As war continues to unfold in Israel – with Israel’s military scouring the country’s south for Hamas fighters, the United States is sending the Ford carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean. With more than one thousand believed dead on both sides, the United States is promising to be ready to assist Israel after the attack by Hamas. According to government sources, there are as many as four Americans confirmed dead, but when it comes to those being held hostage by Hamas, there have been no confirmed numbers. NewsNation National Security Contributor Lt. Gen. Richard Newton (ret) joins the show to speak about what’s happening now, how the conflict affects the United States’ relationships in the region – and what this conflict means for Americans here at home.
