Behind the scenes, qatar and others are trying to get a deal to get these hostages out of gaza. The israelis announced 229 people being held in the strip excluding the four released as part of ongoing negotiations. We should note hamas claimed negotiations fell apart as a result of the expanded raid into gaza but weve not independently confirmed that. In the past, hamas tried to use these actions by the israelis as their own propaganda in this parallel information war. Jackie it seems theres some credence to the israelis claiming that hamas is playing for time. Is that what you would say . Reporter hamas understands their only Bargaining Chip is the hostages and they are being held inside gaza according to hamas, The Tunnel System behind the strip, they are looking to keep them alive and healthy to negotiate. In the distance the outgoing fire into gaza, israelis are not taking their time, they are moving forward trying to destroy as many positions and put as much pressure on hamas as possible.

Seven Israeli Soldiers with casualties as well left 2 evacuations on both sides of the border. As the Ground Activity in gaza increases my there were numerous protests, the west bank against israel in favor of hamas, skirmishing with authorities. As for hezbollah and iran, they are not committed to their own war against israel. They are concerned about the status quo. A hamas official has called on hezbollah to do more. This could get hotter here. Two last points, about the United States. The State Department telling americans this is overnight in lebanon, to leave as soon as they can before things get worse before there are scheduled flights. We have two us Aircraft Carrier groups flexing a little muscle on the scene. Back to you. Griff thank you. Coming up this hour, jackie will speak with former israeli Prime Minister and current Leader Of The Opposition y yachid. Jackie the Biden Administration urging a pause for humanitarian aid into gaza. Mike emanuel is live at the white house with the latest on what they are saying. What are they saying . Reporter the white house is making the case the israelis are running their own Ground Operations but theres criticism coming from the left from Congresswoman Ilhan omar saying we have to ask what is the end game . Does the Ground Invasion increase security and safety for israelis or palestinians . No. The Biden Administration has warned that israel does not have achievable military objectives for gaza Ground Invasion. A Key Senate Republican today says the United States should help the israelis finish the job. They can take care of the war in gaza, hold off has blood in the north, do what they need to do but these other proxies shooting longrange missiles at one of the greatest allies, israel, those need to be silenced. Reporter Spokesman John Kirby talked about us and israeli discussions. Whatever for warfare looks like, weve been sharing with them our concerns about the hostages and their safety, to find some way or ways to get them out and back to their families. Reporter theres action to protect American Forces in the region in eastern syria. President biden sent a written notification to congress, quote, are directed strikes to protect and defend our personnel, degrade and disrupt the ongoing series of attacks against the United States and our partners, the challenge for the Commander In Chief is avoiding escalation. Jackie thanks. Griff we are joined by a member of the house transportation committee, thank you for taking time. We are talking about President Biden stepped back, what is your assessment, will we have more . Reporter the president upholding his obligation as commanderinchief to protect us forces wherever they are deployed. The Precision Strike on the munitions depot, its a calibrated one, signaling the iranians we will retaliate to retain deterrence on behalf of us troops deployed to iraqi and elsewhere. We do not want a water conflagration. Our focus in the region is israel. It seeks to destroy hamas and reestablish military deterrence. That the United States priority. Griff you met with families of hostages in washington, must have been an emotional conversation to have. It comes as we saw see the idea of expanding with some of those grief stricken families of the hostages. The idf pushing him with this Ground Operation. This is what we thought was coming, it is here now and there are because getting louder for a ceasefire. What do you make of it . The terror of those hostages, young enough to be scared of the dark, grief of the families is unimaginable. The Israeli Defense needs latitude in the bounds of the law of Armed Conflict to rescue those hostages, thats their First Priority, my First Priority as a member of congress in support of israel and we need to pursue every avenue to get them home. That means humanitarian cause for negotiations between qatar and hamas. Thats appropriate as well. Number one is getting the hostages home. Griff weve seen these protests, covering the situation of jewish students in cooper union, had to barricade themselves because of a palestinian mob that threatened them. On social media saying this is unacceptable. We see them getting more aggressive. Antiisrael, many elements inside that are grossly antisemitic. University administrations and faculty across the country, not just there but my own alma mater missed the moral moment by failing to condemn hamas and instead both sides the issue. That laid the groundwork for subsequent failure to enforce appropriate behavior among their student body. Universities are supposed to be places of free expression, vigorous debate. They lost some of that in recent years. I support the continued pursuit. To maintain a welcoming canvas environment, they are failing in that obligation and need to be subject to strong sweeping title vi investigations under the department of education. Griff a lot of calls that rights are being violated. Let me ask you about other folks missing, the moral clarity on this and your own colleagues, Rashida Tlaib posting to social media in the immediate aftermath of the Gaza Hospital Incident that, is israel to blame . Continuing to double down saying perpetuating falsehood that it wasnt a failed Islamic Jihad, the view supported by assay member of congress happens to be a democrat going against the countrys own intelligence assessment, in my opinion, somewhat gas lighting what we are seeing in these protests. Thats an outlier position. The democratic position is articulated by the leader of the democratic party, joe biden, he has joined the ranks. Truman an american president s meeting israels critical needs in a moment of great vulnerable do. Joe biden just flew into a war zone to stand shoulder to shoulder with israel and if we are looking which party stands where, lets talk about donald trump, dining with a neonazi who called both sides of the charlottesville rally find people. No debate here. Griff i want to talk about Rashida Tlaib, calls for her to face repercussion, possibly censure, should she faced some consequence . No. Congresswoman tlaib may express her opinions forcefully and i have every right and response ability to contest them. Thats how america works, how congress is meant to work, we wont cancel voices left or right. Griff thank you for your time. Have a great weekend. Jackie the Manhunt Ending after suspected mass shooter robert card was found dead near a river. The search began after 18 people were killed across two locations wednesday. Nate foy is live with the latest on this story. Reporter after 48 long hours, the Healing Process can begin. We are learning more how authorities found robert cards body. It happened at a Recycling Facility behind the, he was found in an unlocked box trailer with two guns. Is believed he killed himself. We dont know the exact timing. That will come back when the autopsy is complete. Take a look, he was found with two guns in an unlocked box trailer a mile from where they found his white subaru that had a rifle in it. The Bowling Alley and bar where police say he carried out wednesdays Mass Shooting are within 10 miles of here, authorities revealed card was never forcibly committed for Mental Health treatment. He is an Army Reservist recommended for treatment after a Mental Health and alcohol related incident at west point training in july. He left a note for his loved one before the attack. Authorities explained what was in that note. Listen here. I wouldnt describe it as an explicit suicide note but the tone and the tenor was the individual was not going to be around and wanted to make sure this loved one had access to whatever was in his phone. It is a note to a loved one saying this is the passcode for my phone, the bank account numbers. Reporter say that again . Here are the 18 people murdered in wednesday nights attack, 13 people injured as well. As for the motive, officials today believe paranoia played a big role. They believe card thought people were talking negatively about him. Jackie there was a lot of talk about the role Mental Health played in this was what does that tell you about the investigation or legislative efforts . I understand there was also a distinction between the yellow flag law versus the red flag law. We talked about that a little bit. Reporter the yellow flag law essentially allows the family to initiate the process where temporarily guns could be removed from an individual deemed to be a threat to himself or to others but what seems to be important here is card never received Mental Health treatment, was recommended for an evaluation but didnt meet the threshold where he would have popped out on a background check, he was able to purchase his firearms. As for trumps next, we have to wait and see on that. Someone who flipped on gun control, we have seen this time and again where after Mass Shootings politicians on both sides debate this issue. We will see what comes of that. Mental health, a large role in this shooting for sure. Jackie you reported on the manhunt in pennsylvania. Elite team of folks, federal government to assist in a search like that. Can you distinguish how it felt on the ground after resources came in or did it feel different on the ground . Reporter there were a lot of similarities. With all the federal help the came in and Border Patrol tactical unit, specifically really good in difficult terrain. We saw that play out when they perform delay in, mainthe is very rural. The cooperation from state, local, federal authorities. The difference was you do or people were confident that he was not going to kill himself. There was more speculation particularly when a reports emerged about this note, authorities would not confirm it was a suicide note. They are not calling it a suicide note. It contains the passcode to his phone and bank account information. That information was not revealed. It was difficult to know how this would end. No one had a way of knowing that but he was in prison for murder and previously committed a murder in brazil whereas this man seemed his Mental Health went off a cliff in the past year. The possibility for suicide appeared more likely but as far as how the authorities respond to this, they cant assume this guy is dead. He is an active threat to the community until they prove otherwise. They could do everything they could to keep everyone safe. From going to get lunch, everyone is grateful that this came to a close with no one else getting injured but theres so much sadness, 18 people murdered, 13 killed, the worst Mass Shooting in maines history. Jackie the threat is no longer there, the healing can start. Griff Proxy Fighters struck back after us jets bombed multiple iranian linked positions in syria.
