good afternoon, everyone. i'm ayman mohyeldin. country's military operations will press ahead, making no mention of a cease fire just hours after president biden personally conveyed to netanyahu that he expected a significant deescalation today. we'll have a lot more details on that call. this, as fears of wider conflict are now on the horizon along the border with lebanon. the israeli military announced it was shelling, quote, a number of targets over that northern border in response to earlier rockets coming from inside lebanon. it was intercepted in the sky by israel's iron dome. israeli troops say they shot and killed a palestinian woman who fired a rifle at them.

meanwhile in gaza, inside the gaza strip, the ap reports that at least nine people died in israeli air strikes this morning, including a palestinian journalist. the demolished home you're seeing here belonged to a 40-person extended family in the southern part of gaza. the israeli military says hundreds of rockets were fired from the strip into israel this afternoon, sounding sirens across southern israel. joining me now from tel aviv, erin mclaughlin and digital white house reporter shannon pettypiece. walk us through any movements on the diplomatic front. are we likely to see a cease fire happen in the next 24 to 48 hours? >> reporter: well, ayman, that is the subject of intense speculation here in israel, especially considering the amount of international pressure being applied to the situation.

but, as you say, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu issuing a statement seemingly in response to the white house readout of the call between himself and president biden. that statement saying he's determined to continue with this operation until security and safety of israelis is in place. also behind closed doors reportedly telling a group of foreign diplomats that israel does not have a stop watch for the operations, saying it's not possible at this point to provide a timeframe for its conclusion. this, despite growing pressure from the international community, given the scenes that we're seeing out of gaza, the civilian casualties, more than 220 palestinians killed. half of them, according to the gaza health ministry thought to be civilian. 64 children killed, in total. i was speaking on the phone earlier today to a man inside gaza city who was telling me he gets two hours of electricity every single day, and that he's

scared, terrified by these ongoing bombbardments. that can said, the israeli military is pointing to the ongoing rocket fire coming from gaza as well as lebanon. some 250 rockets fired today, pointing to that as the reasons for this operation needing to continue. ayman? >> yeah. we've been hearing the israeli prime minister talk about the threats the country is facing on multiple threats. shannon, we know this is the fourth time the american president has spoken to benjamin netanyahu over the last couple of days since this conflict began. what can you tell us about the language and demeanor now coming out of the white house? >> and so much nuance goes into all these official statements that we see come out. of course, this is what the white house puts out publicly and often be doesn't reflect what goes on behind the scenes. it appears that the white house is trying to ratchet up its language. they say in this call president biden expressed that he wanted

to see a significant deescalation today on a path towards a cease fire on that call on monday, the president said he supported a cease fire but stopped short of calling for a cease fire. another thing i would note, too, ayman, this is a white house statement. this is not coming from the president directly. we have not heard from him directly addressing this conflict head on since prerecorded remarks on sunday for a celebration at the white house. the president certainly had opportunities to address this yesterday. he was traveling with reporters. he was in dearborn, michigan, with one of the biggest arab american populations in the country. he could have met with community leaders there, address the topic. he did not. we have yet to hear from the president, you know, in any detail on this issue for days now. but, of course, i would mention all of this comes in washington as there is growing pressure from democrats to see the white house ratchet up their efforts to try and resolve this conflict

in any way that they can. and democrats in the house calling for a $700 million arms sale to israel to be stopped. that was something that was approved a month ago from the white house. now progressives in the house, in particular, are pushing for that sale not to go through. >> erin, really quickly, i know we had been talking about a new dynamic in this round of the violence, and that is what was happening inside israel with the arab population, the palestinian citizens of israel. can you bring us up to speed about what played out there with the national day of strike that took place yesterday and what the situation there is like today? >> yeah, that's right. really extraordinary scenes here in israel as well as in jerusalem, as well as the west bank, with a general strike that is pretty extraordinary for palestinians to come together in that way, taking to the streets, and the thousand extraordinary scenes out of ramalah, in

solidarity with the prisons. although clashes ensued as well there, devolving into violence with palestinian protesters, palestinians as well as israeli military in the west bank, as well as in east jerusalem. the situation, though, seems to have calmed down now, ayman. >> erin mclaughlin in tel aviv and shannon pettypiece outside the white house. thank you for starting us off. neftali bennett, currently a member of israel's parliament and served as israel's defense minister. i appreciate your time. we started as we were talking about there, the diplomatic efforts. we heard president biden conveyed to prime minister netanyahu he expects to see a significant deescalation today, setting up a potential cease fire. if that doesn't, in fact, happen, when that does happen, what would israel have achieved

over the last ten days? >> well, our goal is to disarm hamas and sort of prevent them from being able to lob at us thousands of rockets in the future. over the past ten days, they've shot roughly 3,000 rockets without any specific target, just on israeli cities, israeli homes and towns. this is, obviously, unacceptable. our goal is for them to not be able to do that again. >> as you know, very well, sir, israel has been in several conflicts with hamas over the years. each time it's claimed you want to prevent hamas from having the capabilities of launching thousands rockets into israel. since 2008, since the first war i covered, hamas' rockets are becoming more deadly by your own estimate. they're reaching deeper into israel. has israel's military strategy against hamas over these years been effective to achieve the

objective? >> we might need to rethink it. we have a real problem with a failed state, a terror state, whose explicit goal is to annihilate israel. it's sort of a problem. they're not out to seek some sort of peace. from the outset, they decided their goal is to destroy israel. and we might need to rethink our strategy vis-a-vis hamas. >> what might that entail, rethinking of strategy? >> imagine you have al qaeda on the american border, so this method of rounds might not be the right method. we might have to think of other options. i don't want to discuss that right now. >> okay. as you very well know, excuse me, there are people in israel who believe the prime minister is using this crisis to shore up political support. i don't want to talk about internal israeli politics but i want to read to you a quote from

thomas friedman. he says both bibi, benjamin netanyahu and hamas have kept power by inspiring and riding waves of hostility to the other. they turn to this tactic any time they are in political trouble. do you believe there is any truth in that? >> no. i think the fundamental problem here is that hamas wants to destroy us. in their constitution, right, in their very constitution -- i'll just readout one short paragraph, article vii of hamas' constitution, then the jews will hide behind rocks and trees and the rocks and trees will cry out oh, muslim, there say jew hiding behind me. come and kill me. that's their constitution. it talks about killing the jews. they have to decide, to change their goal, to start taking care of their own children.

as you well know, it has been a cornerstone of united states foreign policy for decades. yesterday, i interviewed the chair of the house foreign affairs committee who said he actually wants to review and evaluate u.s. weapons of israel. they want to block that weapons sale. what do you say to american taxpayers who are increasingly concerned about and don't want the united states to bank roll what some human rights organizations in israel and internationally are calling war crimes and apartheid being committed by israel? >> i'm not in the position to tell the american decision makers what to do. that's american policy. what i will say regarding the latter part of your question, that's a blatant lie. israel is the only true depp

democracy in this reasoning. hezbollah, isis, hamas, militias that their sole goal is to destroy us, a very democratic country in this region. the question is, do you want to be on the side of those who are fighting for freedom, for liberty, for good, or on the side of the bad guys, who just want to destroy all of that? >> you singled out hamas. i want to ask you about what's happening in the west bank and east jerusalem as you are saying it's a lie. president biden has reaffirmed president biden's commitment to a two-state solution. you say creating a palestinian state has reached, and i quote, a dead end. if you don't believe a two-state solution, what should happen to palestinians under your rule? >> we're talking about -- right

now there is a palestinian state in gaza. we handed all of gaza to the palestinians. what happened is they turned it into a terror state. not unlike the taliban. so, clearly, that is not the right method. having said that, there are 2 million palestinians living in sumaria and we have to work out a way of living side by side, in peace and in dignity while at the same time not allowing them to kill us. >> yeah. mr. bennett, i lived in gaza for two years as a reporter there. you withdrew the settlements and troops but kept a crippling blockade which international organizations, the united nations have said devastated their economy, the air space, entry points in and out of gaza along with egypt. there is, from the international community's perspective, criticism that gaza has never had the chance to economically develop. >> no. you're turning things upside

down. because, indeed, we don't allow now gaza to import missiles, explosives, because we don't want to die. i've got four kids. we spent the week in the shelter. from the very moment we left gaza, they shot at us rockets. and then, indeed, we said we're not going to let them import that. they've spent billions of dollars that -- of donations, in building up weaponry and all these rockets while they could have spent it on schools, on parks, on hospitals. so, their leadership is terrible. and i think, you know, your questions should be focused, why are they doing that? why aren't they seeking peace? >> is it safe to say you see the two-state solution or the oslo process as defunct and no longer a viable option? >> it's true to say that we need to look at creative solutions.

you know, i came at the agent in a high-tech arena as a startup entrepreneur. what i learned there is when you try something again and again, it doesn't work, you have to try creative and novel solutions. there's a lot of great things we can do. >> can you be specific about one or two of them? >> fundamental -- >> can you be specific about one or two of them? >> yeah. economy, get people jobs. i believe in people. i believe in dialogue. i believe in actual life versus building another terror state like the one we unfortunately allowed to develop down in gaza. >> just to be clear, the scenario you're describing, would palestinians have full, equal rights? >> they have rights to vote. they have equal rights in their parliament. they can vote. they decided to postpone the elections. there's just one thing that we

can't allow them, the right to kill us. that's one right that we're not going to provide them. >> i think everyone can agree on that. naftali bennett, thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> fbi has just released new, disturbing video of attacks on police officers at the capitol insurrection as they search for suspects who have evaded capture for 19 weeks. this, as authorities make even more arrests, including one suspect who allegedly bragged about showing police -- excuse me, shoving police down the stairs. but one republican member of congress is claiming it's the people who stormed the capitol that are, quote, being abused. we'll show you that video. you're watching ayman mohyeldin reports. hyeldin reports. u'd never want leftover onion residue or any food residue on any of your surfaces. but that's what you could be doing if you're cleaning with a used dishcloth, even after you've rinsed it. so, switch to a fresh sheet of bounty for a more hygienic clean. unlike used dishcloths that can carry and redistribute residue,

breaking news this afternoon, the fbi has released

videos of the insurrection for help to identify them. on tuesday the fbi arrested daniel gray, who is charged with assaulting, resisting, impeding and interfering with police, among other charges. joining us now once again, investigative correspondent scott mcfarlane. walk us through the latest videos from the fbi. >> let's start with those videos, ayman. the fbi posted two new videos from outside the capitol, january 6th. they're seeking tips because they're still seeking the insurrectionists captured in the video. take a look at it. you can see how visceral, how "game of thrones" like this fighting was on january 6th. 460 cases, as you mentioned. from the court filings i'm looking at, there are probably 50 to 100 more arrests still to come. the fbi clearly needs tips to make those arrests. you mentioned the case of daniel gray. he's from georgia. his case stands out to us. one of the latest people to be arrested. he stands out because of what

he's doing to and saying to police about that day. he knocked police down a staircase january 6th and injured the officer. in his messages, they say he seemed to taunt police that day, allegedly saying he told officer s to go home to their husbands, wives and kids, seemed to celebrate that an officer was crying that day and said it was the boldest thing he ever did in his life. ayman? >> what are the latest developments in some of the other alleged capitol rioters? >> chris lorel, accused proud boy and using chemical spray against police. his case is like any other. he has filed a motion to get his case transferred from here in d.c. to his home state of florida. he says he can't get a fair jury here in d.c. because in his words 95% of the people who live in the district of columbia don't support donald trump. he said he's getting unfair

media attention in d.c. prosecutors are punching back, saying he's getting even worse media attention in florida and have invoked watergate, saying the watergate defendants got a fair trial in d.c. years ago. ayman, back to you. >> scott mcfarlane always a pleasure. >> despite being co-written by republican congressman john capco is now opposed by republican leaders in the house and senate. despite hundreds of arrests from that day in connection with violence against police officers, georgia republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is claiming it's the alleged capitol rioters who are being treated unfairly. watch this. >> while it's catch and release for domestic terrorists, antifa,

blm, the people who breached the capitol on january 6th are being abused, some even being held for 23 hours a day in solitary confinement. >> joining me now is punch bowl news founder, and i am proud to say on air for the first time msnbc contributor anna palmer. congratulations. welcome to the msnbc family. it is a very well deserved contributorship. happy to always have your insights on the air. let's talk a little bit about what we're seeing here. mcconnell, mccarthy, don't they realize the reason for opposing the commission is basically going to be conflat echt d with the likes of marjorie taylor greene? don't they risk giving the impression that somehow they are defending the insurrection by blocking this commission? >> on the issue of the january 6th commission, it is going to be something to watch. you see kevin mccarthy putting

his republican members in a really tough position. he has said publicly that he does not support it. they put out a statement on it. they're not necessarily really trying to get republicans not to vote for it. they expect to vote 30 or so is what we're reporting so far today that will actually support this commission, but i do think you're right. it puts a lot of mixed messaging here. where are republicans when it comes to january 6th, when it comes to the mob and insurrection that attacked the capitol? and it all goes down to donald trump. i think there's a lot of fear here among republicans that supporting the january 6th commission would just really rile up the former president and cause a lot of other problems for them going forward. >> i know that politicians change position all the time in d.c. the interesting thing here is that mccarthy was the one who empowered catco for a compromise and now isn't supporting that.

>> it's very unusual. we're seeing a real misstep, i think, from kevin mccarthy, and republicans are taking note. folks we talked to are really surprised that basically this commission and the bill was done in lockstep with leadership. it's not as if he put together a package and kevin mccarthy was surprised by it. ultimately, he felt politically he couldn't support it, clearly. but i do think when it comes to mccarthy empowering other members on very tricky issues or politically sensitive issues going forward, i think a lot of members will take a second look at that and say do we have your support to be the negotiator here, or are you going to pull the rug out from under us? >> republican congressman adam kinzinger tweeted wondering if mccarthy had yet met with d.c. metropolitan police officer, which mccarthy said he would do, following reports that his staff hung up on him when he called to speak to mccarthy about what he personally suffered and experienced during the riots on

january 6th. why do you think he has not met with the officer yet? is he prolonging this controversy by not meeting with him and focusing more people to ask him about it every day? >> yeah. it's kind of a conundrum here. i think he's probably not wanting to have the political firestorm and give political oxygen to this issue and this police officer, who clearly has a very different view of what happened on january 6th. this is not what house republicans want to be talking about. we've been writing about this the last couple of weeks, but basically kevin mccarthy wants to turn the page on january 6th, on the commission. he wants to be focusing on democrats and opposing them and their message. it clearly is not working so far. >> anna palmer, congratulations, once again. and thank you. >> thank you. president trump's legal problems just got a lot more serious with the new york attorney general, joining a criminal investigation into his organization, our good friend ari melbourne joins me with his analysis on that. you're watching ayman mohyeldin

former president donald trump said it will join the

manhattan district attorney's office on a criminal investigation. in a lengthy statement he said, quote, there is nothing more corrupt than an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime, saying that the attorney general of new york literally campaigned on prosecuting donald trump even before she knew anything about me. citing a source familiar with that investigation, as msnbc previously reported, it stems from allegations made by former trump attorney michael cohen that the trump organization misstated valuations for assets. ari melber, host of "the beat," joins me. good to see you, my friend. new york attorney general's office said our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil. we are actively investigating the trump organization in a

criminal capacity. what is the significance of this move, and could it mean jail time? >> yes. significant is exactly that, ayman, that a criminal investigation that is confirmed to the potential subjects or targets as they said now confirmed publicly, given the high interest in this, and speculation on all sides tells us someone could face jail time. we don't know who, but it could be someone in the position to command and control and direct activities by the trump organization including, potentially, the ex-president donald trump. it's a huge deal. we did know that trump lost his year's long battle to tax returns and the d.a. has them and we did know these parallel investigations were ongoing. you can use common sense here, ayman. if the new york d.a. was about to wrap up with no charges whatsoever or was strictly staying in the civil lane, we wouldn't get an announcement like that. it doesn't mean that we could predict if and when an

indictment were to come of anyone. we could never do that. there's more to be done and some, in the views of these investigators, have criminal exposure. >> so former president trump and don jr. complained that the attorney general campaigned on prosecuting trump. could that cast a shadow on prosecution? >> it could, ayman. on one hand, what do people know about latisha james in new york and around the country up until, say, yesterday? that she launched a serious investigation of the most famous and top democrat out of new york right now, andrew cuomo. i don't think that they look at him as somehow only going after donald trump and his friends and republicans. having said that, donald trump, as a person under scrutiny, has every right to raise questions about whether he's being dealt with fairly or to use a legal

term, selectively prosecuted if it comes to a prosecution. he's raising that. ultimately, how does it matter? either of these cases go forward without anyone being charged, fine, or some people get charged. everyone in america and new york gets charged the same way, ayman. you get pulled in a booking photo, right to that first appearance, get released on bail if you can or get held in some cases if you can't. and you go through that process. if you can convince one out of 12 jurors that it's unfair, that you were selectively targeted, that you were not guilty for whatever reason, that can work. i wouldn't say it's a zero factor but certainly is not going to stop the investigation. >> i know it's hard, and this may be a hard question because you haven't seen the evidence. as someone who has tracked this case closely and all the people involved in it, michael cohen has met with prosecutors many times in recent years. what do you anticipate his role going to be in the investigation going forward or perhaps what it may have been already?

>> well, attacking michael cohen, that's kind of a tell. you don't need to discredit people who are irrelevant or don't know anything. >> right. >> right, there are people affiliated with the trump organization who have cooperated. there are people who are clearly seen as anti-trump, cohen and trump have clashed ever since their fallout very famously. but when you get to the other people, there may be individuals inside the trump organization who are still cooperating, which is to say answering questions. they may still have a favorable view of donald trump. they may think he and the company have done nothing wrong. should they go to jail if others don't? what we'll see through this process here is the investigators, ag and the d.a., trying to say that the targets, the subjects and everyone around, this is serious. people could face jail. they want to put the squeeze on. then we'll see what happens with the actual evidence they collect. you can't hang a case like this on one witness.

you need documents, financial, cooperation, and in addition one or more people to corroborate what they say was, if it was allegedly a criminal conspiracy of any kind. >> massive undertaking. ari melber, thank you, my friend. for much more of ari's analysis catch "the beat" tonight 6:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc. if you're itching for a vacation overseas, you are one step closer to taking off with eu officials, announcing they're lifting travel restrictions for those who are vaccinated? we'll tell you what you need to know next. you're watching ayman mohyeldin reports. din reports. because when caught in early stages, it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your prescriber or an online prescriber if cologuard is right for you. i'll do it.

here are the facts in the coronavirus at this hour. india recorded 4,000 deaths, the highest single daily death toll in any country whatsoever. the virus is spreading in the countryside where testing is limited and the medical system is overwhelmed. just in time for summer, the european union says it will

reopen to visitors who have been fully vaccinated with an approved vaccine. fully vaccinated people from the u.s. and other countries will not have to quarantine or be tested upon arrival. most coronavirus restrictions have now been lifted in new york, new jersey, and connecticut. states that were once the epicenter of the pandemic here in the united states. new jersey, however, is keeping the indoor mask mandate in place until more residents are vaccinated. the new record death toll in india comes as the who says the has reached vaccine apartmentheid. high-income countries like the united states account for 15% of the world's population but have 45% of the world's vaccines while lower and middle-income countries account for almost half of the world's population but have received just 17% of the world's vaccine.

joining us to talk about this at the university of washington's institute for health metrics and evaluation, an msnbc medical contributor and regular for us on this network. dr. gupta, great to see you again. i'm curious to get your thoughts about what we heard from the director general of the w.h.o. about the situation and the world is reaching, quote, a vaccine apartheid. what do you make of that assessment? >> ayman, good afternoon. he's spot on, sadly. .3% of the vaccines that have been given to people across the world have been given to the 29 poorest countries worldwide. yesterday in india, you mentioned 4500 deaths that are recorded. india experienced 13,000 deaths in one day, yesterday, peak in daily deaths and that was yesterday.

brazil, 3500 estimated deaths in total. those numbers boggle the mind in terms of what we're dealing w 300 million excess doses were expected by july, 300 million. yet we think india and brazil will only be able to vaccinate their population by the end of the year. u.s. and other high-end countries should absolutely do more. i understand there's debate about what dr. governor mike dewine did in ohio with a vaccine lottery. if we're putting on lotteries for the privileged to coax them get the vaccine fundamentally that means we have too much vaccine supply. we should be delegating more right now, not just 20 million. >> president biden said he will ship 60 million doses of as trazeneca, 20 million of pfizer, moderna and johnson & johnson by

the end of june. how much should the u.s. be donating to other countries and what should manufacturers be doing to reduce the gap between rich countries and poor countries? is it distribution and purchasing power of these countries? >> a few things, ayman. thank you. >> first of all we can keep back 100 million and give 200 million now. there's no supply chain issues, so we should be giving more doses fundamentally now, lifting the export ban. that will be very helpful. that's number one. number two, frankly, the indian government can make changes here. the ownness is not just on us but on them, too. prime minister modi and his team, for example there's an issue with johnson & johnson and the liability cause, saying they'll be open to lawsuits. they need to scrap that. that's also scared away moderna and pfizer as well. they need to scrap this liability clause.

johnson & johnson, those who want that one-dose vaccine in there now stop with the politics and let's get the vaccine improved in india. it's an effective vaccine. indians will take it. there are things we can do in terms of lifting the export ban and there are things the indian government can do to help themselves. >> europe is moving forward with its easing of restrictions. we've got more states easing and ending mask mandates here. europe is set to reopen. is there any concern, is there any danger that these moves could backfire and lead to a potential rebound in cases and deaths? >> ayman, there's always that potential so yes, absolutely. they're doing it smartly. there will be a vaccine verification system in place. the association representing

we're continuing to follow breaking news out of the middle east today. israel's iron dome intercepted rockets over the city of heafi. lebanese army patrol and five days after israeli forces killed a lebanese man at a protest along its border. joining me now foreign correspondent raf sanchez. raf, by some assessment this is a dangerous and considerably, perhaps, spreading crisis. what are you seeing in beirut? what are reactions from various factions inside lebanon? >> reporter: earlier today four rockets fired from southern lebanon toward israel, israeli military firing back with artillery. nobody was hurt in this instance, but each time this happens, and it has happened three times in the last week,

both lebanese and israelis are asking themselves the same frightening question. is this a sign that hezbollah, the powerful lebanese militant group that has fought israel in the past, is getting involved here, fighting israel now joining alongside hamas. the answer has been no. the rockets have been fired by smaller factions in southern lebanese. we spoke to someone from the american university of beirut and explains that hezbollah and israel knows a war between them would be devastating. >> they know a war is devastating on both sides but both sides are prepared to fight a war if it happens so they're careful to avoid being pulled into a war when it is not in their strategic interest to do

so. >> reporter: just because they're not firing rockets doesn't mean there isn't real anger here. you are hearing the anger among the 500,000 palestinian refugees in lebanon forced from the homes in 1948. as you said there have been demonstrations south of here at the border. in some cases young men tried did cross the border into israel and over the weekend a tank firing after one of those attempted crossings according to israeli military and a man killed here. it is a tense sich wags on the board ir. >> thank you. joining me now is democratic congressman of wisconsin. thank you for your time.

since the start of the crisis is president is increasing the pressure in the conversations with israel's prime minister to did escalate the tensions? what do you make of the response? how would you rate it? >> thank you for having me. we need to be a stronger and demand a cease fire for the sake of israelis and palestinians. we have to stop this and have de-escalation and that is something i think that the biden administration can push hard. there's a letter that over 130 members of congress are asking for a cease fire. that's what we need first and foremost and then other issues to take care of. >> do you think the president is too timid in calling for a cease fire publicly?

>> one of the strong things of joe biden is he is open to listening to members of congress and the public. he listened to congress and changed course. we are hoping here he can be stronger to demand a cease fire but without a cease fire you continue to see children and other innocent people killed because of the ongoing actions and there's only two people that benefit from everything going on. benjamin netanyahu and hamas as an organization and the vast, vast majority of people in israel and palestine are paying consequences. >> as you have probably seen we have been reported of a reported weapons sale going to israel this afternoon. i had a chance to ask the chairman of the foreign affairs committee whether he is writing to pause or stop that sale. i know that other representatives introduced house

resolution -- i can't see the numbers there but opposing the $135 million arm sales to israel. the white house approved the deal this month. what made you decide to try to block it today? >> the fact that benjamin netanyahu is refusing a cease fire, we provide things that i have supported the iron dome to de-escalate a situation. if a rocket is taken out you don't have loss of life. however, that is a tool to de-escalate but if israel sends 20 times the number of missiles back and takes out homes and media outlets and roads to hospitals that's not in the interest i think of what we intended to have the iron dome for and a pressure point. if they're not going to have a cease fire we need to force them to have a cease fire because the first thing to have happen to

have peace is stop attacks from both. so really it is a pressure point device. we need a peaceful resolution and this is our way of trying to get the attention of netanyahu who otherwise is trying to benefit politically from what's going on. >> what about calling for an end to hostilities. the french want to call for that and the united states told them that they would vetoey resolution going to the u.n. sclouns. >> i think you are seeing an escalation. a letter of at least 130 members of congress asking for a cease fire should be a strong signal to the administration that is what members of congress want to end the tensions going on and hopefully that will allow the biden administration to be more aggressive with benjamin

netanyahu's administration. there are many other things to deal with. this didn't happen a couple weeks ago when there's attack in a mosque during ramadan. it didn't happen as they take housing from'm in east jerusalem but years and maybe decades and because of that we have to do something different. otherwise it is the definition of insanity and i think we feel like this is insanity. >> sir, greatly appreciate your time and insights. >> thank you. that wraps up the hour for me.
