Israel. Israel Defense Forces now say iran and their proxy forces in iraq, yemen, and lebanon launched around 350 rockets and missiles into israel overnight. Most of them shot down before they could do any he damage. But these attacks are threatening to escalate and already volatile, very dangerous situation in the middle east today, israels war cabinet met to go over options for response to iran unprecedented firstever direct attack. On israel from iran cabinet member benny gantz said vowing israel will exact a price from iran, doesnt abide meeting with other g7 leaders to virtually looking for a diplomatic path forward cnn has are correspondence around the globe covering all these late breaking developments for us, its a rapidly developing situation that unfolding right now in the middle east. And i want to start with Jeremy Diamond. Hes joining us from jerusalem right now. Jeremy, what are you hearing from officials there about todays war Cabinet Meeting . Well welfare, israels war cabinet met for nearly five hours today. The topic of discussion was of course, to focus on how israel will respond to this unprecedented largescale attack that iran launched against israel in the early hours of this morning, more than 300 missiles and Drones Jones Directed at israel and although only a few of those Ballistic Missiles actually made it through israel and the United States air defense assets in the region hitting an Israeli Air Base and causing with the Israeli Military has described as light damage. Despite that, the Israeli Government and its military feel have vowed that they will respond. No matter what the question now is, what is the scale and the scope of that response going to be . And despite the nearly five hours of deliberations, im told that the israeli war Cabinet Meeting ended today without a clear decision about exactly how israel will respond. Instead, the israeli million military has been tasked with coming up with additional Military Options for the israeli war cabinet to consider. But in the meantime, we are hearing from some members of israels government, including the former defense minister, a member of the war cabinet, benny gantz, who has said that israel will quote, exact a price from iran in a way and time that suits us. The israeli Prime Minister is also already coming under pressure from his right wing, including the finance minister bezalel smotrich, the National Security minister, itamar ben gvir, both of them saying that the israeli response should be firm with bengvir saying, israel should quote, go crazy in its military fonts against iran. Iran for its part, has said that its attack against israel has been concluded. They have described it as retaliation for that israeli strike that. Took out a Senior Iranian commander in a iranian consular building in damascus, but they have said that if israel carries out an attack on iran then iran will once again retaliate a very dangerous backandforth wolf that could quickly escalate. Yeah, it could explode at any minute. I were watching this closely. Then wed have been is also watching this closely. Hes joining us from beirut right now ben, were getting new details about raining and officials, warnings two neighboring nations prior to these attacks, what more you learning about those conversations well, yes, what we learned from scott mclean, our colleague in istanbul, is that iranian officials warned the turks that this was going to happen, that there would be an attack the turks pass that message on to the americans and obviously it ended up i said the israelis were aware as well and it really wasnt a huge surprise that it happened given how much talk about it proceeded, the attacks, we know that the runin Foreign Minister in the preceding days was in touch with many of his counterparts across, for instance, the Persian Gulf Region as well and in the aftermath of last night strikes, what were seeing is that there was a really sharp intake of breath across the region for many of the regime things that are very concerned about the spread of the conflict from gaza well beyond there. You have, for instance, a a lot of popular anger at arab regimes that have condemned israel, but really done little else to help the people of gaza so what we heard, for instance, is King Abdullah had a conversation with President Joe Biden in which he said that the best solution to avoiding an escalation avoiding perhaps even a regional war is to stop the gaza war immediately. And i think the impression of most of the leaders in the region is it the United States does have the where with all the influence over israel to actually make that happen. And certainly the events of last night really underscore the need for some sort of calming down of this situation. Not just between iran and israel, but the heart of the matter, which of course is the war in gaza, wolfe any indication hamas though . It release those remaining hostages that may still be alive well what it appears is that those negotiations have once more hit a wall. There doesnt seem to be an agreement even though we saw william burns, the head of the cia, coming to the region, meeting with a cut 30 egyptian officials israeli officials, trying to work something out, but it appears yet again, after months of trying these negotiations are not bearing any fruit. Now, for instance, hamas says they simply cannot come up with 40 hostages that fit the categories that the israelis are looking for. Women, children, the elderly. They say that until theres some sort of cessation of hostilities in gaza, at least temporarily theyre not even a people to find out who is where as far as the hostage is concerned, who is holding those hostages. So a ceasefire regardless, an unconditional ceasefire would perhaps prepare the grounds for a breakthrough on the issue of the hostages on the issue of the more than 8,000 palestine get in prisoners and date dnase detainees in his rarely jails. But certainly the desire the demand of regimes across region is that the war in gaza six months, almost 34,000 people dead. The war has got to stop. Yeah. All right. Can we have been in beirut for us Jeremy Diamond in jerusalem to both of you. Thank you very much. Meanwhile, President Biden spoke with several World Leaders today, including as we just noted, King Abdullah of jordan, cnns Priscilla Alvarez is over at the white house for us. Priscilla, what are officials . Theyre saying about these discussions . Well, they say that in those calls, the president and other leaders have strongly condemned irans attacks against israel. But of course wolf, the focus here at the white house is trying to contain the risk of a wider regional conflict. This has been front and center on the minds of us officials here since those october 7 terrorist attacks. Now, President Biden did meet with the g7 leaders today and call that was meant to quote, coordinate a united diplomatic response. The keyboard there is diplomatic during that call they talked about. They put an emphasis on nonmilitary actions us officials have since described the call as constructive, but they wouldnt provide details as to what actions specifically. Were talking word discussed, but what is the resounding message from that . And also from the white houses that the us will not participate in a response with israel and in terms of any retaliation against iran, in fact, in the call that the president and how with the israeli Prime Minister last night, the president made clear that the us will not participate in any offensive action against iran. Instead advising these really Prime Minister to think strategically and carefully about his next steps. Now, the us assessment here is that the israel was largely successful they were able to defend themselves. And there was no major damage to infrastructure within israel. Take a listen to what National SecurityCouncil Spokesperson john kirby had to say about last nights attacks think about what they threw at israel, right, several hundred drones and missiles over the course of a few hours and what damage did they cause . Not very much. I mean, it was an incredible effort by israel, but also it shows that iran is not the Military Power weight that they, they claimed now according to a Senior Administration official, israel is not looking for escalation, but of course the big question is, what steps israel does take moving forward and whether israel Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu will take President Bidens advice. All of those are open questions. Here at the white house. But what does remain clear is that they do not want to see this spread any further. Wolf, sorry, priscilla. Thank you. Priscilla alvarez over at the white house for us. Lets discuss whats going on right now with democratic congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi of illinois congressman. Thanks so much for joining us and give us your perspective because youre well plugged in how unprecedented was this iranian attack against israel but weve never seen anything like it certainly we dont remember a time when iran launched attacks directly from its soil onto his rarely soil. Now, thankfully President Biden, working with a regional partners, including the jordanians, were able to shoot down most of these missiles and drones before they did damage but what i would say is that at this point we should focus most of our attention on the National Security supplemental sitting before congress because right now it says somebody hello, said the other de, a churchill or chamberlain moment either we stand up to aggressors from tehran to moscow, to beijing and deter aggression and pass the supplemental or we appease them. And thats really whats at stake in congress. And so thats what we have to do there. And then finally i would just say that the parties have to be forced to the table and we have to come to an immediate halt to hostilities linked to hostages being returned and massive humanitarian aid entering the gaza strip. I know youre back in your Home District in illinois. This weekend. Your key member of the house intelligence committee. Have you already been in briefed on whats going on no, not yet when we were in washington on friday, we received information and classified setting and then ill be getting more tomorrow. When youre back here in washington, israel is weighing its response to the israeli president isaac hertz, october today that balance is needed and israel is approaching all this. He said cool heavily. What do you see as the appropriate next step for israel . I personally obviously its up to the israelis and their war cabinet and their government. However, i think at this point they i think had a victory last night in working with their partners and friends to defeat the Massive Attack that ron undertook and now they working with us should look to see how we can stand united against further aggression. And we, in the will also have the space. So to speak, to pass the National Security supplemental, any kind of escalation, any kind of wider for war or hostilities there will make it harder, not easier for us to do the work that we need to do in washington. And so i would just respectfully requests are friends to not escalate and take this to a wider regional war that could spiral out a control instead, allow us to do our work past the National Security supplemental help fund, the david sling, the arrow program, the iron dome programs, which proved proof. So successful last night in defeating those missile attacks, were you surprised that 99 of those rockets and missiles the armed drones that were coming in towards israel were intercepted by israel, by the us and the uk and other friendly countries in the region 99 pretty good. I think look, i think that i think that is a testament to President Bidens leadership as well. In pre positioning assets, so that we are in a position to help coordinate with the jordanians, with the british, with the french in partnership with israeli hes where the missiles and drones are going and then taking them down before they can do damage. The images from last night were pretty stark. A lot of missiles were coming in all at once. But thankfully, the idf working with partners were able to make the most of the technology that weve jointly funded. Yeah, i knew that technology, the iron dome and davids sling and the arrow, were all very, very impressed with the Patriot Air Defense missile system. All of that is really amazing, but i had no idea that it would be able to knock out hundreds of these incoming rockets and missiles as quickly. And here theres a effectively as they did and heres the thing, wolf, which is that in funding the security supplemental, we would help to replenish the iron dome. Wed have to help them modernize the air. David, davids sling and aerosystems. And remember, any kind of escalation of this conflict could trigger hezbollah entering the picture they have 150,000 missiles which could make last night look like a stroll in the park. So lets not go there. We dont want a wider war that spirals out of control. If you know, bending of your democratic colleagues in the house are extremely concerned over the way israel is conducting the war against hamas in gaza. Youre saying Northern Gaza has now entered a period of famine the israeli president isaac herzog told me a couple of hours ago that israel has not using starvation as a weapon wanting to listen to what he said how do you respond to allegations that israel is using starvation potentially as a weapon of war . Weapon of war. Those are strong words. No way it would be a War Crime God forbade the god forbid. We have no intention to do that. We take any measures necessary according to International Humanitarian law i if Samantha Powers while i respect as any real Information Data that can be tested, our people are always available. We are working very closely with the United States and with many other allies to test on an hourly basis the situation in gaza as ive said, theres a huge influx of importation of humanitarian aid to gaza and i reject as far as i know, i reject this claim so congressman krishnan murthy, whats your reaction to what we just heard i hope mr. Herzog is right. However, the impact or effect of whats happening now cannot be denied. As jose and wrote in a very eloquent oped in the New York Times the other day we are seeing a situation that demands demands massive humanitarian aid and food aid. We can have a situation where anyone is facing starvation especially the children, but any innocence in gaza. And we have to remember, were talking about millions of people who are there right now congressmen, Raja Krishnamoorthi facts as usual for joining us thank you all have felt the cotton irans attack on israel has crossed a key threshold in the tensions between the two countries how israels reaction in any helped the us provides could impact the ongoing conflict theres debris and less by parents, husbands and wives were so i could have done something differently.
