Trump racked up more wins on saturday, he claimed nearly 85 of the votes in idahos republican caucuses compared to just over 13 for rival nikki haley missouri is republicans also held caucuses on saturday, trump commanded a whopping one of that vote. Trump now has 247 delegates compared to haleys 24 jams. Steve contorno has more former President Donald Trump held rallies on saturday in North Carolina and here in virginia, two states that will vote on Super Tuesday but even though their primaries are right around the corner, former President Trump was mostly looking ahead to a likely General Election with President Biden. He spoke especially about his recent trip to the border and what he saw bidens conduct on our border is by any definition a conspiracy to overthrow the United States of america thank you. You know, he talks about democracy he is a danger to democracy he is. Number one, it goes after his political opponent, which nobodys ever theyre done in this country. They do it in third world countries very well. They do it. But then i can to succeed with us. Theyre not going to succeed. Making a stronger its Making A Strong Biden and his accomplices want to collapse the american system, nullified the will of the actual American Voters that established a new base of power that gives them control for generations. Meanwhile, former South Carolina governor nikki haley, on the Campaign Trail as well in North Carolina, continuing to make the case that she would be more electable than President Trump in a General Election, pointing to a new poll that showed her with a tenpoint lead over President Biden. I think theres another they are times poll that shows us. I think donald trump squeaks by and we went by ten points. If you look at the hispanic numbers in that, its off the charts. Thats double digits continue to make ground trump on saturday, also adding to his delegate lead over nikki haleys projects that he has won all 32 delegates in the idaho caucuses. All 54 delegates in the missouri caucuses. And at a Michigan Convention held on saturday, 39 more delegates were awarded two President Trump. His total now at 02 47. Well, on his way to the 1,215, he will need to secure the nomination. Of course, many of those delegates will be awarded on tuesday steve contorno, cnn, richmond, virginia. Oh, you wanted to tell you more about New York Times and Siena College poll. Steve mentioned a moment ago, it surveyed 980 registered voters during the last week of february in the results were concerning for President Biden, only 18 of respondents thought that theyve personally benefited from bidens policies meanwhile, 40 of respondents say they did personally benefit from trumps policies. Still, cnn poll of polls shows the race for present, a toss up at the moment. The most recent numbers and a General Election matchup continue to show no clear winner between the two with trump at 48 and biden at 46 were now, trump is trying to turn his focus to the general Election Campaign and President Biden, during a stop in North Carolina, the former president call himself a dissident and made a series of false claims about the multiple legal issues hes involved in area every time the radical left democrats, marxist, communist, and fascist indict me, i considered a great badge of honor im being indicted for you. I am. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I stand before you today not only as your past and hopefully future president , but as a proud political dissident and as a public enemy of a rogue regime. This is a rogue and Dangerous Machine now, trump is currently facing dozens of criminal charges in four different cases. There are election interference cases at a federal level, and in georgia, hes also been indicted for his handling of classified documents and proceedings get underway later this month in his new york Hush Money Case meanwhile, donald trump is cozying up to autocratic leaders like hungarys nationalist Prime Minister viktor orban, or ban is due to visit maralago trumps florida home this week. A lot like writer tom nichols spoke to cnn about that earlier and he says, other european leaders, or take note here, yes. I think were already hearing it from european leaders that they fully expect that if trump is elected, that nato will be on the chopping block. The russians will be able to do in trumps words, whatever the hell they want that their security will be endangered, which means eventually our security will be endangered. Unlike americans, i think the europeans are actually listening to trump and taking him seriously and believing what he says about what hes going to do. I think in the United States we have a normalcy bias. We just sort of wave it away and say nothing could ever really get that bad things cant change that fast this time around. I mean, trump got really close to some of this the last time around this time around he he has people around him who have figured out how to work the levers and turn the knobs. And thats going to be incredibly dangerous. Us first lady, jill biden is ramping up her role in her husbands reElection Campaign. She went on a threeday tour of key battleground states, launching women for Biden Coalition in a light on friday, she fiercely criticized former President Donald Trump, warning that he could be a threat to women if he returns to the white house. Shes had trump has quote, spending a lifetime tearing us down and devaluing our existence. But the first lady was interrupted several times. I pro Palestine Protesters while campaigning in arizona on saturday, less ill protesters were interrupting the first lady, the first us airdrop of aid was on the ground in gaza three american c13 is dropped, 66 bundles of food over gaza on saturday. But President Biden says the amount of aid going into gaza is not nearly enough. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is due to meet with israeli war cabinet member benny gantz on monday. Now it comes as a us official tells cnn that israel has quote basically accepted a sixweek ceasefire and hostage release proposal in gaza. Now, negotiators are waiting for hamas to agree to a quote defined category of vulnerable hostages on saturday, gazas ministry of health. So at least 11 palestinians were killed in an israeli airstrike in Rafah Refugee Camp next to a maternity hospital. Israel says it was targeting Islamic Jihad terrorists and terror infrastructure. That group is now urging attacks on checkpoints in the west bank and jerusalem during ramadan the palestinian Islamic Jihad spokesman also calling on palestinians to block roads used by israeli settlers. Cnns Paula Hancocks has more on whats happening in gaza we are expecting more aid airdrops over gaza in the coming days. This after what we saw saturday, the us and the Royal Jordanian air force dropping aid along the coastlines of gaza now the us said that they dropped 66 bundles. That was 38,000 meals. No water or medical supplies in this air drop, but they say that they did consider it successful as they were monitoring the area afterwards and said that they saw civilians come out to take the aid and then distributed it. Now jordan and the uae have already been doing airdrops over recent days, and we know that other countries are considering whether this is the way to try and get desperately needed aid into some of the hardest hit areas of gaza. But we are hearing from some humanitarian aid groups this is not the ideal way to try and get the aid in. They say, in fact, one called it a bandaid measure to try and help those desperately in need. Of course, once the aid lands in gaza, there is no organized distribution, there is no control over who gets this aid and theres no guarantee that it will get to those who desperately need it. What were hearing from humanitarian aid groups from the un agencies, and weve been hearing this for months. Is that israel needs to lift restrictions on what gets into gaza restrictions at the crossings and restrictions of transporting the aid of round the gaza strip wants it is inside. We heard also from us President Joe Biden saying that he was going to insist to israel that they had to allow more humanitarian aid to get in. There is also questions as to why other crossings between israel and gaza have not been opened. In particular, one that is closer to gaza city and Northern Gaza, which is an area where very little aid has managed to get through now, one thing that all humanitarian aid groups agree is that a ceasefire would allow them to get humanitarian aid into to where it is needed. Now we have heard from a Senior Biden Administration official that the sixweek ceasefire has basically been agreed by israel at this point, but we do also know we heard from qatari officials this week that there are still details to be hammered out. Weve heard from israel that they want list of hostages from hamas and also which are alive and which are not. Now, we understand from this Senior Biden Administration official that effectively the ball is in hamass court there waiting for hamas to respond. Were also hearing from two sources familiar with the negotiations that these negotiations will continue in cairo. So we are expecting representatives from the us, israel, hamas, and egypt to be talking in cairo, although we dont have an exact timing of that, israel and hamas obviously not talking directly, but in separate rooms. We understand from these sources. So there is some hope that a ceasefire, no matter how temporary may be in the offing in coming days Paula Hancocks, cnn, abu dhabi the death toll from that tragedy and aid convoy in Northern Gaza thursday has risen to 118 according to the gaza health ministry. Now this idf video from the scene showed a huge crowd of desperate people swarming an aid convoy in gaza city. Witnesses say is really course is opened fire hitting civilians and sending the crowd into a panic and he trampled or run over by the aid trucks. Doctors reported dozens of dead and wounded with bullet wounds. Israeli military has a different version of events saying its forces fired Warning Shots to disperse the crowd and criticized any reports of deliberately targeting civilians lossless im not going to if we had secured this operation, this humanitarian operation was carried out by us, not the claim that we attack the convoy and injured people deliberately is baseless. Mushroom. The Un Security Council issued a Compromise Statement on saturday expressing deep concern over the incident. The u. S. Objective to earlier versions of the statement. All right. Want to bring in orlando, whos a deputy editorinchief of the haaretz newspaper, and she joins us now from tel aviv. Thank you so much for being here with us so the deaths surrounding the Aid Truck Delivery in Northern Gaza, just the latest flashpoint, but this one has really resonated international only because so many diets were who were there just, just to get food. Do you have any faith that the israeli investigation will be fair well kim thank you for having me obviously the pictures that we saw from that incident were horrible and yes, there are different claims on who actually caused the deaths, but its clear to everyone that the main reason that this happened is because of the situation were in right now where there is no ruling force in gaza because of the war and because israels one of israels main goals is to weaken hamas and destroyed all of its infrastructure. So obviously the chaos that were now seeing is part of that wider framework. Im sure the army will investigate. I can tell you 100 that all the internal investigations are oh, objective investigations. Of course, this is truly no to any country investigating or any authority investigating itself. But still the Bigger Picture is that the problem is the current political wider situation in gaza. Well, lets talk about the wider situation then. Youve argued that this incident just high i liked the fact that Prime Minister netanyahu needs to end the war. Now, you say, before gaza becomes somalia, what do you mean by that so this is from our latest editorial actually calling to end the war now. And you know, were seeing what once kitchen, i think it was kissinger once said that israel doesnt have a Foreign Policy on a domestic one. And on the domestic political level what happened been recently now in gaza doesnt seem to change a lot and the wider picture. But on the other end, we are seeing more and more israelis taking the streets just last night, for example, calling for a political solution, for a political deal. We are seeing more and more israeli voices claiming that there should be a political solution. And today, were actually seeing that the negotiations between hamas and israel are resuming and cairo under much more international and internal pressure to end, or at least pause this war in the meantime, the need is obviously so great. So the us now is airlifting aid in, but many are asking why cant the us just use its influence to force israel to allow more aid in via the front door and trucks so as i said, we are seeing more internal and of course, much more International Pressure to do exactly that and also move forward with the political solution rather than the military one but we still have to remember that in terms of these rarely point of view, there are still three main goals for this war, which is to weaken or destroy hamas infrastructure and freeing the hostages, which is the main one. And this is, of course, you know what the negotiations are about and also a vaguer goal which is preventing any threat from gaza into long term while you know, we are discussing the question of humanitarian aid, that the question whether the whole war will stop or hold at least depends on how the Israeli Government could convinced also the israeli public that these goals are met beyond the effects on israel and gaza. This is having a Spillover Effect on domestic politics here in the us in an Election Year, youve argued that the war in gaza is quote here in feebly biden there, thereby bolstering trump. Why is that . And what choices does biden truly . We have here . Well, i think any american or any other person following what we signed the primaries in michigan saw that the question of the war in gaza was pretty intense during these primaries. And what happened is that we saw more and more or criticism towards biden on this specific issue of his policy here in the middle east. So gaza is becoming more, more of an issue not only for the israel and the media listen for palestinians, but also for americans and their internal elections and while the Gaza Question is weakening, maybe biden internally in his own party, it could actually strengthen donald trump will have to leave it there, but really appreciate getting your analysis. No light, no. Thank you so much. Thank you thousands of israelis have completed a four day march demanding the release of hostages still in gaza, they began at the site of the nova Music Festival where hamas militants killed more than 360 people on october 7 and they ended in jerusalem families of hostages, former hostages, and survivors of the october 7 attacks all join the massive demonstration. Israeli officials believe more than 130 people are still being held captive in gaza, including two children 99 of the hostages are sti
