special edition of "the ingraham angle." two major breaking stories happening tonight. the first israel and hamas have come to a temporary cease-fire deal, which includes a hostage and prisoner swap. but late tonight, we learned from the israeli government that the swap has been delayed. we'll go live to northern israel for the latest in moments. but, first: two people are dead after a massive vehicle explosion at the u.s.-canada border video shows the car flying through the air before ending in fiery crash. alexis mcadams is standing by with all the breaking details. alexis? >> hey, jason. so this has been developing throughout the day and with breaking news comes breaking developments. so the latest information we have so far is sources telling us that earlier in the day that explosion after that crash was so loud they thought there were several explosive devices in that vehicle. so that was the initial reporting that came throughout the day. now new york's kathy hochul trying to get out in front of this because some people are on edge around buffalo and the country. this is what she had to say. watch. >> we have within on heightened alert since october 7th. that's why it's so important for me to stand here and tell the world based on what we know at this moment and, again, anything can change. there is no sign of terrorist activity with respect to this crash. >> take a look there on your screen as well. you can see the car going at a high rate of speed, right? it suddenly goes airborne. clearing a fence there near the border and smashing to the ground. that impact causing what sources tell us was a massive explosion that had people on high alert. so much so that they ended up putting extra security at the airport and evacuating government buildings. and people were really afraid of what was going to happen next. the fire engulfed that vehicle as crews rushed in to help. the authorities say the investigation is ongoing, it's going to be that way for several days maybe weeks or more. the blaze crash injuring one border patrol agent who only had a minor injury. the governor saying at this time it's not clear if the crash was intentional or if, you know, the person was driving toward the rainbow bridge there. the governor wanting to calm the fears of so many people as we heard from federal authorities, jason for several days they have a heightened alert with growing issues across the country. and they want to make sure everybody is alert as we head into this holiday weekend where we have seen so much happening. jason? >> jason: alexis, thank you. ♪ and in israel, a temporary cease-fire deal has been reached with hamas which includes the release of 50 hostages. but there is a catch. and a delay. for all the details, we go live to northern israel where fox news foreign correspondent alex hogan is standing by. alex? >> hi, jason, there was hope that these hostages could be released as early as tomorrow. now we are hearing that likely won't be happening until as early as friday morning. what this deal includes the release of 50 hostages, women and children in exchange for 150 palestinians, women and children in israeli jails as well as a four-day cease-fire. that cease-fire could be extended even longer. one extra day for every 10 additional hostages who are released. so families here in israel are hopeful tonight their loved ones could be among those released. there is also a lot of concern and fear, of course, about what their loved ones have likely endured over the last six-plus weeks. prime minister benjamin says that the current deal also gives hope to the hostages who will not be part of this first group. >> the red cross will be allowed to visit the remainder of the hostages and to give them required medications and i expect the red cross to do its work. >> the cease-fire has not started yet. in gaza t the idf is conducting the targeted raids they leased new footage under neat the al shifa hospital the largest facility in gaza. so far they say they have found 400 tunnel shafts built by hamas as they work you this their way through the gaza strip. in northern israel. the idf responded to incoming fire from hezbollah and lebanon by sending in fighter jets to hit military sites. several people died in lebanon over the past few days, including two lebanese journalists. hezbollah says there will be retaliation here for those deaths. we are hearing from u.s. state officials that there is concern that the conflict could continue to spread out into a everywhere larger conflict. u.s. officials are hoping that the cease-fire with hamas and israel in the south will also carry over here to the conflict between the idf and hezbollah. we also are learning that just within the last day today, there was a surprise visit. it was unannounced by iran's foreign minister visiting lebanon. jason? >> jason: interesting. alex, i have one question for you. >> the people on the ground there in israel, i mean, this attack -- this fighting has been going on for weeks. is this negotiated deal, is it giving them hope? do they think that this is the end is in sight or do they know that, hey, this might be a slight pause but the fighting will continue on? >> i think there's definitely a sense of hope for the families, as far as those who are hopeful that in the next coming hours, maybe 48 hours they could be among the lucky few to see their family members again. there is not the expectation among the general israeli public that this by any means means a stop in the war. we have heard repeatedly being called as just a temporary cease-fire, pausing the fighting right now to be able to free up some of these hostages. by no means calling this an end to the war. here alone in the north, these towns have been evacuated. while this is very, very far from the conflict that we are seeing in the south. it's just not safe for people to come back here because of the growing conflict with hezbollah. same thing in the south. towns along gaza in israel have been evacuated because it's just not safe to return there. there is about 280,000 israelis that are currently displaced in the country because of the regional conflicts that we're seeing. there is 1.7 million people displaced in gaza but here on the ground, in terms of those concerns right now, those feelings of is this almost over, no, this is just a temporary pause to free up some of those families. jason? >> jason: alex, stay safe, you're doing some amazing reporting and i know you are away from family this thanksgiving. thanks what you are doing and bringing the very latest from israel and really do appreciate it. alex, thank you. ♪ >> >> between creating the time and space to get hostages out, which is a huge win, first for the families but also for israel, for the united states and for other countries. >> jason: so, should the white house really be exploiting this temporary cease-fire to take a victory lap? joining me now is richard goldberg, former director for countering iranian weapons of mass destruction at the national security council under president trump. thanks for being here. what do you make of the national security adviser's comments and the general comments come out of the white house at this point? >> well, jason we are seeing tonight already this pause, this 24 hour delay in a deal we thought was going to happen. families waiting with baited breath by their phones to see if they get the call, hunger games type psychologic warfare to see if their looed ones are coming home tomorrow. and now they find out the rug has been pulled out of them. it will be another day delay. so these are all psychologic warfare games, an extension of the horror show that started on october 7th. nobody should be trying to deliver press releases and victory laps right now which remain very focused and understanding of who hamas is. what this evil is, that continues to play out in want from of us and make sure we have israel's back to restart operation and destroy hamas when this is over. >> jason: it does sound, richard, like the white house was very encouraging and very supportive and probably very involved in this hostage negotiation. and it's, you know, hey, if you are going to be able to bring any of those hostages home, if you are one of those families, you want it to be your loved one. so trying to find that proper balance, that's a tough call. >> absolutely. do i think the administration has gotten this wrong from the very beginning. who started this hostage negotiation? it was one of hamas' chief sponsors that host them. the qataris in doha where hamas still has an office. their leaders are still negotiating right now at this hour on this hostage deal. we should have been putting pressure on qatar from day one. we still should be putting pressure on combat tar to say close down your sponsor of hamas and deliver all the hostages unconditionally. let's remember what is going to happen in this deal children and women are going to be taken away from fathers. the families will be divided. think of all the families that won't get any loved ones when this is over. and think of, again, all the dead, the 1200 people who will never come home because they have before been mass murdered by hamas. understand this is not a time for victory laps. it's great to see people come home. every life saved is valued. that's why israel is doing this deal. let's remain very focused on who hamas is, who their sponsors are what their game is in this negotiation, and make sure we don't allow this to become a permanent cease-fire. make sure we have israel back to finish the job. >> jason: so, richard, we know a bit about the hostages that were just taken. they were literally just came across the border, took them and used them as human shields in a place of negotiation. but, in this swap, 3 to 1 swap. they would be releasing -- israel would be releasing prisoners, tell us about the makeup of these prisoners that would be going back over toes palestinian side of the equation not just operational pause by the israelis cease-fire. also the release of the 3 to 1 ratio of people who are in israeli jails because they were convicted of committing terror related crimes. these are people who tried to kill jews in israel. whether by knife attack, explosives, smuggling for terrorists, plotting attacks. they did not commit those, thankfully casualty causing terrorist attacks in the end. they were caught beforehand or in the process. they say these people don't have blood on their hands as they say in israel. those are the ones going to be on a list to be released in exchange for the hostages. but, remember, these are going to be people who were involved in terrorism, going right back into the west bank, going into east jerusalem. free to rejoin the battlefield. so israel is paying a high price for this. but they are doing so out of the humanitarian wish to get their people home because in the end, israel values life. their enemies value death. >> jason: richard, thank you for your perspective. have a wonderful thanksgiving. we do appreciate it. >> jason: joining me now is ambassador robert o'brien. he is the former national security adviser for president trump. ambassador o'brien thank you so much for joining us. what is your general take on what is happening and what is going on right now and what do you make of this pause for another 24 hours. >> well, the first thing is i want to say it will be great if the hostages actually come home. i would be careful if i was the administration about talking about the victory that's been attained because so far no hostages have come home. we need to get them home. we don't want to be premature. this has happened in the past where they touted a deal for brittney griner or someone else been delayed. make sure the hostages get home. if they get home it's it's a victory for families and israel. if that's done we need to make sure that israel goes back to the task of taking hamas out so they can't commit these terrorist activities again in the future. >> jason: you played such a pia toll role there in the trump administration. explain to us on the macrolevel what is going on with qatar, what is going on with iran. nothing is happening with hamas and hezbollah for that matter. nothing is going on with hamas without the iranians being involved, correct? >> well, this is iranian operation from start to finish. hamas would not shoot a bb gun over the border israel without the approval of the igc and quds force. iran is the funder of hamas. iran trained hamas. they pay bounties to suicide bombers, so this is an iranian operation. they have essentially attacked israel. they have used hamas and hezbollah as proxies to bring the war to israel's borders. and we need to hold iran accountable for it. we just paid $6 billion in ransom for five americans held by iran. and what did they do with that money? while the funds may not be -- the funds that the iranian government has and that they have achieved during the biden administration. they funded hamas, they have taken terrorists. they have taken hostages and they have committed terrorist acts by killing 1300 israelis on the border. so, we have totally got to hold iran responsible at the end of the day. >> jason: now, there has been some fighting up north, we just heard a report from northern israel about what hezbollah is doing. is it the exact same equation with iran involvement with hezbollah as well? >> it is, jason. the hezbollah supplied over 100,000 missiles. short-range, medium-range, long-range missiles by the iranians. and they pose an extreme danger to the state of israel. the israelis have had to evacuate people from the border to make sure that what happens -- what happened down south the seurat doesn't happenn the borders with lebanon. hezbollah needs to be careful and hezbollah is watching closely as israel eliminates hamas. and we have to make sure as rich said we support the israelis. when the pause is over the israelis have to go back to the bills of eliminating hamas. that's the main goal here. we want to get the hostages home and then eliminate hamas. and hezbollah is watching that wondering if we attack israel, are we next? and i think the answer is yes. so, hezbollah is being far more careful than i think a lot of people may have anticipated. our administration is so concerned about escalation. we want the other guys to be concerned about escalation. we want to iran to be concerned about escalation. we want to hezbollah to be concerned about escalation and not always us being so worried about escalation. >> jason: robert o'brien, the former national security adviser for president trump. thank you so much for joining us. i hope you and your family have a wonderful thanksgiving. i appreciate you joining us on "the ingraham angle." all right. new details about the vehicle explosion at our northern border. we go live to the scene next. stay there. ♪ this is our last chance to help save thousands of holocaust survivors who are suffering in the former soviet union today. the needs that these forgotten jews have are something beyond anything you can imagine. have you eaten this morning? i ate the carrot, so i ate half of it yesterday. and this is what she ate in two days, one carrot. please pray for me! the international fellowship of christians and jews began this ministry to help elderly jews living in horrible poverty around the world. we urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the foods they critically need for their diet for one month. when you call right now, your gift's impact will be doubled to help save lives. i have a tremendous love for israel and the jewish people. this is why i'm partnering with the fellowship. it gives me a way to authentically bless jewish people in need around the world. i believe in god, but i sometimes feel maybe he forgot me. perhaps you could tell my story and i will find a matching soul that would understand. i face hunger again. please don't delay. call, scan, or go online now to help rush one survival food box to a holocaust survivor. when you call right now, your gift's impact will be doubled to help save lives. this is what god wants from us. just feed the hungry. if you hear god's voice, i'm asking you to act now. do it when it's on your heart. i pray that they'll know in their final months that they're not alone. ♪ jason jason a fiery crash at our northern border sending shock waves through the country. who was behind us and what was the motive? for more we go live to niagara falls where fox multi media reporter caroline elliott is standing by. caroline? >> well, jason, there have been some conflicting reports today tonight chuck schumer tweeted the he was just briefed by the fbi on the incident at niagara falls. there is no treason belief this was terrorism. they believe they have the identity of the driver. here on the ground there are still several roads and the border entry behind us is closed and talking with border agents on the ground they tell us this will likely take some time before it's reopened. officials are just telling us right now they are thankful this wasn't worse. jason? >> jason: caroline, thank you very much. do appreciate it. all right, joining me now is paul mauro, former nypd head of intel operations. paul, thanks for joining us tonight on "the ingraham angle." what's the latest? what are you hearing? you have a good network of people law enforcement in new york. what are you hearing? >> they have been pouring water on this as being a terrorist attack from probably hour and a half, two hours ago. maybe even earlier. some of it just didn't check out. now, you always have to investigate it as if it's terrorism and that has to continue until you any dispositively. things didn't fly. for instance, if it were a terrorist attack and the car was extensively loaded with heavy explosives. a, you didn't get much of a blast because fortunately the only doass are the driver and the passenger. secondly, what would have the plan have been that the crash of the vehicle was supposed to be the triggering mechanism? that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. secondly, the car is supposedly stolen. when was it stolen and by backtracking that way the car has only been in these people's possession for a certain amount of time did there have time to wire it up for detonation? i couldn't do it. there was a lot of skepticism about it from the get-go. that said, in defense of some of the reporting that came out there were reports coming from the scene that there was a loud of eggs motion. what i put that down to is the car was going incredibly fast and a car of that size hitting anything is going to make loot 6 noise. i think the bystanders it sounded like an eggs -- explos. especially if you don't hear those things on scalely basis. >> jason: hooh here is what governor hochul said how big the cash was, watch. this as you can imagine, this vehicle basically incinerated, nothing is left the pieces are scattered over 13, 14. it is a large scene. and it's going to take a lot of time for our federal law enforcement partners to be able to piece together the real st story. >> jason: i do hope, paul, they were able to identify hot drivers were much swifter than what it sounds like. i would guess with the degree so big and so far and so wide it does take a little while to put this together even though it may have been a stolen vehicle. >> right, the stolen vehicle is what works against you. because of the plate and even the vin is not going to come back to the owner. because the car has been stolen. so then you are left with two mystery bodies that you have to figure out how to track. and if they are not in possession of i.d. if the crash was so cataclysmic that you don't have an intact wallet or something to go through or they purposely didn't
