that's according to foreign minister said a lot for speaking off to a summit with the gulf cooperation council, in saudi arabia. to chew a 3 a booth for the choose the dissipated, so on the wake hears regime, preemptively demands weapons from its western patrons. and in a masterly manner is already beyond the bounds of decency and diplomatic communications. secondly, it is a direct provocation to involve the west in military operations. as of course, seen western politicians understand these risks. i must say that in europe, especially in its northern part grove, thereupon leticia and were ready to sponsor this madness for the sake of satisfying their own ambitions. but serious countries in the you certainly understand the unacceptability of such scenarios. and we have also heard signs of reasonable assessments of such scenarios from washington. you're washington has agreed to send an e $700000000.00 military aid package to ukraine. that includes advanced us made rocket launches. the him as a multiple rocket launcher system is capable of hitting targets up to 300 kilometer the way, but only if

he's going to meet with the gulf cooperation council. those are all the gulf states. you're right.nger on it. he's going to get an ear full about where iran is and what a threat they are to them. they need the united states involved in all of this. certainly the israelis will give him an earful as well as they have been doing. they haven't been silent since president biden came in. they disagreed with the nuclear deal like the arabs do. they've been warning them about the pending threat of where the iranians are and they're moving towards this nuclear weapon. yes. >> martha: meanwhile, the iranians are building tunnels and trying to make it more difficult to get at the work that they're doing. thanks very much, general. >> great talking to you, martha. >> general jack keane. so president biden needs to do in order to bring down gas prices. i'm going to speak with one of his top white house economic advisers, jared bernstein next. first psoriasis, then psoriatic arthritis. even walking was tough. i had to do something. i started cosentyx®. cosentyx can help you move, look, and feel

dominate really, we're told, the discussions between the president and the members of the gulf cooperation council the worry here? what are the signs of escalation in the reege thgion that we're with iran? >> israel is taking matters into its own hands. israel views iran as an existential threat and the chances of success beginning to falter, u.s. officials have said that israel is kind of intensifying this sort of shadow war of covert operations that it carries out inside iran, including targeted killings and cyberattacks. and so u.s. officials are really closely watching this for any signs of potential escalation. israel doesn't tell the united states a lot about what it is getting up to and the biden administration has so far taken a pretty hands off approach, but officials who spoke to natasha and i say that, you know, look, the more israel pushes, the shorter iran's fuse is going to get with potentially unpredictable consequences. >> and, katie bo, i want to touch on a story you're tracking this morning which is that brittney griner, wnba star, went days without speaking with her wife. she's

the president will do next month, he plans to attend and helps organize a summit of the gulf cooperation council countries. this will be broader than saudi arabia and israel. the president hopes to do a large-scale middle east diplomacy on that trip. >> jobs report much better by bus 70 80,000 jobs, that was good news. how is the biden administration talking about it? >> the biden administration eager to highlight that to showcase what they are say our strengths in the economy, that they say make it less likely than some critics are saying that the u.s. will head into a recession. at the same, time president biden is trying to make it clear to americans, that he understands the pain people are facing due to inflation, inflation and rising costs and gas and other consumer goods. the president insisting his administration is doing everything possible to try to get inflation under control. >> thank you so. much i precip that. joining me now is california congressman ted lieu, a democratic members -- also a member of the congressional gun violence prevention task force. and glad to have you. here on

the president will then travel on to saudi arabia, where he will attend the summit of the gulf cooperation council and he is expected to engage in some way with saudi's crown prince mohammed bin salman, a little over a year ago, an intelligence report showed -- ordered that operation that killed "the washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi. so far, biden has been engaging with the crown prince's father. in a statement today, white house press secretary karine jean-pierre wrote, he looks forward to this important visit to saudi arabia which has been a strategic partner of the united states for nearly eight decades. this really represents a remarkable reversal in president biden's approach to saudi arabia. officials say that the president approved this trip, after initially having some reluctance after those promises he had made as a candidate to make saudi arabia pay for the murder -- for their role in the murder of jamal khashoggi. now, this also comes as we have seen this shifting global landscape with russia's invasion of ukraine and the soaring energy prices. now, the president has said over

it's also about attending the summit of the gulf cooperation council, which is important.to discuss a range of regional issues, including counterterrorism, the threat from iran, climate change, the war in yemen. and before that he's going to israel and he's going to be speaking to israeli leaders as well as palestinian leaders about his desire to continue to support a two-state solution there in a critical part of the bou world. so there's an awful lot riding on this trip, a very important region to our national security interest and that's why the president is going. >> you say the president will meet with the crown prince, mohammed bin salman as part of wider talks. is a one-on-one meeting with the crown prince off the table? >> i think he's going to have bilateral discussions with king salman and the crown prince is part of the leadership team so clearly he will see the crown prince in the context of this summit. >> is it worth setting aside major human rights concerns in the hopes that saudi arabia will help increase oil production and lower the price of gas here at ho
