At morning, and welcome to the Sunday Edition of Morning Joe Weekend. It was another fastmoving newsweek, and here are some of the conversations you might have missed.

I dont know what they are telling you, what they are telling other people. They act ing like people are holding four aces. How about this . Thats pretty bad. Oh, yeah. Looks really tough. Yeah. Is as a criticism . No, im telling you. They know something that i think a lot of us dont know. They look at numbers, they see where things are going, they have a theory of the case, and when they realize donald trump is going to be getting into the race, they understand that you win politics by raising money. They understand Donald Trumps numbers are way down in every way, and fundraising, and they say, no, they are not. And as far as organization goes, we all know anybody
Message delivered and what might be next . Effectively an ultimatum for Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, that either he puts the National Interest ahead of his purse its not the interest either. He does whats best for israel or he goes within benny gantz as words, the radicals and his government or reference presumably to the farright ministers Bezalel Smotrich and tamar bengvir. Either he goes with the nation or the radicals, or else benny gantz will leave this government and you recall back in the aftermath of the hamas Terrorist Attacks of october the seventh, benny gantz was the one of the leaders of the opposition.

Applause today, and why he may get a different reception this weekend. And body shaming, iq insults, lots of people shouting, were not talking about high school. How a hearing on capitol hill turned into complete chaos. Our nbc News Reporters are following the very latest developments for us, and were going to begin with that new lifeline for gaza, desperately needed aid has started flowing in thanks to a temporary pier built by the u. S. Nbcs Josh Lederman is joining us with the latest on that. Give me a sense of how important the pier is to the overall effort of getting humanitarian aid into gaza. Well, it is so critical, alex, especially after aid stopped flowing into gaza on land via The Rafah Crossing after israel took over the gazan side of the crossing with egypt earlier this month.
