Welcome to the lead, im jake tapper. And we start today of course with our world lead. And a new warning about the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in gaza. Today u. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken returned to israel after meeting with multiple allies throughout the middle east. Trying to get a humanitarian corridor open for innocents to evacuate from gaza before israel ramps up attacks on hamas. Right now israel is pointing the civilians toward the Southern Gate into egypt, known as the Rafah Crossing which is still clowes. Video shows dozens families including babies waiting next to locked gates. A u. S. Government memo showed more than 250 u. S. Citizens in Southern Gaza waiting for the crossing to open. And earlier reports suggested that it was the Egyptian Government to open the gate when i pressed Jake Sullivan on this issue yesterday, he blamed the closure on on altogether different group.

Team over the last two years have left. 11 out of 15. So when our colleagues leave, we ask the general lift to absorb those patients, carry their own panels and continue to see these patients.

World for Prescription Drugs. So that is the reality of this bill. What do we do . Well, if we are serious about responding to what the American People want and the polling that i have seen, its like 70 to 80 of the people understand that Prescription Drugs are much too high.

The result of where we are today is that medicare pays twice as much for the exact same Prescription Drugs as the v. A. And people all over this country. In some cases, as i mentioned earlier, we may pay up to ten times as much for a particular drug. In other words, when it comes to reducing the price of Prescription Drugs
