on this new hour of ayman,

fresh reporting on how top us officials are worried that israel's response to iran will provoke a wider war, one that could drag the united states into this conflict. >> new reporting on the president convening top congressional leaders to discuss retaliatory strikes for iran as cause grows forrester and legislative response. and buckle up, big apple. a historic week ahead where jury selection begins tomorrow in the hush money trial of donald trump, the first american president to sit for a criminal trial. i'm ayman mohyeldin. let's do it. tensions are high in the middle east as the world waits on israel's next moves in the aftermath of iran's retaliatory attack. united nations envoy issued a stark warning at the emergency security council meeting earlier. >> we are not a frog in boiling water. we are a nation of lions. following such a massive and direct attack on israel, the entire world let alone israel cannot settle for an action. we will defend our future.

>> this comes as president biden is cautioning israel not to retaliate against iran. chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell reported earlier that biden told israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that the us will not participate in offense of military actions against iran. with top officials subsequently telling nbc news that biden has privately expressed concern that netanyahu is trying to drag washington into a broader conflict. israel has been facing widespread and growing criticism over its military approach in gaza and the latest escalation raises major questions about how it will proceed with its bombardment on that calls for a cease-fire from world leaders around the globe. and israeli military spokesperson said that the operation in gaza will continue and that quote hamas and iran want to ignite the middle east. as jordan's foreign minister

put it, the challenge after yesterday's attack is to end the aggression so the world can refocus on gaza. here with me on set to discuss this and more, and you-- anna schechter from nbc news. it's great to have you back with us. from your reporting, what options might be presented to the prime minister by the israeli military as he and other members of his coalition contemplate what we heard there from the envoy to the un that israel is going to respond or at least will not stand for this aggression? >> a series of plans are going to be presented ranging between small to larger pushback and firing back at iran for what happened saturday night. israeli officials that i spoke with would not really go into any specific details. but my reporting from over the last six months indicates that there is a long list of people, of individuals that israel thinks may have had something to do with the planning of october 7, and they want to go one by one and take out those people, be it in the region,

the middle east, lebanon, syria, and so that is potentially from what i can glean, a tactic that they might take. in the next few days i will continue this reporting and we will see what kinds of plans. and here's the thing. israel wants to have some kind of surprise attack so even by them coming out after this lengthy meeting and saying well now the idf is going to present these plans, it has been very strange to watch how they sort of broadcast what they are going to do to the world but then things seem haphazard which i think has increased frustration on part of americans because they are trying to figure out do you have a strategy? what are you going to do? we've seen tension growing between biden and the nfc and israeli counterparts. >> for america's part in this, the word that we heard today from the deputy us representative to the united nations is accountability that

while the us is calling on israel to not retaliate and support and they would not support any offensive war, they are saying that they want to see the world hold iran accountable. do we have any ideas of what that actually looks like? >> i think the israelis have probably spoken with americans and said we cannot just do absolutely nothing even though we had some reporting where biden was saying just take the win. the defense and the fact that so few casualties in the face of this, the defense worked pretty well so biden was saying guys, take a win. but i would say across the political spectrum, the officials that i spoke with said we can't just do nothing. they've got to do something. and it seems that officially the americans are agreeing there has to be some kind of a consequence. otherwise the fear is that iran will feel like well there is no deterrence and they feel they have to make that strong stance. that is his whole mo, appearing

strong regardless of the diplomatic stakes. >> domestically in terms of american politics we know the president has made calls to congressional leaders to try to get aid delivered to both ukraine and israel. do we have any idea how last night attack advances, certainly the aid bill that israel is seeking and that this administration wants? >> biden is hoping that what happened will actually push some of the trump republicans to vote for this bill that would open up this aid that people who really study the region are saying this is crazy that this has been held up for so many weeks and the region is desperate. look at ukraine, look at gaza. the israel gaza conflict, on both sides you have people arguing. israel needs support, the people of gaza are suffering, aid needs to get in there and there needs to be more resources sent to the region.

but i would say the same thing about ukraine. i think ukraine is in dire straits and it is mind-boggling to a lot of people watching this that that bill, that initiative to get those funds to the region has been held up so long. >> always a pleasure. thank you for excellent reporting as always. take care. >> joining me now political contributor ben rose who is a former deputy national security adviser. it's good to have you on the program. we know that biden officials are obviously worried about what an israeli response might be. some far right members of the government are calling for a harsh response and in the war cabinet meeting today officials said that they are still dealing with proxies in the region and that we are still in the middle of a war and that the response has to be even crazier than what we've seen before. what do you anticipate coming out of israel?

>> the key question here is whether the israeli response is to launch an attack inside of iranian territory. what we've seen here in the last couple of weeks is two things that have not happened before. we saw an israeli strike on an arabian diplomatic facility that killed several senior members of the iranian revolutionary guard corps but it was an attack on a sovereign piece of territory and the diplomatic facility. then we saw an unprecedented attack on to israeli territory so suddenly what has been a proxy war is a direct exchange of fire and an escalation. if they attack iran, i think iran will be compelled to strike back and perhaps do things they did not do the last time around like perhaps mobilizing the thousands of hezbollah rockets pointed at israel or perhaps prioritizing ballistic missiles over the kind of drones that are easier to shoot down.

that is one way to go and that's the thing that biden wants to see happen. another way to go is for israel to launch an attack against iranian proxies. lebanon, syria, iraq or maybe something that is not visible. a cyber attack against them that would be more like where things were in this proxy war a couple weeks ago. i think that is the core choice before netanyahu and the coalition. >> can israel carry out, from what you've seen, an attack against iran without the united states? it's one thing to attack a consulate facility in syria that remains somewhat ambiguous and that does not necessarily draw an immediate response, but if israel were to try to genuinely attack directly, can it do so without the united states? either the day of or the day after? >> yeah. they certainly have that

capability. i'm sure that they would prefer that the united states help facilitate that but israel has the capability to strike iran directly. they have not yet done so. they've may be done things in the cyberspace for instance but the concern that the united states has is, if israel does that then iran responds in kind, the likelihood of the united states getting drawn into that conflict goes up which is the first concern and then the danger to us personnel and servicemembers in the region. and then secondly, potentially massive global economic disruption. does iran try to shut down shipping through the very busy straight? what happens to iranian energy resources that are part of what impacts global oil prices? there are all kinds of ways in which this could go and they don't want to see another further escalation. is there another all-out war in lebanon? these are the types of things the us has been trying to avoid since october 7 and i'm sure

that is informing their consultation. >> what do you make of the jordanian response to what happened yesterday and whether that decision by the jordanian leadership to undertake the defense of israel or perhaps the defense of his own airspace under the guise of sovereignty ended up benefiting israel. what do you make of his decision and the criticism that he is facing across the arab world? social media and even beyond other countries have really gone after him and does that put him in a difficult situation where he does not have a lot of support right now on the ground among many of his, i guess, fellow countrymen. jordanian and palestinians? >> this entire conflict puts sunni leaders in a difficult position. in the gulf states, in egypt, but most of all in jordan where you have an enormous palestinian population. while those leaders, there's

no love for iran there. they are aligned against iran. and on the other end, their own people are sympathetic to the palestinians and to what is happening in gaza and are really enraged at the military operations. itches creates this press device around the league like king of delaware he's cut between security requirements and relationships that informed decisions like participating in shooting down the iranian bombardment of israel. and his own people who feel he's not doing enough to try to use the relationship to bring an end to the military operation is yet another escalation risk. the longer the war goes on, there are all these different ways in which unpredictable things can happen in one of the things that bears watching is the kind of domestic political situation and stability for a leader like him. >> do you think this was a

strategic mistake that the narrative that israel had been finding itself increasingly isolated after six months of what some have said was a disastrous war in gaza and not releasing hostages and not completely destroying hamas that you finally had american politicians talk about conditioning aid to israel? in the past 24 hours that narrative has changed with politicians rushing to their defense. even saudi arabia and jordan to some extent coming to its defense. the narrative has changed and it is a strategic failure by iran. >> this kind of logic that you have to do something militarily is part of the problem in the middle east. and look. the reality is, the situation in gaza is the same today as it was a week ago and in fact the likelihood of a cease-fire for a hostages deal is probably further away because israel equates hamas and iran directly , tensions are up and so the

losers, as always in this circumstance, are the people of gaza, the palestinian people. i guess iran can show that it's not afraid to take a shot at israel but i just don't see the logic that you have to constantly respond militarily to everything that takes place in the region. that's part of the problem we are dealing with and hopefully the cycle of escalation can be broken but thus far since october 7 it has been a pretty steady ratchet upward. >> that question will fall squarely on the shoulder of the prime minister as to whether or not he will retaliate for what happened last night. ben rose, always a pleasure. thank you so much and it's good to see you again on this show. >> next return to the jury selection set to get underway in the donald trump hush money trial. that helps treat and prevent, all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine

but this is the first time that an american president has ever stood trial in a criminal case. trump has repeatedly tried to put the brakes on this trial and in just the past week alone, trying and failing four separate times to delay the start of it. come monday he will finally be forced to face the music. does it disgraced ex-president constantly complaining on his failed social media site, the campaign trail and anyone who will listen about facing a two- tiered justice system. but the fact is he has seen it work in his favor, not the other way around. as politico puts it, the tolerance of his tirades is perhaps the most glaring sign of the judicial system's trump exceptionalism. but it's far from the only example. over the past year in ways large and small he has consistently been given more freedom and privileges then virtually any other defendant in his shoes.

joining me now, chief for mother jones and msnbc political analyst. justice correspondent at the nation. good to have both of you with us. david i will start with something that you wrote that i thought was very poignant. while this trial does not address the criminality or the alleged criminality of his involvement in the election interference case, you write the trial carries powerful symbolism for all of trump's cases. this one reminds the nation that he emerged from a sleazy sewer that blended trashy celebrity culture and misogyny. in other words, it is still an important case. do you think it will fundamentally change how america views donald trump? >> no. it will not fundamentally change anything. people's views in favor of him or opposed to him are pretty set in stone. there is a slim portion of the country that may be moved in

one way or another but this certainly reaffirms the donald trump that became a politician. when i wrote that piece i didn't mean to dismiss the legal issue at stake here. this is an election interference case. he paid the hush money, recorded it falsely in order to cover up a legal in-kind contribution. why do we know that it's illegal? because michael cohen went to jail for this. there's already a crime that has been established by a federal prosecution. i do think that there will be something, i don't know if shocking is the right word but something unsettling. it will be new in the list of outrages. see him go into the courtroom for a criminal trial in which he will have to sit there for weeks on end unlike the other civil trials where he came and went as he pleased. witness testimony that comes out will not be about numbers of

the size of an apartment. it will be about him allegedly having an extramarital affair while his wife had just given birth to their son, it will be about the involvement of the national enquirer and how he had this and alliance with sleazy tabloids to cover up not just this but other aspects of his personal life that he did not want voters to know about. it gets to the core of the type of politician and celebrity he is, and in some ways it's a bit of a trump origin story. >> to that point, the trial and the prosecution has to establish that a crime has been committed which david just said was already established with michael cohen and what he was found guilty of. how do you expect the circus to go tomorrow and the opening style of the prosecution to look like?

>> there will be a circus because as usual in this system, trump is treated as you explained, to a different standard than everybody else. if this was any other person, trump would be wheeled into the courthouse on a hannibal lector gurney because he cannot keep his mouth shut and he is in violation of a gag order that the judge put in place. if it were me, i would be in jail. if it were you, you would be in jail. all of us regular human beings would be in jail already but trump isn't in jail so he's going to walk in and give some kind of statement before he goes into the courtroom. is going to go into a black hole for a couple hours and then he's going to come out before any of the reports have come out about what actually happened at the trial, he's going to spin it into whatever political campaign thing he wants. he's going to sit on the steps and lie about what happened. lie about stormy daniels. lie about michael cohen. lie about the judge. lie about the judges family. lie about the prosecutors, and

nothing is going to happen to him and is going to happen to all of us for six weeks. in terms of the law here it's pretty simple. you don't have to do much. we already know for the most part that he had sects with stormy daniels, we already know he lied about it, we already know he paid her money to make sure that she kept quiet, and we already pretty much know that he took that money illegally from his campaign funding without telling anybody. all the prosecution has to do legally is establish that trump knew what he was doing at every point. you know who can establish that? michael cohen, because michael cohen was the person who was instructed to do all of these dirty shenanigans on behalf of trump and as david pointed out, he had already been to jail so he has no incentive other than to tell the truth and that should be it in terms of the law. >> one thing we have forgotten

that was a big news item when michael cohen was being sentenced and prosecuted. that is that trump was named by federal prosecutors as individual 1. they did not use his name but we knew who it was, as a co-conspirator. he instructed michael cohen to take the actions that landed michael cohen in jail. soda-- so according to feds, he is already a co-conspirator in a crime. when you look at the political story and what was said about his special treatment, if you read the us attorney's book, you see that the fed stopped to the investigation after michael cohen. they did not look further into trump's culpability. the justice department does not prosecute sitting presidents but at the same time, how do you have a guy who ordered a

crime not be indicted or held accountable fully-- further investigated? we can ask bill bar that question who was the attorney general at the time but he is already involved in what the feds say is a crime that did happen. >> let me ask you about jury selection and to your point about this being a circus. we've gotten a look at the questionnaire that's going to be used and does not ask about who they voted for but there are 42 questions. one of the interesting ones, if they belong to extremist groups like q1 on or and to five. how important will the next few weeks be and how do they find someone who does not already have a strong union about trump as david was saying earlier? we know what you feel and what you do not feel. how do you get a jury to ignore that and look at the facts? >> jury selection is going to be the ballgame because all trump needs is one cultist, one

trump supported to sneak into that jury and he can hang the whole thing. that's going to be where the ballgame is but to answer your question at a higher level, ayman, the goal is not to find somebody who doesn't have an opinion on trump . that is impossible. the goal is to find people who in good faith are willing to put aside what they already know and believe about trump and instead, taken only the evidence presented to them at trial. that is difficult. that is frankly not something that i could do. i would be like no, i've already made up my mind. i am out of that jury. i think in new york city, you can find 12 people, not who don't have an opinion but who are willing to that aside as best they can and listen to the evidence presented to them at trial.

i think there is a hope that that can happen and i hope that both the judge and the prosecutors are looking for those 12 people. attorneys are going to be looking for their own cultists. -- >> who is wearing the red tie. david, elie, please stick around. we've got a lot more to discuss. we have to talk about the growing demands and brewing dysfunction across capitol hill next. capitol hill next. with mild-to-moderate covid-19 and a high-risk factor for it becoming severe. it does not prevent covid-19. my symptoms are mild now, but i'm not risking it. if it's covid, paxlovid. paxlovid must be taken within the first five days of symptoms, and helps stop the virus from multiplying in your body. taking paxlovid with certain medicines can lead to serious or life-threatening side effects or affect how it or other medicines work, including hormonal birth control. it's critical to tell your doctor about all the medicines you take because certain tests or changes in their dosage may be needed. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems,

what is unclear though, is it house republicans will move forward with sending articles of impeachment against homeland security leader alejandro mayorkas. the gop-- the house gop worn senator schumer that they could block all business if democrats don't agree to put him on trial for what they call his mishandling of the southern border. even if democrats agree and how speaker johnson sends the articles over, there are six senate republicans who are not on board with an impeachment trial citing a lack of clear evidence. my panel is back with me. elie i will start with you. in iran's statement last night when they confirm strikes were concluded they've a humanly warned the united states to stay away but what do you make of this bipartisan rush or coalition of lawmakers who are now asking for a direct us response? would that be a mistake? >> yes. here is all i'm going to say about that because that is far from my field of expertise. what i can tell you, parliamentary, the republican

plan to inflict maximum pain on democrats by dragging the alejandro mayorkas thing out is in direct conflict with the republican plan to rush aid to israel and do whatever they are going to do as quickly as possible because to enact pain on alejandro mayorkas they need to slow down the process and to rush money there as fast as possible they need to speeded up. what we do not know quite yet is which republican thing they want to do more which is what we still have to wait and see. what i do think is that the democrats need to be playing at their level. we know that republicans want to rush this money so let's be aware of that and make sure we get rid of the alejandro mayorkas thing first so it does not cause maximum pain. if the republicans are going to play hardball it is time to play hardball back with them on

things that they want. and that is what i hope the democratic party realizes as we head into the week. >> what do you make of that? the chance of democrats actually playing hardball. it's clear republicans are up to shenanigans by trying to force democrats into agreeing to a trial of alejandra mayorkas and basically holding up aid to american allies, both facing national security threats? >> there's not a lot of consistency to what the republicans are doing. i think that chuck schumer and other democrats believe that the impeachment business against mayorkas is a lot of bunk and wanted to get rid of it as soon as they can to basically have-- in court you would have a summary dismissal of the case you thought had no merit. >> is that a smart thing? you would tacitly even-- even if you are going through the motions-- >> i think they have to do something. senator lisa murkowski the

republican/independent of alaska has come out and said she thought they should just get rid of this right away so they have to do something of this thing comes. but i think chuck schumer as quickly as possible, it's the kind of far right republicans in the senate saying if you do that and do not give us a full trial we are going to block everything. will they be blocking aid to israel? they would be blocking aid to ukraine which they want to do. >> politically they would not be able to block aid to israel. >> but they are going to get tied up over their own sneakers as well so i think it is going to be a very messy week and throughout all of that you are going to have the hawks calling for an attack on iran . lindsey graham, one or two others are saying that as well. >> when it's clear that israel itself may not even want to do that and biden is trying to

prevent that from happening. so a lot of crosscurrents happening in the coming week. >> what do you think, elie, of how the democrats played this hardball? you have republicans accusing mayorkas a vital violating laws and making false statements under oath in articles of impeachment and to david's point you have some republicans who have gone as far as calling this a waste of time like lisa murkowski but others pointing to the fact that they have not seen the evidence yet. what does it say about how far the democrats are going to let this play out? >> mayorkas is being impeached because the democrats impeached donald trump twice in the republican said no we need to them in case someone as well and they couldn't figure out how to do it against biden so mayorkas is taking the fall because it works with there, immigrants are bad and scary. the impeachment charges against him from a legal standpoint, scientists would call them stupid.

there is nothing there. mayorkas implemented the policies of the administration and republicans don't like the policies so they are trying to impeach them. david brought up lisa murkowski and i think we are up to level seriously concerned on the susan collins scale of caring about things. alexander mayorkas is not getting impeached so the question is simply how much time do the republicans want to waste not impeaching him and that is kind of what we need to play out this week against the backdrop of actual, serious things happening in the world so it's a question of how clownish the republicans want to look at the moment. >> these are not serious people as was famously said. david, elie, greatly appreciated as always. a journal is known for his coverage on the genocide in

in november,-- was fleeing her home in gaza when she was killed by an israeli sniper. according to the middle east guide who has obtained footage and multiple witnesses, a warning that some might find the following video disturbing. >> a respected teacher and a beloved family member walked with hope for safety but in an instant, that hope was shattered. >> horrifying video struck a chord with one journalist who said it reminded him of what he witnessed while covering the genocide in bosnia. serbian snipers firing on civilians in broad daylight in an op-ed for the washington post, he notes quote when israel shoots civilians, blocks aid, attacks hospitals and cuts off water supplies, i remember the same outrages in bosnia.

he says that witnessing a genocide firsthand as a jewish person made him understand the necessity of speaking out as atrocities emerge, especially if your government is actively abetting the war crimes. he says through the years i realize that exposing war crimes wherever they occur is central to my identity as an american, a journalist, and a jew. with me to discuss this is the writer and editor peter maass . it is great to have you on this show and i want to ask you about how you came to that realization of how exposing war crimes is so important to who you are and how did covering the genocide in bosnia play a role in your conclusion to what you are seeing now? >> it was precisely by virtue of covering the war that i came to that sense of identity. i think it was one that a lot of journalists and other witnesses and survivors of the war in bosnia which was later

ruled to be genocide, it was a realization that like a lot of people and not just myself, came to. it was impossible. i went there as a journalist who never covered war before and i saw in front of myself people being shot by snipers and salsa billion snipers being bombed. aid shipments being cut off, water being cut off, people going hungry. all of these things. particularly if you see that level of attacks on civilians as your first experience of war , which was mine, it it in dental bully-- it indelibly impresses you and it was later ruled to be genocide. you would have to be a very-- person than i am to not have that be the center of your life

particularly since i covered wars after that. >> in your peace you lay out the similarities that you see of what happened with bosnia and what you see happen today and you're right quote, atrocities tend to rhyme. what are those atrocities that you see rhyming between bosnia and what is happening now in gaza? >> to take one example, the terrible video you just showed which i mentioned in the story that i wrote, of a gazan grandmother being shot pretty clearly by an israeli. this is something that i sigh regularly and that was a regular feature in bosnia. i stayed in this hotel called the holiday in and regularly there was sniper fire. one day there was sniper fire and i heard someone scream and there was a man who had just gotten shot and i watched him drag himself away seriously injured. when i see these videos emerging , when i see people who are escaping conflict in their

wagons with their donkeys and horses and when i see pictures of children in the hospitals who have been killed, these are things that i also saw in bosnia in significant numbers. the numbers are even more significant now in gaza. you would have to be death in so many ways to not see the concordance with what is going on in gaza now. one thing i would add is that i saw a lot of legal killing of civilians in other wars. it is not illegal to kill civilians in warfare. there are a lot of conditions in which it is not a war crime and i saw that were they were killing civilians that were not war crimes. in bosnia that was war crimes, that was a genocide and there's too much of what i am seeing that reminds me of that unfortunately. >> you are jewish and your ancestors were part of the non-

zionist movement. they supported immigration to palestine but opposed the creation of a jewish state. what can you tell us about the history of the movement of jewish people defending the rights of palestinians up until this moment? >> i would not say defending the rights of palestinians was the primary motivation of the non-zionists. my great great grandfather, my great-grandfather were in that movement and were significant donors. they were mainly motivated by the fact, this is before world war ii, that so many jews were being persecuted in terrible ways before world war ii and the holocaust so they donated a lot of money to resettle jews elsewhere and also elsewhere. they were non-zionists because to have jews going to palestine

to live there, but they did not want a jewish state. they thought a jewish state first off would call into question the loyalties of jews in america and other countries. there's another country elsewhere that is the jewish state and you must be loyal to that one and not this one that you live in. and the second reason is that they were concerned about violence between jews and arabs. if there was going to be a fight for, in terms of who would control the government there. >> how do you think israel conducts itself under scrutiny right now should be held to account? an eye for an eye or 100 eyes for one eye is not a thing. do you think that is what israel is doing taking out 100 eyes for an eye? >> not to take this metaphor too far but it matters which ones we are talking about, military or civilian. the civilian toll is so far,

there are more than 30,000 people who have been killed and more frightfully there are 13,000 children. in bosnia there were somewhere around seven or 8000 children killed. my feeling is that there is enough, what appears to be evidence to justify investigation by war crimes prosecutors. i don't know for sure. intent is important and battlefield conditions, how much do soldiers know when they are killing civilians? are they intending to kill civilians? is it systematic? these took years for the international tribunal for former yugoslavia, years for them to parse through before they reached verdicts and in some cases they threw out some of the indictments. my feeling is that there is enough there to justify investigations by duly authorized authorities and even if you don't believe israel is committing war crimes, support the investigations because then we can get to the bottom of it. >> and it would exonerate them

if they are not committing genocide. peter maass, i greatly appreciate your insights and sharing your thoughts with us this evening. if seeing is believing then you must witness the work of palestinian journalists. we will tell you about that after a quick break. after a quick break. but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia.

that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia. i'm a bird stuck in larry bird's attic. and i'm goin' cuckoo. what the heck. what you got larry? may the best bird win. brick. you may be a legend on the court but you're an amateur up here. heads up lar. so get allstate... save money and be protected from mayhem... ...like me. now you're the bird stuck in the attic.

out of control, media attention has been diverted from the war in gaza but immense suffering continues. despite an israeli blockade on foreign journalists entering gaza, palestinian journalists have been there the entire time bearing witness and capturing proof of the atrocities that sometimes can only be believed by seeing. the office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs recently asked them to share images that they want the world to remember along with a personal caption. a warning that the following photos are graphic but we want to show the reality of the war uncensored. this photo was taken on october 9 writing in part quote, i followed the sound of a pained cry, a howl that i will not forget. i found his father with his dead child. he seemed to be in a hallucinatory state repeating, we were buying vegetables. the next image is dated december 20. her caption reads quote, i could not hold myself

up when i saw her gasping for breath and a piece of candy still stuck in her hand, stained with blood. >> this photo was taken on november 7 writing quote, this child was pulled out of the rubble losing all of his family. he kept asking about his bicycle saying that it belonged to someone else. the innocence and the sorrow thinking about the bicycle without fully comprehending what he has been through hit me. he captured his friend november 5 at the al-aqsa hospital sang four of his children were killed, his wife was severely injured. i knew his children. all i could do was be there crying. >> this photo was taken on january 25. when i take the picture of the children eating food on the street i kept thinking they once lived a beautiful life in their home's. the next picture, a horrific image was taken november 4. he

writes quote, the little girl was killed along with three of her brothers by an israeli airstrike in the market. her mother, she lived what was hopeful for hours they would be pulled out alive by paramedics from the rubble where her home once stood. this was also taken a few days later saying quote this little girl was pulled from under the rubble. her cancer afflicted mother by her side. both were pulled out alive but i can't can't tell you what they are still alive today. >> this is the 12-year-old brushing his teeth on february 10. he is a child like any other child. a child who wants to play, a child with an amputated hand who wants to play. this final image was taken on october 29. i saw this bird flying free against the bombardment of a residential neighborhood. that day was full of

bombardments and heavy airstrikes hitting everywhere in gaza. people were rushed to take the dead and injured out of the house amidst fire and smoke. the bird kept flying. thank you for making time for us this evening and we can. catch ayman every saturday and sunday. follow us on x and instagram. until we meet again, i am ayman mohyeldin in new york . din in sure, i can hold. ♪ liberty liberty liberty liberty ♪ in theaters now.
