we've asked the idf about that. they haven't come back to us. but if true, this would really raise new questions about the care that israel's military says that it's taking to make sure that aid workers, that other civilians in gaza are safe. the u.n. says monday's killing, not an isolated incident. around 200 humanitarians have been killed in gaza since the start of the war. the vast majority of them palestinians, their deaths not getting the same kind of attention as these world central kitchen workers. we are hearing today from the founder of that organization, chef jose andres. he just appeared on television in israel growing very emotional talking about the deaths of his colleagues, and he touched on a lot of the same points that he mentioned in an op-ed in the "new york times" this morning. i want to read you, chris, just a little bit of what he says. he begins, israelis in their hearts know that food is not a weapon of war. israel is better than the way this war is being waged. it is better than blocking food and medicine to civilians. it

and according to the idf on securing that role that dissects north and south gaza. but according to satellite pictures has widened quite considerably. so it will focus the brigade attention on the north. this road that is essentially cutting gaza in half will go inside israel and vary all the way to the coast. what that means is at least right now, there will be no ground defensive on rafah. there aren't the troops to do that. it also means that even though the israeli military and the military government say that it is still on the cards, but it is something that they will take some time to put into motion. this is all happening as you mentioned the backdrops on the talks in cairo where we have hamas representatives. so hopefully that could increase the chance for some sort of agreement. this is coming up as you mentioned a few days after biden and benjamin netanyahu had what was by all accounts a very tense conversation and where it appears as though for the first time since october 7, that the american president has in some ways conditioned them in assistance to

so far iran has fired more than 200 different kinds of missiles and drones according to the idf. nbc has confirmed reporting that the u.s. military has shot down some of those drones. i want to bring in senior editor at bloomberg opinion to talk more about this along with the harvard belford associate and carnegie fellow as well. i'm going to have you start things off for us, and give me your reaction to what we're seeing out of iran right now. >> it seems like iran is quite enthusiastic about the propensity to demonstrate capabilities that the long touted. throughout iranian state media and telegram and public commentators, there is this sense of confidence that came from the ability to not only strike and penetrate missile defense systems within israel, but also the range of it and the extent of this attack on israel. there's that sense that of confidence, but behind the scenes i think that there's a lot more circumspect opinions coming out of iran, the decision-making sectors where potentially this would open up prospects of an attack from israel. >> i've been hearing from fol

what this all tells me is that the idf is utterly sloppy, lacks values and discipline and clearly has significant disfunction to the point where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing in moments of emergencies or where somebody who has a trigger doesn't know what's going on. when you've got something like what happened in damascus, that was clearly very planned, very targeted. they had an opportunity that presented itself and a reason for which they went after that iranian top commander. you've seen this in the gaza war already. part of it is the -- as you mentioned, over 200 humanitarian aid workers who have already died, but you also had, for example, the story where three hostages were killed by accident, by a troop on the ground. that, again, it reflects a sloppiness, a lack of discipline, a lack of values, and just dysfunction that shouldn't exist this a professional military under a democratic government. >> we are hearing, geoff, as you know, from leaders all around the world, president biden has said he is outraged and heartbroken by this incident. it is also
