Bue mj lee has led the prident also told netanyu now,ho do United States wod not ke against an . Fensive opern man is covering this story from around the globe. We ve Cnns Kevin Liptak, as well as Kylie Atwood Standing by In Washington. I want to begin with our Jeremy Diamond, who has made his way to Northern Israel Jeremy that front seat more action last nightith crossborder rocket fire from hezbollah. But in terms of the iranian attack against israel, there was a limited amount of despite this extraordinary attack from iran Going Forward this sunday, what do we know . Hello, about how israel is considering a potential Counter Attack against iran well, i like theres no question that israel feels like it must respond to what is an unprecedented and largescale attack by iran. The first iranian attack directly against israeli soil, more than 300 projectiles drones, and missiles that were fired in the direction of israeli territory, even though, as you mentioned, a very few actually made it through israels air defenses. Only a few Ballistic Missiles, according to the Israeli Military, struck the nevatim, airbase in Southern Israel, causing what they have described as a light minimal damage to that facility. Now, in terms of what israel will do Going Forward, i just got off the phone within israeli official who said that israels war cabinet is set to convene an hour, perhaps time. And this will be a major meeting to try options in tail. And what i was told well attack has yet to win awards. This source quote, break all of the dishes or thing decision about whether or not to do down the current paradigm that exists in iraq israel related ll right, jeremy, i apologize to cut you off. We are having some trouble with your audio. Were going to try to get you back. Theres a lot more to discuss on this very busy day. Christiane yes, indeed. And today, President Biden plans to meet with gc seven liters, obviously coordinated diplomatic to reonse. Hes promising a quote ironclad commitmt to israels security against iranian threats Cnns Kevin Liptak joins us now from washington. So what do you expect from that meeting because its very clear, its very clear now that we hear what the actual base target was, the inian say it was the base from which the attack on its consulate was launched. So it seems to be entirely targeted. It waan attack directed at e whole of israel what does e United States pect israel to do now . Well, i think theus right now at the white house and in the Biden Administration is trying to contain the risk of a wider conflict. And you see that coming out d President Bidens conversation with Prime Minister netanyahu yesterday, sources telling us that the president told him that the uwouldnt be involved in offensive an offensive operation against iran. And when you see how the whe house is describing this meeting of g7 liters later today, they say its to create a united diplomatic response. The emphasis there is on the word diplomatic President Biden clearly looking for nonmilitary ways to respond until this, to prevent this from escalating into a wider regional crisis. And i just want to read you a little bit of the president s statement from last night. He said, ive just spoken with Prime Minister netanyahu to reaffirm americas ironclad commitment to the security of israel. The president goes on to say, i told him that israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity city to defend against in defeat, even unprecedented attacks. Sending a clear message to its fos that they cannot effectively threaten the security of israel. And i think reading Between The Lines of that statement and also in talking to us officials, the president is saying here to netanyahu, you were successful these strikes x did not land on anything of significance. Most of them were intercepted, essentially saying, take the win and dont respond in a fashion that could cause this situation to blow up. Now, how netanyahu responds to that remains to be seen. This is, of course coming at a moment of deep tension between President Biden and netanyahu over the war. And gaza. And certainly the limits of american influence have been exposed in that conflict when it comes to humanitarian aid. So certainly the focus for President Biden today is mounting this diplomatic response to prevent further escalation. Christina and kevin, as you know, that leverages military and President Biden apparently said that that would be conditional if the humanitarian situation in gaza wasnt resolved. So well see what that means if netanyahu defies Anydvice To Go into iran. But heres the thing. Former israeli Prime Minister and form mossad director cnn this morning have botwarned netanyu to quote, look at The Big Picture as you say, take the win d just dont do anything for reven. And remember, according to ehud ro that theres still stuck in gaza. Thestill dont have the hostages back. There are still people people, you know, right now currently dying of famine in gaza. And i wonder whether the us what, what is the us sort of discussion with netanyahu to try to stop, him from, any bigger war with iran. While this huge thing is going on in gaza, that Aects Isrl Serity Standing in the world yeah, and i think that is sort of the argument that youre going to hear from american officials is that israels own security would not benefit from a wider regional war. But at the same time american officials are certainly mindful of the very intense Polical Pressure that netanyahu is facing in his own country. And certainly there are so us ofcials who do ar that because of tha pressure, nenyahu could be trying to pull the us closer to this conflict in more direct conflict with iranand certainly the hope of the Biden Administration, the overriding hope and really the only hope is for this hostage deal to come through. Gaza that would result in a temporary ceasefire. Just today, we have heard from hamas that they have rejected the latest proposal essentially that their demands remain for a full ceasefir and so that work remains to be bidens Real Orriding Apoach to this is to try and secure that high stitch deal that would create space for more diplomacy in the region that would allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. But as of now that remai outf reach. A so it does remain Uncleawhat Exaly the next eps are. Certainly american Officials Say they will continue to pursue that hostage deal until its reached until there those hostagesre out of gazabut present biden, certainly very focused on preventing the wider conflict th morning kevin liptak. Thank you. I want to get straight back to Jeremy Diamond with reestablish that connection. Jeremy, i want to pick up where kevin just left off in terms that Ceasefire Deal which is the Vitamin Station and considers as the key to unlocking so much more, including potentially an end to the war. Youve just gotten a statement from the Prime Ministers office about these its ongoing negotiations. What did it say yeah, thats right. The is Prime Ministers office in a statement saying that hamas has rejected the latest ceasefire agreement proposal. This comes despite the fact that over the course of the last several weeks, the israeli position really has moved in several quite significant ways in terms of the number of people who could return to Northern Gaza for example, the number of Palestinian Prisoners who would be released in exchange for some 40 israeli hostages being held in captivity in gaza and yet not moved enough to match hamas demands. Hamas rejecting this proposal according to a diplomatic source, because of the fact that israel is still not allowing, not willing to allow unfettered access to the gaza strip, totally unrestricted. And also regarding the withdrawal of israeli troops in central gaza along that netzarim corridor, which separates northern from Southern Gaza in this statement the Prime Ministers office says that israel will quote, continue to pursue the realization of the goals of the war against hamas with strength. And so reading the tea leaves here, alex, i think that, that very much suggests that israel could indeed move forward with its planned Military Operation in rafah, a major Ground Offensive which the United States, of course, has sought to deter to convince israel not to pursue arguing instead for a more, more limited operations in rafah to go after hamas is senior leadership. And so amid all of these regional tensions, amid the israeli war cabinet set to meet today to discuss a potential response to a rons largescale and unprecedented attack on Israel Last Night the israeli war cabinet, and the Israeli Military is also very much preparing for the next steps of its war in gaza against hamas yeah, the us hoping that that israel not undertake another military offensive, the one in rafah that you just mentioned, Jeremy Diamond in northern israel. Thank you very much. And while President Joe Biden says that the United States will not participate in any israeli offensive. Again, iran, american destroyers did help take down some of those 300 iranian projectiles that were fired at Israel Last Night. Rons army says that if the us does participate, then us bases will be dealt with. I want to bring in cnns kylie atwood, who is at the State Department. Kylie overnight night with these 300 drones and missiles that were fired at israel, how significant was the us support for israel and in terms of interceptions and how do you think that plays into how Israel Considers its next moves . Well, listen, we know that us and is it really officials were really enjoined lockstep communication throughout the entire course of this barrage of attack that happens over five hours. The numbers prove it, alex, there were according to us officials, more than seven ive indie drones that were intercepted by the us and at least three Ballistic Missiles that were intercepted by the us of course, that contributes to the us assessment that this was largely an unsuccessful attack for the iranians so of course, when israel is taking a step back here figuring out its way forward, it cannot be questioned that the us was sidebyside with israel when they were going through this attack. We should also note that President Biden said that there were not any us facilities or us person so now that were attacked and there was really a really Strong Military presence of the us in the region over the course of the last few months that had been built up, that allow the us to be able to defend israel in this way, we know that the us dwight d. Eisenhower Carrier Strike group was there that includes multiple Missile Destroyer Systems on board. And so the us was militarily set up for this. And i also think its important to note that the us was diplomatically set up for this. The Secretary Of State has i spent the last week making phone calls to his counterpart in the region encouraging all of them that to try and deescalate. Of course, that didnt happen, but there will be followup to that end today, not alone with that g7 meeting that the president is having, but with the Secretary Of States phone calls as well. All right. Carly out, what are the State Department . Thanks so much for that reporting hezbollah in lebanon is taking the opportunity to launch a Rocket Strike on the Israeli Military and israel has since retaliated, will take you live to be root for those details.
