Cbss debora patta is in East Jerusalem tonight with the very latest. Debora. Reporter good evening. There is a flurry of diplomatic activity in this region this weekend, a lastditch effort to revive ceasefire talks and secure a hostage deal ahead of a possible Ground Offensive in the Southern Gaza city of rafah. The pressure is mounting on Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. Anger over the governments failure to bring their loved ones home has spilled onto the streets as demonstrators have stepped up their protests, which more than once have ended in scuffles with police. Prioritizing a hostage deal over the rafah offensive has exposed cracks in Netanyahus Coalition government. The release of the hostages is our First Priority said foreign minister israel katz, adding that would mean deferring an offensive in rafah, where more than 1. 4 million palestinians are sheltering, a move vehemently opposed by israels more hawkish rightwing faction. With the threat of a fullscale offensive hanging over rafah, people here keep asking where will they go. Much of gaza lies in ruin. The destruction on such a scale, it is uninhabitable. And there is nowhere safe to run to. This little boy and his elder sister are beside themselves with grief. Theyve already lost their mother. Now their fathers been taken too. My brother is just 6 years old, Zain Al Ghayth screams. Hes an orphan. How do i raise him . The staggeringly high civilian death toll in gaza has sparked nationwide protests at american universities, which have not gone unnoticed by students in rafah, whose education came to an abrupt halt with the war. They no longer have walls to spray graffiti on, instead showing their gratitude on the tents they now call home. Aid groups have warned that an invasion of rafah would worsen the already desperate humanitarian situation in gaza, jericka, where famine looms. Debora patta reporting in East Jerusalem, thank you.

Israels war on hamas has another front line. Free, free palestine reporter a free speech and Hate Speech Campus Debate thats anything but academic. If you want to protect free speech, then you dont break up peaceful protests. People didnt seem to be aware of how bad the situation for free speech and academic recognition was on campuses. Reporter the foundation for individual rights and expression, a group defending the right to free speech. Do you have the sense that any of this is moving the ball forward . Some of the way the protest has been going on on College Campuses has been alienating more of the public than bringing it in. Reporter on columbia universitys west lawn, civil disobedience. This ongoing tent city galvanized national protests. They want the university to divest investments in israel and companies they say profit off repression of palestinians. Dueling protests at columbia, proisrael, propalestinian, reflect a larger welter of opinion and emotion, passion and perceived prejudice. People would be up in arms and protesting that right away. But because its the jews, i feel like nobody cares. Reporter all this coasttocoast commotion is well into its second week. And what began here at columbia has now rippled overseas. From paris to london, University Students occupied buildings and marched in the streets. Theyre echoing this u. S. Student movement, at times a moment thats been unflattering, even dark, from intolerant protesters to sumbling universities. A lot of campuses are teaching young people to think like activists and less like scholars.

President biden also spoke, landing a few punch lines of his own. Im a grown man running against a 6yearold. Cbss skyler henry was there. Skyler, it wasnt all laughs, though, in what will be a critical election year. Reporter yeah, thats right, jericka. A bit of a balancing act, if you will. Still, though, it was a night filled with journalists, stars, and top political officials. President biden poked fun at himself during his speech, but he also took verbal aim against his presumed opponent this november, in whats expected to be a very close race. Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it stormy weather. Reporter amidst the jokes and jabs at the annual white house Correspondents Dinner, President Biden detailed his perspective on the stakes for the upcoming election. Eight years ago, could you have written it off as just trump talk, but no longer, not after january 6th. Reporter former President Trump responded on his truth social platform, voicing his displeasure about the event and calling biden, quote, an absolute disaster. With a little more than six months to go before the election, new cbs news polling out today shows a very tight race in three Battleground States we surveyed pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan, states that helped biden win in 2020.
