didn't bite and sent a stark message

to Israel over it's handling of the

2:35

war in Gaza. He told Cnn the

2:37

Us will stop the shipment of bombs

2:39

and artillery shells. Is Israel launches a

2:42

major A Sense is on a city

2:44

crammed with. Displaced people from going

2:46

around for. A. Month supplying

2:48

weapons as of induce historically do

2:50

with ruff to do with the

2:52

city. Now in recent months, Biden

2:54

has sometimes express concern about Israel

2:56

being over the top in it's

2:58

offensive in Gaza, but this is

3:00

a shift he's publicly shown on

3:02

wavering support for supplying Israel up

3:04

to now and. Beers international affairs

3:06

correspondent Jacky Northam is with Us

3:08

Mouth and Televisa Money Jackie. Money.

3:11

Miller. So let's start with the reaction to

3:13

Bidens Com and for you are in Israel

3:15

this morning. Well, he runs,

3:17

you know, from anger all the way

3:19

to send said Israel's been abandoned at

3:21

a time when A needs us support.

3:23

Our for example, yeah, you're lucky the

3:25

opposition leader said the shouldn't be played

3:27

out in public. I didn't He didn't

3:29

own. A former Israeli ambassador to the

3:31

Un says the government should have ignored

3:33

us pressure earlier and just finished off

3:35

the war as quickly as possible with

3:37

a member. the Knesset is your parliament.

3:39

He said the Us doesn't give a

3:41

smart. Bombs will use done bombs and

3:43

kill more people in Gaza, you know

3:46

and then. There's National Security minister in

3:48

my bank of the Or who tweeted

3:50

that Hamas loves Biden so I spoke

3:52

with a L. Dad says eat and

3:54

he's a former intelligence official in the

3:56

military and now with the Institute for

3:58

National Security Studies. A lot

4:00

of a criticism isn't fair. He views.

4:03

For. United States crossings be admitted

4:05

to the security and they were

4:07

so of for Israel and the

4:09

it's nice to notice as a

4:11

lot of effort so to have

4:14

designed to conduct this ongoing a

4:16

more. A instilled by the

4:18

administration has been more mean. warning

4:20

a Prime minister Netanyahu not to

4:22

launch a major operation and a

4:24

half Us by the military already

4:26

has made smaller incursions is than

4:29

airstrikes in Israeli to seize control

4:31

of the gavin side of the

4:33

border crossing with Egypt's the Us

4:35

to view this is a major

4:37

offensive yet, but Biden indicated yesterday

4:39

it's getting mighty close and Nema

4:41

their a ceasefire talks taking place

4:43

in the Us is involved with

4:45

that. Cia Chief William Burns. Is

4:47

part of those discussions? Is there a

4:49

sense that Bidens comments will affect his

4:51

taxa? On it's

4:53

hard to say There are commentaries in

4:55

the newspaper here predicting that Hamas will

4:57

be less likely to compromise now on

5:00

these talks because it feels that Israel

5:02

is more vulnerable in a more vulnerable

5:04

position now that you know the Us

5:06

is withholding weapon, so it's hard say

5:08

they'll fight and has shown Preet at

5:10

least publicly unwavering. Support. For the Prime

5:12

Minister. Even when the prime minister has

5:14

rejected Us cause for for example a

5:16

two state solution will this threat by

5:18

it is now making change anything. Or

5:22

unit not Yeah. Always come under enormous

5:24

pressure from the Us and other allies

5:26

to curtail the military campaign in Gaza.

5:28

But despite that, he said more than

5:30

once that a will go ahead with

5:32

or without help. Here he is. If

5:35

resumes for sustainable. Visual

5:38

Willesden Normal Israel. Wants

5:40

to take out what it says is

5:42

the final stronghold of Hamas in Gaza.

5:44

and yeah with the militancy, infrastructure, tunnels

5:46

and alike. but you know there are

5:49

more than a million Palestinians squeezed in

5:51

the Raf and dropping two thousand pound

5:53

bombs on the area could have a

5:55

devastating effect and cause extensive civilian casualties.

5:57

And by mention that in at Cnn

6:00

interview the civilians have been killed by

6:02

these bombs and views. Seeker.

6:15

Of the house, My Johnson has

6:17

survived a leadership threat. Yeah. Republican Rep.

6:19

Mark Retailer Green of Georgia made a

6:21

motion to declare the Speaker's chair vacant,

6:23

which any single lawmaker can do. A

6:26

bipartisan vote rejected that. Three hundred fifty

6:28

nine to forty three the most is

6:30

adopted without objection. The most reconsider his

6:33

late on the table. All

6:35

that legislative speak means green Last

6:38

Johnson one and you heard the

6:40

applause and Pr Congressional Correspondent. Here

6:42

to last joins us. Now to talk

6:44

about the answer to that question, steer

6:46

to why did Green call for the

6:48

vote? Is she knew it was going

6:51

to sail. She wanted to make the

6:53

point that the only reason Johnson remain

6:55

speaker is that Democrats voted with Republicans

6:57

to reject her resolution and save him

6:59

for weeks. Green has been arguing that

7:01

the speaker it's is it governing the

7:03

house. As a conservative, she criticize his

7:05

decisions on funding bills but also especially

7:07

the vote to allow the foreign aid

7:09

package to Ukraine would see opposed. She's

7:12

had a couple meetings with the speaker

7:14

trying to get him to agree to

7:16

a series of demands, but he said

7:18

there was no negotiations after failing to

7:20

get any traction with those demands going

7:22

ahead with the vote, even though she

7:24

knew she was gonna lose after Johnson

7:26

allow that vote on money for Ukraine.

7:29

Top house Democrat leader said last week

7:31

they would help republicans kill any procedural

7:33

vote to try to oust him. There

7:35

were ten other republicans who voted with

7:37

Green, but this is the first time

7:39

a speakers had to rely on support

7:41

from. The other party to keep the gamble

7:43

for to sing so many new precedents does

7:45

cause us. So how did Sticker Johnson respond

7:47

to the outcome of the vote? He.

7:50

Told reporters he still committed to his conservative

7:52

agenda and he hopes this puts this chapter

7:55

in the rearview mirror and his party could

7:57

move on. Hopefully this is the end

7:59

of. The personality politics in

8:01

the frivolous character assassination that has

8:03

defined One Hundred and eighteenth Congress.

8:06

That hopefully is the key word there is

8:08

still has a razor thin majority. it's and

8:10

they're still rule that any one member can

8:13

bring up or down the speaker rights as

8:15

possible. A happens again. Why did Democrats. Run

8:17

their support His answer. Hakeem.

8:20

Jeffries, the top house democrats said the

8:22

vote last night was about voting for

8:24

more common sense and less chaos, and

8:26

that Americans expect lawmakers to work together

8:28

to get things done. He said he

8:30

wasn't worried he was gonna regret this

8:32

decision, but he did say he asked

8:34

for one thing in return. The

8:36

only thing we ask of our house

8:38

republican colleagues. And for

8:41

traditional Republicans to further

8:43

isolate. The

8:46

extreme mega republican wing

8:48

of the G P.

8:50

Jeffries. Did predicted. As democrats keep

8:53

focusing on the issues, voters would give

8:55

them the majority in November. I mean

8:57

I wonder is this actually has Johnson

8:59

coming out stronger after this vote? Has

9:02

anything changed for him as he moves

9:04

forward as speaking with it did help

9:06

them rally support among his own members,

9:08

further isolating green republicans. I talked to

9:11

a religious venting about how bad this

9:13

effort looks for the party. Showing divisions

9:15

ahead of the election and other speakers

9:17

is really doing his best is with

9:19

just a super thin margins. They

9:21

were complaining that greens moved steps

9:24

all. Over their efforts to focus on

9:26

other priorities. And stress that Trump

9:28

support Speaker John since Trump did release

9:30

a statement saying he loves Greens. But

9:32

this effort could hurt his prospects in

9:34

November and they're still this rule out

9:36

there that any member can remove the

9:38

speaker. Jeffries was really careful to say

9:41

he wasn't sure whether democrats would help.

9:43

A and Pr is Deirdre was. thank

9:45

you dear to. Thankfully was. Republican.

9:54

Lawmakers have grilled the leaders as

9:57

three school districts over allegations of

9:59

anti semitic. Them in their school

10:01

with the sounds familiar. It's because

10:03

lawmakers previously made headlines for questioning

10:05

anti semitism on college campuses and

10:07

questing university president specifically. it's now

10:10

They turned their attention to K

10:12

through twelve public schools where they

10:14

say the issue is unchecked and

10:16

the as Corey Turner. Joins us now

10:18

to talk about all this. Hi Corey! A

10:21

list so. What can you tell us

10:23

about? Why is these districts? Where A

10:25

call to the hot seat? Yes, there's

10:27

New York City which is the largest

10:30

in the Us plus Berkeley, California Amazon

10:32

Weekend in Maryland which is just north

10:34

of Washington D C. All three have

10:36

been in the spotlight for students and

10:38

in some cases staff saying or doing

10:41

things that could be considered anti semitic

10:43

from the get go. Though these District

10:45

leaders acknowledge these incidents are happening but

10:47

they denied that they are on to

10:50

were pervasive and in fact at one

10:52

point David Banks who heads the New

10:54

York. City Schools actually warned law

10:56

makers of casting aspersions on

10:58

an entire system after all,

11:00

He said some members of

11:02

Congress have made anti semitic

11:04

statements when Republicans pushed, district

11:06

leaders pushed back tears Republicans

11:08

haven't highly of California, accusing

11:10

the head of Berkeley schools

11:12

and Miki afford more cel

11:14

of ignoring anti semitism. If.

11:17

You're not willing to acknowledge that problem, Whites only

11:19

be confident it as being adequately address you. Can

11:21

be confident that I'm their my school's every

11:23

day in the class of and I'm very

11:25

clear that there has been incidents of anti

11:28

semitism and every single time that we are

11:30

aware of such an incense we take action

11:32

now. These fleet up see differently than what

11:34

we saw. The presidents when they testified on

11:37

this issue few months it out, several of

11:39

them ended up resigning not long after. That

11:42

the school leaders pushback pretty hard on

11:44

Republican members, right? Yeah, and I may.

11:47

I don't think Republicans scored any clear

11:49

political points here. The school leaders were,

11:51

actually, at times combat is the most

11:54

heated exchange came with David Banks, again

11:56

the New York City Chancellor. He got

11:58

grilled about his handling. The student protest

12:00

in November at a high school called

12:03

Hillcrest Student They're targeted a teacher who

12:05

had declared her support for Israel after

12:07

the October Seventh Attacks. Bank said he

12:09

found the episode frightening that he had

12:11

removed the school's principal at one point

12:14

republican at least a foreigner can New

12:16

York Thought she had caught Banks in

12:18

a lie. You said he fire the

12:20

principal and it turns out the former principal

12:22

and I was that I find haven't settled.

12:24

You did a member you Can protect The

12:26

Testimonies: Ness Maclean asked you fighter You said

12:29

yeah The principle of who Hillcrest I never

12:31

said. I find the principal to have

12:33

you checked, directors and it when on

12:35

from there are in fact. Bank said

12:37

he had moved the principal to another

12:39

job not running a school. When lawmakers

12:41

demanded to know why the principal had

12:43

not been fired, Bank shot back that

12:45

staff are entitled to due process. And

12:47

what to democrats say throughout the hearing? Will

12:50

they repeatedly questioned Republicans political motives

12:53

for the hearing? Here's suzanne: Been

12:55

a meaty of Oregon. many. Of. My

12:57

colleagues claim to care about the rise in

12:59

anti semitism in this country. But.

13:08

at the time, Donald Trump said

13:10

they were very fine people on

13:12

both sides. Been. A meaty went

13:15

on to with several other things

13:17

Trump is said or done that

13:19

could be considered anti semitic and

13:21

even took a moment to invite

13:23

her Republican colleagues to disavow those

13:25

comments. And there was silence. And
