With me here in washington to discuss the us response to the israel gaza war is our North America correspondent anthony zurcher. Thanks forjoining us. President biden had some more strong and very emotional words today. What else did he say . This today. What else did he say . As ou today. What else did he say . Is you could hear there, he also talked about the efforts of the United States is making to try to get any american hostages out of gaza. I think obviously thatis out of gaza. I think obviously that is a very sensitive point for him. I think if theres one thing americans are not going to abide, it is more american bloodshed, and the idea of americans being held captive in a foreign land. That undermined jimmy carter by my Presidency Backin jimmy carter by my presidency back in 1979, and joe biden was definitely around during that and saw what happened to president carter. He also talked about israel following the rules of war. I he wants to avoid a humanitarian crisis in gaza, and then he made reference to having seen confirmed pictures of children being beheaded. I reached out to the white house after that, and a white house official told me that he was referencing Media Reports that he had seen, and that he didnt actually any kind of information that we arent currently privy to. The president arent currently privy to. The president was arent currently privy to. The president was making these remarks at a Meeting OfjewishCommunity Leaders here in the us.

I think there must first of all praise for first of all praise for president bidens response, they stood up and gave him a Standing Ovation in that room. They also expressed concern about Anti Semitism and threats that could spring out of this even here in the United States, and i think one of the messages joe biden wanted to get through, the husband of kamala harris, the Vice President , also was there and wanted to emphasise that the United States was united in its support of israel, that they were going to do whatever they could to help israel, and they understand how hard this is for the jewish understand how hard this is for theJewish Community here in theJewish Community here in the United States. find the Jewish Community here in the United States. The United States. And there has been the United States. And there has been a the United States. And there has been a lot the United States. And there has been a lot of the United States. And there has been a lot of back the United States. And there has been a lot of back and i has been a lot of back and forward i suppose between the Political Parties here, and particularly between the Democratic Party as to how they should be handled, what the official response should be. There are divisions within the Democratic Party in attitudes towards israel and the palestinian situation. In fact a poll earlier this year said more democratic voters were sympathetic to the palestinians in this than to israelis. Now obviously all of that changed on saturday, and there was a pretty much universal outpouring of support for what israelis were facing, but that may have only temporarily smoothed over these divisions, and in fact we are starting to see some democrats speak out more about what the palestinians are having to deal with and the threats to them from israeli reprisals, and thatis from israeli reprisals, and that is also getting some very stern replies from within the Democratic Party. So that is something to watch, going forward, if this Division Within the Democratic Party will make joe within the Democratic PartyWill Makejoe Biden and the white houses response more difficult. {iii white houses response more difficult. , white houses response more difficult. ,. , white houses response more difficult. , difficult.

The white house and the administration is doing what it can now and the white house official said that is enough, they have enough, yet at their disposal to be able to immediately address this, but in the long term something is going to have to go through congress, if the United States wants to continue to provide thorough, broad based support for israel.
