Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. Let's get the latest developments on the war in the Middle East. The US has conducted airstrikes in eastern Syria on targets link to Iran. Those strikes come as talks intensified to secure the release of hostages in the Gaza strip As Bloomberg News Managing editor Sylvia Westall reports, President Biden discussed that issue with the leader of Katar last night. Kata's quite question important role in this. It's already helped mediate between Israel, Hamas and foreign governments to release a small number of people and the estimates for around about two hundred hostages still trapped there, and are those talks ongoing. There's been discussions between Biden and the ruler of Katar and all these countries involved, and Israel said it won't even contemplate a cease far until those hostages are released. Bloomberg Sylvia west All reports President Biden also talked about increasing the flow of humanitarian assistance into Gaza with Cautter's premiere. Well, it's really Prime Minister Benjamin Etna who was asked about whether there could be a deal to exchange captives with Hamas. There could be, but I think the less I said about it, the more I'll increase the chancels that it materializes. And it's a result of pressure, military pressure, of the extraordinary work that the idea of was doing. And Prime Minister Nanya, who was on NBC's Meet the Press, but as really President Isaac Herzog is expressing caution, there are talks of behind the scenes. I cannot confirm any details. What I can say is that there's nothing substantial right now on the table. The United States is also heavily involved in this, so there's nothing tangible that I can report. Israeli President Isaac Herzog was a guest on CBS's Face the Nation, and you can hear Face the Nation and Meet the Press every Sunday on Bloomberg Radio. Turning to politics back here at Home, Karen, there is now one less Republican candidate for president. South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has ended his campaign. Scott says he will not immediately make an endorsement in the race, and he's not looking to join a Republican ticket as a vice presidential candidate Well Nathan. The US faces a risk of a government shutdown at the end of this week. Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson is trying a new approach to funding the government. By Bloomberg's At Baxter reports, the shutdown risks still Inger. The Johnson plan would extend some government funding until January nineteenth and others until February second. It also declined to do the immedia thirty percent spending cuts demanded by the right wing of his party, so that means fewer Republican votes and reliance on Democrats to cross lines and vote for it. He says, spending addiction cannot be broken overnight. Democrats so far have been moot. Whitehouse, though has already said it would only lead to future shutdowns. Johnson says he's scheduling a vote for tomorrow at Baxter Bloomberg Radio. All right, thank you well. Former New York Fed President Bill Dudley's warning the US fiscal position is on a quote unsustainable trajectory. Dudley is also a columnist form Bloomberg Opinion. He told the conference in Sydney there's a lack of political will to resolve the crisis at a time when debt costs are soaring, Nathan. The warning from Dudley comes just two days after the US was threatened with the loss of its last top credit rating. Moody's Investors' Service signaled it was inclined to downgrade the nation because of a wider budget deficits and political polarization. Deborah Cunningham is Global Liquidity Market's Chief investment officer at Federated Hermes. The concerns being bore what's happening from a congressional perspective, and the dysfunctionality from a lawmaking standpoint is the concern rather than the actual quantitative financials. So I think from an impact as much on the economy from an impact on where rates are at this point, I think that's behind US and debort Cunningham had federated Herme, says Moody's is the only one of the three main credit companies with a top rating on the US Karen, We're watching for major geopolitical news this week. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Shei Jinping are scheduled to meet face to face on Wednesday, as the United States hosts the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Conference for the first time since twenty eleven. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says resuming military communications is crucial when it comes to managing the relationship. Ties and communications between our two militaries are critical. The Chinese have basically severed those communication links. President Biden would like to re establish them, and he will look to this summit as an opportunity to try to advance the ball on that. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan tel CNN. The Biden she meetings also expected to cover the Israel Hamas War, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, human rights, and artificial intelligence well NY then ahead of the Biden She meeting.

So the broader market Karen investors have another major event to look forward to tomorrow when we get the latest reading on inflation with the Consumer Price Index for October. Anda Wong is chief US economist with Bloomberg Economics.

This is Bloomberg day Break. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Now to the latest from the Middle East. The US continues to strike targets in eastern Syria that are linked to Iran, as Israel intensifies its ground campaign against Hamas in northern Gaza. All this as talks continue on the international level to try to release Hamas hostages from more. We're joined by Bloomberg Israel Economy and Government reporter Galite Alstein in Tel Aviv. Ghalite, Good morning. What's the latest we can say now about the ground assault? Of course, there's been a lot of focus in recent days on the Alshifa hospital that Israel says is hiding a main military headquarters for Hamas. Right, So good morning, Nathan. So, as you mentioned, we're seeing the Israeli army pushing forward on the ground operation in Gaza. In northern Gaza, the Israeli troops have been conducting rays over the past hours at the outskirts of the Alshati that's a camp in northern Gaza. They've been targeting what they say is tourist infrastructure that they say is located in central governmental institutions in the heart of civilian population, and that involves our schools, universities, mosques and residences. At the same time, you mentioned Alshika Hospital, so we've been hearing that the last generator that Al Shifa ran out of fuel two days ago November eleventh, and yesterday Israel said that it allowed delivery of fuel three hundred liters of fuel for the first time to this hospital, and then Israel exclaimed that Hamas has prevented the hospital from collecting this fuel. So we have to wait and see on what happens with that. The hospital director has said to media that this quantity, even if it had been collected is far enough from being enough. He said, it could only be sufficient for as little as thirty minutes of operations in the hospital. So we're still waiting to see what happens on that, and also in the evacuate of babies from this hospital, which the idea I found promise to facilitate has not yet happened according to Israel, because Hamas has also been preventing that. As the ground defensive goes on, Galad, of course, we're hearing more talk about trying to secure the release of hostages in the Gaza strip. President Biden held talks last night with Katar's emir about that what role could Qatar play in this situation? Right, so, Kata is considered to be a very important player, perhaps the most significant town of player in these negos negotiations on the release of hostages. There are two hundred and thirty nine hostages that are still being held in Gaza. So, as you mentioned, President Tom Joe Biden this speak with the Katari Emir and he said that the urgent, ongoing efforts to secure additional releases are going on. What we're hearing from Israel media at the same time is a lot of caution on these talks. We've heard them. Israeli President tom Isa Kertzev express question about a possible release of hostages helped by Hamasi said last night that there is nothing substantial right now on the table, although we are using all tools possible quote unquote, that's what he said, and Israeli media have been reporting that talks are on the release of around eighty hostages, probably women, children and earlerly will be prioritized if this release does take place, with Hamas demanding a ceasefire of roughly three to five days in return for these releases, and a similar number of Palestinian prisoners to be released as well. As I said, everyone is discussing this with a lot of caution, and it's not clear whether these talks will show any results anytime soon. In the meantime, Israel is also continuing to face fire from Hesbola in the north, going from or coming from Lebanon. Is the Israeli military in our last minute here Galite at risk of getting under further strain, potentially getting stretched. Right So so this is a very important point. Yesterday there was a very clear sense of escalation on Israel's border, with Lebanon. It was the most intense day of fighting since October seventh, a lot of back and forth fire, some civilians and civilians were injured. Israeli civilians were injured in these fire exchange exchanges. So Israel has been retaliating, you know, all the time to these attacks. There's also been some attacks this morning, although at a slightly lower scale with no one with no one injured. The Tel Aviv stock exchange is down for a second straight day following these events. So this is being closely watched on all fronts. And you know, I will mention finally that Israeli Defense minister, you have Glanc's ass at a press conference on Saturday night, what would be Israel's redline on this border? And he answered the reporter who asked this, when we strike in remoot, you'll know that this red line had been crossed.
