enough tally bennett is outfront tonight. also breaking thank trump on a tirade, lashing out at the judge on the same day that stormy daniels clashes with trump's attorney in the courtroom and a surprise move. prosecutors in the hush money case now opting not to put former playmate playboy playmate karen mcdougal on the stand. how come? let's go out front and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. shockwaves. president biden's threat to stop providing weapons to israel if israel launches an invasion into rafah's populous center is reverberating across the globe tonight israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was firing back at biden after his exclusive interview with us last night lot more. >> if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone. i have said that if necessary, we will fight with our fingernails stand alone. no signs that netanyahu will stand down a

defiance. and his national security minister waking up to new is this morning and israel time posted online, hamas hearts biden with an emoji these fast, furious, emotional reactions because of this very clear statement, a commonly delivered statement from the president of the united states i made it clear that if they go into rafah, they haven't gone in rafah yet. if they go into rafah i'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah i deal with the cities that deal with that problem. it's just wrong. we're not gonna we're not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells and after that, i will show you the front pages of newspapers from around the world. >> had leinz including biden betrayal, joe biden's rafah red line appends us israel relationship biden makes explicit threat to withhold weapons shipments if israel entered rafah, israel fury at biden's threat to cut off

weapons over rafah invasion. turning point or breaking point. biden's pause on weapons tests, ties to israel, and it goes on and on and on. and here in the united states a political upheaval. many democrats support president biden, but republicans and some democrats are bulking aggressively at biden's warning and just listen to former president trump at his hush money trial today. >> biden is doing with respect to israel disgraceful if any a jewish person voted for joe biden up shape of the cells he's totally abandoned. >> israel and nobody can that's her biden. and the white house, they own it. they met what they said and they're not trying to walk the ultimate and back i can assure you that direct and forthright nature with which he expressed himself in his insurance in an interview with erin burnett is

consistent with how he has expressed himself to prime minister netanyahu and israeli officials are let signs is out front live outside the white house tonight our let the white house doubling down on biden's extraordinary and significant warning to israel yeah. aaron, the white house has been fielding questions on president biden's comments to you all throughout the day. in fact, just moments ago, the very first round of questions to white house press secretary karine jean-pierre. we're about out the intense pushback that has been received from the israelis, from lawmakers, republicans and some democrats up on capitol hill to president biden suggestion that he would withhold further weapons shipments to israel if they undergo a full ground invasion of rafah. but really what officials here at the white house have been stressing throughout the day hey, is that what president biden said to you? is what he has been conveying to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, two israeli officials in private for months. now, it really only comes as the

administration has been warning and phone calls and meetings that any major invasion into rafah would not be conducted with the aid of american weapons unless there's a plan in place to ensure the safety and evacuation of the more than 1 million people well, who have sought shelter there so far, administration officials still say, but they have not seen such a viable plan. now, officials throughout the day, we're not trying to walk back these comments from president biden and they said that it should come as no surprise to the israelis as he has made clear in his private conversations that this was his intention, but certainly this is not an easy decision for president biden to go public with this warning to israel today at the white house, we also heard white house spokesperson john kirby pushed back on those who have suggested that president biden is trying to walk away from israel in this moment. what officials are arguing so far he has paused one shipment and it's simply a hypothetical about further shipments going

forward. but all eyes will be on netanyahu who's next steps when it comes to rafah& have president biden will hold up the warning that he issued in his interview with you. >> all right. thank you very much. are latin, of course, the israelis appearing. they say to be shocked and surprised, perhaps that this was made public. perhaps they didn't believe he really meant it. and it's clear now that he does there is backlash on capitol hill now, after this, republicans incensed even some democrats unsettled manu raju is out front president joe biden igniting a capitol hill firestorm with this blunt warning to israel, three go into rafah. >> i'm not supplying the weapons, prompting gop outrage, horribly bad decision. >> this is insane. >> joe biden's de facto position is for a hamas victory over israel. >> and dividing his party between what pro-israel democrats, i'm concerned that in some sense, some way it demonstrates the hamas that there winning the pr war, you

have shown in a tough the hamas& those who accuse prime minister benjamin netanyahu recklessly targeting palestinians. and the war initiated by hamas is brutal. october 7 attack, the president has made clear by his actions that all us military aid is conditioned. >> in this case, prime minister netanyahu has created a humanitarian disaster and he will be held accountable for that. that should not be a blank check to the netanyahu government. >> this will not involved in hamas in any way. hamas is actually benefiting from the fact that the humanitarian crisis is so bad last week, biden prevented 3,500 bombs it was from being shipped. israel, out of fears that it could be used in densely populated rafah, a southern gaza city with more than 1 million palestinians. yeah biden says the us will still provide aid to israel and help us defense against hamas. winning applause

amongst some senior democrats their goal should be to separate palestinian people from mom. >> but should he be telling israel how to conduct its war well we are providing a huge amount of support. this all comes amid the unrest within biden's own party campus demonstrations and protest votes in swing states threatening his chances at reelection. >> he, it's disgusting and disturbing to see president biden continued to play more into election politics. >> yet some vulnerable senate democrats in swing states because he with president's mood. are you comfortable with the president holding shipment to israel, releasing you, do that. why because congress passed it, that was they should put this issue relation, israel is be able to protect themselves. i've made clear from the beginning that israel has the right to exist and defend itself i've also made

clear that humanitarian aid needs to get to gaza and nobody should stand in the way of that. i need to know more about the president's proposal so due supported yet need to know more about the proposal even as he has won some praise from progressive democrats like alexandria ocasio-cortez heralding the president's move. there has been some silence. aaron, amongst them, top quarters of democratic leadership. in fact, chuck schumer, senate majority, the first ever june majority leader of the united states senate did not address this issue at all on the senate floor today, he was asked yesterday about the initial delay of those weapons to israel when he was asked about it, he said that the israel and america had an iron-clad relationship. and he says, quote, if faith and what the biden administration is doing manuel. >> thank you and out front now, former israeli prime minister, enough tally bennett, president

biden, making it clear to me that if israel launches a ground invasion into rafah, into the population center, that the united states will help weapons shipments here's what he said. if they go into rafah, i'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah, to deal with the cities that deal with that problem. we're going to continue to make sure israel is secure in terms of iron dome and their ability to respond to attacks like came out of you i'm not least recently, but it's it's just wrong. >> what do you say to him well, certainly president biden has always been a great friend to israel, but i think this decision is deeply misguided. >> what are we being told here we have a radical jihadist terror organization on our border that's telling us it's going to continue trying to murder as many jews as possible. obviously, we have to get rid of it. we have no choice now, talking about

civilians. if hamas is granted immunity, because it hides behind civilians, that's not only a problem with class, that means that the whole global jihad organizations are all going to adopt human shields as the core waiver of conducting terror. so this would be a profound mistake and we think that we have really no choice and we gotta do what we gotta do so let me just ask you though, because he made very clear to me that some of the weapons that the united states has provided, including those powerful 2000 pound bombs he says, that those bombs have been used by israel to kill civilians in gaza. >> that that has happened. i want to play that exact sound bite for you. >> civilians have been killed in gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population

patient centers are you able to confirm whether us bombs have killed civilians in gaza well, of course, bombs when they target hamas, they're sometimes as collateral damage in all wars, all wars in every urban war in the history of the world, there's collateral damage, especially when hamas is using the civilians as a human shield. there's no doubt but as israel using bumps to target civilians since absolutely not never, we never target civilians in fact, we have the lowest ratio of collateral damage in the history of urban warfare there's about let's call it 30, 32,000 palestinians who died, half of them are terrorists that's one-to-one in afghanistan and iraq, it was one to nine for every terrorists you killed, there were 6789 civilians were bending over backwards in order

to prevent unnecessary deaths. otherwise, we'd get this whole thing done within three days if we didn't care about it so our is not cavalier about this. all right. so are you going to continue? i mean, there was a video just put out by prime minister netanyahu. and what appears to be very clear. >> and aggressive response to biden. >> he says, quote, if we have to stand alone, we will stand alone. and then the idf said, israel has the weapons for rafah invasion. >> my first question to you, i guess on this is a very basic one, or any of those weapons at the idf says that you have stockpiled four rafah invasion, american weapons and stockpile i don't know i assume that some of them are i mean, just i'm not in government right now. >> so do you have any doubt when you hear that that prime minister netanyahu plans to go forward with a full incursion into gaza, into rafah we should done rafah four months ago. i

don't know why this wavering. >> we should have just done it stops talking about it all day. just go and destroy hamas, destroy those four battalions kill the leaders of hamas unless they release the hostages. that's what i would have done. we're doing this way too late, but it's better late than never. and really we have no choice when there's four battalions. just imagine the fund on the border of texas, you had isis that that murdered roughly 50,000 americans kidnap 6,000 americans in a highly populated city in mexico. what would america do what would you do? so we're going to do just that and we have to do it. there's no choice. we don't this is not on the other side of earth. >> this is on our border i'm just doing the math here. if you did that right. so you'd have 50,000 times 17.5 that would mean the united states was willing to kill 875,000 mexicans. do you think we'd really do that?

>> the united states rightfully so during world war ii killed hundreds of thousands of germans, millions of japanese, in order to bring an end to the war, the best way to save lives is to end the war as quickly as possible. this lingering is the problem if we have the backing of the united states, that'll happen. i also want want to say one more thing. >> this partial embargo senza, a very bad message to uv sinwar, the commander of hamas, because if he was going to reach a deal, he'll say i don't need to do a deal anymore because anyway, israel can come into hamas if america is not supporting it moreover, hizballah in the north, all of the terror organizations in the middle east are going to say themselves weight if america is withholding arms from israel, this is a great time to attack israel because they won't have enough farms. so i think this is not the right approach. one more question i wanted to ask you about the response within

your government biden's comments have sparked a lot of anger and alarm. >> clearly netanyahu's national security minister reacted by posting a tweet. >> and it says, hamas heart emoji biden. it was all he posted. i've seen it. you've seen it? >> is that the right sentiment let's a childish and infant response, and i'm certainly not going to defend every stupid thing that any minister says. >> i'm speaking mostly on behalf of mainstream israel, right and left religious, secular we want to be close with the united states of america. we know america's our biggest friend. this is a time where we're being attacked from yemen, from iraq, from iran, from syria, from lebanon, from gaza. this is the time where we need to stand together. sir fight back terror when and get it over with all right. >> well, thank you very much. a

foreign prime minister, enough taliban and i appreciate your time thank you next, stormy daniels going toe-to-toe with trump's lawyers pushing back after hours of cross-examinatio n, did the trump team's strategy backfire and they're paying people to stand in line for hours for them in the hopes of getting a glimpse of what's going on inside the trump courtroom what time did you get here? 12:30 a.m. once you before four wow, a new video, justin of a strike in rafah. >> we're going to take you inside southern gaza house where people are now bracing for the battle allowed the whole myth has to be re-imagined. fee if you didn't know whether you were next they were both tied up? yeah. i was called in and i saw what turned out to be the big stark heist in history he went from gold

breaking news, stormy daniels, breaking her silence after testifying in donald trump's hush money case, taking a clear shot at trump posting online, real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court oh, wait. >> never mind. >> of course, trump is not anticipates take the stand and that post comes just hours after we also saw a very different side of stormy daniels on the witness stand and you it's defined as she repeatedly sparred back-and-forth with trump's lawyer, hitting back at attempt after attempt by the defense to discredit her and disparaged her paula reid is outfront donald trump continuing to fight back today. >> there's no case. >> should never have been brought out as his hush money trial entered its 14th today, his team attacking stormy daniels credibility in a tense cross-examination, you have a lot of experience of making phony stories about sex appear to be real. defense attorney susan nechele is said, wow, daniels replied with a pause. that's not how i would put it.

the sex and the film's is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room. nicholas asked daniels if she made up the story with trump. it that story was untrue. i would have written it to be a lot better. daniels shot back the defense, zeroing in on small inconsistencies and the details of daniel story, hoping to undermine her credibility with the jury, your story has completely changed. nechele is said, daniels and raised voice replied, no you're trying to make me say that it changed, but it hasn't changed. and then they question daniel's earlier testimony that she felt powerless in trump's hotel room, you acted and had sex in over 200 porn movies. nechele said. >> but according to you, seeing a man sitting not abed in a t-shirt and boxer shorts was so upsetting that you got lightheaded. >> this wasn't the first time in your life someone made a pass at you? daniels replied, no, but it's the first time they had a body guard standing outside the door. adding trump was twice her age and bigger

than her when pressed, daniels explained my own insecurities made me feel that way. he did not put his hands on me. he did not give me any sort drugs or alcohol and he did not hold a weapon or hold me or threatened me nicholas, also highly critical of how daniels profited off the encounter, even i'm calling out her strip club tour, make america horny again, daniels responded, i did not name that tore and i fought it tooth and nail, but nechele is said daniels has made nearly 1 million from a book deal documentary, and selling products on her website, you're celebrating the indictment by selling things from your store, right? it nicholas pressed daniels quipped, not unlike mr. trump. trump frowned as photos of the various merchandise were shown before the court. daniels defended herself by saying she did an interview with anderson cooper on 60 minutes for free. >> did you want to have sex with him? >> no. >> but i didn't i didn't say no. i'm not a victim. >> the prosecution later

calling to witnesses who were involved in trump's business, a junior bookkeeper at the trump organization and mellon western, the former director of trump's oval office operations. she confirmed evidence that supports a key part of the prosecution's timeline in an email setting up a february 2017 oval office meeting between trump and michael cohen, which cohen has claimed was to discuss reimbursement for daniels hush money payment prosecutors are expected to call a few more witnesses like those 40 flee to help them bring in evidence before they call the man who's testimony couldn't decide this case, michael cohen. >> and depending on timing, they could call him late tomorrow, but more likely they will want to kick off with him on monday and his appearance on the witness sandi is expected to last at least through the week. >> erin. all right. thank you very much, paul up. ryan goodman, terry austin are back with me. so when you know you warned that the extended cross

exam of stormy daniels, which was a choice, they could be done, they could've gone fast. they decided to sleep on wednesday and come in and try to make this a dragged out thing on thursday and and really humiliate or that's what they tried to do. did it backfire it sure seemed to i think the one word that's been most commonly associated with stormy daniels testimony today's that she was unflappable so she came across very credible and if anything, they went deeper about what happened with the sexual encounter and she comes across as credible and knowing the details and staying consistent in the small minutiae of discrepancies that they find doesn't really undermine the core account that she has given. >> so i think at the end of the day she comes out ahead, which is quite remarkable. given that this was cross-examination by the defense counsel against her, right. >> i mean, tearing and i think they're spending time to did you mean the tiles where this color or that color? oh, my goodness, i mean, that's just in it and it sends and also the bizarre thing for any person. >> but certainly a woman asking a woman apps to actually think you're going to remember that. i mean that was bizarre. it was bizarre and it wasn't just the

way that nichols was asking the questions. >> it was what she was asking to your point, she asked about the floor and what color it was, and she kept harping on these very small issues like will teach you go to dinner because when you were at this interview, you didn't mention that it was dinner. you said it was a meeting and here you said yes, you went to dinner and it was just minutia that didn't make any sense. did you walk to the hotel or did you call the car? and every time stormy daniel's actually had a decent explanation or explanation for the food was it was a dinner meeting. we didn't eat if we had showed up, she said and then there was no food which she thought they might go downstairs. they didn't they sat they're upstairs. she said and no food came? correct. and then for the car, she said she started walking, but then she ended up taking a car. so i think nichols made a mistake trying to get these discrepancies that really were so miner and to your point, i do think that she really held up. well, on cross-examination that she even had a reason for why she took them car because her shoes were to high-heeled

and so she took a car i mean, it i'd reasons for these things. ryan, you felt there was one thing that was sort of under the radar today. >> so i'm going to read exactly what happened in this exchange. >> tell me why it matters so this is the prosecution when you're on redirect and stormy daniels. so she's asked by the prosecution, do you recall that his attorneys, mr. trump's attorney, in court papers in june of 2018 confirmed that donald trump had reimbursed michael cohen's company, essential consultants for the hundred $30,000 that was paid to you in 2017? data centers? yes, i saw that prosecution. so that was confirmed and mr. trump's submitted court papers, correct? she answers correct. okay. put that in english so it's really remarkable now it's thinking that there'll be a moment in which the prosecution would try to enter this into the evidence, and this is what they did so there is a civil bunch of civil cases that are going back-and-forth between stormy daniels and donald trump in california and in 2018, don't trump's submits a court filing

in which he admits to most of the facts in this case and the facts that he admits to is he pay repaid, that he reversed. >> so in $400,000 for hush money to stormy daniels pursuant to the nda so that's all that's that's the scheme. and just to contrast it with the opening statement by donald trump's lawyer, todd blanche, in this trial, todd blanche in this trial says to the jury, you're going to hear that there was no reimbursement what happened today? they just said, well, donald trump himself in a court filing in 2018 and california, so that he did reimburse him and that's really deeply the way for me to say someone else did that filing or he didn't sign it or he didn't know. this isn't a court filing and under oath sort of equivalent. >> yes. and it's just and it is donald trump is hits his representation in that court, and it's the statement that he made. and also i should say not only did he make it in the court, but there's then a subsequent court opinion in california and it actually says we consider that to be an

admission by donald trump so let me ask you that as a follow-up to that though, a reimbursement at this goes back to one of the key things in this case, righteous is when you reimburse somebody for business expense or a legal legal fee, it's a one for one. >> but that's not how this was accounted for. that's already been established that this was accounted for. they did it doubled to account for taxes. how does that fit? >> well, one of the things that the press fusion is trying to say is that they entered all of these payments as retainer agreements and that michael cohen was giving them legal advice. and in fact, it was reimbursement for this hush money. so it's inconsistent. i think that helps the prosecution and it hurts the defense. and i do think it's something that's slipped under the radar. how does it fit? this admission to a reimbursement with what we saw in the documentation with geoff mcconney that showed gross up and double the amount to michael cohen. do those two these two things fit? >> absolutely. they completely fit because that is actually mcconney as the control of trump organization and weisselberg as the cfo in their

handwriting being down the true scheme, the true underlying scheme, which is as terry just said, it's a reimbursement and then they're grossing him up times two and then mcconney actually writes for taxes. and what is the predicate crime here that can make this a felony that they were doing it for taxes. that was committing tax fraud because on their tax papers, they were not saying that this was a hush-money payment. there was thank legal services. that's why he earned twice the amount. >> so now it's all there. it's just getting donald trump to know that he knew that that piece of paper happened, but that grows up happened. that's right. >> and that's what we're going to see if they are able to prove with this crucial michael cohen who we anticipate coming at any moment out to the court. all right. thank you both very much. next, we're just learning prosecutors will not call karen mcdougal, who also claimed to have had a long-term second 12 relationship with the former president. they will not call her to the stand why many had t wld? >> ronan farrow has reported extensively on mcdougal's relationship with trump ease out front and caught in the crosshairs more than 1 million refugees and rafah are bracing

ronan farrow, contributing writer for the new yorker, who's done incredibly extensive reporting on trump's hush money payments wrote the book, catch and kill, lies, spies, and a conspiracy to protect predators. and ronan is so great to have you back. so you broke the news about trump's alleged affair with karen mcdougal for the new york or that was in 2018. so you broke that news as a journalist, you're also of course, a lawyer why do you think she is not being called to testify in this case in the first days, her name was front and center, if anything uttered more than stormy daniels well, we carried the first on the record, comments from a google about it in the first detailed account of that affair, the wall street journal had also done excellent prior reporting where they acknowledged that the transaction had happened, that the allegation of the affair existed out in the world this is very much something a lot of publications contributed to meaningfully. >> now, in terms of this particular witness not making it into the case, it makes a

lot of sense with the way that the prosecution has structured this for the jury. they've started out by laying out the part of the story that karen mcdougal would have at featured in her alongside another story that we've broken the new yorker about a door man who was paid off to conceal a rumor about a love child those figure in this scheme that prosecutors say was undertaken with ami, the publisher of the national enquirer, to cover up unflattering stories during the election and that's step in the story is necessary for providing contexts so that by the time you get to the testimony we've seen this week, where they're talking about what exactly happened with stormy and the transactions between michael cohen and stormy daniel and their allegation that those were disguised, those were concealed you need to know the preceding information. now, it makes a lot of sense that they ultimately chose to go with david pecker, the former head of ami because he was the one who was in the room for the hatching of those schemes. so

they're selecting him over. karen mcdougal as a voice who could actually speak to that intent very directly, i think was a smart player by ultimately and crucial& because trump of course, was at that meeting as they laid out with david pecker. >> now, karen mcdougal post to fixture on social media over the weekend of your book reading your book. >> and she writes in the post quote, reflecting. so she's relaxing the bath of the glass of wine and your book reflecting what, what, what did you interpret as you saw that well, you know, it's it's some expertly judged shade right at the heart of this trial, where people know that she is one of the examples that goes to this case. >> prosecutors are making for intent where she was as prosecutors acknowledged today, on their witness witness list she was very much in the air as a name that was mentioned a lot during this trial. for her to post with her bubble bath and joining yourself on a saturday night with a book on this subject is obviously something pointed. and there were a lot of chuckles about it in circles

around this story so we know michael cohen is going to be coming up really any day tomorrow or monday paula reid is reporting that he will be the last big name. >> in fact, it to be called by the prosecution and it's expected to last all next week, which of course we're going just to be clear, that would be three court days now, you talked with him many times for these stories in recent years, how do you expect his examination and cross-examinati on are going to go, right? this is what it all comes down to well, one of the weaknesses in this case for prosecutors is that when they actually grilled the trump organization, folks who were involved in bookkeeping they had to concede that they didn't have knowledge of trump directly ordering the covering up of these payments. >> it all went through intermediaries and prosecutors would argue that's by design, that the effort to cover this up that is at the heart of this case, to some extent, worked but nevertheless, they need a

connecting voice, someone like michael cohen, who could say donald trump actually knew about this and ordered it and so cohen is indispensable to the prosecutor's case. he also presents challenges. michael cohen has admitted to lying to congress in other contexts. he's also been very noisy in a way that has alarmed prosecutors. he tweeted not that long ago. hey, i'm now going to shut up so they're hoping they can make the most of him as a witness. >> all right. rohan, and thank you very much. great to see you. >> always a pleasure. all right. >> next we do have new video into out front. this is a strike. we are learning of in southern gaza people screaming for help. there are no ambulances it'll take you to the region next adjust in israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. now speaking out about where things stand right now when it comes to his relationship with president biden we've had our

disagreements. we've been able to overcome them. i hope we can overcome them now trump hush money trial gavel to gavel coverage. the weight only cnn can bring it to you. legal insight expert analysis, and real-time updates live from in the courtroom. follow the facts, follow the testimony follows. cnn. i was born with wings, but psoriasis swooped into clip them a crushed my confidence, but no longer will psoriasis get a piece of me i'll can love my skin again with benzoic only been xilinx targets and block i'll 17 a plus f to calm inflammation, i can control my plaques and start getting myself back in xilinx helps adults with moderate to severe psoriasis control plaques to deliver clearer skin fast for results that last i will give myself back the freedom of shorts standard where black again, from head to toe most people got one hundred percent clear skin, saw him after the first dose serious side effects

from the rubble. >> one man is heard yelling. there are no ambulances to help the wounded in rafah. clarissa ward is out front in jerusalem tonight, and clarissa, president biden sent shockwaves around the world. of course, when he issued this ultimatum to netanyahu, he also so admitted that american bombs were responsible for the deaths of palestinian civilians in gaza. what has been the reaction in israel well i think erin, this really was a pretty stark admission even though those of us who are following this conflict very closely, no that us bombs have then killing palestinian civilians to hear the president express that we have seen amnesty international has released a number of investigations it's over the past few months where they have found us munitions at the site of strikes where dozens of people, many of them civilians, have been killed. >> we have seen of course, the video, the aftermath that these 2000 pound bombs, which have

left honestly much of gaza looking like a sort of move enscape, if you will. but it was that ultimatum to netanyahu that really has here in israel talking, we have seen very strong reaction comes from a number of officials, prime minister netanyahu himself saying today that if israel needs to go it alone, we will saying that we will fight if we have to win our fingernails. we also heard from war cabinet minister benny gantz who said, quote the us it has a moral and strategic obligation to supply israel with the necessary tools to complete its mission. we heard from far-right national security minister ben-gvir veer, who just posted on x saying hamas hearts, biden, but perhaps most importantly, we also heard from idf spokesperson daniel hagari ray, aaron, who said that this is not going to change things essentially. and that the idea of does have the weapons it needs to continue its fight in rafah, aaron took though and do

it alone with the stockpile that they have for prime minister natalia been assigned me assumes that many of that stockpile is also us weapons, but ones that israel already has. this comes down to clarissa the agony and the suffering in gaza and the more than a rep million refugees and rafah who have sought refuge there. how dire is this situation now for them the situation is absolutely dire. >> we are seeing a number of aid organizations who are really sounding the alarm bell 1.4 million people have been hunkered down in rafah somewhere between 8,150,000 people we'll have already evacuated since the idf started this latest operation. but the places that they're being evacuated to al-mawasi, for example, these so called designated safe zones simply don't have the infrastructure or the space to support them. and perhaps most crucially

these books border crossings aaron, which are a very limited but vital lifeline to get aid into get personnel aid personnel and to get fuel in according to the un no trucks have been passing through kerem shalom rafah is closed according to the israelis, dozens, the state department said um, we just don't know and very tellingly, we saw a really stark warning from the un humanitarian chief martin griffiths. he took two who acts as well, and he posted a longer posting basically that they have not been able to get anything in in three days and talking about the impact of that, no fool fuel for generators for hospitals. and he finished with this one line. our teams are stuck. civilians in gaza are being starved and killed. and we are preventing, we are prevented from helping them this has gaza today, even after seven months of horror, aaron, course.

>> so thank you very much. live from jerusalem of course, of course, has spent time in gaza in this horrific war. it all happening as the complicated relationship between biden and netanyahu is now coming to a head oren liebermann is out front an airtight embrace between world leaders in the days after october 7 has given way to barely contained anger, a personal and political fight decades in the making president joe biden has more than 50 years of history with israel, dating back to 1973, i've worked with every prime minister of israel from golden from a year right through to the present prime minister, he first met prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the 80s, biden, a young senator on the foreign relations committee, where or not in israel, the united states of america would have to invent israel. israel's longest-serving leader than working at the embassy in dc the relationship has more often than not had some friction. >> i signed a picture long time for vb he's been a friend for over 30 years as a baby. i

don't agree with the damping is saved, but i love you but we really are good friends. >> biden has long been seen as a pro israel democrat. he surged aid to israel after october 7 and signed off on congress's supplemental designating $14 billion for israel under president brought like obama, biden was seen as an asset, able to work with netanyahu. but the tension between biden and netanyahu burst into the open last year when netanyahu tried to push through a major judicial overhaul like money strong support, israel, i'm very concerned i'm certain that they get this straight it cannot continued on his throat even so never before has it spilled over like this. >> i've made it clear to bibi and the war cabinet. they're not going to get our support. if in fact they go on these populations in an exclusive interview with erin burnett, biden said the us would not supply bombs to israel if it invaded rafah were more than 1 million palestinians have sought refuge when walking away

from israel's security. rockaway, israel's ability to wage war in those areas. >> biden has grown increasingly frustrated with netanyahu telling his advisers that the israeli leader is ignoring his advice the relationship may be beyond repair it can't get better as long as mr. netanyahu was in power, what may happen is that these differences could be mitigated alleviated, but that would be only a temporary relief seven months into the war, the us openly opposes the israeli ground invasion of rafah one, netanyahu promises is still coming me. >> third lot more if we need to stand alone, we will stand alone. >> i have said that if necessary, we will fight with our fingernails. >> the short statement posted on social media didn't mention biden but it didn't need to adding to the tension between the two liters is prime minister benjamin netanyahu's internal domestic politics. and that's because of the far-right flank of his

coalition. they have threatened his government if there is a ceasefire and the war stops. so aaron, for netanyahu, months of war is not a threat to his government ceasefire may be all right. >> oren. thank you very much next, a special report on what it takes to score a spot inside trump's trial i've been here since 11:00 p.m. last night. >> you haven't slept with sleep every piece of evidence tells a story how we really happy? jesse l. martin, sunday's at nine on cnn well done, viv you've got the presence, the balloons, and the raptor jake now how about something to put a smile on your face has been dental provides complete, affordable care with dentists and labs in one place plus free exams and x-rays for new patients without
