Shockwaves Around The World were after President Biden but its invaded. And now the israeli Prime Ministers speaking out, no sin of backing down the former israeli Prime Minister enough, Tally Bennett is out front tonight. Also breaking trump on a tirade, lashing out at the judge on the same day that Stormy Daniels clashes trumps attorney in the courtroom and a surprise move, prosecutors and the hushmoney case now opting not to put former playmate Playboy Playmate Karen Mcdougal on the stand. How come . Lets go out front good evening. Im Erin Burnett Outfront tonight shockwaves President Bidens threat to stop providing weapons to israel if israel launches an invasion into rafah as Popular Center is reverberating across the globe tonight is really Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was firing back at biden after his exclusive interview with us last night a more. If we need to stand alone, we will stand alone. Ive said that if necessary. We will fight with our fingernails stand alone. No signs that netanyahu will stand down a defiance and his National Security minister waking up to new this morning and israel time posted online, hamas hearts biden with an emoji these fast, furious, emotional reactions because of this very clear statement, a commonly delivered statement from the president of the United States imagine clear that if they go into rafah, they havent gotten rafah yet. If they go into rafah im not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah to deal with the cities that deal with that problem. Its just wrong. Were not going to were not going to supply the weapons and Artillery Shells and after that, i will show you the front pages of newspapers from Around The World. Had leinz, including biden betrayal, joe bidens rafah read appends us israel relationship. Biden makes explicit threat to withhold Weapons Shipments if israel enters rafah israel fury it. Bidens threat to cut off weapons over rafah invasion, Turning Point or Breaking Point bytes, pause on weapons tests, ties to israel. And it goes on and on and on. And here in the United States, a political upheaval. Many democrats support President Biden, but republicans and some democrats are bulking aggressively at bidens warning and just listen to former President Trump at his Hush Money Trial Today Biden is doing with respect to israel is disgraceful if any jewish person voted for joe biden hes totally abandoned. Israel and nobody can as for biden and the white house, they own it. They meant what they said and theyre not trying to walk the ultimate and back i can assure you that direct and forthright nature with which he expressed himself in his insurance in an interview with erin burnett is consistent with how he has expressed himself. To Prime Minister netanyahu and israeli officials i let signs is out front live outside the white house tonight. Our let the white house doubling down on bidens extraordinary and significant warning to israel yeah. Aaron, the white house has been fielding questions on President Bidens comments to you all throughout the day. In fact, just moments ago, the very first round of questions to White House Press secretary karine jeanpierre. Were about intense pushback that has been received from the israelis, from lawmakers, republicans and some democrats up on capitol hill to President Biden congestion that he would withhold further Weapons Shipments to israel if they undergo a fool Ground Invasion of rafah. But really what officials here at the white house have been stressing throughout the day is that what President Biden said to you . Is what he has been conveyed to israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to israeli officials in price ive it for months now, it really comes as the administration has been warning and phone calls and meetings that any major invasion into rafah would not be conducted with the aid of american weapons unless theres a plan in place to ensure the safety and evacuation of the more than 1 Million People who have sought shelter there so far. Our Administration Officials still say, but they have not seen such a viable plan. Now, officials throughout the day, were not trying to walk back these comments from President Biden and they said that it should come as no surprise to the israelis as he has made clear in his private conversations that this was his intention, but certainly this is not an easy he a decision for President Biden to go public with this warning to israel today at the white house, we also heard the white house spokesperson, john kirby pushed back on those who have suggested that President Biden is trying to walk away from israel in this moment. What officials are arguing so far he has paused one shipments and its simply a hypothetical about but further shipments going forward, but all eyes will be on netanyahus next steps when it comes to rafah have President Biden will hold up the warning. The he issued in his interview with you. All right. Thank you very much. Are latin, of course, the israelis appearing that they say to be shocked and surprised, perhaps that this was me public, perhaps they did and believe he really meant it. And its clear now that he does. And there is backlash on capitol hill. Now, after this republicans and send steven some democrats unsettled, Manu Raju Is Out Front president joe biden, igniting a capitol hill firestorm with this blunt warning to israel, going to rafah. Im not supplying the weapons, prompting gop outrage, horribly bad decision. This is insane joe bidens de facto position is for a hamas victory over israel. And dividing his party between what pro democrats, im concerned that in some sense, some way it demonstrates the hamas that theyre winning the pr war. Your song in a tough the hamas and those who accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recklessly targeting palestinians in the war initiated by hamas brutal october 7 attack, the president has made clear by his actions that all us military aid is conditioned in this case, Prime Minister netanyahu has created a humanitarian disaster and he will be held accountable for that. That should not be a blank check to the netanyahu government. This will not involved in hamas in any way. Hamas is actually benefiting from the fact that the humanitarian crisis is so bad last week, biden prevented 3,500 bombs from being shipped to out of fears that it could be used in densely populated rafah a Southern Gaza city with more than 1 million palestinians . Yeah, biden says the us will still provide aid to israel and help us defense against hamas winning applause amongst some senior democrats, their goal should be to separate Palestinian People from mom. But should he be telling israel how to conduct its wars . Well we are providing a huge amount of support. This all comes amid the unrest within bidens own Party Campus Demonstrations and Protest Votes in swing states threatening his chances at reelection. He, its disgusting and disturbing to see President Biden continued to play more into election politics, yet some Vulnerable Senate democrats in swingstate, an with the president s mood. Are you comfortable with the president Holding Shipment to israel releasing you, do that. Why . Because Congress Passed it, that was their intent. They should put these you should release israel is bill to protect themselves. I made clear from beginning that israel has the right to exist and defend itself ive also made clear that humanitarian aid needs to get to gaza and nobody should stand in the way of that. I need to know more about the president s proposal d supported yet need to know more about the proposal even as he has won some praise from Progressive Democrats like alexandria ocasiocortez heralding the president s move. There has been some silence. Aaron, amongst them top quarters of democratic leadership. In fact, chuck schumer, senate majority, the first ever jewish majority leader of the United States senate, did not address this issue at all on the senate floor today, he was asked yesterday about the initial delay of those weapons to israel when he was asked about it, he said that the israel and america had an ironclad relationship. And he says, quote, if faith and what the Biden Administration is doing my thank you and out front now, former israeli Prime Minister, enough Tally Bennett, President Biden, making it clear to me that if israel launches a Ground Invasion into rafah, into the population center, that the United States will halt Weapons Shipments heres what he said. If they go into rafah, im not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah, to deal with the cities that deal with that problem. Were going to continue to make sure israel is secure in terms of iron dome and their ability to respond to attacks like came out the least recently but its its just wrong. What do you say to him well, certainly President Biden has always been a great friend to israel, but i think this decision is deeply misguided what are we being told here . We have a radical jihadist Terror Organization on our border thats telling us its going to continue trying to murder as many jews as possible. Obviously, we have to get rid of it. We have no choice now, talking about civilians. If hamas is granted immunity because it hides behind civilians billions, thats not only a problem with hamas, that means that the whole global jihad organizations are all going to adopt Human Shields as the core wherever of conducting terror. So this would be a profound mistake and we think that we have really no choice weve gotta do what we gotta do so let me just ask you though because he made very clear to me that some of the weapons that the United States has provided, including those powerful 2000 pound bombs he says that those bombs have been used by israel to Kill Civilians in gaza. That that has happened. I want to play that exact soundbite for you civilians have been killed in gaza is a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after Population Centers are you able to confirm whether us bombs have killed civilians in gaza well, of course, bombs when they target key hamas theyre sometimes as Collateral Damage and all wars all wars in every urban war in the history of the world, theres Collateral Damage, especially when hamas is using the civilians as human shield. Theres no doubt, but as israel using bumps to target civilians, absolutely not. Never. We never target civilians. In fact, we have the lowest ratio of Collateral Damage in the history of Urban Warfare Fair . Theres about, lets call it 30, 32,000 palestinians who died, half of them are terrorists. Thats onetoone in afghanistan and iraq, it was one to nine for every terrorists you killed, there were 6789 civilians were bending over backwards in order to prevent unnecessary deaths. Otherwise, wed get this whole thing done within three days if we didnt care about it. So are you using is not cavalier about this. All right. So are you going to continue . I mean, there was a video just put out by Prime Minister netanyahu. And what appears to be very clear and aggressive response to biden. He says, quote, if we have to stand alone, we will stand alone. And then the idf said israel has the weapons for rafah invasion my first question to you, i guess on this is a very basic one. Or any of those weapons at the idf says that you have stockpiled Four Rafah Invasion American weapons and stockpile i dont know. I assume that some of them are i mean, just im not in government right now so do you have any doubt when you hear that that Prime Minister Netanyahu Plans to go forward with a full incursion into gaza, into rafah we should have done rafah four months ago. I dont know why this wavering we should have just done it stops talking about it all day. Just go and destroy hamas, destroy those four battalions kill the leaders of hamas unless they are released. Its the hostages thats what i would have done. Were doing way too late, but its better late than never. And really we have no choice when theres four battalions, just imagine the fund on the border of texas, you had isis that that murdered roughly 50,000 americans, kidnap 6,000 americans in a highly popular bladed city in mexico. What would america do . What would you do . So were going to do just that and we have to do it theres no choice. We dont this is not on the other side of earth. This is on our border im just doing the math here. If you did that right. So youd have 50,000 times 17 that would mean the United States was willing to kill 875,000 mexicans. Do you think wed really do that . The United States rightfully so during world war ii Killed Hundreds Of Thousands of germans, millions of japanese, in order to bring an end to the war, the best way to save lives is to end the war as quickly as possible. This lingering is the problem if we have the backing of the United States thatll happen. I also want want to say one more thing. This partial embargo senza, a very bad message to us and wore the commander of hamas, because if he was going to reach a deal, hell say i dont need to do a deal anymore because anyway, israel can come into hamas if america is not supporting it moreover, hizballah in the north, all of the Terror Organizations in the middle east going to save themselves weight if america is withholding arms from israel, this is a great time to attack israel because they wont have enough farms. So i think this is not the right approach one more question i wanted to ask you about the response within your government bidens comments have sparked a lot of anger and alarm clearly, netanyahus National Security minister reacted by posting a tweet and it says, hamas heart emoji biden. It was all he posted. Ive seen it. Youve seen it is that the, right sentiment thats a childish and infant tile response and im certainly not going to defend every stupid thing that any minister says. Im speaking mostly on behalf of mainstream israel, right and left religious, secular we want gonna be close with the United States of america. We know americas our biggest friend. This is a time where were being attacked from yemen, from iraq, from iran, from syria, from lebanon, from gaza. This is the time where we need to stand together, fight back terror when get it over with all right. Well, thank you very much. A farm Prime Minister, enough taliban and i appreciate your time thank you next, Stormy Daniels going toetotoe with trumps lawyers pushing back after hours of crossexaminatio n, did the trump teams strategy backfired and theyre paying people to stand in line for hours for them in the hopes of getting a glimpse of whats going on inside the trump courtroom what time did you get here . 12, a.

Never mind of course, trump is not anticipates take the stand in that post comes just hours after we also saw a very different sayyed of Stormy Daniels on the Witness Stand. Daniels defined as she repeatedly sparred backandforth with trumps lawyer hitting back at attempt after attempt by the defense to discredit her and disparaged her. Paula reid is outfront donald trump continuing to fight back today. Theres no case should never have been brought out as his Hush Money Trial entered its 14th day his team attacking Stormy Daniels credibility in a tense crossexamination, you have a lot of experience of making phony stories about sex appear to be real Defense Attorneys is it nicholas said, wow, daniels replied with a pause. Thats not how i would put it. The sex and the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room. Nicholas asked daniels if she made up the story with trump. It that story was untrue. I would have written it to be a lot better. Daniels shot back the defense, zeroing in on small inconsistencies in the details of daniel story, hoping to undermine her credibility with the jury, your story has completely changed nicholas said daniels and raised voice, replied, no, youre trying to make me say that it changed, but it hasnt changed. And then they question daniels earlier testimony that she felt powerless in trumps hotel room, you acted and had sex in over 200 porn movies nechele said, but according to you, seeing a man sitting on a bed in a tshirt and boxer shorts was so upsetting that you got lightheaded. This wasnt the first time in your life someone made a pass at you . Daniels replied, no, but its the first its time they had a Body Guard Standing outside the door. Adding trump was twice her age and bigger than her when pressed, daniels explained my own insecurities made me feel that way. He did not put his hands on me. He did not give me any drugs or alcohol and he did not hold a weapon or hold me or threatened me. Nicholas also i really critical of how daniels profited off the encounter, even calling out her strip club tore make america horny again, daniels responded, i did not name that tore and i thought it tooth and nail. But nechele is said daniels has made nearly 1 million from a book deal documentary, and selling products on her website hi, youre celebrating the indictment by selling things from your store, right . Nechele less pressed. Daniels quipped, not unlike mr. Trump. Trump frowned as photos of the various merchandise were shown before the Court Daniels defended herself by saying she did an interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 minutes for free. Did you want to have sex with no but i didnt i didnt say no. Im not a victim. The prosecution later calling two witnesses who were involved in trumps business, a Junior Bookkeeper at the Trump Organization, and madeline western, the former director of Trumps Oval Office operations. She confirmed evidence that supports a key part of the prosecutions timeline, an Email Setting up a February 2017 Oval Office Meeting between trump and Michael Cohen, which cohen has claimed was to discuss, Reimbursement For Daniels Hush Money Payment prosecutors are expected to call a few more witnesses like those 40 flee to help them bring in evidence before they call the man whose testimony could decide this case . Michael cohen. And depending on timing, quick call him late tomorrow, but more likely they will want to kick off with him on monday and his appearance on the Witness Stand is expected to last at least through the week. Erin. All right. Thank you very much, paul, ryan goodman, terry austin are back with me. So ryan, you know, you warned that the extended cross exam of Stormy Daniels, which was a choice, they could be done, they couldve gone fast. They decided to sleep on wednesday and come in and try to make this a dragged out thing on thursday and and really humiliate or thats what they tried to do. Did it backfire . It sure seemed to i think the one word thats been most commonly associated with Stormy Daniels testimony todays that she was unflappable. So she came across very credible and if anything they went deeper about what happened with the sexual encounter and she comes across as credible and knowing the details and staying consistent in this small minutiae of discrepancies that they find doesnt really undermine the core account that shes given. So i think at the end of the day she comes out ahead, which is quite remarkable, given that this was cross examination by the Defense Counsel against her, right. I mean, tarragona think theyre spending time. Did you did you mean the tiles where this color or that hello. Oh, my goodness. Im just in it and it sends it also the bizarre thing for any person, but certainly a woman asking a woman apps to actually think youre going to remember that. I mean, that was bizarre. It was bizarre and it wasnt just the way that nichols was asking the questions. It was what she was asking to your point, she asked about the floor and what color what it was, and she kept harping on these very small issues like, will you go to dinner because when you were at this interview, you didnt mention that it was dinner. You said it was a meeting and here you said yes, you went to dinner and it was just minutia that didnt make any sense. Did you walk to the hotel or did you call the car and every time Stormy Daniels actually had a decent its an explanation or explanation for the food, was it was a dinner meeting. We didnt eat if we had showed up, she said and then there was no food which she thought they might go downstairs. They didnt they sat there upstairs. She said and no food came . Correct. And then for the car, she said she started walking, but then she ended up taking a car. So i think nichols made a mistake trying to get this discrepancies that really were so minor. And to your point, i do think that she really held up. Well on crossexamination. She even had a reason right. For why she took the car because her shoes were to highheeled and so she took a car i mean, you know id reasons for these things ryan you felt there was one thing that was sort of under the radar today. So im going to read exactly what happened in this exchange. Tell me why it matters. So this is the prosecution when youre on redirect and Stormy Daniels so shes asieh by the prosecution, do you recall that his attorneys, mr. Trumps attorney in court papers in june of 2018 confirmed that donald trump it had reimbursed Michael Cohens company essential consultants for the hundred 30,000 that was paid to you in 2017, de as answers, yes, i saw that prosecution. So that was confirmed and mr. Trumps submitted court papers, correct . She answers correct. Okay. Put that in english . So its really remarkable now its thinking that therell be a moment in which the prosecution would try to enter this into the evidence, and this is what they did. So there is a civil bunch of civil cases that are going back and forth between Stormy Daniels and donald trump in california. In 2018, dont trumps submits a court filing in which he admits to most of the facts in this case and the fact that he admits to is he pay repaid that he might reverse out when 400 for hush money to Stormy Daniels pursuant to the nda. So thats thats thats the scheme. And just to contrast it with the Opening Statement by Donald Trumps lawyer, todd blanche, in this trial, todd blanche in this trial says to the jury, youre going to hear that there was no reimbursement what happened today . They just hit donald trump himself in a court filing in 2018 and california, so that he did reimburse him and thats really deeply the way for me to say someone else did that filing or he didnt sign it or he didnt know. This isnt a court filing and under oath sort of equivalent yes. And its just an it is donald trump is hits his representation in that court and its the statement that he made. And also i should say, not only did he make it in the court, but theres then a Subsequent Court opinion in california and it actually says we consider that to be an admission by donald trump so let me ask that as a follow to that though, a reimbursement at. This goes back to one of the key things in this case, righteous is when you reimburse somebody for Business Expense or legal fee, its a one for one, but thats not how this was accounted for. Thats already been established that this was accounted for. They did it doubled to account for taxes. How does that fit . Well, one of the things that the prosecution is trying to say is that they entered all of these payments as kenya agreements in that Michael Cohen was giving them legal advice. And in fact, it was reimbursement for this hush money. So its inconsistent. I think that helps the prosecution and it hurts the defense. And i do think its something thats slipped under the radar. How does it fit this admission to a reimbursement with what we saw on the documentation with jeff mclean fani that showed gross up and double the amount to Michael Cohen. Do those two these two things fit . Absolutely. They completely fit because that is actually mcconney as the control of Trump Organization and weisselberg as the cfo in their Handwriting Writing down the true scheme, the true underlying scheme, which is as terry just said, its a embarrassment and then theyre grossing him up times two. And then mcconney actually writes for taxes. And what is the predicate crime here that can make this a felony that they were doing it for taxes that was committing tax fraud because on their tax papers, they were not saying that this was a hushmoney payment. They were saying legal services. Thats why he earned twice the amount. So now its all all there. Its just getting donald trump to know that he knew that that piece of paper happen, but that grows up happened. Thats right. And thats what were going to see if they are able to prove with this crucial Michael Cohen who we anticipate coming at any moment out to the court. All right. Thank you both very much. Next, were just learning prosecutors will not call Karen Mcdougal, who also claimed to have had a longterm im sexual relationship with the former president. They will not call her to the stand. Why many had thought they would . Ronan farrow has reported extensively on mcdougals relationship with trump ease out front next, and caught in the crosshairs more than 1 million refugees and rafah bracing for a fullon assault by Israeli Forces.

And this is cnn tonight keeping Karen Mcdougal off the stand. Prosecutors and trumps Hush Money Case revealing they do not plan to call the former Playboy Playmate to testify about her alleged affair with donald trump. That Major Development coming shortly after trumps Defense Attorneys filed a motion today to try to block mcdougal from taking the stand following Stormy Daniels, six hours of Graphic Testimony about her affair with trump and what happened after id front now, ronan farrow contributing writer for the new yorker, whos done incredibly extensive reporting on trumps Hush Money Payments, wrote the book catch and kill lies, spies, and conspiracy to protect predators and ronan is so great to have you back so you broke the news about trumps alleged affair with Karen Mcdougal for the new york or that was in 2018. So you broke that news as a journalist, youre also of course, a lawyer. Why do you think she is not being called to testify in this case in the first days her name was front and center. If anything, uttered more than Stormy Daniels well, we carried the first on the record, comments from mcdougal about it in the first detailed account of that affair, the Wall Street Journal had also done excellent prior reporting where they acknowledged that the transaction had happened, that the allegation of the affair existed out in the world world this is very much something a lot of publications contributed to meaningfully. Now, in terms of this particular witness not making it into the case, it makes a lot of sense with the way that the prosecution has structured this for the jury. Theyve started out by laying out the part of the story that Karen Mcdougal would have featured in her alongside another story that weve broken the new yorker about a door man who was paid off to conceal a rumor about a loved child those figure in this scheme that prosecutors say was undertaken with ami, the publisher of the national enquirer, to cover up unflattering stories during the election thats step in the story is necessary for providing contexts so that by the time you get to the testimony weve seen this week, where theyre talking about what exactly happened with stormy the transactions between Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniel and their allegation that those were disguised, those were concealed you need to know the preceding information. Now, it makes a lot of sense that they ultimately chose to go with david pecker, the former head of ami, because he was the one who is in the room for the hatching of those schemes. So theyre selecting him over. Karen mcdougal as a voice. You could actually speak to that intent very directly, i think was a smart player ultimately and crucial because trump of course, was at that meeting as they laid out with david pecker. Now, Karen Mcdougal post a picture on social media over the weekend of your book. Reading your book. And she writes in the post quote, reflecting. So shes relaxing the bath of the glass of wine and your book reflecting what, what, what did you interpret as you saw that well you know, its some expertly judged shade right at the heart of this trial, where people know that she is one of the examples that goes to this case. Prosecutors are making for intent where she was as prosecutors acknowledged today on their witness witness list she was very much in the air as a name that was mentioned a lot during this trial for her to post with her bubble bath, enjoying yourself on a Saturday Night with a book on this subject is obviously something pointed and there were a lot of chuckles about it and circles around this story. So we know Michael Cohen is going to be coming up really any day tomorrow or monday. Paula reid is reporting that he will be the last big name expected to be called by the prosecution. And its expected to last all next week, which of course were going just to be clear, that would be three court days now, you talked with him many times for these stories in recent years, how do you expect his examination and crossexamination are going to go, right . This is what it all comes down to. Well one of the weaknesses in this case for prosecutors is that when they actually grilled the Trump Organization, folks who were involved in bookkeeping they had to concede that they didnt have knowledge of trump directly ordering the covering up of these payments it all went through intermediaries and prosecutors would argue thats by design, that the effort to cover this up that is at the heart of this case, to some extent, worked. But nevertheless, they need a connecting voice, someone like Michael Cohen, who could say donald trump actually knew about this and ordered it. And so cohen is indispensible to the prosecutors case. He also presents challenges Michael Cohen has admitted to lying to congress. In other contexts and hes also been very noisy in a way that has alarmed prosecutors. He tweeted not that long ago hey, im now going to shut up. So theyre hoping they can make the most dependent and as a witness. All right. Rohan, and thank you very much. Great to see you always a pleasure. All right. Next we do have new video into outfront. This is a strike. We are learning of in Southern Gaza, people screaming for help. There are no ambulances ill take you to the region next.

So which data is pain . Youre tonight rafah bracing for a fullon assault. President biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are at a critical crossroads over israels plan to invade rafah. It is the biggest public rift yet in my interview with President Biden, he gave netanyahu and ultimatum. Dont do it, or the United States will cut off weapons. It comes as we have a new video and to cnn, which i warn you is incredibly disturbing. This Israeli Forces today targeting a mosque and rafah in this video you see survivors carrying out bodies of the dead and injured from the rubble one man is heard yelling. There are new ambulances to help the wounded and rafah Clarissa Ward is out front in jerusalem tonight and clarissa President Biden sent shockwaves Around The World. Of course, when he issued this ultimatum to netanyahu, he also admitted that american bombs were responsible for the deaths of Palestinian Civilians in gaza. What has been the reaction in israel . Well i think erin, this really was a pretty stark admission even though those of us who are following this conflict very closely know that us bombs have been killing Palestinian Civilians to hear the president express that, we have seen Amnesty International has released a number of investigations over the past few months where they have found us munitions at the sites of strikes where dozens of people, many of them civilians, have been killed. We have seen of course, the video, the aftermath that these 2000 pound bombs, which have left honestly much of gaza looking like a sort of moonscape, if you will. But it was that ultimatum to netanyahu that really has people here, israel talking. We have seen very strong reaction come from a number of the officials, Prime Minister netanyahu himself saying today that if israel needs to go it alone, we will saying that we will fight if we have to win our fingernails. We also heard from war cabinet minister benny gantz who said, quote, the us has a moral and strategic obligation to apply israel with the necessary tools to complete its mission. We heard from farright National Security minister bengvir, who just posted on x saying hamas hearts biden, but perhaps most importantly, we also heard from Idf Spokesperson daniel hagari, aaron, who said that this is not going to change things essentially, and that the idf does have the weapons. It needs to continue its fight in Rafah Aaron To Go and do it alone with the stockpile that they have for Prime Minister natalia, but i was so i may assumes that many of that stockpile is also us weapons, but ones that israel already has i mean, this comes down to clarissa, the agony the suffering in gaza. And the more than rep million refugees and rafah who have sought refuge there. How dire is this situation now for them . The situation is absolutely dire. We are seeing a number of Aid Organizations who are really sounding the alarm bell 1. 4 Million People have been hunkered down in rafah somewhere between 8,150,000 people have already evacuated since the idf started this latest operation. But the places that theyre being evacuated to almawasi, for example, these socalled designated safe zones simply dont have the infrastructure or the space to support them. And perhaps most crucially, these border crossings, aaron, which are a very limited but vital lifeline to get aid into get personnel aid. Personnel and to get fuel in according to the un no trucks have been passing through Kerem Shalom Rafah is closed according to the israelis, dozens. The state Department Said some, we just dont know and very tellingly, we saw a really stark warning from the un humanitarian chief martin griffiths. He took to x as well, and he posted a longer posting basically that they have not been able to get anything in in three days and talking about the impact of that, no fool. Fuel for generators for hospitals. And he finished with this one line. Our teams are stuck. Civilians in gaza are being starved and killed and we are preventing we are prevented from helping them. This has gaza today, even after seven months of har erin course. So thank you very much. Live from jerusalem of course, of course, has spent time in gaza in this horrific war. It all happening as the complicated relationship between biden and netanyahu is now coming to a head Oren Liebermann front an airtight embrace between World Leaders in the days after october 7 has given way to barely contained anger, a personal and political fight decades in the making. President joe biden has more than 50 years of History Dating back to 1973. Ive worked with every Prime Minister of israel from golden may year right through to the present Prime Minister, he first met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the 80s, biden, a young senator on the Foreign Relations committee, where theyre not in israel, the United States of america would have to invent an israel israels longestserving leader than working at the embassy in dc the relationship has more often than not had some friction. I signed a picture long time for vb. Hes been a friend for over 30 years. That should bb i dont agree with the damping is saved, but i love you but we really are good friends. Biden has long been seen as a pro israel democrat. He surged aid to israel after october 7 and signed off on congresss supplemental designating 14 billion for israel under president barack obama, biden was seen as an asset able to work with netanyahu. But the tension between biden and netanyahu burst into the open last year when netanyahu tried to push through a major judicial overhaul like many strong support of israel, im very concerned concern that they get this straight it cannot continued on his throat even so never before has it spilled over like this . Ive made it clear to bibi and the war cabinet. Theyre not going to get our support if in fact they go on these Population Centers in an exclusive interview with erin burnett, biden said the us wouldnt now, supply bombs to israel if it invaded rafah, where more than 1 million palestinians have sought refuge, were not walking away from israels security rockaway, israels ability to wage war in those areas, biden has grown increasingly frustrated with netanyahu telling his advisers that the israeli leader is ignoring his advice the relationship may be beyond repair. It cant get better as long as mr. Netanyahu was in power, what may happen is that these differences could be mitigated, alleviated, but that would be only a temporary relief seven months into the war, the us openly opposes and israeli Ground Invasion of rafah offer one netanyahu promises is still coming. Me. Third lot more levada. If we need to stand alone, we will stand alone. I have said that if necessary, we will fight with our fingernails, the short statement posted on social media didnt mention biden but it didnt need to adding to the tension between the two liters is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus internal domestic politics and thats because of the farright flank of his coalition. They have threatened his government if there is a ceasefire and the war stops. So aaron, for netanyahu, months of war is not a threat to his government. A ceasefire may all right. Oren.
