♪ good evening, he i'm bret baier, we have exclusive interview with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. that is coming up shortly on this show. first, the white house says israel has agreed to daily breaks in the fighting with hamas. they would be in four hour wind co-s announced three hours in advance. hamas would release some of its hostages in exchange, some of them israeli forces are pounding gaza city as ground trips battle in dense, urban neighborhoods and inside tunnels. senior correspondent mike tobin is in southern israel again tonight with the latest. good evening, mike. >> good evening, bret. the situation with the hostages fluid and from aville. with talks underway to potentially free others, israel maintains deadly pressure on gaza. [gunfire. >> a massive early evening series of air pulverizes in the northeast gaza strip. talks in qatar releasing hostages conditioned on a cease-fire. >> we are doing everything to win this war and we will win this war. >> palestinians in the tens of thousands cling to belongings and travel however they can to flee the combat. >> what do you think behind us. destruction and death. their exodus protected by a promise, backed by the u.s. for a four hour daily pause in the fighting. >> we have been told by the israelis that there will be no military operations in these areas over-the-duration of the pause. and that this process is starting today. >> also at the urging of americans, israel relaxed the siege, allowing aid trucks to enter from egypt. food, water and medicine and for the first time, the possibility of fuel. >> people will see this hamas will use israeli troops in armor have been inside the gaza strip for almost two weeks. israel says they have killed over 150 gunmen and taken over what they call the military corridor of hamas, complete with tunnels and weapons stores in a school room. troops and another section of will northern gaza claim they found a stash of weapons and drones in a residential building next to a girl's bedroom. proof they say that hamas uses innocence as human shields. hamas no longer exists targeted by a missile intercepted by defenses, hit by a drone that got through those defenses. fired by iran backed houthis in yemen, clarify where the attacks today originated. mike tobin in southern israel, thank you. >> bret: joining us now to talk about the war's prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel. mr. prime minister, thank you for the time. >> thank you, good to be with you, bret inside gaza inside and around gaza city, where do you see this at this hour? >> i think the israeli army is performing exceptionally well. it's fighting the terrorists above and below ground. doing everything in our power to reduce civilian casualties. we have managed safe zones, safe corridors so civilians can heed our call to lead, even though hamas is trying to keep them in. i think t war is proceeding wel. we are going to continue until reeradicate hamas. nothing will stop that we are absolutely committed to victory, which is not only our victory, but it's the victory of the entire civilized world against barbarism. do you still believe sinwar is underneath gaza city? >> it's there but we will get there. >> to get those leaders, how long do you envision this being? will it be an occupation of gaza for months and months. we don't seek to govern gaza. we don't seek to occupy it. we seek to give it and us a better future and the entire middle east. that requires defeating hamas. i have set goals. i didn't set a timetable because it can take more time. i wish it would take little time. we are proceeding step why step. we do trying to reduce and minimize civilian casualties and maximize hamas terrorists and so far i think it's proceeding well fought isis i don't think it will take us that long by any stretch of the imagination. however long it takes we will do it because our future the future of the neighbors palestinians, the future of the world, i think is related to wins. axis of terror of iran, hezbollah, hamas, the houthis. do they win? who do the forces of process israel, the modern arab states, too we win? it's posh that we win. history has shown it doesn't necessarily favor the good guys over the bad guys. if the bad guys have more will, more resolve, more staying power than they win. they can cast the middle east and world into another period of dark ages. that's what they want. we don't want it. so we have the perseverance, the will and the resolve to win however long it takes but i assure you we will try to make it as short as we can. >> speaking of the united states, how firm has the push been by president biden, his administration for these humanitarian pauses and what have you agreed to? one thing we haven't agreed to is a cease-fire. is cease-fire with rams surrender to terror, the victory of the iran's axis of terror. >> there won't be a cease-fire without the release of the israeli hostages. that's not going to happen. but we have agreed and have done already safe corridors, you knows two days ago, 50,000 people passed from gaza city down to the south, the safe zone, in a safe corridor. today, i think another 70,000 have passed. that's very important. because we want to get the civilians out of harm's way while hamas is trying to stop them two. days ago it actually fired upon the safe passage did r. to prevent from leaving not only do they murder and mutilate. burn children alive. take hostages, toddlers, babies, elderly, holocaust survivors. the worst savagery perpetrated on the jewish people since the holocaust, not only do they do that, but they actually target their own civilians. that is they want to keep their civilians as a human shield so, obviously, it's a tough enemy. but i think we can overcome it specifically the' talked about four hour pause numerous times. is that true that is going to be some stoppage? >> no, the fighting continues against the hamas enemy, the hamas terrorist in specific locations we want to facilitate away from the zone of fighting and we're doing that in fact we did one today. we did one yesterday, i assume we will do one tomorrow, because our goal isn't to fight the palestinian civilians, it's to fight the hamas terrorists we make a distinction between the two. they don't. >> bret: what about what the president has been saying publicly and privately to you? this is what he said today. >> mr. president are you frustrated with prime minister netanyahu that he has not listened more to some of the things you have asked him to do? >> taking a little locker than i hoped. >> bret: what about that? taken longer than i had hoped. battle conditions on the ground. safety of our own forces. the hostages that he wont to get out. and the humanitarian corridors we want to effect which, as i said, hamas is preventing by using its own fire gunpoint, presenting palestinian civilians from leading. i think it's taking a little while. think we share a common goal and i very much appreciate the support that the president biden has shown, the administration has shown. and, frankly the american people have shown and the congress has shown on both sides of the aisle. that's very, very important. that support, the american support and president biden's support is deeply, deeply appreciated. >> speaking of congress, we just had a congresswoman from michigan censured by the house of representatives. congresswoman rashida tlaib for using and posting from the river to the sea. this was her explanation of that. >> many people in this movement for human rights for palestinians have always centered around co-existence. you hear them calling for that, saying that no matter your faith, your ethnicity, your background, you should be able to live without fear, without discrimination, without this kind of inequality that netanyahu's extremist party and his leadership has been pushing. so, for many of my colleagues, they know and deep in their hearts where my heart is. >> when you hear from the river to the sea, what do you think, one, and, two, are you surprised by all the pushback not just in the united states with these protests but around the world? >> from the river to the sea means there is no israel from the jordan river to the mediterranean to the tiny area, by the way, that encompasses israel, there is no israel. what this congresswoman is calling for is homicide and genocide. auto the elimination of the jewish state, the one and only jewish state of the jewish people. now, that's absurd and i salute the congress for censuring her. it's beyond that i think the protests that you are seeing, i'm sure it includes some naive people a lot of people know what they are saying. therefore i said hamas is isis, but the german chancellor said, no, they are worst. they are the nazis, the new n nazis president biden said they are worst than nazis. lining up with isis, quaid, baby murderers and rapists and mutilators head choppers, this is what they are aligning themselves with. we have to protect not only our lives but our future can our world survive people go and with such moral confusion and, in fact, moral depravity, support these killers, these murderers. and i think it's very important that there was censured indictment. people educated cannot distinguish right from wrong. hamas is evil and we have to defeat evil, not protest and demonstrate on behalf of evil. >> bret: there are leaders in your region who are concerned that you are going to go into gaza and stay and possibly displace either palestinians there or in the west bank. here is some of them. >> any appearance or circumstances that would result in either mass displacement or short-term displacement of palestinians in gaza, or the west bank, or the surroundings in any direction outside the borders of gaza or the west bank, is a red line. it means, among other things, a declaration of a state of war. >> pushing a million people from their home and concentrating them. >> what do you say to those leaders, and those what the future looks like. >> the gaza -- northern part of the gaza strip. few, actually a mile or two, three miles, four miles, down to the south of the gaza strip, where we have established a safe zone. we want to see field hospitals, we're encouraging and providing, enabling humanitarian help to go there. that's how we are fighting this war let me ask you this. i think it's clear what gaza's future has to look like. at the end of this battle, hamas will be gone. we will destroy hamas. we need to for not only for our sake but really for the sake of everyone, for the sake of civilization. for the sake of palestinians and israelis alike. what we have to see is gaza demilitarized, deradicalized. and rebuilt. and it could -- all of that can be achieved. we don't seek to conquer gaza. we don't seek to occupy gaza, and we don't seek to govern gaza we have to find a government, in the foreseeable future we have milk sure this doesn't happen again that what will what will re -- what i expect to see is a rebuilt gaza on or about the gaza. >> bret: mr. prime minister last thing, its would 50 days ago i came from from saudi arabia after interviewing the crowned prince there i interviewed you on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly. here is just a clip of glavment so you think if you were to characterize it, are you close? >> evan day we get closer it. seems for the first time everyone is serious. we have to know how it goes. what was your response? to borrow a phrase. i think we are getting closer to peace every day hard to believe 50 days ago. how much the world has changed. what do you say to people who look at that and say that is completely abandoned and is never going to happen again? i think there is a test. forces of medieval and want to take us back to the dark ages. we are committed and resolved. absolutely sure of our capacity to achieve this victory, which is not only our victory but it's your victory, too bret. it's america's victory. the modern arab state's victory, it's the victory of humanity, i think once we achieve that. that promise of peace that we first branched out in the abraham accords and we bore to expand further peace between israel and saudi arabia i think it will be a reality. i think conditions will be right. in fact, after our victory, think they will be even riper. >> bret: we appreciate your time during this wash. >> thank you, bret. >> bret: up next, a veteran democratic senator says he has had enough but is he thinking about a third party run for president? plus, what the white house is saying about the israeli humanitarian pauses and the president's poor pulling on his handling of the conflict. amily and that they love you. our goal with tiktok was to enrich the lives of our residents and just to be able to show people what senior living can be like. i think i am a tiktok grandma. my kids think i am. i mean, we're the ones that are being entertained. time goes faster when you're having fun. hey, grab more delectables. you know, that lickable cat treat? de-lick-able delectables? yes, just hurry. hmm. it must be delicious. delectables lickable treat. israel is under attack and jewish families are in danger. israel's enemies seek our destruction. the people of israel need immediate help. rockets have us squarely in the crosshairs. our people are targets in their own homes. many have lost everything and fear for their lives. the international fellowship of christians and jews has launched an urgent response to rescue those affected by this violent attack. our teams are on the ground across israel delivering lifesaving aid. your urgently needed gift of only $45 will help rush food, water, medicine and emergency supplies for jewish families that have nowhere to turn. time is literally running out. what we need you to do is to act now. >> higher bond yields drove markets down today. the dow lost 25. the nasdaq fell 12 #. house oversight chairman james comer is issuing additional subpoenas for hunter biden's business associates. today's list includes his art dealers and individuals more than $200,000 in alleged loans. james biden repaid in 2017 and 2018, yesterday, comer came up for subpoenas for hunter biden, james biden, and a business associate. he says he did request that status. he says he did not interpret the decision not to grant that request as a denial, quote, in any way, shape, or form. one of the top democrats in the senate says he will not seek re-election. west virginia's joe manchin has been mentioned as a possible third party presidential candidate and hinted about that today in his announcement. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is on capitol hill tonight with the latest on this. good evening, chad. >> bret, good evening. joe manchin faced, perhaps, the most daunting re-election bid of any senate democrat in 2024. the national senate map already favors the g.o.p., his exit means it's hard for democrats to hold that seat and the senate. >> what i will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there's an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring americans together. >> manchin's statement only fuels speculation that he could run for president. >> if we can have a movement to bring people back, showing there is tremendous support, centrist middle, where you make common sense decisions, for the country to be more comfortable. >> manchin deployed his status as a centrist to track left wing policy goals. he single-handedly killed a major domestic spending package in 2021. manchin was key to passing the touch stone of president biden's agenda, the inflation reduction act. not part of this calculus. >> . west virginia democrats must also defend seats in red states like ohio and montana with sherrod brown and jon tester. bret, we just got a statement here from president biden. he says, quote, he is proud of joe manchin. back to you. >> bret: chad pergram live on the hill. thanks. the white house is calling it a victory today with president biden with the announcement that israel has agreed to a series of pauses in its fighting with hamas. you heard, however, the specifics of that from the israeli prime minister earlier in the show, pauses are around corridors to get people out. and you heard how he phrased it. this comes as president biden deals with sinking poll numbers and calls for a more vigorous response to attacks on u.s. forces in the middle east. white house correspondent jacqui heinrich has details. >> a new a.p. poll shows 63% of americans disapprove of president biden's handling of israel's war against hamas, including half of democrats. his overall job performance is also underwater. only 38% approving. fog other polls this week showing biden trailing trump in five swing states, biden is shrugging it off. >> why do you think it is you are trailing trump in all these swing state polls. >> because you don't read the polls [inaudible] 8 of them i'm beating him in those states. 8 of them. you guys only do two. cnn and "new york times." check it out. check it out. we will get you a copy. >> the president confirmed today he pushed israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for a three-day pause to get hostages out. >> yeah. actually no longer pause. >> not explaining what he meant by an even longer pause but maintaining the u.s. does not support a general cease-fire. >> no possibility. >> something palestinian protesters continue to call for. today, interrupting biden's remarks on union jobs in illinois. >> for a long time. [shouting] >> you need to call for a cease-fire in gaza. >> meantime, the president reserving the right to hit iran-backed proxy forces again if attacks on u.s. troops in the middle east continue. but not weighing in on whether the two retaliatory strikes he has ordered so far are sufficient. >> they are working in the sense that [inaudible] >> as critics pressure biden to hit iran directly. >> 40-plus strikes that attacking americans and we go after a munitions dump. >> and officials here maintain that the strikes biden ordered did have an impact because we have not seen another actor jump in to help hamas attack israel, bret. >> bret: jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn. jacqui, thank you. up next strike inside syria and attacks on facilities housing u.s. troops. we will take tout pentagon. plus, how lawmakers are looking to fight anti-semitism on college campuses. >> i will do everything in my power to protect our jewish students. >> there's no excuse for that kind of violence at any school against any student. >> bret: breaking tonight, there have been four new attacks against facilities where troops are based in the middle east since yesterday. four new attacks. tonight, we have new video of wednesday's u.s. strike on a targeted syria. but administration critics say the president's one word to iran, "don't." is not working. chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin has the latest tonight from the pentagon. good evening, jennifer. >> good evening, bret. we just received this new video from the pentagon of last night's airstrike against an iranian target in syria. it shows the two uss 15 fighter jets bombing a weapons storage used by the irgc. unfortunately iran and its proxies don't seem to be getting the u.s. message of deterrence. there have been four new attacks on u.s. bases since then. three in syria and a fourth in iraq. three u.s. troops received minor injuries at green village in syria last night from a multi rocket attack following the u.s. airstrike. and today in iraq, u.s. troops valving in an armored personnel carrier hit a rom and ied near mosul. pentagon deputy press secretary sabrina singh says there are now 56 u.s. service members who have reported injuries since october 17th. half of them traumatic. forces troop members. have been diagnosed with dbi. the other additional injuries are very minor. i mean, we are tracking like headache, rolled ankle, cuts. but, that is it. all have returned to duty. >> the u.s. has not responded yet to the downing of a u.s. nq 9 reaper drone yesterday off the coast of yemen by iranian-backed houthis. bret?

>> bret: rich, thank you. there are increasing concerns tonight about how foreign donations could be buying influence at american colleges and universities. fox business correspondent hillary vaughn is on capitol hill tonight to tell us about an effort to get control of that situation. good evening, hillary. >> good evening, bret. house republicans want to expel foreign influence from america's colleges and university and that means cracking down on cash coming in from our adversaries. >> it would not shock me to learn that other foreign regimes are using this money to corrupt colleges and influence students. some of our most elite institutions have become cesspools of anti-semitism. >> a new bill spearheaded by republicans would make colleges turn in a financial report card detailing any cash they accept from countries of concern. and lower the minimum reporting requirement for all foreign donations down to 50,000. accord to go ahead one report between 1986 and 2021, the three countries that poured the most money into higher education institutes in the u.s. are qatar, giving more than 4 billion. saudi arabia contributing more than 2 billion. and the united arab emirates shelling out just over $1 billion. the three universities that cashed in on the most donations from arab countries, cornell university, georgetown university, and carnegie melon. even though some democrats also want to crack down on any foreign influence at u.s. universities, the top democrat on the house education and workforce committee says this isn't the right approach. >> earlier this year our approach to confronting foreign influence in our academic institutions must be like a scalpel rather than a sledge hammer. >> but what republicans really want is a weed whacker to root out what they call anti-american sentiment infecting college campuses and they think cracking down on cash donations is a start. bret?

safe corridor. that's very important because we want to get the civilians out of harm's way while hamas is trying to stop them. two days ago it actually fired upon the safe passage to prevent palestinian civiliaians from leaving. that's the millimeter enemy we are dealing with. >> bret: israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu earlier in this show talking about what they have agreed to. the safe passages and specific pauses, however, the fighting, he said, continues. let's bring in our panel, ben domenech host of the ben domenech podcast on fox news radio. kimberley strassel and fox news senior political analyst juan williams. kimberly, what did you take from the interview. >> look, i think two important things, bret. one is netanyahu's commitment to that safe passage we are talking about. look, israel has been warning gazans to move to the south part of the strip since they first announced that they were going to do this. and this is also making clear that this is a priority for them. but, what i also loved about it, bret, his talking about the future and really making clear that it is not israel's intention to occupy gaza, to run it, to take over it. that's been pretty clear from israel's perspective from the beginning. but he is already looking to the future, talking about the need for a civilian government there, one that can coexist peacefully alongside israel. i think that ought to put some fears that you keep hearing in the press to rest. >> bret: i do think that was part of this interview and the messaging that he was trying to get across. here is another piece of the interview where he talks about the normalization that had been talked about with saudi arabia. >> we're committed and resolved, absolutely sure of our capacity to achieve this victory. i think once we achieve that, that promise of peace that we first branched out in the abraham accords and we were about to expand further the peace between israel and saudi arabia, i think it will be a reality. i think conditions will be ripe. in fact, after our victory, i think they will be even riper. >> you know, ben, how saudi arabia plays in this and how the other arab countries play in this as a solution, i think that's what he is hinting at. what did you take out of this? >> i think he is trying to send a message right now to calm a lot of people. i completely agree with what kimberly said. i think the point of this interview was to kind of tap the brakes on a number of concerns that have been raised in western media and around the world regarding the future here and what the scenario looks like going forward. he very much wants to keep a potential deal with saudi arabia alive. resolution have confidence in israel's security but also move forward in something that was viewed as absolutely critical before. and i think taking on even greater importance after what happened given the hamas hamilton attack. juan, a.p. poll 63% of americans disapprove 6 president biden's handling of israel-palestinian conflict. 34 approve. 63 disapprove. they were trying to characterize this as a victory, this four-hour pause, he talked about the corridors getting people out. your thoughts on the interview? >> >> you know, in regard to that, you played a bite from president biden saying it taking a little longer and prime minister to respond yeah it is taking a little longer. he wishes it was able to be done in a more, concise way, too. but he has got to fight hamas. and i think he said, you know, again, he is very much appreciative of what biden has done. when you look at those numbers, though, i think what you are seeing is there are a lot of democrats and you referenced the march in midtown manhattan as we are here tonight, there are lots of people who have points of opposition in the democratic party ranks. and i think you are gonna see some of that disapproval reflected in the polls. what you have got to understand, i think you asked the prime minister about rashida tlaib and the censure, you have got to understand the power of the word, you know, everybody can speak out in our country. there is no law against hate speech. if you know that history, and you know what it means to say from the river to the sea, from the jordan to the mediterranean, you understand it means the erasure of israel. that's why you have to understand the earlier effort to censure her and her right to speak as an american went nowhere with democrats. this one where she used that phrase, bret, i think it raised lots of concern for people of good spirit, who say, you know, you can't just talk about something like that in this moment, doing away with israel, using plo style rhetoric and not expect that people would have a reaction. his reaction to protest, i think was interesting as well. that whole part there. i want to turn to domestic politics now. and kind of a surprise announcement today, kimberly. whwhat i will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring americans together. >> bret: senator manchin making that announcement saying he is going to go around the country. sounds like he is doing it kind of, you know, seeing what the waters look like for a possible third party run. >> yeah. so was it totally a surprise, bret? the guy has been a punching bag for the democratic party pretty much since joe biden was elected. he is facing a very uphill climb for re-election in west virginia. and i think he is leaving people guessing here saying, you know, some of us are wondering, we heard this announcement was coming, was it going to be this. maybe was he going to switch parties? i think he is still leaving people guessing, leaving out the possibility of a no labels run. leaving out the possibility he could run as a democrat against the president. that is very much joe manchin's style. but, so while he may be out there this west virginia race, i would not go so far as to think he is out of politics all together. >> bret: yeah. there is an effort tonight, romney, manchin effort online. the former president, however, has weighed in on this whole thing. truth social. because i endorsed big jim justice for west virginia for the u.s. senate and he has taken a commanding lead democrat joe manchin has decided not to seek re-election. looking good for big jim. ben, it is looking good and it is looking a little bleaker for democrats holding onto the senate. >> yes. it was already going to be a very tough cycle just given the math at play. look, what joe manchin is doing right now, i think, is announcing essentially a quote, unquote, listening tour in that old fashioned way. but i truly believe, i have been saying it on my podcast now for more than a year, that i believe he will be running as a third party candidate going in to november of 2024. which means that all of these polling, you know, efforts that we have gotten so far out from that election could end up being roiled by his presence on the ballot and who he takes away from critical in terms of who ultimately wins. >> bret: this is some kind of election. we will follow every step. thank you, guys. ♪ >> bret: finally tonight, today's throwback. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >> bret: that speech was made in june of 1987. however, 34 years ago today, november 9th, 1989, that call from president reagan actually happened. east germany opened the berlin wall, allowed travel east to west. that night germans celebrated by knocking down the wall themselves brick by brick. it was built in 1961 during the cold war it. separated the soviet controlled east and the democratic west. and the cold war came to an end. east german declared that citizens were free to cross. tomorrow on "special report," we have got it all. for cases against violence against jews and muslims, remember, if you can't catch us live, set your dvr 6:00 p.m. in the east, 3:00 p.m. on the west
