WEBVTT - War in Israel Escalates; Biden Boosting Aid

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Good morning.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>stories we're following today.

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>We want to get right to the latest in the

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Israel Hamas war. More than twenty one hundred people have

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>been killed in the last five days of fighting, including

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>at least twelve hundred Israelis. Now, as Israel ramps up

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>airstrikes on Gaza to the south, it is facing attacks

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 1>to the north as well. Hezbollah, the Iran backed group

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that operates out of Lebanon, says it's carried out missile

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>strikes on a military post near Israel's northern border. All

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>this as the first usaid begins to arrive in the

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>form of advanced ammunition. A US aircraft carrier group, the

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>USS gerald Ford is in the Eastern Mediterranean as well.

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Conricus with Israeli Defense Forces says that should send

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a message to Hamas and its backers.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.959
<v Speaker 3>This battle group is here to make sure that the

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 3>war against Hamas doesn't escalate to a regional war between

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Israel and many other entities.

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>But the president of Turkey, wretch of type one, is

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>criticizing the US show of support.

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 4>What will we do with the boats and plans that

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 4>this aircraft carrier is surrounded with table takedown causa by

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 4>striking the surrounding areas and start committing serious massacres.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>President Erdwan of Turkey spoke through an interpreter Well Nathan.

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>President Biden is vowing full US support for Israel, with

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the country's full backing, including shipments of munitions and intelligence assistants.

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 5>When Congress returns r and asked them to take urgent

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 5>action to fund the national security requirements of our critical partners.

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 5>The United States has also enhanced our military force posture

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.559
<v Speaker 5>in the region to strengthen hard determs, and we stand

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 5>ready to move in additional assets as needed.

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>In Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin and Yahoo told President Biden

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>he's grateful for the US support.

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 6>Well, I want to thank you for your continued and

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 6>unequivocal support and the work of your entire administration to

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 6>support us. We've never seen such savagery in the history

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 6>of the state, and worse than Isis. They're even worse

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 6>than Isis, and we need to treat them as such.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>And Prime Minister Nataya, who expects a long conflict, we

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>spoke earlier with Israeli military spokesperson Doron Spielman, we.

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 7>Launched over no last number of years operations that were

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 7>limited in scope. I think it's clear to anyone who's

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.839
<v Speaker 7>seen the turnage that took place in Israel, the one

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 7>thing to not did for us is they pushed us

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 7>into a corner and they said they made us understand

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 7>that we have absolutely no choice but.

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 8>To defeat them.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Along with Israeli military spokesperson Doron Spielman, we also spoke

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>with Mustapha Barghuti, who leads the Palestinian National Initiative. That's

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>a group that advocates for nonviolent resistance.

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 8>I am really worried about the fact that it seems

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 8>that NATAIO doesn't care not only about Palestinian lives, but

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 8>also about the lives of two hundred Israeli prisoners who

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 8>are now in Deza, and many of whom could be

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 8>killed if it continues. The airs takes on Gaza Strip.

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Staff of Bargudi with the Palestinian National Initiative is calling

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>for a ceasefire.

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, Nathan. As the war rages on, a growing number

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 2>of airlines are suspending traveled to Israel, and we get

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>that story from Bloomberg's Lisa Mateo.

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 9>Turkish Airlines is pulling its flights from Tel Aviv until

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 9>further notice. American Airlines extended its suspension through December fourth

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 9>and is working with partner carriers to help those trying

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 9>to lead the city. Finnair is canceling flights until March thirtieth,

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 9>while EasyJet temporarily suspended its service Liftanza Air, France and

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 9>other major US airlines announced their suspensions Monday. So who

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.679
<v Speaker 9>is still flying to Israel? British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, Fly,

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 9>Dubai and Pegasus are operating with adjusted schedules. Lisa Matteo,

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 9>Bloomberg Radio.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>NI Lisa, thank you. After many commercial airlines suspended operations

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>in Israel, a growing number of governments are sending aircraft

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to airlift citizens out of the country. Both Germany and

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>France plan to operate evacuation flights well, Nathan.

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 2>The amount of aid to Israel is in question now

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>because of uncertainty in the House. It's been leaderless and

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>unable to handle normal business since Hound speaker Kevin McCarthey

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>was ousted last week. Republican lawmakers planned to meet the

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>SHA afternoon to choose a Speaker nominee. Kentucky Representative Tom

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Massey pushed the chances his party settles on a nominee

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 2>today at two percent.

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>In Legal News, Karen, we continue to follow the high

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>profile trial of FTX co founder Sam bankmin Freed. Caroline

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Ellison says Bankman Freed, her former boss and former boyfriend

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>directed her to commit crimes. We get the latest from

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Shaneali Basick.

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 10>We know that Caroline Ellison, who has been a pivotal

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 10>witness both for the sake of the prosecution as well

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 10>as someone who's come up in the sake of the defense.

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 10>She has come up and immediately said, yes, we did

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 10>commit crimes Sam and I and others. And she said

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 10>that Alameda took several billion dollars from FTX customers and

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 10>used it for its own investments and to pay off lenders.

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Shanali Basik says Sam bankmin Freed has denied all

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>allegations against him.

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>In Corporate News, Nathan, Exxon mobil is closing in on

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>a huge takeover, and we get the latest from Bloomberg's

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>John Tucker.

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 11>Kareny it would be an all stock deal worth fifty

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 11>eight billion dollars and could be announced as soon as today.

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 11>Exon Bobol trying to buy Pioneered Natural Resources. The deal

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 11>would be the largest corporate takeover announced globally this year,

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 11>and Exon's biggest acquisition since merging with Mobile in nineteen

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 11>ninety nine. It's a clear bet that oil and gas

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 11>will remain central to the world's energy mix, despite the

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 11>push toward eight lower carbon future. A pioneer saled may

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 11>spark's similar interest in other shale producers from Big Oil

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 11>in New York. Im John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio or.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>R Nathan, thanks Time Now for a look at some

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 2>of the other stories making news around the world. For that,

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 2>we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris Sainting. Good morning, Good morning,

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, Aaron.

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 12>President Biden has confirmed Americans are among the more than

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 12>one hundred and fifty hostages being held by hamas. An

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 12>exact number is not being shared, though Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons

0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 12>brings us the.

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 13>Latest Lifehouse nationals to security advisor Jake Sullivan says twenty

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 13>or more Americans are unaccounted for, but he stresses it's

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 13>unclear how many could be held.

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 14>We're working with the Israeli government and with our regional

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 14>partners on every aspect of the hostage crisis, including sharing

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 14>intelligence and deploying experts from across the US government to

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 14>advise the Israeli government and coordinate with them on hostage

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 14>recovery efforts.

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 13>Sullivan says Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln will travel to

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 13>Israel this week to discuss additional resources the US could provide.

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 13>In Washington, Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio more military support.

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 12>While the United States already gives billions of dollars a

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 12>year to Israel for security, US lawmakers say Israel can

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 12>count on more. Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas says

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 12>they'll wait to hear from Israel about how much military

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 12>support they'll need.

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 8>They'll let us know what they need.

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>That the most likely looks like is a deeper magazine,

0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>so that means more rockets, more hyper as and munitions,

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:01.720
<v Speaker 1>things like that.

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 12>Congressman Crenshaw ssays Israel's defense force is still reeling from

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 12>the surprise attacks over the weekend. Also on Capitol Hill,

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 12>House Republicans are scrambling to get behind a speaker candidate

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 12>before today's party vote, questioning Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 12>and Steve Scalise of Louisiana for several hours behind closed

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 12>doors about their visions and strategies for the majority. Now,

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 12>the congressman who put it all into motion, Florida's Matt Gates,

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 12>predicts how today's vote's going to go.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 15>In a world in which only two people are running

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 15>for Speaker, it's going to be pretty clear who has

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 15>the most support. And once it's clear who of the

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 15>two as the most support, I think there's going to

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 15>be a tremendous amount of pressure to coalesce around that candidate.

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 12>Most Republicans have not announced their support publicly, teeing up

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 12>a day of uncertainty as they prepare for what could

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 12>be several secret ballid votes for Speaker. Global News twenty

<v Speaker 16>who were looking for a Alds sweep.

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 15>For the Orioles, He's ready on the one.

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:07.199
<v Speaker 16>Two.

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Garcia hits this one high and deep till left.

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 17>Really high really four hay gone a dooleys Garcia and

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 17>the Texas Rangers now leaded six to nothing in the

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 17>second inning, Yes being.

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 16>Had the call seven to one was the final nighth

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 16>of Evaldi won seventeenth for the victory. The Rangers sweep

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 16>the series after sweeping Tampa Bay in the wild card round.

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 16>They're on to the ALCS Openy Night. In the NHL,

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.439
<v Speaker 16>the first game was at Tampa Bay. The Lightning beat

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 16>Nationale five to three, and then it was Chicago a

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 16>four to two winn at Pittsburgh. Blackhawks only won twenty

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 16>six games last year, but they had the first pick

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 16>of the draft and took Connor Bedard, only eighteen years old,

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 16>expected to be a generational talent. He had assist in

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 16>his NHL debut, and then they hoisted the Stanley Cup

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 16>banner in Vegas. Golden Knights got thirty two Saints and

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 16>Maiden Hill shut out Seattle to to nothing. Long time

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 16>ESPN NHL analyst Barry Melrose suffering from Parkinson's disease and

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.760

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager concerns about a wider war

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>in Israel may be building, with the fight against Hamas

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>now into its fifth day. As Israel continues to pound

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Hamas targets in Gaza with airstrikes to the south, the

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Lebanese militant group Hesbelah says it is now entering the

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>fray with rocket attacks against Israel to the north. For

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the latest, we're joined by Bloomberg News Israel bureau chief

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Ethan Brawner in Tel Aviv once again with us this morning. So, Ethan,

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.199
<v Speaker 1>what is the latest that we're hearing about these Hesbelas

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 1>strikes and the concern that this could lead to a

0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>wider conflict for Israel.

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, yes, so there have been some strikes, as you said,

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 4>and in the israelis hit anti tank missiles at the

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 4>border post. I think an enormous concern. I it's it's

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 4>the main reason, of course that the United States sent

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 4>the USS Gerald R Ford and its battle fleet to

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 4>the eastern Mediterranean to send a very distinct message to

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 4>his Bela and Iran that they ought not to actually

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.959
<v Speaker 4>get seriously involved. And I think this is one of

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 4>the great questions. I mean, it's very hard to tell

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 4>his Belah has suffered. In two thousand and six, Nosraula,

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 4>the heead of Isbelah, you know, entered this war with

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 4>Israel and suffered very badly, and was quoted afterwards just

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 4>saying if I had known, I wouldn't have entered. Now

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 4>in those years since, I think he's gotten a lot

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 4>more money and arms in training, and probably a lot

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 4>angrier toward Israel, and so I think the question is

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 4>would he do so? And it's very hard to know.

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 4>My instinct is that he would have. He would have

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 4>been happier, if you like, to have entered on Saturday

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 4>itself and been part of the big moment. And whether

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 4>that's going to make it easier or harder for him

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 4>to do it a little later down the road, it's

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 4>hard for me to know. But he has sort of

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 4>lost the sense of surprise that would have been involved

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 4>in being part of it. And the north of Israel

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 4>is being evacuated, so he's going to have to work

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.559
<v Speaker 4>harder to harm Israel, but that doesn't mean he won't try.

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 1>Is there a concern that with Israel focusing so much

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 1>now on the south, on the Gaza strip, that it

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 1>would be prepared for further escalation to the north. Were

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it to come to that.

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 11>There is that concern.

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.679
<v Speaker 4>But of course if you and I thought of it,

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 4>so has the Israeli Defense Forces, and so they have

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 4>moved people and sent messages and so forth up north.

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 4>There are contingents of the military that are up there.

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 4>So but yes, I mean, if they're going to be

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 4>all in in Gaza, is that going to make it

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 4>possible for them to do what they need to do

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 4>in the north. It's hard to know. And we've been

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 4>hearing for at least fifteen years that his Bellah has

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 4>been storing and putting rockets and missiles on launchers underground

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 4>in Lebanon, in southern Lebanon, that some of them long range,

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 4>some of the media range that could reach Israel. Now,

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 4>it needs to be said at the same time that

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 4>the current Israeli Defense Forces is in a very, very

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 4>angry mood. This country is feels like its existence is

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 4>at stake. It feels like what happened on Saturday is

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 4>a reminiscent of the worst things that have ever happened

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.680
<v Speaker 4>in Jewish history, and it will be as unforgiving as

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 4>imaginable if Isbela does get involved, So it means I

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 4>think that southern Lebanon in Beirut would suffer terribly. Now

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 4>just Ustrala enough to stop him. I don't know.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>The first US aid has begun to arrive in the

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 1>form of advanced ammunition. The President in the United States

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>is promising more. Does Israel feel as though it's adequate

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>at this point?

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.680
<v Speaker 4>It's a good question. I haven't put that question to anyone,

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 4>so I can't answer it definitively. I think that the

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 4>understanding is that this is the first shipment and more

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 4>will come. Israel did say that it was stretched for

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 4>its munitions and other things, and therefore it needed this aid.

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 4>It has started to arrive. I think more will come.

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Some of the important parts that are coming are part

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 4>of the anti missile system, the Patriot missiles that stop

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 4>incoming rockets. But again, if there's a huge plethora of

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 4>coming in at once, the system, you could imagine could

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 4>be overwhelmed.

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And just quickly Ethan. In our last thirty seconds, here

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>are we seeing further signs from Israel that it could

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>be preparing a ground invasion in Gaza.

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Shocked if there was not a ground invasion in Casa,

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 4>So I think that all the signs are that this

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 4>country is preparing to go in in full force soon,

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.760
<v Speaker 4>and we have to hope that they can minimize damage

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 4>to civilians, which I'm afraid will be difficult for them.
