People want Hamas destroyed both militarily and politically,” says Gutman, 45. “And I think it would be very difficult for Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, not to launch some sort of significant incursion at this point.” As the reporter is about to continue, his attention is drawn offscreen and directed toward a uniformed man, who tells Gutman that he has to leave. “The IDF has issued an immediate alert that everybody has to leave.

There is some security incident just near us,” the official tells Gutman, referring to the Israel Defense Forces. “There’s this battle that we’ve been hearing about,” the correspondent says as he and his camera crew begin to depart. “We’re gonna just walk to the car if you guys wanna stay with us.”At that point, Whoopi Goldberg tells Gutman that he needed to “do what you have to do.

Matt. Go do what you gotta do, we got you.”Refusing to give up the story, Gutman calmly replies, “We’re okay. We’re walking to the car anyway, which is right over there.” “They’ve had this battle,” continues the intrepid reporter. “And I just want to show you what’s going on here — these armored jeeps are going towards where we’ve been hearing this incessant gunfire.
