The president speaking after meeting israeli Prime Minister netanyahu today in tel aviv. He also made a point to say israel is not alone. The u. S. Stands with israel. The president will address the nation here 8 00 p. M. Eastern tomorrow from the oval office to talk about that war and whats happening in ukraine. Well have complete coverage of that here on fox. The president s visit comes as antiisrael protests are happening in several cities. The Terror Group Hezbollah called for an unprecedented day of anger. Here in washington massive protests at the u. S. Capitol compound called for a a ceasefire. And while israel says it will allow egypt to deliver limited quantities of humanitarian aid into gaza strip. Senior correspondent mike tobin is in southern israel again tonight. Good evening, mike. Mike good evening, bret. An israeli admiral says hamas inflated casualty figures while accused of bombing hospital. The evidence shows behind the hospital and palestinians caused it. A clean up in the aftermath of an explosion at a Gaza Hospital whereby the blood of the most Vulnerable People caught in the conflict was shed. We were just sitting here and suddenly there was an explosion. [explosion] the Hamas Run Health Ministry was quick to blame an israeli airstrike. Israel spent the day countering that narrative. The idf presenting evidence that the blood shed was caused by errant jihad missile. It is 6 59 and this is what happened. An Israeli Television station released footage of the Rocket Launch recorded on their camera. They stay points toward the gaza strip and reveals the rockets were launched from that area. So that is proof of the fact that it came from the gaza strip. Footage from al jazeeras camera appears to show the rocket falling neither Hospital Site and then the fiery explosion. Cctv also caught the apparent failed launch on tape. President biden has signaled support for israels claims. Our Defense Department says its highly unlikely that it was israeli. Now, im not suggesting that hamas deliberately did it, either. Got a lot of shoe string. Israeli Defense Forces released further evidence they say is an intercepted phone call between hamas operatives acknowledging the rocket came from Palestinian Islamic jihad. They are saying it belong to the Palestinian Islamic jihad. Its from us . It looks like it. Despite the evidence, as violent demonstrations flared across the arab world. [chanting] hamas fanned the flames. I call on all people the arab and islamic nations go out now condemning this massacre, this brutality, let this nation stand as one. And the blockade at the gaza strip could be ending with israel agreeing to let civilian aid enter from egypt. Egypts president said some 20 trucks were ready to go. President biden said if the trucks went to hamas, the aid would end. Israel said if the aid went to hamas, the deliveries could be taken. Bret President Biden as mentioned is on his way home tonight after spending fewer than 8 hours in israel on the ground. While there, he pledged his support of israel committing aid money for the palestinians as well. And reiterating that his top priority is the release of american hostages held by hamas. White house correspondent peter doocy has that part of the story tonight live from the north lawn. Good evening, peter. Peter bret, about an hour ago hour ago while Air Force One was refueling in germany. President biden talked to the reporters in the press cabin and he expressed more confidence than anyone we have heard anywhere in the world that those hostages will be freed. Were going to get people out but no detail now. Peter President Biden believes he got a lot done in seven and a half hours. I got no pushback. Virtually none. Let me say it again, i got no pushback. Peter the president s main point making sure 100 million in aid he announced today makes it to innocent civilians and isnt intercepted by hamas. I was very blunt about the need to support getting humanitarian aid to gaza. Get it to gaza and do it quickly. Peter more formal remarks on the ground he highlighted the military might the u. S. Is sending to the region without ever naming iran. The state or any other hostile Actor Thinking about attacking israel remains the same as it was a week ago, dont. Dont, dont. [chanting] peter back in d. C. Several demonstrators were arrested on capitol hill at a protest organized by Jewish Americans calling for a ceasefire. But, despite all the noise, Top Democrats are not convinced. The idea that hamas should remain in place, that there should be a ceasefire after everything they did is very, very bad idea. Peter Progressive Democrats Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib blamed israel tuesday without any evidence for a deadly Hospital Explosion and said thats reason enough for a ceasefire. President Biden Disagrees and says israel can defend itself. There is no rationalizing it. No excusing it. Period. And now for the first time, President Biden is suggesting an Israeli Ground operation into gaza may not happen. We had a long talk about that and what alternatives there are. Peter a few days ago when i asked President Biden what worried him about a potential Israeli Ground invasion into gaza, he said death and as you just heard there, now it may not happen. We are also watching as officials here at the Biden White House shift more towards foreign policies. He is going to give an Oval Office Address tomorrow night 8 00 p. M.

Senior Congressional Correspondent chad pergram has the latest now from capitol hill. Good evening, chad. Bret, geographic. Jim jordan lost ground today. He scored 200 votes yesterday. 199 today. Jordan got a few new supporters but four republicans who previously backed jordan voted for someone else today. Former House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy thinks jordan should stay in the race. I had from november all the way to january to work on winning speaker. Jim jordan has less than 48 hours. I look, i think for the perspective jim as the nominee, let him work through this. Mccarthy needed 15 rounds before members elected him. There were six votes for mccarthy today. And even a vote for former speaker john boehner. Mccarthy thinks jordan can still win, others are skeptical. Carlos gimenez of florida voted for mccarthy. Im pretty confident that the next ballot youll have more people drop. Those numbers to me indicate that he has a really big problem, you know, with our conference. Or that our conference really is looking for somebody else. Democrats embraced jordans defeat. They are trying for democracy in our country delay insurrectionist rejected by the republicans again as their candidate for speaker. But today and yesterday, that was an assault on our democracy as jim jordan assaulted our democracy on january 6th. No vote for speaker until after 12 tomorrow at the earliest, if at all. Jordan will not drop out. Speaker pro tem Patrick Mchenry says he will give jordan, quote, as long as he needs to get the votes. Bret . Bret chad pergram on the hill, chad, thanks.

Bret its time now for Common Ground segment. Joining us is Claudia Tenney and new jersey democratic congressman josh gottheimer. Thank you so much being here its a busy day and everything happening on the ground in israel is taking a lot of the news attention. Congressman gottheimer, let me talk about what you are working on in a bipartisan way and essentially to replenish iron dome specifically for israel. Claudia and i are working on multiple efforts together. The most recent one 113 members of congress joined with us to say that we need to continue to get israels back as a country, as we are right now to make it clear until every hostage is freed and every terrorist is crushed and killed. That we need to continue to support israel. We need to hold iran accountable. We need to make sure we hold qatar and turkey accountable for any of their affiliation with hamas. And so thats what we stood by with our colleagues in a bipartisan way. Bret so the specifics are supplemental appropriations. Operation swords of iron, 2 billion for iron dome kevins system. Counter short range. New funding to run through 2025. Thats a broad view of it. Yeah. Thank you to josh, especially, its almost like our ooffices are together with all this work we are doing in important time and difficult time for people in israel and across that whole region. But right now what we are trying to do is support the iron dome. This is a defensive system that has been phenomenal in saving lives and its going to be running out and were trying to replenish that of course, its going to take time to get that up and running. Obviously these things arent created overnight. And we want to get started on that because we know we are on a timeline and as things continue to progress and unfortunately had a negative right now in israel, we want to make sure that we are working together and strengthening in a very bipartisan measure. Bret we as a country do a lot of trade with israel. We dont talk about it a lot but there is a lot of business back and forth. A lot of people dont understand israel is, ever since we signed a Free Trade Agreement with the country of israel, we have about 49 billion a year in trade 2500 u. S. Firms are active in israel right now industries across the United States and israel that are critical. This is a really important part of our relationship with israel and why we need to maintain this strong relationship and defend this greatest democratic ally that we have in the middle east. Exactly, the democracy in the region, the key historically has been in our partnership to fight against terror, hamas, hezbollah, palestinian jihad, you are now seeing what happened when they are rearing their ugly head. We need to make sure that we are with israel but the depth of the relationship on the fence, on economic relationship, on health, explains why its our most critical ally in the region. Bret congressman, i had one your colleagues on recently Congressman Goldman. And we were talking about the speakers race and, obviously, you know, you are talking about an appropriations act that cant go forward unless congress is going forward. Heres Congressman Goldman. Bret Congressman Goldman if republicans cant get that number would some democrats do you think possibly would just vote to move on. Well, we would welcome bipartisan support in support of Hakeem Jeffries as the speaker. Bret ha ha ha, yeah. We sit here watching chaos and function. Bret thats wasnt exactly Common Ground on that. Fellow new yorker Hakeem Jeffries. Bret gottheimer you are a part and leadership of the Problem Solvers Caucus the democratic side of that there is 64, you know, democrats and republicans. This is a problem. You could solve it if you its not your job as a democrat to support a republican. But you could walk out of the chamber and not be present and suddenly they have a speaker and you could work on your bipartisan acts is that fair to say . We have been working for weeks on finding working on finding Common Ground together and frankly, you know, i believe that if we did a little more bipartisan and agreed to it, some small changes that we can get more Bipartisan Legislation to the floor, i think you would see actually a lot of support from both sides and helping them, obviously its their caucus. Obviously they. Bret its a political thing i get it. By the way i think we could. Other thing we have been working on which im a big supporter of in a bipartisan way is saying listen, they need some more time to work things out. Give them some more time but give Patrick Mchenry who is the pro tem more time to sit in the chair get support for israel, ukraine, American People up and running. Make life more affordable for folks at home there are deals to behood. We have been working a lot together. There are great people like Claudia Cowan willing to sit aty tenney to work things out. Have you voted twice for jim jordan. Fallen short a couple times now and maybe lost this last time. You understand what im saying if somebody leaves the room the number goes from 217 to maybe 21 or fewer and you maybe have a problem solved. Right now it doesnt seem like its getting solved. Yeah, i agree. Not coincidentally but josh and i came in together as freshmen and we signed a commitment to civility by the way in our freshman year. Josh is one of the signers of that to Work Together with republicans and democrats. We both d do that. Bipartisan to put out bills that work in a way. Anytime a group called the reagan oneil club. Equal number of republicans and democrats and its p
