on his victory, to show there's a difference biden and netanyahu hate each other, trump and netanyahu get along and benjamin netanyahu wants to shift attention to iran if not militarily then at least politically and we will see that lead into this executive order restoring maximum pressure. stuart: we just heard a senior official says donald trump sees the gaza strip as a demolition site, he think that is in humane to force people to live there, it is uninhabitable. bearing that in mind where did the palestinians displaced, where do they go? >> that is the million-dollar question and no one can answer that because the logical choice would be for some to go to egypt and jordan and other arab states to take what they call their arab brethren but no arab state wants palestinians and they put that in writing. no deal. as that idea. nonetheless it is useful for trump to start to shake up the status quo because the situation where gaza, that pile of rubble is allowed to contain a population that festers, reconstitutes hamas and eventually re-attacks israel is not a great long-term solution.

netanyahu at the white house to talk about gaza and freeing the remaining hostages. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: it's president trump's first invitation to a foreign leader, after four years of president biden denying netanyahu a white house visit. >> we want peace. we want people to stop being killed. but everybody's demanding one thing, very simple, peace. he wants peace also. >> hamas is not going to be in gaza, and we're going to get everyone back. >> reporter: sitting next to netanyahu, mrtrump suggesting close to two million palestinians could move out of gaza to egypt and jordan while gaza is rebuilt. >> gaza maybe is a demolition site right now. if you look at gaza, it's hardly a building standing. i think we need another location. i think it should be a location that's going to make people happy. >> reporter: most don't want to leave, and leaders in egypt and jordan have said they don't want to take them. >> the whole thing is a mess, and i think that if we can resettle, and i believe we can do it in the areas where the leaders currently say no. >> reporter: the family of american- israeli hostage siegel speaking to nbc news after he was released saturday following 484 days held ca

how much space is he going to give benjamin netanyahu as we approach the second phase, this is not joe bidenple of israel, the idea of israel, not so much for the netanyahu government. this is donald trump transactional president who wants a nobel peace prize. and if he does, the road to that prize lies through gaza and something for the palestinians. and he's not going to have much patience, i suspect, for benjamin netanyahu, if he sees him delaying, let alone manipulating. >> noga, i have less than. >> a minute left, and i. >> have wanted to push this. conversation forward to tuesday, to the latter phases of this deal. >> because the. >> stakes are, of course, so high for these. >> families, for the region. >> but i do want to live just for a moment in the celebration of this, of this moment and what it means to the folks you are with in hostage square. >> could you please repeat that question? there's a lot of noise here. >> you got it. i just i want to just give you a second to reflect on the celebration that is happening around you. it's. >> a muted celebration. i just have been talking

netanyahu at the white house to talk about gaza and freeing the remaining hostages. it's president trump's first invitation to a foreign leader after four years of president biden denying benjamin netanyahu a hite house visit. >> we want peace and we want people to stop being killed everybody is demanding peace. >> he wants peace, also. >> at a late evening news conference transit for the first time the u.s. would take over rebuilding gaza. >> the u.s. will take over the gaza strip and we will do a job with it, too. we will own it. and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. >> when asked by kelly o'donnell if the u.s. presents would be permanent -- >> i do see a long-term ownership position and i see it bringing great stability to that part of the middle east and maybe the entire middle east. >> later -- >> we have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal and i don't want to be cute, i don't want to be a wise guy but the rivie

be interesting to see, you know, the public-facing side of that, especially given how frothy biden-netanyahuionship was. host: this visit to washington, to the white house and the second trump administration. guest: absolutely. yeah. it's easy to read into that come into the significance of netanyahu being the first four and visit the white house. biden publicly criticized netanyahu, saying it was making it more difficult. with trump, he's been vocally pro israel, even though at times during the campaign, he suggested israel was "losing the pr campaign," as he put it, a couple times. trump and netanyahu has a strong relationship. obviously trump welcoming netanyahu into the white house a couple weeks into his second term. they want to tout this partnership, tout trump's support for israel, and certainly it will be interesting to say what -- to see what john has to say about the future of gaza. you heard him talking about wanting to "clean out gaza," so certainly will be closely monitored what those two have to say. host: finally, brett sandals, walk us through what we should be watching for

roger, it makes you wonder what the biden administrations was doing the last four years. >> netanyahu has been trying to manage the w the biden administration and deal with the actual source of the terrorism, iran. president trump comes in and right away and why i see president netanyahu smiling. it all goes away. prime minister netanyahu heard president trump say i want the hostages home. he will hold hamas accountable in the executive order makes clear the source of the problems in the middle east in gaza stem from iran and the maximum pressure campaign is now against iran, not against israel the way netanyahu and the israelis felt they were dealing with at times during the biden administration. there is a lot here that president netanyahu will be quite pleased about and handled president trump's idea how to deal with gaza, a lot of details need to play out. as i referenced before, that just opens up the playing field to an entire new set of possibilities. israel has its interests. not clear they actually want u.s. leading in gaza or boots on the ground in gaza. not sure americans w

he is israel's leader, benjamin netanyahu said that biden put daylight between the u.s. and israel and that created more danger for the region. can you take on those two issues right now? >> sure. it was a pleasure to see two of my oldest friends together. i've known bb since 1970 and donald trump for a long time. these are two strong, strong leaders who together can really help bring about peace in the middle east. it was thrilling for me to hear from the president of the united states that iran will not, under any circumstances, develop nuclear weapons. look, barack obama told me the same thing, but he broke his promise. he had me in the oval office and he made me that promise and he didn't carry it out. i am confident that president trump and benjamin netanyahu together will prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons, and i think the prospects for real peace in the middle east including saudi arabia increase when israel and the united states work together. netanyahu is 100% correct. as soon as they saw daylight, as soon as hamas saw daylight between the biden admini

, what's interesting to me is that no one is willing to defend the policies of the biden administration or of netanyahu is what did biden do to the people of gaza? and so on some level, i think this is a coping mechanism for people who understand the depravity and immorality of what they were silent about for over a year, and it's a way to shield from their own moral and political failures, and the fact that they can't treat palestinians with empathy because of what they signed on to or were complicit with. the second thing i'll say is that this is a moment in which, like democrats really need to be looking in the mirror around questions of elite condescension. i don't think palestine is a unique to this democratic elite sneered and condescended to voters who were concerned that biden was too old to be to run for president. they condescended to voters who thought the cost of living was too high. they condescended to voters who were concerned about gaza. and this is all part of a pattern in which democrat democratic elites don't listen to voters, don't listen to their own members of their party, and the

want to count and show you a uh, a recommendation of what president biden shared about a conversation with is really prime minister netanyahu. this is joe biden speaking . i said, be, you can't be carpet bombing these communities. and he said to me, well, you did it, you carpet bumper when you dropped the nuclear weapon. you killed thousands of innocent people because you had to in order to win a war. but many americans don't remember dropping the bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki or many of the other outragious things this country is done. but does that, does that mean that in the, in the fact that we're not necessarily introspective about some of the crimes, inhumane crimes we have done or others have done that. we can't still have a north star, you know, towards something that is much more humane and just and fair, particularly in the case of guidance, or, let's see what i think it has to do with, you know, what kind of values do you want to privilege. if your things are bible, if you think um the expansion of follow a collective power individually, power, if those are your main goals, then everything is justified in the s

both the house and the senate to have conversations with benjamin netanyahu, given some of the rocky relationship in the past between the biden administration and netanyahu. >> lauren, thank you so much, as always, john. >> with us now is congressman tim burchett, a republican from tennessee. congressman, thank you so much for being with us this morning. how much would you be willing to pay for gaza? >> well, i think what the president is saying is, first of all, you've got bomb disposal that has to be taken care of. america has some of the best bomb disposal privateers in the world. our construction engineers are the best. our electricians are the best. i think we could get in there and rebuild that and maybe offer those folks there, uh, a little better life currently. right now, some of them don't have water. and the reason they don't have water is because the terrorists dig up the they take the pipes and turn them into missiles and shoot them back at israel. that's a known fact. so i think a lot of things need to happen. i think what president trump is saying, it's not going to be an american territory. i believe he's sayi

netanyahu. one question, after four years of biden, was a surreal to see a president address a world leader butorrect name? >> is a fire hazard, somebody reporters dealing with the israeli press, you've got to throw some elbows. it was fun and trump did to press conferences this week with world leaders, such a change from the driver of the biden white house. >> very active. >> speaking us, benjamin netanyahu,. >> bless you. [laughter] thank you a few months back, netanyahu gave trump a golden beeper as a reminder of the time israel blew up terrorists with the beepers. remember that? >> i'm hoping because it's cold it doesn't work. [laughter] but trump would love it, it will fit in with the toilets and everything in the bathroom, everything is called. >> golden age of america, a golden beeper. >> he just looked at it, looks like it's time to take gaza. [laughter] >> imagine getting blown up with technology from the 80s. talk about a blast from the past. [laughter] good night, everybody. [laughter] elon musk going up wasteful spending in washington but after weeks of training their fire on the co

trump has been upset with for congratulating neta nyahu for congratulating joe netanyahu for congratulating joe bidenfriendly relationship that they before but he has been had before but he has been boasting that his 7and relationship great position and relationship great leaders, trump, pioneer putin ih eeeeiee thie ie hetfeettettw �*after �*the but 7 7b7u7t 7774317177 but will try to etbbet he witt tft' te rebfitei "" " ”" " and build a campaign in is a great 7 is a great statesman israel is a great statesman especially in the us. a very interesting perspeetive _ us. a very interesting perspective in - us. a very interesting perspective in terms i us. a very interesting l perspective in terms of us. a very interesting - perspective in terms of the between the prime relationship between the prime minister and president trump minister and president tromeeee e eee ee ee ,., e as we are talking we are and as we are talking we are explaining to viewers what we are looking at, the we are looking at. the imaeeswee ee eee e e eeeeee receiving live from gaza, are receiving live from gaza, this is people this

he did initially because biden just decided to let netanyahu do whatever he wanted to do, which is one of the reasons i think couple of harris ended up losing. um, trump got this deal done that had been on the table for a year. he looked like the one who was going to possibly change us policy. now we have something even worse of jordan and egypt said they told bite. and we're not taking anybody from gaza. but now trump has 10 let go of this idea of ethnic cleansing. that's what it is sending a $2000000.00 people out of the country that the us ought to be rebuilding and claiming the us is going to buy gaza, which doesn't make any sense. so sometimes i think trump is his own worst enemy. he started out and in this regard, looking like the hero, but now he's looking like he's even worse than biden, which is quite a feat. well, it, yeah, i mean they, they might take on and, and, and i, i want to be generous. i mean, we, traditionally, we have the 100 days, right? okay. my take on this on the gods and situation is a, this is my idea. do you have a better one? well, there are a lot of better

netanyahu later today. the former ambassador to israel what do numbers 15 and 1,283 have in common? the number of days it took trump and bidenime minister netanyahu at the white house. says it all. a final word on your hopes for this meeting and the future? >> i really hope that we can see president trump really just show the american people and israeli people how strong the relationship is. another thing i want to bring up is turkey hosted hamas leaders last week, erdogan. turkey is a nato ally and we need president trump not only to show we support israel and we need to bring all the hostages home, including the american citizens, including the babies, but also that president trump is going to retake a leadership role on the global stage in nato and tell all these other countries we won't tolerate you cozying up to hamas, treating their terrorists in your hospitals. we need to really support israel in their war and make sure we bring all the hostages home. >> dana: we look forward to hearing what you do in the future. thanks for joining us today. we'll stay in touch. >> john: all right, dana. just minutes the senate financ

that meeting is going to go, as donald trump has been critical of netanyahu since netanyahu congratulated president bidenef international correspondent keir simmons. they're supposed to be starting negotiations for the second round of the cease fire. but netanyahu is back here in the states. so what's happening over there? keir. >> well. >> that's right. and i. >> think that meeting there in the states between prime minister. >> netanyahu and. >> president trump. is crucial, potentially pivotal for the reasons that you lay out there, katie, because prime minister netanyahu really is on a knife edge. he's trying to keep the far right inside his government. minister smotrich, for example. crucially. and yet, at the same time, he's under pressure from the families of the hostages to. >> get all. >> of the hostages out. and that won't happen until the end of the second round. the part two of this ceasefire. this fragile ceasefire. i'll just tell you, we've heard from keith siegel's daughter, chaya, just in the past hour or two, in which she described his time in in captivity with hamas. he's, of course, the

but when joe biden was president, bibi netanyahu could always in some ways play to republicans in congresse president and so forth. well, right now donald trump is president. and if donald trump leans on bibi netanyahu for whatever set of reasons, then bibi netanyahu has nowhere else to go. he can't do an end run around him to the democrats or anybody else. so a lot depends, quite honestly, on what the new administration decides to do, how hard they're prepared to press and for what. and again, you mentioned the iran issue. there's also the issue of the saudi arabia. if the administration wants to normalize relations between israel and saudi arabia, to build on the abraham accords from mr. trump's first term, then again, there might be more pressure on the israeli prime minister than he's than he's used to. so, you know, a lot of things in motion here, jose. yeah. and there was movement between israel and saudi arabia before the 7th of october for some progress. but richard haass, it's always a pleasure to see you. i thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> and breaking j

this is what cbs put out and it had to do with netanyahu, the prime minister of israel and their dealings with the biden administration. watch. >> it seems that prime minister netanyahu is not listening. >> well, bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. >> but it seems that prime minister netanyahu is not listening. >> we're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the united states to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end. >> dana: could you explain to people what might have happened here and what you are looking for when asking for a transcript? >> thanks, great to be with you. hard to believe it has been two weeks since inauguration. we have been hard at work on the fcc on the executive orders bringing down the cost of living. on this particular one, usually get out there talking about fcc investigations but leaks involving this on friday and over the weekend. i want to be clear about it. we ha

oval office a few minutes ago, i had a cons to prime minister netanyahu about what we have eaten over the last couple months both president bidennd president trump want credit for the hostage and cease-fire deal. i asked netanyahu who he gist more credit to. he has been dealing intimately with both of them. and he said that he credits trump and his team for sending a strong envoy with a strong message for getting things done. he said that he is glad the trump team is here. now, bret? >> bret: you know, peter, as you get ready for this q&a. obviously it's a big moment, iran, the focus. the maximum pressure, executive order. however, there is a question about whether bibi netanyahu israeli prime minister wants to go forward now that iran is vulnerable and take out those nuclear sites or whether the white house and president trump wants to seek a big deal with iran. i assume that's going to probably come up tonight. >> peter: yes. the prime minister and the president in the oval office, which was today with normal u.s. press pool and a visiting israeli press pool. they were both getting questions whether or not trump is going to d

netanyahu's first visit but the first visit of a foreign leader. a very important statement. even before october 7th, 2023, the bidene minister netanyahu at arm's length and not only is the trump administration bringing netanyahu in making a statement first foreign leader to come but so much -- it's not to say the u.s. and israeli government can never have disagreements. they have throughout history. the question is whether those disagreements get aired out in public. when they get aired out in public it creates an opening for israel's enemies to widen that gap. i have this i the -- i think the trump administration is doing a good job. making it clear they won't put political conditions on arms munitions transferred. three big issues for the meeting. one, how to extend the hostage and cease-fire deal and how to get more hostages home. what that actually means for the future of gaza. who will be in charge of gads yeah? that's one bucket. the second bucket is what to do about iran. israel wants action. they want to take action against iran. they need help from the united states to do so. the third bucket is saudi norm

. >> reporter: prime minister netanyahu, we have heard joe biden and donald trump take credit for thels. who do you think deserves more credit? >> prime minister netanyahu: i think president trump, with great force and powerful leadership. i appreciate it. he sent a very good emissary. he has helped a lot. and, you know, i'll just tell you, i'm happy that they are here. and i'm sure the president is happy that they are here. and i would think that is about enough. >> reporter: president trump, prime minister, what about israeli hostage held in iraq? >> prime minister netanyahu: what about the israeli press taking a press conference in israel and not in washington? [overlapping questions] >> reporter: prime minister netanyahu, do you support going forward with this deal and getting all the hostages out?

. >> president trump, prime minister netanyahu we've heard joe biden and donald trump take credit for hostage and ceasefire deals who do you think deserves more credit? >> i think president trump had a great force, leadership to this effort i appreciate it. he sent -- helped it along, and, you know, i am telling you i am happy they are here i am sure the president is happy that they are here. >>of course that was witkoff what does phase two look like would you say to quitaires right now in the middle of negotiating between hamas and israel? >> well, prime minister netanyahu after my and special envoy meeting another round of go, working with, our partners to qataris working with partners egyptians, at the end of the day, hamas cannot be allowed to continue to terrorize the region, the american people need to think about hamas right in the same senate as al-qaeda and isis worst terrorist groups in the world we couldn't allow isisis al-qaeda on our border govern our space attack us again hamas saying right now as we speak there will be more kt october 7 if they are allowed to survive we

>> reporter: prime minister netanyahu, we have heard joe biden and donald trump take credit for the hostage and cease-fire deals. who do you think deserves more credit? >> prime minister netanyahu: i think president trump, with great force and powerful leadership. i appreciate it. he sent a very good emissary. he has helped a lot. and, you know, i'll just tell you, i'm happy that they are here. and i'm sure the president is happy that they are here. and i would think that is about enough. >> reporter: president trump, prime minister, what about israeli hostage held in iraq? >> prime minister netanyahu: what about the israeli press taking a press conference in israel and not in washington?

peter doocy asked benjamin netanyahu, you know, you got donald trump and joe biden bothing in yaghtd d who do you give credit to netanyahu said trump. at the earlier spray earlier in the day peter was not far from the resolute desk and he said okay, and it was another one of those wide ranging trump interviews with the press. peter said okay, so, mr. president, you are talking about getting rid of the department of education. so, why have you nominated a secretary for the department of education by the name of linda mcmahon who used to run sba? that was the question. here's what the president said. >> i told linda, linda, i hope you do a great job and put yourself out of a job. i want her to put herself out of a job. education department. so we're ranked number 40 out of 40 schools. right? we're ranked number one in cost per pupil. spend more per pupil than any other country in the world. we are ranked at the bottom of the list. we are ranked very badly. what i want to do is let the states run schools. i believe strongly in school choice but in addition to that, i want the states to r

netanyahu. this deal was available for months. the bidenm was working on it, and -- and he wouldn't come to the table often. there are -- this is such a complicated issue, but i am worried -- i think this is a fragile deal, as we all understand, and so, you know, i have a lot of faith in the trump team and in all of the people working on this to put serious pressure on him to see it through. i think what we've seen is that diplomacy and political agreement is the only way to get all of the hostages home and, you know, we're -- we're one of the lucky to one, but there remain five american citizens and dozens of other hostages who still need to come home. >> the remains of some of those americans wouldn't come through until phase three and phase two, we know, edan ill der, a soldier who is a u.s. citizen, the deal would have to continue to work to bring him home, seg sagui chen. i emphasize that. when we talk about deals and diplomacy, these are lives at risk and if the deal doesn't continue to stay in place, they may be at risk. >> these are

netanyahu about the future. who better than donald trump if it were joe biden? an end run around the administration. donald trump is the administration. there's no end run anymore available to the israeli government, almost like only richard nixon could go to china. >> right. donald trump thinking, yeah. >> donald trump has an opportunity, given how he's perceived in israel, to have an honest conversation with israel and say, hey, we have your back. we want you always to be a secure, prosperous jewish democracy. but here's what you have to do, and that that's his opportunity. it's not to be found in resettling gazans and jordan. it's to be found in making the west bank and ultimately gaza a place of opportunity for palestinians if they if they're willing to live peacefully with israel. >> so let's talk about china, since you brought it up, the issue with china and tariffs maybe not going to go away as quickly and easily as the situation with both canada and mexico seem to it. >> well, in part, there's structural reasons to have tariffs against china, as you and e

course of the last several years has been really some, um, broader concern between the netanyahu administration and the bidentration in terms of them not always seeing eye to eye. obviously, washington looks really different now. and i think that that relationship between johnson and netanyahu is really one to keep a close eye on, given the fact that congress has so much stake in the ability to get additional aid to israel. and we've seen that over and over again, johnson being very committed to that priority. >> all right, lauren fox kevin liptak, thank you both. more news when we come back. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you returns february 15th on cnn. >> i had the worst dream last night. you were in a car crash, and the kids and i were on our own. >> that's awful. >> my brother was saying he got life insurance from ethos, and he got $2 million in coverage, all online. >> life insurance made easy. check your price today at ethos. com. >> if you have generalized myasthenia gravis, picture what life could look like with a subcutaneous injection that takes about 30 to 90s. for one thing, could it m

um, and so, you know, the biden administration, i think, gave netanyahu much, much of what he wanted,ncluding something like $25 billion of arms. um, and i anticipate the trump administration is going to be even more kind of operating in israeli and netanyahu's interests in terms of giving him a free hand in the west bank. uh, you know, that's certainly the indication we're hearing from trump administration potential appointees. >> as it pertains to the cease fire deal. we're now entering or close to entering the second phase of the deal between israel and hamas. um, is there volatility that you see? >> well, you know, on the far right, on the right of netanyahu, they've said that once the 42 day ceasefire, six week ceasefire expires, they want to go back to war. um, so, you know, he is reliant. netanyahu is reliant on the far right for his majority in the israeli knesset, the parliament. that said, um, even if you know, the opposition parties have said that they would be prepared to support netanyahu to maintain his majority, even if the far right pulled out because the ceasefire con

course, after donald trump had lost to joe biden, um, barak ravid, who now is with axios but longtime chronicler of the israeli government and of benjamin netanyahu, he quoted trump as saying this, quote, i haven't spoken to him since, trump said of the former israeli prime minister. f him. the first person to congratulate biden was bibi, and not only did he congratulate him, he did it on tape. so what has netanyahu done to try to rebuild his relationship with donald trump? and what are the pitfalls for netanyahu? >> yeah, i don't think there's any need to rebuild the relationship. i think donald trump, at the end of the last election to biden, um, was frustrated with the i think that was a reflection of of of of of that the prime minister of israel, regardless of who it is, is always one of the first to congratulate a newly elected president of united states due to the unique relationship between the two countries. so i wouldn't read too much into that. it is clear that donald trump has changed the paradigm regarding the middle east and israel. we were told for many decades, ever since 1948, that israel could not have peace with its arab neighbo

essentially, the political map around is real in a way in which the president biden and his team kept issuing caution. so right now netanyahu isn't it is an extremely strong position, even with a president, trump, and you have to understand beneath all of this, you know, momentary, you know, uh colorado, re between netanyahu and truck is a told them before, didn't like each other. they were both essentially challenging each other's egos and whatnot. and now when you sort of see how the relationship is a ball, donald trump is on the rise. maybe not yahoo is on the rise. they're both using each other at this moment and joining forces, but it didn't used to be that way. and i think in part is because you have to face the fact to some degree that netanyahu is done well against many of us perceive rivals. i should say that he has not wiped out the moss. he has not reach many of the strategic objectives in gaza, but may be primary. donald trump is going to help him do that by d, populating gaza and be occupied westbank now and is really sees just forced more than 26000 palestinians to flee their homes. children are unable to go t

netanyahu. we have heard joe biden and donald trump take credit for the hostage and ceasefire deal. who do you think deserves more credit? >> i think president trump added, great force and powerful leadership to this effort. i appreciate it. he sent a very good emissary. he's helped it along. and you know, i'll just tell you, i'm happy that they're here. and i'm sure the president is happy that they're here. and i would think that's about enough. >> president trump prime minister, what about elizabeth? talk of the israeli hostages held. >> in iran. what about the israeli press taking a press conference in israel and not in washington? >> we would love to take a press conference with president trump. a few more questions. prime minister netanyahu, do you support going forward with this deal and getting all the hostages out? >> i support getting all the hostages out and meeting all our war goals. can you do that? that include destroying hamas's military and governing capabilities and making sure that gaza never poses a threat to israel again? >> are you willing? are you willing. >> al

. >> we have heard joe biden and donald trump take reddit for the hostage and cease-fire deal. who do you think deserves more credit? pm netanyahu: i think president trump added great force and powerful leadership to this effort. i appreciate it. he sent a very good emissary. he's helped it along, and you know, i'll just tell you, i'm happy that they're here and i'm sure the president is happy that they're here. and i think that's about enough. >> [indiscernible] pm netanyahu: what about the israeli press taking a press conference in israel, not in washington? >> we would love to take a press conference. >> do you support going forward with this deal and getting all the hostages out? pm netanyahu: i support getting all the hostages out. and meeting all our war goals that include destroying hamas's military and governing capabilities and making sure that gaza never poses a threat to israel. all three. >> [indiscernible] pres. trump: one at a time. >> do you agree with trump's vision of getting all the hostages back home, even if it means to end the war? pm netanyahu: well, i'm not sure that you articulate correctly what the presi

netanyahu was no fan. of that. biden blinken duo. but what is he going to let trump do over there?istic? it's been a real slap. >> in the face to the palestinian americans, i think, who trusted. >> trump to. >> say, i can handle. this without making any concessions. >> and when you talk about concessions. >> of land, that's. >> where things get riled, right? all the way up. and hamas is not only watching. >> hamas is at the table and trump. >> forgets that. so what's happening in gaza right now? >> it's evolving day by day. i think trump. >> if i had. >> to. be in. >> his brain right now, i think i have an accurate read of where his head is at. >> on this. >> he's taking it day by day because he's not. quite sure. >> yeah. >> and that's the administration has is as injured. they're trying to. put out fires everywhere with the promise of being this great savior. but can they do it. >> without creating greater. >> tensions where they don't need. >> them right now? >> well. >> it's hard to put out a fire with a match in your hand. lauren, lita and reena shah, thank you both for being

but could trump pushing netanyahu to accept a ceasefire in gaza, something biden seemed unable or unwillingf him trying to distinguish himself from biden? and could it potentially backfire and trump just feel the, you know, pressure, if you will, from israel and its allies and lobbyists in washington that forces him to change course? >> sure. i would say. >> for donald. >> trump, he has actually a very strong personal. incentive to ending this war. >> a resumption. >> of the war would be an albatross around his neck like it was for biden. gaza is biden's legacy now. renewed fighting would suck the oxygen out of washington. d.c. it would detract from more pressing domestic and foreign issues. and regardless of what one thinks of trump's often outlandish agenda, this would detract from his ability to actually see that agenda through. and like you mentioned, you know, joe biden didn't really use any of this leverage that the united states has. but trump, just like biden, just like any us president, has leverage if he's willing to use it, american weapons and military aid have enabled this war.

correspondent bill whitaker asked the vice president why israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was not listening to the biden administration. now, in a preview clip that ran on cbs's face the nation sunday morning, harris was shown answering like this. >> the work. >> that we have done. >> has resulted in a. >> number of movements. in that region by israel that were very much prompted by, or. a result of many. >> things. >> including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. >> but during 60 minutes airing, harris gave this answer to the same question. >> we are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the united states to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end. >> now, cbs news explained the discrepancy by saying they had merely run two different parts from the same longer answer, and that is indeed what the transcript revealed. now, cbs news did not post the transcript at the time, but they did turn it over to the fcc this week. and the fcc released the transcript to the public yesterday. but that is far from what donald trump alleged happened. >> they took the ans

during the news conference our own peter doocy asked netanyahu the following question. >> we have heard joe biden donald trump take credit for the hostage and cease-fire deal. who do you think deserves more credit? >> i think president trump added great force and powerful leadership to this effort. i appreciate it. he sent a very good emissary. he has helped along. >> salvo in the oval office before the news conference. own gaza and dismantling all the unexploded ordinance. rebuild it, guys. >> brian: lucas, no doubt they are in a situation where they have to make a decision. netanyahu says there is no way hamas will stay in charge. michael waltz says that the trump administration position is there's no way hamas stays in charge. but, if you have seen the hostage takeover, they are still the number one presence in the area. they are the ones still with the guns. >> lucas: that's right. we saw those hamas soldiers kidded with out with brand new uniforms, weapons. hamas still a force in gaza. also, just a few days ago when trump was talking about leveling tariffs on mexico and canada you saw a big

so, absolutely, netanyahu is not in the commanding position that he was under biden. trump is really gaining the upper hand. >> yeah, but certainly his plan on gaza is raising more questions about the the palatability of normalizing relations between saudi arabia and israel. we will have to leave it there. paul salem, thank you so much for speaking to us. really appreciate it. >> thank you sir. >> all right. when we come back, new details on the upheaval in the u.s. government as donald trump's administration shakes up washington. stay with us cookbooks. >> corporate fat cats. swindling socialites. >> doped up. >> cyclists, and yes, more crooked politicians. i have a feeling we won't. >> be running out of those. >> anytime soon. >> a new season of. >> united states. >> of. scandal with jake tapper. >> march 9th on cnn. >> life. diabetes. >> there's no slowing down. >> each day is a unique. >> blend of people to see and things to do. that's why you choose glucerna to help manage blood sugar response uniquely designed with carb steady glucerna. bring on the day. >> grea

netanyahu on that. and it's expected to be a higher level of support for potential further annexations there than president biden was ever willing to tolerate. so that could be something there. and of course, we may get more indications as well about more potential weapons shipments to come. that shipment that docked today in ashdod big port on the on the coast there, it's the mk 84 bombs that were being offloaded. these big, big 2,000 pound bombs that president biden had decided to put a hold on because of the level of destruction, and that those bombs were wreaking in gaza. subsequent to that, you saw israel using smaller, more precision weapons. that was a commitment they gave, but they really wanted those big 2,000 pound bombs back in their arsenal. those are being offloaded and shipped to idf bases right now. this morning. >> just the shipment of those bombs sends a big message. nic robertson, thank you so much. now, the israel-hamas war is not the only one that president trump is trying to end. he's also made it clear he wants russia's war with ukraine finished, too. >> yes, but europeans, according to the

remember, netanyahu cannot run to a republican conference, a congress like he did in the past when he disagreed with bidenleverage. the real question is, will he use it to push netanyahu ultimately for this grand normalization deal? >> marc polymeropoulos, thank you. coming up on chris jansing reports, new dnc vice chair david hogg joins me. how the party will craft its new platform and sell it to voters. >> you know, it's smart, enjoying a fresh gourmet meal at home that. >> you didn't have. >> to cook. upgrade your plate with factor. chef crafted with factor. chef crafted dietitian approved. ready in leo!
