on in gaza. deadly attack, those in the south. really forces are headed that way. this is the israeli government faced with tough questions today about what it knew in when after reports from the nbc news in the new york times that intelligence about what hamas was planning, and when. also today the fallout from the historic vote in congress to remove george santos. it may have been information shared by one of his colleagues that sealed his fate. also this, our donald trump hitting the campaign trail in iowa. the will wake up two losses on his claims of immunity due to presidential -- and we will speak with charles blow about his new documentary, from south to power. we want to start this hour in the middle east for prime minister benjamin netanyahu wrapped up the prime -- as israeli forces wrap up operations in gaza. here's some of what was said. >> translator: we maintain a very firm negotiation under fire, from morning tonight. i discussed extensively with president biden. we exerted pressure on the mediators in order to improve the outline. >> joining me now msnbc news correspondent david noriega on the ground for us in tel aviv. okay, there are -- okay. i am getting some breaking news from our control room. hence the reason why i paused for a second. we are getting air raid sirens on the ground in israel. david noriega had to seek safety. we are gonna get back to him in just a moment. we certainly want to check in on what has been happening over the 24 hours or so. we want to bring in, for now, david miller a former arab israeli negotiator for the state department who now serves at the -- thank you for being ready for. us >> thanks for having me. >> covering war is certainly a very difficult thing to do. coupling that with law television is also difficult, and with the aryan times going on. thank you. i want to talk, first, about the new york times reporting in what we are getting here at nbc, as well. the new york times essentially laying out that israel had caught wind of these plans by hamas to carry out something pretty similar to what happened on october 7th. nbc news is now learninghat our reporting suggesting it was three months. either way, this reporting suggests that they had a heads up. what do you make of it? who should be held responsible? >> as a former intelligence analyst i know that even though the dots may be present, connecting the dots is critically important. in this case, and one analyst in particular connected the dots and laid out a pretty compelling scenario. but that is not all that is required. you need to get the connected dots and develop a consensus in the develop in the community and present it to the decision-makers. i think that in this case, it was incredibly credible but there was very little consensus among the israeli military intelligence, hamas had the intention or the capability to pull off the sort of operation. i think it was a failure, in the end, of imagination. to imagine that hamas actually had the capacity to do this. it is not surprising at all to me that this never made it to the decision-makers, particularly the prime minister. >> who should be held responsible? >> there will be a state commission of inquiry, as there was a 1973. that took 60 months to file an interim report. the meir government, even though the prime minister was not held accountable, the prime minister resigned in the face of public pressure. i have very little doubt, particularly since this involves the death of so many civilians, that the current government of israel, the current prime minister of israel, will ultimately held responsible. if you and i are talking next year at the time i think -- i would make a bet that this government will not be in power. >> we are getting word the israeli officials have withdrawn from negotiations, they have left the table, they have left qatar. what does that signal to you about the possibility of a future pauses, future hostage exchanges? >> i think as long as there are hostages the prospect of reopening that channel, hostages for prisoners, is probably going to happen at some point. the problem is in that instance our understanding is the deals broke down. israelis and wanted the women, which they were prioritizing. hamas said they either didn't have them or they failed to deliver them. i think it didn't help that these rallies, three were killed in jerusalem and hamas claimed responsibility for it. the israeli military is traumatized by their responsibility for what happened on october 7th. it is eager, i think, to get back to a ground campaign to see if they can fulfill their objectives. which is to destroy hamas's military capacity above and below ground. i think that is what we are about to witness in the days and weeks ahead. maybe months. maybe the months ahead. >> we know that the biden administration, secretary blinken who was in israel over the last few days, urging as they resume this war as a resume this fighting to minimize civilian deaths. not only in gaza city in the north but in the south as they are striking the south, as well. secretary blinken at one point said that they must account for innocent civilians. i'm not quite sure what that means or how the idf intends to do that. i will say this, the idf has published a map. on its website showing a 25 mile long densely populated gaza strip. it is split into hundreds of tiny, as you can see on between their, numbered zones. the military has said, er, this map was intended to enable residents to, quote unquote, evacuate from targeted areas. what do you kef this? is this enough? >> look, i look at that map an the logic behind it is, presumably, if you have a q r code and you have internet accessibility, and power, you could be notified to move from area to 39 to 2 40 to 41. that could be a kilometer, it could be two kilometers. it will detach you from whatever humanitarian assistance you are receiving. how long will there be food? will there be shelter there for you? whether this is performative or not, i don't know. i do not believe the government or the military is willfully trying to kill civilians. i do believe, however, that they are determined to get at hamas. i do not see how you do that, operating in highly dense populated areas. gathers 21,000 humans per square mile. in rafah, it is even more dense. i don't know how you do that and keep civilian safe. that is the real challenge. -- >> sorry, i didn't mean to cut you off. i want to read from a piece that you wrote to the president over the last month or so since the ocber 7th attacks. how he has performed as president, as a go-between. you say this. despite all of the criticism and the grim dust hole among palestinian and israelis and given the constraints with things beyond his conol biden has fared pretty well so far in preserving u.s. interests and preventing matters from getting worse. where the crisis where so many moving parts that is no small achievement. can you talk to me more about this? >> that judgment my coauthor stephen simon has already raised a lot of controversy. 15,000 palestinians dead. gaza as a humanitarian catastrophe. how can you give the president high marks given vote realities. given who joe biden is, given the terrorist surge in october 7th. given the fact that without bidens intersection you would've had no hostages returned. without biden's intersection there would've been no aid getting into southern gaza. without bidens intersection i suspect having dissuaded the israelis from preempting in the early days of this conflict against hezbollah and lebanon, they could've triggered a broader war. i think the president, on balance, all of the constraints is doing about all he can do. he is not going to be able, unless he is prepared to shank shun the israelis, not just advise and impose consequences on them. but if he sales to he the menstruation's warning on minimizing civilian deaths, he was not prepared to do that. he is not going to dissuade these rallies from their objectives giving the trauma they've been through. i do not believe, frankly, whether it was republican or democratic president. i have worked in both administrations. american presidents do not, as a rule, like to fly with israeli prime ministers. in a non crisis situation, or in a crisis situation. it is awkward, it is messy, you can be costly. and largely, frankly, it never works and that i think is a dilemma that the administration is going to face >> aaron david miller, as always, we value your analysis on this, thank you i want to go now to david noriega where a raid sirens sounded minutes ago. he had to seek safety. he is back in front of the camera now. david, thank you for joining us. thankfully all is good. the prime minister spoke today as a whole lot is unfolding with military operations resuming in the report from nbc news in the new york times that the warnings of more attacks by hamas. and you talk us more on what you have heard from the prime minister today? >> reporter: these are extremely important, potentially consequential reports we are hearing. there was some pointing early in the war indicating that israel was not as entirely caught by surprise by this attack is a initially themed. this is potentially politically consequential because netanyahu was deeply unpopular in israel the general sense on the ground they only have him in power because he is prosecuting this war. if you were to lose an important part of the coalition and be forced to run an election he would almost certainly would lose it. for now israeli authorities are not responding to the substance of this reporting. they are saying that they need to finish fighting this war. and then we'll turn to investigating whatever failures need to be investigator on that day. back to you. >> as the idf, dave, it is picking up this offensive we are also learning that israeli officials have withdrawn from negotiations. that ithey have left qatar, thee no longer at the table. where does that leave us especially when it comes to negotiating the release of these mermaiding hostages? >> the way things stand now the mediations are dead and they do not show any signs of picking back up again anytime soon. that is despite pressure from the u.s., pressure from the qataris. both israel and hamas are saying either they won't negotiate or they are saying they will only negotiate in the terms that it is highly unlikely the sides will meet. in the meantime we have the military offensive picking up quite intensely in gaza. the idf says it has struck more than 400 targets over the resumed hostilities the gaza health ministry says that more than 20 people have died, most of whom they say are civilian, women and children. the idf says it does not target civilians. it also point to the fact that it is given residents of gaza, particularly people in southern ghana, many of whom were displaced from the north, detailed orders on where to evacuate. however, we have teams on the ground inside gaza who have been interviewing people over the past couple of days. they have asked people this question of how they've been told to evacuate. i want to play you clips from a couple of those interviews because i think it gives you a sense of how people are responding to the possibility of needing to evacuate again. take a listen. of needing to evacuate again take a listen. >> reporter: there is nowhere safe. where do we go? we are not going to the north. we are going to stay where we are. this is displacement. >> reporter: in my opinion, this is displacement. >> translator: people will die in khan yunis because they cannot leave. >> reporter: people in gaza are afraid. not only that they will pick up casualties from this war but also that they might be permanently displaced. back to you. >> david, quickly here as you had to leave your position, your camera, because of the aerate siren earlier, can you talk us through what happened? >> it's funny, i have been here for about two weeks. most of the time has been dedicated to reporting on the cease-fire graham and. the actual cease-fire itself and then the exchange of hostages. this is not the first time i've been in tel aviv when the sirens gone off. this is by far the closest i have been. this is really my first experience with that. it's a clear indication of the fact that this is, once again, a country at war. obviously the way we experience this from tel aviv is very different than the way it experienced from the people bearing the brunt of it gaza. but it is alarming. >> dave noriega, thank you. we appreciate it. coming up in just 60 seconds, george santos gets the boot from congress. we will take you to his district and see how voters are responding. and ipad and apple watch se - all on us. only on verizon. my frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. for one and done heartburn relief, prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. welcome back. george santos has been formally expelled from congress. he is certainly not going quietly. tweeting that he will file ethics reports across four republicans. however, as a private citizen those complaints could have a lot less impact. joining me now -- part of what was santos's district. arizona, start with you. what do we know about those complaints that santos is threatening? how did yesterday exactly unfold? >> we are getting some reaction to these threats, if you will, from santos. we should back up. this santos expulsion really picked up steam with the health ethics committee that found she appeared to have broken several federal laws during his 2022 campaign. there were members of the house waiting for that report, waiting for that before deciding where they stood on whether santa should be allowed to be stay in congress are not. santos saw the writing on the wall yesterday as that vote was coming to the house floor. in the end we know that more than two thirds of the members, the proportion needed to expel a congressman decided that santa needed to go. we saw him on the floor there in dramatic fashion. throwing his overcoat on. walking off the floor as the vote was coming to a close yesterday afternoon. 311 members voted in favor of his removal. at that moment he was no longer a member of congress. his name was removed from his office. the locks were changed as the afternoon rolled on. we know at this point the former congressman went on to x, the former trader platform, and city plan to file ethics complaint from four congressman from his area. mike lawler, nicole melia talk, is all republicans of new york. robin and, as a democrat of new jersey. we have heard from some of their offices at this point calling santos a serial liar, a con man. essentially saying they're not going to waste the time worrying about him too much. there was a statement from representative menendez's office. part of that saying that we would not expend any energy responding to his botox fueled fits of rage. we will see if in fact santos does file these complaints with the house ethics office on monday. and if that actually mean something, what it means, exactly, coming from a private citizen now. >> those are some fighting words. aaron gilchrist, thank you. appreciate. a great, you are in the district that santos represented, past tense. how are residents they're reacting? how are >> good afternoon, yasm. the way that voters in this district are reacting to the santas activation in his removal from congress is they are really looking for some transparency. they're looking to turn a new page, a new leaf so to speak. the way they're hoping to do that is, of course, with a new special election. according to new york state law the way that special election will take place is new york governor kathy hochul is legally required to declare that special election in ten days. that special election will take place 70 to 80 days after the governor's declaration. when we spoke to some of these voters, the one thing they're looking for in candidates, whether it is a republican a democrat, is someone who's going to talk about the issues that they really want to. dressed inflation, the economy, crime. take a listen to some of the things they had to say a little bit earlier today. >> anwar's radically pleas that he was finally going to be taken out. he should have been taken out immediately. >> i thought he deserved a. at the same time i almost feel sad for him. going through what he's going through. but he hasn't shown any remorse at all. it is hard to feel sorry for him. >> i don't think it is a positive thing for this district. it kind of is a stain on history. it can't be erased. it is unfortunate that this is what we are known for now. >> it is also important, abyad man, this is a district that although democrats have had a lot of success here in the past, joe biden won this district in 2020 by eight points. before santos it was represented by democrats for ten years. every person in this area is looking for someone who will address their needs. we know that this is going to be a district that will get a lot of bipartisan support because it could be a harbinger of what we could expect it november 2024. house democrats are looking to take control of the house again they know this is something they are gonna be keeping a close eye on. yasmin? >> greg hyatt, thank you. appreciated. still ahead, a live report from the reagan national defense forum where the israel hamas wars at the top of the gender. we are still following breaking news in the philippines. after being struck by some parts of manitou dock recurrently today. look at the dangers of former president trump getting a second term. we are going to talk about that with new york times columnist charles blow. plus a new documentary on a daring strategy for black americans to move south to potentially gain greater political power. we will be right back. running this kitchen.
