0:00
now to the Israel Hamas warrant today
0:02
the justice department announced charges
0:04
against six senior leaders of Hamas
0:07
Federal prosecutors say they
0:08
orchestrated the murders of dozens of
0:10
Americans in the October 7th attack in
0:13
Israel dick Brennan is here now with the
0:15
details dick well Christine and Maurice
0:17
in the indictment us officials say at
0:19
least 43 American citizens were among
0:21
the approximately 1,200 people killed in
0:24
the October 7th Terror attacks but this
0:27
indictment is sweeping covering crimes
0:28
that go back to the 19
0:30
1990s Federal prosecutors say they're
0:32
holding the masterminds of the October
0:34
7th attacks criminally responsible for
0:37
the deaths of dozens Americans and now
0:39
senior Hamas leaders are facing charges
0:42
for financing and directing a decades
0:45
long campaign to murder American
0:47
citizens and endanger the security of
0:50
the United States this comes after word
0:52
this weekend that Hamas executed six
0:54
hostages including Israeli American HS
0:57
Goldberg Poland his mother spoke at his
0:59
funeral for 23 years I was privileged to
1:03
have the most stunning honor to be
1:05
hersh's
1:07
Mama I'll take it and say thank you I
1:11
just wish it had been for longer this
1:13
case was filed in February but it's
1:15
unsealing now after the death of the six
1:17
hostages is likely not a coincidence
1:20
this was a carefully timed complaint
1:24
certainly it came in conjunction with
1:27
the horrible tragedy that took place
1:29
this weekend including the death the
1:32
murder of one American citizen legal
1:35
expert David Schwarz says while some of
1:36
the defendants are dead and others are
1:39
abroad and in hiding there are
1:40
indications that at least one could
1:42
still be taken in as I read this
1:44
complaint and you have to read between
1:46
the lines I believe the southern
1:48
district is fairly confident they are
1:51
going to bring at least one of these
1:53
defendants to Justice in Israel tonight
1:56
thousands took to the streets demanding
1:58
a ceasefire and the family of
2:00
22-year-old Omar Neutra an Israeli
2:02
American and Long Island native still
2:04
being held believes the protest could
2:06
spur renewed action leading to the
2:08
release of their son we're just hoping
2:10
that this outrage that we see in Israel
2:13
is going to affect the government and
2:15
bian himself to uh to reach that so
2:20
desired deal and get the hostages back
2:22
as we know this is ENT legal experts say
2:25
it's not clear if or when a case could
2:27
be brought in New York that would
2:29
require one of the defendants being
2:30
brought back to the US to face trial
2:33
Christina Maurice thank you dick
