Wade was overturned by justices he appointed. A massive earthquake rocks taiwan, the worst in 25 years, leaving buildings teetering and an untold number of deaths and casualties. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. We begin with International Condemnation of israel for a series of air strikes killing the seven World Central Kitchen Workers as they were delivering food or trying to deliver food. In his strongest criticism of israel since the start of the war, President Biden said, i am outraged and heartbroken by the deaths of seven humanitarian workers from World Central Kitchen, including one american in gaza. Israel has not done enough to protect aide workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians. John kirby just today acknowledging that the president s Strong Language does reflect his frustration. Mr. Biden telephoned World Central Kitchens founder to express his sorrow over the deaths of the seven workers who came from Around The World and among them a dual u. S. Canadian citizen. In the New York Times today, it was written that they were the best of humanity. They are not faceless or nameless. They are not generic aide workers or Collateral Damage in war. World central kitchen said the vehicles they were in were marked with the groups logo. The movements were coordinated with israels military ahead of time. Nbc news confirmed there were at least three separate air strikes on three destroyed vehicles in the entourage over a mile and a half stretch of the coastal road. Israels top general announcing they are based on their preliminary investigation. It was a mistake that followed a misidentification at night during the war in a very complex condition. The u. S. Based charity halted all of its operations there and returned hundreds of tons of aid bound for gaza being sent back to cyrus. Netanyahu writing that, israel deeply regrets the tragic incident and israel is fully committed to enabling humanitarian aid to reach the civilian population in gaza and we will do everything in our power to ensure that such tragedies do not occur in the future. In jerusalem, protesters breaking through security and reaching the entrance to netanyahus home, a heavily guarded home. Thousands of demonstrators had been gathered for the past three nights calling for early elections in israel and a deal to release the rest of the hostages in gaza. Joining me now, raf sanchez in tel aviv and mike memoli. I saw your reports all morning, raf. What did they find . Reporter we mapped out the locations of each of these three destroyed aid vehicles that you have been seeing, the twisted wreckage, over the last 48 hours or so. Our brave colleagues from our gaza crew going physically to the stops where those seven aide workers were killed, sending us back the footage. To be clear, its not like these seven World Central Kitchen aide workers were caught in a crossfire and that they were hit accidentally as israel was targeting hamas. Each of these vehicles was hit individually by what appears to be a very precise israeli air strike. We heard from the Chief Of Staff of the Israeli Military. He is saying what happened here was a misidentification. The Israeli Military mistook these humanitarian vehicles for some kind of threat. He said that happened at night and that it happened in a complex war environment. What he has not addressed the Israeli Military has not addressed so far is this question of, how is it that the World Central Kitchen coordinated the movement of these vehicles ahead of time which they said they did and yet they opened fire. They were driving on this coastal road along the mediterranean. This is a roaddecon deconflicted. Theres going to be a swift and transparent investigation. Israel will public the findings. Right now, there are questions from the white house, from World Central Kitchen, and from the families of the seven killed aide workers. The bodies have just in the last hour or so crossed over from gaza into egypt, the beginning of the long journey home. You also, raf, have been reporting about another incident that happened two days before this strike. What can you tell us about that . Reporter thats right. World central kitchen tells us that two days before the deadly air strike, they believe an israeli sniper opened fire on one of their vehicles. This happened in southern gaza. Nobody was injured in this incident. A bullet striking one of the wing mirrors. Clearly, this raised alarm in real time over the weekend. World central kitchen says it filed a complaint with the Israeli Military. We asked the idf about this incident. We didnt hear back. Assuming that it is true, it really raises questions about the safety of humanitarian organizations, and it may be an indication that what happened on monday with such catastrophic loss of life was not an isolated incident. It may have been a matter of time. The u. N. Says what happened was not an isolated incident by any standards. They point out that around 200 aide workers, the vast majority of them palestinians, have been killed in gaza since the start of the war. That just absolutely shatters numbers from previous conflicts. Its the sad case that a lot of those palestinian aide workers, their deaths not getting the same level of attention as these international aide workers. But it underscores that gaza has been a dangerous situation for humanitarians, for people trying to help, for a long time now. Indeed. I know israel has very strong views about the u. N. Workers. That aside, they have been investigating them and making charges against them. Its controversial. The rest of the world does not agree with that. But no one has ever questioned the independent the lack of any political views from World Central Kitchen. They have worked All Over The World for many years. We know jose from when he founded it. It has never been the case. Mike, we know the president , in speaking on health care right now with Bernie Sanders and others at the white house. We wanted to continue on this subject because of its importance. We will bring it to you if he begins to talk about this, of course. Mike, we heard the strongest language yesterday when the president said that he was outraged and that israel has not done enough to protect aide workers and civilians. Where does the u. S. Go from here . Andrea, we have been measuing the days of daylight since october. We remember the hug when the president came to visit israel after october 7th. He continues to express the u. S. support for israel. Last week at the fundraiser with the three president s, he talked about the hostages who have been not killed. He said massacred. The support remains there. But this the daylight has been growing over time. The question now is, does this represent a potential Breaking Point . The president does have a close personal and, yes, even political relationship with jose. That Statement Released last night came after a conversation present the president and jose. The statement said this is not an isolated incident. We know Virtual Meeting that happened between the National Security team at the white house and the israeli counterparts to discuss the rafah invasion, the potential ground invasion, that the u. S. Has been so strongly warning against and seeking alternatives for. The politics are inseparable. We have two fresh reminders of the political toll on the administration at this point. One, last night the president holding a private meeting with a number of muslim leaders. Our reporting includes the fact that one of the a palestinian man left shortly after beginning that meeting because he said there are not other palestinians represented here. There was also, we should mention, primary elections across the country where once again we saw in two states, connecticut and rhode island, the uncommitted vote in double digit percentage points, in wisconsin as well, 8 of the vote going to an uncommitted. That was a point where some of those who had been leading this in other states focused their efforts. The white House Keeping close tabs on this. Political fallout for Prime Minister netanyahu. We saw the Israeli Police clashing with protesters. I cant recall them getting that close to netanyahus home. That was a big protest last night. Reporter yeah. This was really striking. Over the last couple of days we have seen the largest protests in this country since october 7th. You will remember, 2023, up until the hamas terror attack, was a year of mass protests all over israel. People demonstrating against Prime Minister netanyahus plans to weaken the israeli Supreme Court. Now they are demonstrating, calling for early elections. They are calling for a ceasefire deal to release the hostages. The Israeli Police say this demonstration in jerusalem, near netanyahus residence, turned into a riot. They used pretty serious tactics, charging Police Horses into the crowd at one point, firing water cannons. But it goes to show the real, real political heat in this country right now. Netanyahu is a master of withstanding pressure, both internationally, from the united states, from the u. N. , from other parts of the international community, but also domestically. He does have a majority in parliament. Its a majority that includes the israeli far right. It includes a number of centrist lawmakers who joined his government on an Emergency Basis after the start of the war. So there is nothing that means netanyahu has to go to elections any time soon. But a majority of his country, according to polls, wants that to happen. I want to before i let you go, raf, i wanted to play a little bit of Richard Engel interviewing one of the seven i think shes an israeli woman who we had seen in a number of other places as well on World Central Kitchen operations. This is from march 7th. Raf, i think shes from australia. Had a family, a number of children. Just one of the seven. Reporter thats right. She was an experienced aide worker. Our colleague Richard Engel speaking to her there on the runway of a Jordanian Air base where she was helping to organize some of those aid drops, food being dropped by parachute into northern gaza. We have seen just an absolute outpouring of grief at the deaths of all seven of these aide workers. But especially her. She was very high profile. We are also learning today the identity of the one u. S. Canadian aid worker. He was 33 years old. We grieve for all of them. And all of their colleagues who have been working All Over The World, in puerto rico, during the hurricanes. We have seen them in ukraine, in conflict zones, coming up with unique ways of delivering food, despite being in war zones and in other natural disasters. Raf sanchez, thank you so much. Mike memoli, stay with us. We will talk more politics. Decision 2024.

The president is speaking about Prescription Drug prices. New Wall Street Journal polls shows he is trailing donald trump in six of seven battleground states. Most are within the margin of error. The results show the tightest race is in wisconsin. Yesterdays primary results there raise concerns for both candidates. Mr. Trump lost a chunk of votes, nearly 13 , to nikki haley. Shes no longer running. Shes still on ballot. 8 of democrats voted uninstructed in protest against President Bidens response to the war in gaza. Those 48,000 votes are more than double the president s 2020 margin of victory in the state. Back with us, mike memoli. Joining us, Garrett Haake who covers the Trump Campaign for us. Garrett, the poll is good news for donald trump, but he made a swing through two midwestern battlegrounds tuesday, but his events were not without controversy. You have some examples. Reporter they never are. Several controversies. One was intentional. Continuing to put out more dark and violent language about immigration. Talking about what he calls the biden border bloodbath. We will play some of that sound. On day one i will seal the border and we will begin the larger domestic deportation in the history of our country. If other countries say they wont take them back, were not going to take them back, i will say that, yeah, here they come. Hold on to your britches. Here they come. Theyre coming back. Congratulations. Reporter we have seen trump do on immigration is take his policies, in this case his desire to have mass deportation, wrap them around a specific anecdote. In michigan, it was ruby garcia who was murdered by Police Believe an undocumented immigrant, her boyfriend, who was deported under the biden administration. Trump said he spoke with the family. Her Family Members say they didnt happen. We will try to get to the bottom of this. Whether he is lying or whether he talked to somebody else, we dont know. Her sister told our affiliate that this conversation did not take place. The other unintended controversy is familiar for donald trump in which he was asked about abortion. Told our colleague gabe gutierrez, he would have his plan out, his comments out in a week. Those of us who remember the first trump administration, the in two weeks was the way he would stall on something where he didnt have a policy. Infrastructure. Reporter infrastructure week was around the corner. Perhaps the Abortion Policy will be the same. In this case, he is under pressure to Say Something more substantive on this issue having taken almost every conceivable position on abortion and having his position defined for him by the Biden Campaign. And the florida referendum will put him on the spot. Reporter he will be a voter. The president is pushing for lower Prescription Drug prices. He is slamming former President Trump for he says wanting to cut medicare. Last nights ramadan events at the white house Raising Concerns in the democratic party. Mike memoli, talk to us about that. In my memory, they usually had a dinner, inviting muslim and palestinian arab guests. That didnt happen. They tried to have a meeting. What happened . Reporter yeah, thats right. In addition to the dinner that we have seen at the white house in the last several years, we have seen very large public receptions in the East Room Of The White House in each of the last two years in which President Biden one year making a point of pride to note that this was not a reception that had been held in the administration of his predecessor. For democrats, Coalition Politics are important. The arab American Coalition is critical in michigan. The white house did convene a meeting. There were attendees who declined the invitation to attend. Another man who left very quickly after attending this meeting. This is going to be a continued point of concern for the administration. When you look at those polls today, you have, of course, the Biden Campaign continuing to push back sayi
