Pavlich in for trey gowdy. It is sunday night in america. A world on edge as a war between israel and hamas claims thousands and thousands of lives. We have seen unspeakable evils unfold, innocent civilians targeted in the desperation grows to get american citizens to safety, questions remain about what role, our role will be as israel prepares a Ground Invasion into gaza. Meanwhile iran isnt bowing revenge against israel if they proceed and abide Administration Still stopped short of Linking Tehran to the Terror Worsening by the day. First we began with greg palkot live on the ground from the israeli lebanon border. Over to you. We are up here in Northern Israel keeping an eye on what could be developing as a second front the iranian back hezbollah Militant Group across the board and we will have more on that no moment. Lets run down what is happening, israels war with hamas militants. The military continues its buildup all around the gaza strip, tanks, vehicles, soldiers all poised, Israeli Defense forces again on sunday pretty much spelling out that ileana, sea and Air Operation against Hamas Inside Of Gaza could be beginning soon. This is the situation inside of gaza right now is nothing but desperate. Hundreds of thousands of civilians fleeing from the northern end of the gaza strip, and the crossfire with hamas militants that are still doing battle with israel, many remain in the real concern food, electricity, supplies, medicines are all running out and really catching the civilians out as well. The grim numbers build 1400 killed inside of israel by hamas militants including 30 americans, 155 held hostage inside of gaza. The number for americans unaccounted for now may be a part of the 13 palestinians, 2700 dead now. Again civilians caught by the hamas militants in the late word and escape might be opening to egypt in the southern end of the gaza strip. Humanitarian aid could get in including nationals including americans could get out. As for the situation vitally here as the israeli lebanese border we have been witnessing on sunday a really full day of backandforth strikes between israelis and hezbollah. We have seen gun fire, rockets, helicopters, drones, players, you name it. This is beginning to be a very hot situation as well. Israel says it does not want another war. Hezbollah is saying these are warning strikes but i think the final word is coming from iran. Iran is saying if israel escalates it will talk to its partners for example has below and get them to act as well. Thank you greg palkot on the northern border of israel, you mentioned iran as tensions escalate in the lead up to israels Gaza Offensive in the south, families of the citizens still unaccounted for our pleading for help. Think of us not just at the headline but we are people with families. This is a human issue, these are civilians that are missing and have been captured. I have to hold onto optimism and hope because right now its only option for me. My number one concern night and day is getting her family back. The binding of administration came under pressure early on scrambling to address the crisis and finally announcing earlier this week that the u. S. Would begin chartering flights from israel but this remains the worst american Hostage Crisis since 1979 in tehran and the u. S. State department is playing catchup to evacuate u. S. Citizens from a war zone that is growing worse by the second. Joining me now former National Security advisor robert obrien. Mr. Ambassador we look at the situation and we now have confirmed 30 americans have been killed by hamas terrorists, many taken hostage. First i want to get your Historical Perspective on what the situation really is especially given the worst Hostage Crisis of tehran in 1979. This is a really terrible thing for the United States. Hamas declared were not just on israel but the United States of america killed 30 americans, they knowingly have 13 american hostages, not to mention the israeli hostages it is time for them to be released and sent home iran talks about escalating hezbollah talks about escalating hamas has threatened to kill our hostages and all we can muster and say were stated by israel. We need to send a clear message to Hostage Takers and The Americans that you can run but you cannot hide and they better release our hostages forth with her the could be a severe consequences not just from israel but the United States of america. The white house has been adamant not sending american troops. They havent necessarily taken that off the table to rescue the hostages but given your background did all the work that you did in the Trump Administration successfully to bring americans home can you give us context about who negotiators are working with, theyre not working with the government there working with a terrorist organization and where the hostages might be and what the tactical strategy is to find them and get them home. Katie, that is a great question and the couple located situation because we have these americans in the israeli hostages and dispersed all over the gaza strip most likely in cages and tunnels and horrific conditions. First of all my heart goes out to the families i dealt with Hostage Families for many years, it is hardworking for these families as they dont know what is happened to their loved ones in the uncertainty to know for live or dead is a terrible situation but we have to use all of her diplomatic tools and third parties like qatar, turkey and maybe egypt, folks were in contact with hamas letting them know we want our citizens back but we also have to employ the military option, the israelis are highly capable and their great hostage rescue teams. But they dont have enough to handle all the hostages. We need to move them forward into the region, the delta force the seal teams and have them staged in israel and egypt ready to go so when the Ground Invasion starts and there are opportunistic opportunities to rescue hostages that we can do so quickly and dont have to bring them from fort bragg and get them all the way there, we know theyre there waiting right now so wooden opportunity arises we can strike. We mentioned the 30 americans were been killed 13 are still missing and atmos is allegedly holding 100 israelis in addition to that. I want to get to the broader picture here on the global world stage. It seems like things are falling apart and more unstable now under this president than they were of course under President Trump in the administration you worked for, President Biden was asked today whether he can handle or the United States were breaking out in a number of theaters. Take a listen. Are the wars in israel and ukraine more than the United States can take on. Were the United States of america for god sake, the most powerful nation in the history of the world, the history of the world. We could take care of both of these and still maintain our Overall International defense. Your response to that . Im glad to see joe bidens talk about peace through strength and being more aggressive, we have three primary under series, russia, iran and china, russia has invaded ukraine under the Biden Administration, iran has basically invaded israel and threatening to do further harm because are not deterred by us, we give them 70 billion in sanctions and 6 billion cash for hostages and my concern china which is been threatening taiwan which they never have before and never under the Trump Administration in the Republic Of China taiwan and we would have three adversaries and three wars, what causes that become a weaknesses in adversaries, america is not a weak country better adversaries perceive us of being weak and were perceived being weak and provocative and they try to take actions and see agaigap and try to take advantaf america. I never thought i would talk about the carter years is a good old days but jimmy carter after russia took nicaragua, finally when they went into Afghanistan Carter said too much and he changed his position we need the body to administration to do the same for the good of america. At the people have a lot of questions given the weapon shortages. Robert obrien thank you for your time and expertise. We hope we get those americans home. Thank you for having me with you. Massive propalestinian rallies across the u. S. And Around The World coincide with hamas leaders called for a global day of jihad a day of rage that had Global Leaders on alert for lowlevel attacks in the fears materialized friday after french schoolteacher was killed and the staff at the Israeli Embassy in beijing was stabbed. Is there still concern for Homeland Security here in america lets bring in former Coordinator Counterterrorism at the state department nathan sales, thank you for being here tonight. One thing i noticed with the propalestinian rallies weve been seen around the country, we see a few hamas flags inserted in their and the proisrael rally you see an American Flag flying you dont see the same at the propalestinian rallies and given how open the border is in iran has proxies all over the world, do you have concerns about islamic terrorism again rearing its head here at home. I do, the first thing that has to be said protesters have a First Amendment right to make complete fools of themselves and i tell you the prohamas protesters are exercising the right to be fools to the maximum extent that they can, we should be clear about what theyre protesting for, when they say that they want a palestine from the river to the sea, what they are calling for is the extermination of the jewish state. They think israel should not exist at all. This is Extermination Rhetoric and their First Amendment means that we have to tolerate this kind of speech but the antidote for that speech is more speech. We need to expose what the hamas sympathizers are really all about in the other thing that we have to do we have to locked on the southern border. In the past three and half years weve seen a dramatic spike in the number of watch listed individuals, suspected terrorist who made it into the country from and 2019 all the way to 154 in fiscal year 2022. All of this is happening on the Biden Administrations watch and those are just the ones we know about, what about the people who managed to make it into the country undetected. The First Priority for any government is to secure its border and protect his people were falling asleep at the job. What is your response to the white house saying that is not a concern for them. They continue to allow the border to be wide open, they throughout last week or the week before that we will build order wall, that is worthless when you allow people to walk in entering themselves and with no Background Checks or paperwork. What is your response to the white house saying one thing while doing another that completely endangers americans here at home while you see the perspective being spewed all over in cities across the country that going into civilian homes and murdering jews and israelis is perfectly fine its an active resistance. What i would expect to see in america is rallies of solidarity with jews Around The World. The attack on israel, the worst day for israel and the 75 year history is the worst slaughter of jews in the holocaust. We said never again, now is the time to show that we mean it in the way that you show that you mean it is being in the streets and showing support for juice who are now looking over the shoulders and fearing for their lives. My 3yearold daughter goes to daycare in Arlington Virginia right across the street is the Jewish Community center, there are two police cars parked in front of the Jewish Community center around the clock, what is going on in america where peaceloving innocent american citizens now need 24 hour protection because they are afraid of violence being committed against them because of their faith. Moving forward what do you think that americans can do for themselves given that the administration is outputting a protection for them if they are worried about their own communities and a threat to th them. We need to back israel to the health, they have suffered one of the deadliest terrorist attacks the world has ever seen. It needs to degrade and destroy hamas to the point its no longer capable of threatening militarily or acting as a quasigovernment in gaza. What we heard from the administration is helpful words but now its helpful deeds and it means making sure israel has a diplomatic space that it needs when the critics at the un, with the critics in europe and edible he starts saying well guys arent you going a little too far, the United States needs to stand strong with israel and make shrews able to finish the job so it never has to face a threat like this again. We wiped out isis and hamas should suffer the same fate. Thank you for being here. Katie coming up israel sees iran as a Puppet Master behind the attacks of hamas and has black but is that enough for the white house to finally stop negotiating with the wel this she■s a hero moment. Even today, only a quarter of Stem Graduates are women. Theyd go, oh, you dont look like an engineer. There is this preconception. Some things are for boys. But diversity drives innovation. My goal is to really flip the script. Pick something that you love and go for it. How do we live in space . How do we live on the moon . I want to help figure that out. You can create the blueprint.

Katie welcome back to sunday night in america. Iran under severe scrutiny for financial military legs thomas as a nations Foreign Minister reportedly threatened a huge earthquake from hezbollah if israel moves forward with the Ground Offensive in gaza. Whether you believe iran is a puppetmaster or not. Iran always has but a country opposed to the interest of the United States and its allies, especially israel. Criticism is mounted against the binding approach negotiating with the totalitarian regime. The white house is stopping short of blaming iran as House Republicans push for more information on reports as state Department Employees with potentially compromising ties to tehran. Washington free beacon Senior Reporter adam credo has been at the forefront of the story and he joins me now. Adam the president was just as about irans role and i would hear from him and get your response. Is iran behind the gaza war. I do want to get into Classified Information. But to be very blunt there is no clear evidence of that. At this point no evidence iran is behind any of this. Iran constantly supports hamas and hezbollah i dont mean that but in terms did they have for knowledge, did they help plan the attack, there is no evidence of that at this point. Katie adam how can the white house, particularly the president say iran is not involved but also say that they have for years supported the Terrorist Organizations with money and weaponry, these two things are not squaring up. It is laughable and it is not classified iran has been funding and directing hamas for years and years and asked supported hezbollah on the northern border as well. Hamas leaders were in tehran before this attack took place and to say iran did not have a role in this is a complete fabrication into Sales Classified is even more laughable that iran is upfront with her support about hamas and very proud. As you seen from the iranian leadership in the statement of the past days. Katie youve written a lot about the issue and bit at the forefront of the story on iran and funding in the Biden Administrations approach i want to put on the screen some of your work. In august you brought the head by the body to administration raise concerns abou
