Turning now to our other top story here in washington, uncertainty and turmoil continues to reign over the house of representatives. Congress is still without a speaker for the second straight week. Today house judiciary chair jim jordan couldnt wrestle enough votes to take the gavel with 20 of his fellow republicans voting against him. Cbss Scott Macfarlane has the latest from capitol hill. Reporter Ohio Republican jim jordan, the rightwing firebrand and close ally of former president donald trump, had been jockeying for days to become the new house speaker, second in line to the presidency. But today he lost 20 defectors inside his own party. A speaker has not been elected. Reporter leaving him more than a dozen votes short of the 217 necessary in the House Chamber paralyzed two weeks after removing former speaker kevin mccarthy. Jordan said he would try again. So were going to keep working and get the votes. Reporter those who voted against jordan include moderate republicans in districts President Biden won in 2020, worried a jordanled house could sink their own reelection chances. The nineterm republican is the face of the biden impeachment inquiry that has plowed ahead with little evidence. The Biden Justice department tries to sweep it all under the rug. Reporter two years ago he voted to block the certification of bidens 2020 win. And he was in close communication with thenpresident trump in the days before and on january 6th, seen on this white house call log. He went over to the white house and helped plot the entire thing. He urged publicly people disgruntled about the election to march on the capitol. Reporter jordan has tried to flip those republicans who are opposing him, but it has backfired so far. Florida republican Carlos Gimenez blasted jordans strongarm tactics, including having conservative media listeners flood the phones of republicans with complaints. You didnt like the Pressure Campaign . No, i dont. I mean, look, if youre a leader, people will follow you. Any concerns youve heard from members about tactics used to win your votes . No. Reporter the next vote isnt likely until midday tomorrow, at the earliest. Without a breakthrough, the house remains paralyzed, endangering aid to israel, ukraine, and a Government Shutdown one month from today, norah. Incredible to watch. Scott macfarlane, thank you. And with chaos on capitol hill, we sat down with republican senator mitt romney, who is not seeking a second term in 2024. And we asked him why he thinks republicans are having such a difficult time picking a new speaker. Do you think jim jordan is the right republican to be speaker of the house . Well, it does seem like the republicans in the house are letting the tail wag the dog. The great majority of the republicans in the house, i think, would like to have someone that represents the mainstream of our party. Jim jordan represents a small part of the party but a very vocal part of the party, and theyve been calling the shots. Hes probably not the first choice i would have made, but its not my choice. Its up to them. Whether hell get the job or not, i dont know. But if he does get the job, it will be a case of the dog catching the car, which is what happens then . I mean there are people in my party who go to washington to bark, to make noise, not to make law, but to make noise. I think jim jordan would call himself one of those whos got a lot to say and is loud and barking but actually passing law, getting law thats signed not just by members of the house but also in the senate and by the president , thats a different matter, and well see whether he rises to the occasion if he becomes speaker.

We begin tonight with the breaking news that is reverberating around the world. When President Biden announced his trip to the middle east, there was hope that his meetings with both israeli and arab leaders could result in relief to gaza and the release of american hostages. Tonight that hope has faded. Were learning new details tonight about an explosion at a hospital in gaza city. The Palestinian HealthMinistry Says hundreds of people killed, many more injured. The hospital just hit and overwhelmed. Now, hamas is blaming an israeli air strike, but israel is denying responsibility, saying their intelligence shows it was caused by a failed rocket launch by the Group Islamic jihad. Throughout this conflict, civilians have taken refuge around hospitals and schools in hopes of avoiding the near constant air strikes from above. And tonight that safety shattered. It was just as President Biden was boarding air force one this afternoon that he learned his meetings in jordan canceled. And were now learning he wont travel to jordan at all but will still go to tel aviv as a show of support for israel, a city where air raid sirens continue to go off. There are a lot of new developments tonight, and we have Team Coverage from israel to the white house. Well start with cbss Charlie Dagata in tel aviv. Charlie, it has been quite a day. Reporter good evening, norah. Yes, it has, and were still getting details about exactly what happened at that hospital in gaza. As you mentioned, Israeli Defense forces specifically naming Islamic Jihad. This is another Islamic Militant organization that shares gaza with hamas, also at war with israel, launching attacks here, just adding to the volatility. We have to warn you that some might find the images in this report disturbing. Cell phone footage captured the moments an explosion turned an overcrowded hospital in gaza into a massive fireball. Hundreds are thought to have been killed in what might be gazas worst single loss of life yet. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said tonight an Analysis Shows the explosion was caused by a barrage of rockets that misfired by Palestinian MilitantsIslamic Jihad within gaza. I can confirm that an analysis of the idf operation of systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in gaza. Reporter hamas blamed israel, saying the strike is a result of what they called unlimited u. S. Support for israel. It triggered international condemnation. Egypt, qatar, iran, jordan, and turkey among the countries who have denounced the air strike. Palestinian president mahmoud abbas, who was meeting with the u. S. Secretary of state, antony blinken, in the jordanian capital, has declared three days of mourning in response to the hospital strike. Protests erupted in the west bank and in jordan, where Security Forces used tear gas to disperse crowds of protesters trying to storm the israeli embassy. The hospital disaster has only heaped more misery and bloodshed on gaza, where horrific scenes after a series of israeli air strikes have taken the level of sheer human suffering and soaring death toll to a next lvel. In rafah, terrified children cried out as frantic residents scrambled among the rubble in search for survivors. Some children unable to make any sound at all. Cbs news producer in gaza marwan al ghul witnessed the worst of it. I saw dozens of killed people and dozens of injuries. Not enough plans ambulances, no civil defense. The people here tried to do all of their best to take out the injured by their hands. Reporter more explosions sent shock waves of terror, creating more death even as they raced to save lives. Reining in israeli retaliation in an effort to avoid inflaming the entire region is among the Biggest Challenges facing President Biden as he visits here in a show of solidarity with israel. Students we spoke with in tel aviv are hopeful. Him actually coming, its not only spoken words. Its an actual action, which is really important for us. We really want this to end as soon as possible, and i think its it will be more possible if we have the support of america with us. How important is it to have americas support like this . Very important. We need them as our ally and, of course, their support. Reporter for days, israeli troops, heavy weapons, tanks, and artillery have been taking up positions along the front line with gaza. The Israeli Defense forces say theyve mobilized more than 300,000 troops as the military gears up for what it calls a coordinated attack from air, land, and sea, indicating an allout invasion may be imminent. But considering how volatile the situation has now become, President Bidens visit may mean israel may hold off pulling the trigger until hes left the region. Now, we go back to more information that were getting about exactly what happened at that hospital earlier today. Israeli Defense Forces releasing a statement again saying that it was a misfire, but then stating tha
