new comments from netanyahu, we come an the biden white house bypasses congress to sell more weapons to israel. what is the latest? >> reporter: paula, that's right. this is the second time in a month that the biden administration has bypassed congress, which usually has 20 days to review these kinds of weapons transfers. this time around, it's about things like fuses and charges relating to shells that the u.s. is sending to israel, because, in the words of secretary of state antony blinken, because of the urgency of israel's defensive needs, and when he held his press conference this eve evening, on saturday evening, prime minister netanyahu went out of his way to thank the united states. >> translator: i greatly value the support of the u.s. for israel. the support that was expressed last week in the u.n. security council. and the way it was expressed in the decision of the american government for the addition all suspectfully of weapons systems iffer the idf. >> reporter: and netanyahu also said that the fighting will continue probably for months, and certainly not until israel has achieved its objectives, mainly of destroying h

. >> paula reid, we covered donald trump when he was in the white house and you know well, obviously, the influence that he has on his supporters. what did you make of her saying that she has gotten threats from making this decision and she is concerned -- she didn't just mention -- she didn't mention her safety. she talked about her loved ones, people protecting her, security, saying she is concerned for their safety. >> not surprising at all. we know when former president trump uses his bully pulpit to go after you, your family, your staff, you face an enormous barrage of threats. it can be very scary. doesn't matter if you are a state official. if you are a jury foreperson. if you are a judge or a journalist. we have seen this again and again. i think the point she was making is, look, this wasn't something i volunteered to do. this is the process no matter how imperfect, this is the process in the state of maine. and now larger question that the supreme court will likely have to decide is, is this process, right, a political official in the state, is that who they thought should a
