As is relapse war with, stretches into its 15th day, it is 10 00 p. M. In israel where hours ago, members of Benjamin Netanyahus war cabinet towards southern israelites preparations for an expected Ground Invasion are finalized, this as the first aid trucks enter gaza and the us elevates the release of two american hostages held by hamas. We begin our coverage in tel aviv where Lucas Tomlinson is standing by. Reporter is Relapse Top General says his forces are ready to enter the gaza strip and he ordered them to prepare for Ground Combat soon. Translator gaza is complicated. Gaza is densely populated. The enemy is preparing a lot of things but we are preparing for them. All capabilities are for the maneuver. Be brave with that thought. Reporter as you mentioned earlier today, the first 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered gaza through egypt. President biden pledged 100 million to gaza, we spoke in tel aviv this week in Israels Defense Forces say hamas launched 550 rockets that misfired and landed and exploded inside gaza including the recent misfire in a parking lot near hospital. We visited an army base in central israel, 1400 israelis killed by hamas have been taken, spoke to reservist who saw a baby cut out of a pregnant woman and beheaded, the mother was beheaded, women raped, their pelvises broken and she said the following. A child of Holocaust Survivors and i grew up Hearing Stories of the camps. I thought those were the worst stories. These stories are worse and i think that that is the hardest thing for me. I never thought i would live to see something worse than the stories i grew up with. Reporter is really forces are on high alert and increasing airstrikes over gaza. Some israeli f15s are only minutes from their target, they have to fly over the mediterraneans properly. Susan thank you. Lets bring in seth jones, Senior Vice President , director of the International Security program at the center for strategic and international studies. Thanks for coming. What do you make of the release of two american hostages. What do you think hamas did that . Reporter hamas said it released these hostages for humanitarian reasons but this is the same group that just killed a group of 1400 israelis and kept 200 hostages. That is hard to stomach. Qatar has been deeply involved in negotiations as has the us, so that was probably a qatari determination and finally i think hamas is trying to influence Public Opinion including in the us. I dont think it will work but thats one of the reasons those hostages. Susan has Ground Operation Preparations go on do you have any doubt that israel will go into the ground and does it have any other choice . Reporter i dont think it has any other choice but to put some boots on the ground. The objective the israelis announced is to destroy hamas in gaza. I dont think thats achievable but a significant degrade, they can to do that from the air. You need infantry on the ground especially in the tunnels to target hamas. On the Ground Component in central and Northern Gaza is critical if the israelis want to achieve those military objectives. Susan what do you make of the argument that israel will be walking into a hamas trap in gaza, the boobytraps, the tunnels, the handtohand combat, building to building combat, and inevitably there will be civilian casualties, this is a Quagmire Waiting to happen. What do you think of that . Reporter looking at Israeli Operations over the past decade, operation protective edge, Israeli Operations in gaza, there were israeli and palestinian casualties, the terrain is very difficult in my time in Special Operations in an urban environment, difficult with snipers shooting at you, suicide bombers, boobytrap, however, the key issue for the israelis is what kind of footprint, large number of forces, they wont do it that way, heavy focus on special Operations Forces to target key hamas locations, infrastructure, weapons depots. And the use of drones as well as robots on the ground in these areas, very cautious in where they go and how they go. Susan weve seen photographs from previous israeli exercises, those cant just be deadly. Is there any way to get into those other than through special forces, men brave enough to go in and take that risk since we suspect some of the hostages are held in those tunnels . This is where intelligence is critical and israelis have done a lot of intelligence collection including some human assets. If there are hostages, that will make it very difficult and it is raleys have to be cautious. Whether they are hostages sort of depends. If they can get in with special Operations Forces they may be able to go in. In some cases they may be able to destroy the tunnel with bombs, but by placing them in, the real issue, whats the intelligence picture say about the location, that will then influence the tactics they use. s susan they have let in humanitarian aid, to let out gazans including women and children to set up Refugee Camps in sinai which has a lot of open space. Why is the egypt and president so reluctant, what can the us do to change his mind . What does he need . Reporter this is the great question about israels neighbors. Most of them talk a good game when it comes to helping palestinians but when it comes to doing something in this case, camps, whether it is the jordanians, egyptians, lebanese, they are reluctant to do anything which is unfortunate but you cant expect israel to do it after being hit the way they have. Egypt, the problem for egypt is it already has an isis terrorist infrastructure across the border in sinai. With there are two problems, in neighboring countries, the second, they may let operatives to get out which increases their own problems in egypt. Thats driving the reluctant of the egyptians. Susan couldnt they just let women and children out, cant you can find them to some extent. Reporter that would be the responsible thing for egyptians to do, to bring in some number of individuals to take biometric data to make sure, you can check with what the israelis are bringing in, terrorists into egypt and set up temporary structures. That would be a wise humanitarian gesture. Susan thanks for sharing your expertise. Still had, President Biden makes a prime time appeal, tying the wars in israel and ukraine together.

President biden history has taught us when terrorists dont pay a price for their terror, when dictators dont pay a price for aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going. The cost and the threats to america and the world keep rising. Susan that was President Biden in a rare Primetime Address where he linked to the wars in israel and ukraine and made the case directly to the American Public that supporting our allies in those fights is vital to American National security. Lets bring in Wall Street Journal columnist dan heninger, kim strawser land Mary Anastasia. How effective do you think the president s case was for aid to ukraine and israel . Mary i think he did a good job. He laid out the facts of both cases and i think in particular what jumped out at me he went out of his way to bring in his left flank which is basically very sympathetic to the palestinian cause and he needs those democrats to come over to his side. He seemed to go out of his way to make the case for sympathy for the palestinians, aid for the palestinians, to the point where at some point i became a little bit annoyed because who got attacked here . But he did do that to try to bring both sides together and did a pretty good job. Susan some on the right are saying the president should not have linked the two, much stronger case for israel, these are people who dont want to support ukraine but how effective was he in linking the two as both in american interests . It was indeed a challenge to pool the two of them and jumped back on board, and made a very strong case for helping israel, primary allies, but he made a good case for why we should be supporting ukraine, regards it as a province, he thinks Eastern Poland was donated by the soviet union. This is a speech he should have given a year ago and he has never done that. This ambivalence about ukraine built over the past year bringing us to this point where people now that the hundred billion Dollar Request has been set up to congress they are talking about pulling it apart. We will have separate debates over israel, ukraine, and the border as well. The president finally said the right things about ukraine. The question, will this act of leadership be pushed forward . The president cant do a speech and walk away from it, thats the challenge. Susan i thought the president could have made more detailed connection of the degree to which russia and iran are cooperating in these conflicts and coordinating a lot of their efforts against the United States and those two allies. What do you think . He talked about how this was an Inflection Point and the problem between russia and iran but the support iran has been showing was something he needed to hammer home before. In particular to make the point that we have to face this global disorder in a larger way and thats something i wish he had done more too. I agree that he was talking to his other side but if you are going to make the case for this money, at some point you have to make the case that all democratic ambitions they want are not possible in terms of spending. We have 2 focus on rebuilding us and Military Strength as percentage of gdp those falling over the years and that is something that has to become a priority in this Congress Rather than an afterthought and it might mean they wont have all democratic Spinning Ambitions domestically at home. There was a lot more he could have made the case to his party for and that has to be one of the central things as he goes forward. Susan he said iran would be held accountable and we also know the last couple days that the us had destroyers, intercepted missiles from yemen and the houthis and attacks on american bases in rack and syria. When is the president s going to have to act against these proxies in order to reestablish american deterrence . Kimberly he spent two Carrier Strike groups to the region and the uss Mount Whitney this week and that is a highly super sophisticated surveillance collection ship. I think i would prefer him to speak softly, carry a big stick, get these ships going and start moving in that direction. Thats what people are listening to, not this old man in the white house but our enemies are going to be responding to what kinds of moves we make and of those things are important that he has already done. I agree that he needs to inform the American Public that this is a larger problem than the gaza strip. This is a problem of iran. We have to take it on at some point. Susan it is relevant to the calculation of adversaries, the president s delivery is not as strong as it used to be. It doesnt show a commanding presence, go in conflict with the president you have but how much of a factor is that . Us deterrence is a factor. Our adversaries have been testing us. Putin is in ukraine, hamas went into egypt. We have xi jinping sitting in beijing figuring out is this the time to move towards taiwan. The president doesnt project the kind of forcefulness the United States needs in a wartime leader. Susan the speakers standoff on capitol hill and as its third week as President Biden pushes congress to fasttrack his 105 billion military aid package.

It is a smart invent investment that will pay dividends for American Security for generations. Susan he called aid to israel and ukraine a smart investment. The admin astray consented to one hundred 5 million request to capitol hill on friday as the house and did another week without a speaker after ohio congressman jim jordan fell short in his third bid to take a gamble. Jim jordan lost by more. Why so many doubts in the conference . There are divisions in the conference and this began with the single vacancy vote by matt gaetz to remove Kevin Mccarthy and things have not gotten better since that day going forward. They will gotten worse. The speakership has become like another playing card, representatives are dealing because they want deduction included and it has become the sausage factory. Susan they said we wanted to be 20,000, not 10,000. There are 217 republicans, all over the United States, representing different constituencies. The job of the speaker of the house is to bring that together and br
