Developments in the conflict between israel and hamas, this as mr. Biden submits a 105 billion aid request to congress that includes funding for israel, ukraine and the u. S. Southern border. Welcome to fox news live, im mike emmanuel, illinoisan, its great to have you gillian, its great to have you. Gillian President Biden and Vice President harris also received a brief aring this morning on the late developments in israel and gaza from the National SecurityTeam Including the secretaries of state and defense. Alex hoff joins us from Rehoboth Beach, delaware, where shes covering the president this weekend. Hi, a alex. Reporter hi, gillian. We are await moreing more awaiting more details, we though this is at least the eighth time that they have so spoken since the war has broken out, and earlier today President Biden spoke with pope francis over the phone. On that call, the president condemned the Terrorist Attacks by hamas, the two also spoke about the increased need to protect civilians and provide additional humanitarian aid. According to the white house, they also discussed the need to prevent escalation in the region and work toward a durable peace in the middle east. So when it comes to missing americans, thats something of constant the focus for the president. The Ad Administration is still trying to sort out how many of the 10 unaccounted for are being held hostage by hamas in dpaz is and gaza and how many of the 10 are dead. That adds to the question of whether the u. S. Is urging israel to delay the Ground Invasion until the hostages are freed. We asked the president about that yesterday. Reporter are you encouraging the israelis to delay invasion . [inaudible] reporter we know he is, because he spoke with the Prime Minister today. And this morning the president had breakfast at a popular spot here in Rehoboth Beach and avoided are directly addressing a delay. Israel has not only the right, as a weve said, but the obligation to defend itself. Were not in The Business Of Second Guessing what theyre doing. We are talking to them on a regular basis. About how they do it. Reporter keep in mind a week ago sources told fox news the u. S. Government had asked israel to delay a Ground Operation until civilians could flee gaza, and cnn is reporting something similar. Cril jill alex hoff in rebow both beach for us, thank you. Mike israeli troops are on high alert at both gaza and the Lebanon Border as iranbacked hezbollah threatens to join a hamas in fighting a ground war should the idf invade gaza. We have Fox Team Coverage with Lucas Tomlinson in tel aviv and greg palkot at the Lebanon Border. Lets start with greg. Reporter hey, mike. Just in the last half hour, weve seen two flares sent up by the israeli mail tear military, just about 10 seconds ago we heard an explosion on the other side across the border. In fact, in the days that we have been here, we have watched clashes between israel and the iranianbacked militants escalate and escalate. A good reason why, perhaps, with a huge Ground Incursion looming in gaza against hamas down south, Prime Minister netanyahu found the time to come up here to the north to be with the troops to deliver a clear message to hezbollah, dont attack or you will be devastated, he basically said. The fighting is going on. Antitank missiles, mortar, Small Arms Fire from hezbollah, tanks, artillery, drone blasts from israel. So far just in the last two weeks 19 hezbollah fighters have been killed, 6 Israeli Soldiers have been killed plus civilian casualties. Take a look at what we saw and heard earlier today. Up here in northern israel, seems like almost every neighborhood is reinforced one way or another. At in this turning of thed road, more than a dozen tanks and a whole lot of troops ready for anything. Three divisions of israeli troops are in the north along with heavy Armor Guarding against possible infiltration and airborne attacks by hezbollah militants. Most of the villages along the border have been evacuated in case of another war. The situation isnt easy. Were here, were guarding the country. We are getting ready and were ready whatever we need. But were all family members. We came to, to watch our family. Reporter watch your family. Make sure what happened in the south wont happen up north. Reporter its a very personal thing for that that israeliamerican soldier, as you could hear, mike. One more note just to show the interconnections of this well unrest, israel in the last 24 hours has bombarded with airstrikes two major airports inside syria. Syria is basically the funnel, its where iran sends its arms and ammunitions through to get to its terror proxies, hezbollah and also hamas down in the south. So its unrest throughout the region right now. Mike . Mike greg, its been 15 days since those devastating hamas attacks. Do you get a sense those Israeli Ground forces are getting antsy, to go in and just wanting to get it over with . Reporter yes. From what weve seen, and weve been here since almost the first days, and at that time, two or three days in when we were talking to soldiers who were on the border between gaza and southern israel, they were ready and anxious at that time. Remember now that a lot of these folks have been sitting out in these fields, in these tanks, getting resupply for all this time resupplied, and that is a logistical issue as much as anything else. But it shows how tricky, how complicated this Ground Incursion will be into gaza is for israel to be taking this much time to be sure at least in their own thinking that theyre going to get this right and its not going to be easy. Itll be complicated especially with those hostages still inside gaza as well. Mike greg palkot doing a great job on the israelLebanon Border. Many thanks. Gillian Defense Secretary austin is readying more troops for potential deployment as the u. S. Is prepping for the con the flick to balloon across the region conflict to balloon across the region. Lucas tomlinson with preparations underway from tel aviv. Hi, lucas. Reporter first, ten u. S. Senators came here to tel aviv today to meet with their israeli counterparts and show support for israel in this war against hamas. Senator Richard Blume withen that would says hamas massacre against israel began with the green light from iran. It is genocide. Hamas doesnt just hate the jewish people like me, it wants to kill us. And when evil rears its head, we must look it into thes eyes, and we must take it down. And hamas is pure evil. Reporter the senators met with families of the hostages and were greatly moved by the photos, videos and stories that they saw. Israeli forces continuing their strikes in gaza, hamas Number Two Fire Support officer was killed responsible for Rocket Attacks against israel. Now, last Night Defense secretary lloyd austin ordered the Eisenhower Strike Group to proceed to the middle east. When it comes to the looming Ground Assault on gaza, austin predicts it will be a tougher fight than the 9month fight against isis in mosul. This may be a bit more difficult because of the underground network of tunnels and the fact that theyve had a long time to prepare for a fight if. So i think youll see a fight thats a characterized by a lot of ieds, a lot of booby traps and just really grinding activity going forward. Reporter austin is also rushing in t. L. A. D. And patriot Ballistic Missile systems, no doubt a sign of how seriously they take that Ballistic Missile threat from iran, and all nonessential personnel have been ordered to evacuate and go back to the United States. Gillian that Travel Warning is now a four for the country. Lucas tomlinson in tel aviv, thank you. Mike israels Prime Minister saying that the Hamas Conflict is, quote, do or die for israel. Also issuing a stern warning to ez hezbollah. Joining me thousand live in studio is Israeli Special envoy for combating antisemitism. Mihal, welcome. Thank you. Mike so you have argued that humanitarian aid should be based on some conditions. Would you explain for our audience . Absolutely, mike. Reciprocitys a foundational principle of international law. All of those countries that are actually providing humanitarian aid to the civilians in gaza that are held hostage as weapons or sacrifices by genocidal Terror Organization hamas, all of that humanitarian aid has to be conditioned to the respect and upholding of that international law, i. E. , for the Immediate Release of 218 hostages unconditionally. In order to receive that humanitarian aid which we know hamas will put its hands on some of it, there has to be a condition made, the immediate and unconditional return of hostages held against international if law. Mike you argue that a u. N. Group is funding antisemitism. I found that pretty shocking. Can you explain that . Its not one single u. N. Group, mike. There are institutions and organizations funded, including actually by american tax dollars, such as unrah that taught the savage barbarians that committed the atrocities offing9 7th. We have to know that unrah teaches the same curriculum right now, to todays palestinian children living in gaza, and there is no acceptable understanding for the continued support of such institutions or organizations. The that continue to fuel the same antisemitic, vile hatred that enables the atrocities of october 7th. We have to learn from what happened on october 7th. The world cannot imagine going back to what happened, to the world before october 7th and after october 7th just like 9 11. Weve got to move on this program. There are organizations, there are mechanisms that function within the u. N. That peddle the very same antisemitic hatred that enabled the genocidal attack of october 7th and also enabled the responses around the world including right here on campus, right here on the streets in the United States, many melbourne, australia, in paris, in the u. K. That justify or excuse or deny the atrocities, the war crimes, the Crimes Against Humanity perpetrated by the genocidal terrorists. Mike what is your message to those on campuses here in the United States out protesting . Thank you, mike. The first thing to know is anybody that that cannot condemn what it is we saw, the murder, the bludgeoning, the rape, the burning of babies, the abduction of civilians, thousands, thousands murdered and injured, anybody who Cannot Unequivocally condemn that has picked a side. St the side of that has waged war on our shared humanity and on civilization. And the second very important message, mike, anybody truly committed to the identification and dot. Com batting of the virulent antisemitism that has fueled this attack, anybody who really understands that antizionism is the modern i mutated form of antisemitism that needs to be identified and combated whether on campus, on social media platforms, in our Law Enforcement mechanisms has to brutalize the definition that includes precisely the new mutated, modern, main treatment form of antisemitism that has fueled not only the atossty, but the responses to them atrocities, and that includes the working definition of antisemitism that has been adopted by over 40 countries, by over 1,000 entities. This is the time, the masks have been pulled off. Antizionism is antisemitism. Mike what more needs to be done to fight antisemitism in the world . Well, the first thing, mike, it has to begin with a definition. You cant combat something without identifying it, and you cannot identify anything without defining it. And we have, as i said, a definition. The result of a long democratic process that includes the delegitimization and the double standards of the individual jew as an equal member in our society, but of the jewish nationstate,s israel, as an equal member in the family of nations. So the only way that we will be able to make any headway at this moment is to begin to identify antisemitism in its full, comprehensive form using the International Holocaust remembrance a Alliance Definition in every forum in which we are committed to combat antisemitism. I think there are many of us who were hoping that we were further along in this world. That people had gotten beyond system of this hatred and some of this ugliness that weve seen in the last 15 days. Are you surprised by some of the things weve seen over the past 15 days . You know, aye been tracking antisemitism for a long time, for decades, and its the same dehumanization that enabled the atrocities of the holocaust. When the world committed to never again, never again be silent, never again enable the targeting, the murder and the bludgeoning of individuals for their identity, for their heritage, for their ancestry, never again means something now. Never again is right now. It is that jewish nationstate that that is targeted for the very same identity, heritage, antes access try. And am i surprised . Im horrified. I have any own three my own three soldiers in the army right now, and i came here to make accessible the urgency of this war, because it is an assault on all who value the cherished values of life and liberty. It is an assault on all of our shared humanity. S it is an assault on civilization by genocidal terror. Just one proxy that we keep mentioning, hamas, but you showed before the borders of israel, there are additional proxies of a genocidal regime in iran, and we have to differentiate it from the people of iran. Mike sure. The same regime that holds the people of iran hostage that are captive to exactly the same kind of genocidal hate, and we at this point in time, mike, have to rally all allies in that cherish our shared humanity and be the Boots On The Ground of this war. And ill say the unconventional war for Public Opinion that has been waged, and weve seen it over and over again including on mainstream media, including on social media. That is the war of our times. So there are Boots On The Ground in israel and beyond, and there are many Boots On The Ground right here in North America that can fight this war. Mike my to you and your family. Thank you very much for having me. Mike gilliansome. Gillian a prominent michigan synagogue president was found stabbed to death early saturday morning. A Police Investigation is underway this hour.
