breaking details on the critical israel-hamas hostage deal. the ceasefire is set and family members wait in agony to see if their loved ones will be in the first wave of captives released tomorrow morning. some very heavy news, happy thanksgiving, i'm molly line. >> i'm kevin. a spokesman for the qatari government ex claiming what we can see several hours from now. >> 13 in number, all women, and children, and those hostages from the same families will be put together within the same patch. obviously every day will include a number of civilians as agreed to total 50 in the four days. >> this as israeli defense forces say they have captured the director of al-shifa hospital. idf says under his management, the largest hospital in gaza served as hamas' command and control center. in a moment, dr. hulata. but first, correspondent jeff paul joins us live from southern israel. jeff. >> kevin, with the original plan to release the hostages pushed back until tomorrow, it's obviously a very anxious time here on the ground in israel. we are also learning that the israeli government is now in the process of calling each of the hostages' family to let them know who is on the list and who is not. now, under this qatari brokered deal, temporary ceasefire will start at 7:00 a.m. local time. then we are expecting hamas to release the first 13 hostages starting tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. local time. in total, 50 women and children will be released over a period of 4 to 5 days, in exchange, israel will then release 150 palestinian prisoners. during each of these days that hostages are released, there will be pauses in the fighting. the breaks in combat are coming at a critical time when civilians in gaza are running desperately low on the essentials to live. the pauses are expected to allow more aid to flow into gaza, food, clean water and medical supplies are now in critical need. regardless, idf says their mission in gaza to root out hamas is not over. >> we are trying to connect the goals of the war so that the pressure from the ground operation brings about the ability to also achieve the goal of this war, to create the conditions for the release of the abducted hostages. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke a little earlier in the day, he says he hopes the hostages, the first batch come out tomorrow and also saying he hopes this is just the first of many to bring them all back home. kevin. >> jeff paul as always, be safe my friend, thank you so much. molly, over to you. >> moments ago the national security council releasing the statement, welcome the announcement from qatar and expect a number of hostages tomorrow. confirmation there. the doctor, the former national security adviser for israel, and served as the head of the country's national security council. he is now a senior international fellow at the foundation for defense democracies. thank you so much for giving us your time today on this thanksgiving. we really appreciate it. just looking at where we stand right now and the parties involved here, hamas being involved, these are very high level negotiations, though, and qatar has been involved. you, yourself, have been part of very high level negotiations in the past. do you see this holding, do you think we will see hostages released tomorrow? >> well, i hope so, molly. i think that the fact that we have gone so far and a delay of 24 hours after 3 or 4 weeks of negotiations with hamas says a lot about the character of the terrorist organizations. they do not give anything because we ask them nicely. only thing they do, when we have squeezed them hard. abducted 240 hostages on october 7th. one of the most painful things that happened to israeli over the attack and hope we will see those families, mothers, children, released tomorrow over the next few days, as expected, when there are in good shape as possible, alive, so that they can continue with their life and we can continue to negotiate the release of all of the hostages while remembering that as long as hamas controls gaza there will be no future toa. two somewhat contradictory goals in gaza and we need to fulfill them both. >> hamas as well as israel have both said they plan to continue fighting after the end of these temporary pauses as they have been put, and the release of these hostages, seems like something for another day with the focus right now on getting these hostages homes in the next couple of days to come. the foreign affairs spokesperson in qatar had this to say about a future negotiations. >> we are hoping by the fourth day we would have an agreement in place to release more and more hostages and thereby extend the pause. >> your thoughts on the potential of extending a pause? >> so, the agreement is structured in the way that indeed after the first four days israel has said that it will extend the truce, the pause for another day for return of hostages that we get. you know, one must ask himself, why don't we get them all in one deal in the first place, why in batches? we could see a different deal different implications how the war continues after the pause if at all. but at this point, this is agreed. i would expect we will see additional releases over, you know, two days, maybe three days and four days, and indeed, the idea of hamas continue to put pressure on hamas, the goal to eradicate them is very, very clear and israel is releasing terrorists in exchange of our abducted civilians. three for each abducted women and children. this is not a hostage swap. it's a deal israel releases female terrorists and teenage terrorists in exchange of civilians who were abducted from their beds on october 7th. >> great point and among the innocents is a 3-year-old named abigail, an american citizen, hoping to get her home. what her great aunt had to say. >> we hope and believe she should be, she's a 3-year-old child who should never be a hostage anywhere in the world, and we only hope she is, her birthday is on friday, she's turning four and she should not be spending her birthday in the dark in gaza. >> doctor, i want to get your thoughts on the release of women and children first. >> so molly, before i answer that, please, i mean, abigail is -- this is such a heartbreaking story. her parents were murdered, her siblings were murdered, she was kidnapped with her neighbor and their three kids together on october 7th. abigail is one of this more difficult stories we have and indeed her birthday is tomorrow, she'll be 4 tomorrow, hopefully home. israel has been -- we have a soft spot for releasing hostages, granted, this has always been the case. the fact that these women, these kids have been in tunnels for 47 days, 48 days almost, when the first one will be released is mind blowing for the israeli society. we value life, we have a saying in hebrew, the one who saves one life is as if he saves the entire world. we are willing to give three terrorists for each hostage because this is the way we do this. i heard there was a question in sky news an anchor asked an israeli spokesman if we are releasing three terrorists for one hostage because we don't value palestinian life. this is all in reverse. i mean, this does not make any sense. israel wants all of them back. we want all of them back in any shape. many of them are not alive any more. many were abducted when they were not alive and died over there and we will need to release them all. i'm happy we are able to get back those kids. there was a newborn there, there was a 3-month-old child there and it's very important to get them back so we can take care of them and hopefully it's only the start and we can get them all back. >> thank you, dr. hulata, we want abigail and all the hostages to come home as well. thank you for a few minutes of your time. appreciate it. >> happy thanksgiving to everybody. >> molly, and doctor, happy thanksgiving and thank you. with some hostages on the cusp of release, pro palestinian protestors with their own spin on thanksgiving calling to flood thanks, flood thanks taking for gaza. israeli special ops veteran aaron cohen joins us next.

from the river to the sea at the new york city thanksgiving parade earlier today. blocks away, a rally for gaza, where organizers say america has a genocidal history that continues to this very day. alexis mcadams from the big apple. >> kevin, a lot of action right outside of fox news headquarters today, we had the macy's thanksgiving day parade, lots of people came to see that and catch a glimpse of the unbelievable floats and also lots of protestors, too, mixed in the crowds along with police who are trying to keep it all under control and the demonstrations are still continuing. watch. >> ceasefire now, ceasefire now! >> ceasefire now, just some of the things they were chanting out here, calling out the united states for what they say has been a genocide in gaza. that protest in new york city. hundreds showing up in support of the palestinian team. this happens on a weekly basis, it does add an extra layer, when you have the visitors trying to see the parade and now the protests. they are calling on a ceasefire and demanding the u.s. stop supporting what they believe is genocide. eric adams tells us the nypd is ready to handle the crowds as usual. >> we are not going to tolerate disruption. we are clear on that. you are not going to destroy property or injure people, but we are prepared to deal with a multitude of things that take the place at one time. the police department does it well, incoordination with other city agencies. >> those are the crowds you are looking at from the 97th annual macy's parade, drawing big groups of people to see the floats and marching bands. although there are no specific threats to the parade, the war has created what feds are calling a heightened threat environment, that's why they have added security to ensure everyone's safety. another quick look at what's happening not far from where i am now, that's still the march of the people who further gathered along the parade route, trying to kind of interrupt some of that action with the macy's thanksgiving day parade. and then another location in manhattan, it starts with dozens, turns into hundreds and sometimes gets big. so, keep a close eye on that and what they are demanding today. >> kevin: thanks, be safe out there. aaron cohen, israeli special ops veteran, and counter terrorism training from law enforcement. from the river to the sea, your perspective what it means and why it seems to be the call of the day so often and yet quite controversial. you saw alex describe what's happening, describe if you would the difficulty in maintaining control in an environment where you have folks out there trying to enjoy the parade and yet you have these sort of pop-up demonstrations. >> well, kevin, start by saying that nypd has been one of the largest terror targets since 9/11. they are no stranger to counter terrorism measures. the late great john miller just stepped down from the nypd who headed counter terrorism program, a good buddy of mine. a lot of security measures in place and you are going to have manhole covers checked, tons of uniform presence, put down any violence or any, or any damage to any property very quickly. under cover, plain clothed officers out there, and then new york has esu, the emergency services unit, tier 1 asset in the united states, a swat team, and new york knows what they are doing. a lot of eyes watching this event right now. i think new york is going to be in good shape. >> plain clothes obviously as well as they try to once again just sort of make that balance. you want to have people have a great time and the same time, obviously safety is paramount. when you hear protestors chanting, and this may be personal, and i don't mind asking you, i consider you a friend, from the river to the sea, what does that mean to you and how do you receive that knowing this country is so promising on so many other levels and yet you hear things like that. >> from the river to the sea, born from hamas, this came out in the late 80s the formation of hamas, official declaration is to complete destruction of the israeli state. they are not even interested in two-state solution or agreement with israel. it's the complete eradication of the jews. and it's the jews worldwide and the next big target, according to their declaration, anybody who does not fall in line with their twisted ideological, extreme sharia point of view, and it's a very dangerous group. this is not a social justice group. what you are seeing right now, this social justice movement, tacking on to the terror organization as if it's a social justice club. it's anything far. they will cut heads off, women have b to covered from head to toe. if you don't fall in line with what their ideology is, you will get murdered. if you don't immediately go to their side and their point of view. and so this is a dangerous, dangerous group, one of the most dangerous, equivalent to isis in terms of capabilities. 1400 israelis murdered, the amount of kidnapped israelis up to 240, and israel has been methodically taking care of them the last 40 plus days. and israel is about to put a bow on the hamas package in gaza. i'll say this, a very sad connection right now between social justice movements and this terror organization. they have no idea who they are cross pollinating with right now, and but hopefully it's a passing fad but i want to talk to the law enforcement community, kevin, i've been training them over 25 years in counter terrorism, the israeli model, and speaking of the law enforcement chiefs and sheriff, it's important as this continues to grow you get serious with your training and that it's able to function under stress with your swat teams, your patrol officers and school resource officers and it's counter terrorism based. that's what i've been saying to law enforcement around the country. >> kevin: very interesting comments, especially you talk about cross pollination. there may be some misguided individuals out there with no idea what they are linking up to, and that means law enforcement has to remain vigilant. thank you for your time. happy thanksgiving to you and yours. >> happy thanksgiving, kevin. appreciate you. >> molly: our political panel on president biden sliding support and a key demographic, that is up next. they say seeing is believing, but with

office, 40%. and the latest nbc news poll has disapproval rating all-time high of 57%. correspondent lucas tomlinson is live in nantucket, massachusetts, where the president gets to spend thanksgiving, as well as you, lucas. >> happy thanksgiving, molly, from your home state of massachusetts, by the way, hate to break it to the good people here in nantucket, the first thanksgiving was in virginia, not in plymouth. the poll numbers, not what the president wanted and he saw himself losing to former president donald trump in the polls, down 46-44, behind two points. and perhaps more concerning to the white house, donald trump is more popular than the president with young people, 18 to 34 years old, likely due to the president's handling of the israeli hamas war. earlier today here in nantucket, president biden visiting a fire house. one of the trucks forced to roll last night, false alarm on the $34 million home where he is staying, perhaps from one of the pies, serious note, though, the president is hoping for good news, some of the 50 hostages, women and children, including a 3-year-old american girl are expected to be released by hamas in exchange for 150 palestinian prisoners. biden spoke to reporters about that earlier. >> talk to you guys tomorrow. >> updates today, sir? >> i'm not prepared to give you an update until it's done. >> are you expecting the 3-year-old girl to be among the hostages? >> keeping my fingers crossed. >> president biden and the first lady also spoke to u.s. military service members from all five branches, including the space force. it was notable who he didn't call, any of the crew members afford the u.s.s. gerald ford. that aircraft carrier has been extended twice, she was supposed to be home for thanksgiving. >> molly: great point, thank them all for their service and lucas tomlinson, appreciate you as well on nantucket. >> kevin: kaylee mcgee white, and doug collins, and d.c. carlucci. your take, d.c. first, because i think a lot of people when we talk about politics right now
