alex? >> kristen, before i let you go, the president's plans for today and the holiday with the family are what? >> reporter: well, i don't think we're going to see very much of him, alex. he's having a quiet thanksgiving. he will be celebrating it with the first family, with close friends. they will have a large spread, i am sure. turkey, ham, all the fixings. several desserts, which i'm getting hungry just thinking about. but the president also released his weekly address today. thanking americans, or actually wishing them a happy thanksgiving. talking about the importance of coming together in the wake of the election. also, thanking the troops for their service. and he reminded americans that there are some folks who are suffering in the wake of hurricane sandy. take a listen to a little bit more of what the president had to say. >> it will be a long time before life gets back to normal for them. but in the midst of so much tragedy, there are also glimmers of hope. over the past few wee

hamas doesn't want casualties in gaza stop rockets in stop hiding in using their own civilians but alex you say they are targeting terrorists how do you legitimize that statement when the democratically elected leadership is hamas i mean when that make all public areas hamas affiliated where are people supposed to go to me it seems like it's just a way to justify bombing any building in sight and say well they should have known better so why people lead the terrorists use them why people lead the terrorists use. their houses for rockets and for firing what do you want us to do you for tomorrow any terrorists will fire on your children from any house what would you do see we call before every strike i repeat before every strike we drop letters and we speak on the radio and we call upon civilians to get through to leave the places that can be. can be targeted and that's what happens if the terrorists use the civilians so if civilians don't want from us to use them let police not let them use them and lead the combust control gaza if he really doesn't don't want to be heard that's the only

one other thing i told alex was you know it's really hard when you have a blockade to actually bring construction materials and he's saying you know build gardens one of the palestinians build schools and gardens well they can't do that with the lack of materials through this blockade unfortunately to cut the interview short because of severe time constraints there's a lot more that could've been said alex thank you for the apology for balmain artie's media office in gaza and maybe i'll take you up on the invitation to come to israel for a chance to speak to you face to face now if you like what you see so far go to our youtube channel youtube dot com slash breaking the set and subscribe i got a facebook page at facebook dot com slash break in the set to follow me on twitter at abby martin breaks my preaching for now but stay tuned to hear about the campaign to divest from companies that are profiting from israel next. and this is really going to take three months for charges three. three three. three. three. download free blown video for your media project free medio don carty dot c

>> pretty confident, actually, alex. you know, i thought the outcome of that meeting was about as positive as you could hope to see from a bipartisan meeting of congressional leaders with the president of the united states, all four leaders, pelosi, mcconnell, reid, boehner, spoke positively about their prospects. about not waiting until the very end of the year to do it. john boehner laid out in that meeting a framework, a two-step process that would involve reaching a framework for the amount of deficit reduction, tax changes, spending changes, and then congress would fill in the blanks of that framework in early next year. i do think that because republicans to some degree why chastened by the election defeat of mitt romney and the fact that democrats gained seats in the senate are more in a mood to compromise and the president realizes that the fiscal cliff and the huge deficits are hanging over his administration and legacy, so everybody's got an incentive to compromise, especially with those tax cuts expiring at th

>> reporter: good morning, alex. palestinian medical services have identified the body of a 23-year-old they say was killed by israeli gunshots as he and about 3,300 other people approach the gaza/israel border. now generally speaking israel and gaza border is mostly farmland. there is an area that is about 300 meters or so that the israeli have declared a no-go zone. that has been used to attack israeli border posts and attempts to kidnap israeli soldiers. for the most part they are aware that is a no-go zone. following the truce signed on wednesday, it was unclear whether that no-go zone was still in effect and whether it was imposed or not. so this morning a group of palestinian farmers and others, because a as we mentioned that area is farmland, tried to approach the fence. there was a protest there. and that's when the shots happened. now palestinian medical sources say -- i should say palestinian factions say this is a violation of the ceasefire. they are not going to retaliate at this time but they will he can

sing their own civilians alex i mean you say they are targeting terrorists how do you legitimize that statement when the democratically elected leadership is hamas and when that make all public areas hamas affiliated where people supposed to go to me it seems like it's just a way to justify bombing any building in sight and say well they should have known better so why people let the terrorists use them why people let the terrorists use their houses for rockets and for firing what do you want us to do you for tomorrow any terrorists will fire on your children from any house what would you do see we call before every strike i repeat before every strike we drop letters and we speak on the radio and we call upon civilians to get through to leave the places that can be. that can be targeted and that's what happens if the terrorists use the civilian so if civilians don't want us to use them let police not let them use them lead the combust control gaza if he really doesn't don't want to be heard that's the only reason and lead them pressure from us not to fire rockets on israel enough to u

i know, really -- i thought it was about us, alex.

i think in some ways, in sort of a perverse way, alex is a victim. he's a victim of his upbringing. he's a victim of his father. he didn't have a father who took him, you know, and taught him how to throw a baseball or was involved in his life. his father's a criminal. he taught him how to be a criminal. >> while alex receives 14 years for the crime, trafficker michael erenhoff received a reduced sentence of seven years for testifying against his former partner. katya says neither sentence is long enough. >> i feel that when -- that she told judge that they will sit for that period of amount of time, i feel it wasn't enough for them. what they did to us, it was terrible. >> even today, with both men behind bars, katya lives in fear. her mother still lives in ukraine and the old rules still apply. >> alex's father, he was in ukraine and he knows my mom, he know where she lived and he visited her a couple of times after i ran away. he threatened her. he used very aggressive words. he said if i will not stop talking, that blood will come out from me. >>

alex? >> okay. thank you very much for the latest from gaza. we go from there to israel. nbc's martin fletcher is standing by in tel aviv for us. benjamin netanyahu spoke to the media a couple of hours ago. what did he say, martin? >> he said that they were celebrating in gaz a. he said here israel delivered what he called a massive blow against hamas and gaza, destroying much of the military infrastructure, destroying much of their long-range rockets. he said to the israeli people that he believed the truce is lasting for israel at this time. and those are the critical words, at this time. israel is looking with great skepticism at the cease-fire, waiting to see whether rockets resume, if not now, in weeks, months, and hopefully another round will not occur. but that's everybody's expectation. i want to say to what ayman was saying about the declaration of victory in gaza. the path for victory for hamas is very, very low, and the path for victory for israel is very, very high. israel has m

"we ask all the militant groups to respond to these massacres," this man said.
