start with the breaking news leaders around the world are responding after that unprecedented iranian attack on israel. the first time iran has ever launched a direct assault from inside iran on israeli territory in two hours, the united nations security council will hold an emergency meeting on the escalating very dramatic tensions that are unfolding this afternoon. leaders of the g7 met virtually trying to work out a potential diplomatic response to this iranian attack and the israeli war cabinet also has been meeting just a short time ago to wait its response. no decision was made, at least we're told that no decision was made at least not yet but work member benny gantz is vowing to exact a prices where it's exactly price from iran for the assault present joe biden, pledging ironclad, his word, ironclad us support for israel in a phone call with

israeli prime minister benjamin, a tiny out, but he also warned that the united states will not participate in any offensive operations against the rhyme for all the latest developments on the ground in israel. let's go to the cnn's jeremy diamond. he's joining us live from jerusalem right now. jeremy, the situation in the region clearly is very tenuous. shall we, shall we say right now, what is the feeling there as we near 24 hours since iran launched this attack against israel well, well, if the waves of drones and missiles that iran fired at israel in the early hours of this morning have subsided. but this remains a moment of extraordinary tension extraordinary uncertainty about what the future may hold certainly an inflection point in terms of whether or not this these tensions, these clashes between iran and israel could escalate into something far more significant already. this morning, early this morning, these attacks carried out by

iran, where the first time that they have attacked israel directly. and so today israel's war cabinet meeting for nearly five hours, but i'm told wolf that but a biden israeli official that the war cabinet did not make a decision on exactly how or when it will respond. a militarily towards iran. but one thing is clear, wolf is that israel will respond that has been the resounding sentiment from multiple israeli officials who i've spoken to today. >> and >> one thing i understand from this war cabinet meeting is that the timing of this attack of a potential israeli response on iran is one of the dilemmas that the war cabinet was facing today. and so the israeli military has now been tasked with coming up with additional options for the war cabinet to consider as they prepare for a possible response. but there's no doubt wolff that much remains to be termed friend and that the next days to come will be critical in terms of israel's decision and the fate of the region will stay in close touch with you, jeremy

diamond in jerusalem. thank you very much and joining us now, also from jerusalem, the president of israel, isaac herzog, mr. president. thank you so much for joining us. i know you're you have a lot going on in the wake of this unprecedented iranian thank you. attack against israel. give us an assessment. what is the latest you could tell us what's going on right now? >> so we have to understand that what we're seeing, unraveling in front of our eyes is a reality that has been there for at least a decade or two decades, meaning an empire of evil headed from tehran, which has an objective has an objective two radicalize the real any peace processes overthrow regimes bring, however, can tell throughout the middle east, of course eliminate israel with a g at this philosophy, with proxies, but also hold terror cells. all of the world. now, this empire of evil as shown, what it wants to achieve and in front of it,

it was met by a strong correlation and was met by an incredible israeli army and air force incredibly younger offices and commanders. and by an incredible partnership of nations, which i want to thank wholeheartedly a coalition for nations led by the united states of america. and i want to thank president biden for his leadership is and its allies, including the united states, as you know, intercepted 99% of those iranian missiles and drones coming towards israel, president biden told prime minister natasha yeah, we should consider this a win. his word, you should consider this a when is this a women? what message does all this send to iran >> so it was an overall campaign from all four corners of the middle east aim at israel it was almost like a star war and night because you

had the incredible technologies went into this throughout in various layers. and incredible column coordination. and it shows that we are united when we are together and when we fight against evil together naturally, i absolutely agree that we are victorious and we were victorious in this. but one has to also take into account that this was a very aggressive and brutal attack on israel and under the circumstances, i think the decision of the war cabinet, which is convening right now, will take into account all the measures that are required to defend and protect the people of israel >> you've called what he run did a declaration of war. >> but >> around seems to have telegraphed what it was going to be doing. do you assess a run really once the spark a wider war, a conflict with

israel? or are they more interested in narrowly responded? to that deadly attack on iran's consulate in damascus, syria >> so i would say of course >> then what i meant was that in terms of the size and scope, are we talking over 500 drones and and ballistic missiles? et cetera. this was a very aggressive and brutal attack, which looks like a declaration of war. but i also added immediately to say that we are not seeking wall. we are seeking always peace. we want to reach peace in the region. that's what we're striving for throughout the years and we well met by a horrific massacre by hamas and its another proxy of iran on october 7, iran has been holding war against us for decades with its proxies. and if you look at one small example which exemplifies the entire story iran took over a

tribe called the houthis in em and 50,000 people made it its proxy because they are shiites phelie up to its neck with armament of an empire cruise missiles, drones, and ballistic missiles to a tribe of 50,000 people, block okay the high seas. and of course, elevating the cost of living of every family in the world. that's the story that's what we are meeting. we are meeting an empire of evil which wants to eradicate all values of the free world. that's why they're drones are killing all over the place in ukraine. the drones are killing it other places. and it's about time the world stands up to them and says, no, we won't let you don't, as president biden said, don't. and therefore, because he says don't and we all say don't, that's why they were met with a very strong response last night. but i think the world has to understand that this is another development in the war

which he is waging against the free world and has to be met accordingly >> as you know, mr. president, some of the far-right political voices in israel are pushing for a very harsh israeli response. the national security minister itamar ben gvir says, israel deeds to quote, go crazy. does this attack your perspective, require a harsh israeli response? how forceful of a response should it be? and would that risk a major regional escalation? >> so as i said, we don't seek war and i think that we all understand the balanced that is needed in this situation. we are holding a very intimate dialogue with our allies and i think prime minister netanyahu, he's talking to many world leaders. he had a call with president biden last night. in addition, of course, to our allies, other countries such as britain, france, and others in

the region as well. we're considering it all. we're acting cool handedly and lucidly. i think they cabinet now it's convening exactly to discuss it so of course, we have as a democracy, they only democracy in the region. we have a multitude of voices, but if we look at it objectively, i think we're operating in a very focused way and a very responsible way. and i'm sure so it will be a decision accordingly that will make sure that we protect and defend the people of israel and of course, serve the idea of this coalition that has emanated all of a sudden in front of our eyes in opposing the aggressive acts and the and the operations of iran in the region for so many years as you know the united states, the biden administration says it won't participate in any offensive action against iran right now,

>> israel willing to take unilateral action that potentially could put us troops and assets throughout the region at risk. >> so let's first speak about the grand picture. there has been a war with iran for decades. may i remind you that there was ever a bold decision of president donald trump to get rid of qasem soleimani then the war and the warlord the, the commander of taro in the region for years, who was the head of the national guard's of iran so these guys keep on spreading table and havoc. there have been attacking american forces four for years, including this year in various spots in the middle east and an i believe that it's in the inherent interests national interests of the united states. and of course, of of european countries and regional countries that want to go to

peace and go want to go to normalization with israel that we are strong and united and act accordingly as to the technicalities of what will be the side let upon this, of course, i leave to the israeli cabinet meeting as we speak right now at the defense ministry in tel aviv, the united states, as you know, help a strongly defend israel against this latest or attack over the past 24 hours. what obligation mr. president does israel have to address president? fides repeated demands to dramatically ramp up humanitarian aid to the palestinians in gaza and to reduce civilian casualties. there so indeed, israel has elevated dramatically the humanitarian aid >> to the people of gaza in a dramatic way in a dialogue, frank and open dialogue with all our allies. first of all, by way of airdrops from all of,

from all over. secondly, by opening terrestrial crossings, including now a northern crossing from zikim and a crossing in erez and a crossing in carney in an amine all over the place so there's a major inflow of humanitarian aid to gaza, of course, the maritime route which is being operated in a very impressive way, which was an initiative of the uae. and now america in the united states is about to lead it in a very professional manner. so there's a major effort to meet the demands that are required for the humanitarian assistance of gaza. and by the way, it's the right thing to do. but let me explain to your viewers something which is really important to mention. there are still hundred and 35 israeli hostages in gaza. they're going through hell their life is in question. they are under huge

threat, let alone the enormous pain that they're going through, such as rape and torture and other things. the problem is that it's been discussed day-in, day-out, 24/7 in israel is how to how to bring them out. and then comes the question by the israeli public how come you're supplying so much humanitarian aid to gaza? when our hostages, when our citizens are there in parallel, we don't even know their fate because the hamas is, is so cruel that they don't even allow us the names of those who are alive or dead amongst them and therefore, these are honest and frank discussions in the israeli public we have to make sure that our hostages are back. are back as soon as possible. i know it's the commitment of the united states of america and present biden of leaders from all over the world. we must do it. we must carry out as much as possible. unfortunately, hamas in the last 24 hours for the fifth

time, the client, another compromise and another scheme that was proposed again by the mediators in the united states of america. and it's about time the world understands that it's hamas who is refusing to move on and hostage deal. >> as all of this is unfolding, mr. president, the top us humanitarian official, the us aid administrator, samantha power. now says parts of gaza are already experiencing famine palestinian children, as you know, are dying of hunger. 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 work 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 this in gaza. as i've said, there's a huge influx of importation of humanitarian aid to gaza and i reject as far as i know, i reject this claim >> we've seen tensions. there's, you know, between president biden and prime minister new ten, you flare over these past few weeks president biden is called prime minister in your tiny house approach through the swore a stake, his word of a steak. what is the state of us-israeli relations, right now >> so the real trust at the end, you know, the proof of the pudding is in the eating at the end in the last 24 hours, we've really seen a huge historical challenge and that's where the iron clad alliance between

israel and the united states and the united states, if israel and israel as has been as shown as resonated as an incredible aaron clade, the lions which serves the national interests of both nations and serves the free royal. this is the real example we can argue on many things and it's legitimate we have our objectives and we have a small nation, the united states is a world superpower has, its interest, but at the end, we must have a dialogue and open and frank dialogue between the administration's. wherever i can put my advice into the into the ears of all sides. i do that as much as i can. i have immense respect to the united states of america in the administration and the people of the united states it's of america. but everybody who watches us and listens and analyzes the conflict must understand. we have been met by

an empire of evil. it's true, it's absolutely true. i'll citizens were raped and butchered and burnt, and tortured and abducted in an unbelievably unprecedented massacre. i call it a massacre. this her massacre of hamas is something that is unbelievable in terms of modern de warfare or modern-day activities of any human being. and when i stood get up in front of a joint session of the course of the in july 19 of this year. i said that its tail, which is undermining tell which is undermining the whole notion of peace in the region and may i remind you and i set it in the past and i repeated now again, in the g20 summit before they october 7, president biden presented a vision connecting israel to india, which means

connecting europe to the southeast asia, which means connecting the united states to australia through the eastern hemisphere that's the grand vision of peace inclusion, and normalization someone and they empire of evil decided to derail this vision and we must go back to the vision. we must get to peace with saudi arabia, with our allies in the region. we must show these terrorists and we must show these cruel people out there in tehran that it won't work for them. we are standing strong and we shall overcome president isaac hertz are joining us from jerusalem. thank you very much >> thank you very much >> and still to come, we now know how the us learn details about a ron's plans to attack israel are special live coverage continues right after a quick break >> first debris and this guy, parents, husbands and wives gone i could've done something

iran think, do you have back-channel communications and that is clearly very important to managing escalation when it comes to this conflicts. but according to a senior administration official, iran did privately message the us through the swiss embassy, which is primarily how they communicate, telling the us that the attack had concluded and that essentially they were not going to launch any more drones and missiles that evening. now, iran also said, though earlier today, it publicly, in fact that if the us were to engage in any kind of retaliatory strike alongside israel than none of the us's military basis inside the region would be safe and they would quote, be dealt with. and so while the one on the one hand, israel as messaging to the us that the attack has concluded and that they don't want any additional action here on the other hand, they're saying, look, we are also going to defend ourselves and strike back if the us does in fact work with the israelis to launch a retaliatory strike. >> now, >> we were just speaking with senior administration officials and a call with reporters who were saying that the us has

made it very clear to the israelis that while they support, of course israel's the is going to help israel defend itself really in an ironcladay that ironcl commitment, they hav the u is also not gog to te part actively and any kind of response that israel condu in reactn to thiirania strike. and sohe message now isook, we want to lower that, ofourse mr. this back and now it's of crse, all . hands on deck for this massive diplom effor nou' alsarning ousome mres that the us rrently has ince to defendsrael potentially r yes. her iranian attacks >> sweearned a bit moras well aut how all of the us military firepower that' currently the rion rely ntbuted to helping to shoot down all of these drones and iles that are on firast night, according tsenior defensofficials to of the us navy desoyers th are currently inhe easrn mediterranean sea. theshot down between fr and six

the sort of thing that could really change this situation is if israel responds to the iranian barrage of drones cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles last night, we've heard from a source close to hizballah that if things escalate between iran and israel beyond last night that certainly his butler and other malicious and proxies affiliated with iran will basically dramatically escalate. but until that happens, i think we're going to see a continuation of this deadly sometimes deadly daily his daily rather, and sometimes deadly exchanges between hezbollah and israel. now, speaking to other sources here, they have indicated, however, that israel in the long term, does play and to try to take decisive action against his

butler. we've heard for instance, that unlike in november last year when there was that brief truce between israel and gaza, and hamas. hizballah observed that truce and so did israel. so the border was quiet the expectation is even if there's some sort of ceasefire in gaza the border here will not be quiet i suspect it's going to heat up big time. then wedeman in beirut, lebanon for us, then. thank you very much. and our special coverage will continue right after a quick break. >> there's debris and this guy, parents, husbands and wives gone. >> i wish i could've done something differently. you can just make they get better for those that follow space shuttle columbia, the final flight, two part finale tonight at nine on cnn >> diabetes can serve up a lot of questions. like, what is your glucose? and can you have

short-term danger at the moment. is that israel's playing the short term. it has military superiority it can whether it's eliminate iran's arsenal's of pushback, its allies in the region or kill its military leaders but it doesn't really have a long-term strategy when it comes to what are its goals as it to contain iran is eliminated. nuclear program. is it to push for regime change? in the meantime, that iran is playing the long game and it is willing to undertake what was very daring and unprecedented barrage are swarm of attacks on israel what it is playing for the long term over the last 42 years has taken what was a group of small scale militias and turn it into the most powerful alliance in the middle east. israel now faces conflicts, militias, well are militias on five frontiers in the middle east. and that's,

that's not something that one attack on a consulate in damascus or one counter strike after what happened last night is going to eliminate they've crossed a threshold and the middle east and there's no rolling it back, you know, this region well, how did iran view this action was around leadership robin united on this decision to attack israel rawls regime is now kind of full of ultra hardliners there down to they've >> shed many of the layers of other revolutionaries along the way. there's a sense that the regime is kind of paranoid right now. it feels since the united states withdrew from the nuclear deal with the tensions playing out with israel. and now over gaza, iran fields is more of an existential threat. i suspect there was some debate. there always is in iran, but they moved fairly expeditiously and mobilizing what was the largest attack by

attack on israel coming up. but there's another big story we're following as well. donald trump's historic criminal trial is set to begin tomorrow morning in new york with jury selection cnn's zachary cohn is joining us right now. so zach, you doing a lot of reporting in this work, can we expect tomorrow? >> yeah. well, if donald trump will make ory when he arris in low manhattan tomorr bthe rst time we've er en a former presidenstand trl for criminal charges and looked, it's about supposed to take about two months to play out, but twmo, weee the beginning of a crucial process. it's selecting a nel of 12 jurond some older nodes. were ultimy be charged with determining a verdt in this case, ght? and these jurors are gonnbe as hundreds of people who livinanhatt will be asked qutionabou donald trump and whether or not they have ng feelings e way or the other aut him or a candide r president in 2024, i wanted to take a look at some of these questions that jurors are gonna be asked tomorrow as they tried to narrow down the pool to 12. that's one of them is have you ever attended a rally or a campaign event for donald trump? do you currently followed donald trump on one social media site or have you

done so in the past, do you currently follow any anti-trump group or organization on social media? site or have you done in the past, do you have any feelings or opinions about how mr. trump is being treated in this case? have you ever considered yourself as supporter of or belong to any of the following? and it goes on to list groups like q. and on proud boys, oath keepers groups that we know we're at the us capitol on january 6, 2021. so tomorrow again, is really just the first step in this trial process. don trump has made a show in a lot of ways of this trial. he is trying to use it to campaign for president, but he's going to be in the courtroom four days a week for the next two months, not on the campaign trail. he faces 34 felony counts in this case. so the stakes are high for him and tomorrow that will that process will kick off and ultitely determine his legal fate will be meeting monday and tuesda and then thursday, friday, and wednesday. the' be off so he can go campaign on wednesday and saturday, basically it can be interesting to see how he weaves in s experiens in the courtroom on the camign. >> wating closely as we can. reporting for us. how do you

select a jury for a hig profile and contentious trial? i want to bring in jury consultant melissa gomez. she's the author of the book jury trials outside in leveraging psychology from discovery to decision. melissa, thanks so much for all the work you do with ac, so much for joining us. as i said, this is a trial like no other that we've seen. what do you see as the biggest challenges to seating a jury in a case like this? >> there are a lot of challenges here. i think one of the biggest challenges is to have people who can separate their political feelings from the evidence in this case. so you can see wealth that the questions that are being asked of the jurors are about political orientation, about whether they've attended rally please and just because someone either would or would not vote for trump doesn't necessarily mean they can't be a juror in this trial. otherwise, we wouldn't be able to have any jury at all. >> the issue is whether folks

>> can separate their political preferences and be able to view the evidence in this case without their political preferences clouding their judgment >> in selecting a jury. what do you expect trump's attorneys to zero in on and what will the prosecution be looking for? >> i think primarily what both sides are going to be looking for are folks that are so entrenched in their political positions that they see this as an opportunity to have an influence on a political election with their verdict those are going to be jurors who are not necessarily going to be rendering a verdict based on the evidence in the case is whether the prosecution has either met their burden are not met their burden but really to be able to have a larger influence on a political election. and that is why those questions about political elections are at the forefront of them. that's what year,

what else stood out to you in that juror questionnaire >> a lot of the questions there were pretty standard, but otherwise, it was really targeting people who not just have particular feelings about trump, but who have engaged in activities who belonged to specific organizations. so those are jurors, those are people who are taking the next step forward in their political preferences, which gives an indication that they feel more strongly, maybe more entrenched, and maybe more likely to render a verdict based on influencing an election that's opposed to determining whether donald trump is guilty or not guilty >> what do you say to the trump supporters who say he can't get a fair trial in manhattan. all these jurors will be coming from manhattan, which is very, very democratic. >> i would say that wouldn't necessarily be true so if

you're thinking of people who are polarized, strong on either end of the political spectrum. there are likely going to be some jurors who are going to do that. they're gonna be some jurors who are going to try to get on this panel in order to have an influence so let's on the political election >> but there are other people who can >> compartmentalize, who can say, i would vote for trump in a trial. but if the prosecution meets its burden of proof, i can say that they did. and there are some people who could say, i would not vote for trump, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they would automatically convict without the burden of proof being met >> in the middle. in the middle that you want to get >> will be staying in close touch with you as this process unfolds, could take several thank you very much for joining us. >> yeah, we're also >> following major breaking developments out of the middle east are special coverage of iran's attack on israel will continue. that's next every,
