this is really about bibi netanyahu. this isn't about israel writ large it is about a leader who has shown again and again that this union between israel and the united states, he is partisan. he has tried to politicize it he has at every turn, tried to make it seem as if israel and the united states are not actually united. i just disagree with that. i mean, the only anna says, the vast majority of israelis, including the vast majority of people who despise bibi netanyahu in his own cabinet. support going into rafah by personalizing this about bibi, it makes it sound like below to be netanyahu is the guy who wants to go into rafah. no one else does. in fact, this is the generally agreed upon consensus strategy. there is an election tomorrow, bibi netanyahu would get re-elected know. >> but i think they would go into rafah, whoever >> question. right. wait a minute. the question is that bibi netanyahu is not popular israel let's talk about rafah. i mean, you've got chuck schumer, the democratic leader in the senate, call

this is bibi's resolution. bibi decided. provoke biden until the us will not — how do you call this? a vote ? a vote against. they abstained. abstained, yeah. this is what bibi wanted to do. so you feel more alone here? ifeel much more alone in here, yes, ifeel much more alone. israelis overwhelmingly support the war and the way it's being fought. many don't believe gazans are starving. but a big majority is fed up with prime minister netanyahu, who they believe puts his own career ahead of their security. israel is fighting this war against the background of a severe domestic political crisis, a growing sense of international isolation and significant damage to its most important alliance with the united states. now, israel's wars are usually short and sharp, and mostly victorious. so far, this war is not. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. meanwhile, the bbc has spoken to a senior member of hamas, who's currently in qatar. they have said that they are ready to release all the hostages, including soldiers, if there is a sol

this is bibi's resolution. bibi decided... - how do you call this? a vote ? a vote against. they abstained. abstained, yeah. this is what bibi wanted to do. so you feel more alone here? i feel much more alone in here, yes, i feel much more alone. _ israelis overwhelmingly support the war and the way it's being fought. many don't believe gazans are starving. but a big majority is fed up with prime minister netanyahu, who they believe puts his own career ahead of their security. israel is fighting this war against the background of a severe domestic political crisis, a growing sense of international isolation and significant damage to its most important alliance with the united states. now, israel's wars are usually short and sharp, and mostly victorious. so far, this war is not. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. the bbc�*s director general says the corporation will launch its biggest ever consultation process next year on the future of the bbc so that the public can drive the debate. tim davie said it was right to ask fundam

he's been reluctant to confront bibi netanyahu. but what we've learned over the last, what 56 months is gentle persuasion isn't working the united states needs to carve out an independent path and is it time is going to have to, if it wants to stop settlements or wants to prevent israel from using force indiscriminately. the united states may have to think of about limits on economic aid of sorts or military aid. it's an uncomfortable place to be, but i would argue that is where israeli policy has brought us thank you for having this discussion in public richard haas, pleasure. have you always next on gps last week's terror attack in moscow has unleashed a barrage of here is a lot who was actually behind it and why they did it will dig through all of them when you come back >> spatial colombia the final flight premieres next sunday at nine and cnn >> this is not just another e glass because it evolves with you adapt it is the first e glass made just for you this is not just design because you're ii class. it it recognizes, understa

what happened, which is unprecedented, but the fact that in the united states, despite the protest of bibie minister, benny hans, an opposition politician came to meet at the white house and discuss conditions, so to speak, what will happen, when bibi is overthrown, this is also a rather unprecedented, so to speak , decision, good allies, you know, eh... yes, obama really didn’t like netanyahu, in general, the democratic party after bill clinton really doesn’t like benjamin netanyahu , all these right-wingers , for various reasons , by the way, obama directly called not to vote for netanyahu, but if you love the us democratic party, if you love kennedy, remember kennedy, by the way, he is very popular, for some reason he was with the left in israel, don’t vote for netanya, that happened, but for an opposition politician from some hostile country, so to speak, well, from... there will also be a big question for us: who do we recognize as president, i think we need to act very delicately here, that we are considering this issue, to receive delegations here, just like washington , most likely

bibi netanyahu, god knows, is not perfect. the idea of if you're critical of israel policy, you're anti-zionist or anti-israeli, that's nonsense. we have to be straight up about it and not give the trumps or anybody else ownership of that argument. i think what bibi netanyahu is doing, what the israeli government is doing, and we talked about it on this show, is bad for israel and the u.s. and israel relationship. people who care for israel, we have the obligation to call them out on it. >> it's what we've talked about before, jonathan lemire. i often quote "the wall street journal" editorial page positively. you look at this headline, democrats turn against israel. you read the body of it, and, again, it's a very dumbed down, simplified approach. there are those of us who have supported israel for our entire lives. i would say adult lives. but this goes back to me being a young kid and being in church. we have always supported israel. the suggestion that you have to support bibi netanyahu, you have to support policies that de

and i think there has to be some question about bibi's own motivations here. and so for biden, i think he also has to factor that in. and obviously joe biden is a very he's a very shrewd political analyst and so well, i think that is yes, to think about that, he's thinking about that as well. >> i think that's a good point. i was a bit perplexed though, by the president's comments because he said he would withhold military weapons so that they wouldn't have the iron dome. but then he also said he will never not support israel. and i think the president has to be very, very careful understand that the politics of this particularly with younger democratic voters leaning more progressive. but you also don't want to run the risk of ostracizing or isolating rather, those independent leaning republicans, even moderate republicans, you may say, look, we don't want donald trump were looking at voting for joe biden, but we strongly believe the us should stand firmly with israel. the president runs risk of losing some of that support if he appears to be a israel's abili

this time, bibi has outsmarted outmaneuvered and outplayed biden. but the problem goes beyond bibi. israel is in trauma the october 7 attacks shook the country to the core. the sense of safety that israel was supposed to confer on its people has been shattered as a result, many israelis are sanctioning policies that they will regret deeply. president biden as a true friend of israel, has the credibility to tell them the truth publicly and directly perhaps in an address to the israeli knesset as foreign policy expert, richard haass has suggested about 30,000 people have now died in gaza, a large portion of them, children about one in four people are on the brink of famine and almost all are dependent on food aid. as of late december, the water supply is 7% of what it was before the war. most of its hospitals no longer function a visiting oxford based surgeon, dr. nick maynard, described the condition at a hospital in gaza. one of the few that are partially functioning quote we saw mainly a lot of children coming in with the most appalling injuries, many of whom you knew were going to

a pariah >> reporter: republican leaders slamming the criticism of netanyahu, who is also known as bibi, the democratically elected leader of a close u.s. ally. >> the democratic party doesn't have an anti-bibi problem, it has an anti-israel problem. >> it's just plain wrong for an american leader to play such a divisive role in israeli politics, while our closest ally in the region is in an existential battle for its very survival. >> reporter: netanyahu has not responded to schumer's comments meanwhile, president biden has criticized israel's military operations as over the top and privately complained of netanyahu, quote, giving him hell, sources told nbc news last month lester >> garrett haake, thank you. >>> now to the increasingly desperate situation in haiti, where hundreds of americans are among those struggling to get out as the violence and chaos grows. gabe gutierrez is following it all from the neighboring dominican republic >> reporter: tonight, a catastrophe is unfolding in haiti each day, people running for their lives. the gang violence in port-au-prince now trapping ame

maria: he certainly has, been criticizecriticized you bibi neu himself.e have to go where hamas leadership is. we no they're had in rafah. what is president biden saying don't go into raff rafah and da cease fire when the israelis say they know where the hamas officials are. >> what president biden is doing, he's listening to the political left in his party who are saying that they want to have a cease fire, they want it to stop, they don't want israel to complete the job. let's be -- what kills me in this argument is nobody goes back to what happened on octobe. if you were living in israel and saw and heard what happened there, why would you not want to eliminate the forces that were so brutally attacking the israelis and that's what they have to do in rafah. i'm sure they will give warning. i'm sure they will do it as carefully and strategically as they possibly can but let's remember, hamas shields themselves behind isn't people in hospitals and schools and if hair not eliminated now they'll come back because it's in their constitution to want to destr

so i would take a much harder line on bibi and people need to recognize that the bibi netanyahu was way to the right of donald trump. i mean, he's got people in his cabinet who want to annex gaza. he's got people who wanted to expand settlements and i just think that needs to be an awareness of how extreme he is you said earlier today, you wonder, you want to see the president do something bold. call for a permanent ceasefire. what do you think the chances are of that happening? >> why? i think he is getting there? i mean, he ended vice president have used the word ceasefire, a ceasefire has to be with the release of all hostages. and i think we can get that deal, but the disagreement has been that bibi netanyahu was insistent on six weeks the hamas is saying, while we don't want after ramadan, bibi to start killing palestinian kids again, i think if the president said to william burns, the cia, who is negotiating for us that it's got to be a permanent ceasefire, but conditional on the release it's all hostages. we can get that done and that would be good for the hostages. it would be g

that is impossible with the present configuration of the israeli leadership, including bibi netanyahu and his allies and government. and so if you think about this, what is going to happen after the war, then you do see that there is a foreign policy aim here, because frankly they speaking both on the palestinian side and the israeli side, there are no partners for the united states to actually negotiate for a two-state solution. and a better, a betterment of the situation there. so that's the first thing i'd say. the second thing i would say is that we haven't talked about the fact that bibi netanyahu was the prime administer, the leader during one of the most egregious breaches of israel's security in the modern era and this isn't only about the prosecution of the war, this is also about what he presided over. that is what people are angry about in israel. >> yeah, i think i mean, there clearly was a failure there i would go back to one thing you said about biden saying this was a good speech, didn't kirby come out the very next day or that same day and say, wait a minute, he wasn't

bibi is going to use this in his own political calculus.id bar nia has arrived for the cease-fire talks. the one thing that will put all of this political distraction between the white house, chuck schumer and bibi, put that to rest, would be a cease-fire agreement in which six weeks of no fighting, israelis rush in, hostages come home, it's important. certainly the white house wants this to succeed. we'll see how much leeway nets ya hue has given to him. look to doha right now. this is really ground zero. >> all right. we'll be watching that for sure. mark, we hit on the two violent hot spots overseas. let's turn for our last moments about the threat of violence here at home. we opened the show with donald trump talking about bloodbath, using dark ominous rhetoric to describe what would happen in america where he to lose. how concerned are you about the threat during the rest of this campaign and after actually? >> absolutely. i think the threat to the united states is from within. you know, donald trump has broken all norms. you can't say

. >> thank you.bo >> leader mcconnell said today on the floor the democrats don't have is an anti-bibiey have an anti-israel problem. [inaudible] basically what you said about netanyahu on the floor to a form of election interference. >> let me say this, i care deeply aboutsrnd its long-term future. when you make the issue partisan, you hurt the cause of helping israel. [inaudible conversations] >> yes, yes. >> is it true that prime minister netanyahu asked to address the democratic caucus, and you declined -- [inaudible] >> as i said is, when you partit the cause of israel. [inaudible conversations] >> but this is the accusation, foreign election.rfering in a [inaudible] any distance between the united states and and a close ally -- [inaudible] that's what people are saying. >> well, let me say this, i gav this speech out of a real love for israel, and if you read the speech, we called only for there to be a election after the hostilities had a declined, after hamas was defeated. [inaudible conversations] >> why haven't you called for a move to menendez considering how abhorrent you t

i remember chuck schumer has been aligned with bibi netanyahu for many years. in fact, when barack obama tried to get the iran nuclear deal get approval from congress. chuck schumer aligned himself with netanyahu, opposing obama's efforts here, because it schumer has long been an israel hawk within his own party, but there has been growing anger within the democratic party within his caucus for the israel to do more to provide humanitarian relief along the gaza strip to essentially pull back from some of the more aggressive efforts as part of this military sorry, campaign. and after chuck schumer called for netanyahu to essentially step aside for new elections, calling him an obstacle to peace, democrats who have aligned themselves with schumer applauded what he said, while republicans pushed back >> i think the current prime minister has two. perhaps we think some of his approaches especially on humanitarian aid, which i think has to be done more robustly than he has incurred so far. i think there are reasons that israelis might want a different leader, and i

why did the democrats hate bibi netanyahu? >> i think they hate israel.he democrat party hates israel. th party, if you remember when many israeli representatives, including netanyahu came to the country trying -- begging at that time president obama, please don't make the iran nuclear deal, which is a disaster and was a saster. i ended it. unfortunately they did not do anything with the ending of it. i ended it and would have hadade with iran. he would have been good for everybody and no nuclear weapons. they are close to getting a nuclear weapon right now. once they have tha negotiation. a much more difficult negotiation. i really believe they hate israel. of -- don't forget. when you see the palestinian marches, i'm amazed at how many people are in thoseguys like schumer see that. to him it's about -- he was always pro-israel. he's very anti-israel now. any jewish person that for democrats hates their religion. they hate everything about israel. they should be ashamed of themselves. host: that was the former president earlier this week. the new york ti

bibi heard it and canceled his meetings in washington.e difference between the united nations being a place of norms and standards setting and bilateral relationships between two countries being where the real action happens, where real change is made. so that's what bibiis reacting to, the united states is no longer doing the we support israel no matter what, given the threats that israel has faced on the world stage. but on the flip side, bibi is also facing a hard reality back at home where even his own war cabinet is looking to remove him and make a change to his own war policy. so this is this extreme reaction of pulling back a delegation from the united states is not really about the u.s. relationship, it's about bibi's sending signals to people in his own country that he is still a strong and competent leader. >> we are out of time. but it will be interesting to see if biden keeps moving in this direction and takes advice and actually puts some meat on those bones. trita parsi, nayyera haq, thank you so much. >>> there is a reason

. >> why do the democrats hate bibi netanyahu? >> i actually think they hate israel. >> yes. >> i don't think they hate him. i think they hate israel. when you see the palestinian marches, even i -- i'm amazed how many people are in those marches. and guys like schumer see that and to him it is votes. i think it is votes more than anything else because he was always pro-israel. he's very anti-israel now. any jewish person that votes for democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves. >> so understandably that drew an immediate response from all over the ceo of the anti-defamation league insisting that, quote, accusing jews of hating their religion because they might vote for a particular party is defamatory and patently false. chuck schumer said making israel a partisan issue only hurts israel and the u.s.-israeli relationship. i want to bring in garrett haake, jesse kirsch in ontario, ohio, and steve kornacki at the big board and stewart stevens with the lincoln project

i would think that applies to bibi netanyahu and israel.ne is opened up the conversation in part because for decades he has been such a staunch supporter of israel and has legitimized it. what is interesting, he is of a generation, not that different from joe biden. i expect this from younger americans but, you know, the fact that he's doing this is really interesting and, yes, the republicans are ganging up on it and bibi netanyahu, but the israelis are making a big, mig mistake if they reject this. you can't have a u.s./israeli relationship without essentially americans across the political spectrum supporting israel. and i worry that the shortsightedness of israel's policy and long after joe biden and chuck schumer are gone from the political scene, i worry about the 20 and 30-year-olds today who are going to be the 40 and 50-year-olds who are going to be making american foreign policy, if they grow up unsympathetic to israel, if they see israel as essentially bibi netanyahu's israel, that will be a very different american relationship w

idea that the united states can be pro israel without being pro bb israel can be a close ally, but bibi netanyahu might not be a close ally. >> important points you're making. i want to turn to your brand new book, age of revolutions, in which you write this. and i'm quoting you now in the book you're right when you consider the multitude of dramatic changes in the world today, we are living through one of the most revolution missionary ages in history, lay that out for us for read. >> what think about what we've gone through. >> we're living through it. so w don't realize it. but in the last 30 or 40 years, we have gone through a massive expansion of globalization, where something like two-and-a-half billion, 3 billion people have joined the the world trading system. that's all of china, all of india, moos of latin america, large parts of africa suddenly all become by. they're all playing the same game. now, you look at the technology world. we've created a brand new digital world. i mean, think about what the world looked like before that, we are now living in a world where the bigges

of israel new election, get him out, sherrod brown senator there saying he would equate hamas and bibihuck schumer's speech was good speech, of course, resulting in israelis canceling delegate trip to united states access the situation for us now. >> well maria that is pretty good laydown of the situation the waigs that israel, whatever secretary austin says where, close maybe true we have not proven to be a reliable partner allowed u.n. to pass a resolution for fire without tying to release of hostages you can't go to rafah without -- the idf isn't going into rafah without a implementable plan a detailed plan to try to minimize casualty they understand what is at stake series warriors, so unfortunately what this biden administration has done listened to loudest voices on radical left pro hamas wing of party abandoned or allies very difficult given hamas power in negotiations, hamas why negotiate with israels you have americans on your side not on you, you tell hamas to lie down weapons return hostages senior leaders handed over fighting stops tomorrow, with israelis to do opposite con

he just said essentially that bibi netanyahu should take a walk. howard: right. message if you were to talk to bibinetanyahu? >> i think you have to finish it up and do it quickly and get back to the world of peace. we need peace in the world. i would, that would be one of the two things i'd do very quickly. i would settle with ukraine and russia, i will get them to settle that war very quickly, even before i become president, as a president-elect. it'll give me the power 45 you need to get -- the power that you need to get it settled. i wouldn't do it before taking office if that's possible -- i would do it before taking office if that's possible, and i think it is. don't forget, i did the abraham aa cords. howard: i'm well aware. >> i bet you would have had iran in the abraham accords. that's a big statement, but i would have had them all in. they to be the abraham accords which are phenomenal. anybody else would have gotten the nobel prize. if obama or biden or anybody on the other side did the abraham accords, they would have 15 nobel prizes, okay? i get noth

and now this issue of rafah, whether or not you really need to go through and i think bibi netanyahu, almost once this fight, he has a very extreme right-wing coalition. >> it he seems to be >> kind of zealously defending the hardline position and doing all this. but by doing this, what he is doing is he's wrecking the trust that has built over decades between israel and the united states. and what he's doing is creating an idea that the united states can be pro israel without being pro bb. israel can be a close ally, but bibi netanyahu might not be a close ally. >> important points you're making. i want to turn to your brand new book, age of revolutions, in which you write this. and i'm quoting you now in the book you're right when you consider the multitude of dramatic changes in the world today, we are living through one of the most revolutionary ages in history, lay that out for us very what think about what we've gone through. >> we are living through it so w don't realize it. but in the last 30 or 40 years, we have gone through a massive expansion of globalization where somethin

netanyahu enemy should be all on same team meet with bibi netanyahu political opponent gantz. >> i thinkorbed a lot of frustration, from the administration, you know, in these meetings, whenever was he here but i tell you what trouble me about readings, the reporter is reporting one of them many things that the vice president kamala harris jake sullivan national security adviser said -- basically holding up saudi israel peace deal for ilz to make more concessions about not going into rafah what does it mean not go into rafah means not to finish the job not to destroy hamas, they want israel to stop i remember, old enough to remember what we called it humanitarian pause to get hostages back we no longer call it humanitarian pause a temporary cease-fire calling it a cease-fire is using the language of hamas, hamas is unwilling to negotiator because they are a terrorist group so this is to me just -- unconscionable hold up the opportunity for historic peace between israel and saudi as carrot in order to get israel not to defend themselves. maria: head of rush's space agency said yesterday m

we're seeing republicans rally around bibi netanyahu and suggest that that was inappropriate. it comes at a time where future funding for israel is certainly in the balance, that hasn't been voted on. a supplemental package hasn't been voted on in congress, and of course there's the white house end of it all concerned about the level of aggression israel has towards gaza at this stage of the conflict. there's a lot up in the air right now as it relates to the future of u.s. support for israel during this period of time and this interface with netanyahu was a big part of that. >> peter, is there any possibility as we talk about what chuck schumer asked for that the president would get behind a call for new elections in israel? what is the thinking inside the white house right now, especially considering that the prime minister has not gotten an invitation yet to the white house as normally israeli leaders do? >> yeah, i mean, look, the white house is saying that they're not going to take a position on whether there should be new elections or not. it's not for them to do that. a

resolve, was provoked by the collective west in order to contain our country, we are grateful to our bibiriends for their balanced position on this topic , which is the position they invariably take at the un when relevant issues are discussed there. we discussed our bilateral relations countries, they have a long history, as already said, they did not begin with the establishment of diplomatic relations, during the declaration of independence in the nineties , over the years, your country has supported the namibian cause and... relations between the two countries will be strengthened not only with from an economic point of view, but also from a political point of view, because we want to resume political consultations between ministries. we will develop all the necessary modalities, the frequency of such consultations, which will be held alternately in two capitals, in moscow in wendhoek. regarding the international agenda, we discussed and reviewed current problems that are observed in various regions of the world, in particular the palestinian issue. children, women are being killed in

bibi netanyahu a strong ally.the morning of march -- or april 1st or whatever date it is now. talk about the difference. >> even before this, we were seeing a generational chasm emerge in the united states on the question of israel. it has accelerated since october 7th. in which older people have a vision of israel as a liberal democracy, a country created in the ashes of the holocaust, and feel like it is america's obligation to support that. but younger people have known no other israeli prime minister other than benjamin netanyahu. they've seen the israeli government that does not want to create a palestinian state, that wants to permanently occupy millions of people who lack the most basic human rights. that is what's creating this crisis for joe biden. because young americans are moving in drove, at tremendous speed, just like on issues like gay marriage, a tremendous speed in the direction of supporting the palestinian cause of freedom and not supporting israel. you know where else it is happening? it is hap

to the point where this kind of thing is needed. everything, well, in fact, they will blame it on bibias nothing to fight with, and i think that within the framework of those contacts, because of which, in fact, the former foreign minister got burned china, which were conducted between, so to speak, china there, iran, israel there and so on, these very negotiations were conducted, i think that benny hans was precisely at the center of this whole process, i don’t i know, well, at the level of calculation, at the level of calculation based on knowledge of open sources, most likely... investment rating, economics, through specific stories, we can reach people, we often talk about money, serious amounts, in russia the signal is clear and clear. is russian industry capable of replacing foreign suppliers? all resources must be mobilized. give me the recipe in general , how to achieve what you have achieved? do you feel like you're on top of the world? got up, shook himself off and went. is russia ready to change? does evolution occur in any structure? it's easy to get caught up in the facts

didn't you hear bibi said: "if we pray from the bottom of our hearts, it will surely be answered and it will rain. our story begins with namek. a letter written by a village girl named narges to a rain man. narges writes in his letter to the rain man to roztai. they come to save their village from drought. namek takes the form of a pigeon and goes through a series of dangers to be able to deliver nargis's letter to the mehrabuni imam. the kind official asked him: namek, who sent you here? namek cleared his voice, swallowed his anger and said that he sent me here as a desert girl. he comes to the conclusion that nothing will be done by waiting and waiting, and he should not be passive, but he should take an effective step. in the end, the rain man answers a letter and it turns out that it is raining in their village. from childhood, we have to teach a series of religious concepts to children. these concepts should be in the form of stories, games, poems and stories. he taught the child. this book is written with the aim of learning the concept of communication with the imam of the tim

it's not about bibi. it's not about gantz. it's about our relationship.y graham from south carolina as the battle heats up between senate majority leader chuck schumer of new york and senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell and now lindsey graham as well after schumer called for essentially the israeli people to remove benjamin netanyahu from leadership in israel and to replace him. he has had some very vociferous push back. lindsey graham continues his speech on the floor of the united states senate. coming up, we will speak with rnc co-chair newly installed lara trump coming up next. (man) excuse me, would you mind taking a picture of us? (tony) oh, no problem. (man) thanks.

(woman) how about none? (boy) none. (man) yea none feels right. (vo) trade-in any iphone in any condition and get a new i

. >> why do the democrats hate bibi netanyahu? >> i actually think they hate israel. when you see those palestinian marches, even i'm amazed at how many people are in those marches. and guys like schumer see that, and i think it's votes more than anything else because he was always pro-israel. hae very anti-israel now. any jewish person that votes for democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about israel and should be ashamed. i think that the democrats have been very opposed to jewish people, that's true, and to israel. what you have to do is look at senator schumer. what he did with israel is a disgrace, and i think israel will probably not forget it very soon. it's a very sad situation. >> meanwhile on capitol hill yesterday senate majority leader shuck schumer condemned attacks on he and other democrats. while schumer was decidedly forceful in his push back reactions from the other side of the aisle were mixed. >> the former president's comments were utterly disgusting, and a textbook example of the kind of anti-semitism facing jews pushing the dangero

it shows that as much as president biden and his team have been pushing bibi netanyahu and his team toty dramatic move in order to get as much as possible in at this point. >> and what do we make of the call from the vice president yesterday for this immediate cease-fire and some pretty stern words for israel and the conditions they've allowed to materialize there in gaza? this feels like it's part of the process of ratchetling up. what made the biden white house go there now? >> it's unclear. one aspect could be the administration is finally fed up with bibi netanyahu and his team because they're unable to add more humanitarian assistance. it could be the uncommitted vote in the michigan primary was so high, 113,000 people or so. mane they finally felt there was a political reckoning, that they need to address what's happening in gaza. you've heard the administration talk for a long time about the need for a pause and the deal they're trying to work with hamas and israel, but they haven't used cease five. the fact that harris used cease-fire, literally the word, and you heard the reac

it's a big shot across bibi's bough. saying look. our patience isn't endless.folks here. i think it's a prelude to even the consideration of the u.s. making a break for israel. we don't want to make a break. we still want to keep our leverage. but this is about as far as we can go. >> peter barnhart, we have all, for our lifetimes, watched the american u.n. ambassador, stand for and beside israel in the united nations, at moments like these. what was your reaction to what we saw today? >> i think the biden administration is tiptoeing towards the kind of actions that it would genuinely need to take in order to try to stop the carnage, the destruction of gaza. and what it will take will be the united states to say to israel, that we will no longer provid military aid for this war, and we will no longer provide diplomatic immunity for israel in international forums. if the biden administration is not willing to take those steps, i think benjamin netanyahu will continue to defy the united states. but we're seeing for the first time, this really is an historic shift

bibi netanyahu has still not been received in the white house.ief rival who is going to be received. he'll have discussions with the administration officials. i see this as the beginning of a process that may see a splintering of the israeli war cabinet. i think the prospect of elections in israel that would probably displace netanyahu is increasing. in the polls now, gantz, who will meet with kamala harris today, is far ahead of netanyahu. if the race were held tomorrow, gantz would win it. keep your eyes on that. then the political repercussions back in israel. basically, we're at a moment where the u.s. is going to play a much more significant role, both on the ground with aid and in these meetings with people like gantz. >> david, please weigh in for us on two things. the fact the u.s. had to resort, though, to the air lifts for supplies, doesn't that also point to a weakness and inability to push netanyahu to provide more safety to get more supplies in via the ground? secondly, speak about the urgency the u.s. has. it was on display from the

bibi netanyahu should take a walk. >> after the house voted to overwhelmingly ban tiktok if it doesn't cut ties with china based parent company. trump told fox news why he no longer favors a government ban that he pushed as president. citings the free exchange of ideas. >> there is a danger to banning it, you know with freedom of speech. i found facebook to be extremely dishonest. if you ban tiktok, if you take it away, we have a new concept, but if you take it away, those people are going to go into facebook. and facebook, in my opinion was worse than tiktok by a lot. >> trump who recently met with philanthropist jeff didn't know the billionaire owns a stake in tiktok's parent firm. >> if you are going to do to to tiktok, do it to facebook. and what can you do is let them sell tiktok. let them sell it in the market. maybe get a good price. maybe not get a good price. i don't know. take it away from china control. but i think china controls facebook, also. because they have tremendous power in that company. >> a day at mar-a-lago offer as reminder that donald trump is constantly juggli

what bibi, smotrich and ben gvir are doing will divide and alienate the country. dangerous. a stronger signal need to be sent to the leaders of this government including articulating a plan for the day after the war. norm's thread ends like this. as president biden said it is essential to do whatever could be done to minimize civilian casualties and collateral damage including providing and distributing food and water and to have a plan ready to govern after the war. that includes working to find a governing force among palestinians neither corrupt or ineffective and commit to peaceful coexistence. pushing bibi to do these things is correct and necessary making it clear there will be construction workers fences if he fails to heed this advice and acts belligerently to reject it. joining us now is norm. he is an ameritas scholar. he is an ameritas scholar. >>> what really set me off was the decision to expand settlements immediately after. we have been seeing the comments by chuck schumer and president biden calling on the israeli government to do just what you wer

let's challenge bibi on everything that he is doing.hallenge him on the lack of aid going into gaza. let's challenge him on the use of large munitions in crowded civilian areas. let's challenge him that there is no plan for palestinians. >> ask basic questions. why did it take you so long to help your people? why when you found out in 2018 where hamas' funding came from, you and donald trump did nothing about it? why did you send your guy to doha, and the qataris said, should we couldn't to send hundreds of millions to hamas to prop them up, you said yes. that'd be good questions. >> i don't like the idea that, you know, the republicans are playing this cynical game after not approving the legislation, that they're quote, unquote pro-israel now. but if they do, the democrats should challenge netanyahu across the board. again, what he is doing is against the law. we've talked about this here. it's not only bad for israel. it is going to be ruinous, i fear, for the u.s./israeli relationship. that is in neither country's self-interest. >>

. >> when the president of the united states talks about bibi and not hamas, we're missing the boat here. >> reporter: the crisis in the middle east a main focus on the campaign trail. both biden and donald trump rallied in georgia on saturday with the former president using his stump to sound off on his successor. >> when you think of it, inflation wouldn't have happened. the attack on israel wouldn't have happened. the attack on ukraine with russia, russia/ukraine would have never happened. >> reporter: president biden says defense of israel is still critical, but that the administration is also working on bringing cease-fire negotiators back to the table to try to resurrect a deal that would allow more aid in and more hostages out. jericka? >> skyler henry at the white house, thank you. >>> well tonight, new alarm for haiti. the u.s. military overnight airlifted nonessential embassy personnel out of the country. it's the latest sign of trouble as the caribbean nation descends into gang control. cbs' cristian benavides has the latest. >> reporter: good evening. a state of emergency tha

you can say so, comrades bibi, yes, but still in the middle east, maybe even then mecca and medina willred europe? well, good european. i ’m not part, all, all of northern africa is considered, now northern africa has become europe, that ’s what is considered by whom, i’m not talking about what was planned, that is, northern africa, that is, libya is europe. yes, in 1942 they thought so, for example, but no, well, vladimirich, it’s not like it ’s geographically, either, not after all, let’s still talk geographically, otherwise it’s possible count everything, in fact, then the ottoman empire considers everything its own, well, america, the ottoman empire became europe, so it is trying to mine, the ottoman empire is also europe, so it was europe, the ottoman empire was a european country in the 18-19th century, it was part of the number of great european powers, i don’t want to offend you, of course, but in general , at that time it was probably comparable in size to europe. modern european culture denies these romantics, modern european culture denies traditional culture in general, then

what is the likelihood even at this point considering who is in charge their prime minister bibi netanyahuis conservative cabinet. >> well i think this is an incredibly difficult and very important moment. there is an opportunity if bibi netanyahu will truly get serious about this of achieving at least a temporary cease- fire, working towards returning of the hostages, and of course looking down the road to a place where we can have two states in the middle east, israel and palestine. people who live on the gaza strip, have an opportunity for self determination, and for building their own life. i think that the president is doing everything that he can in this moment to pull the table, and also understand that a cease-fire is not real if hamas continues to attack israeli citizens. so it is a very fraught moment, and i'm hopeful that we will have good news in the days ahead. so israel is really one of the only countries in the world in which we provide unconditional aid to. there is an aid package sitting in congress that has not yet passed because of the holdup in congress, 14 billion doll

so the president has some cards to play when he has that conversation with bibi. i suspect what will happen is that the conversation will slow the israeli move toward a massive overwhelming air driven campaign over rafah. i think that is unacceptable and really what hurt israel more than it would help israel. but a land campaign that uses special forces in the lead is relatively tight going into rafah. that is probably still going to happen in some way. final thought, the key here and you mentioned it already is creating safe passage out of rafah for this over a million civilians that are crowded in to it, all the more reason to get aid flowing north, that will pull the gazans to the north, open up the field to the israelis. it won't happen in the next 48 hours. this is something that will build and there will be time for these conversations between the president and the prime minister. >> richard engel, admiral, thanks to you both. >>> reproductive rights, president biden's big push to guarantee the right to fertility treatments and abortion rights across america

. >> i told him, bibi, and don't repeat this, but you and i are going to have a come to jesus meeting, just -- just. >> hot mic. oh, that was good. [ laughter ] >> seth: you know biden is in a good mood when he's like, "the entire world heard that? well, [ bleep ] it." [ laughter ] "any mic is a hot mic when i'm spittin', son!" [ laughter ] but more importantly, you're going to have a come to jesus meeting with netanyahu now? why didn't you have that meeting five months ago? was jesus not answering your calls? [ laughter ] you should have left a message saying, "call me back right away. it's about your hometown." [ laughter ] what are you waiting for, the next impromptu press conference inside a combination taco bell/pizza hut? [ laughter ] as we've said on this show before, the only way out of this horrific situation is an immediate lasting cease-fire and the safe return of all hostages. and in a follow-up interview, biden said that's what he wants too. >> you were caught on a hot mic after your state of the union address talking to secretary of state antony blinken and senator micha
