This is what rafah looks like right now after Israeli Forces say taken over the gaza side of the crossing between egypt and the gaza strip. Thats a very far shot. Ainsley this action comes despite President Biden telling Prime Minister netanyahu not to launch an offensive in the city. Steve Madeleine Rivera joins us right now with the very latest. Maddy . Good morning, guys. Idf says limited Operation In Rafah isnt over as its tanks roll into the city. The Israeli Military says it killed 20 hamas militants and found three tunnels. This comes after the Israeli Military called on Tens Of Thousands of palestinians to evacuate the city and head for humanitarian zones along the mediterranean coast. The u. S. Says it opposes a large scale Military Operation in rafah which Officials Say would risk the safety of more than 1 million palestinians taking refuge there. Now, the Wall Street Journal is reporting the u. S. Has delayed the sale of more than 6,000 weapons to israel. Per the Wall Street Journal, the State Department never followed up with congress about the official notification of the sale and that triggered a pause with the deal. When asked about the reported pause and arms shipment, National SecurityCouncil Spokesperson didnt confirm and said only this. For Israel Security remains ironclad. Im not going to get into the specifics of one shipment over another. And new reaction this morning coming in from egypt regarding israels Operation In Rafah. Egypts Foreign Ministry says it do threaten ceasefire efforts. Steve, ainsley and brian. Steve all right, madeleine, thank you very much. We will talk about that after another fox news alert. Antiisraeli protesters clashed with Police Officers on the streets of New York CityLast Night Disrupting The Star studded met gala and caused chaos and traffic jams citywide. Ainsley some of the demonstrators could be seen defacing a World War I Monument in central park and even going as far as burning an American Flag at the base. Brian Brooke Singman all over this she has the details. At least two gozzen of those antiisrael protesters were arrested after a mob of about 1,000 people marched towards the met Gala Chanting and clashing with police on their way. Watch. [chanting free, free palestine] but they were met by nypd officers who prevented them from entering the museum and disturbing the star studded event. Meanwhile at nearby central park demonstrators burned American Fleag in Front Of A Memorial Honoring World War I soldiers. Plastering the memorial with propalestinian stickers. Spray painted the word gaza on the base. Civil war general. Protesters spray painted red letters onto the bronze statue and draped the palestinian flag over it. Eventually New York CityPolice Officers surrounded the parks monuments and the nypd removed that palestinian flag from the statue. Today, President Biden will deliver the Keynote Address at the u. S. Holocaust Memorial Museum at the u. S. Capitol. Guys . Steve brooke, thank you very much. We have been waiting to hear from the president regarding antisemitism, he did say last week that peaceful protest, they support that, but, when its not peaceful, thats a bad thing. But, as you look at the images from last night, you know, its one of those things, the met gala is this annual event where celebrities gather they pay 75,000 a ticket to go to this thing although most celebrities dont pail for it just to show how fantastic they are. And all of the papers this morning here in new york are filled with the latest. What wearing last night. We can hardly wait to see it. And stuff like that. Outside, we are going to see this straight through the election. This kind of demonstration, where its like hey, Biden Administration, stop it with the israel support and thats one of the reasons maddy brought up the Wall Street Journal said its 6500 have been canceled. Lay off gaza. What made everyone so mad yesterday it stopped traffic. The thousands of people are walking up and down park avenue. Chanting all of this burning American Flags, defacing our statues. World war i statues. Say free palestine. Putting the palestinian flag over the soldiers. This is what our streets look like. Look, there are the stickers on the soldiers. Defacing General Sherman statue in front of park hotel. Met gala in the 80s. Spray paint and disrupting traffic. I was watching some of this these protesters are moving through traffic. So there weresteve on the street. Ainsley its not peaceful at that point. People cant get around. Steve its dangerous. Brian you have a former president of the United States in the middle of a trial who says this case has got to end. Only going to get worse even before the met gala. A president the United States who doesnt say anything set. Going to speak today at the Holocaust Museum because holocaust remembrance day, fine im sure islamophobia also bad, too. What you have to understand these people were coming out, ripping down signs of hostages. The day after october 7th, when people were putting up after the massacre that killed over a thousand innocent people and took over 200 hostage. They were putting up signs in commemoration of the hostages who were taken or killed. People that were killed. And they were ripping it down. So new york is burning flags, defiling our monuments and, add this the vile names theyre calling our cops. The chants they are doing, they should not be allowed to get away with. Big story today how the nypd in particular, im sure a force near you, is totally overstretched between columbia, School Of Parsons design of all place, the new school, the nyu and city college. They are spread out trying to pull up encampments, pull back because they have got to worry about being asked in and got to worry about the trump trial, escorting the former president in and out of court. The protests around there. We cannot do this. They are really concerned about whats going to happen this summer. This is not the only place where there is campus unrest. Steve in fact. A lot of these protesters that you are looking right there at started at Hunter College in new york. And then marched to the gala. Brian, you made a perfect transition to the university of North Carolina. At chapel hill where apparently the Students For Justice In Palestine there, what they have done is they have reached out to all the professors and all the Teaching Aids and everybody else. They have called on the faculty to withhold all of the final grades for all of the students until their demands are met. And, among other things, they want amnesty for any student who is arrested. They want them to take down that fence around the flag pole. Remember the flag where everybody was singing God Bless America and starspangled banner . They want the Flag Pole Fence taken out. And they just want ultimately, for anybody who took part in the protest at the university of North Carolina not to get in trouble, even though i understand the 15 students have been banned from the university for two years. Ainsley and some of the professors are saying we will just withhold grades. We wont give our Students Grades until you promise us amnesty for all the protesters who have been arrested. Columbia university canceling large Graduation Ceremony over security concerns. There are 11 conservative judges wrote a letter to the president of the columbia said they are not going to hire law clerks from columbia saying they lost confidence in that institution. Columbia an incubator of bigotry. As a result columbia has disqualified itself from educating the future leaders of this country. Brian a line from the charlie journals a group of Faculty Members say they will withhold their scores until the University Reinstates 15 suspended students who were arrested along with 36 other nonstudents during last weeks demonstrations so so that reason that john rich is starting that concert to salute that fraternity stood up and sang the national anthem. Going to call it flagathon or flag stock. Is he going to call it flag stock. Putting it together now. Steve i love that. Brian North Carolina can not give. In this faculty cannot be running the asylum. Now in the University Of Chicago the same thing. The faculty says arrest us, too, if you are going to break up the encampments which are being fortified. University of california santa cruz, they are fortified there. They have all these demands about divestment and disassociating themselves with jewish organizations. Every one of these schools should have the courage and backbone to stand up to your professors and say you are fired unless you get back to work and go to the students that deserve respect. Steve well, ultimately these professors have got to decide who they work for . Do they work for the university of North Carolina that pace their salary or do they work for the students who they are supporting . The administration at Uny Chapel Hill made it very clear hey, anybody thinking about Withholding Grades you are the going to get in trouble. The Provost Office will support sanctions for any instructor who is found to have improperly withheld grades. Its our hope we can resolve this matter amicably without harming students. The statement they put out a lot of these kids graduating future employers need to note grades. You cannot hold these kids hostage to your political agenda. Ainsley and, meanwhile, President Biden, like you said, not mentioning any of this yesterday. You have donald trump who comes out of the court and he says that the most important day in america will be on november 5th. Brian right. Ainsley election day. Then he says our country is a mess. Brian just a quick word on what is going to be happening the next few hours. Hamas signs off on a peace deal that doesnt exist. Have to go into rafah. When we hold off on zawahiri and bin laden because the rest of the world was getting tired of our action in afghanistan. No. 20 years later no one ever condemned our action in afghanistan. Even though sometimes we did kill civilians, in iraq. Same thing. Would we have held off on he will baghdadi or held off on zarqawi because people were getting tired of our operations in iraq . No. I dont think israel ever condemned us for going off too long in Cordoning Off Hamandiyah or new jersey. Instead you have the nexus, the headquarters, sinwar bin laden of this organization, four sitting in rafah and you want Prime Minister netanyahu back off. We will be back here in 18 months after another massacre of innocent people. They have go in. Ainsley fighting back. They have more than 100 hostages still there. Brian we are preventing them from getting weapons that Congress Gave them. Steve so, yesterday, we didnt hear from joe biden about this, but a reporter did ask our Vice President the number two person in charge what they thought about what was going on between israel and hamas, and she responded shrimp and grits. Ainsley coming out of the Restaurant Holding up doggy bag, you want to know shrimp and grits. Brian chance to lead, she blew it again. Nothing new. 15 minutes after the hour another big story. A few hours from now former President Trump is set to appear back in a New York City courtroom as we hit day 13 of his ongoing criminal trial. Ainsley eric shawn is live outside of the courthouse with what we can expect today. Hey, eric. Eric good morning, ainsley. Send me to jail. Thats what former President Trump says. Daring judge juan merchan for threatening about that
