pace that israel wants. that might explain why israeli has not committed to extending a cease fire another day. this might explain it more. this is what happens during a pause. the scene from the streets of jerusalem. hamas terrorists killing three israelis at a bus stop and injuring six others and a separate ramming attempt on a checkpoint injuring two idf soldiers. the hostage swap continues but it's looking like the pause will not. "your world" starts now. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. we have an hour to go here before we understand whether israel is yay or nay on adding another day to a pause in hostilities here. we've had seven straight. given all this violence, growing signs that that's it for israel and we'll know in about an hour when a new day begins and perhaps a new war is on. welcome. i want to go to nate foy and get his read from northern israel. nate? >> breaking just in the past minute, israeli media is reporting that the process is underway for the newest round of hostages to be transferred over to the red cross. we're working to independently verify that. but it comes after two hostages were released earliered too. same thing happened yesterday except the two women yesterday were israeli russians. that was scene as a gesture to vladimir putin by hamas. these women have no affiliation to russia or any hamas supporter. take a look at these women today. a21-year-old and 40-year-old woman. back in israel after spending 55 days in hamas captainivety. the 21-year-old was taken from the music festival october 7. she reunited with her mother today. take a look at this video. [crying]. >> the aunt said she was operated on by a vet in gaza after suffering an arm injury on october 7th. her release came just hours after this. you mentioned a terrorist attack in jerusalem this morning where two hamas gunmen murdered three israelis, sent 11 more to the hospital. prime minister benjamin netanyahu had this to say about that today. >> this is the same hamas that carried out the terrible massacre on october 7th. the same hamas that tries to murder us everywhere. i told them nothing will stop us. >> neil, a sad update about a american mother that was released yesterday. her kibbutz manager announced today that her husband was murdered by hamas terrorists. so she will now raise their three children without him. as for the newest round of hostages that are now reportedly being transferred over to the red cross, we're working to verify exactly who is on that list. parents of a 17 and 18-year-old brother and sister claim their children are on that list and will be coming home tonight. >> neil: thanks, nate. i want to go to peter doocy at the white house. you heard antony blinken is in the region meeting with top officials. no word on what is coming of the discussions. peter, what can you tell us? >> officials are here confirming details of a report that came out last night that was biden phoned benjamin netanyahu imploring him not to repeat a military operation in the south that looks like what we saw in the north whenever it is that fighting resumes. >> we have been very consist tint and clear with our israeli counter parts that we do not support a move to the south unless or until they have adequately accounted for the protection of innocent human life. >> netanyahu told biden according to axios that he's still going to go in to gaza's south because that's where hamas is. the soft pressure on d.c. to tel aviv is coming from tony blinken in tel aviv urging israel not to sink to hamas's level. >> as i also said, the way israel defend itself matters. it's imperative that israel act within the laws of war. even when confront ago terrorist group that respects neither. >> as we watch the current secretary of state overseas trying to advance the u.s. president's diplomatic interests, it's worth pointing out that president biden has nothing to say about the former secretary of state henry kissing ir's passing last night. nothing on twitter or x, no e-mailed statements, nothing on camera at an event he had just now. we know the president told donors that he thought kissinger knew more about foreign policy than anything. that is very unusual for something like this. >> neil: peter doocy at the white house. thanks, peter. honor to be joined by dan gillerman. ambassador, good seeing you. what do you think of this pressure on israel right now? cool it, don't go too far. your response? >> well, i can -- first of all, good to be with you. >> neil: same here. >> i can understand where the pressure comes from. i can understand to sensitivity and the care which the president and others have for the people of gaza. but we do, too. we really make very clear distinction between the monsters of hamas and the innocent victims of hamas, who are the people of gaza. but you know, a war is something that cost lives. the israeli army has been described as the most morale army in the world. we have asked people to leave. we have made sure that we really hit as few civilians as possible. but when you have such a vicious, cruel and cynical enemy, that keeps its own people as human shields and really doesn't care about their lives, not only don't tear care about israeli lives, they don't care about palestinian lives. the big difference is for every dead palestinian child is a horrible mistake and tragedy. for them, every dead israeli child is a success and a cause for celebration. when i say a celebration, one of the things that distinguishes hamas -- i'm going very far by saying even from the nazis, is the fact that they not only carry out these very vicious horrendous and human acts of beheading babies and children, raping women, they celebrate it. the nazis tried to hide it. they advertise it as a success. so when you are dealing with an enemy like that, you have to make sure that that they are no longer there to threaten our people and to come back and do the horrible things that they did on october 7 which they vow to do. >> neil: is there a limit to israel's patience with these constant delays and cutting the pause? we're about 50 minutes or so from midnight in israel. at which point we're told that the pause after seven days ends. will it? >> there's a limit to our patience. especially because hamas are using that hostage and this -- this release as a game as part of their psychological warfare. they dead side who to release, when to release. they're separating women from chirp. they're separating husbands from their wives. z they are doing the most inhumane things. by that trying to also influence israeli public opinion. i think there will come a moment very soon, maybe tonight, when israel will have to say enough is enough. we have to continue this. we're continuing this because we're not enjoying going to war -- >> neil: but it's your hope that the pause stops. after seven days it stops. you've been a critic. some of your colleagues have been a critic that hamas is stringing everyone along in its hope to regroup as it releases hostages, a few at a time. is it fair to say then that the pressure from the white house to continue this hostage process, where exchanges are going on every day that that stops? there's no reason to continue it after tonight? >> with your respect and we have great respect for the white house and the president has been steadfast in his support for israel, i think that we have to put an end to it. because that game cannot go on forever. >> neil: so you're ready to tell the president of the united states, this is our war. we're not going to do that? >> yes. i think we will. i think we'll have to. because we have to finish the job. and by the way, when i say finish the job and making sure that hamas is no longer there, able to do the horrible things that they did, we're fighting not just ourselves, we're fighting for you, too. for you too, mr. president, for you too, american friends. for you too, europe. you know what we're seeing in israel is just a preview soon to be seen in a theater near you. we're seeing some signs of it in this country. if we don't finish hamas off and eliminate it and enable it to continue, it will come to europe, come to the united states and therefore it is our responsibility first and foremost to ourselves, but also for the world to make sure they're no longer there. because of that, i think there will have to be an end to those so called human deter rent pauses and israel will have to continue until they finish the job. >> neil: these protests that have been worldwide in this stu and last night they disturbed the holiday tree lighting at rockefeller center. we've been seeing a lot of these pro-palestinian uprisings across the united states in support of the palestinians. some of these blatantly say it's in support of hamas itself. what do you think of that? do you fear that you're losing that part of this war? the p.r. war that hamas oddly enough is the one that seems to be winning that part. >> sadly there's a lot of truth in what you just said. i'm not sure we're losing the p.r. war, but you know, people have a very short memory. the horrendous events that happened on october 7th with babies being taken hostage, with children beheaded and women raped have been forgotten and all people now see is the rubble in gaza. i'm sure that some of these protesters sympathize with their brethren in gaza. i hope they don't sympathize with hamas who is not only our worst enemy, but the worst enemy of the people in gaza who they're holding hostage. so we have to do what we have to do. may not look -- it isn't very pretty, but at the end of the day, we have a solemn responsibility to our people, to make sure that they don't have on their border these hamas monsters. i mean, hundreds of israelis have been displaced, had to leave the south and the north. they will not go back to their home unless they're sure that they don't have next to them a neighbor who vows to repeat what they did on october 7th. so we have to create that security for them. with all due respect to the rest of the world and to the united states, at the end of the day, you know, we're not asking american soldiers to fight for us. we're fighting our own war. we always have. we will do it this time and hopefully and i believe we will be resilient, i believe we're strong and i believe that we shall prevail and win this. >> neil: ambassador dan gillerman, thank you. >> thank you, neil. >> neil: we're about 45 minutes away from knowing one way or the other whether there will be an eighth day to this pause in fighting. there was no technical pause in fighting in israel where there were palestinian assassins taking out israelis in the middle of this pause. we'll have more on that after this. our future will demand more energy than ever. and with innovations in natural gas and oil, america can deliver. but washington keeps pushing extreme policies that limit america's energy. their plan? restrict oil and natural gas produced in america. government mandates for how we fuel our cars and cook our food. a future where energy could be less reliable and more expensive. tell washington - stop the extreme policies and let american energy deliver. ♪ my name is josh sanabria and i am the owner at isla veterinary boutique hospital. i was 5...6 years of age and i knew i was going to be a vet. once alexandra called me to let me know that bank of america had approved my loan... it was important to me. we not only just provide the financing piece, we do everything that we can to surround them with the right people. all you need is a perfect, amazing team that will guide you through the right steps to be successful. and that's what bank of america was for me. honey, i think i heard something. ok. ♪ from christmas tree mats... to floorliners... cargo liners.... no drill mud flaps... seat protectors... and more... weathertech has the perfect holiday gift. honey, is everything ok?

>> neil there's three or four phases of this. get the hostages out. hamas will continue to buy type by trickling hostages out. that gives them time to resupply after the israeli offensive and present themselves on the international stage and the propaganda and the p.r. war as humanitarians, as benevolence, which is pretty incredible but that's what they're doing with some effect. the next piece is what happens in southern gaza. that's what you see the administration trying to influence. my advice is stay out of the israeli's way. we have an interest in terms of the american hostages. i want to hear more about what is happening to the u.s. citizens still under hamas' thumb. what will happen in southern gaza and the big unanswered question is post hamas. what does it look like? is this a u.n. force, is it an israeli occupation, some type of multinational authority? that's the big question. finally, neil, this is the crux of it all. all roads lead back to iran. until this administration reverses course on iran, this is all going to continue to happen whether it's a year from now or five years from now. will us house republicans are taking action. we're voting today to sanction the $6 billion that went for the hostage exchange and make sure that money, whether it's fungible or not is not used to further terrorism. >> neil: we're learning as you're speaking there, 30 palestinians will be released today part of this continuing exchange. it looks like about ten hostages on the israeli side. that continues what has been a ratio, something like three to win palestinians released versus israels released. i don't know the breakdown of those palestinians, whether they were all in jail or being monitored by the government. it is lopsided what do you make of it? >> it's incredibly lop sideand how we have come to this ratio of the worth of an israeli life versus the worth of a palestinian life. i don't know. i can tell you, aside from the numbers, these are literally babies, children, elderly women that hamas snatched out of their homes after brutalizing their families in front of their eyes versus is criminals that worked through an israeli court system. so it's not just the numbers. it's the offense of nonversus -- some stabbing offenders, people that have bombed bus stations. the bigger piece, hamas took these hostages, the taliban does it, isis does it. they do it -- the iranians do it for hostage diplomacy to gain concessions to buy time. they're literally using these people's lives to get -- to gain their objectives. it's not just israeli lives, they're doing it with their own people with the human shields they're using. we should call it out at every time. >> neil: we had former ambassador gillerman on with me. they have been saying the same, if the united states tells us to cool it, we won't. even if the united states says to pause hostilities indefinitely, to secure ongoing hostage releases, we won't do that. now, that risks a great deal of wrath between the white house and israel because we give them a lot of money and support. some in israeli could interpret that as being on tinder hooks if they go ahead and ignore us. but again, every israeli official with whom i've been speaking has said that. if it comes down to that with all respect to the united states, all respect to this president, we won't do that. we cannot do that. what do you think? >> put yourself in their shoes. let's go back to september 12th, 2001. it was take the gloves off and put bombs on these terrorists foreheads. i have had to go in to schools and hospitals while getting shot at by terrorists hiding behind civilians and we lost men, lost american soldiers trying to go room to room when the easier thing would have been to do frankly was just eliminate the entire building. so i have every confidence that the idf as an army that follows the laws of the -- and rules of warfare will do everything that they can. not only from a human rights standpoint to avoid civilian casualties, but they know it's being used against them in the global propaganda war. the political leadership knows that, the israeli government knows that. i don't see why we feel the need to go in their war cabinet and lecture them about human rights when the abusers are on the other side of that wall in gaza and that should be what we hear from blinken, from biden and the entire administration. calling out the tearists for who and what they are. senator cotton says seems like we're putting more pressure on the israelis. >> neil: at the rate we're going, ten hostages releases every day, after today, we'll have over 100 hostages in hamas hands or some of their private operatives. we don't know. it would take a lot of days of pauses to get them out. the flip side is the fear that if the war resumes full throttle, those hostages are in peril. how do you balance that? >> well, it's frankly, neil, it's almost impossible to balance. my understanding is there's about a dozen women and children left. one would think that we pause long enough to get them out. but then, god help those men and those soldiers that were taken. because at some point you're going to have to make that tough decision. bibi will have to make that tough decision. every day that goes by, hamas will regenerate, regain strength. you have to weigh what those hostages -- the price they're going to pay versus those soldiers that you're going to have to send in. and then on the international stage, i believe it's going to get exponentially harder every day that goes by for the israelis diplomatically and from a p.r. standpoint to restart. that is a brutally tough decision that only the elected leadership, the political leadership of israeli can make. >> neil: congressman, i appreciate your patience here. we're showing a seen at the rafah crossing. this is the passage way for some hostages to get out, get medical attention. we're waiting to see the proof of the ten. the fact of the matter is, at this rate, hamas has built up seven days now where some israelis fear that they can regroup and do what they have to do or want to do to extend this war and heighten this war even with the attacks yesterday like palestinian gunmen right in israel itself. so they have not changed their ways here. i'm just wondering what you make of that and whether -- it's very good to have hostages back in same hands, this might be doing more harm in the longer run. >> remember what else is happen at the same time in these pauses. supplying are going in to gaza. i have yet to hear a clear explanation from the administration on how we're assuring that hamas and its thousands of fighters are not syphoning the fuel, the food, the medical supplies that they know they have done and taken that and prevented that from going to the palestinian people and used it for their own ends. so
