tv   The Lead With Jake Tapper  CNN  April 17, 2024 11:00pm-12:00am PDT

11:00 pm
minister from israel, who also is a minister in the ministry of defense, is demanding that netanyahu launch a counter attack that quote, rocks tehran, referring to the acts of hamas and others. they say that would do things like october 7 to be quote-unquote erased all we know we here that we know israel's considering a strike on iranian soil, but we don't know more than that. so what what does such a thing actually mean? what, what happens when a counter strike occurs? yeah, so this is just a another, although an escalated series in what is a long-standing war between the israelis and the iranians? >> i think in this case, the iranians do have a lot of options my understanding is that they are considering many of them. they could be to target a range of bases in iran itself, to those in places like syria or even lebanon itself, or yemen particularly those
11:01 pm
that are populated by iran, islamic revolutionary guards, quds force, which is the paramilitary arm there are, there are some other options. the former head of the mossad is israel's former spy agency a couple of hours ago, also said the israeli cabinet is considering targeting iran nuclear infrastructure which would definitely be an escalation i think they are considering a lot of the options and probably trying to take an action that makes him look serious. but not get them into a complete all-out war. >> of course, though the every single one of these things that you say, i think anybody watching is fearful you think it's just a small escalation, but none of these things really are. we're in unchartered territory seth. >> thank you so much. >> thanks erin thanks for joining us. >> the lead starts now cnn breaking news welcome to the lean. i'm jake tapper. we start this hour with breaking
11:02 pm
news and what we do just heard from house speaker mike johnson live right here on the lead just minutes ago, he is facing a potential revolt from his far-right flank over his plan speakership. but speaker johnson tells me he's not worried about what could happen. he's gonna do what he thinks is right? even if the bill gets democratic votes this is very simple. >> i'm operating with the smallest margin and us history, i have a one vote margin, jake, so in order to get something into this underlying package, we have to have the votes in the florida pass a rule. i don't have all my republicans who agree on that rule. and that means the only way to get a rule on the floor is that it requires a couple of democrats let's speaker johnson explaining why there isn't a tougher border measure in this legislation as many house republicans want there to be coming up and just moments. one of those republic gins congressman chip roy of texas is going to talk to us. he said today he's passed the point of
11:03 pm
giving grace to the speaker. what's his response to what we just heard? all ask them, but we're going to start with cnn's chief congressional correspondent, manu raju minus speaker johnson admitting saying the quiet part out loud, he needs democrats he he's i only have a one vote majority and i'm only doing this because i won't get support from republicans on that what's going to happen? do you think he's going to get the votes for this package? and we'll democrats ultimately save his speakership if it comes down to it? it seems that the direction is headed jagged made a calculated decision to move on the policy and the process exactly what the democrats had what if they wanted to tie israel aid with ukraine aid and ultimately in the process of somewhat convoluted process, they plan to eventually get to the point where this will be all one big package, probably totaling about $95 on the speaker indicated to you there might be some changes here and there around the edges and some of them the policy provisions. >> but for the most part, this
11:04 pm
is very similar to the bill that passed the united states senate about two months ago. and that is one big reason why democrats our signaling that they may very well come to speaker johnson's defense. so i just put the day speaking to republicans and democrats up and down the line. it is very clear that democrats or the republicans our badly divided on this subject about this bill and about whether johnson deserve to remain speaker he's your support for your motion to vacate growing it is growing and i think some people are becoming more angry than i am so this we'll see what happens today. i don't know how long people are going to tolerate this because he's doing nothing but serving the democrats i haven't made up my mind yet i'm not happy about this rule and he's pushing us to the brink here. what do you think that for efforts to try to oust him from the job, i think i think it's a disservice to the conservative movement. >> i think it's a disservice to the country so the way this is going to break down jake is that on saturday, we expect
11:05 pm
that this bill there were but there'll be fully are four different packages, three of which have been released so far. >> a fourth one is expected to come out sometime today. that will be those bills will be approved on saturday, likely a bipartisan majority in the household prove that there'll be there needs to be a procedural vote first to take up that bill. typically, those procedural votes are done along party lines, but that's not going to happen this time. democrats are going to save this rule from going down to allow the underlying go from going forward. and what has angered most folks on the right is the decision by the speaker of the house to move border security measures as a separate bill on border security along a separate track, it will now be included as part of this big foreign aid package, even as johnson had indicated for months, that border security must be tied with ukraine in aid, which is a one big reason why many of those republicans are now gunning for him and saying that he should be out from the speakership because of that decision? >> yeah. they they they hate the notion of him getting the
11:06 pm
democratic votes, although in order to vacate speaker johnson, they will need and rely upon democratic votes i don't know if you heard our interview with adam schiff, democratic congressman, but i asked him if democrats were going to save the speaker, if need be and he said, basically i'm paraphrasing, but along the lines of if this bill, the legislation he's presenting is as he has said, it is basically just the senate foreign aid bill broken up then he started talking about chef, talking about you know, whether possibilities about enough democrats counter counterbalancing, whatever the republicans are that go off the reserve, that vote against speaker johnson or democrats not voting at all, or disappearing. i mean, there were a whole bunch of hypotheticals just talking about that i hadn't even asked about yeah. >> it look, that is a reality of the situation now, hakeem jeffries, the democratic leader, has not made a final decision about how he wants his membership to come down. his
11:07 pm
decision will be key. but in talking to rank and file data democrats, including congressman like you just spoke to adam schiff there indicating that they are very willing to save speaker johnson because of the decision to move ahead on ukraine aid. and that had to be part of johnson calculation here. he knew republicans were never going to fall in line on that issue, but democrats would. and this is different than the fall when met kevin mccarthy was ousted by democrats and eight republicans this time, congressman tom suozzi of new york told me he would vote to keep my johnson in the job. adam smith of washington st. indicated that he might as well as well as jared moskowitz of florida of just among the few who are indicating that they are not support this effort to oust mike johnson and hakeem jeffries says, it's time to save mike johnson. that will happen. the big question though, jake can johnson survived sustain the speakership propped up by democrats? that's going to be just one question for johnson and republican conference. >> all right, manu raju, thanks so much. let's bring in cnn's political director david chalian davies, help us put today in perspective house
11:08 pm
speaker mike johnson just telling me how the speakership job is effectively impossible right now, the smallest majority ever one vote he, by the way some of the, some of the reason that the majority so small is because some house republicans left and did so in a way left early and did so in a way so as to keep a majority small because they're so fed up with people that they think are ruining the place. you have the senate also. meanwhile, the same exact time wrapping up this impeachment trial against mayorkas, department of homeland security secretary, everyone knew was going to go nowhere. let's just start with this moment in history when i think it's fair to say there is some republicans in disarray. >> i mean, when you think about the first impeachment of a cabinet secretary in 150 years that republican several republicans themselves said did not meet the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors. i mean, the entire trial was done within three-and-a-half hours and so clearly democrats weren't taking it seriously. but even some republican said it didn't meet the threshold.
11:09 pm
you have republicans perhaps poised to oust their second speaker in six months time most conservative speaker in the hissed modern history of this congress, as they are holding the majority the house of representatives is the one slice of government they're in charge of. >> and they may just go through this self-immolation exercise again of getting rid of its own speaker. all while the republican nominee for president and the former president is sitting as a criminal defendant on trial in new york, awaiting jury selection to be completed in this first criminal case. his of his it's just it is a moment where you step back and say, you know, fiction writers would write each one of these things and you wouldn't believe it's all happening in the same de too broad, maybe too on the nose netflix would say now, that would never happen. david chalian and thanks so much. it's a busy afternoon here at the lead because it's a busy afternoon on capitol hill. republican congressman chip roy is just getting to our camera putting the microphone on his tie, will talk to him about all this next they told us to

11:14 pm
republican congressman chip roy of texas congressman. >> thank you so much for joining us. i want to play a clip what speaker johnson just told me about his view of the importance of passing the foreign aid bills that are going to come before the house. i believe on saturday, take a listen and we're going to stand by. israel are close ally and dear friend, and we're going to stand for freedom and make sure that vladimir putin doesn't march through europe. these are important possibilities. a strong america is good for the entire world since world war ii really, really the responsibility for the free world has been shifted onto our shoulders but you disagree with them. why is that case not good enough for you? >> will, jake? yeah. thanks for having me on and look. i don't really disagree with any statement that might just made he didn't abroad. sense of the words in fact, i wrote an op-ed yesterday about our need to stand right alongside israel. i believe that in strongly, i tried last night all the way till midnight goes into speaker's office trying to get us to put a israel burst bill on the floor. it's just focus on israel. get a rule move that
11:15 pm
let's focus on that and then have a debate about ukraine and what we're doing with respect to it. and it's funding. my concern about this package is it's $95 of foreign aid when a were $34.5 trillion in debt that but be we're also dealing with wide open borders and central our entire debate over the last year, as you know, has been the importance of making sure we secure the borders of the united states. we have 24th thousand over 24,000 chinese nationals, 85% of whom are single adults who have come into this country since october 1 that's more than all of last fiscal year. well more than 381. that's it. 381 that we had in 2021, the last year, president trump's tenure in terms of the fiscal year. so the reality is, we need to do that do our job. i would love to do what we can to support israel. again, i support it. but in this $95 billion package, there's 9 billion in humanitarian aid, which if you go look at who it goes to do, are the same kinds of organizations, not unrwa because we took that out a couple of weeks ago. but that goes to fund haas. so we're
11:16 pm
funding israel, which i support but we're also funding israel's enemies and funding hamas. this is the kind of duplicitous crap the american people retired up. so i'd like to go back to the drawing board, pass israel, stand alone and not have this package that has that funding and it that i think is nefarious and focus on the border first. so in terms of the border issue i asked him a lot of house republicans wants to have strengthening the border, tougher restrictions on the border and immigration, et cetera. as part of this, why isn't it part of it? and he said it's very simple. >> i have slanderous majority in the history of the congress. >> i i can only lose one vote. and therefore because there are so many republicans who will vote against the rule to introduce this legislation that he would need democratic votes to interest produce the rule to allow the votes on this legislation. and democrats won't have, they won't vote for anything that includes the immigration stuff that's why
11:17 pm
he just, you know what this is, the reality of it. and i just wonder if by opposing everything, your group of people who are, who are upset with what the speakers it's doing. if you haven't taken yourself out of relevance in terms of what's in the bill. if you were committed to, i will vote for the role as long as you put in immigration restrictions, then you might have more of an influence on what he's bringing to the floor for a vote on saturday? >> yeah. jake, so i told the speaker last night the number one that we had fold unanimity among the freedom caucus in particular, and that we could advance israel to the floor and support the role and have a vote on that. and then i said that i believe that we could get agreement on the rules certainly would have my support on moving a rule forward if you had ukraine with border security attached and border security, i offered numerous options that's right. not just hr to take it or leave it, but some variations of of hr two. maybe you could take out a verified and be able to move it
11:18 pm
along with it because there's some ag community that have some concerns about it. and i support you verify, but there are things we could do to try to move it around. there's a voter identification that we've got legislation that we're working on that i've been working on with the speaker on. there's other issues that we could deal with. this stuff up, the abuse of parole, these are all things that we threw out there as options. we don't know what the rule vote would look like because we've never tried. that's the truth. we've never tried to send over an actual border security package with ukraine so that we can make clear to our democratic colleague, the other side of the island, the senate and the white house that we're serious about that and that the american people want to see that first because we're dealing with that crisis from laken riley to the body's washing up in the rio grande to the ranch, devastation to the cause, 1,000 migrants in new york that are out there saying, hey, you're picking out a hotel's to go put us in these centers and they're protesting. i mean, this is like it's really devastating for the american people. what we're seeing happen and, and i can't overstate the importance of the chinese nationals were talking about the large number of single adult population. >> so i assume you're gonna
11:19 pm
vote against the rule on saturday. if marjorie taylor greene and tom massie put forward a motion to vacate, are you going to support vacating speaker johnson as you know? i oppose that last september i do not want to go into that zip code, if you will. i would rather us do our job, try to move this stuff four and work together, but i will say i'm very disappointed in the speaker this is a bridge too far in terms of where we're headed right now in terms of putting ukraine first rather than america's borders first i am sympathetic and open to having a conversation about israel and ukraine, but only after you've done your job to secure the border in the united states. and so that's my starting place. and you and i sat down in january 15 months ago. this this rule that they want to put forward, that's not an open debate. i mean, what i want to put that to bet, this is not an open process. this is pre-cooked to give you the exact result that came out of the senate. the numbers that are put forward are all the defense industries numbers. it's all the lobbyists numbers. it's all the pentagon's numbers. they're all doing it to give you exactly the same as the senate bill. it's all precooked, not
11:20 pm
going to be an open process for amendments and border this specifically left out and i said, hey, would you just put ukraine on the floor standalone? the answer is no. why? because they want to be able to manage the votes with israel. so we put israel on the board on the floor standalone know because democrats won support israel. look, the bottom line here is, we ought to try to move this stuff the regular order. this is not regular order. or if we're going to do a package, in autonomy in america parker first package that includes the border because that's by the way is what the speaker said almost every day and every week from november until last month, literally, go look at all the speeches, all the quotes he said, no ukraine without border. yeah, he congressman chip roy of texas. >> thanks so much good to see you, sir. held today. the present of columbia university in new york facing questions and criticism as some students say, she's not protecting them from anti-semitism. we're going to get into this undercurrent rocking so many college campuses in america right now stay with us hi, i'm kevin and

11:25 pm
your podcasts also on our politics lead today, campus antisemitism in the united states as once again, the center of a contentious house hearing this time the head of columbia university, as some students say, the school has not done nearly enough to protect them for antisemitism. >> one board member said, she's not satisfied with where columbia is in terms of his campus climate back in december as you may recall, a similar hearing went disastrously wrong for two university leaders, eventually ending with the presidents of harvard and the university of pennsylvania resigning. they failed to answer the basic question of whether calling for the genocide of jews amounts to harassment and anti-semitism. columbia university president today hey dr. minouche shafik and other school leaders had a chance to answer that very same question here's what they said does calling for the genocide of jews violate colombia's code of conduct, mr. greenwald yes, it does ms shipman? yes, it
11:26 pm
does. >> dr. sheffield? >> yes, it does. >> and professor schizer? >> yes, it does i guess they wanted their lesson our panel is here. >> margaret, do you think? those answers would have been so clear, quick, and definitive had they not been proceed by what happened? >> lab and for the questions that i knew that, you know, yeah. but if you fed her prepared testimony before she was there in front of the cameras and stuff. there was a passage that really stood out to me and it said something like, please remember university of presence are not politicians, which i knew was sort of wishful thinking like that, other people get to decide if you're a politician or not. but i think the reason that was sort of baked into the statement was that that has been the real problem you become a university president by virtue of a number of things may or b, or academic experience the work you've done for the university, but it's not usually because you have a decades-long record of political training and at least they have had sort of a crash
11:27 pm
course in cr aftert happefore. but even so she ran into some headwinds today. >> yh. megan columbia says 's firing one professor hired after he posted support for the hamas attack on october 7 colombia and condemned a tenured professor joseph mossad, who described hamas is tober 7 attack as a que, stunning victory in an online article. but he l s a job. i mean, tenure stil exists. i want you to listen to is exchange with republican congresswoman, at least defining like of new york is still in fact listed on e combia webte as chair of the academic review committee, are you aware of that i would need to check that the websites right here in this state cause he hasn't been removed as chair i would like to do you have my commitment. he'll be removed as chair to de i have my commitment commitment that i will come back to it, but yo can't say at this that this hearing that he should be removed as chair even though he violates not want him is chair and we are looking at the issue
11:28 pm
of faculty and mr. wade, what do you think kashmir moved as chair his comments are important and i believe that one of the steps that we could take in terms of discipline is to remove them from that leadership, is it thank you for that direct answer so some of the subtext of this is interesting because it's not as easy as a president saying this person is appointment and he should be removed as chair because colleges have all sorts of scurry rules and the faculty to deal with. >> but, but greene greenwald didn't say he's gone. >> greenwald said his comments were report, i believe that one of the steps we could take in terms of discipline is to remove him from the leader position but his answer was much more politic than hers. >> yeah. i mean, just like as margaret was saying, university of presence have a lot of different stakeholders here that they have to answer to. and they also don't take a lot of crisis comms classes or gave us this pie the first time they've had any sort of q&a and a tough setting before. so i do think i mean, obviously she could have answered much more definitively here and as
11:29 pm
her co panelists did yeah. >> and the thing about joseph mossad anybody paying attention to this campus controversy story would know that he wrote that story calling the hamas attack but praising it as a victory that's what martin months ago, months ago. and one would think that the university would say, okay, well, this guy maybe shouldn't be chairing our committee, but universities are tough place, jake write and they don't play by unfortunately don't play by the same rules as the normal world does. or summaries. and in terms of ten years guaranteed forever and ever and ever, that's that means no matter what you'd like, this court, supreme court exactly what not even the supreme court had the supreme court, you could kind of booted if you did something that badly. but the bigger question is the bds movement on campus, right? has been existing. the boycott divestment, sanction of israel. but it's been going on for a long time. one of my good friends ran this organization called campus maccabees, which tried to try to battle back and push on this for years. it's been going on and he would he
11:30 pm
would kind of sound the alarm bell for years and years and everybody kinda poo-pooed and it wasn't real. now we see it in full take full, full bursting glory. if you were saying that, describe that term, but it's a campuses all across america. it's a problem and we need to figure out why these young people feel it's okay to have these anti-semitic views. >> margaret, i want to play the sound to get your reaction another moment from the hearing columbia university's president struggled to answer it about specific student chance that we've all become quite familiar with since october 7. take a listen moms shouting from the river to the sea, palestine will be free or long live the infant-toddler are those anti-semitic comments? when i hear those terms, i find them very upsetting and i have heard that's a great answer to a question i didn't ask. is that fall under definition of anti-semitic? behavior yes or no why is it so tough? because
11:31 pm
it's it's it's a difficult issue. >> maybe i should ask your task force, does that qualify as antisymmetric behavior of those statements? yes or no? >> yes. okay do you agree with your task force? we saw the question. >> so the question so yes. you do okay. >> it's the intifada, not the infant-toddler, but in any case, what do you what do you make the exchange? >> it's. interesting. before, before this testimony today, a group of about two dozen jewish faculty at the university preemptively published something sort of questioning whether this is really the right theatre for these conversations, sort of suggesting that congress, these congressional hearings have been highly politicized. and in the words that i saw around the commentary around this, that it was a trap that there was a trap for a college president. i think she walked to drop on that question. and this is again, this is the balancing act. it is not that she isn't
11:32 pm
sure whether anti-semites does them is okay. that's obviously not what she's struggling with. it is balancing that act between allowing people to express their views, but ensuring that people are physically safe on campus, there are red lines that genocide is never acceptable when you talk about it, when they're under the kliger lights trying to walk the correct line. it is a highly politicized environment and that's what you saw are trying to navigate the difficult stuff. david urban, megan hayes, margaret tell if thanks so much. appreciate it. there's a brand new court filing in the hush money cover up case. it leaves out prosecutor's plans if donald trump does, as he says, he will and testifies in his own defense, stay with us i just works makes it less contrast you can rise from pain. i see yes for your ira or your old

step of the way go to four imprint.com for certain. i'm elizabeth wagmeister in los angeles in this is cnn in our law and justice lead a new filing today in donald trump's criminal hush money trial. >> and it just so happens to contain the former president's long list of pass legal troubles. not all the way back to the 70s, but more recent ones. it's a standard move in new york state trials. it says if the defendant chooses to testify hi prosecutors have, you know, can bring up any past misconduct and criminal acts and that but they have to let him know. and today's the de
11:37 pm
remarkably, the former president has a few of them, including being forced to pay for falsifying business records, forced to pay damages for defamation against e. jean carroll, forced to pay fees for a bad faith lawsuit against hillary clinton the judge in this case will have to decide which if any of these are relevant enough to be brought up before a jury with us now, former trump attorney tim parlatore, and we should point out to him, this only comes if they need it in the views of the prosecutors to undermine the president's credibility. and only if he chooses to testify do you think he's going to ultimately testify? >> i don't think he will, but litigating emotion like this is a very important factor in making that determination nation. and that's why it has to be done at the beginning of the trial and so you want to really have an idea of what, what is and is not out of bounds before you make that decision. but honestly, i don't think that he should or will testify in this case because i don't think that he has anything to add. it's just it's unnecessary risk. >> so let's talk about some of these issues that will come up
11:38 pm
in what's called a, in new york has sandoval hearing do, you think that it is relevant? and we had some other laura is talking about this, the letitia james case, attorney general, letitia james is saying the donald trump falsified business records and the judge ordered $355 million or whatever it was unbelievable i can't even wrap my brain around it. >> the argument would be it's it goes to credibility if he has been adjudicated as not ing nest and pay and find accordingly, that's relevant. correct i do thinkhat that one's gonna be problematic for them because it is something that's currently being contested on appeal, and it is also something that is so closely you know, paralleling this where it's a falsifying business records that it could be one of those things that they will find him more prejudicial than probative and so i think a judge probably would disallow that, but it is certainly something that i would have expected them to raid so this week, both the
11:39 pm
prosecution and defense and the judge are focused on jury selection. >> they've already seated seven jurors are you surprised with how quickly it's gone i am. >> i thought the jury selection was going to take a lot longer and the fact that they're already seven they're going to finish by the end of the week and what do you think the defense is doing right now in terms of preparing for tomorrow when they're going to be interviewing more of the potential hundreds that could be picked to fill the remaining, i guess, five jurors and six alternates, 11 spots well, there are definitely focusing on the past social media behavior of these of these potential jurors who was something that they use quite effectively in the first day of showing how certain people have made posts years ago in some cases that would be something that would be basis for a challenge for cause. so i think that they're primarily focusing on anything they can figure out in the backgrounds are social media activities are the people that they're going to be dealing with. tamara so
11:40 pm
trump's team has been concerned about finding an impartial jury in manhattan, which is heavily democratic. obviously we went through some of the jurors that have been picked so far. once a corporate lawyer, once a civil litigator first unusual to have that many lawyers on a journey? yeah. well, first of all, what do you think is that good or bad to have lawyers on the jury depends on the case yeah. i've never had one. but it certainly depends on the case. if you're trying to mount a technical defense and have them really stick to what the law is that having your an attorney on the jury can be very good thing. >> yeah. so but a lawyers i've had on my panels if i ever say to them like, well, what do you say to people who think that this is just a pissy little charge you're taking a misdemeanor and adding another misdemeanor morphing into a felony and you're treating people say, no one other than trump would be treated that
11:41 pm
way. >> and there are lawyers who say that's not true and like they get trump-hating lawyers just just people say, no, this is exactly what the kind of thing that district attorney's bring. so it also could work the other way. i think i've tried cases like that in manhattan before, where misdemeanors were turned into felonies. >> and so yes, it is something to happen i think having lawyers on the jury that can again, depending on which way they vote, the problem with having a lawyer on the juries that they can be a very strong voice and influence the rest of it panel. and so if they are strong to one side or the other, then that can sway everybody else on the panel. >> what do you make of what happened yesterday? trump was apparently making eye contact with potential jurors. he would monastery was admonished by judge merchan for muttering while one of them was being questioned judge merchan said, i won't have jurors of potential jurors intimidated what what did you make of that and did it did you have flashbacks about how difficult it was to tell donald trump
11:42 pm
what to do? >> making eye contact with jurors is not a bad thing. it's certainly something that i do. it's something that if you do you do it like with your eyes wide open, you're all being sympathetic, unlikeable. it sounds like it was there was some glorying going on that's certainly does sound like that. and also, what did he mater? that can be problematic. >> yeah. yeah. whatever he muttered, but i think that the judge certainly cut it off. and as i understand it, that juror was not seated anyway, tim parlatore. >> thank you so much. always good to have you on a deadly civil war. millions displaced and starving up next, the brutal conflict that is not getting enough of the world's attention stay with us how long have you been tracking the value of our car? >> should we sell it? we hold our low mileage is paying off. you think we should already sold the. carbonic go to carvajal and track your car's value today life after student

11:47 pm
civil war 14,000 killed more than 8 million people, forcibly displaced from their homes accusations of. rape murder, and horrific abuses sudan is on the brink, begging the world to see what's happening and send real help there were an atom who countries of the world are busy with the rest of the world. >> but we are third world countries. no one is concerned about us. that is why we all suffered suffering so grave that half the population need humanitarian aid a brutal war between the sudanese armed forces and arrival paramilitary group, rapid support forces, just entered its second year nothing was spared and civilians trapped in the conflict zone, a your work now, if we were inside our house when we were looted, robbed, and beaten, all of this

happened to us. they took our money and gold and even took my laptop the us is the largest donor of humanitarian aid to sudan. and just days ago washington pledged another $100 million in emergency aid, bringing the total amount donated since the start of the conflict to $1 billion but secretary of state antony blinken has accused the warring parties are blocking vital. it's and egregious abuse as both the saff and rsf have carried out war crimes, including rapes, torture extrajudicial killings, and other human rights abuses. >> commanders for the saff and the rsf have previously denied such allegations with the world, seemingly powerless to stop it amnesty international warns the warrants a dan is likely to continue and cause more civilian suffering if these strong statements and condemnation from the us and the un and the african union have not worked in sudan. so what's the fastest way to resolve the conflict?

>> exert pressure on the wedding parties to end violations against civilians to end indiscriminate attacks against civilians, to allow humanitarian access and to ensure they are held accountable for violations there, for meeting into them. >> larry madowo, cnn bureviy and our thanks to larry madowo for that report. also on our worldly today among the pro protests across the country this week, this image from yale caught our eye it's a poster honoring walid daqqa walid daqqa was the longest-serving palestinian prisoner in an israeli jail. he died of cancer while in custody last week let's the international had called for daca, who was in his 60s to be released on humanitarian grounds after he was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in 2022. amnesty issued a statement saying, quote, death in custody of walid daqqa is a cruel reminder of israel israel's disregard for palestinians right to life. it's an interesting term, turn
11:50 pm
of phrase there, a disregard for palestinians right to life, much of the news media coverage of walid daqqa's death after his 38 years in prison was along these lines. many stories barely, if at all, even mentioned why walid daqqa was in the israeli prison to begin with, he was in prison because he was part of a militant group that killed this 19-year-old moshe tamam if the coverage menton mentioned tamam at all, it called him an israeli soldier, which he was in the sense that virtually every israeli 19-year-old as a soldier, because that country has conscription but at the time that he was kidnapped and murdered tamam was not serving as a soldier. he was on leave and he was visiting his girlfriend in 1984 while lead daqqa was part of the pflp, the popular front for the liberation of palestine the original mission of his cell was to kidnap and israeli
11:51 pm
soldier into syria, bring them to syria to use as a bargaining chip. that's according to israeli security sources. so a pflp cell commanded by while daqqa kidnapped moshe tamam at beit lead junction. at first, they hit him in one of the terrorists houses for two days, the israeli security source told me, but when they realized that they would probably get caught on their way to syria, they decided to murder him moshe tamam was taken to an olive grove near me vote de atan where the members of pflp shot him once in the head and once in the chest, killing him they then abuse the body with a knife, unquote. >> his corpse was found four days after his abduction. >> now, while lead daqqa was not the shooter and he denied his involvement and commanding role in the pflp cell but he went through a trial and the court ruled that while the daqqa was an equal participant in the murder of this 19-year-old israeli in prison
11:52 pm
while he daqqa became a writer and buy some accounts, he matured and changed, which of course erases the murder in which he participated not at all. >> it's not as if the israeli government is beyond criticism for any of this, for how it's treated while the dhaka or for not allowing him to visit with his family before he died. that progressive israeli newspaper haaretz wrote an editorial excoriating the netanyahu government in particular, national security minister itamar ben gvir quote, the first and foremost of this governments, racists are at says for tearing down the dhaka families morning attend, arresting five dhaka family members and for refusing to return the body to the family the right-wing israeli education minister is calling for tel aviv university to fire doctor are not matar who was walid daqqa is friend. she's a philosophy lecture or quote for daring to eulogize him according to haaretz i asked moshe tamam's niece or tile to mom who never got to meet her uncle what she thought of all
11:53 pm
of this she said, quote, instead of leaving us alone for the following years, the murderer, while he daqqa kept being a terrorist from his prison cell. she said he was glorified by our enemies. they teach about him in schools. they made a play about them he was an inspiration to many other terrorist who later followed his footsteps and murdered innocent victims she continued the most upsetting thing is that while we lost my uncle when he was only 19, amnesty international, which is supposed to be an international well, human rights organization glorifies this evil murderer, not even mentioning what he did. they are actually doing international gaslighting to terror victims. the truth doesn't matter to them, unquote it is not surprising the degree to which too many people involved in this conflict, are not able to see the humanity of innocent folks. on the other side it's tragic and it's hideous and it's led to an awful loss of life on october 7. and since october 7, but it's not surprising war is
11:54 pm
awful but a prime minister whose political survival depends on anti-arab zealots like itamar ben-gvir can only lead to decisions rootedness inability to see humanity in an aerobe face, and the degree to which to many journalists and people in the human rights community have blocked out the humanity in an israeli face is also problematic it is heart-wrenching that while lead daca has died in israeli custody, said amnesty international heart-wrenching i ask this sincerely, does it wrench the heart of anyone at amnesty international that 19 moshe tamam was murdered anyone let's give or tile tamam the last word quote myself, just as most israelis aspire to live in peace. but this will never happen if the world makes heroes from the terrorist to murder us coexistence will only happen with those who believe
