Welcome. My name is brant rosen. Im the rabbi esthetic chicago and a member of the chicago chapter of jewish voice for peace. Two of the cosponsors of evenings program. Id like to first thank and honor our events primary sponsor, rights watch. As im sure many of you may know of Nathan Thrall appearances have been canceled recently. And the fact that we are here at all this evening is due the principles and quite the courage of rw and our good friends here at temple. Please, lets show some appreciation to those who made this evening possible. Were gathering together this evening. As we all know as a horrific tragedy continues to unfold in gaza and israel. Im tempted to say that when program was first scheduled, none of us could imagined the terrible circumstances in which we now find ourselves. But im not so sure thats completely true. Palestinians, their allies and numerous human organizations, including Human Rights Watch have long been sounding the alarm that israel has been subjecti
Trump alone. Wow. Fascinating. Thank you. Cnn this morning continues right now pochlt. This is cnn breaking news. It is the top of the pour. Im poppy harlow with Phil Mattingly in new york. Monitoring two big stories right now. Jim jordan about to give a News Conference in minutes as he tries yet again to become House Speaker after failing multiple times. We are also following several big developments in israels war with hamas. Today President Biden is back from the war zone and calling on congress to approve a new Wartime Aid Package for israel and ukraine. In a prime tile oval always speech he called it vital for Americas National security. I know these conflicts can seem far away. Its natural to ask, why does this matter to america. When terrorists dont pay a price for their terror, when dictators dont pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos and death and destruction. They keep going. The cost and threats to america and the world keep rising. Of course, congress is pa
Ability to fund itself beyond the middle of november. So the president has a real sales pitch to make to the American People, to leadership on capitol hill, north of 100 billion in the coming days. Kaitlan, President Bidens popularity here in israel has soared since this attack began, both for the speech he gave and also for the speech he gave here and the visit here, first time a president visiting during wartime. What are you expecting tonight . Its kind of remarkable how tied he is to everything that is happening here. Well see what that looks like once israel go into gaza, as we expect them to do. Obviously as kayla was noting, this is going to be a bigger speech on multiple fronts, ukraine, taiwan, democracy period, and how the u. S. Helping these countries fight these fights keeps u. S. Troops out of it, keeps the u. S. Out of it to a degree. But he is so closely tied to this. He came here yesterday and sat in on a Cabinet Meeting. Not just any Cabinet Meeting be, ah wartime Cabi
Coverage. Im Boris Sanchez with Brianna Keilar In Washington, alongside Anderson Cooper in tel aviv. Palestinian civilians desperately need humanitarian aid. Yesterday President Biden got assurances that food, water and medicine would be allowed through the rafa Border Crossing, though Delivery Trucks are waiting for the green light. A few hours before that happens tonight, President Biden will be addressing americans from the oval office. Anderson . Here in israel sorry. Lets go to nick roberts. Nick, whats going on . Reporter anderson, were seeing outgoing intercepts from the iron dome. Weve just taken shelter because we had the incoming siren of missiles incoming. Its a very short range to gaza from here. When the siren goes off, you have about six or seven seconds to take cover. I think there were two salvos of rockets. We saw intercepts that were heading to the north. Then the sirens went off where we were, which is why we took cover. We heard those rockets come over. Its been a b
Violating International Humanitarian law. A u. N. Commission is collecting evidence of war crimes allegedly committed by israel and hamas. Israel says it is observing International Law. The International Criminal court can launch an investigation to determine whether casualties in gaza and israel are a violation, but israel does not recognize the iccs jurisdiction. For nine consecutive days gaza has shaken under relentless israeli strikes. Entire neighborhoods have been turned to rubble after israel dropped thousands of bombs. These indiscriminate attacks on civilians are violate article 25 of the hague conventions. Since hamas killed 1300 israelis nearly 10 years ago, the Israeli Military has imposed a total siege on gaza. The enclave was already under a blockade for 16 years. Palestinians and aid workers say lack of food, medicine, and basic supplies has made the situation catastrophic. Israel as the occupying power is prohibited from deporting or transferring part of the population
