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. He decided to go into the government, into the war cabinet effectively to ensure that netanyahus running of this war wasnt held hostage to the far right elements in his government and as a result, its important to understand that the way that the war has been playing out has been a result, not just that Prime Minister netanyahu and his broader cabinet, but really the decisions of the war cabinet, which include what one might refer to as slightly less rightwing voices, whether its Defense Minister yoav gallant or benny gantz himself. All my Defense Minister in order to ensure that the conduct of israel in the war is done in the best interests of the country. But recently there have been growing concerns that netanyahus Decision Making is really being overly influenced by the farright members of his broader Coalition Government that has led us to these words from benny gantz this evening, in terms of his six point plan, he has effectively given netanyahu, the Prime Minister, a deadline of june the 8th saying that the cabinet needs to come up with a plan that would achieve the disarming of gaza and elimination of hamas to bring back the hostages, to establish an alternative gaza that would not be run by hamas or fatah. The palestinian faction that is run by Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas bring back the residents of the north. Of course, there are Tens Of Thousands of israelis displaced from the north as a result of attacks from the iranian proxy, hezbollah in Southern Lebanon and also of course those in the south as well. And also as part of that plan, benny gantz is insisting that this progress with normalization with the saudis as well. But i think the key point here, frederica, is that benny gantz wants to see substantial progress, substantial evidence that netanyahu is putting the National Interest ahead of his own personal interest or, and ahead of those files . All right elements in his Governing Coalition for your mega. All right. And elliott israel has also said that it had recovered the body of another hostage from gaza. What more can you tell us about that . Thats right. This is 50 threeyearold ron benjamin. He was out on a bike ride on october the seventh and when he was in a junction just slightly to the east of the northeastern tip of gaza when he was killed by hamas and his body was abducted back into the gaza strip. Thats according to the idf. Now, they say that they recovered his body along with those of the three other bodies of hostages that were recovered on thursday evening that were announced on friday. And thats still leaves some 124 hostages being held by hamas in the gaza strip who were kidnapped on october the seventh, around a quarter of them are already believed to be dead. And i think as im speaking right now, protests are again taking place in central tel aviv, in other cities across the country to try and put more pressure on this government to do whatever it takes to bring the remaining hostages home, especially the living ones, because the big fear is that the longer this war drags on, the longer but these Hostage Negotiations which had have another impasse, drag on, the less likely it is that their loved ones will be returned alive and that the most they will be able to hope for is that their bodies can be recovered, such as the body of ron benjamin, 53 yearold father of two, whose body was recovered on thursday night, and which was announced today. Fredricka. All right. La it got ken. Thank you so much all right. Lets talk more about all these developments. Now lets bring in Lieutenant General mark hertling. Heres a cnn Military Analysts and former commanding general of the us army, europe. All right, way. Well, lets begin with this ultimatum. I mean that a war cabinet member would give an ultimatum to the Prime Minister. What does this tell you about what is happening its a very unique situation. Fredricka, benny gantz is currently has the title of minister without portfolio. Many people wont remember this, but Prime Minister netanyahu pulled him into his government even though a gantz has been in direct opposition to everything that netanyahu has done over the last couple of years and ran against him for Prime Minister. Just a few years ago hes a former Defense Minister and chief of the idea. Hes an extraordinary tactical leader. I was able to meet them one time, but in talking with others whove had more conversations with them, they say he is an impressive strategic leader, and i would say he solidly grounded by ethics and morality, something that seems to be missing in the netanyahu government is execute this war. He is motivated by whats best for his country. He has stayed silent thus far, but now he speaking out and i think its very good that hes doing so its going to cause a lot of tremors within the netanyahu government because they cant afford to lose his support you said hes a pivotal strategic leader, then on what does this ultimatum that hes giving the Prime Minister mean about the ongoing strategy in gaza. I mean, theres a june 8th deadline, but what will happen in the interim . Well, what what hes doing, i think you could almost say its an indirect relationship to what President Biden and other National International leaders had been telling netanyahu, you cant execute this war just by killing and be unbounded by it. Theres got to be some thing that happens at the end of the conflict that the end of the killing, yes. Its great. Weve got to go out. They have the Israeli Government has to go after hamas. They have to kill the terrorists are captured them. But theres gotta be more in terms of the end state its part of the Holistic View of warfare. Fredricka, you just cant hand how the military go out and execute unbounded operations. It has to be tied to a political objective. And so far, mr. Netanyahus government has not even verbalized what their political objective is for gaza, other than destroying hamas. And when youre talking about over 2 million in people that live there, you have to have a Security Agreement and understanding of what happens after the war is over, to take care of the citizens and a potential rebuilding capability, even though hamas has basically built their strategy around, theyre using the civilians and not caring about this to of gaza to execute their strategy against israel. Now with israels military going back into northern parts of gaza. And we also hear from reporting today that many palestinians who were in the southern part are starting to make their way north because of this threatened Ground Offensive in iraq alpha, israel is also losing that global pr war here what do you suppose is going . Where does it give . I mean, what do you suppose the next steps can israel can afford to happen . Im going to change your words a little bit. Fredricka, if you dont mind, theyre not losing the international pr fight. They have lost it. Theyve lost it long ago in terms of the way theyre conducting operations, you will get a lot of Military Leaders who will say this is the right way to do things in terms of killing hamas, terror chris and i agree with that. But you have to have a counterbalance to that in terms of protecting the citizens and doing the kind of Counterinsurgency Operations that will go after the tourists. But well also not destroy infrastructure and kill innocent civilians. So israel is in a a really bad place. They have been for quite awhile. And that in fact is the strategy of the hamas to not only kill israel, but make them world pariahs through their Public Relations campaign. And israel is falling right into that trap. So theyve got to change the way theyre approaching this. And this is what President Biden has been telling them over the last several months. All right. Lieutenant general mark harlan. Good to see you. Thanks so much thank you. All right. You today in this country, President Biden is in atlanta where he is holding several 2024 Campaign Stops this weekend its part of a larger push to engage black voters who helped propel biden to the white house in 2020. And as part of his visit, biden is set to give the Commencement Address at Morehouse College tomorrow, even as some students say, they are frustrated by the white house has support for israels war in gaza i exist as more than a prop for a photoop. You completely dismiss us by calling us violent, by calling us antisemitic. And you know in no way, shape, or form are any of us antisemitic dont want him to hit, come here and campaign. I know hes going to told somebody some of his accomplishments. I know hes going to talk about so many things hes gonna do for black people. Im expecting to hear that, but also want to hear authentic speech about why hes here for us. All right, cnns Arlette Saenz is here with us right now, are let great to see you traveling with the president. All right. So you know how is biden planning his speech too . I guess reshape it, listening . Into some of the student body who says, these are our grievances, these are are concerns. At the same time, we dont want to hear a political speech, but hes on the Campaign Trail simultaneously. What do we know about how the president has reshaped read tabulated his speech. Well, fraud, President Biden and his team have really been working on this speech for weeks trying to take into account the concerns of students they are well aware of the frustrations among some students and faculty on campus when it comes to the president s handling of the conflict in gaza. In fact, they deploy the director of the White House Office of Public Engagement steve benjamin, to Morehouse College just last friday to meet one on one in the Small Group Setting with faculty and students to talk about their concerns. Im told that about half of that over to our meeting actually focus on the issue of gaza. But the other issue at hand is that this is a commencement speech. The president s advisers that ive spoken heading into the weekend acknowledged this is a moment so celebrate the future African American leaders that will be leaving Morehouse College tomorrow is graduates. And they also want to take into account issues that are of concern to them. There has been some concern among students that some of the attention thats been focused on gaza and the frustration with the president might overshadow the events of tomorrow, but his advisers say that they will be keen focusing in on the issue that they believe matter to students, but it does come at a time when biden is really trying to shore up support among black voters in just a short while we expect him to make a Campaign Stop to meet with black voters. Hes also hosting a fundraiser here today. Tomorrow. Hell be trying traveling on to detroit to speak at an n double cp dinner. But it comes at a time . Yes. Black voters were a core part of bidens coalition back in 2020. But if you take a look at recent polling has supported is actually been narrowing with that group, but New York Times poll and Battleground States found that biden earned about 63 support from black voters, while trump had drawn about 23 . Thats a real narrowing compared to 2020. And georgia, of course, is also a critical Battleground State Bite embarrassingly one here back in 2020, if you take a look at the polling now, trump is leading biden here among registered voters by about ten so the Biden Campaign acknowledges that they have work to do in Battleground States like georgia, where in the past biden really put together this Diverse Coalition of voters and leaned heavily on the black vote. They acknowledged they have a lot more to do to win over black voters heading into november. And they believed that the formula for that will be one reminding voters of what biden has done an office, but also trying to draw a sharp contrast with the former president and in what he could offer in a second term, the Biden White House knows that it cant afford to lose the black vote. It cant afford to lose the youth vote. The Younger Voters as well. And a lot of Younger Voters have made their voice is very clear whether it be through the protests on College Campuses or perhaps even talking about their frustrations about the economy on tiktok just take a listen can somebody explain to me and crayon eating terms why i make over three times the federal minimum wage. And i cannot afford to live and i do not want to hear the pool yourself up from your bootstraps work 90 hours a week. Thats not the goal, guys ill see you just going on and his grocery stores. This is my simply one as simply two dont simply lay away i mean, the frustration is palpable, right . So i mean the Biden White House has to find a way to engage with Younger Voters who are expressing their frustrations just like that, yeah. And the issue of the economy is really an issue that affects all generation, right . Youve seen the Biden Administration really trying to highlight some of the bright spots when it pertains to low unemployment as some rising in wages. But you still have americans who dont feel like theyre doing that much better in their pocket books, in their Bank Accounts when theyre trying to pay their bills each month. Is that is a struggle that the Biden Campaign has had basal particularly since biden announced that he was running for reelection. But you see the campaign the campaign and the white house trying to talk about things that they are tackling to try to help voters there when it pertains to junk fees, lowering junk fees, trying to cancel student debt. But there is some disconnect with the way people are feeling. And that includes extending to young voters who really make up a critical part of the voting block and have shown some discontent about biden and his policies. All right. Arlette saenz.
