As the Death Toll climbs In Gaza from israeli Air Strikes and artillery, deadly violence is now spreading to the West Bank. At least ten palestinians were reportedly killed on friday, and many others were injured as they clashed with israeli soldiers in the West Bank. Now, Israels Bombardment of gaza has been going on around the clock. The palestinian Health Ministry says at least 126 palestinians have been killed, including dozens of children, since the conflict began. Eight israelis have been killed by rockets fired from gaza and most of them are being destroyed by israels irondome system. But some have slipped through, with deadly effect. Journalist Mary Zilberg joins us now, live, from tel aviv. More rockets, more threats, a Widening Area of conflict. It seems clear, things are heading in the wrong direction. Are you expecting things to escalate even further today . Well, thats the concern. After a bloody week, tensions and clashes in jerusalem. Open warfare In Gaza. Intercommunal riots between arab citizens of israel and jewish citizens of israel. All across cities in Israel Yesterday we saw it spread into the West Bank. Deadly day in the West Bank. Deadliest day, for many years. With, top of that, a major milestone in the political calendar where they mark israel in 1948. But given the events of the past week, we are looking at this day, in particular, as a major signal of where things are headed. The fear is that it will only escalate, from here. Yeah. That seems ominous. We know there have been efforts to diffuse the tension by regional players, and internationally by countries like the u. S. It may not seem like it, from the scenes were playing here. But is there any sense that there is any headway being made, Behind The Scenes . Well, the biden administration has sent an envoy. A seniorstate department official, to the region. Hes been in talks with israeli officials over the past day. We know that the egyptian government has, also, sent a delegation, and is working Behind The Scenes. As it always, usually, does to try to deescalate the fighting, primarily between israel and hamas In Gaza. But given the events of the pastfew days, and the bloodshed yesterday, as well as, as i mentioned, today, No One is quite confident that they are going to be able to bring the fighting to a close, anytime soon, unfortunately. All right. Well, well stay on the story. Thank you so much. In tel aviv. Regional support is growing for palestinians, as the violence continues to escalate. From istanbul to jordan, protestors have taken to the streets to march in solidarity with those In Gaza. Cnns Salma Abdelaziz was at one of those rallies, in lebanon. She joins us, now, live, from beirut. Salma, the anger seems to be spreading with deadly consequences. Whats the latest there . Kim, yes, i was at a demonstration yesterday. This one was organized by hezbollah here in beirut. A few dozen people came out expressed their solidarity. A lot of the rhetoric you would expect. They are accusing israel of war crimes, crimes against humanity. Standing in solidarity with the families In Gaza that are living under bombardment. And today, those demonstrations, those protests are expected to grow and thats because, as you just heard from my colleague, it is the day where people commemorate the Hundreds Of Thousands of palestinians that were displaced in 1948 in the conflict around the founding of the state of israel. There was Hundreds Of Thousands of refugees. They are descendants now. They number in the millions and they are spread out across the region, across syria, across jordan, across here in lebanon where a big demonstration is planned for the day. It is called for along the border fence, between lebanon and israel. M multiple political factions urging everyone to come out and the concern is this could turn bloody. Thats because, yesterday, there was a 21yearold lebanese man who tried to storm that fence. Israeli military fired. He sustained wounds and died in hospital. And as you know, any Blood Shed along these Fault Lines could escalate tensions. But along these very traditional demonstrations, the rhetoric that you have heard from this region for decades around this conflict. There is, also, a very new reality thats happening. A big shift. And thats the Normalization Agreements. You have multiple countries, united arab emirates, morocco, sudan, others normalizing their relationship with israel. The argument being, over the course of the last year as these agreements were being made, is that it gives them greater influence, when it comes to mediation and negotiations when those happen. And if that happens. That if moment is happening, right now. Potentially, mediations starting to calm this recent spat. This recent escalation in tensions and the question is, with these gulf states, with these Normalization Agreements really mean they will have a greater voice to stand up and call for demands for people In Gaza for greater rights for civilians or just empty words, kim . Lets hope it bears fruit, certainly. Salma abdelaziz, in beirut, thank you so much. Americans are trying to navigate new guidance from the federal government, that says its now safe for fullyvaccinated people to remove their masks, in most settings. The Adrbrupt Change is sparking widespread confusion. Just over 36 of americans are fully vaccinated, which means most people, still, need to wear a face covering. But now, this is just national guidance. While some states are jumping at the opportunity to ditch their Mask Mandates, others are waiting. Cnns Nick Watt has details. Reporter the percentage of covid19 tests coming back positive has never been lower than its been these pastfew days, ever. Thats big. So is this. If you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask. Reporter too soon . This change was really abrupt. The cdc went, from zero to a hundred, overnight. Lets break it down. Just the fully vaccinated. So just over onethird of the population and its guidance, actual laws and mandates. These decisions are going to have to be made at the local level. Reporter take hawaii. For now . My Mask Mandate continues to be enforced. Everyone must wear their masks, indoors. Reporter minnesotas Mask Mandate, already, no more. If you are going into a business, where folks are unmasked, you know that theyre vaccinated. Its a safe thing to do. Reporter but how do you know theyre vaccinated . This really is the honor system. So i am still going to wear a mask if i am in a publicindoor place. Reporter some school districts, already, dropped mandates. Zero. No one wears masks. I havent seen one mask. Its pretty sweet. Pretty dope. We got rid of it. Reporter chad is now eligible for a vaccine, but remember, younger kids, still, are not. The cdc, were told, struggling to convince vaccinehesitant republicans. Its kind of a mess to figure out with this particular audience, what resonates with them, said one source. Because they see vaccines as taking away their freedom. Does stuff like this actually help . Fans that come out tomorrow and if they are either tested or get the vaccination, theyll be able to take two laps around the talladega super speedway. The worlds biggest, baddest, and fastest track. Topinfectious disease expert, dr. Anthony fauci is insisting the new guidance follows the science. And while he says fullyvaccinated americans should leave their masks behind. He says many students will need to wait, a little longer. Listen to this. People feel that, which they should now, based on the data, that it is safe for them not only outdoors but indoors. They should feel comfortable in not wearing a mask. The schools should be open, Face To face, inperson classes, in the fall. We, absolutely, have to do that. And in those situations, if the child, which, obviously, elementaryschool kids are not vaccinated, they should wear a mask. Cnn medical analyst, dr. Rodriguez joins me now from los angeles. He is also a boardcertified Internalmedicine Specialist and viral researcher. Thank you so much for joining us, doctor. The Cdc Decision seems to have thrown the country into chaos. Every every jurisdiction, every business, it seems, now, forced to make its own rules. Just just anecdotally, the Grocery Stores in my neighborhood as an example. The publix, on one side of the street, dropped its Mask Mandate. The krogers, literally on the other side of the street, is keeping its Mask Mandate. Already, we are seeing fights break out at restaurants and other businesses, people having to defend their Mask Mandates. I saw you tweeted this. We will pop this up here. Without a without a precise and clear way of knowing who is fully vaccinated, this is all the cdc just gave private businesses and you can see there, a can of worms, which seems pretty apt. So, tell us, a bit more. Like, what what do you make of this . Well, i think the Cdcs Science is absolutely correct. That, being vaccinated, not only keeps you from getting seriously ill. It also keeps you from spreading the disease. But i think, the announcement that everybody or people that are vaccinated see, even i made the mistake, that people that are vaccinated can take off their mask was, a, too abrupt. And, b, A Little Bit premature. So a lot of people took this to mean that its now okay to take your masks, you know, anybody can take their Mask Off. I know a lot of people said that. Now, remember, the cdc gives guidelines. They dont create laws. They dont create policy. Thats made by states and, you know, in local jurisdictions. So, i think, the fact that it was just thrown out there is whats causing this chaos. Because people that dont want to wear a mask, man, thats what they are going to hang their hat on, now. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the cdc was saying, you know, they were trying to stop the confusion because the studies were showing the vaccine is effective. And so, therefore, the question is, if the vaccines are effective, then why should you have to wear a mask . But doesnt common sense, sort of, suggest, as you were saying, that people who havent made vaccine getting a vaccine a priority those types of people, i guess, will be the same people who who will now, gladly, you know, sort of throw their mask away. And spurn social distancing. Right. Which is ironic, because, listen, its simple. It isnt rocket science. It may be science but it isnt rocket science. The virus has somewhere to go, and someone to infect. The people that are vaccinated are not the ones that are going to get sick, and get infected. Its the people that are not vaccinated. So, if someone, for somepolitical reason, that is not vaccinated does not want to wear a mask, they are getting themselves into evengreater jeopardy. So, we need to be clear. People that are vaccinated are safe. Rare i mean, basically, safe to go without masks. I, personally, im going to go without masks around my friends that i know are vaccinated. Call me what you want. Maybe, i still have whats called cave syndrome. But in large groups, i dont know whos not vaccinated. Im probably, still, going to wear a mask. Exactly. But then then, are we expecting to see, maybe, a spike in cases thats thats linked to this . That is very possible. That is that is very possible. So again, we, americans, are great. But sometimes, we think we are the only country in the world and we are not. So you have to realize this is not just an infection of the united states. And as soon as we start traveling to other countries and other countries want us because they need our business. And and we want to go there. We are going to be exposed to many varniants, and many, different possible viruses, that were going to bring back home. So people have to realize that, today, the cdc may say, hey, it is safe, if you are vaccinated, to stop wearing a mask. But tomorrow, their recommendation may be, you know what . Things are too hot, now. Everybody has to put their masks back on. Yeah. But by then, i think, itll be tough to stuff that genie, back, in the bottle. I agree. I want to ask about kids because thats another area of confusion. In the clip we played just a few minutes ago, we heard dr. Fauci say unvaccinated kids in schools should, still, be masked. But as soon as the Cdc Announcement came out, a whole litany of School Boards dropped their Mask Mandates for their staff and and for their students or, you know, schools almost over but plenty of kids will be herded together at camps and othersummer activities. Many of them, indoors. So whats the worry here for those under 12, who still wont be vaccinated for quitesome time . Especially, given that about, what, as a quarter of infections in the u. S. Right now are are with children. Yeah. You know, the the worry is that, like i said before, they are now the available hosts for the vaccine i mean, excuse me, for the virus. The people that are vaccinated. The Virus Isnt going to infect them. Theyre going to find somebody else that they can replicate inside of. And that leads unvaccinated people, of which children are a large segment. So, i believe, that children that are not vaccinated, which is all of them, should still wear masks. And there should, still, be social distancing in school. If the faculty is vaccinated, thats great. Thats oneless chance that the children are going to catch it. But all children, unvaccinated, are still susceptible to the virus. Yeah. All right. Well, all of this heralds, you know, return to normalcy. But it still comes with a huge asterisk here, as we try to to muddle our way through this. Thank you, so much, for helping us do that. Appreciate it. Dr. Jorge rodriguez. Pleasure.

Com on capitol hill, some republicans are trying to rewrite history about januarys capitol insurrection. Cnns Jessica Schneider reports, the house has reached a deal to create a bipartisan commission to investigate the riot and uncover the truth. Reporter federal prosecutors are pouring over thousands of pages of newly revealed messages from ethan nordean. The internal communications between nordean, and other proud boys, take place over text, telegram messenger, and whatsapp. And prosecutors say they prove how the Protrump Extremist Group plotted out the capitol insurrection. One Telegram Exchange reads, i want to see thousands of Normies Burn that city to ash today. Would be epic. The state is the enemy of the people. We are the people. F yeah. God, let it happen. I will settle with seeing them smash some bpigs to dust. Nordean and other proud boys have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and other charges. New, exclusive Bodycamera Footage shows how d. C. Police officer, michael fanone, was targeted and surrounded by members of the mob, on January 6th. He pleaded for his life by shouting out about his family. Excruciating pain, and screaming out. And i remember, the fear of losing control, at that moment. Reporter fanone said he relived the trauma of January 6th when he listened to a House Hearing this week, where several republican lawmakers lied about what unfolded that day. It was trump supporters who lost their lives that day, not trump supporters who were taking the lives of others. To my knowledge, not a single person has been charged with a crime of insurrection. If you didnt know the Tv Footage was a video from january the 6th, you would actually think it was a normaltourist visit. Those are lies. And peddling that bullshit is an assault on every officer that fought to defend the capitol. Its disgraceful. Reporter meanwhile, some members of congress are, still, concerned about their safety when it comes to fellow lawmakers.

Reporter Marjorie Taylor Greene came under fire, as well, after January 6th when her close ally, anthony, was seen on video inside the capitol. And later, admitting on tape that he was among those who entered the building. Now, as for officer fanone, he sent a letter to lawmakers recently calling on them to recognize what happened that day, and to commend officers bravery. Four people have been charged in connection to the attack on officer fanone. Jessica schneider, cnn, washington. U. S. House republicans have chosen a replacement for their numberthree leadership position. On friday, they voted in new York RepresentativeElise Stefanik as their conference chair. Stefanik had backed an objection to the electoralcollege tally, which affirmed president joe bidens victory, despite false claims of voter fraud. She, also, supported a Texas Lawsuit that tried to over deoverturn the Election Results in several states. Earlier, this week, the republicans ousted Liz Cheney from the leadership role.

Welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and Around The World. Im Kim Brunhuber and this is cnn newsroom. Back to our top story. The intense fighting between israeli forces and gaza militants is showing no signs of deescalating. Friday saw back and forth of israeli Air Strikes and Gaza Rocketfire causing the Death Toll to climb. Israel says eight of its citizens have been killed since the exchange of fire began monday. Palestinian officials say at least 126 people have lost their lives, In Gaza, including 31 children. The u. N. Says more than 10,000 people are now displaced. Their homes, reduced to rubble. The palestinian mission to the u. N. Is, again, appealing for international intervention to end the Bloodshed But Israel has rejected any talk of a ceasefire, and No One may be suffering more than the children of gaza. Cnns Arwa Damon has their tragic story. Reporter a sister, unable to comprehend the loss. A father gripped by g gutwrenching pain. A family, unable to understand why. Why did 11yearold Hussein have to die . A palestinian childrens Rights Organization says the cause of death is unclear. There were, both, rockets being fired and War Planes overhead. The Health MinistryIn Gaza says it was an air strike. In the familys mind, there is no doubt. Why did you have to kill him, his uncle asks. They kill, and there is No One to make them answer for it. The whole world is watching. How can the adults, unable to cope with their own sorrow, wipe the tears of the children . And reassure them that everything will be all right. That this, too, shall pass. Loss like this. It never does. 2yearold dead along with two siblings and a young cousin. The growing list of children, forever gone. There is no escaping from gaza. A denselypacked, tiny strip of land, under israeli blockade. From where hamas Fires Rockets toward israel, and Israel Dispenses collective punishment. Where there are no shelters, no airraid sirens, just warnings from the israelis that send families pouring into the streets with what they can carry. What should we do, this father asks, helpless. Of course, we will leave. Should we wait for them to kill us and our kids . There are no reassuring words. No tucking their children, safely, into bed, telling them that the nightmare is over. Please, please, people, have some empathy with us. We are dying, every day. This is too much. Another father pleads. Israel says its strikes are precise targeting hamas. But targeting someone in a Residentialapartment Building is to target all of its residents. The Shockwave Ripples through the neighborhood. Windows smash. Walls crack and crumble. Shrapnel flies. And even if they manage to flee before the strikes, all they owned in life is reduced to rubble. No one can promise these children that, once they heal and go back home, if they even have a home to go back to, that they will be safe. To do so would be a lie. For this is gaza. Where, even if this round of bombardment does pass, the next one will always loom. Arwa damon, cnn, istanbul. And joining us now is julie norman, a lecturer in politics and international relations at the University College london. Thank you so much for joining us. We have watched this cycle of violence happen again and again, but i am hearing from experts, from those on the ground there. That that there is something A Little Bit different about whats going now. Whether its the sheer number of arab citizens in israel participating in the protests or the ugly violence in these mixed cities, between jews and arabs. So, put This Into Historical Context for us. What what are you seeing . Sure, kim. Well, what we are seeing this week is very reminiscent of the socalled gaza wars that we saw in 2008, in 2012, and in 2014. Where we, again, saw israeli Air Strikes and hamas rockets, going back and forth. And quite tragically, resulting in thousands of civilian casualties. What is different, this time, is, as you noted, it is extending just beyond the Gaza And Israel border. In the sense that weve seen violence erupt, also, in many israeli cities. Many of these cities are cities that have been relatively peaceful. Have sometimes tensions but overall, pretty peaceful coexistence between arab and jewish residents. Instead, we have seen much violence in these cities as well. About800 arrests over the last week with jewish and arab citizens essentially attacking each other. Obviously, very small minority. But a very sizeable impact. The other thing thats different, that we are seeing, is the Scale And Scope of the hamas rockets. So, in the past, in 2014, for example, hamas launched about4,000 rockets over a 50day period. They have already launched about 2,000 rockets this time over a fiveday period. And have also demonstrated that the rockets can reach further into israel than in the past. So this has really caused concern for israeli officials. And from their perspective, has rationalized some of the response into gaza, with trying to disrupt the infrastructure behind the rockets. Now, a cynic, or maybe a political realist, might say that as horrific as this is for the victims. This has been beneficial for politicians. Specifically, prime minister netanyahu, who might be getting a political lifeline here. And hamas, which which had lost popularity. And now, has a very visible way to show its relevance. I know, this is something you have written about extensively. How how political expediency on both sides is feeding into the conflict. Well, thats exactly right, kim. This Conflict And Crisis right now has emerged, at a time of leadership crises in both communities. In israel, netanyahu has been unable to form a government. This is after four rounds of elections in israel in two years. And at the same time, in palestine, elections that were supposed to be held this summer, have been indefinitely postponed. And what we see is, both, netanyahu and then hamas and the palestinian side really taking advantage of this moment. For netanyahu, trying to show israelis that this is not the time to change course. Showing that hes strong on security and defense. On the palestinian side, its really hamas trying to project their image as the voice of resistance for the palestinian people. Especially, in contrast to the palestinian authority, which many palestinians see as very weak, as obsolete. And hamas, really trying to carve out their voice and their space, as a leading palestinian group. Now, Weve Seen Rockets targeting israel from from lebanon, jordan, syria. What are the regional implications here . And do the neighboringarab countries have to get more assertive in pressuring hamas . And maybe, the arab countries that had normalized relations with israel, to do the same with the israelis . Well, weve certainly seen a lot of popular popular demonstrations, support for palestinians, coming out from citizens of neighboringarab countries, especially jordan and lebanon. Trying to show solidarity. From arab leaders and from arab states, we see, as usual, rhetorical Solidarity And Support for palestinians. But really, not many moves or actions to really do much to support palestinians, in their cause or in this broader conflict. Where we are seeing some movement is in the emphasis on trying to get a ceasefire. And so, just to underscore the fact that the u. S. Cannot deal, directly, with hamas. But but the u. S. Does work through allies, like egypt, like qatar, who do have direct relations with hamas, and are trying to use their leverage with that group to get the ceasefire in place. So, i think, thats where well see the emphasis in the coming days. Yeah. I mean, speaking of the u. S. , domestically, here, weve reported on how the biden Administration Sort of wanted to move away from the middle east. And deprioritize it. But but are now being dragged back in. Republicans are fairly united in backing israel. Biden is facing some pressure from the left to support the palestinians. So, where does that leave the president , now . Well, certainly, the administration was not expecting this crisis to emerge. And was really not prepared for it. They do not have an ambassador on the ground, yet, in israel. They have just sent a diplomat to the region to try and assist with the deescalation and negotiations. But as you noted, biden has been looking to kind of wind down some of the u. S. Commitments in the middle east. To pivot, more, To Asia and to china. But hes finding it very difficult to do that with what we see emerging. And it should, also, be noted that, again, this is really revealing some rifts within the democratic party. Many on the left, in the democratic party, would like to see more action in solidarity with palestinians. Biden and his team are reflecting more of a traditional, democratic approach of restating commitment to israel and israels right to defend itself. And always, of course, under the backdrop, as well, of biden trying to get the iran nuclear deal through which has also resulted in tensions with israel. So its a situation that biden certainly didnt want to be in, at this point. But his team is really just forced to respond with the large role that the u. S. Has played in this conflict, in the past and in the present. All right. Julie norman, thank you so much for analyzing that for us. Really appreciate it. Thanks, kim. Well, we are seeing images of solidarity Around The World for both sides of this grueling and devastating conflict. This mosque in brazil illuminated its dome with both the brazilian and palestinian flags. And with it, a message reading free and sovereign palestine. But thousands of kilometers away in ukraine, a an israeli flag flew in the skies of kyiv, attached to a drone. The company behind this gesture says it wanted to express its condolences and Show Support for the people of israel.

And protestors, doctors, and an increasing number of Business Leaders in japan say holding the games, this year, is just dangerous. Selina wang spoke with the ceo of a majorjapanese company, and joins us now from tokyo. So, selina, its one thing for the public to be against it. But when the corporate support starts to waiver, could that be a Turning Point . Well, kim, the real Decision Maker here, the ioc, insists that these games will be held, as planned. As does the japanese government. But we are sort of reading reaching an Inflexion Point here. With the mood on the ground shifting. Public opposition is mounting. And snow balling. For months now, we have known from the public polls, which say that more than half of the population here, in japan, thinks the games should not be held this year. But now, we are also starting to see highprofile voices come out, including in the corporate world. I sat down with the ceo of a tech giant. The leading Ecommerce Company here in japan. He is one of the most highprofile executives here and he tells me he is urging the government to cancel the games. In our exclusive interviews, his comments really amount to the strongestpublic criticism against the games, from anycorporate leader in japan. Take a listen here. Its dangerous to host the big, international event, from all over the world. So, it it it the risk is too big. And, you know, i am against having tokyo olympics this year. Why do you think the government has been so forceful in its determination that they will, still, go ahead, despite the public opposition, including from Business Leaders like yourself . I call it a suicide mission, to be very honest. We should stop. I am trying to convince them but not successful, so far. I, also, asked the ceo what grade he would give the japanese government for its handling of the covid19 pandemic. He said he would give it a two out of ten. Japan, right now, has only fully vaccinated about 1 of its population. And its not just rakuten but also toyota, which is a top sponsor of the olympics. That company saying its concerned about growing public frustration against the games. Frien for instance, in just nine days an online petition received more than 350,000 signatures for the games to be cancelled. Even a Doctors Union here in japan is urging for cancellation. Saying that its impossible for them to be held safely. Warning that they could turn into a superspreader event, even without any spectators. And meanwhile, covid19 cases here continue to surge with the state of emergency, recently, being further expanded. Kim. All right. Thank you so much, selina wang, In Tokyo for us. Appreciate it.
