North Korea Threatens to Suspend Nuclear Talks with U.S.; Israeli Media: IDF Believes Tel Aviv Rocket Attack Likely a Mistake.
BERMAN: We have breaking news overnight. North Korea says it is considering suspending nuclear talks with the United States and, perhaps more importantly, is threatening to resume nuclear and missile tests once again. This comes after last month's failed summit between President Trump and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. CNN's Paula Hancocks live in Seoul with these breaking details dangling the possibility of new missile tests, Paula.</s>PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, that's right, John. We heard from the vice foreign minister just speaking to reporters based in Pyongyang. And what she said was North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is right now trying to figure out if he wants to continue these diplomatic talks with the United States. Also saying that he might lift the moratorium on nuclear and missile testing. Now, that was the one thing that the U.S. president said he did come away with after that Hanoi summit, that the North Korean leader had promised him that there was going to be no more testing. And that was important to him. She also pointed out, quote, "The U.S. were too busy with pursuing their own political interests and had no sincere intention to achieve a result," repeating the claim, as well, that the North Koreans never actually asked for all sanctions to be lifted, as the U.S. president had claimed, but only a few of them, those that were affecting the North Korean people. Interestingly, though, she didn't say anything bad about the U.S. president, saying that there was still a great relationship between Mr. Trump and Kim Jong-un. Also saying that the chemistry is mysteriously wonderful. Instead, she actually laid the blame for this all going wrong at the door of the U.S. secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, and John Bolton. Alisyn, back to you.</s>CAMEROTA: Paula, thank you very much. We will check back throughout the program. Meanwhile, there's more breaking news. Israel is blaming Hamas for two rockets that were launched at Tel Aviv, but media reports suggest those may have been a mistake. Israeli Defense Forces responded by hitting about 100 Hamas military targets in Gaza. CNN's Melissa Bell is live at the Israel-Gaza border with all of these breaking details. What have you learned?</s>MELISSA BELL, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Alisyn, that's right. A hundred Hamas targets that were targeted overnight, struck overnight by Israel, this in the wake of those two rockets landing in Tel Aviv, sent from Gaza, the first time that that has happened since 2014. And that really represented something of an escalation that no one had really seen coming at this particular stage, Alisyn. What we're hearing from Israeli media reports is that the Israeli Defense Forces assessment at this stage is that those rockets that were targeted at Tel Aviv could have been the work of some low-level Hamas operatives. That is, that they might not have been sanctioned. And so really a sense this lunchtime here along the Israel/Gaza border of all parties seeking to de-escalate in the wake of this flare-up. We've been hearing from Gaza that the weekly protests along the fence for today, those Friday protests, have now been canceled. We've also been speaking to a spokesman from Islamic Jihad, one of the groups that functions within Gaza, saying that overnight, an Egyptian delegation present on the ground has really been trying to calm things down and that all parties inside Gaza are now looking for calm to be restored if Israel is prepared to look for the same -- John.</s>BERMAN: All right. Thank you so much for this report. We're watching this very closely. A very important day there, obviously. In the meantime, we're getting new information on the anti-immigration terror attacks at two mosques. Forty-nine people dead. We are at the scene of the shootings. We'll have the breaking news next.
