1:43 1:46 Israel good evening from Israel as Hamas
1:46 1:48 rocket streak over Tel Aviv tonight
1:48 1:51 warning sirens briefly interrupted
1:51 1:53 delicate highlevel talks to dial back
1:53 1:56 the Israel Hamas war and there is laid
1:56 1:58 word that President Biden May travel to
1:58 2:01 Israel as early as this week Secretary
2:01 2:03 of State Anthony blinkin already on the
2:03 2:05 ground here tonight leading the push for
2:05 2:08 a diplomatic resolution to the crisis
2:08 2:10 meeting with prime minister Benjamin
2:10 2:12 Netanyahu and his War cabinet the group
2:12 2:15 forced to take shelter twice after
2:15 2:18 rocket alert sounded the us tonight also
2:18 2:19 pushing for the opening of Egypt's
2:19 2:22 border crossing with Gaza to allow
2:22 2:25 Americans and others to leave Gaza and
2:25 2:28 allow vital supplies into the territory
2:28 2:30 with Israel postured to wage a
2:30 2:33 full-scale ground assault at any time in
2:33 2:36 Gaza Hamas has posted video of an
2:36 2:38 Israeli woman it claims is one of the
2:38 2:41 hostages it holds and says it is
2:41 2:44 prepared to release non-israeli hostages
2:44 2:47 if conditions allow in a moment part of
2:47 2:48 my conversation with a man who
2:48 2:51 successfully negotiated a prisoner
2:51 2:53 release with Hamas years ago is where we
2:53 2:55 start
2:55 2:58 tonight tonight the first video of a
2:58 3:01 hostage held inside Gaza released by
3:01 3:06 Hamas hiem in it 21-year-old Maya Shem
3:06 3:08 asks to be brought home as soon as
3:08 3:10 possible and says she's being given
3:10 3:12 medical care it's unclear if she's being
3:12 3:15 forced to make the statement meanwhile a
3:15 3:18 Hamas leader says non-israeli captives
3:18 3:21 will be released from Gaza if conditions
3:21 3:25 allow Hamas is holding 199 hostages
3:25 3:28 according to the Israeli military Gerson
3:28 3:31 Basin negotiated with Hamas to secure
3:31 3:33 the high-profile release of Israeli
3:33 3:37 soldier galad Shalit in 2011 he says
3:37 3:39 he's been in contact with Hamas every
3:39 3:42 day since the attack what's the best
3:42 3:44 approach to even open a dialogue with
3:44 3:47 Hamas the best approach is understanding
3:47 3:50 that it can't be directly done by Israel
3:50 3:51 to start a dialogue with Hamas we have
3:51 3:54 to understand who can do it and the ones
3:54 3:55 who can do it in the countries that have
3:55 3:58 influence over Hamas which are Qatar
3:58 4:00 turkey and Egypt and Iran
4:00 4:02 Baskin says there's a small window of
4:02 4:05 opportunity to make a deal to release
4:05 4:07 hostages it's a matter of days probably
4:07 4:09 a week before the Israeli Ground Forces
4:09 4:11 go into Gaza that's when the window for
4:11 4:13 negotiation closes but that means that
4:13 4:16 hostages are sacrificed it means that
4:16 4:18 hostages are going to be tried to be
4:18 4:21 freed and they might be sacrificed my
4:21 4:23 sense of of the pulse of the Israeli
4:23 4:25 public right now the government in the
4:25 4:27 military is that the primary objective
4:27 4:29 today is to remove Hamas from its
4:29 4:32 ability to govern and that means that
4:32 4:36 hostages may be sacrificed this hurts me
4:36 4:38 so much to say that the hostages might
4:38 4:41 be considered additional casualties of
4:41 4:43 the war for Israel's survival it comes
4:43 4:46 amid a flurry of diplomatic Activity
4:46 4:49 three us officials tell NBC News
4:49 4:51 President Biden is strongly considering
4:51 4:54 a trip to Israel as early as this week
4:54 4:57 while Secretary of State Anthony blinkin
4:57 4:59 met with prime minister Netanyahu and
4:59 5:02 his War cabinet for hours today a
5:02 5:05 meeting interrupted by Air Raid Sirens
5:05 5:06 you know
5:06 5:12 our deep commitment to Israel's right
5:12 5:15 indeed its obligation to defend itself
5:15 5:18 and to defend its people a critical part
5:18 5:20 of those talks aid for Gaza where the
5:20 5:23 humanitarian crisis is worsening by the
5:23 5:26 minute hospitals are in complete chaos
5:26 5:29 there is no power with morgs full ice
5:29 5:31 cream trucks are now being used to store
5:31 5:34 bodies while trucks carrying supplies
5:34 5:37 have not been allowed to enter Gaza just
5:37 5:39 across the border sits the Israeli town
5:39 5:43 of stat now being evacuated ahead of a
5:43 5:45 possible ground Invasion here in stat
5:45 5:47 you can hear the constant whine of
5:47 5:49 Israeli drones presumably looking for
5:49 5:52 Targets in the town itself more than
5:52 5:54 half the population has already
5:54 5:56 evacuated for those who remain time is
5:56 5:59 running out the last buses evacuating
5:59 6:01 people have come and gone and the sounds
6:01 6:04 of War are growing closer moments later
6:04 6:07 we heard just how close we heard the
6:07 6:09 sound of incoming shells we moved into
6:09 6:12 one of these public shelters with some
6:12 6:14 other journalists here then as we
6:14 6:16 started to
6:16 6:18 leave stay stay stay another
6:18 6:20 explosion outside we thought it was the
6:20 6:22 all clear we heard another bang very
6:22 6:25 close by no one was hurt and we soon
6:25 6:29 left but staying behind is yitzi manov
6:29 6:32 who's helping coordinate evacuations are
6:32 6:34 you going to leave no it's scary it's
6:34 6:37 not simple but we are we loves the road
6:37 6:39 we can't our heart is here we can't live
6:39 6:42 when they we know they need us here this
6:42 6:45 city official also vowing to stay how
6:45 6:49 dangerous is it to remain in
6:49 6:52 s he says it's very dangerous because
6:52 6:54 terrorists are still walking around the
6:54 6:57 area near
6:57 7:00 Gaza the Israeli military says this
7:00 7:02 newly released video was from a body
7:02 7:05 camera worn by a Hamas militant during
7:05 7:08 October 7th's brutal attack the head of
7:08 7:10 Israel's security service is now taking
7:10 7:13 responsibility for failing to prevent it
7:13 7:16 writing in a letter despite a series of
7:16 7:18 actions we were unable to generate a
7:18 7:20 sufficient warning that would allow the
7:20 7:23 attack to be thwarted adding as the
7:23 7:25 person at the head of the organization
7:25 7:28 the responsibility for this is mine
7:28 7:31 tonight so many families are now burying
7:31 7:34 their loved ones with more than 4,000
7:34 7:38 people dead 10 days into this war for
7:38 7:40 more in that statement by Hamas saying
7:40 7:42 it would release non-israeli hostages if
7:42 7:45 the necessary conditions are available I
7:45 7:46 want to bring in Chief forign
7:46 7:48 correspondent Richard angle Richard
7:48 7:52 what's the significance of this
7:52 7:55 message it could be hugely significant

7:59 8:02 that foreigners were taken accidentally
8:02 8:05 that during hamas's assault into Israel
8:05 8:08 it kidnapped uh many people about 200
8:08 8:09 are being held by Hamas according to
8:09 8:11 this statement and that it didn't have
8:11 8:14 time to verify their identities but that
8:14 8:16 foreign Nationals are not part of this
8:16 8:18 conflict that it is willing to release
8:18 8:20 them it's not asking for anything in
8:20 8:22 return just says that the field
8:22 8:25 conditions have to be right to allow
8:25 8:27 this uh transfer to happen to allow
8:27 8:29 these people to be released and it that

17:19 17:21 the right to broadly defend himself he
17:21 17:23 can cast the case is politically
17:23 17:25 motivated but he can't launch what the
17:25 17:28 judge called a pre-trial smear campaign
17:28 17:30 against Witnesses prosecutors or any
17:30 17:32 other court staff involved in this case
17:32 17:35 in Washington now judge chuin said in
17:35 17:37 court today he does not have quote cart

17:39 17:41 encourage violence against public
17:41 17:44 servants who are simply doing their job
17:44 17:46 as it could taint the jury pool Mr Trump

17:48 17:51 order meantime Lester one of his closest
17:51 17:53 allies in Congress who pulsed the false

1:43 1:46 Israel good evening from Israel as Hamas
1:46 1:48 rocket streak over Tel Aviv tonight
1:48 1:51 warning sirens briefly interrupted
1:51 1:53 delicate highlevel talks to dial back
1:53 1:56 the Israel Hamas war and there is laid
1:56 1:58 word that President Biden May travel to
1:58 2:01 Israel as early as this week Secretary
2:01 2:03 of State Anthony blinkin already on the
2:03 2:05 ground here tonight leading the push for
2:05 2:08 a diplomatic resolution to the crisis
2:08 2:10 meeting with prime minister Benjamin
2:10 2:12 Netanyahu and his War cabinet the group
2:12 2:15 forced to take shelter twice after
2:15 2:18 rocket alert sounded the us tonight also
2:18 2:19 pushing for the opening of Egypt's
2:19 2:22 border crossing with Gaza to allow
2:22 2:25 Americans and others to leave Gaza and
2:25 2:28 allow vital supplies into the territory
2:28 2:30 with Israel postured to wage a
2:30 2:33 full-scale ground assault at any time in
2:33 2:36 Gaza Hamas has posted video of an
2:36 2:38 Israeli woman it claims is one of the
2:38 2:41 hostages it holds and says it is
2:41 2:44 prepared to release non-israeli hostages
2:44 2:47 if conditions allow in a moment part of
2:47 2:48 my conversation with a man who
2:48 2:51 successfully negotiated a prisoner
2:51 2:53 release with Hamas years ago is where we
2:53 2:55 start
2:55 2:58 tonight tonight the first video of a
2:58 3:01 hostage held inside Gaza released by
3:01 3:06 Hamas hiem in it 21-year-old Maya Shem
3:06 3:08 asks to be brought home as soon as
3:08 3:10 possible and says she's being given
3:10 3:12 medical care it's unclear if she's being
3:12 3:15 forced to make the statement meanwhile a
3:15 3:18 Hamas leader says non-israeli captives
3:18 3:21 will be released from Gaza if conditions
3:21 3:25 allow Hamas is holding 199 hostages
3:25 3:28 according to the Israeli military Gerson
3:28 3:31 Basin negotiated with Hamas to secure
3:31 3:33 the high-profile release of Israeli
3:33 3:37 soldier galad Shalit in 2011 he says
3:37 3:39 he's been in contact with Hamas every
3:39 3:42 day since the attack what's the best
3:42 3:44 approach to even open a dialogue with
3:44 3:47 Hamas the best approach is understanding
3:47 3:50 that it can't be directly done by Israel
3:50 3:51 to start a dialogue with Hamas we have
3:51 3:54 to understand who can do it and the ones
3:54 3:55 who can do it in the countries that have
3:55 3:58 influence over Hamas which are Qatar
3:58 4:00 turkey and Egypt and Iran
4:00 4:02 Baskin says there's a small window of
4:02 4:05 opportunity to make a deal to release
4:05 4:07 hostages it's a matter of days probably
4:07 4:09 a week before the Israeli Ground Forces
4:09 4:11 go into Gaza that's when the window for
4:11 4:13 negotiation closes but that means that
4:13 4:16 hostages are sacrificed it means that
4:16 4:18 hostages are going to be tried to be
4:18 4:21 freed and they might be sacrificed my
4:21 4:23 sense of of the pulse of the Israeli
4:23 4:25 public right now the government in the
4:25 4:27 military is that the primary objective
4:27 4:29 today is to remove Hamas from its
4:29 4:32 ability to govern and that means that
4:32 4:36 hostages may be sacrificed this hurts me
4:36 4:38 so much to say that the hostages might
4:38 4:41 be considered additional casualties of
4:41 4:43 the war for Israel's survival it comes
4:43 4:46 amid a flurry of diplomatic Activity
4:46 4:49 three us officials tell NBC News
4:49 4:51 President Biden is strongly considering
4:51 4:54 a trip to Israel as early as this week
4:54 4:57 while Secretary of State Anthony blinkin
4:57 4:59 met with prime minister Netanyahu and
4:59 5:02 his War cabinet for hours today a
5:02 5:05 meeting interrupted by Air Raid Sirens
5:05 5:06 you know
5:06 5:12 our deep commitment to Israel's right
5:12 5:15 indeed its obligation to defend itself
5:15 5:18 and to defend its people a critical part
5:18 5:20 of those talks aid for Gaza where the
5:20 5:23 humanitarian crisis is worsening by the
5:23 5:26 minute hospitals are in complete chaos
5:26 5:29 there is no power with morgs full ice
5:29 5:31 cream trucks are now being used to store
5:31 5:34 bodies while trucks carrying supplies
5:34 5:37 have not been allowed to enter Gaza just
5:37 5:39 across the border sits the Israeli town
5:39 5:43 of stat now being evacuated ahead of a
5:43 5:45 possible ground Invasion here in stat
5:45 5:47 you can hear the constant whine of
5:47 5:49 Israeli drones presumably looking for
5:49 5:52 Targets in the town itself more than
5:52 5:54 half the population has already
5:54 5:56 evacuated for those who remain time is
5:56 5:59 running out the last buses evacuating
5:59 6:01 people have come and gone and the sounds
6:01 6:04 of War are growing closer moments later
6:04 6:07 we heard just how close we heard the
6:07 6:09 sound of incoming shells we moved into
6:09 6:12 one of these public shelters with some
6:12 6:14 other journalists here then as we
6:14 6:16 started to
6:16 6:18 leave stay stay stay another
6:18 6:20 explosion outside we thought it was the
6:20 6:22 all clear we heard another bang very
6:22 6:25 close by no one was hurt and we soon
6:25 6:29 left but staying behind is yitzi manov
6:29 6:32 who's helping coordinate evacuations are
6:32 6:34 you going to leave no it's scary it's
6:34 6:37 not simple but we are we loves the road
6:37 6:39 we can't our heart is here we can't live
6:39 6:42 when they we know they need us here this
6:42 6:45 city official also vowing to stay how
6:45 6:49 dangerous is it to remain in
6:49 6:52 s he says it's very dangerous because
6:52 6:54 terrorists are still walking around the
6:54 6:57 area near
6:57 7:00 Gaza the Israeli military says this
7:00 7:02 newly released video was from a body
7:02 7:05 camera worn by a Hamas militant during
7:05 7:08 October 7th's brutal attack the head of
7:08 7:10 Israel's security service is now taking
7:10 7:13 responsibility for failing to prevent it
7:13 7:16 writing in a letter despite a series of
7:16 7:18 actions we were unable to generate a
7:18 7:20 sufficient warning that would allow the
7:20 7:23 attack to be thwarted adding as the
7:23 7:25 person at the head of the organization
7:25 7:28 the responsibility for this is mine
7:28 7:31 tonight so many families are now burying
7:31 7:34 their loved ones with more than 4,000
7:34 7:38 people dead 10 days into this war for
7:38 7:40 more in that statement by Hamas saying
7:40 7:42 it would release non-israeli hostages if
7:42 7:45 the necessary conditions are available I
7:45 7:46 want to bring in Chief forign
7:46 7:48 correspondent Richard angle Richard
7:48 7:52 what's the significance of this
7:52 7:55 message it could be hugely significant
7:55 7:57 this came from the spokesman for the
7:57 7:59 military wing of Hamas and he said said
7:59 8:02 that foreigners were taken accidentally
8:02 8:05 that during hamas's assault into Israel
8:05 8:08 it kidnapped uh many people about 200
8:08 8:09 are being held by Hamas according to
8:09 8:11 this statement and that it didn't have
8:11 8:14 time to verify their identities but that
8:14 8:16 foreign Nationals are not part of this
8:16 8:18 conflict that it is willing to release
8:18 8:20 them it's not asking for anything in
8:20 8:22 return just says that the field
8:22 8:25 conditions have to be right to allow
8:25 8:27 this uh transfer to happen to allow
8:27 8:29 these people to be released and it that
8:29 8:31 for now they're being treated like
