>>> WE BEGIN >>> WE BEGIN WITH THE BREAKING NEWS FROM OVERNIGHT. ISRAELI FORCES HAVE RECOVERED THE BODIES OF SIX HOSTAGES FROM GAZA, INCLUDING ISRAELI- AMERICAN, LATE LAST NIGHT PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID QUOTE, IT IS A TRAGIC-- IT IS AS TRAGIC AS IT IS REPREHENSIBLE, MAKE NO MISTAKE, HAMAS LEADERS WILL PAY FOR THESE CRIMES AND WE WILL KEEP WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK FOR A DEAL TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF THE REMAINING HOSTAGES. MSNBC FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, MATT BRADLEY JOINS US NOW, FROM TEL AVIV IN ISRAEL. >> MATT, GOOD MORNING. WE-- WE ARE LEARNING THIS WAS BREAKING LATE LAST NIGHT, CAN YOU BRING OUR AUDIENCE UP TO SPEED ON WHAT WE KNOW? >> YEAH, WELL, WE HEARD ABOUT THIS LATE LAST NIGHT, TODAY WAS KIND OF A DAY HERE IN TEL AVIV WE ARE EXPECTING TO SEE PROTESTERS, THOUSANDS OF THEM, DESCENDING TO THE STREETS IN TEL AVIV, AS WHAT IS KNOWN AS HOSTAGE SQUARE NOW, THEY HAVE CHRISTENED THIS SQUARE IN TEL AVIV, BECAUSE OF THE REPEATED PROTESTS ALL THE TIME, DEMANDING, NOT JUST A HOSTAGE DEAL, BUT THE RESIGNATION OF PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, A REALLY LOUD AND CLEAR SIGNAL WE HAVE BEEN SEEING, AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS SITUATION, THE POLITICAL CIRCUMSTANCE HERE, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ADVOCATING FOR THE HOSTAGE RELEASE OR ADVOCATING FOR PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU TO STEP DOWN, THAT IS KIND OF THE SAME CROWD, IT OVERLAYS VERY NEATLY OVER THE CULTURE WARS, HERE IN ISRAEL. IT'S A LOT OF THE SAME CROWD THAT WE SAW PROTESTING UP AGAINST BENJAMIN NETANYAHU'S JUDICIAL REFORMS, EVEN BEFORE OCTOBER 7th LAST YEAR, WHEN THERE WERE ROLLING PROTESTS. I WAS HERE JUST A YEAR AGO FOR THIS. AND SO, WE ARE REALLY SEEING HUGE EMOTION HERE, NOT JUST FOR THE RELEASE OF THESE HOSTAGES, BUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, AND THAT IS WHY WHAT WE ARE JUST NOW, FROM THE HOSTAGE FORUM, THE FAMILY'S FOR THEM, THIS IS THE GROUP THAT TYPICALLY REPRESENTS THESE FAMILIES, THEY WANT TO SEE-- THEY WANT TO SEE THIS EXPRESSION OF ANGER TODAY THAT REALLY IS UNPRECEDENTED NOW. IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO TOP WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN DOING, NOT JUST OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, BUT EVEN LAST SUMMER. SO, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THEY SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF, THEY WANT TO MAKE THE NATION SHUTTER, THEY WANT TO SHUT IT DOWN. SO, WE ARE EXPECTING HUGE PROTEST TONIGHT. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED, AND I DON'T WANT TO GO OVER THE TOP HERE, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF IT GETS VIOLENT, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN GETTING VIOLENT IN THE PAST, BUT THIS IS A VERY SAD DAY FOR ISRAEL. THEY DISCOVERED THE SIX BODIES IN A TUNNEL COMMAND ACCORDING TO THE IDEA, THEY HAVE BEEN KILLED JUST MOMENTS BEFORE THEY WERE DISCOVERED AS THIS-- THE MILITARY WAS BEARING DOWN ON THEM INSIDE THIS TUNNEL IN THE SOUTHERN GAZA STRIP AND THE CITY OF RAPHAEL. BUT AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THIS, AT THE SAME TIME, THERE IS SOME POSITIVE NEWS. H4X THERE IS GOING TO BE POSITIVE THE FIGHTING. STARTING TODAY, FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS EVERY DAY, FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AS HEALTH WORKERS FAN OUT ACROSS THE GAZA STRIP IN ISOLATED SECTIONS OF GAZA TO TRY TO INOCULATE MORE THAN HALF 1 MILLION CHILDREN FOR POLIO. AND THIS COMES JUST ABOUT A WEEK AFTER WE SAW THE FIRST INFANT IN THE GAZA STRIP INFLICTED WITH PARALYSIS ON ONE OF HIS LEGS. HE HAS POLIO. THIS IS THE FIRST CASE OF POLIO IN THE GAZA STRIP AND 25 YEARS. THERE'S ABOUT A 1.2 MILLION DOSES OF THIS VACCINE AGAINST POLIO, WHICH, BY THE WAY, IS A VERY TERRIFYING DISEASE, BECAUSE IT IS TOTALLY, TOTALLY PREVENTABLE, BUT IT IS UNCLEAR ABOUT ONCE IT HAS BEEN CONTRACTED. SO, THAT IS WHY IT IS SUCH A CONCERN FOR GLOBAL HEALTH ADVOCATES, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS A DISEASE THAT WAS GOING THE WAY OF SMALLPOX BEFORE WE SAW IT, HERE IN THE GAZA STRIP AND REALLY, AND I SPOKE WITH ONE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIVE YESTERDAY. HE WAS SAYING IT IS REALLY ONLY FOUND IN AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN. SO, THAT IS WHY THE SITING OF IT IN THE GAZA STRIP IS SO TROUBLING, AND WHY AFTER FAMINE, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS, MOSTLY AMONG CIVILIANS ACCORDING TO GAZA HEALTH AUTHORITIES, THAT HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO SILENCE THE GUNS, BUT POLIO AND THE THREAT
