We start with a fox news alert. Israeli forces telling civilians to evacuate the eastern area of rafah as the idf gears up for a major operation against hamas. Authorities in mexico identifying the bodies of three surfers who went missing last week. The disturbing details we are learning this morning. Brian and donald trump due back in Manhattan Court this morning. This is week 4. As the former prosecutor in his georgia case speaks out for the first time in his relationship with d. A. Fani willis. Romances are as american as apple pie. It happens to everyone. Brian right. Love american style. I remember that. Remember that show . All right. Ha ha, i hope he has more to say. Fox friends starts right now. Remember, mornings are better with friends. Brian we begin with a fox news alert. Roughly 100,000 civilians are under Evacuation Orders as we speak with israel preparing for an imminent offensive into rafah. Charlie israels defense minister telling u. S. Defense secretary lloyd austin overnight that hamas has left them with no choice after trying to negotiate a new hostage deal and ceasefire. Ainsley israel expanding the humanitarian area for all those evacuees in preparation for the flood of evacuees. And alex hogan joins us live with the latest. This Grave Warning coming from israel today warning all residents in rafah to flee as soon as possible. This is a live look at rafah, which is one of the southern most cities in the gaza strip, which is housing about 1. 4 Million People, many of whom had already been displaced earlier on since the start of the war. And this had largely been seen as last safe haven. Israel released fliers there saying, quote the idf is about to operate with force against a Terror Organization in the area currently reside. As the idf has operated so far. Anyone in the area puts themselves and their Family Members in danger. Now, u. S. And other governments have repeatedly warned israel against Attacking Rafah because of the potential risk to civilians. As you mentioned israels defense minister gallant spoke with his u. S. Counterpart lloyd austin last night. Residents moved to humanitarian zone that has expanded humanitarian aid including field hospitals, food, medicine, and water. Israel today explains that this is a limited scope operation, which will effect about 100,000 people, but not the entirety of wrath fall. Still, there is already backlash with one hamas official saying that there will be serious consequences for all of this. Now, all of this also comes after we had seen a lot of recent negotiations between israel, egypt, qatar, these main Negotiating Powers to try to broker some kind of ceasefire to release more hostages. All of that not coming to fruition. Steve, brian, and Charlie Ainsley i should say. One thing we deed coo need to remember at this point israel says there are still more than 100 hostages being held in gaza. Back to you. Brian all right. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Mean i will whoorks lets just a look at what it means not everyone grows up in israel and knowing how conflicted this land is this gray area right here. This is the free zone. Youre not going to get bombed if you go over here. A pier over here to allow humanitarian effort to come in. Trying to create a corridor, to allow people it will be easy go out of egypt but they dont want to participate so they keep everything sealed off. So right now it looks like we are telling everybody to head south. In rafah this is where the invasion is going to come. The most thing they want to do is move as many people out as possible. The problem is in rafah is where the hostages are, and where the remnants of hamas is. Theres thousands still there. And it looks like sinwar, the bin laden of this conflict is sitting right in the middle of what is left in the hostage population. At least, 20, 30, 40. We hope mover. We thought up to 130. Thats a pipe dream sadly at this point. Thats a question do you listen to Antony Blinken when he says dont go into rafah, do you know what the Prime Minister said . We have to go into wrath fall. Thats where this is where the bad guys are this is where the people that gave us that december october 7th. This is why we have go in there if they dont go in there by the way this is going to happen again 18 months. They will plan another operation, believe it or not, even though they have lost the bulk of their fighting force, if they live to fight another day, even with a smaller population, its considered a win. Because thats what you have to look at right now. Not a numbers game. Survival is a win for hamas. And for Prime Minister netanyahu its not a matter of politics, in my view. I think its just a matter of him saying how can i possibly say i protected the israeli people from another attack if i leave the people in charge that perpetrated it, that scripted it alive and well . Ainsley yeah. He says no amount of pressure. No decision by any International Forum will stop israel from defending itself. Lets bring in retired Brigadier General rob spalding. Good morning. Ainsley brian was mapping that out. Great job, brian. He was saying thats where the hostages are in rafah. Does that mean israel is possibly go in and rescue those hostages . Im sure they can but its also going to be quite fraught because there is going to be active combat operation. Im sure there is going to be casualties, and unfortunately i dont think hamas has left the israelis any choice. We are going after an ideology here. Its really not about the palestinians. S scary thing is that ideology has crept over here. Charlie so, hamas, israel says that hamas has six remains battalions. Can you put that into some context against what they started with and how dangerous that that group that force is . Well, they have been not just the numbers have been whittled down, Something Like 11 or 12,000 hamas fighters have been taken out. More importantly an attack israel has been whittled down. This is the last remaining vestige. And israel is right to wipe it out. Brian whats amaze something first time in my lifetime we have cut off ammo deliveries to israel. Because they say they have not been discerning enough about the civilian population when attacking the most densely populated area that we have ever really seen in warfare at this point. Your reaction to this half measure by the Biden Administration . Look. We have had casualties in war. We have been criticized in war both iraq and afghanistan. When you are fighting in dense urban populations. Especially given the adversary, in this case hamas, uses their population as human shields. I think the israelis have gone above and beyond, and they have been quite clear that they are trying to prevent civilian casualties. But, hamas really has to be held responsible for it. Ainsley yeah. Israel has been dropping those familiar threats in this area warning them you need to get out. We could attack at any minute. So you need to get out. They have not given a timeline. Brigadier general, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Thank you. Brian blinken says rafah cant happen. The Prime Minister says its happening. Its happening now. Utter defiance and a grarkt two allies. Ainsley yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day gave netanyahu a chance to talk and he said listen we are going to do what we are going to do. We are not listening to the United States or any other country. Charlie wherever you come down on the u. S. Funding these things. Congress has spoken. The idea the administration is going to hold up gunpowder and munitions to israel is unconstitutional. Brian you dont do this to france. You dont embarrass them on the election. New york vs. Donald trump trial is set to begin at 9 00 a. M. Eastern. Prosecution gearing up for their star witness talking about Michael Cohen e will eventually take the stand, maybe this week. Charlie eric shawn is live from the new York Supreme Court with more. Eric . Good morning, brian. It will be a new week and new witness this morning after that emotional testimony from the hope hix on friday. This as prosecutors are gearing up for Michael Cohen trying to show that the former president hid his alleged affairs to protect his campaign. The defense says though, not not true. It was to protect his family. On friday ms. Hix who was one of the former president s closest advisers, captivated the courtroom as she broke down in tears, testifying against her boss who sat a few feet away. Legal experts say she both helped and hurt mr. Trump. She revealed that trump did know about the secret payment to Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet. Thats illegal experts corroborates with Michael Cohen is about to say when he testifies that trump was behind the alleged payoff scheme. But, on crossexamination, she said that trump did not want the news of stormys claims to go public because it would hurt melania. Quote he was concerned about how it would be viewed by his wife. And he wanted me to make sure the noons werent delivered to the residence that morning, she said. I dont think he wanted anyone in his family to be hurt or embarrassed by anything that was happening on the campaign trail. He wanted them to be proud of him, she said. She did not seem to buy trumps claim that cohen paid off stormy himself saying, quote i would say that would be out of character for michael. I didnt know michael to be an especially charitable person or selfless person. Were also waiting to see if judge merchan will sock the former president with 4,000 more dollars in gag order violations on top of the nine Grand He Ponied Up last friday we will see who that comes as who tefsz this morning. Brian, we dont know. Prosecutors are keeping that under wraps because they dont want the former president to attack whoever the witness is on truth social when he speaks out in the courtroom. When we find out who it is, we will let you know. Right now we dont know who is going to take the stand. Back to you. Brian is it safe the big witnesses, Stormy Daniels, macdougall and cohen. Who is the other big witnesses . Thats it, right . Eric well, could be some witnesses that we dont know about who were involved in processing some of these payments. Brian those are the big names. Eric well have to see. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. They are the big ones. Charlie thank you, eric. Lets bring in fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. Along those line what is brian was just saying, when you look at all of these witnesses that alvin bragg has brought, in it does seem that they have all kind of backfired a little bit. Gregg i think its true hope hicks was an example. Charlie, she undermined the prosecutions case when she told the jury that trumps motive for Suppressing Salacious Stories was to protect his wife, not campaign. So, that is the exact opposite of alvin braggs Central Theory that trumps intent was to help his election and, therefore, he violated campaign laws. No, he didnt. And it corroborates the findings of the feds who said, you know, no crimes were committed here. No Campaign Finance violations. Bragg has charged trump with falsifying private Business Records in 2017. Well, think about that. Thats the year after the election. Its factually impossible to unlawfully influence an election after it occurred. And what was false about these Business Records anyway . It was a negotiated legal settlement. So, of course you put it down as legal expenses. Ainsley gregg, it doesnt seem to be hurting him trump raised 76 million last month in april alone. When you look at the abc ipsos poll, it says what would do you if trump is convicted in this case . 80 percent said they would support him. 16 percent said they would reconsider supporting him and 4 percent said no longer support him. Whats your reaction . Well, i think those numbers prove a point. That americans are smart. They see through this charade. They see that trump is, first of all, a victim of blackmail by Stormy Daniels and, second of all. That this is a politically motivated prosecution by alvin bragg, i think by jack smith, fani willis and americans dont like it because it is election interference, blatantly so. Americans think they are the ones who should decide who should be the next president , not prosecutors with an agenda. Brian all right. We will see where this goes. They say they are putting together a jigsaw puzzle. So far they havent really mentioned what they are charging with and thats elections interference. They are just having hulk hogan, big names come in. Get everyones attention. Lets see how they tie it together or if its even possible. Or if they have made up their mind, the jury, we wouldnt know. See what happened earlier in georgia and that case blew up or is blowing up and might have to be reconfigured or reintroduced because of nathan wade and the relationship with fani willis. Nathan wade is speaking out about office romance. And, regrets, does he have a few or too few to remember . Lets watch. Workplace romances are as american as apple pie, it happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us. Do you regret is it. I regret that that private matter became the focal point of this very important prosecution. This is a very important case. I hate that my personal life has begun to overshadow the true issues in the case. Charlie i think i grew up in the wrong america. Gregg what wade is really Say Something he only regrets getting caught. This guy is a piece of work. Claiming his affair is as american as apple pie . I wonder how his exwife thinks about that . He has a twisted sense of athletics. Ethics. Every time he opens his mouth he embarrasses hisself further. He melted down crossexamination. We confronted with his sworn statement that he never had an extramarital affair. His reasoning was that cheating on his wife didnt count. He was raking in mountains of cash from his lover. Living lavishly. The judge called it an odor of mendacity. Im still mystified how wade and willis both committed the same misconduct, he gets canned, she doesnt. And as his boss, she, fani willis, had a greater responsibility to avoid to avoid impropriety. Yet, there she is, still on the case. Brian gregg, do you feel a man is not a plan, its just a companion . Gregg a what . Im sorry. Ainsley thats what fanny said. My daddy taught me a man is not a plan. Gregg yeah. Okay. [laughter] brian all right. Gregg i think i better stay out of that. Brian okay, fine. Charlie smart man. Ainsley thank you, gregg. Brian we will see what happens. She likes to keep a lot of cash around. I thought he would remember that. Thats all i think about. Charlie what are they teaching in law school these days . Brian a man is not a plan. Three servers went missing last week. Have identified the he remains. Found the bofdz Jack Carter Road and australian Brothers Jake and Callum Robinson shot in the head at the bottom of a 50foot well. Ainsley Madeleine Rivera joins us with all the details.

They had been enjoying a surfing trip in mexico a Couple Miles South of the u. S. And mexico border. Found along the coast. Investigators believe the surfers were the victims of a robbery.
