Is expected to appear tuesday for an arraignment and phoenix unless he has granted a delay by the court hello again everyone. Thank you so much for joining me. Ive heard Rica Whitfield and we begin this hour with break the news. Israeli war cabinet member and former deputy Prime Minister benny gantz delivering an ultimatum to Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, saying he must choose between victory and disaster, and telling him the war cabinet must agree on a plan for the Gaza Conflict by June 8th Gantz is threatening to leave the Coalition Government if netanyahu does not meet his expectations, cnns Elliott Gucken is in tel aviv for us and were here now that theres a response from netanyahu there is a response from Prime MinisterBenjamin NetanyahusOffice Deriving Dismissing benny gantz as words, as washed up words, and saying the gantzs plan would result in a defeat for israel against hamas and also the abandonment and all the hostages who were abducted by Hamas On October the seventh, of course specifically what ganz has plan is calling for is all efforts to be made to rescue the hostages, to bring them back to israel. And also, of course, to defeat hamas at the same time. So what i think were seeing beyond the specific effects of these words is that the divisions that were underground, if you like, that managed to keep a lid on these divisions over the past few months, these have now come out into the open just the other de we heard from defense minister yoav gallant explicitly criticizing the Prime Minister for not coming up with a coherent plan for the day after gaza and how that is running the risk of resulting in these victories that israel has had in the gaza strip being for nothing. And weve seen, for example, hamas regrouping in northern parts of the gaza strip where israel had previously said that the job was done. But going back to benny gantz words and its worth noting that theres little love lost between ganim, netanyahu, that ganz was meant to replace netanyahu in a deal to become Prime Minister in a previous government, which netanyahu managed two rigueur out by failing to approve a budget and Opinion Polls suggest that if they were elections tomorrow, benny gantz wouldnt just beat netanyahu. He would trounced him, but going back to those words from betty gantz, what he said is that netanyahu and his words must choose between victory and disaster saying that if netanyahu chooses to lead the nation into the abyss, we will withdraw from the government turned to the people and form a government that can bring about a real victory. The problem for gantz is that if he were to leave this government netanyahu still has the numbers so long as you can keep his farright ministers in the fold, in his government, that netanyahu doesnt need to go to the people that doesnt have to be an election until they are planned in a couple of years time. So although that would clearly perhaps change the way that israel conducts the war, ganz is no dove, but he certainly seems to be slightly less a rightwing there. Netanyahu and certainly some of netanyahus bedfellows in the government that if bernie ganz leaves the government, then the trajectory of this war could lead to the military efforts of israel, particularly the effort in gaza being definitively made a Priority Over V Recovery of the israeli hostages still being held in the gaza strip. And just briefly, fredricka, the points that gantzs saying is that netanyahu needs to come up with a plan that is going to defeat hamas return the hostages and also have a plan for the day after that doesnt involve hamas or fatah, the faction run by Palestinian Authority president mahmoud abbas. And also to make progress on the normalization with saudi arabia and also to do something that will enable the Tens Of Thousands of people displaced from the northern parts of israel becomes those of a from iranbacked hezbollah to allow them to move back to their homes. Fredricka. And then in addition to that, israel is saying today that it recovered the body of another hostage from gaza. What more can you tell us about that . Thats right. This is 53 yearold father of Two Run Benjamin now, he was out biking. He was a very keen cyclist. You to go cycling every saturday. And so it wasnt october the seventh, which was a saturday. He went off on his bike and he was killed. The idf says at a junction just east of the northeastern and tip of the gaza strip, when hamas broke through the fencing around the gaza strip, he was killed and his body was abducted back into the gaza strip. Israel now saying that is recovered, that body, in fact, it recovered it along with the bodies of three other hostages on thursday night, there is still 124 hostages being held in gaza about a quarter of whom federica, i believe to be already dead. All right. Eliot gucken in tel aviv. Thank you so much alright, new today, President Biden is campaigning in atlanta. He just made the first of several stops that he is planning for the peach state later today, he is hosting a problem private fundraiser. Its all part of a larger effort to grow support among black voters. Tomorrow he is speaking at the commencement for Morehouse College, where there are growing concerns about propalestinian protests interrupting the ceremony. The school says, they will allow silent protests, but warned that the event well be stopped if demonstrations become too disruptive, cnns Nick Valencia spoke with some morehouse students who say they dont want that to happen when you talk to a lawn gibson about his Upcoming College graduation, you can see hes excited covid canceled his High School Commencement in 2020. So this one is extra special. I think most sore like me that are a little bit these as sigma most just want a peaceful graduation without protests for the 21 yearold morehouse senior getting President Joe Biden as the Commencement Speaker, is in his words, pretty cool, even if he does see why some of his peers think the choice was controversial. I personally dont agree with some of the things that the white house has done. But youre still want him to come here. So do want to become because i agree with his his full body of work work. Thats been mixed reactions, some for some against morehouse Student Newspaper managing editor colin royal says mostly the invitation created confusion on campus the fact that we werent really in the loop for that was kinda concerning especially we have somebody of that magnitude and somebody thats been involved in a lot of things that students have protested against. Who would you guys . Much rather have as a Commencement Speaker i am inclined to say andriy 3,000. The joke, but mark reagans and know what collier have been on the front lines as two the most vocal critics at morehouse to bidens invitation, i exist as more than a prop for a photoop draped in cafe is the propalestinian activists tell us about what they call us imperialism, which they say biden has amplified by his arm support for the war in gaza while at the same time, overlook in their concerns as black man, he completely dismiss us by calling those violent, by calling us antisemitic and no and no way shape, or form are any of us antisemitic. Because if we, where we would not be engaging in these protests the idea of antisemitism does it completely contradiction conflicts with the values that we move with was part of my calculus that he would say yes to us because hes in this president ial race absolutely. Morehouse president david thomas invited biden to be the Commencement Speaker back in september. Today, he defends the decision as well as the schools choice to give biden an honorary degree. What i want them to walk out thinking is the president of the United States came to give the Commencement Speech at Morehouse College because Morehouse College matters in the world and therefore what i do with the privilege of having gone to morehouse means i should matter in the world in the longstanding tradition of more houses, studentled Activism Thomas says he will give space for protests on sunday, but well take a hard line if protests are disruptive gibson was among a small group that met with the white house ahead of bidens visit from that conversation, he says, its clear, not only does morehouse matter, what he says on sunday, biden has a chance to show the men of morehouse that they matter more than every four years . I dont want him to hit come here and campaign. I know hes going to tell somebody some of his accomplishments. I know hes going to talk about some things hes going to do for black people. Im expecting to hear that, but also wanna hear authentic speech about why hes here for us and perhaps why they should be there for him. Come november this week, more house faculty voted in support of giving President Biden an honorary degree. Meanwhile, Student Activists have taken to social media to encourage graduates on sunday to turn their back on President Biden during his commencement address. They say, as biden has turned his back on palestine Nick Valencia, cnn, atlanta also tomorrow President Biden will be attending the end double acp is fight for Freedom Dinner in detroit, joining us right now, the president of the digital right branch at the end of lacp, reverend dr. Wendell anthony. Dr. Anthony . Uh, welcome thank you, ms fredricka, pleased to be with. All right. So how much are you looking forward to the president and his remarks at the dinner . Very much so as you know that It Choi Branch has been privileged to host a number of president s over the years, reposted The Bill Clinton twice. Al gore is Vice President weve hosted Kamala Harris here prior to her ascendancy as Vice President , we had joe biden when he was Vice President and now it comes back as president. He comes at a particular significant time because of all the issues that we face in the nation and Around The World and so were very excited to have him to come he comes to the choy, which is also very close to the heartbeat of the Arab American Community outside of the middle east. The largest assembly divided by Arab Americans reside right next door to us. So hes coming to touch the community were very excited about it. Were going to present him with the James Weldon JohnsonLifetime Achievement award for a lifetime of service to a number of people on for a number of issues and policies. And thats the crux of the matter. The naacp believes in policies not a dean. I dont are not an i, but a p policy what is your policies edits as it relates to the priorities about organization . When you extended the invitation to the president , did you also invite him to address certain policies . What is it that you want him to talk about . Well is beyond me to tell the president of the United States what he or should not should or should not do how ever since you asked and ill be glad to respond i would hope that he would be who he is number one, dont try to be nobody. Speed joe biden. Be the person who has lost Family Members to cancer, to attracting accident be the person who understands how to touch the common person ill be the person that you were when you came and you walked the line, what auto workers you know, fredricka i and i hope thats all right to call you frederick. I have auto workers in my church. And as a result of the increases in wages they now had made more money, making more money we want the Auto Companies to be solvent as well as the work is not in play more money for tithes and offerings. So thats a good thing we also want him to address and hopefully he will. Hes smart enough to know that loan elimination is very important that people in my church who benefited from the loan Liquidation Program that he has instituted, which is Supreme Court backed away from and which other folks are trying to find. And isnt it something that this is 2024. And we have a Supreme Court that has a justice thats flying the flag upside down in front of his house, whos deciding on cases of immunity. But insurrectionist and the man who caused this and then blamed it on his wife. When we have another person whos creating diversity on the court, i e qatar brown, jackson so we hope and we believe that he will speak to the issues that speak to our heart. But there are a number of them and we are not a one issue people because we have too much at stake, too much on the table, or democracy is that state, our freedom and our education is at stake. This is 70 years after brown versus the board of education. And people really want to take us back 50 to 100 years. Well, when going back weve come too far to turn back now and we believe that any candidate anybody who has the Policy Program that is matching up with the priorities of the naacp, ought to be heard not to be considered given gold jim sciutto, The Red Bottom says that policy having your picture behind a prison wall with behind bars on a tshirt betting policy. Theres an expression and not community, dont goh for the o, keep you gone for the okay. We want policies we wont programs. We want to feel and hear, and touch and believe that you feel and touch and believe what we did. Okay. Reverend dr. Wendell anthony, im im sure they the president hears you loud and clear and is likely to deliver on all of those aspects at the dinner tomorrow. And as he also received the Lifetime Achievement award from the nwa cp chapter there. Thank you so much for your time. Really appreciate you being with me thank you so very much.
