some u.s. officials are concerned certainly that if israel does retaliate as much as the defense may have been and that may drag america into a confrontation to iran and expose it to troops across the region and the proxies. based on your reporting what is it that americans are concern about with israel's response? >> reporter: i think there is a lack of trust at this point on the part of american officials. they feel like all of this work to get a hostage deal, they committed so many resources, made so many trips to the region. it just keeps falling apart. that is the fault of both sides, hamas, israel. but, there is a growing frustration. so, i think that they, from my colleagues, they are great reporting in that story that you showed today. they, the u.s. officials there is a wild card that we are not sure that benjamin netanyahu does not wide a wider war. even though it would be catastrophe for israel. and, you know, when you look at the israeli political spectrum you have a lot of same peo

the u.s. has not called for that, though you did hear jose andres say as much. right now the u.s. is waiting for better understanding of exactly what israel's investigation will look like, with the president saying it must be transparent, that the results must be public and that it must be very thorough. those are some of the biggest takeaways ahead of the call. it is obviously a very tense moment in this relationship, i moment in a relationship that has already been very tense for the course of the last several months, and, jose, we're waiting for any better information for when it takes place. the vice president will be joining this conversation remotely as well as likely some of the national security advisers to the president as well. >> i understand you just returned from israel. what would you like to see come out of this call? >> i'm really glad they're having a call. i think it is important for friends and allies to be able to communicate. this is a horrific tragedy. my heart goes out to the families of the workers who lost their lives and, jose andres is a hero. this is wh

i think that's what a lot of u.s. military advisers who have been there have come back and said is that, you know, the israelis toleration of civilian casualties is frankly far greater than what the u.s. would tolerate. when you have local commanders on the scene, allow it to take strikes based on a visual recognition of something. this is what you're going to get. the questions i have is were there a second set of eyes, any kind of red cell, you know, in these operations rooms, which authorize the strikes, and i think the answer is going to be no. and that's really a problem. this is not the way the u.s. conducts business. for example, i have some familiarity with this. accidents do happen. terrible tragedies happen. remember in kabul, after, you know, the terrible suicide bombing that killed 13 of our servicemen and women, we conducted a drone strike. it was a bad strike. it killed civilians. that's no excuse. the israelis owe the world an explanation, but ultimately this is something that comes down to rules of eng
