bearing in mind that benny gantz joined only at the opinions. ng of the war to play the responsible aduu of the war to play the responsible adult in a government full of far right, ideology that is very dangerous, including people who think it is a good idea to reoccupy gaza long term and even building jewish settlements. so he along with some others, in order to bring some rational thinking into the government. there was no love lost, actually, before the last election benny gantz and his party said they want, because of netanyahu corruption, don't want to share power. but the october seven attacks changed everything. but now the frictions are obvious in how they conduct the future of the nation with the palestinian side, how to deal with releasing hostages, humanitarian aid. and i think benny gantz and his colleagues will probably lead to the israeli government one day. probably lead to the israeli covernment one da . ., ., ,., government one day. from that point, what is it for— government one day. from that point, what is it for washington _

he's lost like half of his vote share in the polls, and most of it has gone to benny gantz, this centriste're going to have less extreme politics. gantz joined the government to moderate it and steer the country during a time of emergency. if the elections were held today, he would win them by a significant margin, and so undoubtedly the biden administration wants to talk to the guy who might be the next prime minister of israel and netanyahu wants to prevent gantz from looking like the next prime minister of israel. so you have a lot of these tensions going on underneath the surface of this meeting? >> does it signal anything about what might be to come for israel? i know you mentioned that gantz would win an election if there were one held. does it appear that netanyahu's coalition might be fracturing to soon? arguing in foreign affairs that he needs to go, that he is hopelessly conflicted, that he acquiesces to the biden administration, saying yes, there's going to be a two-state solution and loses the far right coalition that's keeping him in office or he, you know, bends to the far r

and benny gantz, benny gantz would win. that gantz would then go on to be prime minister. and certainly although they won't say this in public, benny gantz would seem to be someone that the biden administration would feel that it could do business with on a much more easier basis than it can with netanyahu for a start ganzares position on a two-state solution, although somewhat undefined, is certainly not as obdurate, lee opposed to a palestinian state as prime minister, netanyahu. so there is a bit of a subplot going on here will there be any breakthroughs from this trip or indeed gantz's subsequent trip to the uk, which is where he's going to next i think that's very unlikely. rosemary >> thanks to elliott gotkine joining us live from london ukraine's president says defense forces have shot down seven russian military aircraft in the past week alone, and 15 over the month of february. volodymyr zelenskyy says, russia is launching aerial attacks meant to kill. as ukraine's defense forces struggle with a significant shortage tilray. he's pleading for us military aid. now.

the israeli prime minister, but also many of his allies in government who viewed this visit by benny gantz has somewhat of a breach of protocol, but of course it's important to keep in mind that gantz is effectively netanyahu's chief political rival, even as they are both in this kind of uneasy marriage of police political convenience within the war cabinet and israeli government officials saying that gantz's not officially representing israel along the during this visit, the israeli ambassador in washington was instructed not to facilitate this visit, a sign of the disapproval of this visit, but of course, all of this spotlights the possibility, the alternative that gone through represents not only here in israel, but also in the united states, where us officials have been growing increasingly frustrated with the current israeli prime minister. and this is certainly an opportunity for them to get a look at what israel's next prime minister, which he would be if elections were held today, might look like very, very important. jeremy diamond in tel aviv, mj lee at the white house important

and when perhaps benny gantz might be in charge and leading israel as its prime minister. i suppose from the united states, his perspective and they obviously won't say this publicly. there may be a sense that benny gantz has a man that they can do business with more so and more easily than with prime minister netanyahu or who for a start his position on the two-state solution is not as as set in stone if you like, in terms of being against a two-state solution, as prime minister, netanyahu's. so it's a bit more than i suppose, just a friendly visit to meet with israel's most important ally. will there be any breakthroughs from this trip? i very much whereas marine elliot gotkine joining us live from london. many thanks. >> and stored akamai >> significant show of support in moscow as hundreds of mourners flocked to the grave site, kremlin critic alexey navalny for a third straight day a live update deal or no deal. >> those back. >> but this time that deal or no deal island. >> you're in it for the group by year in it for yourself only had a when do you or no deal dealer,

meanwhile, israeli war cabinet member benny gantz will visit the white house monday to meet with us vice president kamala harris. they're expected to discuss a humanitarian truce as well as reducing palestinian civilian casualties and increasing deliveries of aid. inernational calls are intensifiying for accountability for recent violence, including the killing of more than 100 people at an aid convoy on thursday as well as the killing of at least 11 people — including two health care workers — in an israeli raid in the city of rafah — that's according to gaza's health ministry. the bbc�*s diplomatic correspondent paul adams reports from jerusalem. how were so many people injured? were they shot or crushed in a desperate stampede? at gaza's shifa hospital, the un says there's evidence of both. this hospital is treating more than 200 people that were injured. we have seen people with gunshot wounds. you have seen amputees and we have seen children as young as 12. jihad is haunted by what he saw when the convoy arrived on thursday morning.

what is benny gantz hoping to achieve from this visit?priority in terms of the substance of these discussions will be the humanitarian catastrophe that is unfolding and has been unfolding on the ground in gaza. the fact is this is not the prime minister of israel, this is a longtime rival of his. it is ruffling feathers and what is already a crisis ridden situation in israelieadership. we will get to that in a second. the first point is about what is going on on the ground. you heard kamala harris talking about the need for what they cease-fire, using that in thee context of this cease-fire negotiation. the pressure is ramping up from the biden administration for this deal to be hammered out, for the war to stop for the time being, so they can alleviate this desperate situation. but is also emerging is what the americans want the israelis to do, not just to allow d into gaza, but to get it distributed. one of the factors here is last month, israel bombed some of the police who secure the convoys. israel says part of hamas's network of con

benny gantz met kamala harris one day after she had given the strongest rebuke yet that we had heardons in gaza, describing them as inhumane, saying there is a humanitarian catastrophe, that people are starving. what we understand from the white house is that ms harris spoke to benny gantz, a member of the israeli war cabinet, about the need to have a humanitarian plan before israel conducts any military operation in rafah. israel says it plans to do this, and that is where you have hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the fighting elsewhere, currently living in makeshift tents in very difficult conditions. there has also been this call from the us to have more aid in general entering the gaza strip. we saw over the past few days that a measure of the us's frustration with the state of affairs, we have had these warnings from the un about famine being almost inevitable in gaza and even the us began tojoin airlifting operations to parachute food supplies into gaza because they are so desperately needed, especially in the north. we heard about the world health organization, you

us vice president kamala harris will meet with israeli war cabinet member benny gantz at the white housen monday as washington seeks to reach a deal for a temporary ceasefire and increase the flow of aid to gaza. a us official said today the framework for a deal that would establish a six—week ceasefire in gaza is in place with israel's agreement and depends on hamas agreeing to release hostages. but the violence continues. at least 13 palestinians, including a medic, are reported to have been killed by an israeli air strike near a hospital in rafah. the idf said it had carried out a precision strike in the area of the hospital that targeted militants from the islamichhad group. and a united nations team visiting gaza's biggest hospital has found that many palestinans who were injured as lorries were delivering aid on thursday, were wounded by gunshots. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams has the latest. how were so many people injured? were they shot or crushed in a desperate stampede at gaza's shifa hospital? the un says there's evidence of both. this hospital is treating more than

steven, what could benny gantz�*s visit mean for us—israel relations?cant, and _ prime minister? i think is quite significant, and not _ prime minister? i think is quite. significant, and not unexpected. benny gantz is in an awkward position in terms of israeli domestic politics because he is a member of the opposition but also on the war cabinet, and therefore intimately involved in the conduct of the war by israel. there might well be elections coming up in israel later this year. it is unclear if that will happen, but it is a possibility, and to prayerfor those elections benny gantz has to begin to differentiate himself from benjamin netanyahu�*s policies, and this is a brilliant way to do it. basically to skip town, come to washington and to meet with the vice president. that will be big news in israel and will tend to validate him as a kind of statesman and leadership figure who is independent from netanyahu and represents a different path forward. i from netanyahu and represents a different path forward.— different path forward. i said that the co

the white house says kemal harris spoke to benny gantz about the need for a credible humanitarian planion in rafah on the border with egypt, which is where there are hundreds of thousands displaced people staying. she also pushed in general for people staying. she also pushed in generalfor a big increase in aid going into gaza, we are told. this, after we have had repeated warnings from the un about the risk of mass starvation. it all adds really to the international pressure on those truce talks, which are currently going on in egypt, but without an israeli delegation present. you have hamas officials meeting there with egyptian mediators and us involvement as well and we are told that israel is being kept up—to—date on developments and it has already agreed to the framework of a deal that would see dozens of its remaining hostages in gaza being released. at the clock is ticking, if you like. we are approaching the islamic holy month of ramadan and thatis islamic holy month of ramadan and that is a time when it is expected that is a time when it is expected that tensions will rise her

benny gantz, his war cabinet colleague and political rival, has been on a freelance diplomatic tour oftern capitals. and then there are the families of the hostages captured on october the 7th who maintain their calls for some kind of deal. israeli public sentiment and wish is to have both the release of the hostages but at the same time, they would like the idf to finish what they started, and believing they can destroy hamas. at the same time, it is important to remember there is a growing sentiment within israeli society that wants to see the back of netanyahu. and what about hamas? this was the group back in 2019. their forces have been shattered since then, but not utterly defeated. and for them, survival would be seen as a victory. they want a permanent ceasefire before anything else is then negotiated. there have been no guarantees that even if hamas were to hand over those hostages, that all 7,000 administrative detainees would be released that have been arrested since the 7th of october. and there is no guarantee being offered from the israeli side about the amount of aid they

we know that prime minister netanyahu is upset that benny gantz is here.raeli ambassador, should not accompany him to the meetings. we know that prime minister netanyahu time and time again has very publicly rebuffed the president of the united states, so i do think it is very appropriate that the vice president meet with benny gantz and it's also going to be essential that the president and the vice president make it clear that the united states is going to follow through and there will be consequences for not allowing more aid to get in because people are literally starving to death. >> yeah, the situation there is so horrific. i think a lot of americans are fixated on aid to the extent where there are parts of president biden's base that are saying they will not vote for him. you are now seeing donald trump try to take advantage of that. this is a story from the new york times. trump has really said almost nothing about what he would do differently in gaza. they are discussing among his aides away to drive the palestinian wedge deeper into the democrati

as of now, benny gantz has indicated he intends to co—ordinate messaging with netanyahu that all reportse that netanyahu is dissatisfied with the turn of events here and has stated, i believe, that there is only one prime minister, i think that was the quote from the office. will it build ridge though between israel and the us at the moment?— between israel and the us at the moment? the motivation is to do repair _ the moment? the motivation is to do repair work. _ the moment? the motivation is to do repair work. we _ the moment? the motivation is to do repair work. we have - the moment? the motivation is to do repair work. we have now seen sentiments in the united states, especially from parts of the democratic party to which president biden is connected to and is dependent upon common notably for re— election later this year, indicating increasing frustration with the us position in regards to israel and the continued offensive in gaza. and that the united states is lacking influence of the ability to shape a direct what israel does in regard to minimising civilian casualties. the unde

vice president kamala harris will meet with israeli war cabinet minister benny gantz. he's a netanyahu rival, but he has taken part in his war cabinet. this after she called specific civically for an immediate ceasefire in gaza over the weekend, the vice president also called on israel to do more amid the humanitarian crisis in gaza. after us carried out its first airdrop of aid into gaza, cnn, white house correspondent arlette seinz, joining me now we've got this new information that the the prime minister's office is telling him faster not to show up to meetings today. where's this coming from? what is it all mean >> well, sara vice president kamala harris will meet a little bit later this afternoon with israeli war cabinet minister benny gantz, who also notably is one of netanyahu's a lead political rival in israel. now, typically in these types of meetings, the ambassador, the israeli ambassador to the us, might participate in these talks, but our colleague alex marquardt is reporting that netanyahu's office has instructed the israeli ambassador not to participate

meanwhile, israeli war cabinet minister benny gantz is in the u.s. what is being described as an unauthorized trip to hold talks with vice president harris, tony blinken, and other top officials. he is seen as a rival to netanyahu. all of this comes as the official death toll in gaza has topped 30,500. for more we go to rafah for an update from akram al-satarri, the gaza-based journalist. your brother was at the aid convoy went israeli soldiers opened fire. what did he explain to you happened, what is now being called the flour massacre, for the flo people wereu coming to get to make breadr?

benny gantz about. but also on the heel both of these talks, these hostage talks. now this has been something that has been a work in progress for weeks. and now we're learning from a senior administration official that israel has quote, basically accepted the frameworks of a deal. now, this is a deal that would include a six-week cease that would allow for the release of hostages of those who are considered vulnerable. that includes women, the elderly, as well as the wounded and then it would also allow for a surge of aid into gaza in the course of those six weeks, according to these administration officials, there would be more talks to try to work out some of the sticky points. like for example their release of hostages were also idf members. so all of this is ongoing. these talks, of course, very, very sensitive, but this isn't meeting where the vice president can also appeal directly to the israeli war cabinet member. and not only talk about the now, but also the future, that's something that the vice president has been very involved in when it comes to the da

we understand that harris is set to hold a meeting with benny gantz, a member of israel's war cabinetime rival of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, what should we read into it? i think it's an effort by benny gantz to try to begin to move politically against benjamin netanyahu. netanyahu has his own difficult political history with american presidents. in 2015, benjamin netanyahu arranged with congressional republicans to a joint address to congress without telling the white house first in order to undermine support for the iran nuclear deal. in some ways you might see this as payback that the biden team is welcoming the person who is likely to be netanyahu's primary political rival to the white house, and it could be the beginning of a break in israeli politics. the biden team is saying, "look, we have tools to play your politics too". does it mean they're trying to put pressure on benjamin netanyahu? the us, i mean. the us has been trying to put pressure on netanyahu, and netanyahu has said he is not going to do what the us want him to do. there's been lots of pressure already abou

but no question that benny gantz arriving in washington amid all of this at a very, very key moment, he is a member of the war cabinet. he is also of course, a rival of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's. and he's also been a key proponents in pushing for the importance of securing the release of the hostages whereas the impression here is that israeli prime minister netanyahu is more focused on destroying hamas, putting that above the goal of releasing the hostages. so certainly these meetings are happening at a critical time. the question is whether when he returns to israel, if he can influence the direction of those talks and whether or not there can actually be a hostage deal struck by the end of this week >> and jeremy, the un aid agency in gaza is now accusing israel, of course, in staffers into making false it's confessions about ties to hamas. what are you learning about this >> all right. i think we're having some technical issues with jeremy's ifb, their jeremy diamond. thank you so much for that report for us from tel-aviv boris yeah. let's dig >> into the issue

they invited to washington benny gantz who is a war cabinet minister but also one of the leaders to the opposition to benjamin netanyahu and while the white house is saying that he was invited as part of a delegation of senior israeli officials to talk about the war in gaza and the aftermath, analysts say that it's kind of an endorsement to benny gantz, the possible replacement of benjamin netanyahu as israel's prime minister. and the proof of that is that at least according to israeli media, netanyahu is furious about that invitation. frances? >> claudio, thank you. >>> now to breaking news in the race for the white house. nikki haley has notched her first win in the fight for the nomination. nbc news projects she has won all 19 delegates in the washington, d.c. republican primary. nbc's brie jackson joins us from d.c. hi, brie. haley made election history with this win. >> good morning, frances. this makes nikki haley the first woman to ever win a republican primary, just over 2,000 washington republicans cast ballots in this primary and they tend to be more moderate voters, making th

"i never thought he would starve to death, " al ca far none says. please forgive me, my son. on sunday, vice president kamala harris bluntly called out israel for not doing enough to ease what she called a humanitarian catastrophe and urged both sides to accept a deal. >> and given the immense scale of suffering in gaza, there must be an immediate cease-fire for at least the next six weeks.

. >> a survey found that if an election were held now, benny gantz' party would win 34 seats whereasat were to happen, netanyahu would be out as prime minister, and benny gantz could be the new prime minister. interesting, because he was, benny gantz was just here last week in defiance of netanyahu. >> right. look, i think, obviously, you always take polls with a certain grain of salt. >> oh, yeah. >> but there's been a pattern to these polls that gives you some reason to see that a political reckoning is going to take place. it is impossible in israel to have had october 7, it's impossible not to think that that won't produce a political reckoning, and my guess is we'll see a different israeli government at some point. when that election will take place, it's hard to predict that at this point. because i think it's tied up very much with the character of this war and timing of this war. >> i asked the president a week ago today whether he, if invited to address the knesset, the israeli parliament, would he go, and he flat out said yes. would that be a wise thing to do. >> right now,

if you ask prime minister netanyahu i think he is not looking forward to this meeting, but benny gantz the war cabinet minister on very good terms with washington, is probably looking more forward to talking with him. washington is really treating the government is two different parts, in a way. netanyahu, the prime minister, who they very much would like to see go, they very much would like to see go, they have said that up publicly, at least chuck schumer did, and that war cabinet minister benny gantz who represents a more moderate wing of the government who is more likely to compromise when it comes to the ceasefire and who in general is seen as a better option for the united states. it will be interesting to see what will come out of these meetings but as yolande also mentioned we know there will be negotiations in qatar because it ceasefire is best reached through direct or indirect negotiations and not through a un security council resolution. , ., , , not through a un security council resolution-— resolution. obviously this is a difficult line _ resolution. obviously this is a d

tomorrow in washington, she and national security advisor jake sullivan will meet with benny gantz, amin netanyahu's war cabinet. a meeting, politico reports, represent a sign of widening cracks in israel's government. this comes as the united states faces growing pressure to act after the idf reportedly opened fire on a crowd of gazans lining up at a food convoy last week, which led to the deaths of more than 100 people. you'll remember that yesterday, the u.s. military airdropped 66 pallets of food into gaza, enough to feed about 38,000 people. aid groups called that, quote, completely insufficient for gaza's 2 million residents, many of whom are facing starvation. joining me now, david ignatius, foreign affairs columnist with the washington post and an msnbc contributor. david, as always, thank you very much for coming to sunday show. are you optimistic that the cease-fire deal will happen? >> so, the phrase "guarded optimism" is probably about right. it's true, as karine jean pierre said, there's a deal on the table. the fervent hope that the biden administration is that it can be

he thinks there is only one prime minister, and i think he probably is a little concerned that benny gantz rival in the not too distant future is going to the white house for talks with the american administration. mr netanyahu, by the way, we are told has a case of the flu and won't be chairing tomorrow evening's meeting of the security cabinet. but whether these political, internal political shenanigans, result in some kind of challenge to mr netanyahu, well, i think that is probably a story for another day. we think that is probably a story for another day-— think that is probably a story for another day. we are also hearing from a us _ another day. we are also hearing from a us official _ another day. we are also hearing from a us official in _ another day. we are also hearing from a us official in the - another day. we are also hearing from a us official in the past - another day. we are also hearing| from a us official in the past hour orso from a us official in the past hour or so saying that a framework for the deal that would establish a six—week ceasefire in gaza is in place. the

i want to ask you about the meeting with vice president kamala harris and benny gantz.ake of it? how much influence do you think the vice president can have now on israeli policy? well, i think the meeting is quite significant. the fact that he came to the us was welcomed by the biden administration, the second most senior level. there is no way that she would have taken that meeting without the blessing of the president. he is in the war cabinet but he also was the prime minister of israel and is looked to as someone who might succeed beating netanyahu in new elections. 0n the face of it was a big deal. the fact that she is out there, on the airways, calling for a pause in fighting, not a permanent ceasefire, but at least a temporary ceasefire, speaks directly to me that the us strategy is to put a lot of pressure on the israeli government. i think properly. to do this. but there are some issues. i'm sure you will asked me about them. it issues. i'm sure you will asked me about them.— me about them. it was interesting _ me about them. it was interesting to - me about t

benny gantz�*s visit has been criticised by some in netanyahu's government who say any commitments hee from jerusualem, and i should warn you that his report contains some distressing images. a grief so calamitous it is deaf to the rumours of peace. this is the 150th day of war, and each day, the images of the grieving and of the dead are beamed to the world. this woman was sheltering with 45 family members, when a rocket struck. seven were killed, including two children. a ceasefire might save the living. it won't bring back the dead. nawaf zre'y has lived and worked among the dead since the war began. he is a shrouder. he cleans and wraps the dead for burial — hundreds of them. "yes, but their families don't yet know they're dead." 30,000 deaths have created many widows and orphans. near rafah, they stay together, in a camp of the widows, within a larger camp. new structures are being built. the un estimates 3,000 women have been widowed by war. zahra al—ras, aged 26, has four children. one of them is disabled. another suffered severe burns. her husband, mahmoud, was killed when he
