are you comfortable with their plan . Im more aware than you might know, and im comfortable with them stopping we should have a ceasefire now cnns Nic Robertson is covering all the breaking developments from tel aviv. So nick, what could this limited incursion actually look like . It could be and this is what weve been hearing from sources over the past week. An effort just to control the border zone, a mile, two miles perhaps on israels northern border. So that those 60,000 israelis whove been forced out of their homes for the past year can go back what does that mean . That means taking control of the houses in the villages where hezbollah has been popping up at windows with Shoulder Launch rockets firing them, enter into israeli villages just across the border. What it has looked like through history is limited incursions like that. Oftentimes become much bigger yeah and a very senior official briefing, just a couple of weeks ago. Very wellinformed of course, about what the military is doing. Said the same thing that theres no such thing as a limited incursion. So its not quite clear what this is going to look like. The troops are there, the Defense Minister has told them that they are going to be used the buildup is clear. The Special Forces we understand have been going across the border for limited operations. So are we going to be seeing a Buffer Zone created in the next few weeks along the israeli lebanese border on the lebanese side with israel controlling that Buffer Zone but that is not going to happen without Hezbollah Fighting back whats that fight going to look like and how much more deeper into lebanon the idf drawn nick youre actually on board an idea of carrier when Air Strikes against houthis in yemen were being carried out. Tell us about that yeah, this was a converted Boeing 707 carrying these huge tanks of fuel inside the seats was stripped out and there were big Fuel Tanks inside and its job was to refuel the f 35s on their mission to yemen to strike the houthi controlled Port City of hudaydah, where they hit a Powergenerating Station Fuel stores a message not just to the houthis who i was told. Her just the previous day fired a ballistic missile into the center of israel. In fact, the houthis claimed that they were targeting Pain International Airport here, ben gurion airport, a message to the houthis to cease and desist those ballistic Missile Strikes into the center of israel, but also to the irradiance turns a message to them to show that israel has a long reach. And i was aboard that Refueling Flight and for an hourandahalf flying south over the Red Sea one f 35s after another, f35, each sort of Guzzling Gas for about three or four minutes, came up to this Tanker Aircraft to make sure that when they went on target, they were full of fuel. And if they had to do evasion tactics, but engaged by a surface to air missiles. But they could evade and get home safely. So this was a mission that was i was told was the second longest Combat Mission in the air forces history. So a very important message from the israelis to the iranian to stay out of the Fight And Lebanon for. The houthis to cease and desist that Missile Strikes into the center of israel very details from Nic Robertson on the ground in tel aviv. Thank you for that nic and for more, im joined by with some incredible reporters to break this all down. Nprs ayesha rascoe, cnns Mj Lee Astead Herndon of the New York Times. And the New Yorkers susan glasser, nice to see you all. Thanks for joining me. At this moment. Susan, you cover these issues in detail it seems i mean, this war, it seems to seem to be in a regional war of sorts, right now. And theres talk about this italian retaliation from iran. If iran and does retaliate, what are the implications for the region and for The World well, look on some level, this is what weve been bracing for and fearing ever since October 7, a lot of us diplomacy behind the scenes, especially in the early months, aimed at preventing exactly what is now taking place, which is the conflict spreading in an open way next door . Her to israel, to lebanon what many israelis would say is that we are already in an allout war and that if you look at the strikes from iran backed proxies, its not just the conflict in gaza, but in fact, weve been at war in the north. Nic mentioned the 60,000 israelis whove been displaced one question i have is what is around both Appetite And Capability to strike at israel in a major way right now, thats one important question. But most importantly, right . In the last ten days or so, weve seen a remarkable effort by israel to take out not only the leader of hezbollah, but essentially the entire leadership cadre. And so the question how does has built out reconstitute itself . How quickly is that possible . Is the lebanese government which often has been essentially a pawn of hezbollah, capable and able, for example, to step up, move its own army to the border and retake some of the power that has the law has wielded its own name in recent Years Hezbollah saying that they would try to replace their leader will see how quickly that happens and what that means. You reported mj over the weekend about the Balancing Act for biden the headline of your story has, as well as Leaders Killing creates another Balancing Act for biden, what are you hearing about the White Houses handling this and the fact that the president is out of step with Benjamin Netanyahu about whats next. Yeah. I mean, susan, you mentioned us diplomatic efforts over the last year to try to prevent exactly this scenario. I think the Bottom Line is at least for now, theyve not been successful. And in fact, you look at the past couple of days and theyve been actually a bit of an embarrassment for the biden administration when they came out last week hailing this ceasefire proposal, they basically very strongly suggested that they expected Hezbollah And Israel to be on board. And then it was a couple hours later that we had Benjamin Netanyahu come out and actually no, im not on board at all. And now here we are a couple of days later, we appear to be on the verge of a Ground Incursion. Though us sources are saying that its likely to be limited, at least in the beginning. So here we have another yet another example of a situation where the president has gone forth and claim some sort of either victory or some kind of progress in The Middle East. The Prime Minister pulls out the rug from under him and you have to imagine that there is a lot of growing frustration right now and look, were five is five days away from election day. So the question is, how does this play out on the campaign . What kind of impact does this have among voters . And what is the rhetoric among lawmakers on both sides . In the aftermath of all this, we heard some of that over the last day or so from including from republicans like senator tom cotton, who is asked about what the next steps should be as this escalates . Now is not the time for a ceasefire or to deescalate as Joe Biden, Kamala Harris want hezbollah is on its knees. United states should help israel Drive Hezbollah to the mat and choke it out and finish it off once and for all, that means for the first time in decades or ron would be exposed on its flanks with no Terror Proxy Cable capable of devastating israel or our troops and our friends in the region. And thats a contract contrast. Republicans want to draw between the calls from biden for a ceasefire, assuming harris is on the same page as Joe Biden on that and then saying choke out hezbollah and finish it off once and for all. But of course thats easier, said its always easier said than done and especially when i mean, what the White House is dealing with is the problem of actually having to deal with issues as resident, like when you are not empowered, say youre trump, you can just kind of say, i will waive my Magic Wand and everything will be okay when youre president , you actually have to deal with these issues. And i think you see the problems here, like whatever you however you feel about what israel is doing, the future of israel in the future of The Middle East is certainly is totally uncertain. And even though this idea of choking out hezbollah, you may get hezbollah. But what will come in that vacuum, we see that over and over again and middle east policy, where you go go into iraq and the next thing, you know, you have the islamic state, like you dont know whats going to come into that vacuum. And so i just think that, you know, this is a very volatile situation and is the situation that the biden administration has not been able to really manage and control where i think the republican argument on this farnaz multifaceted. Yes, theyre saying that Joe Biden has but to the instability, but i really think theyre saying that he is not in charge of the situation that when you see kind of netanyahu and frankly embarrassing him on every single step and asked her this feeling that the biden administration is not the ones in charge. Its not the ones i think are showing leadership. This is why Donald Trump has been trying to make his peace through strength argument, which obviously is not based in logic, right . When you ask him how is he actually going to fix these issues in the Plan Layout barely adds up to the concepts of a plan laid out raids of the debate, right . Im saying that. Right. But what theyre trying to do is show biden as an effective and i think making sure if unless harris has made a distinction from biden on this front, which he is yet to do. I think theyre trying to wrap up though argument from top of the ticket. Its about them. Yeah. I mean, i think its important to note that, you know, Donald Trump has an actual record of four years in the White House and he certainly did not bring Peace Or Strength to The Middle East in this period time in particular, with iran, with the notable exception of his strike on Qasem Soleimani what what happened in the four years that trump was president with iran. Iran came closer than ever before to pursuing its nuclear program. It armed and rearmed hezbollah and those longrange missile capabilities that they have been using ever since October 7 on israel. Many of that was Bolt Up in the trump years and he essentially outsourced american policy in israel and toward the palestinians to netanyahu and his government and in a way that took away us leverage and ability. But i do think there is an overall reading in The World, not just in The Middle East, a sense that our own internal divisions i have weekend, the United States as, as a power that we are so consumed by our polarized politics that were not in a position to lead regardless of who actually wins our president ial election. Lets see how much it impacts the president ial election and whether it comes up in Tomorrow Nights debate, i suspect this will. All right.
