1:39 1:41 Olympics good evening to our viewers in
1:41 1:42 the west and thank you for joining us on
1:42 1:45 this Tuesday night we begin tonight with
1:45 1:47 the breaking news that is reverberating
1:47 1:49 around the world when President Biden
1:49 1:51 announced his trip to the Middle East
1:51 1:52 there was hope that his meetings with
1:52 1:55 both Israeli and Arab leaders could
1:55 1:57 result in relief to Gaza and the release
1:57 2:00 of American hostages tonight that hope
2:00 2:02 has faded we're learning new details
2:02 2:04 tonight about an explosion at a hospital
2:04 2:07 in Gaza City the Palestinian Health
2:07 2:09 Ministry saying hundreds of people were
2:09 2:11 killed and many more injured take a look
2:11 2:14 at some of these images women and
2:14 2:15 children in the aftermath waiting for
2:15 2:18 treatment terrified the hospital just
2:18 2:21 hit and overwhelmed now Hamas is blaming
2:21 2:24 an Israeli air strike but Israel is
2:24 2:26 denying responsibility saying their
2:26 2:28 intelligence shows it was caused by a
2:28 2:30 failed rocket launch by the group
2:30 2:33 Islamic Jihad throughout this conflict
2:33 2:35 civilians have taken Refuge around
2:35 2:36 hospitals and schools in hopes of
2:36 2:38 avoiding the near constant air strikes
2:38 2:41 from above and tonight that safety
2:41 2:44 shattered it was just as President Biden
2:44 2:46 was boarding Air Force One this
2:46 2:48 afternoon that he learned his meetings
2:48 2:51 in Jordan cancelled and we're now
2:51 2:53 learning he won't travel to Jordan at
2:53 2:55 all but will still go to Tel Aviv as a
2:55 2:58 show of support for Israel a city where
2:58 3:00 Air Raid Sirens continue to to go off
3:00 3:02 there are a lot of new developments
3:02 3:04 tonight and we have Team coverage from
3:04 3:06 Israel to the White House and we'll
3:06 3:08 start with cbs's Charlie Daga in Tel
3:08 3:14 Aviv Charlie it has been quite a
3:14 3:17 day good evening Nora yes it has and
3:17 3:18 we're still getting details about
3:18 3:21 exactly what happened at that hospital
3:21 3:23 in Gaza as you mentioned Israeli Defense
3:23 3:27 Forces specifically naming Islamic Jihad
3:27 3:29 this is another Islamic militant
3:29 3:32 organization that shares Gaza with Hamas
3:32 3:34 also at war with Israel launching
3:34 3:37 attacks here uh just adding to the
3:37 3:40 volatility we have to warn you that some
3:40 3:45 might find the images in this report
3:45 3:47 disturbing cell phone footage captured
3:47 3:50 the moment an explosion turned an
3:50 3:52 overcrowded Hospital in Gaza into a
3:52 3:53 massive
3:53 3:56 Fireball hundreds are thought to have
3:56 3:58 been killed in what might be gaza's
3:58 4:02 worst single loss of life yet prime
4:02 4:04 minister Benjamin Netanyahu said tonight
4:04 4:06 an analysis shows the explosion was
4:06 4:09 caused by a barage of rockets that
4:09 4:12 misfired by Palestinian militants
4:12 4:16 Islamic Jihad within Gaza I can confirm
4:16 4:19 that an analysis of the IDF operational
4:19 4:21 systems indicates that a barriage of
4:21 4:25 rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza
4:25 4:28 Hamas blamed Israel saying the strike is
4:28 4:31 a result of what they call unlimited us
4:31 4:34 support for Israel it triggered
4:34 4:38 International condemnation Egypt cutter
4:38 4:40 Iran Jordan and turkey among the
4:40 4:43 countries who've denounced the air
4:43 4:46 strike Palestinian president mmud abas
4:46 4:48 who was meeting with the US Secretary of
4:48 4:51 State Anthony blinkin in the Jordanian
4:51 4:54 Capital has declared 3 days of mourning
4:54 4:57 in response to the hospital strike
4:57 4:59 protests have erupted in the West Bank
4:59 5:02 and in Jordan where Security Forces use
5:02 5:04 tear gas to disperse crowds of
5:04 5:07 protesters trying to storm the Israeli
5:07 5:10 Embassy the hospital disaster has only
5:10 5:15 heaped more misery and bloodshed on
5:15 5:18 Gaza where horrific scenes after a
5:18 5:20 series of Israeli air strikes have taken
5:20 5:23 the level of sheer human suffering and
5:23 5:27 soaring death toll to a next
5:27 5:31 level in Rafa terrified children cried
5:31 5:34 out as frantic residents scrambled among
5:34 5:37 the rubble and search for
5:37 5:40 survivors some children unable to make
5:40 5:42 any sound at all CBS News producer in
5:42 5:45 Gaza Maran El goul witnessed the worst
5:45 5:51 of it I saw dozens of killed people and
5:51 5:53 dozens of injuries not enough ambulances
5:53 5:56 no civil defense the people here try to
5:56 5:58 do all of their best to take out the
5:58 6:00 injures by their
6:00 6:04 hunts more explosions sent shock waves
6:04 6:07 of Terror creating more death even as
6:07 6:10 they raced to save lives reigning in
6:10 6:13 Israeli retaliation in an effort to
6:13 6:16 avoid inflaming the entire region is
6:16 6:17 among the biggest challenges facing
6:17 6:20 President Biden as he visits here in a
6:20 6:22 show of solidarity with Israel what do
6:22 6:24 you think about students we spoke with
6:24 6:26 in Tel Aviv are hopeful him actually
6:26 6:29 coming it's not only spoken words it's
6:29 6:32 an actual action which is really
6:32 6:34 important for us we really want this to
6:34 6:38 end as soon as possible and I think it's
6:38 6:41 it will be more possible if we have the
6:41 6:43 support of America with us how important
6:43 6:45 is it to have America's support like
6:45 6:48 this very important we need them as our
6:48 6:52 Ally and um and of course their support
6:52 6:55 for days Israeli troops heavy weapons
6:55 6:57 tanks and artillery have been taking up
6:57 7:00 positions along the front line with Gaza
7:00 7:02 the Israeli Defense Forces say they've
7:02 7:05 mobilized more than 300,000 troops as
7:05 7:07 the military gears up for what it calls
7:07 7:10 a coordinated attack from Air Land and
7:10 7:15 Sea indicating an allout invasion may be
7:15 7:18 imminent but considering how volatile
7:18 7:21 the situation has now become President
7:21 7:23 Biden's visit May mean Israel May hold
7:23 7:26 off pulling the trigger until he's left
7:26 7:28 the
7:28 7:31 region now we going go back to more
7:31 7:32 information that we're getting about
7:32 7:34 exactly what happened at that hospital
7:34 7:36 earlier today Israeli Defense Forces
7:36 7:39 releasing a statement again saying that
7:39 7:41 it was a misfire but then stating that
7:41 7:44 more than 450 Rockets since this
7:44 7:47 conflict began fired toward Israel have
7:47 7:51 actually Fallen within Gaza Nora Charlie
7:51 7:54 Daga in Tel Aviv tonight thank you
7:54 7:57 President Biden is on his way to Israel
7:57 8:00 tonight and as he boarded at Air Force
8:00 8:03 One the trip descended into disarray and
8:03 8:04 there's a fresh reminder tonight of just
8:04 8:07 how fluid and dangerous the situation is
8:07 8:09 there take a look at this shaky video
8:09 8:11 that is actually the German Chancellor
8:11 8:14 lying on the runway in Tel Aviv during a
8:14 8:17 rocket attack the same area where
8:17 8:19 President Biden is expected to land
8:19 8:22 tomorrow cbs's Ouija Jang is at the
8:22 8:25 White House and Ouija this appears to be
8:25 8:28 President Biden's toughest diplomatic
8:28 8:31 Mission yet what can they achieve Hora
8:31 8:33 that tragic Hospital explosion in Gaza
8:33 8:36 has severely complicated the president's
8:36 8:38 trip and it will limit what he is able
8:38 8:41 to accomplish the concern over civilian
8:41 8:44 casualties was already top of mind for
8:44 8:46 the president as was the unfolding
8:46 8:48 humanitarian crisis in Gaza the now
8:48 8:51 canceled Summit in Jordan was where Mr
8:51 8:53 Biden hoped to make progress on
8:53 8:55 establishing a humanitarian Corridor
8:55 8:57 opening up the southern Gaza border
8:57 8:59 crossing to get trapped civilians
8:59 9:02 including Americans out of there and Aid
9:02 9:04 in the president was supposed to meet
9:04 9:06 with Egyptian president lce at that
9:06 9:08 Summit he really wanted FaceTime to
9:08 9:10 convince him to open up the quarter but
9:10 9:13 he continues to resist Nora yeah this
9:13 9:16 trip Frau with not only diplomatic risks
9:16 9:18 but also security risks how is the White
9:18 9:21 House handling those well Secret Service
9:21 9:24 sources tell CBS news that rocket
9:24 9:26 launches into Israel during the
9:26 9:28 president's visit are a real possibility
9:28 9:30 but they stress that there will be
9:30 9:33 plenty of military air support to
9:33 9:35 protect the president and they point to
9:35 9:37 the fact that secretary blinkin has been
9:37 9:39 in the region and under protection for a
9:39 9:42 week now so they know what to expect but
9:42 9:44 blinkin and prime minister Netanyahu
9:44 9:47 were forced into a bunker just yesterday
9:47 9:49 as air raid sirens went off something
9:49 9:51 that you and your team also experienced
9:51 9:54 so it's nearly impossible to predict
9:54 9:57 what could happen Nora WEA Jen thank you
9:57 9:59 very much tonight the US us is
9:59 10:01 reportedly sending an amphibious task
10:01 10:02 force of thousands of sailors and
10:02 10:04 Marines toward Israel right now there
10:04 10:07 are 2,000 Marines in the Red Sea ready
10:07 10:09 to be deployed if needed and that's in
10:09 10:11 addition to the two aircraft carrier
10:11 10:13 strike groups that are deployed to deter
10:13 10:16 Hezbollah and Iran from fully joining
10:16 10:19 the fight cbs's roxan saabi traveled to
10:19 10:21 the border with Lebanon earlier today
10:21 10:24 where there were fresh
10:24 10:27 clashes asbah claims it fired anti-tank
10:27 10:29 missiles from Lebanon into Northern
10:29 10:32 Israel today after Israel said it killed
10:32 10:34 four militants trying to plant
10:34 10:37 explosives on a border wall the crossb
10:37 10:39 clashes are fueling fears that
10:39 10:41 iran-backed Hezbollah could escalate the
10:41 10:43 conflict by opening a second front
10:43 10:46 against Israel CBS News has witnessed
10:46 10:48 Israel's military reinforcing its
10:48 10:50 northern Frontier with many of the
10:50 10:53 roughly 360,000 reservists it's
10:53 10:55 mobilizing across the country we're
10:55 10:58 about 6 miles south of Lebanon here you
10:58 11:00 can see behind me Israeli troops
11:00 11:02 vehicles and weaponry deployed to this
11:02 11:04 area they say they're on high alert in
11:04 11:07 case of more attacks by
11:07 11:10 Hezbollah with tensions intensifying
11:10 11:12 Israel has evacuated 28 communities
11:12 11:16 along its northern border including ifah
11:16 11:19 kibuts around 400 of its residents fled
11:19 11:22 to this hotel in search of safety and it
11:22 11:24 was so quickly and my heart was beating
11:24 11:26 fast matal yogev whose husband has been
11:26 11:29 called up to serve in Israel's Army

11:31 11:34 her fears I brought those kids into the
11:34 11:36 world but the world doesn't deserve

11:51 11:54 Aviv roxan there is so much fear about a
11:54 11:56 widening conflict how do you see this
11:56 11:59 deadly explosion in Gaza impacting the
11:59 12:01 the situation in the North near Lebanon
12:01 12:04 where you
12:04 12:07 were well the reaction from Hezbollah
12:07 12:09 has been Swift tonight they're calling
12:09 12:11 for a day of Rage across the world
12:11 12:13 tomorrow in response to the attack that
12:13 12:16 they're clearly blaming on Israel Nora
12:16 12:19 roxan Saar thank you CBS News spoke
12:19 12:22 today with the mother of a 21-year-old
12:22 12:23 French Israeli woman who is being held
12:23 12:27 hostage by Hamas mem is shown in a new
12:27 12:29 Hamas propaganda video and appears to be
12:29 12:32 injured CBS News is only showing this
12:32 12:34 image from that video as to not spread
12:34 12:37 that propaganda further Shem was
12:37 12:39 abducted along with dozens of others at
12:39 12:41 that music festival where 260 people
12:41 12:43 were slaughtered until the video was
12:43 12:44 released shem's family didn't know if
12:44 12:47 she was dead or alive speaking with
12:47 12:49 cbs's Holly Williams today shem's mother
12:49 12:51 called on world leaders to do all that
12:51 12:53 they can to bring her daughter and all
12:53 12:55 of the hostages
12:55 12:59 home it's very hard to see my daughter I
12:59 13:02 see the pain I see that she's in a
13:02 13:06 physical pain I see she's in Emotion
13:06 13:08 she's very emotional and very very
13:08 13:12 scared do you think that this video
13:12 13:15 might be a sign that Hamas wants to
13:15 13:19 negotiate I I hope so well Hamas has
13:19 13:21 said it wants to swap the nearly 200
13:21 13:24 hostages for the 6,000 Palestinians it
13:24 13:28 says are being held in Israeli prisons
13:28 13:30 turning now to our other top story here
13:30 13:32 in Washington uncertainty and turmoil
13:32 13:34 continues to rign over the House of
13:34 13:36 Representatives Congress is still
13:36 13:38 without a speaker for the second
13:38 13:40 straight week today house Judiciary
13:40 13:42 chair Jim Jordan couldn't wrestle enough
13:42 13:45 votes to take the gavl with 20 of his
13:45 13:47 fellow Republicans voting against him
13:47 13:49 cbs's Scott McFarland has the latest
13:49 13:52 from Capitol Hill Ohio Republican Jim
13:52 13:54 Jordan the right-wing fire brand and
13:54 13:56 close Ally of former president Donald
13:56 13:58 Trump had been jockeying for days to
13:58 14:00 become the new house Speaker second in
14:00 14:02 line to the
14:02 14:04 presidency but today he lost 20
14:04 14:06 defectors inside his own party the
14:06 14:09 speaker has not been elected leaving him
14:09 14:11 more than a dozen votes short of the 217
14:11 14:13 necessary and the house chamber
14:13 14:15 paralyzed two weeks after removing
14:15 14:18 former speaker Kevin McCarthy Jordan
14:18 14:20 said he would try again so we're going
14:20 14:21 to keep working and we're going to get
14:21 14:23 to the votes those who voted against
14:23 14:25 Jordan include moderate Republicans in
14:25 14:28 districts President Biden won in 2020
14:28 14:30 worried Gordon Le house could sink their
14:30 14:32 own re-election chances the nine-term
14:32 14:34 Republican is the face of the Biden
14:34 14:36 impeachment inquiry that has plowed
14:36 14:38 ahead with little evidence the Biden
14:38 14:40 justice department tries to sweep it all
14:40 14:42 under the rug two years ago he voted to
14:42 14:45 block the certification of Biden's 2020
14:45 14:46 win I've never said this election was
14:46 14:48 stolen all I've said is let's check it
14:48 14:50 out and he was in close communication
14:50 14:52 with then president Trump in the days
14:52 14:55 before and on January 6th seen on this
14:55 14:58 White House call lock he went over to
14:58 15:01 the White House house and help plot uh
15:01 15:04 the entire thing he urged publicly uh
15:04 15:07 people uh disgruntled about the election
15:07 15:09 to march on the capitals Jordan has
15:09 15:11 tried to flip those Republicans who are
15:11 15:14 opposing him but it is backfired so far
15:14 15:16 Florida Republican Carlos Jimenez
15:16 15:18 blasted Jordan's Strongarm tactics
15:18 15:20 including having conservative media
15:20 15:21 listeners flood the phones of
15:21 15:23 Republicans with complaints you didn't
15:23 15:25 like the pressure campaign no I don't I
15:25 15:27 mean look if you're a leader people will
15:27 15:29 follow you any concerns you've heard
15:29 15:32 from Members about tactics used to win
15:32 15:36 your vote not the next vote isn't likely
15:36 15:39 until midday tomorrow at the earliest
15:39 15:41 without a breakthrough the house remains
15:41 15:43 paralyzed endangering Aid to Israel
15:43 15:46 Ukraine and a government shut down one
15:46 15:49 month from today Nora incredible to
15:49 15:51 watch Scott McFarland thank you and with
15:51 15:53 Chaos on Capitol Hill we set down with
15:53 15:55 Republican senator Mitt Romney who is
15:55 15:57 not seeking a second term in 2024 and we
15:57 16:00 asked him why he thinks Republicans are
16:00 16:02 having such a difficult time picking a
16:02 16:03 new
16:03 16:05 speaker do you think Jim Jordan is the
16:05 16:07 right Republican to be Speaker of the
16:07 16:08 House well it does seem like the
16:08 16:10 Republicans in the house are letting the
16:10 16:13 Tail Wag the Dog the great majority of
16:13 16:15 the Republicans in the house I think
16:15 16:16 would like to have someone that
16:16 16:19 represents the mainstream of our party
16:19 16:21 uh Jim Jordan represents a small part of
16:21 16:23 the party but a very vocal part of the
16:23 16:24 party and they've been calling the shots
16:24 16:26 he's probably not the first choice I
16:26 16:27 would have made but it's not my choice
16:27 16:29 it's up to them
16:29 16:30 uh whether he'll get the job or not I
16:30 16:33 don't know but if he does get the job
16:33 16:35 it'll be a case of the dog catching the
16:35 16:38 car which is what happens then I mean
16:38 16:39 there are people in my party who go to
16:39 16:42 Washington to bark to make noise not to
16:42 16:45 make law but to make noise I think Jim
16:45 16:46 Jordan would call himself one of those
16:46 16:48 who's got a lot to say and is loud and

1:42 1:45 this Tuesday night we begin tonight with
1:45 1:47 the breaking news that is reverberating
1:47 1:49 around the world when President Biden
1:49 1:51 announced his trip to the Middle East
1:51 1:52 there was hope that his meetings with
1:52 1:55 both Israeli and Arab leaders could
1:55 1:57 result in relief to Gaza and the release
1:57 2:00 of American hostages tonight that hope
2:00 2:02 has faded we're learning new details
2:02 2:04 tonight about an explosion at a hospital
2:04 2:07 in Gaza City the Palestinian Health
2:07 2:09 Ministry saying hundreds of people were
2:09 2:11 killed and many more injured take a look
2:11 2:14 at some of these images women and
2:14 2:15 children in the aftermath waiting for
2:15 2:18 treatment terrified the hospital just
2:18 2:21 hit and overwhelmed now Hamas is blaming
2:21 2:24 an Israeli air strike but Israel is
2:24 2:26 denying responsibility saying their
2:26 2:28 intelligence shows it was caused by a
2:28 2:30 failed rocket launch by the group
2:30 2:33 Islamic Jihad throughout this conflict
2:33 2:35 civilians have taken Refuge around
2:35 2:36 hospitals and schools in hopes of
2:36 2:38 avoiding the near constant air strikes
2:38 2:41 from above and tonight that safety
2:41 2:44 shattered it was just as President Biden
2:44 2:46 was boarding Air Force One this
2:46 2:48 afternoon that he learned his meetings
2:48 2:51 in Jordan cancelled and we're now
2:51 2:53 learning he won't travel to Jordan at
2:53 2:55 all but will still go to Tel Aviv as a
2:55 2:58 show of support for Israel a city where
2:58 3:00 Air Raid Sirens continue to to go off
3:00 3:02 there are a lot of new developments
3:02 3:04 tonight and we have Team coverage from
3:04 3:06 Israel to the White House and we'll
3:06 3:08 start with cbs's Charlie Daga in Tel
3:08 3:14 Aviv Charlie it has been quite a
3:14 3:17 day good evening Nora yes it has and
3:17 3:18 we're still getting details about
3:18 3:21 exactly what happened at that hospital
3:21 3:23 in Gaza as you mentioned Israeli Defense
3:23 3:27 Forces specifically naming Islamic Jihad
3:27 3:29 this is another Islamic militant
3:29 3:32 organization that shares Gaza with Hamas
3:32 3:34 also at war with Israel launching
3:34 3:37 attacks here uh just adding to the
3:37 3:40 volatility we have to warn you that some
3:40 3:45 might find the images in this report
3:45 3:47 disturbing cell phone footage captured
3:47 3:50 the moment an explosion turned an
3:50 3:52 overcrowded Hospital in Gaza into a
3:52 3:53 massive
3:53 3:56 Fireball hundreds are thought to have
3:56 3:58 been killed in what might be gaza's
3:58 4:02 worst single loss of life yet prime
4:02 4:04 minister Benjamin Netanyahu said tonight
4:04 4:06 an analysis shows the explosion was
4:06 4:09 caused by a barage of rockets that
4:09 4:12 misfired by Palestinian militants
4:12 4:16 Islamic Jihad within Gaza I can confirm
4:16 4:19 that an analysis of the IDF operational
4:19 4:21 systems indicates that a barriage of
4:21 4:25 rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza
4:25 4:28 Hamas blamed Israel saying the strike is
4:28 4:31 a result of what they call unlimited us
4:31 4:34 support for Israel it triggered
4:34 4:38 International condemnation Egypt cutter
4:38 4:40 Iran Jordan and turkey among the
4:40 4:43 countries who've denounced the air
4:43 4:46 strike Palestinian president mmud abas
4:46 4:48 who was meeting with the US Secretary of
4:48 4:51 State Anthony blinkin in the Jordanian
4:51 4:54 Capital has declared 3 days of mourning
4:54 4:57 in response to the hospital strike
4:57 4:59 protests have erupted in the West Bank
4:59 5:02 and in Jordan where Security Forces use
5:02 5:04 tear gas to disperse crowds of
5:04 5:07 protesters trying to storm the Israeli
5:07 5:10 Embassy the hospital disaster has only
5:10 5:15 heaped more misery and bloodshed on
5:15 5:18 Gaza where horrific scenes after a
5:18 5:20 series of Israeli air strikes have taken
5:20 5:23 the level of sheer human suffering and
5:23 5:27 soaring death toll to a next
5:27 5:31 level in Rafa terrified children cried
5:31 5:34 out as frantic residents scrambled among
5:34 5:37 the rubble and search for
5:37 5:40 survivors some children unable to make
5:40 5:42 any sound at all CBS News producer in
5:42 5:45 Gaza Maran El goul witnessed the worst
5:45 5:51 of it I saw dozens of killed people and
5:51 5:53 dozens of injuries not enough ambulances
5:53 5:56 no civil defense the people here try to
5:56 5:58 do all of their best to take out the
5:58 6:00 injures by their
6:00 6:04 hunts more explosions sent shock waves
6:04 6:07 of Terror creating more death even as
6:07 6:10 they raced to save lives reigning in
6:10 6:13 Israeli retaliation in an effort to
6:13 6:16 avoid inflaming the entire region is
6:16 6:17 among the biggest challenges facing
6:17 6:20 President Biden as he visits here in a
6:20 6:22 show of solidarity with Israel what do
6:22 6:24 you think about students we spoke with
6:24 6:26 in Tel Aviv are hopeful him actually
6:26 6:29 coming it's not only spoken words it's
6:29 6:32 an actual action which is really
6:32 6:34 important for us we really want this to
6:34 6:38 end as soon as possible and I think it's
6:38 6:41 it will be more possible if we have the
6:41 6:43 support of America with us how important
6:43 6:45 is it to have America's support like
6:45 6:48 this very important we need them as our
6:48 6:52 Ally and um and of course their support
6:52 6:55 for days Israeli troops heavy weapons
6:55 6:57 tanks and artillery have been taking up
6:57 7:00 positions along the front line with Gaza
7:00 7:02 the Israeli Defense Forces say they've
7:02 7:05 mobilized more than 300,000 troops as
7:05 7:07 the military gears up for what it calls
7:07 7:10 a coordinated attack from Air Land and
7:10 7:15 Sea indicating an allout invasion may be
7:15 7:18 imminent but considering how volatile
7:18 7:21 the situation has now become President
7:21 7:23 Biden's visit May mean Israel May hold
7:23 7:26 off pulling the trigger until he's left
7:26 7:28 the
7:28 7:31 region now we going go back to more
7:31 7:32 information that we're getting about
7:32 7:34 exactly what happened at that hospital
7:34 7:36 earlier today Israeli Defense Forces
7:36 7:39 releasing a statement again saying that
7:39 7:41 it was a misfire but then stating that
7:41 7:44 more than 450 Rockets since this
7:44 7:47 conflict began fired toward Israel have
7:47 7:51 actually Fallen within Gaza Nora Charlie
7:51 7:54 Daga in Tel Aviv tonight thank you
7:54 7:57 President Biden is on his way to Israel
7:57 8:00 tonight and as he boarded at Air Force
8:00 8:03 One the trip descended into disarray and
8:03 8:04 there's a fresh reminder tonight of just
8:04 8:07 how fluid and dangerous the situation is
8:07 8:09 there take a look at this shaky video
8:09 8:11 that is actually the German Chancellor
8:11 8:14 lying on the runway in Tel Aviv during a
8:14 8:17 rocket attack the same area where
8:17 8:19 President Biden is expected to land
8:19 8:22 tomorrow cbs's Ouija Jang is at the
8:22 8:25 White House and Ouija this appears to be
8:25 8:28 President Biden's toughest diplomatic
8:28 8:31 Mission yet what can they achieve Hora
8:31 8:33 that tragic Hospital explosion in Gaza
8:33 8:36 has severely complicated the president's
8:36 8:38 trip and it will limit what he is able
8:38 8:41 to accomplish the concern over civilian
8:41 8:44 casualties was already top of mind for
8:44 8:46 the president as was the unfolding
8:46 8:48 humanitarian crisis in Gaza the now
8:48 8:51 canceled Summit in Jordan was where Mr
8:51 8:53 Biden hoped to make progress on
8:53 8:55 establishing a humanitarian Corridor
8:55 8:57 opening up the southern Gaza border
8:57 8:59 crossing to get trapped civilians
8:59 9:02 including Americans out of there and Aid
9:02 9:04 in the president was supposed to meet
9:04 9:06 with Egyptian president lce at that
9:06 9:08 Summit he really wanted FaceTime to
9:08 9:10 convince him to open up the quarter but
9:10 9:13 he continues to resist Nora yeah this
9:13 9:16 trip Frau with not only diplomatic risks
9:16 9:18 but also security risks how is the White
9:18 9:21 House handling those well Secret Service
9:21 9:24 sources tell CBS news that rocket
9:24 9:26 launches into Israel during the
9:26 9:28 president's visit are a real possibility
9:28 9:30 but they stress that there will be
9:30 9:33 plenty of military air support to
9:33 9:35 protect the president and they point to
9:35 9:37 the fact that secretary blinkin has been
9:37 9:39 in the region and under protection for a
9:39 9:42 week now so they know what to expect but
9:42 9:44 blinkin and prime minister Netanyahu
9:44 9:47 were forced into a bunker just yesterday
9:47 9:49 as air raid sirens went off something
9:49 9:51 that you and your team also experienced
9:51 9:54 so it's nearly impossible to predict
9:54 9:57 what could happen Nora WEA Jen thank you
9:57 9:59 very much tonight the US us is
9:59 10:01 reportedly sending an amphibious task

10:32 10:34 four militants trying to plant
10:34 10:37 explosives on a border wall the crossb
10:37 10:39 clashes are fueling fears that
10:39 10:41 iran-backed Hezbollah could escalate the
10:41 10:43 conflict by opening a second front
10:43 10:46 against Israel CBS News has witnessed

12:22 12:23 French Israeli woman who is being held
12:23 12:27 hostage by Hamas mem is shown in a new
12:27 12:29 Hamas propaganda video and appears to be
12:29 12:32 injured CBS News is only showing this
12:32 12:34 image from that video as to not spread
12:34 12:37 that propaganda further Shem was

14:34 14:36 impeachment inquiry that has plowed
14:36 14:38 ahead with little evidence the Biden
14:38 14:40 justice department tries to sweep it all
14:40 14:42 under the rug two years ago he voted to
14:42 14:45 block the certification of Biden's 2020
14:45 14:46 win I've never said this election was
14:46 14:48 stolen all I've said is let's check it
14:48 14:50 out and he was in close communication
14:50 14:52 with then president Trump in the days
14:52 14:55 before and on January 6th seen on this
14:55 14:58 White House call lock he went over to
14:58 15:01 the White House house and help plot uh
15:01 15:04 the entire thing he urged publicly uh
15:04 15:07 people uh disgruntled about the election
15:07 15:09 to march on the capitals Jordan has
15:09 15:11 tried to flip those Republicans who are
15:11 15:14 opposing him but it is backfired so far
15:14 15:16 Florida Republican Carlos Jimenez
15:16 15:18 blasted Jordan's Strongarm tactics
15:18 15:20 including having conservative media
15:20 15:21 listeners flood the phones of
15:21 15:23 Republicans with complaints you didn't
15:23 15:25 like the pressure campaign no I don't I
15:25 15:27 mean look if you're a leader people will
15:27 15:29 follow you any concerns you've heard
15:29 15:32 from Members about tactics used to win
15:32 15:36 your vote not the next vote isn't likely
15:36 15:39 until midday tomorrow at the earliest
15:39 15:41 without a breakthrough the house remains
15:41 15:43 paralyzed endangering Aid to Israel
15:43 15:46 Ukraine and a government shut down one
15:46 15:49 month from today Nora incredible to
15:49 15:51 watch Scott McFarland thank you and with
15:51 15:53 Chaos on Capitol Hill we set down with
15:53 15:55 Republican senator Mitt Romney who is
15:55 15:57 not seeking a second term in 2024 and we
15:57 16:00 asked him why he thinks Republicans are
16:00 16:02 having such a difficult time picking a
16:02 16:03 new
16:03 16:05 speaker do you think Jim Jordan is the
16:05 16:07 right Republican to be Speaker of the
16:07 16:08 House well it does seem like the
16:08 16:10 Republicans in the house are letting the
16:10 16:13 Tail Wag the Dog the great majority of
16:13 16:15 the Republicans in the house I think
16:15 16:16 would like to have someone that
16:16 16:19 represents the mainstream of our party
16:19 16:21 uh Jim Jordan represents a small part of
16:21 16:23 the party but a very vocal part of the
16:23 16:24 party and they've been calling the shots
16:24 16:26 he's probably not the first choice I
16:26 16:27 would have made but it's not my choice
16:27 16:29 it's up to them
16:29 16:30 uh whether he'll get the job or not I
16:30 16:33 don't know but if he does get the job
16:33 16:35 it'll be a case of the dog catching the
16:35 16:38 car which is what happens then I mean
16:38 16:39 there are people in my party who go to
16:39 16:42 Washington to bark to make noise not to
16:42 16:45 make law but to make noise I think Jim
16:45 16:46 Jordan would call himself one of those
16:46 16:48 who's got a lot to say and is loud and
16:48 16:51 barking but actually passing law getting
16:51 16:54 law that's signed not just by members of
16:54 16:56 the house but also in the Senate and by
16:56 16:57 the president that's a different matter
16:57 16:59 and we'll see whether he rises to the
16:59 17:02 occasion if he becomes speaker well you
