12:00 pm
keepsake app. we would love a chance to frame it for you >> i'm pete muntean, it reagan national airport. this is cnn >> cnn hi and. welcome >> to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer in washington and we're following breaking news in just one hour. the united nations security council will hold that emergency meeting following iran significant attack against
12:01 pm
israel. israel defense forces now say iran and their proxy forces in iraq, yemen, and lebanon launched around 350 rockets and missiles into israel overnight. most of them shot down before they could do any he damage. but these attacks are threatening to escalate and already volatile, very dangerous situation in the middle east today, israel's war cabinet met to go over options for response to iran unprecedented first-ever direct attack. on israel from iran cabinet member benny gantz said vowing israel will exact a price from iran, doesn't abide meeting with other g7 leaders to virtually looking for a diplomatic path forward cnn has are correspondence around the globe covering all these late breaking developments for us, it's a rapidly developing situation that unfolding right now in the middle east. and i want to start with jeremy diamond. he's joining us from jerusalem right now. jeremy,
12:02 pm
what are you hearing from officials there about today's war cabinet meeting? >> well welfare, israel's war cabinet met for nearly five hours today. the topic of discussion was of course, to focus on how israel will respond to this unprecedented large-scale attack that iran launched against israel in the early hours of this morning, more than 300 missiles and drones jones directed at israel and although only a few of those ballistic missiles actually made it through israel and the united states air defense assets in the region hitting an israeli air base and causing with the israeli military has described as light damage. despite that, the israeli government and its military feel have vowed that they will respond. no matter what the question now is, what is the scale and the scope of that response going to be? and despite the nearly five hours of deliberations, i'm told that the israeli war cabinet meeting ended today without a clear decision about exactly how
12:03 pm
israel will respond. instead, the israeli million military has been tasked with coming up with additional military options for the israeli war cabinet to consider. but in the meantime, we are hearing from some members of israel's government, including the former defense minister, a member of the war cabinet, benny gantz, who has said that israel will quote, exact a price from iran in a way and time that suits us. the israeli prime minister is also already coming under pressure from his right wing, including the finance minister bezalel smotrich, the national security minister, itamar ben gvir, both of them saying that the israeli response should be firm with ben-gvir saying, israel should quote, go crazy in its military fonts against iran. iran for its part, has said that it's attack against israel has been concluded. they have described it as retaliation for that israeli strike that. took out a senior iranian commander in a iranian consular building in damascus, but they have said
12:04 pm
that if israel carries out an attack on iran then iran will once again retaliate a very dangerous back-and-forth wolf that could quickly escalate. >> yeah, it could explode at any minute. i were watching this closely. then we'd have been is also watching this closely. he's joining us from beirut right now ben, we're getting new details about raining and officials, warnings two neighboring nations prior to these attacks, what more you learning about those conversations >> well, yes, what we learned from scott mclean, our colleague in istanbul, is that iranian officials warned the turks that this was going to happen, that there would be an attack the turks pass that message on to the americans and obviously it ended up i said the israelis were aware as well and it really wasn't a huge surprise that it happened given how much talk about it proceeded, the attacks, we know that the run-in foreign minister in the preceding days
12:05 pm
was in touch with many of his counterparts across, for instance, the persian gulf region as well and in the aftermath of last night strikes, what we're seeing is that there was a really sharp intake of breath across the region for many of the regime things that are very concerned about the spread of the conflict from gaza well beyond there. you have, for instance, a a lot of popular anger at arab regimes that have condemned israel, but really done little else to help the people of gaza so what we heard, for instance, is king abdullah had a conversation with president joe biden in which he said that the best solution to avoiding an escalation avoiding perhaps even a regional war is to stop the gaza war immediately. and i
12:06 pm
think the impression of most of the leaders in the region is it the united states does have the where with all the influence over israel to actually make that happen. and certainly the events of last night really underscore the need for some sort of calming down of this situation. not just between iran and israel, but the heart of the matter, which of course is the war in gaza, wolfe >> any indication hamas though? it release those remaining hostages that may still be alive >> well what it appears is that those negotiations have once more hit a wall. there doesn't seem to be an agreement even though we saw william burns, the head of the cia, coming to the region, meeting with a cut 30 egyptian officials israeli officials, trying to work something out, but it appears yet again, after months of trying these negotiations are
12:07 pm
not bearing any fruit. now, for instance, hamas says they simply cannot come up with 40 hostages that fit the categories that the israelis are looking for. women, children, the elderly. they say that until there's some sort of cessation of hostilities in gaza, at least temporarily they're not even a people to find out who is where as far as the hostage is concerned, who is holding those hostages. so a ceasefire regardless, an unconditional ceasefire would perhaps prepare the grounds for a breakthrough on the issue of the hostages on the issue of the more than 8,000 palestine get in prisoners and date dnase detainees in his rarely jails. but certainly the desire the demand of regimes across region is that the war in gaza six months, almost 34,000 people
12:08 pm
dead. the war has got to stop. >> yeah. all right. can we have been in beirut for us jeremy diamond in jerusalem to both of you. thank you very much. meanwhile, president biden spoke with several world leaders today, including as we just noted, king abdullah of jordan, cnn's priscilla alvarez is over at the white house for us. priscilla, what are officials? they're saying about these discussions? >> well, they say that in those calls, the president and other leaders have strongly condemned iran's attacks against israel. but of course wolf, the focus here at the white house is trying to contain the risk of a wider regional conflict. this has been front and center on the minds of us officials here since those october 7 terrorist attacks. now, president biden did meet with the g7 leaders today and call that was meant to quote, coordinate a united diplomatic response. the keyboard there is diplomatic during that call they talked about. they put an emphasis on non-military actions us
12:09 pm
officials have since described the call as constructive, but they wouldn't provide details as to what actions specifically. we're talking word discussed, but what is the resounding message from that? and also from the white house's that the us will not participate in a response with israel and in terms of any retaliation against iran, in fact, in the call that the president and how with the israeli prime minister last night, the president made clear that the us will not participate in any offensive action against iran. instead advising these really prime minister to think strategically and carefully about his next steps. now, the us assessment here is that the israel was largely successful they were able to defend themselves. and there was no major damage to infrastructure within israel. take a listen to what national security council spokesperson john kirby had to say about last night's attacks think about what they threw at israel, right, several hundred drones and missiles over the course of a few hours and what
12:10 pm
damage did they cause? >> not very much. i mean, it was an incredible effort by israel, but also it shows that iran is not the military power weight that they, they claimed now according to a senior administration official, israel is not looking for escalation, but of course the big question is, what steps israel does take moving forward and whether israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu will take president biden's advice. all of those are open questions. here at the white house. but what does remain clear is that they do not want to see this spread any further. >> wolf, sorry, priscilla. thank you. priscilla alvarez over at the white house for us. let's discuss what's going on right now with democratic congressman raja krishnamoorthi of illinois congressman. thanks so much for joining us and give us your perspective because you're well plugged in how unprecedented was this iranian attack against israel >> but we've never seen anything like it certainly we don't remember a time when
12:11 pm
iran launched attacks directly from its soil onto his rarely soil. now, thankfully president biden, working with a regional partners, including the jordanians, were able to shoot down most of these missiles and drones before they did damage >> but >> what i would say is that at this point we should focus most of our attention on the national security supplemental sitting before congress because right now it says somebody hello, said the other de, a churchill or chamberlain moment either we stand up to aggressors from tehran to moscow, to beijing and deter aggression and pass the supplemental or we appease them. and that's really what's at stake in congress. and so that's what we have to do there. and then finally i would just say that the parties have to be forced to the table and we have to come to an immediate halt to hostilities linked to hostages being returned and massive humanitarian aid entering the gaza strip.
12:12 pm
>> i know you're back in your home district in illinois. this weekend. your key member of the house intelligence committee. have you already been in briefed on what's going on >> no, not yet when we were in washington on friday, we received information and classified setting and then i'll be getting more tomorrow. >> when you're back here in washington, israel is weighing its response to the israeli president isaac hertz, october today that balance is needed and israel is approaching all this. he said cool heavily. what do you see as the appropriate next step for israel? >> i personally obviously it's up to the israelis and their war cabinet and their government. however, i think at this point they i think had a victory last night in working with their partners and friends to defeat the massive attack that ron undertook and now they
12:13 pm
working with us should look to see how we can stand united against further aggression. >> and >> we, in the will also have the space. so to speak, to pass the national security supplemental, any kind of escalation, any kind of wider for war or hostilities there will make it harder, not easier for us to do the work that we need to do in washington. and so i would just respectfully requests are friends to not escalate and take this to a wider regional war that could spiral out a control instead, allow us to do our work past the national security supplemental help fund, the david sling, the arrow program, the iron dome programs, which proved proof. so successful last night in defeating those missile attacks, were you surprised that 99% of those rockets and missiles the armed drones that were coming in towards israel were intercepted
12:14 pm
by israel, by the us and the uk and other friendly countries in the region 99% pretty good. >> i think look, i think that i think that is a testament to president biden's leadership as well. in pre positioning assets, so that we are in a position to help coordinate with the jordanians, with the british, with the french in partnership with israeli he's where the missiles and drones are going and then taking them down before they can do damage. the images from last night were pretty stark. a lot of missiles were coming in all at once. but thankfully, the idf working with partners were able to make the most of the technology that we've jointly funded. yeah, >> i knew that technology, the iron dome and david's sling and the arrow, we're all very, very impressed with the patriot air defense missile system. all of that is really amazing, but
12:15 pm
i had no idea that it would be able to knock out hundreds of these incoming rockets and missiles as quickly. and here there's a effectively as they did >> and here's the thing, wolf, which is that in funding the security supplemental, we would help to replenish the iron dome. we'd have to help them modernize the air. david, david's sling and aerosystems. and remember, any kind of escalation of this conflict could trigger hezbollah entering the picture they have 150,000 missiles which could make last night look like a stroll in the park. so let's not go there. we don't want a wider war that spirals out of control. >> if you know, bending of your democratic colleagues in the house are extremely concerned over the way israel is conducting the war against hamas in gaza. you're saying northern gaza has now entered a period of famine the israeli president isaac herzog told me a couple of hours ago that israel has not using starvation
12:16 pm
as a weapon wanting to listen to what he said 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 war 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 the situation 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 so
12:17 pm
congressman krishnan murthy, what's your reaction to what we just heard >> i hope mr. herzog is right. however, the impact or effect of what's happening now cannot be denied. >> as jose and >> wrote in a very eloquent op-ed in the new york times the other day we are seeing a situation that demands demands massive humanitarian aid and food aid. we can have a situation where anyone is facing starvation especially the children, but any innocence in gaza. and we have to remember, we're talking about millions of people who are there right now >> congressmen, raja krishnamoorthi facts as usual for joining us thank you all >> have felt the >> cotton iran's attack on israel has crossed a key threshold in the tensions between the two countries how israel's reaction in any helped the us provides could

12:23 pm
biden reiterating the united states is ironclad support for israel as congressional leaders remain at odds over additional funding cnn correspondent natasha bertrand is with me here in the cnn newsroom. natasha, how is the us prepared to defend israel from further attacks? >> well, we know that in the wake of the october 7 attack, the us military surge firepower and military assets to the region because of the possibility of this very scenario just in case something were to spiral and the israelis needed more help from the united states to defend against an attack either by iran or by its proxy groups. and now of course we're learning that president biden also surged additional military assets to the region, including additional fighter aircraft as well as air defense systems and destroyers to the eastern mediterranean sea. after israel struck this building in damascus, that iran has claimed was its consulate. and so from that moment on what happened about ten days ago, the us and its allies, they were really
12:24 pm
preparing for a significant retaliation by the iranians and they prepared a such, they moved assets. and what we're told is that the destroyers that were moved to the mediterranean, they in fact did intercept a number of ballistic missiles between four and six according to a senior military official in us aircraft, both on land and on c by landon that took off by land and by sea. they also shot down more than 70 drones and a patriot battery, which is that sophisticated air defense system the us has really all over the world that also took out one of the ballistic missiles. so by enlarge israel's own air defense system, the arrow defense system that really was very productive to say the least, it took out the vast majority according to military officials, of those ballistic missiles that were incoming but the us military, the uk, other allies in the region, they were also extremely active last night and helping israel take this out. and so it's that kind of firepower that you're going to continue to see really stay in the region and help the israeli arrow system. these really arrow system david
12:25 pm
slaying the iron dome, all were very very effective indeed. and the us by knocking intercepting a lot of those incoming rockets and missiles and drones save potentially a lot of lives in israel could have been a disaster. all right, thanks very much in a toss-up return reporting for us. thank you. i'm coming up, we'll have more on our breaking news coverage of iran's attack on israel and how it plunged the middle east deeper and deeper into uncharted waters up next we'll discuss with an expert that concerns this it's good all turn into an all-out conflict in the region >> the assignment when audie cornish, listen wherever you get your podcasts did you. know you can get 40% off a single pair of glasses that america's vast they savings won't last forever. unlike your eternal colonel elation. okay, settle down, shop online or book an exam at america's best.com have always been prone to hair thinning is getting older.

12:30 pm
coverage of iran's attack on israel. this is the first time around has launched a direct assault on israeli soil from directly inside iran, last hour or the idf said 350 the rockets and missiles had been fired at israel during that attack. but the vast majority of these really say 99% were intercepted soon. the united nations security council will hold an emergency meeting in new york about this the israeli war cabinet just wrapped up. it's meeting as at weighs israel's response no decision were told was made, but israel has told us that it's not looking for a significant escalation with iran. iran has also sent messages to the united states indicating that it's retaliation against israel has concluded president biden pledging what he called ironclad us support for israel in a phone call with the prime minister benjamin ateneo. but he also warned that the us will not participate in any counter-strike against iran.
12:31 pm
i'm joined now by ali via as he's the director of the iran project for the international crisis group group. that's an important organization that works to prevent conflict and wars. aly, thanks so much for joining us. what is your analysis? first of all of this iranian attack against israel and what what arrives intentions are it's great to be with you, wolf. of course, this >> attack cross >> a psychological threshold, as you said, it's the first time iran is striking israel directly from its own soil. but i think it was also an attack that was designed to be flashy but not fatal and in that sense is very similar to what iran did in 2020 after the us killed general. so they money in iraq and iran responded with a barrage of ballistic missiles into us bases in iraq which resulted in no casualties. it was a risky operation, but it did not escalate any further. and i think the iranians were seeking to achieve the same
12:32 pm
objective restored degree of deterrence with israel without triggering a broader escalation that would bring them in direct confrontation with israel or the us. >> what kind of response ali, do you expect from israel? >> well it's hard to say. i think israel would be probably itching to retaliate in kind and target iran on its own soil. but here is where the biden administration, i think class play the very important role in trying to contain these tensions and prevents the war in gaza from turning into an all-out conflict in the region by encouraging prime minister netanyahu to take the win. basically shutting down 99% of iranian missiles and drones was a real significant achievement for israel. and if it draws a line under this for tat and doesn't escalate any further. it can basically come out as a winner. >> yeah, these really could have done it without the us
12:33 pm
assistance the uk assistance and some friendly arab governments in the region as well. the uss clearly helped israel deter this iranian attack, but says it won't participate in any offensive action against iran. what message is president biden, do you think sending >> that is precisely the message that's basically iran and israel are now even israel's targeted iranian consulate in damascus, which prompted this iranian retaliatory act and the risk and the alternative scenario is that if israel targets around on its own soil, then iranians would also have to respond. this cycle can continue and spiral out of control. and also, we'll take another real concern into consideration, which i'm sure is on the top of mind of the many decision-makers in the biden administration, which is that if israel indeed attacks around on his own soil it will clearly demonstrate that iran's
12:34 pm
regional deterrence and it's conventional military capabilities have not been able to secure iran. and that means that iran would start looking for alternatives and given how close around is to the verge of nuclear weapons, it might seek an alternative in the ultimate deterrent, which only comes in the form of nuclear weapons that would make a region that is already in so much turmoil that much more dangerous >> yeah, that's a really important point. you're making >> another >> really great grave concern to the israelis, the iran back group hezbollah in lebanon hezbollah also launched a lot of rockets for southern lebanon overnight into israel. how should israel be looking at that specific threat from hizballah? >> well, the simple calculation is that look at how much the war in gaza against a much lesser enemy, hamas has been difficult and complicated and imagine his bulla, which is a much more battle-hardened adversary with missiles that
12:35 pm
are even, it has an arsenal precision guided missiles that could target critical infrastructure. in israel and of course, the last episode of compensation we had between israel and hezbollah was in 2006, that did not result in an israeli victory. basically came to a draw a confrontation with his bulldog would be extremely costly. of course, israel will always come out on the top because it's a much stronger conventional military power and it also has looper weapons. >> but all of this >> would render the concept of israel as a safe haven under shadow and about that, i think in the long run would be very damaging for israel. and that is why president biden is trying to contain these essentially. >> yeah, let's not forget, hezbollah has thousands of rockets and missiles in their inventory in south lebanon many of them could reach not just northern israel or haifa, but even tel aviv and even further south long-range capabilities,
12:36 pm
which potentially could kill a lot of civilians if they were to unleash that weaponry aly via is thank you so much for your expertise. thanks for all you're doing. appreciate it very much. >> right, pleasure. >> it will be a very historic day in new york city tomorrow, as donald trump's first criminal trial begins, we have details of what we should expect to see in court. that's next >> you, think. of the titanic, how really happen, special too well with from here, sunday, april 28, did nine on cnn broke off the boss. >> sorry. >> acre time. it's me to hear that. that's why we protect all your vehicles here. but hey, that they're always sticking it to the boss flight. >> you going to take that. why would that concern me? >> because, you're the aren't >> we never actually discussed

can't be in two places at once in there citing this trial in manhattan. that's going to consume most of the time over the next two months, trump has to be in court four days a week. peak with his attorneys, and they're saying that doesn't give them enough time to review classified sensitive evidenced in the mar-a-lago documents case. now, we've seen trump tried to make this argument before. it's often tried to play his various criminal cases and various court deadlines against each other. aileen cannon, who is overseeing the mar-a-lago case, has been a little bit more sympathetic than some of the other judges we've seeing in these other jurisdictions. jack smith has continued to apply pressure trying to move this case forward to trying to move things along, but there is no trial date in the florida case and will have to see if we ultimately get one at some point, but that's another attempt to push that down the line. so >> set the scene for us. what are we seek to borrow more? >> yeah, absolutely. tomorrow is the start of the first trial for a former president facing criminal charges and donald trump is expected to be there in-person. and when he arrives in lower manhattan, he and about 100 other people that live in manhattan will arrive at the courthouse and have to answer questions in this jury selection process, this is
12:43 pm
essential and it's how the process, the trial process the next two months will begin. jurors will essentially come into the room and into the courtroom hundreds at a time and be asked questions about their views, potential biases, potential feelings about donald trump, either pro or anti donald trump and honoree a few of the questions that jurors, potential jurors will be asked as lawyers tried to narrow down this pool to 12 plus a few alternate that's one of them is have you ever attended a rally or campaign event for donald trump do you currently followed donald trump on any social media site or have you done so in the past, do you currently follow any anti-trump group or organization on any social media site, do you have any feelings or opinions about how mr. trump is being treated in this case? have you ever considered yourself a supporter of or belong to any of the following. it mentions groups like the proud boys, the oath keepers groups that we'd know were present on january 6, 2021 at the us capitol, the groups that do support donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. so really prosecutors trying to defense attorney is trying to find 12 people who can come to a fair verdict. in this case. but this is a case
12:44 pm
unlike anyone we've ever seen, we have to see how long that will take. row >> jurors and subaltern, it's as well. all right. is that cohen? thank you very much. the nypd secret the secret service and the new york court system are all taking multi-layered steps right now to ensure that everyone stay safe during this trial in new york, cnn for in gras takes a closer look at their security at the courthouse >> the crush of media protesters and supporters and the complicated task of protecting the presumptive republican presidential nominee, who is also the defendant this whole area is going to look very different come monday >> yeah. i mean, obviously, a lot of area brynn is going to be frozen for the arrival well, it will be expressive outside manhattan criminal court. this is where donald trump's trial kicks off monday. police are preparing for what even they described as an unprecedented

12:46 pm
responding to immediate threats. >> we got word of that bomb threat. this morning, since trump's indictments, law enforcement says threats against judges, district attorneys, and others have become almost expected. >> we're gonna be looking at the threat picture on a constant basis. social media scrubbing just listening to people making calls or making threats online. >> how do you handle that? >> we want to find the basis? that's rad. is it real, is it an online warrior? is it what kind of extra security preparations do we have to take? >> it includes also protecting jurors were told those picked could possibly be treated the same as jurors in trump's civil trial against e. jean carroll they may be driven in daily from a secret location for their safety and moving. trump, who likely will spend most of his knights at trump tower, will be a calculated choreography between the nypd and secret service who have triggered more robust security

12:53 pm
conflict between iran and israel there's been a lot of violence over the years, but typically has taken place either coming from proxies of iran such as hezbollah or it's taken place on other grounds, especially in syria, where israel has attacked iranian targets in the past. iran has never struck israel proper, although it is certainly aimed at israeli diplomatic if facilities and other targets all around the world. and so we're very much in, i think a new stage of this war and one that is extremely dangerous for the region and for the rest of the world. >> give us a sense of how iran's leaders view this moment and how the people of iran might see it as well. >> well, i think there's a distinction between the two. the leaders and the people. the people of iran have really no interest in any kind of a conflict with israel, whatever their feelings on the war in gaza or on the broader question of arab-israeli peace iranians are tired of war. they're
12:54 pm
tired of the conflict and differences that their government has with the rest of the world. and they're quite eager for a more normal situation in their own country as well as in the wider region. the leadership of course, sees it very differently since coming to power in 1979. on the heels so venice law, microevolution to her on and the iranian leadership has very much been oriented toward at animosity toward the west, but especially toward the united states and israel >> this is >> a precarious moment, of course, because iran supreme leader is 85 years old, he is likely to be passing from the scene over the course of several years and iran will have to go through a succession process. and so that leadership two does not want war, but of course it feeds on the hostility in the conflict in the antagonism with the west and especially with israel, >> one effect, this is an could this weekend's around attack against israel have on the war that's ongoing in gaza
12:55 pm
>> well, i think the first thing that it does is it brings the united states in the israeli leadership to a better place than they were just a few days ago the strike that. israel launched that killed seven senior members of the iranian revolutionary guard-core at it in iranian consulate in damascus took place on the same day as the strike that killed seven members of world central kitchen and humanitarian group that was bringing food and other much needed supplies to the people of gaza. and that created a real breach between the biden administration, and the israeli leadership over the conduct of the war and particularly the israelis readiness to provide the necessary humanitarian support to the people of gaza there was a shift in the israeli position since then, but i think that it's clear the ironclad support that president biden pledged for the israeli people. the demonstration of how important it was to have, not just the united states, but the
12:56 pm
wider international community, the british and others. the jordanians, all working together to ensure that this iranian attack did not succeed, will reinforce to everyone in the israeli leadership, including prime minister netanyahu the. us relationship is absolutely central and that israel has to conduct this war in a way that it retains the support of its closest friends and allies. >> excellent analysis from susan, suzanne meloni, thanks so much for joining us. suzanne thank you >> i'm coming up by dramatic video. can >> fire from south lebanon along the israeli border there's vallow has not released a statement praising arounds attack on israel we'll have more on the tensions in the region after a quick break. >> there's new ally in the fight against climate change. this is blue car business, blue carbon. we just need to protect nature will do the breast
