NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISERS, TODAY, AND TWO U.S. OFFICIALS TELLING US THAT SULLIVAN TOLD THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT THAT THEY WANT AN END TO THE LARGE- SCALE GROUND CAMPAIGN AND TRANSITION TO OUR TARGETED PHASE OF THE WAR BUT DID NOT SPECIFY A TIMETABLE. ISRAELI MILITARY OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEY ANTICIPATE A LONG MILITARY CAMPAIGN BUT RECOGNIZE THAT THEY ARE UNDER PRESSURE. THEY FOLLOWED THE VICTIMS TO A HOSPITAL WHERE PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO GO. A MONTH AGO, THIS FAMILY SAT DOWN FOR DINNER. KIDNAPPED, FROM A MUSIC FESTIVAL AND DRAGGED INTO GAZA. TONIGHT, IN TEL AVIV. THEY CAN'T BRING THEMSELVES TO BE AROUND TOO MANY PEOPLE. ONE OF DOZENS OF YOUNG MEN AND THEY SAY THAT HAMAS HAS BEEN BEATING AND TORTURING THEM. >> WE HOPE AND BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL COME HOME. >> A NEW ASSESSMENT SAYS THAT 40 TO 45% OF THE 29,000 MUNITIONS WERE UNGUIDED, WHICH ARE FAR LESS ACCURATE. >>> TAKING A LOOK AT ISRAELI HOSPITALS THAT HAVE BEEN TREATING WOUNDED SOLDIERS SINCE THE WAR BROKE OUT. >>> INSIDE THE HOSPITAL IN TEL AVIV, AN ENTIRE FLOOR IS DEDICATED TO THE REHAB OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS. >> IS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. >> ACCESS, GRANTED BY THE ISRAELI MILITARY INCLUDES THIS SOLDIER AFTER THE INITIAL ATTACK.

THE HEALTH MINISTER REPORTED THAT 70% OF THE VICTIMS IN GAZA ARE WOMEN AND CHILDREN WITH THE DEATH TOLL RISING EVERY DAY. FOR MORE, A FELLOW AT THE ARAB CENTER IN WASHINGTON D.C. DR., THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. WE SEE THESE PICTURES, WE TALK ABOUT THIS WAR, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GAZA, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE HAS SURVIVED AND YET SOME CHILDREN HAVE TO. WHAT ARE THE STORIES YOU ARE HEARING AND HOW ARE YOU HELPING? >> THE STORIES ARE HORRIFIC. WE KNOW THAT THERE'S 1000 CHILDREN DIED, HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS MORE TRAPPED UNDER RUBBLE. WITH HER 25,000, IN SOME OF THESE CASES, THEY LOST THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY. EVERY CHILD IS OUT OF SCHOOL, THERE IS NO STABILITY. THE BEST CASE SCENARIO IS THAT THEY ARE IN ONE OF THESE CROWDED, UNDERSERVED SHELTERS. >> SO WHO'S RUNNING THE SHELTERS? >> THE U.N. AGENCY FOR PALESTINIAN REFUGEES. THEY'RE SAYING THAT IN THESE CONDITIONS, THEY ARE HARDLY ABLE TO EVEN GET A BASIC TRIAGE TO PROVIDE FOOD OR WATER. >> WHAT IS THE THERAPY FOR THOSE CHILDREN THAT HAVE LOST TWO PARENTS? IS IT JUST PEER SURVIVAL? >> AT THIS POINT, IT'S PEER SURVIVAL. WE ARE SEEING SOME EFFORTS. TO OFFER PUPPET SHOWS AND PAINTING CLASSES, WITH SUCH UNCERTAINTY. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT. >> WHAT TYPE OF TRAINING CAN PREPARE YOU FOR THIS? HOW DO YOU APPROACH A CHILD WHEN THEY ASK, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PARENTS? >> THEY'RE SIMPLY NOT TELLING THEM, YET. WHERE SEEING HUMANITARIAN WORKERS BREAKING DOWN WHAT THEY'VE SEEN AND THEY'VE ALSO BEEN DEALING WITH THESE THINGS, WORRYING ABOUT THEIR OWN CHILDREN. THEY ARE REALLY IN SURVIVAL MODE. >> WHAT'S THE ONE THING THOSE CHILDREN NEED MOST RIGHT NOW? >> A CEASE-FIRE AND AN END TO THE VIOLENCE. AGENCIES HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN PROVIDE THE MOST BASIC ASSISTANCE AND CANNOT NAVIGATE THE ROAD, THAT PEOPLE ARE TOO SCARED TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES. >> THIS IS A COMPLICATED QUESTION, I KNOW, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT A POLITICIAN AND YOU DON'T WORK FOR THE MILITARY. IS THERE A GRASSROOTS EFFORT OR SOME CONVERSATION THAT'S HAPPENING? WHOEVER, HAMAS, ANOTHER MILITANT GROUP, ANOTHER TERRORIST GROUP, HAS THERE BEEN ANY TALK FROM PALESTINIANS TODAY ? CAN WE LET PEOPLE GO, CAN WE TRY TO GET TO A CEASE-FIRE AND STOP THE BOMBING? DOES THAT HAPPEN OR IS THAT IMPOSSIBLE? >> AGAIN, I THINK THAT THEY ARE IN SURVIVAL MODE. THE ALMOST 10,000 THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS. THEY ARE CALLING ON US TO HELP THEM. THEY FEEL POWERLESS AND I THINK THAT THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE BOMBING AND TRY TO GET BACK SOME OF THE NORMALCY. >> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE STATS YOU ARE SAYING, WHY DO YOU THINK THE WORLD HAS NOT SPOKEN MORE ABOUT THIS? >> I DO SEE A LOT OF THE HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS, BUT I THINK THAT WE ARE KIND OF CAUGHT IN HIS POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS AND WE'VE LOST SIGHT OF THE HUMANITY OF THE PEOPLE LEFT BEHIND. UNFORTUNATELY, IT CAN BECOME NORMALIZED. WE LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON THE GROUND. >> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. >>> TO THE AMERICAS, WITH THE PRESIDENT MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME, FACE-TO-FACE, OPEN RESOLVE TENSIONS OVER A THREAT TO TAKE OVER PART OF GUYANA. >> TWO SOUTH AMERICAN LEADERS MEETING FACE-TO-FACE AFTER WEEKS OF ESCALATION OVER AN OIL- RICH TERRITORY IN SOUTH AMERICA.

TALKS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. >> THE MEETING WAS ATTENDED BY OTHER SOUTH AMERICAN LEADERS. >> WHAT IS YOUR OVERALL EXPECTATION? >> I DON'T EITHER SIDE IS GOING TO DO THAT UNILATERALLY. THEY CALLED THESE MOVES RECKLESS. >> TO OCCUPY ANY OF THAT SPACE, IT'S ILLEGAL AND ILLEGITIMATE. >> ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP EVEN AN INCH OF LAND? >> IT BELONGS TO GUYANA. >> THE EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERNATIONAL COORDINATES. >> THIS COMES WEEKS AFTER THREAT. >> THEY DO THIS FOR DOMESTIC REASONS. THE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION IN VENEZUELA, ORGANIZING AND BEING UNIFIED, GIVING THEM A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY. >> UNITED STATES MILITARY, CONDUCTING THESE AMID RISING TENSIONS. >> OUR DIPLOMATS ARE ENGAGED AT THIS TIME. >> A DIPLOMATIC CHALLENGE WITH BOTH COUNTRIES STANDING THEIR GROUND. >> LIVE, FROM MIAMI. BOTH PARTIES INTEND TO FIND A PEACEFUL SOLUTION AND MADE IT CLEAR THAT GUYANA WAS NOT THE AGGRESSOR. WAS THERE ANY AGREEMENT TO WHO CAN CLAIM THIS? >> THEY CONSIDER THIS PART OF ITS TERRITORY AND SAY THAT THEY WANT TO ANNEX NOT. TODAY, THE PRESIDENT SAID THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT AND CONCESSIONS TO EXTRACT NATURAL RESOURCES AND WE KNOW THAT IT'S VERY RICH IN OIL AND WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY HAVEN'T TAKEN ANY ACTION INSIDE OF THAT TERRITORY TO TAKE OVER. >> HEADING OVER TO RUSSIA.

PUTIN, SAID IT'S NOT EASY. WRONGFULLY ACCUSED OF ESPIONAGE. >> LET'S HEAD TO THE U.S. SOUTHERN BORDER AND THE MIGRANT CRISIS, CROSSING THE BORDER ILLEGALLY. IN ARIZONA, NOW CLOSE AND RESIDENTS, SEEING THE EFFECTS. >> THIS IS THE NEW EPICENTER, WHERE THE NUMBER OF MIGRANTS IS PUSHING BORDER PATROL PAST CAPACITY WITH 9000 ILLEGAL CROSSINGS JUST YESTERDAY AND 3000 IN THIS AREA. >> IS A GROUP OF 40 MIGRANTS, INCLUDING YOUNG CHILDREN JUST BROUGHT IN BY BORDER PATROL AFTER THEY CALLED 911 BECAUSE THEY WERE STRANDED IN THE DESERT. THEY ARE SO BACKED UP THAT THEY ARE TAKING MIGRANTS TO TUCSON, ARIZONA. IN INTERNATIONAL CROSSING NOW CLOSE FOR 11 DAYS. BUSINESS OWNERS SAY THEY ARE OVERWHELMED. WE FIND PLACES WHERE SMUGGLERS GOT THESE CALLS, CUTTING THROUGH 16. >> YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS ONE WAS JUST FIXED RECENTLY. >> OFFICIALS TELL US THAT THE BORDER PATROL EQUIVALENT IS RUNNING LOW ON FUNDS, BUT REPUBLICANS BLAME AT BIDEN'S BORDER POLICIES AND ARE DEMANDING FOR MORE FUNDING FOR UKRAINE. >> WHAT WE NEED TO SEE IS BORDER SECURITY. PRESIDENT BIDEN CALLED THESE PROPOSALS EXTREME AND MIGRANTS TELL US THAT THEY ARE DESPERATE. WE ARE TIRED. I HAD TO CARRY MY DAUGHTER SO WE COULD K THE IMPACT IS INCRED ON RESIDENCE THERE AS THEY TRY TO DO ALL THAT THEY CAN TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN. >> THE ONGOING CRUSH AT THE BORDER ALL OVER THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES. NOW, TURNING TO THE WEATHER WITH THE SYSTEM EXPECTED TO BRING IN HEAVY RAIN. LET'S GET RIGHT OVER TO BILL KAREN'S. WHAT ARE WE WATCHING? >> IT'S NOT THE TORNADO OUTBREAK OF LAST WEEKEND BUT THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND IT'S NOT WHAT ANYONE WANTS. THE STORM SYSTEM IN KANSAS, OKLAHOMA, COMBINED WITH HIS BRIGHT MOISTURE. YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THIS IN KEY WEST TO KEY LARGO. THIS ALL CHANGES THROUGHOUT FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY. YOU CAN GO FROM KEY WEST TO JACKSONVILLE WITH GUSTY WIND AND I DON'T THINK WERE GOING TO GET A LOT OF SEVERE WEATHER. FOR DRAINAGE, SURE, BUT NOT TOO MANY TORNADOES OR WIND DAMAGE BUT BY THE TIME WE GET TO SUNDAY, IT'S OVER. MIAMI, SOUTHWARDS, UP TO THREE INCHES AND THEN HERE'S THE PLAN. CHARLESTON, WILMINGTON, MYRTLE BEACH SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING. HEADING INTO NEW YORK WITH FOOTBALL GAMES IN CHARLOTTE, BALTIMORE, SUNDAY EVENING AND AT 6:00, FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO MAINE AND YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.. A NEW PODCAST FROM "DATELINE". >>> BACK WITH THE NEWSFEED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, POLICE IN TUCSON SAY A WOMAN SAID SHE WAS FOLLOWED BY DARK- COLORED CAR WHEN SOMEONE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND GRABBED HER. SHE SCREAMED AND HE RAN AWAY. ANOTHER WOMAN SAID SHE WAS GRABBED BY THE CAMPUS OF UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA. HE BECAME CAUGHT, PULLED 500 FEET DOWN BEFORE COMING TO ARREST WITH A BROKEN LEG. RESCUERS AIRLIFTED HIM TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. >>> COCA-COLA RECALLED ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR PRODUCTS OVER CONCERNS THEY COULD CONTAIN FOREIGN MATERIALS. NO WORD ON WHAT THAT MATERIAL IS AND THE RECALL HAS A BEST BY DATE HAS A DATE OF JANUARY 29th. >>> LARRY DAVID WRITING THAT THE SHOW'S FINAL SEASON IS FEBRUARY 4th. THEY HAVE EARNED A STAGGERING 51 EMMY NOMINATIONS. A GRITTY PICTURE FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN IN SEVERAL BATTLEGROUND STATES. HE IS NOT TRAILING FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND IN ONE CASE, ALMOST BY DOUBLE DIGITS. WERE PRESIDENT BIDEN SCORED A NARROW VICTORY OVER TRUMP IN 2020, LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THE ELECTION. THE SCRIPT IS NOW FLIPPED AND IN NORTH CAROLINA, TRUMP EXTENDED HIS LEAD FROM JUST OVER 1.2 NEARLY 10. LET'S BRING IN OUR PANEL, TONIGHT. THE CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER AT THE AMERICA FIRST POLICY INSTITUTE AND COMMUNICATIONS ON THE TRUMP 2020 CAMPAIGN. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. WE ARE LESS THAN A YEAR OUT AND THESE NUMBERS KEEP GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. ESPECIALLY IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. HOW CONCERNED SHOULD DEMOCRATS BE RIGHT NOW? >> UNDOUBTEDLY, DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE CONCERNED BUT WHAT IS KEY IS A COUPLE COMPONENTS. WE ARE NOT YET AT A BINARY CHOICE IN THE SELECTION SO TO ME, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DEMOCRATS TO TAKE TRUMP SERIOUSLY, OBVIOUSLY, BUT TURN THIS INTO NOT JUST A CAMPAIGN AGAINST JOE BIDEN BUT INTO A REFERENDUM ON DONALD TRUMP. IT LOOKS LIKE HE WILL GET THERE AS HE LEADS BY A SUBSTANTIAL MARGIN, BUT ONCE DEMOCRATS ARE FOCUSED AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, YOU CAN COUNT ON THEM TO MAKE THAT CASE AGAINST TRUMP AND FOCUS NOT JUST ON THE PRESIDENT, BUT THE ISSUES. JOE BIDEN IS ALIGNED ON ISSUES LIKE ABORTION, THEN THE, TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE, STUDENT LOANS, AND OTHER ISSUES. DONALD TRUMP IS DEEPLY OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BUT WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF COURT CASES COMING UP WITH TRUMP AND I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HIM. MEG IS A DIFFERENT STORY WHEN IT COMES TO THE ECONOMY. HOW MUCH OF THIS IS BIDEN DOING BETTER AND HOW MUCH OF IT IS HIM DOING WORSE? >> BOTH, THIS WAS THE FIRST CAMPAIGN IN OVER 100 YEARS WHERE ONE OF THE CANDIDATES IS NOT HYPOTHETICAL. BOTH OF THEM, ONE IS THE PRESIDENT, ONE IS THE FORMER PRESIDENT, AND PEOPLE REMEMBER THAT THEY WERE BETTER OFF, THE WORLD WAS SAFER, THE BORDER WAS SECURE WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT AND THEY CAN COMPARE THAT TO THE MESS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS FAVORED, AND ALL OF THOSE ISSUES, PEOPLE CHOOSE DONALD TRUMP OVER JOE BIDEN. >> LOOKING AT GEORGIA, HE REMEMBERED, YOU MENTIONED THOSE CASES AGAINST A FORMER PRESIDENT. THIS IS A STATE HE LOST. DOING BETTER IN GEORGIA. FACTS MATTER. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE AN EMPLOYMENT AT THE .7%, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THESE ECONOMIC ISSUES, IN TERMS OF GEORGIA, RUNNING THROUGH THE SENATE RACES, DOMINATING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, OBVIOUSLY. GOING BACK TO THIS POINT OF MAKING THIS A BINARY CHOICE ELECTION, IT'S A NOMINATING PROCESS ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. WE ARE MONTHS AWAY FROM THAT PROCESS. ONCE DONALD TRUMP IS THE OFFICIAL NOMINEE, IT'S A CLEAR AND COHERENT CONTRAST. THESE ARE ISSUES THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOWS US, 72% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT ABORTION RIGHTS. 61% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT COMPREHENSIVE LAWS THAT BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS, SO JOE BIDEN MAY NOT IN THE MOST STRONG POSITION BUT ONCE WE GET TO THAT CONTRAST, IF BIDEN IS FOCUSED ON THOSE ISSUES, THAT IS WHERE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE AND I THINK IT WILL CLOSE THE GAP. >> WHEN WE TALK ABOUT, IT WAS WORSE UNDER FORMER PRESIDENT, WE ARE SEEING RECORD NUMBERS AT THE BORDER AND WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE NOT HAD BORDER ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE LAST 15 OR 20 YEARS, BUT THINGS WERE NOT PERFECT, FAR FROM THAT. THESE WERE PERFECT DURING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE THAT WE AS A NATION HAVE BEEN GRAPPLING WITH FOR YEARS. THE REPUBLICANS REFUSED. THEY ARE SKIPPING ALL THE DEBATES. >> KEEP THE PRESSURE ON. I HOPE THAT THEY FOLLOW MY COUNTERPARTS ADVICE BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE. YOU WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN AFFORD THOSE BASICS BUT MANY CAN'T AND THEY KNOW IT. IF THEY GO OUT THERE WITH GUN CONTROL AND AMNESTY, THEY WILL LOSE. >> WE ARE OUT OF TIME. >> I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY REASON TO. THIS IS ALL BUT DONE EXCEPT FOR COUNTING ACTUAL VOTES. >> I LOVE THIS CONVERSATION. >>> NEXT, STRANDED AT SEA, RACING TO GET PEOPLE TO SAFETY AFTER THEIR BOWS -- BOATS SANK OFF THE COAST . >>> NOW, WITH GLOBAL WATCH AND DRAMATIC RESCUE OFF THE COAST OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD AIRLIFTING SIX PEOPLE STRANDED IN THE OCEAN AFTER THEIR BOAT SANK WITH THE COAST GUARD RECEIVED A CALL FOR HELP AFTER A CRUISE SHIP AND SIX OTHER PASSENGERS WERE FROM A LIFE RAFT. ALL ARE EXPECTED TO BE OKAY. >>> THE W.H.O. IS URGING VACCINATIONS IN EUROPE WITH 30,000 CASES OF MEASLES REPORTED IN 2023. THEY SENT A 30 TIMES HIGHER THAN 2022 AND MEASLES IS HIGHLY INFECTIOUS AND CAN LEAD TO COMPLICATIONS LIKE PNEUMONIA AND BRAIN DAMAGES UNDERGOING MEDICAL EVALUATION WITH NO WORD ON HIS MOTHER OR GRANDFATHER. >>> TO THE WEST BANK AND BETHLEHEM, SILENT NIGHT. THE CITY BELIEVED TO BE WHERE JESUS WAS BORN, DESOLATE DURING THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON. OFFICIALS HAVE CANCELED ALL HOLIDAY FESTIVALS IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE IN GAZA. HALLIE JACKSON HAS THE STORY. >> THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY STILL RINGS BUT THE COURTYARD HERE IS EMPTY. IT'S THE OLDEST CONTINUALLY USED PLACE OF WORSHIP. THE PROGRAMS WHO USUALLY FLOCKED TO THE CITY ARE NOW NOWHERE TO BE SEEN. >> THE WORST CHRISTMAS EVER. NO CHRISTMAS TREES, NO CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD USED TO COME HERE. IT'S NOW A GHOST TOWN. >> THIS IS MY GREAT- GRANDFATHER. >> THEY SIT HERE AND BETHLEHEM, THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS THE BUSY SEASON. >> WE'VE BEEN BOOKED AND ARE NOW 120% CAPACITY. THERE IS NO ROOM. >> THE ESTIMATE HUNDRED AND 20,000 PEOPLE VISITED DURING CHRISTMAS LAST YEAR. >> THEY HOPED THAT THEY COULD SEE MORE PEOPLE THIS YEAR. >> NOW ALL WE GET IS CANCELLATIONS SO IT IS A CATASTROPHE. >> THEY SAY THAT NEARLY 70 HOTELS ARE CLOSE, LEAVING 6000 OUT OF A JOB THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. >> THIS IS WHAT REPRESENTS BETHLEHEM. >> RICHARD CHAVEZ SAYS HIS FAMILY HAS RUN THE SHOP SINCE 1942. HE SAID THESE CUSTOMERS ARE NOW GONE. >> IT WAS JUST THE DAY BEFORE. >> WHAT ABOUT YOUR STAFF? THE PEOPLE WHO CARVE THESE OBJECTS, THE PEOPLE WHO SELL THEM. >> BETHLEHEM RELIES ON TOURISM. WE HAVE ABOUT 30 EMPLOYEES, WE HAVE THESE MERCHANTS, PEOPLE WHO DO BEAUTIFUL CARVINGS IN BETHLEHEM. >> SOME RESTAURANTS HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THEIR OPERATIONS. CATERING TO LOCAL FAMILIES AND SAID TORRES BUT IN A CITY WHERE PEOPLE FROM MANY DENOMINATIONS HAVE PRAYED SIDE BY SIDE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS? >> IT'S FOR PEACE, YOU KNOW? IT'S WHERE PEACE WOULD BORN -- WAS BORN, SO IT SHOULD BE THE MESSENGER ALL OVER THE WORLD. >> PRAYING FOR AN AND TO THE WAR AND THEN SILENT NIGHT. >>> NOW, FROM ISRAEL. THERE BEEN SOME KEY SECURITY CONCERNS IN ISRAEL AND ACROSS THE WORLD. WHAT'S YOUR SENSE OF BEING THERE? OUR PEOPLE TO FIND -- ABLE TO FIND ANY SENSE OF HAPPINESS OR IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE RIGHT NOW? >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I WAS SAYING THAT IT'S FORTUNATE THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIND A MIRACLE AM TALKING ABOUT THOSE HOSTAGE FAMILY MEMBERS WHOSE LOVED ONES HAVE BEEN RETURNED AND I'M THINKING ABOUT ONE MAN WAS WITH WHOSE WIFE AND KID HAD BEEN TAKEN CAPTIVE AND WERE RELEASED AND HE TOLD ME HE FEELS LIKE IT IS A MIRACLE, WATCHING THEM BRUSH THEIR TEETH AND LIVE THEIR LIFE. MANY, AND CERTAINLY IN GAZA, IT'S HARD TO FIND A MOMENT TO BE HOPEFUL, IT'S HARD TO FIND A WAY TO CLING TO THAT BUT I WILL SAY THAT HOPE IS ALL THEY HAVE AND IF THEY DON'T HAVE THAT, IT'S REALLY TOUGH. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >>> THE MIRACLE MAN, IAN SNYDER, FOLLOWING 1000 FEET WHILE HUNTING IN HAWAII.OUGH. >>> NEWS FOR THE GENERATION OF NOW. NBC NEWS NOW. >>> AN INCREDIBLE RESCUE AFTER A HIKER FELL 1000 FEET, SURVIVING AT THE BASE OF A WATERFALL FOR THREE DAYS, WITH SEVERAL BROKEN BONES AND STRUGGLING TO STAY ALIVE.

FOR THREE DAYS, HE SURVIVED WITH ONLY STREAM WATER. >> I HAD TO REACH ACROSS TO GRAB WATER. >> HE SAID THAT HIS LIFE WAS IN GOD'S HANDS. >> THIS IS MY TIME, BUT IF IT'S NOT, I KNEW I WOULD BE ABLE TO WAVE AT A HELICOPTER, I WILL BE OKAY. >> THE HELICOPTER DID COME AS DID THE RESCUE EFFORT INVOLVING FIRST RESPONDERS WHO SAVED MANY FROM THAT DANGEROUS CLIFF. >>> BASED ON WHAT WE SAW, TO BE 1000 FEET FROM THE TRAIL AND SURVIVE AS A MIRACLE. WE ARE FASCINATED. >> MEMBERED FOR THAT DATE, NOT EVERYDAY OUR DEPARTMENT SEES A SITUATION LIKE THIS COME FALLING 1000 FEET FROM A TRAIL IS NO JOKE. >> Reporter: HIKERS WHO HELPED WITH THE SEARCH WANTED TO MEET THE MAN THEY WERE TRACKING ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA. >> I THOUGHT THE BEST WE COULD GIVE THE FAMILY IS WE COULD FIND A BODY, WE FOUND A LIVING HUMAN BREATHING AND SMILING.
