good afternoon, thank you for staying with our special coverage of the israel-hamas war. i m andrea mitchell in washington, where there is breaking news. the state department confirming in the last hour at least 22 americans have been killed in the conflict so far. that update coming just minutes after president biden doubled down on his strong comments supporting israel with remarks at the white house. this attack has brought to the surface the painful memories and scars left by anti-semitism and genocide against the jewish people, and this moment we have to be crystal clear. there is no justification for terrorism, no excuse. we re also learning that secretary of state blinken will be traveling to israel this afternoon with a delegation that includes steve gillon, the special envoy for special hostage affairs. this hour we ll check in on capitol hill where a deeply divided house republican conference could be one step closer to selecting their next speaker. . joining me

We know how to help Israel win, but the war will likely take months and many will denounce Israel. Will President Biden and Congress demonstrate the necessary resolve?
