Ayman, conservative chaos. The Republican Party is in champions over the speakers race and rightwing media has only fanned the flames of dissent. Then, silence. Donald trump has been fined by a judge for violating the terms of his gag order. Jail time could be the next step. Plus, a veteran state Department Official just resigned over the Biden Administrations policy on the israelhamas war. He is going to join me live to explain his decision. I am ayman mohyeldin, lets get started. We begin this hour with several crucial updates on the israelhamas war. Israeli militaries aerial bombardment continues to pummel the gaza strip with more than 4000 People Killed since the war began. This according to palestinian authorities. The humanitarian crises is warming by the hour, with a small aid convoy of food, water, and medical supplies and during the strip just hours ago. Today marks two weeks since hamas militants attacked israel, killing 1400 people and taking 210 hostage. Since then, israel has been threatening a Ground Invasion. Today, its military announced plans to, quote expand operational activities. In the statement, the Israeli Military said its soldiers have been deployed, and are engaging in field exercises and are ready near the gaza strip at this very moment. The Biden Administration, for its part, has largely framed israels aggression on this as a right to defend itself. But outside the United States, some countries have taken a starkly different view. In spain, for example, the minister of social rights called on the Spanish Government to launch a petition for the International Criminal court to investigate Israels Benjamin Netanyahu for allegedly, quote, carrying out a planned genocide on the gaza strip. She went on to say the United States and the european unn are encouraging the state of israel and its policy of apartheid and occupation. In columbi president Gustavo Pedro has compared the conditions in the gaza strip to those of a concentration camp, and called israels continued bombardment of gaza equivalent to a genocide. Today, top officials from more than a dozen countries gathered in the egyptian capital of cairo to discuss how to deescalate the war as fears grow that the conflict could expand throughout the middle east. Here is King Abdullah of jordan. It is really leadership, must realize there is no military solution. To a security concerns. Thats it cannot continue to sideline the 5 million palestinians living under its occupation. The night of their legislative rights and the pages palestinian lives or no less valuable. That is really. In contrast, the United States this week vetoed in the United Nations resolution to condn all violence against civilians. In the war, and to urge humanitarian aid to palestinians in gaza, saying it was too early to craft an appropriate Security Council response to the crisis. The resolution was sponsored by brazil, and had wide support within the body. Despite the veto, after much wrangling over conditions under which relief could be delivered, a 20 truck convoy of lifesaving supplies sent by the United Nations entered the gaza strip today. But that aid was a fraction of what is actually needed. And it is unclear whether more aid will be allowed to pass through in the coming days. Joining us now is haliburton any, live for us in jerusalem. It is good to have you with us. Talk to us about the latest developments there. Obviously, all eyes are on what has happened inside gaza, and the impending Ground Invasion. But as any of the stuff that has taken place in the region today, this summit in cairo, some of the aid coming in, the release of these two american hostages last night, has that given any reason to see there might be a new dynamic unfolding here besides a Ground Invasion . Its interesting, because the hamas spokesperson, or the spokesperson for the house on brigades which is the military wing of hamas, has announced that hamas is ready to release to hostages, even naming. Them but claiming that on the israeli side, they are refusing to receive them. Hamas is saying they are ready to release them tomorrow, sunday. And the Prime Ministers Office in israel is denying that. As far as the aid, you know, you mentioned it with your guest in the previous hour. It is really a drop in the ocean. 20 trucks, of any given day, before this war, up to 400 trucks would go through. As you know, ayman, its not the rafah crossing. Its the kerem shalom crossing inside israel that is typically used for commercial transit. That ones shots. That is the crossing that has a lot of the monitoring, the checking technology, that you would need for large amounts of trucks to cross into gaza. That is not operational yesterdays shipment, there were only 44, 000 bottles of water. That is enough for 22 to 27, 000 people for 24 hours, and no shipments today. So, that really, from a humanitarian perspective, is not at all meeting the needs of the people in gaza. And whats interesting about that peace conference, which was called officially the cairo summit for peace, is that you have the arab countries, very strong speech by the king of jordan, King Abdullah, but the u. S. , for instance, only sent charge daffaires from cairo who didnt even address the conference. In the, and there was no joints communicate because the European Countries and diplomats would not sign a statement that did not explicitly condemn the attacks of hamas. There was some wording there that did not, was something the europeans diplomatic envoys or not willing to sign on to, so, it was, just an opportunity to voice some of these concerns from the arab nations, but it didnt really go farther than that, amen. Hala gorani live for us in tel aviv. Thank you as always. Joining me now is francesca, the United Nations special repertory on the human rights in the palestinian territory. Thank you so much for joining. Us its great to have you with us. You and i spoke that day after the hamas attack on israel, In The Beginning of this war. And it is not that often we hear from human rights experts. I just want to get your sense of what has transpired over the past two weeks, and now that we are two weeks from that say, how do you see the Human Rights Situation that has played out on both sides . The situation surely was, since we spoke, what is unfolding under our eyess humanitarian and political catastrophe. Of epic proportions. And it is humanitarian catastrophe, there are, already, 4300 victims, palestinians killed, and 1500 of these are children. 13, 000 injured. There is over 1 million, 1, 000, 400 displaced, half 1 million are sheltered in schools. There are no water. There are three meters of water a day, when the normal consumption should be 100. And there is no fuel. So, the hospitals, cannot function. There are kids, there are children, newborns, risking to die in hospitals. What is this . Is this really selfdefense . It is absolutely from the International Community is still to pacing whether a ceasefire should be declared or not. To that point, both sides have, both sides have committed war crimes in the eyes of the International Community. Both sides think the other side is committing war crimes that the gate what they are doing. And i think that is a very dangerous situation. But when you look at the International Community, as you, say has the International Rules based system failed at this moment . Personally, i think that the situation, and that nearby palestinian territory, was already evidence of the failure of the International Law based system before october 7th. Because it is the protracted and tolerated impunity of israels actions in the occupied palestinian territory, the colonization, the annexation plan, the blockade of gaza. We are already talking of war crimes. There is no excuse for whats hamas done. And i think i condemned those actions immediately, the first time you invited me here, said there are war crimes and there should be accounted for. But the self defense, under article 51 of the u. N. Charter that israel claims, is not whats happening, because you could see the Evacuation Order of 1. 1 million palestinians from north gaza, to move them south, well of the south has also been destroyed and continues to be bombed. The tightening of an unlawful blockade, which has meant no water, fuel, electricity, and food at such a time, and by the, way the 20 convoys bringing some needed supplies, this is not enough. Before the 7th of october, there were hundreds of convoys bringing in essential supplies. And it was not enough. So, what can we do with 20 . Especially there is no fuel allowed in. So, you can see that from the announcement, from the arguments of israeli leaders, there is an intent to not only eradicate tomas, from gaza, whatever that means, because its very opaque. There is also an intention to push up the palestinians from gaza. And that said, they can go to sinai, well corridors, humanitarian corridors, could be open to the west bank, which is part of the occupied palestinian territory, or to southern israel. And so why do you think they havent done that . The suggestion you say to open a humanitarian corridor to the west bank. Because this is not what emerges from the intention of the israeli political leadership. Their intention is to move the palestinians out of gaza. And but the intention, i also said look at the practice. They are in a fog of war, israel is already ethnically displaced hundreds of thousands of palestinians in 40 7 49, before the war with other countries in may 48, or 300, 000 palestinians had already been displaced, and 450, 000 until 1949. Then, in 1967, another 350, 000 palestinians were displaced, and this is the act of violence that has pushed mass displacement, but theres also the day, the silent knock on revocation of residency permits, and by the way, you know in gaza, sorry, in the west bank and east jerusalem, they are already over 17 palestinians who have been killed, and hurt. Theres communities who have been pushed out as of the 7th of october. So, away from Ethnic Cleansing is the reality of palestinians and. Or let me ask you, because a lot of people have made this point early on the air here in the u. S. , which is what is egypts role in this . A lot of people say, why isnt egypt opening its border . Why isnt egypt letting in more aid and letting the palestinians out . What is the legal obligation that egypt is under here from an International Law perspective . Look. Every state is obliged to ensure compliance with International Law. Particularly, i would, say the most radical issue is to relax the right of Self Determination of the Palestinian People. Egypt, as well as jordan and other countries in the region have absolved a lot of the forced displacement of the palestinians. They are wary that this might happen again. They know that is not the, opening humanitarian corridors. But also, i have been one to get. Expert calling for humanitarian corridors and a day after Human Rights Organizations from gaza telling me, to realize what you are doing . Because we risk to lose the last bits of palestine that remains to us. No matter how unlivable it is. So of course, egypt has responsibility, and in my view, had responsibility before the 7th of october, because it has imposed it has helped israel enforce the blockade. But now, the main responsibility is with israel, and of course, with the parts of the International Community who was sheltering israel from responsibilities. This is a time to act even handedly towards both the palestinians and israelis, and assuring all possible responsible for war crimes from hamas and because really side to justice. Francesca albanese, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I know its been a very difficult couple of weeks. I really appreciate your time, thank you.

More than two weeks since the House Of Representatives losses speaker, and whether the ability to actually do any legislative business or work. With less than 30 days until the next Government Shutdown deadline, theres actually no sign that the Lower Chamber will get its act together and reopen anytime soon. On friday, in fact, House Republicans ditch their lead to speaker pick, congressman jim jordan, opening the field up once again as the country waits for the gop to get its act together. This entire ordeal has already exposed what Michelle Caudle calls the dark flaw at the heart of this congress. In a new piece for the new york times, she writes that right now, quote, the republican conference is failing as a democratic entity. As coddle points out, every healthy democracy needs to accept a basic will of the majority model. Where french factions of rights, but they dont actually get to run the show. Instead, the Republican Party has been shifting towards an anti majoritarian, four down the system ethos, where time after time, the preferences and wellbeing of the many are simply abandoned in favor of the desire of the extremist view. From the Freedom Congress to congressman max gatess group of rebels, two hardliners in the gop, they have, all at some, point taken the house and effectively, our country, as a result, hostage. They are destroying their own party in that process. As politicos Jonathan Martin puts it, there is no longer a cohesive Republican Party. There is a pretrump gop and a post trump gop, living together uneasily. They may be roommates, but they are certainly not married. Lets discuss this now, former democratic congresswoman Donna Edwards of maryland. She is now an msnbc political analyst, and columnist for the washington post. Also, with us, christina greer. Morning public colors here of the city culture new york. Ladies, its great to have both of you with us. Congresswoman, i will start with you. You know, the reaction you have to this world wind week on capitol hill. Youve got congressman jordan now out, several gop lawmakers throwing their hat into the ring, do you believe that, you know, this caucus could actually rally behind a single candidate or the ideological divide is just too stark to be overcome . Well, im not really sure they can. In, fact this is a reminder of the five families of the sopranos. The fact is that republicans have not been able to come together on a speaker. It is not really clear to me that any of the over the last couple of days. Results in a maturity decision by the Republican Party and options for them is to do what Hakeem Jeffries says the democratic leader, is to come together with democrats and republicans who are interested in governing in this really important, crucial time period for the United States and for the world. But i just dont see thats happening anytime soon. Christina, what do you make of that piece that i was talking about a moment ago, this new york times, from the new york times, and the belief that the republican conference is actually failing as a democratic entity, that it is just simply not functioning in the way that Healthy Party should be in a democracy . Ayman, it absolutely is
