The 11th hour gets underway on this wednesday night. Good evening, i am Alicia Menendez, in for stephanie ruhle. President biden is now on his way back to washington d. C. After his wartime trip to israel. He spent less than a day on the ground and left no doubt about the u. S. Governments commitment to backing israel in the war with hamas. The president s trip came amid outrage over the blast that killed hundreds of at a hospital in gaza. President biden said today, it appears that israel was not behind the explosion. He will likely talk about all of this tomorrow night during a primetime speech to the nation from the oval office. Nbcs lester holt has more from israel. 24 hours after that deadly Hospital Explosion that sparked anger across the arab world, President Biden in israel today, blaming a misfired palestinian rocket, not an israeli missile, for the deaths. I was outraged and saddened by the enormous loss of life yesterday in a hospital in gaza. Based on the information we have seen to date, it appears the result of an errant rocket fired the u. S. Has an independent assessment that it was a rocket fired by the Palestinian Militant GroupIslamic Jihad that hit the hospital. Islamic jihad has denied responsibility. The idf saying that evidence at the site shows it was not an israeli missile, which would have left a large crater. Structural damage the walls stay intact. No craters. These are the characterized that shows that it is not an aerial munition that have hit the parking lot. They say they have intercepts in which Palestinian Militants acknowledge it was not an israeli missile, while hamas says the idf warned people to evacuate around the hospital before the explosion, and that damage is consistent with an israeli strike. The carnage at the hospital loomed over this critical visit. The president touching down in israel, greeting the Prime Minister. This hugged on the tarmac. A trip aimed at showing solidarity with one of americas closest allies. People of israel people of the world to know the United States stands. Thank you for standing with israel today, tomorrow, and always. After the massive Hamas Terror Attack on israel the Terrorist Group Hamas has slaughtered, its been pointed out, over 1300 people. And it is not hyperbole to suggest slaughtered. Slaughtered. And including 31 americans. The president , hearing the horrors of that day from israeli first responders. Children, little for their parents, murdered in front of their parents and meeting families of hostages held by Hamas Terrorists inside gaza, including americans. President biden facing pressure to bring them home. Mr. Biden making this high stakes trip in the middle of a dangerous war zone with hamas still firing rockets. Less than two hours after he left, Air Raid Sirens sounding in the heart of tel aviv. Meanwhile, inside gaza, the humanitarian crisis entire neighborhoods flattened by israeli retaliation strikes. Tonight, after a request from mr. Biden, israel says it will end its gaza siege and allow badly needed food, water and medicine in across the egypt border, but not across israeli borders, until hamas free the hostages. And late to nay today, announcing egypts president will allow 20 trucks of aid into gaza. Do is open the gate. Now, to the anger that has erupted after that Hospital Explosion in gaza. Heres nbcs richard engel. This is the explosion that has shaken the middle east. New video shows that deadly explosion at a hospital in gaza city that reportedly killed hundreds and sparked protests. From iran to yemen to lebanon, where demonstrators directed their anger against the United States, israels main backer. Security forces in beirut used Water Cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds outside the u. S. Embassy. In the west bank, palestinians today dragged out the barricades and slung rocks at Israeli Soldiers. There were not many. Mostly teenagers. Israeli troops kept their distance, but when the stone throwers got to close the soldiers opened fire. Sending medical crews rushing in. Here is one more injured being taken away. Israelis are them off with what appears to be rubber bowl its at this stage. No one was seriously injured here today. But a new generation of palestinians is taking to the streets, while israel and hamas are blaming each other for the Hospital Explosion, a new Palestinian Uprising could be starting. Iran, which backs both hamas and hezbollah, is working to fan the rage even further. Irans president calling on muslim nations to isolate israel, impose an oil embargo and bring revenge. We begin tonight with nbcs Ellison Barber at the ellison i know you have spoken to a gaza resident. What are you hearing about it . Yeah, we spoke to a couple of people who are inside gaza shortly after President Biden finished his meetings and left israel. One person we spoke to, he said he is not entirely sure if this humanitarian agreement holds. He is not entirely sure that the aid will get to the people who need it the most. He also said he was disappointed that there were not more discussions, more of a focus on what he described as the root causes of this conflict. Listen. Which is extremely scarce ripped apart and most areas of the gaza strip, it was massive logistical and administrative task. Violence to stop. President biden should focus his efforts on that, in particular. The aid into this place. He said, they desperately need aid inside, but even once that aid, if it gets in there, that it would be very difficult, given the situation inside of gaza right now, four to possibly get to the places that it needs to go. In this humanitarian deal that the president announced after meeting with Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and the israeli cabinet, he says that egypt has agreed, as well as israel, to allow this aid to cross from egyptian territory into gaza through the sole land crossing, there the rafah crossing. We know there are massive amounts of aid at the border just waiting to get in. Egyptian red crescent, they have said their Storage Units in that area are full of supplies. The eu has sent humanitarian aid in, as well as other groups. Right now, it is at that border, not able to cross. But as we are listening to these discussions, i think to keep in mind is that there are other groups involved in this. Its not just egypt, israel and the United States that needs to be on board with the plan to get people humanitarian aid. There is also hassan side of gaza. Theres also Islamic Jihad. And so far we have not heard from any of those groups inside of in terms of this plan to allow aid to cross into southern gaza. There are also, i will remind people there was a moment a week ago where we thought the rafah Border Crossing was going to be open, so that foreign nationals could leave and foreign aid could come in. That did not happen. But there is no doubt, Alicia Menendez, that humanitarian aid is desperately needed the lines of people waiting just to get bread. He also sent us a video showing how his family they are from gaza city, but they have relocated south how they are scooping in buckets water out of what can only be described as a fairly dirty pool that is nearby the area where they are staying, to then port in the toilet so that they can flush it. He said they have no water and they have no access to basic necessities right now. Alicia . A humanitarian crisis. Indeed ellison, it may be the 11th hour here. Its a little after six a. M. Where you are. Whats been happening overnight . Its been relatively quiet on the section of the border artillery bombardments, we have not seen any of rockets coming in and either this section but we have been looking at the gaza skyline, where you can sometimes see it through the fog from where we are right now, here and there we see pockets of orange glowing, a bombardment strikes taking place inside of gaza. Alicia . What Ellison Barber at the israel gaza border. Ellison, as always, thank you. With that lets bring in our lead off panel, former fbi special agent clint watts. Hes also a consultant to the fbis Counterterrorism Division and in an assembly see Msnbc National Security analyst. Michael mcfaul, former u. S. Ambassador to russia and msnbc International Affairs analyst. Ambassador michael mcfaul, i want to begin with you. This is President Bidens second wartime trip. Your biggest take away from his visit to israel . I am glad President Biden is the president of the United States. This is exactly what we need to be doing. This is super hard work. He is trying to support an ally, and their right to self defense. And at the same time prevent a bigger war and, at the same time, provide humanitarian assistance to the palestinians, as you were just talking about. That is a very difficult multitask that he is trying to pull off. But better him than anybody else. I would also say the same about secretary blinken. What he has done, while everybody else is talking about what should be done, and standing on the sidelines, they are trying to accomplish these goals and, so far they may fail, lets be clear, we are early on but so far, i am deeply impressed with this diplomatic effort. Ambassador, lets talk about the second and third part of your answer. I want you to take a listen to some of what President Biden told netanyahu today. Israel, as they respond to this attacks, it seems to me that have to continue to ensure that you have what you need to defend yourselves. And we are going to make sure that occurs, as you know. And we have to also bear in mind that hamas does not represent all the palestinian people. And has brought them only suffering. It also means encouraging lifesaving capacity to help the palestinians who are innocent, caught in all the middle of this. Its not power our example its the world is looking. Israel has a values set like the United States does. And other democracies. And looking to see what we are going to do. Ambassador, the significance of an american president traveling to israel to share that message. Exact. I just think its spot on. I could not corrected any, way shape or form. Maybe a slight when i correct is, we dont actually know what the palestinian support for hamas is or not, because its a dictatorship. They have not had an election there for a long time. But trying to do both, as he did, we are going to support you, we are going to provide Military Assistance to support you, you have the right to self defense. And at the same time, we need to help you and help everyone limit casualties inside gaza. I think that is exactly the right message. And i would note, i think it is in israels National Security interests to do the same. Its not in their interest to have civilian casualties in gaza. I think they appreciate that. And i think having biden say it as well helps them. And the last thing i want to say, you rightly were talking to you reporter before we got on. What is hamas doing to help palestinians . We have our agreement. We have the agreement with the israelis and the egyptians. We heard nothing with respect to whether they are going to allow this assistance to come in. So, at a time when the people in palestine need help and i 100 support that it is the United States of america that is doing it. It is not hamas, it is not jinping xi jinping alleviate their suffering. Clint watts, nbc reports this just flooding social media with calls for violence. I wonder, as you watch this, what are you watching for. And how concerned are you about what it is we can see yeah, across the board, every group is taking some sort of an angle. Every Extremist Group is taking some sort of an angle based on the conflict and what their positions would predictably be. I think what im most concerned about is, when do we see specific language around targeting and mobilization. You could think back to domestic events inside the United States, or specific calls to jihad for Osama Bin Laden dating back over the past 20 years. With a typically do, and when their concern should rise, is when they specific targets at specific times and specific dates. And we have not seen that yet. But the first indication that we could be going down that path was the protests that sprung up overnight based on the first headlines that came out about that hospital. So, just looking forward and trying to understand a little bit about how this might go, i think we need to look for how we have incidents popov, how quickly information gets relayed in social media. People tend to believe that which they see firsthand, at which they see the most. There is a lot of propaganda out there right now. And so as the truth thats why Intelligence Community to do what they did today was really put forward information that only they could know about the actual exact and the rocket, the errant rocketed hit a Hospital Area just yesterday. Clint watts, dhs warning of a heightened threat environment for jews, for muslims in the u. S. Up against right now . Yeah, so, a couple components to this. The first one is the organized groups that we are always looking at to see if they are planning upon an attack and picking targets. Thats what we are looking for in the social media space. Do they pick an event . They pick a series of targets . But the other part is the media and terrorism, which is always a big risk, especially in the post ices era and leading up to, it which was, if there is some sort of a call for terrorism, there is someone that maybe has no direct communication with a terrorist group, that decides they are motivated about the doing it on their own. That essentially seems to be what we have seen yesterday in brussels, with two people being shot in the streets and another wounded. The worry is, the pace of those could increase, and every time you have an attack like that, it could be something that inspires another attack that is in a similar vein. Ambassador michael mcfaul, while you had putin front and center with chinas xi jinping today. Im wondering how you see that specific contrast, especially as you have the United States brought in with in the middle east. I would say a couple of. Things they are at the belt and road initiative, the tenth anniversary talking about that initiative. That is a xi jinping initiative, not a Vladimir Putin initiative. Its really his show, not putins. Number two, as i said before, i dont see any initiative from either china or russia to try to do anything to resolve the crisis, to help palestinians. Who is being called as the United States of america . I would just remind you, months ago, where we are talking about how china was going to fill the vacuum that the United States has left in the middle east with the saudis and the iranians. They have not shown up to do that. But number three, putin enjoys this. Because we are talking about a different war. We are talking about a different crimes against humanity, alleged or not. We are not talking about what he is doing inside ukraine. And that is good for Vladimir Putin. Ambassador michael mcfaul, you have President Biden giving a primetime address tomorrow. I wonder what it is you think he will say to the nation, and the congress. One, im glad hes doing it. I think he needs to explain to the American People what our interests are in being engaged, what our values are, and what he has been saying in the middle east he now needs to say to the American People. Number two, i am glad he is bringing together this war and our support for israel with ukraine. I think that is right. I think he needs to explain and using this moment to say, provide that Military Assistance now. And number three, and that is a message to the congress. We cannot have an absent congress right now. There is too much going on in the world to not have a partner with the executive branch. And i hope Members Of Congress will hear that message. I hope american citizens will hear that message and put some pressure on the representatives in congress to get their act together, pick a speaker, and then to support this Military Assistance for israel and for ukraine. Talking about that a little bit later in the. Show clint watts ambassador michael mcfaul, thank you so much for getting us started. Coming up, we are going to talk to congressman Jared Moskowitz about President Bidens message today in israel, and the white houses proposal for billions of dollars in aid. And later, in the middle of this conflict, there is still no speaker of the house. Jim jordan lost a second ballot today. And brendan buck if youre on the gop gridlock and what it all means for that aid to israel as the 11th hour gets underway
