IRAN WARNING: Israel weighs Trump's 'easy or hard way' message

>> THERE IS GOING TO BE A VERY. INTENSE INVESTIGATION. RIGHT NOW NOBODY HONESTLY KNOWS. WAS HE TIED TO A FOREIGN ENTITY. OR DID HE ACT ON HIS OWN? THE THING IS, HE ACTED, IT WAS A. TERRORIST ATTACK, HE TRIED TO. KILL EVERYBODY ON THAT PLANE. >> Bill: THAT INVESTIGATION INTO. THE CO-PILOT WHO TRIED HIJACKING. THIS FLYDUBAI FLIGHT AND. CRASHING IT, THAT CONTINUES INTO.

TODAY. QUESTIONS NOW ON HOW HE WAS EVEN. CLEARED FOR BEING IN THE COCKPIT. IN THE FIRST PLACE. ISRAELI PRESIDENT ISAAC HERZOG. WILL JOIN US IN A FEW MOMENTS. THE STORY WITH THE LATEST FROM. TREY YINGST LIVE IN TEL AVIV. TREY, HELLO. >> GOOD MORNING. THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE. CO-PILOT OF THAT FLYDUBAI FLIGHT. IS RAMPING UP. PROSECUTORS IN THE UAE CONFIRMED. THIS WAS AN ATTEMPTED TERROR. ATTACK AND REPORTS INDICATE THEY. MAY SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY.

THE A.P. NAMED THE SUSPECT. HE REPORTEDLY USED AN AXE IN THE. ATTACK THAT MAY HAVE ALREADY. BEEN IN THE COCKPIT. U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL MIKE. HUCKABEE CALLED THE ACTIONS OF. ISLY PASSENGERS A MIRACLE. QUESTIONS REMAIN ABOUT THE. VETTING PROCESS THAT ALOUDED HIM. TO BE FIRED AND A FLIGHT TO. ISRAEL GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE. ISRAELIS HAD A FLIGHT MANIFEST.

BEFORE THE PLANE TOOK OFF. AUSTRALIAN INVESTIGATORS ARE. LOOKING INTO TIES TO THEIR. COUNTRY WHERE HE ATTENDED. UNIVERSITY. INTELLIGENCE SERVICES WERE AWARE. OF THE SUSPECT AFTER HE VISITED. CERTAIN MOSQUES AND MULTIPLE. EXTREMIST WEBSITES. NO OTHER LINKS HAVE BEEN. EXPOSED. PRESIDENT TRUMP DISCUSSED. POSSIBLE TIES TO IRAN. THE CAPTAIN OF THE FLIGHT WHO. AVOIDED DISASTER HELPING TO SAVE. THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 170. PEOPLE IS BEING HAILED AS A.

HERO. >> I WANT TO HAVE CAPTAIN SMIT. AND PRIME MINISTER MODI, GREAT. FRIENDS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE THEM TO BEAR. A CELEBRATION FLAME. IT IS USUALLY RESERVED FOR. ISRAELI CITIZENS BUT I THINK. HERE IN THIS CASE, ALL THE. CITIZENS OF ISRAEL WILL EMBRACE. YOU. >> THE LATEST INFORMATION THAT. WE HAVE, THIS CO-PILOT MAY HAVE. BEEN TRYING TO TAKE CONTROL OF.

THE AIRLINER AND CRASH IT INTO. TEL AVIV'S BEN GURION AIRPORT TO. CAUSE A MASS CASUALTY EVENT. >> Bill: THANK YOU IN TEL AVIV. MORE TO COME. >> Dana: LET'S BRING IN ISAAC. HERZOG, THE PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL. AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU HERE. I WANT TO START WITH THIS. FLIGHT. I READ IN THE TIMES OF ISRAEL. THIS MORNING THAT ISRAEL WAS. UNAWARE THAT THE STABBER HAD. REPORTEDLY BEEN BARRED FROM. FLYING BY HIS FORMER EMPLOYER.

OMAN AIR OVER CONCERNS ABOUT. RADICALIZATION. WILL WE BE ABLE TO GET MORE. CLARIFICATION AND MORE. INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SOON? >> YES, THIS IS A VERY INTENSE. INVESTIGATION. ALSO IN ISRAEL. PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU. ANNOUNCED THAT OUR NATIONAL. SECURITY ADVISOR AND HIS TEAM. WILL REVIEW THIS AND INVESTIGATE. IT IN DEPTH IN ORDER TO SEE. WHERE THE GAPS WERE AND WHAT. FAULT THERE WAS AND WE COOPERATE.

WITH ALL THE RELEVANT AGENCIES. OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND IRAQIS AS. WELL. SO MORE AND MORE INFORMATION IS. COMING OUT AND IT IS A CLEAR. EXAMPLE OF HOW WE NEED TO. TIGHTEN THE COOPERATION WHEN IT. COMES TO ALL ISSUES ESPECIALLY. AVIATION. LET'S JUST PUT IT IN. PERSPECTIVE. WE'RE SEEING A CLEAR EVIDENCE OF. A TERROR ATTACK. A TERROR ATTACK WHICH COULD HAVE. CHANGED THE WORLD LITERALLY AND. DEFINITELY THE REGION. THAT MEANS, OF COURSE, THAT.

ABOVE THE MIRACLES THAT WERE. THERE, THERE IS ALSO THE NEED TO. REPAIR AND BE BETTER NEXT TIME. >> Dana: MOVING ON TO THE. CONFLICT IN THE REGION WITH. IRAN, PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ASKED. ABOUT HIS DECISION. HE HAS LEFT THE DOOR WIDE OPEN. AND ALL THE OPTIONS ARE ON THE. TABLE. HERE IS WHAT HE SAID ON. SATURDAY. >> President Trump: WE HAVE. DECISIONS TO MAKE ABOUT IRAN. IRAN HAS BEEN DECIMATED.

SO THE ONLY QUESTION IS IT WILL. EITHER BE THE EASY OR HARD WAY. IT WILL HAPPEN THE EASY WAY OR. HARD WAY. >> Dana: HOW DO YOU ASSESS THE. SITUATION IN THE GULF RIGHT NOW? >> PRESIDENT TRUMP SPOKE VERY. OPENLY AND FRANKLY. I THINK HIS ANALYSIS IS EXACTLY. TRUE. MEANING THERE ARE REALLY TWO. CHOICES HERE BUT ONE THING THAT. PRESIDENT TRUMP REPEATS ALL THE. TIME CORRECTLY IS THAT WE ARE. DEALING WITH AN EMPIRE OF EVIL. WHICH WANTS TO REALLY RADICALIZE.

THE WORLD, CONQUER THE FREE. WORLD, GET ALL THE WAY TO EUROPE. AND THE UNITED STATES. THAT'S THIS REGIME'S PHILOSOPHY. AND WHAT THE TERROR ARMY IS. DOING AND WHY THEY MUST NOT HAVE. ANY ACCESS TO NUCLEAR. CAPABILITIES AT ALL. THAT'S THE DEBATE. THAT'S THE ISSUE. YOU KNOW WHAT? THE ENTIRE REGION FEELS THE. SAME, SOMETIMES THEY SAY IT. OUTSPOKEN, SOMETIME NOT. LET'S UNDERSTAND UNDER THE.

SURFACE THERE IS AN EFFORT TO. COOPERATE AND PREVENT THIS. EMPIRE OF PROXIES FROM TILTING. THE BALANCE. LOOK AT YEMEN. A SMALL TRIBE IS BLOCKING A MAIN. ARTERY OF WORLD TRADE. IT COSTS EACH AND EVERY. AMERICAN. THAT'S THE ISSUE AT STAKE. ARE WE GOING TO CAVE IN TO. TERROR, HARASSMENT, BLACKMAIL OR. NOT? THAT'S WHY THE WAR WITH IRAN IS. SO ESSENTIAL. >> Dana: I WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE. SECOND -- NOT ONE, A FEW SECONDS.

TO TALK ABOUT THE THIRD. ANNIVERSARY OF THE OCTOBER 7TH. ATTACKS THAT IS HAPPENING THIS. WEDNESDAY. THERE ARE CEREMONIES HAPPENING. ALL WEEK. HERE YOU ARE LOWERING THE FLAG. OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL TO HALF. MAST AT THE PRESIDENT'S. RESIDENCE IN JERUSALEM. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR COUNTRY. TO KNOW AS YOU MARK THIS THIRD. ANNIVERSARY? >> WELL, I WOULD LIKE THE WORLD. TO KNOW BECAUSE TODAY WE ARE. MARKING WHAT YOU CALL THE HEBREW.

CALENDAR ANNIVERSARY THREE YEARS. TO THAT HORRIFIC MASSACRE AND IN. TWO DAYS' TIME WE MARK THREE. YEARS TO OCTOBER 7TH. WE HAVE A WEEK OF CEREMONIES. HUGE AGONY, PAIN AND SORROW, REMINISCENT AND MEMORY BUT ALSO. A LEARNING LESSON TO ALL OF US. WE MUST FIGHT TERROR TOGETHER. I SPOKE IN A JOINT SESSION OF. CONGRESS IN JULY 2023, THREE. MONTHS BEFORE THAT HORRIFIC DAY.

AND I SAID TO CONGRESS AND I. SAID TO BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE, THE TERROR IS WHAT UNDERMINES. THE FUTURE OF PEACE IN THE. REGION. THAT'S THE TRUTH. WE WANT PEACE. WE WANT PEACE WITH OUR. NEIGHBORS. WE DO NOT SEEK THAT WAR. IT WAS WILL RAGED UPON US BY. BARBARIC ACTIVITIES WHO RAPED, BUTCHERED, ABDUCTED AND KILLED. OUR CITIZENS AND OUR RIGHT OF. SELF-DEFENSE WENT TO FIGHT AND. CHANGED THE ROUTE OF THE MIDDLE. EAST WITH OUR HEROIC FIGHTERS.

ALL THE REST IS BASHING AND. ATTACKING AROUND US ALL OVER THE. PLACE BLAMING ISRAEL FOR ALL THE. FAULT. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT. ISRAEL IS PROTECTING THE WEST. AND THE FREE WORLD BY THIS. ACTIVITY. >> Dana: THANK YOU FOR JOINI.
