summit, and meeting with xi, the white house likely to face questions what to expect with u.s. and china relations at a tipping point like we have seen over the last several months. and talk about what you have been mentioning at the top of the last hour, the attacks on u.s. and coalition forces across the middle east. now more than 50 attacks. u.s. launching a fresh round of airstrikes overnight, trying to target some of the iranian proxies that have been carrying out the attacks. at least six fighters were killed on the missile strikes, and so far no reports of any injuries to any of those u.s. service members who were carrying out the attack or the attacks the iranian groups fired. a tit for tat, as for president biden, he has not spoken to reporters today. he got back to the white house a little earlier today to welcome the las vegas hockey team in the east room, but also an event later this afternoon with the president of indonesia. see if the president weighs in not only the latest developments in the middle east but what he hopes to accomplish with xi jinping later this week. john. >> john: mark meredith for us, thank you. >> gillian: fighting between israeli troops and hamas militants is nearing gaza's largest hospital, causing thousands of people to evacuate and flee. this comes as hostilities between israel and hezbollah forces in lebanon reached new heights over the weekend. jeff paul joins us from southern israel. what's the latest on the ground? >> gillian, five weeks into the war, and fighting is going late into the night. in southern israel, we hear the loud outgoing artillery, and a short while ago, yet again more rockets fired from gaza into central and southern israel. intensified fighting is making life more difficult for the folks who call gaza home. united nations relief and works agency says a breakdown civil order, adding that people are in survival mode trying to get the basics to survive. estimated two-thirds of gaza's 2.3 million have fled their homes since the start of the war. and the hamas-controlled health ministry says more than 11,000 palestinians have been hit. the al-shifa hospital, says the largest hospital has been without power for several days. idf says they have tried to evacuate babies from the neonate ward and attempted to deliver fuel but hamas would not allow the help. the israeli prime minister gave an update saying the fighting won't end until the hostages are free and hamas is no longer a threat. an we are going to win. there are no stops here. there are no halfway here. this is not an operation. this is not a round. we are going here until the total win. >> area to keep an eye on is northern israel. we have seen a back and forth between hezbollah and israeli forces. the defense minister here in israel warning lebanon that what they are doing right now in gaza, they know how to do in beirut. gillian. >> gillian: jeff paul on the ground in southern israel. thank you. >> john: threats of a widening war in the middle east are growing. israeli forces have also moved deeper into gaza, surrounding its biggest hospital, al-shifa with troops and tanks. u.s. is actively engaged in retaliatory strikes on iranian proxy groups, latest attacks killed several militants in syria. but is it enough to get iran to stop? let's bring in defense priority senior fellow and military expert, retired lieutenant colonel dan davis. still in response to the strike over the weekend, proxies mustache launched four more attacks against u.s. bases, including one in which 17 missiles were fired. biden may be sending a message but the iranian proxies and iran at large ain't getting the message. >> yeah. i think they are laughing at the message. we have to be honest. there is no intent for these groups to stop attacking americans. why i keep beating the drums on fox news here every time i come on that we need to get those troops out of there. because being in iraq and in syria, all they are doing is being a point of strategic vulnerability to say. they are it issing in the -- sitting in the desert waiting until it finally kills an american and then pressure on the president to expand greater his response, into iran itself, and a chance of escalating the war higher. iran will do something in retaliation before that. so, these are not going to deter them, the very small pinprick, they need to get the troops out of harm's way. >> john: as far as banging the drum, call you john bonham, but keith is banging the drum as well. something on "fox & friends" and then john kirby's response in the last hour. >> it's not comprehensive enough just dealing with the proxies themselves. what am i talking about? go after the leaders, after the fighters, after the rockets, missiles, drones, logistical infrastructure, do it all at once in one night. that's well within u.s. strike capability. no risk to a single pilot in doing that. that i think may get their attention. >> go after targets we believe are going to have an opportunity here degrade the irgc ability to resource and fund and provide material to these groups and those targets that we hit over the weekend do exactly that. training facility, headquarters facility, we know in one of them, one of them they were using it to store weapons. >> john: i followed up with kirby after that, and said but it has not stopped them from doing it. so, they may be degrading their capabilities, but certainly not bending their will. >> it's not degrading anything. it's not like they are going to the warehouse, they have things spread out throughout the region. plenty of places to get ammunition and weapons from. this won't do anything. small scale. but i have to say, i take definite issue with general keane. sorry, i got to say, because what he is suggesting has a much higher probability of causing an escalation of the war, not a diminution of the war. we don't want a wider war. so they know they can continue doing this because they do want a wider war. they do want something that can cause the united states to come in, not too big, they don't think we are going to get sucked into a full war, because biden said he doesn't want that but something like what keen says, that will explode the area against the west and against israel. it's not in our favor or in our interest in to risk a wider war and just keeping our troops is going to get somebody killed pointlessly. >> john: in terms of a wider war, who would be involveded in a wider war? saudi arabia doesn't want anything to do with a wider war, they have been shooting down tom houthi missiles, they are sitting on the sidelines because they have to, but they are just waiting for hamas to be decapitated and then back in negotiations with israel on the abraham accords. jordan doesn't want to get in the war, israel, uae, qatar, bahrain, talking about iran, syria, lebanon, but shouldn't the u.s. be able to, as ronald reagan did, as donald trump did, say to them in iran we are going to hit you and hit you hard. reagan attacked oil platforms and irgc bases, can't they say to iran, you want no part of this, call your dogs off? >> that's what we would like the case, john. but reagan is a great example. he pulled our troops out of lebanon instead of expanding into it. but you do have syria, you do have hezbollah, these are big problems right now. it could be a huge problem for israel and to write them off i think is not doing israel any favors. you don't know where it's going. >> john: they'll only go if iran says go and tell iran, it's serious consequences for you if you pull that trigger, they may not pull that trigger. >> that assumes that's not what iran wants, that they don't want to expand it and i think they do want to have a limited expansion, because that helps their side. >> john: great to talk to you. thank you so much. >> gillian: back to the state department now where spokesman matt miller has been fielding questions as israeli forces encroach upon gaza's largest hospital, al-shifa. >> lay out our general principles but i'm thousands of miles away from israel. we get conflicting information, conflicting information and press reports, conflicting information from people on the ground. it is difficult to pass definitive judgment about what has happened or should happen, i'll decline beyond what our principles are with civilian protections. >> just wanted to follow up the civilian casualties and one more. you said you have been calling on israel for quite a long time to minimize harm to civilians. i wanted to make sure, do you really think that israel is doing everything it can to minimize harm to civilians and what are the other steps that israel can take. >> we do as i said think there are additional steps to take. what they are, we have had very direct conversations with them about that, i will keep the conversations private. >> one more, please. islamic summit in saudi arabia this weekend, erdogan said the israeli minister remarks about nuclear strike on gaza revealed the existence of israel's nuclear weapons and called on an international investigation on that. what is the u.s. position on the call for international investigation and is the u.s. aware of any potential nuclear weapons owned by israel? >> i don't have any comment on an investigation or the underlying question. i will say the remarks by that minister were completely unacceptable and we are glad they were immediately reputiated by the prime minister. >> internal dissent memo saying there is misinformation, you will not comment on the actual memo, but you have protestors yelling shame at employees as they walk out the building saying quit your job. how is morale inside this building and how is it affected by all of the noise around it? >> so i would say that the state department, like every organization, not just in government, but around the world, contains people with a diversity of views and one of the things we think is one of our strengths, you've heard me talk to this, and the second talk to this at times. one of the strengths is we have the diversity of views and welcome people to make the views known. secretary has met with a number of people from all ranks of the department, different bureaus in the department, to hear what they think about our policy, both with respect to israel and conflict with hamas and other matters, including very controversial matters and he encourages people to provide feedback. encourages people to speak up if they disagree. it doesn't mean we are going to change our policy based on the disagreements, he's going to take recommendations and make what he thinks is the best judgment and make his recommendations to the president about what we ought to do. so, i would just say that it goes to this question of morale, we see the diversity of opinions as a source of strength of this department, not weakness. >> i'm working for weekly bangladeshi, and publication called we are the people. as you know, bangladesh, another hot place like gaza, it will become gaza strip very soon if free and fair election is not going to take place. bangladesh is a sovereign country, 95% of the people are in favor of democracy and free, fair, participatory election. citizens of bangladesh optimistic once american starts playing a role concerning human rights and democratic process. all major political parties are working with his excellency,. why must the u.s. government discuss the bangladesh issue with india? does it not indicate our country has been sold to india by the current regime of bangladesh. does -- >> let me -- >> conquerors. >> john: we are going to jump out, jake sullivan, national security adviser is going to be briefing at the white house a little bit later this afternoon. that briefing has been pushed back some. >> gillian: a couple of times. we'll take you there as soon as it starts. >> john: alan carr is here, he's here in town for tomorrow's march for israel in washington, d.c. . >> couple of protests, outside the president's home in delaware over the weekend. increased anti-israel protests around the country, many of them laced literally top to bottom with antisemitism. hundreds of people again protesting here in delaware. now, let's flip the script and take a look at what happened in paris over the weekend. almost 180,000 people took to the streets of paris to protest not against israel, but against antisemitism. so, here in the united states we have this horrible raise in antisemitism and in paris, they are marching against antisemitism. why the difference? >> well, john, gillian, thanks for having me. all of us need to be marching against antisemitism because jew hatred is a barometer for societal decay and evil of all kinds and what we see in the world today is shocking. a genocide perpetrated against jews in the jewish homeland, jewish state around the world people standing up and supporting it. who have imagined the cruelty and the sadism and israel fighting for its life and people supporting it, this andsy semitism here and simple. it means the jews have no right to be in israel, in new york, los angeles, or any campus in the country and i was at u.c. berkeley speaking and jewish students are afraid of what's happening on campus. they are bullied and some cases assaulted. >> john: it's not just berkeley, cornell, columbia. >> columbia, harvard, across the country. the protest in paris was so important and happening here in washington in our capital tomorrow is so deeply important. >> gillian: columbia, thinking while listening to you talk. it's my alma mater, columbia. i wouldn't set foot on campus during one of the protests we have seen today. i graduated 15 years ago, i never experienced antisemitism for a moment during the four years that i was a student there. not a moment. things -- the tide turned so quickly what it illustrates. >> it is, and the tide turned even more dramatically since october 7th, right. and think of what that implies. here jews butchered in numbers not since the holocaust and this encourages antisemitism? now people say let's finish the job, calling for israel to be wiped off the map, harassing jewish students, shoving them, bullying, some cases, assaulting them, cornell threatening to kill them. this is absolutely appalling and this march tomorrow in washington is yes, it's about supporting israel, yes, it's about allowing israel to finish the job and eliminate the threats against it. make no mistake march, and the largest gathering jews and pro-israel americans, also about fighting antisemitism here and saying enough is enough. >> john: i was wondering if in paris, maybe the reason why there was so big protests against antisemitism is because the holocaust for them may be a little bit more close to home because it happened there, than it is folks here in the united states. but think ok, it should be the same in britain, right. but it's not. listen to what some of these protestors at an anti-israel pro-palestinian march in london said. >> continued existence of israel is a war crime. >> hamas invaded israel the 7th of october. what was your initial reaction. >> i didn't think they did, did they? >> i think so. honestly, i think i need to be a bit more clued up on everything that's going on. >> john: a couple people didn't know why they were marching and another says the very existence of israel is a war crime. >> actually, that is a very, very important quote you just played for us because that's what this is really about. >> john: the people with no clue or completely wrong? >> to many have no clue but very, very many people who believe jews have no place. antisemitism, delegitimizing the jewish state and homeland and the jewish people as a people and it's happening across the country and that's why we have to stand up like these good people did in paris, and like many americans are coming to do tomorrow in washington, d.c. on the national mall, a place of enormous historical significance to say enough is enough. jews do have a right, jews have a right to live in the united states and in europe and yes, in the jewish homeland in the lands of israel, and that is what we are standing for tomorrow in this historic march. >> gillian: quickly. do you think tiktok accounts for all of the pro hamas disinformation that's causing young people in this country to be so critical of israel or is there more to it than that? >> there's more to it than that, antisemitism pre-dates social media, and when i was special envoy i dealt directly, social media and the internet is a very, very powerful vector for societal disease and we see antisemitism spreading in -- one precedent speed because of social media. it's something that has to be addressed, first amendment, of course, has to be protected and preserved, free speech protected, we have to address the tsunami on social media. >> john: we will watch the march. breaking moments ago, the supreme court says it is adopting a code of ethics for the very first time. david spunt live in washington with the breaking news. >> this is after repeated calls from democrats and some republicans for the nine justices on the supreme court to be held to some sort of code of conduct. the justices have said they have abided by common rule ethics practices. 14 page, including the cover page, several different canons, and this comes after several justices, including justice clarence thomas, justice sonia sota-mayor, and a justice may accept reasonable compensation and reimbursements of expenses for permitted activities if the source of the payments does not give the appearance of influencing the justice's official duties or otherwise appear improper. john and gillian, senator dick durbin with the judiciary committee has been pushing for a specific code of conduct for justices waiting to hear exactly what he has to say. this is the first time we have seen at the supreme court an official code of conduct signed by all nine of the supreme court justices. see if they can live up to it, john. >> john: some interesting news. david, thank you. gillian. >> gillian: also this, a brutal beating outside a high school resulting in the death of a 17-year-old student. his family says he was attacked for defending a friend. las vegas police are investigating his death as a homicide. william, how many suspects are there? >> according to las vegas police, as many as 15 teens, but in this video you are about to see, probably not that many. so, jonathan lewis died on tuesday about a week after an attack near his high school left him on life support. according to his father, being lewis was standing up for a smaller friend who had been robbed and thrown in a trash bin. that's what the retaliation began. lewis is punched and kicked by classmates. his father set up a gofundme page, said jonathan lived with his mother in vegas but planned to move in with him in texas. but, look at this video again. you are going to see another teen in light colored pants, try to help lewis, and when the pack will then turn on him, chasing, punching, knocking him to the ground. almost two weeks after the incident, still no arrests, police have not said if race is a factor, and 93% minority, lewis was white. will some of these teens be charged as adults with manslaughter or murder. as for the evidence, we have seen just this one video but appears at least three other students filmed the assault as well. back to you. >> gillian: quite a story. william, thank you. john. >> are you ok? can you ask them if they are ok? dramatic footage showing texas officers rescuing two unaccompanied minor children near the southern border. latest example of the human impact of the border crisis. >> gillian: some migrants who have made it to chicago are moving back to venezuela as the city runs out of resources to care for them. brian kilmeade shares his thoughts coming up next. and i love overcoming challenges. ♪ when better money ha
