Speaker 1: this as the first usaid begins to arrive in the

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: a message to Hamas and its backers.

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 3: This battle group is here to make sure that the

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: war against Hamas doesn't escalate to a regional war between

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: Israel and many other entities.

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: But the president of Turkey, wretch of type one, is

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: criticizing the US show of support.

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 4: What will we do with the boats and plans that

00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 4: this aircraft carrier is surrounded with table takedown causa by

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: President Biden is vowing full US support for Israel, with

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: the country's full backing, including shipments of munitions and intelligence assistants.

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 5: When Congress returns r and asked them to take urgent

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 5: action to fund the national security requirements of our critical partners.

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 5: The United States has also enhanced our military force posture

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 5: in the region to strengthen hard determs, and we stand

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 5: ready to move in additional assets as needed.

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: In Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin and Yahoo told President Biden

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: he's grateful for the US support.

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 6: Well, I want to thank you for your continued and

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 6: unequivocal support and the work of your entire administration to

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 6: support us. We've never seen such savagery in the history

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 6: of the state, and worse than Isis. They're even worse

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 6: than Isis, and we need to treat them as such.

40
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: And Prime Minister Nataya, who expects a long conflict, we

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: spoke earlier with Israeli military spokesperson Doron Spielman, we.

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 7: Launched over no last number of years operations that were

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 7: limited in scope. I think it's clear to anyone who's

44
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 7: seen the turnage that took place in Israel, the one

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 7: thing to not did for us is they pushed us

46
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 7: into a corner and they said they made us understand

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 7: that we have absolutely no choice but.

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 8: To defeat them.

49
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: Along with Israeli military spokesperson Doron Spielman, we also spoke

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: with Mustapha Barghuti, who leads the Palestinian National Initiative. That's

51
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: a group that advocates for nonviolent resistance.

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 8: I am really worried about the fact that it seems

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 8: that NATAIO doesn't care not only about Palestinian lives, but

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 8: also about the lives of two hundred Israeli prisoners who

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 8: are now in Deza, and many of whom could be

56
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 8: killed if it continues. The airs takes on Gaza Strip.

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: Staff of Bargudi with the Palestinian National Initiative is calling

58
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: for a ceasefire.

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan. As the war rages on, a growing number

60
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: of airlines are suspending traveled to Israel, and we get

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: that story from Bloomberg's Lisa Mateo.

62
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 9: Turkish Airlines is pulling its flights from Tel Aviv until

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 9: further notice. American Airlines extended its suspension through December fourth

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 9: and is working with partner carriers to help those trying

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 9: to lead the city. Finnair is canceling flights until March thirtieth,

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 9: while EasyJet temporarily suspended its service Liftanza Air, France and

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 9: other major US airlines announced their suspensions Monday. So who

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 9: is still flying to Israel? British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, Fly,

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 9: Dubai and Pegasus are operating with adjusted schedules. Lisa Matteo,

Speaker 9: Bloomberg Radio.

71
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: NI Lisa, thank you. After many commercial airlines suspended operations

72
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: in Israel, a growing number of governments are sending aircraft

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: to airlift citizens out of the country. Both Germany and

74
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: France plan to operate evacuation flights well, Nathan.

75
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: The amount of aid to Israel is in question now

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: because of uncertainty in the House. It's been leaderless and

77
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: unable to handle normal business since Hound speaker Kevin McCarthey

78
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: was ousted last week. Republican lawmakers planned to meet the

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,680

80
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,480

Speaker 10: witness both for the sake of the prosecution as well

89
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 10: as someone who's come up in the sake of the defense.

90
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 10: She has come up and immediately said, yes, we did

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 10: commit crimes Sam and I and others. And she said

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 10: that Alameda took several billion dollars from FTX customers and

93
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 10: used it for its own investments and to pay off lenders.

94
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Shanali Basik says Sam bankmin Freed has denied all

Speaker 11: would be the largest corporate takeover announced globally this year,

104
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 11: and Exon's biggest acquisition since merging with Mobile in nineteen

105
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 11: ninety nine. It's a clear bet that oil and gas

106
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 11: will remain central to the world's energy mix, despite the

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,480

Speaker 13: unclear how many could be held.

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,640

00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 14: partners on every aspect of the hostage crisis, including sharing

123
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 14: intelligence and deploying experts from across the US government to

124
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 14: advise the Israeli government and coordinate with them on hostage

125

Speaker 12: While the United States already gives billions of dollars a

130
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 12: year to Israel for security, US lawmakers say Israel can

131
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 12: count on more. Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas says

132
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 12: they'll wait to hear from Israel about how much military

133
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 12: support they'll need.

134
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 8: They'll let us know what they need.

135
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: That the most likely looks like is a deeper magazine,

136
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: so that means more rockets, more hyper as and munitions,

137
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: things like that.

138
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 12: Congressman Crenshaw ssays Israel's defense force is still reeling from

139
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 12: the surprise attacks over the weekend. Also on Capitol Hill,

140
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 12: House Republicans are scrambling to get behind a speaker candidate

141
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 12: before today's party vote, questioning Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio

142
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 12: and Steve Scalise of Louisiana for several hours behind closed

143
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 12: doors about their visions and strategies for the majority. Now,

144
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 12: the congressman who put it all into motion, Florida's Matt Gates,

145
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 12: predicts how today's vote's going to go.

146
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 15: In a world in which only two people are running

147
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 15: for Speaker, it's going to be pretty clear who has

148
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 15: the most support. And once it's clear who of the

149
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 15: two as the most support, I think there's going to

150
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 15: be a tremendous amount of pressure to coalesce around that candidate.

151
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 12: Most Republicans have not announced their support publicly, teeing up

152
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 12: a day of uncertainty as they prepare for what could

153
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 12: be several secret ballid votes for Speaker. Global News twenty

187
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 16: the first game was at Tampa Bay. The Lightning beat

188
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,600

189
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,040

190
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 16: six games last year, but they had the first pick

191
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 16: of the draft and took Connor Bedard, only eighteen years old,

192
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 16: expected to be a generational talent. He had assist in

193
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 16: his NHL debut, and then they hoisted the Stanley Cup

194
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 16: banner in Vegas. Golden Knights got thirty two Saints and

195

Speaker 18: Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

201
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager concerns about a wider war

202
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: in Israel may be building, with the fight against Hamas

203
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: now into its fifth day. As Israel continues to pound

204
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Hamas targets in Gaza with airstrikes to the south, the

205
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: Lebanese militant group Hesbelah says it is now entering the

206
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: fray with rocket attacks against Israel to the north. For

207
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: the latest, we're joined by Bloomberg News Israel bureau chief

208
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: Ethan Brawner in Tel Aviv once again with us this morning. So, Ethan,

209
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: what is the latest that we're hearing about these Hesbelas

210
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: strikes and the concern that this could lead to a

211
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: wider conflict for Israel.

212
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: Well, yes, so there have been some strikes, as you said,

213
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: and in the israelis hit anti tank missiles at the

214
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: border post. I think an enormous concern. I it's it's

215
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 4: the main reason, of course that the United States sent

216
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: the USS Gerald R Ford and its battle fleet to

217
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: the eastern Mediterranean to send a very distinct message to

218
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 4: his Bela and Iran that they ought not to actually

219
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 4: get seriously involved. And I think this is one of

220
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: the great questions. I mean, it's very hard to tell

221
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 4: his Belah has suffered. In two thousand and six, Nosraula,

222
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 4: the heead of Isbelah, you know, entered this war with

223
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: Israel and suffered very badly, and was quoted afterwards just

224
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 4: saying if I had known, I wouldn't have entered. Now

225
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: in those years since, I think he's gotten a lot

226
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: more money and arms in training, and probably a lot

227
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 4: angrier toward Israel, and so I think the question is

228
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 4: would he do so? And it's very hard to know.

229
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 4: My instinct is that he would have. He would have

230
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: been happier, if you like, to have entered on Saturday

231
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 4: itself and been part of the big moment. And whether

232
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: that's going to make it easier or harder for him

233
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: to do it a little later down the road, it's

234
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: hard for me to know. But he has sort of

235
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 4: lost the sense of surprise that would have been involved

236
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 4: in being part of it. And the north of Israel

237
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: is being evacuated, so he's going to have to work

238
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 4: harder to harm Israel, but that doesn't mean he won't try.

239
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: Is there a concern that with Israel focusing so much

240
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: now on the south, on the Gaza strip, that it

241
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: would be prepared for further escalation to the north. Were

242
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: it to come to that.

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 11: There is that concern.

244
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 4: But of course if you and I thought of it,

245
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: so has the Israeli Defense Forces, and so they have

246
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: moved people and sent messages and so forth up north.

247
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: There are contingents of the military that are up there.

248
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: So but yes, I mean, if they're going to be

249
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: all in in Gaza, is that going to make it

250
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: possible for them to do what they need to do

251
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: in the north. It's hard to know. And we've been

252
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: hearing for at least fifteen years that his Bellah has

253
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: been storing and putting rockets and missiles on launchers underground

254
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: in Lebanon, in southern Lebanon, that some of them long range,

255
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: some of the media range that could reach Israel. Now,

256
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: it needs to be said at the same time that

257
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: the current Israeli Defense Forces is in a very, very

258
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: angry mood. This country is feels like its existence is

259
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: at stake. It feels like what happened on Saturday is

260
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: a reminiscent of the worst things that have ever happened

261
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 4: in Jewish history, and it will be as unforgiving as

262
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 4: imaginable if Isbela does get involved, So it means I

263
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: think that southern Lebanon in Beirut would suffer terribly. Now

264
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: just Ustrala enough to stop him. I don't know.

265
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: The first US aid has begun to arrive in the

266
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: form of advanced ammunition. The President in the United States

267
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: is promising more. Does Israel feel as though it's adequate

268
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: at this point?

269
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 4: It's a good question. I haven't put that question to anyone,

270
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: so I can't answer it definitively. I think that the

271
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: understanding is that this is the first shipment and more

272
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: will come. Israel did say that it was stretched for

273
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: its munitions and other things, and therefore it needed this aid.

274
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: It has started to arrive. I think more will come.

275
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: Some of the important parts that are coming are part

276
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: of the anti missile system, the Patriot missiles that stop

277
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: incoming rockets. But again, if there's a huge plethora of

278
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: coming in at once, the system, you could imagine could

279
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: be overwhelmed.

280
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: And just quickly Ethan. In our last thirty seconds, here

281
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: are we seeing further signs from Israel that it could

282
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: be preparing a ground invasion in Gaza.

283
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: Shocked if there was not a ground invasion in Casa,

284
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: So I think that all the signs are that this

285
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: country is preparing to go in in full force soon,

286
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: and we have to hope that they can minimize damage

287
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: to civilians, which I'm afraid will be difficult for them.

288
