Im Brianna KeilarIn Washington alongside Boris Sanchez and lets go straight to Gabe Cohen On Capitol Hill where a protest is under way. Brianna, we are in the Canon Office Building in the capitol and you can see from where im standing a huge crowd of protesters who are here occupying the rotunda in this Building Calling for a ceasefire in gaza. This comes just a few minutes after they were holding a rally on the National Mall, but as you can see, right in front of us right now someone is being arrested. We have seen a lot of people being zip tied and led away after being told that this was a sealed space, that they could not here. In fact, we were standing about five feet that way, and i was told by a Police Officer move or you will be arrested and thats exactly whats happening to the people here. These are the same organizers and the same groups who were outside the white house on monday, 30 people arrested outside the white house who are blocking entrances. There was a huge crowd there on monday and now were seeing the same thing today. They, again, are calling for an end to the war. The fighting, the bombings in gaza. They have put a lot of the blame listening to the speakers here over the last couple of hours that were down at the rally on the National Mall. They put the blame squarely at the foot of israel and the idf and now again, we are watching as Capitol Police are arresting people one by one who are seated in this area who are being told they need to leave now and yet they are willing, in this case, to be zip tied and to be led away. Guys . Can you have your Photographer Pan up a little. Are they in the upper part of the rotunda there, as well or are they on the main floor part . Yeah, brianna. Ill show you. If we can show the folks across the rotunda and even on the upper level and right as this got under way we saw people hanging banners up there. Several people were holding banners along that upper level and those were the first folks who police really grabbed and ripped the banners out of their hands and some of them were then zip tied and arrested. Now were starting to see that here on the lower level, but i can tell you, just five, ten minutes ago the crowd was significantly larger. Police are really arresting people quickly and taking them out of this room presumably to be processed. So they just amassed there in this in this house office building. Police were not expecting this . Well, its hard to say, but police came here quickly. We were here before this really unfolded and the crowd gathered very quickly and then a couple of minutes later we saw at first a dozen and now it looked like a few dozen Police Officers and we are being told to move a little bit here, brianna, but the police really gathered quickly. They warned people who were there chanting, singing and they warned that they would be arrested and thats exactly whats happening now. If youve been in touch with the organizers behind the group, do you know if theyve had any contact with lawmakers . Have they been able to take their message directly to members of congress . Yeah. There were a couple of congressional leaders, cory bush and Rashida Talib who actually spoke just a little while ago at that rally i was referring to on the west side of the capitol on the National Mall and there were those congressional leaders there, so they have been in touch with them and even monday during the rally that i was at outside the white house they had talked about that they were starting to hear from the congressional leaders. So they certainly have some booms attention and they believe that this could make a difference. This is not going to go unnoticed and it will be seen. The question is what difference will it make, guys . Dave cohen, please keep us updated on what you are watching unfold on capitol hill. Obviously one of many scenes weve seen around the world with anger over whats unfold in the middle east. We want to go to anderson in tel aviv. Here in israel, people search for survivors in the rubble in gaza, that devastating Hospital Explosion in gaza city. President biden was in israel for a historic wartime visit and it was an unmistakable show of unity between israel and the United States, a show of support particularly today for israel at a time of increasing volatility. Hundreds of civilians were believed to be killed in yesterdays Hospital Blast according to the Palestinian Health ministry. Hamas, as you know, blamed israel and blamed the idf and israel says it has extensive evidence and presented that evidence publicly that a failed rocket launched by Islamic Jihad is to blame. The u. S. , the National Security council, currently assesses israel is not responsible, the National Security council made a statement earlier saying that they had looked at their own evidence and came to the same conclusion that israel did. We have regional coverage, and Clarissa Ward is in ashkelon in israel outside the border and ben wedeman is in Southern Lebanon and lets start with clarissa. What have you been seeing, first of all, today where you are, clarissa . Well, its been remarkably quiet here in ashkelon, anderson, perhaps thats because President Biden has been here, but the situation in gaza is still dire. We have been Hearing Strikes throughout the day. There have been reports from one our own journalists on the ground of explosions near the rafah Border Crossing and that is, of course, where everybody is focused now because President Biden did make some news when he said that he had got the israeli side to agree to allow for aid to pass through rafah into the southern part of gaza. The israelis came out afterwards and confirmed that. They said that with the proviso that none of that aid is diverted in any way to hamas. We havent heard any commentary from the egyptian side. Up until now the egyptians have been saying that the issue with opening up that border and allowing some of those dozens of trucks full of desperately needed aid through the rafah crossing was because of continued strikes in the area and fears about the security situation. So a growing sense of urgency, and also a growing sense that possibly we could see not clear on the timing yet, but at some point the free flow of some of that aid into the gaza strip where it is desperately needed as weve been talking about, anderson, for days now. Hospitals are not able to furng, function, no power, no water and one of our journalists report that people are having to boil toilet water and give it to their families to drink because the situation with Drinking Water has become so desperate and some 600,000 people in the u. N. Have been displaced from their homes in the north and moved to the south with no real refuge or respite. So this is clearly a situation where time is of the essence and President Biden saying that the israelis have now given assurance that they will allow it to go forward, but still a lot of questions and obstacles that need to be cleared before we can expect to see those trucks of aid going through the rafah crossing and getting to those people who need it so desperately, anderson. Clarissa, lets also just talk about the intelligence that israel presented earlier today here in tel aviv and also intelligence that seems to be backed up by the National Security council, the u. S. Intelligence community. Essentially israel putting out intercept communication between what they described to members of hamas discussing that this was something to do with Islamic Jihad saying that the Rocket Fragments were consistent with Rocket Fragments from hamas or Islamic Jihadstyle rocket and not something from israel. Talk about what else israel put forward that the u. S. Seems to be backing up at this stage. So the israelis have also put forward satellite imagery. They put forward a detailed map of where they believe the rocket came from, who fired it, the timing of the firing, the intercepts that you mentioned and as you said, the National Security council saying that a preliminary assessment and it is a preliminary assessment, appears to back up israels assertion that this was a rocket that essentially misfired. There are still many parties calling for sort of independent investigation. The u. N. Today said, of course, that they would like to carry out their own investigation. I think more broadly, though, the issue that you have and what we are seeing playing out on the streets in the region and what im sure ben will touch on in more detail that for some people their mind was made up the second that this blast happened and the second they saw the horrors. This is a highly emotional issue. People have chosen their narratives from the get go, and it is very difficult to see how cooler minds can prevail, how information just presented, is capable of changing the minds of so many who feel so emotional, who are often getting the information in snippets from social media, memes and all kind of inflammatory misinformation thats out there. So this is an information war, as well, anderson, and we all do our best to walk the line. Yeah. Facts matter. We cannot independently at this point verify the the assessment made by israel or the nfc. Obviously, we are trying to do our best and working on that. The embassy in beirut just one of the sites of intense protests. What are you seeing . This is the second time within 24 hours, anderson, that weve seen large protests. At the Bottom Of The Hill below the u. S. Embassy which is a mile up the hill behind a Barrier Set Up by the Lebanese Security forces and protesters twice last night and this afternoon tried to break through the barrier, the Lebanese Security forces were Firing Tear Gas and water canons in their direction and eventually the protesters were cleared out of that square at the Bottom Of The Hill by the lebanese army, but of course, thats just one of many protests across the region and amman, jordan, we saw a very large protest in morocco, yemen, istanbul and elsewhere. This has sort of sent jitters through, for instance here in lebanon, the diplomatic community. The United States is now advising americans not to travel to lebanon and has told Family Members of staff at the embassy and also nonemergency personnel that they can leave on a case by case basis. Saudi arabia put out an advisory to all its nationals in lebanon to leave immediately. The uk and france are telling their nationals dont come to lebanon at the moment unless its absolutely necessary, and of course, weve seen a variety of airlines, lufthansa and swissair have canceled flights and the Lebanese National carrier has sent five of its airplanes to istanbul as a precautionary measure because, of course, one of the first things that happened at the beginning of the 2006 war between hezbollah and israel was that the airport was struck by israeli aircraft and taken out of action, anderson . Ben wedeman in Southern Lebanon. Ben, thanks very much. Joining me now to discuss is former israeli Prime MinisterNaftali Bennett who enlisted in the reserves. I appreciate you being with us. I wonder what you made of President Bidens visit here and the message that he sent . Well, it was a very meaningful visit to know that america stands on the right side of history and stands beside israel in our fight against this nazitype regime in gaza with the murder rate, the Severed Heads of little babies because this will be a long and protracted and tough war, and were going to need the time to get the job done. So this is very meaningful. One of President Bidens stated goals about coming to israel was try to deter the conflict from expanding, given the fact of the blast of the hospital and the claims of hamas about it early on and the canceling of the meeting in jordan with others in the region, with king hussein, al sisi in egypt and mahmoud abbas, do you think more could have been accomplished . How significant would it have been for him to have had that meeting . I think a lot of a accomplished, but i do also want to talk about this floating the narratives or the claims. There are no two sides to this hospital. Either it was bombed by israel or it was targeted by someone else on the palestinian side, and you know, if two people come and say one says its raining outside and the other says its dry you dont bring to both sides. Open a window and look whether its raining or not and thats what we did and this hospital, in fact, its a parking lot, was hit definitely, 100 by Islamic Jihad shot fired at 6 59 p. M. We have three different videos from different angles showing it. We have the ballistics. We know that an israeli bomb would have created a crater which does not exist. We know that the propellent in the rocket because it was a longterm rocket targeted for israel, so a lot of that propellent was still in the rocket which created a lot of fire. We have two hamas talking to each other and admitted that it was from Islamic Jihad. So anderson, with all due respect there arent two sides to this and not everything is two sides, and i have a feeling that if it wasnt the state of israel then i think the global media would have behaved very differently. Were simply saying we have not been able to independently verify the claims being made. We have report exactly what israel has put forward and also that the u. S. Intelligence community has backed up, as well and that certainly seems to be what President Biden has also been basing his assessment on and what he said, information from his own Defense Department in addition to israels presenting of evidence. Anderson, i i have to barge in here. I have to say something. You know, i was in 9 11. I was in manhattan when it happened and if a day later al qaeda would have said that its america who perpetrated it, no one would have quoted al qaeda. And you didnt have validation back then that it was al qaeda, but you knew its not america, and somehow theres a double standard here. You had 30 hours to validate. We have all of the information. Everything is transparent. For heavens sakes, to see the headline of the New York Times saying that the palestinians claim that israel bombarded a hospital. We dont do that. Its the palestinian who rape young girls. Its the palestinians who tear apart limbs. Its the palestinians who burn whole families and shoot 5monthold babies. Its the palestinians, for heavens sake, who kidnapped 84yearold holocaust survivors. Its not the israelis. This is not what israel does, and youve had ample time. Do your job and tell the truth. There is moral clarity in the world. Not everything has two sides to it. Naftali bennett, i appreciate your time. Thank you very much for being with us. Thank you very much. It is still unclear up next, well have a detailed Military Analysis of the video that was presented, video and also images from the site of the attack. The analysis of that ahead. The fallout is growing from a deadly blast in a gaza hospital. The u. S. Is refusing to acknowledge israeli demand that the u. N. Secretarygeneral publicly declared Palestinian Terrorist organizations responsible for that blast. We were able to geolocate this video showing the moment of the explosion. Watch this. [ explosion ] lets discuss the incident with cnn Military Analyst and retired fourstar army general wesley clark. General, thank you so much for being with us. So on the question of the u. S. Currently assessing that israel was not responsible for the explosion, walk us through the steps that u. S. Intelligence takes to come to that assessment when theres an incident like this. So you would assemble various data. You would look for Communications Intercepts. Youd look for imagery from overhead. You would look for the bomb crater analysis. You would look for fragments on the ground and youd look for any indicated
