International criminal court said he has requested Arrest Warrants for Prime Minister netanyahu, other israeli officials and hamas officials for alleged war crimes. Joining us from tel aviv is nbcs raf sanchez. What is the very latest . Reporter so, jose, as we speak, Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is meeting with senior government ministers. Earlier he spoke to his Legal Advisers and theyre formulating israels response to this ruling from the International Court of justice, which is both final and it is binding. And so if israel does not abide by it, then it is technically in breach of international law. But what is key here, jose, is that the court does not have powers to enforce its rulings, and we have seen icg rulings ignored in the past, by israel, by other countries, and in theory, if there is a dispute, this could move to the United Nations security council, which does have the power to enforce its own binding decisions, but israel is hoping that the u. S. Will use its veto power to shield it at that forum. Now, jose, about 800,000 Palestinian Civilians have been displaced in rafah since the start of that Military Offensive earlier this month. It is also plunged the distribution of humanitarian aid, really across gaza, and into crisis. The Rafah Crossing is closed and it is becoming much more difficult now to get aid through any of the crossings in southern gaza, and get it out to the rest of the strip. There may be a little bit of legal wiggle room here in that the court has ordered israel to submit a report within one month, explaining how it is complying with the judges rulings. Some here in israel are interpreting that as as long as israel wraps up its Military Operation in rafah within the next month, as long as it can say to the court one month from now that that operation has come to an end, that it will be in compliance with international law, the judges did say they must halt this operation immediately. Jose, our team on the ground inside gaza says rather than halting, they say israeli air strikes are intensifying at this hour. And, meanwhile, the military says they recovered the bodies of three hostages killed during the October 7th Massacre . Reporter yeah, thats right, jose. So this is three bodies recovered from Northern Gaza in the middle of your screen, orion hernandez, dual french mexican national, kidnapped, killed from that super nova Music Festival with his girlfriend and her body was recovered in the same area of Northern Gaza, a week ago. So, another grim discovery by the Israeli Military in Northern Gaza. This does give these grieving families perhaps a little bit of closure, and an opportunity to bury their dead. There are 125 hostages still inside gaza, according to israels government, 39 of them are confirmed to be dead. But the fear here in israel is that the actual number may be much higher than that. Jose . And, cia director bill burns back heading back to the area in an effort to revive ceasefire negotiations . Reporter yeah, once again, jose, cia director bill burns heading to paris, hes due to meet with the head of the Mossad Spy Agency and the Prime Minister of qatar and hes trying to jump start these ceasefire talks which have been so badly stalled for so long, youll remember, jose, the last time there was a ceasefire, the last time hostages were released was the end of november, last year. It is now 231 days since october 7th. 231 days of those hostages being in captivity, 231 days of this intense, intense fighting, causing such misery inside gaza. And i have to tell you, jose, there is not a whole lot of optimism that the cia director or anyone else is going to be able to get these ceasefire talks back over the line again. Jose . Raf sanchez in tel aviv, thank you so much. Back here at home, we are also following the latest developments in the race for the white house. For the first time in years, former President Donald Trump held a rally in new york. The event in south bronx was framed as an effort to reach out to black and latino voters. African americans are getting slaughtered, Hispanic Americans are getting slaughtered, and these millions and millions of people that are coming into our country, the biggest impact and the biggest negative impact is against our black population and our Hispanic Population who are losing their jobs, losing their housing, losing everything they can lose. With us now, nbc news correspondent dasha burns, who was at last nights rally. Ashley etienne, former Communications Director for Vice President harris and brandon buck, former press secretary to house Speakers Boehner and ryan and msnbc political analyst. So, dasha, what was it like there last night . Yeah, jose, you said it there, he was in the bronx, in a blue state, in a very blue area of the state that he lost by a really wide margin in the last election. But this was part of that push to engage black and latino voters and i will tell you, it was a diverse crowd, there were some folks from new jersey, from westchester, but i met a lot of people at that rally who were born and raised in the bronx, black residents, hispanic residents, immigrants who actually this might be counterintuitive but did agree with former President Trumps position on immigration. There was a lot of talk in his speech that was pretty new york centric, he painted a pretty bleak image of new york city as a city in decline at one point, talking about, quote, encampments and lunatics killing people, but as i talked to voters in that crowd, jose, it was really fascinating because we have seen these numbers, we have seen the polling, where biden is struggling to shore up that base, with black and hispanic voters, and we have seen some of those folks start to gravitate towards trump. I want you to take a listen to some of the conversations i had at the rally. Listen. So much crime, everything is going downhill. The economy is going bad. The food is expensive. It is, like, Affordable Housing is too not for everybody. It is terrible. I want food to go cheaper, the gas, i want gas cheaper. When i came and he was president , gas was a lot cheaper than it is right now. Now we becoming the bronx second class citizens. We have this influx of migrants coming in and theyre getting everything. Everyone in the bronx in the city of new york is forgotten. And, jose, a lot of the people i talked to were first time voters, some had never been to a trump event before, some had voted for obama twice and voted for biden and are now saying they are going to vote for former President Trump in november. Look, a lot is going to happen over the next six months. But this is something ive been hearing consistently from voters, and thats why youre seeing some of the more aggressive push from the Biden Campaign to try to shore up their base to try to rally those voters, but some really fascinating and somewhat unexpected conversations last night, jose. Yeah, i mean, the last republican to win new york was reagan in 84. Is there any thoughts in the trump team that anything similar to that could happen in 2024 . I sure hope they dont think that, no, thats not going to happen. But i think it is a very real dynamic here, that black and hispanic voters for a long time now have been showing much higher interest in voting for somebody other than joe biden. I dont think this is a situation where all of a sudden they love what donald trump has to offer. Donald trump is very good at blaming people and telling people who to blame for their problems. And thats, i think, what is going on here. It is very early. I dont think donald trump is going to win 20 of these populations by any measure. I think the Biden Campaign is probably going to be able to close this gap significantly. The problem i think for the biden folks is the Opportunity Cost of doing that. This should be a core part of your coalition who you dont have to be worrying about at this stage of an election. Rather than being able to focus on, say, nikki haley voters, soft republicans, they find themselves trying to shore up what has been particularly for joe biden a core fundamental part of his voting block. So, trump is very good at being showy, very good at blaming people, the biden team has a lot of work to do, this is real. Not a lot of easy solutions, especially with cost of living, but my bigger concern for the biden folks is what youre not doing while youre trying to win back this argument. You know, ashley, i think it is also somewhat dangerous to buy into the narrative that biden and democrats are losing African American majority votes or latino vote is, you know, up for grabs en bloc. I dont see anybody looking close to what george w. Bush got from the latino votes, for example. Wondering, though, but from the Biden Campaign perspective, what is that this message is . Well, i mean, i think that there are those within the black and the Latino Community that identify with president former President Trumps grievance message. There is no doubt about that, there is a lack of trust that exists between those communities and those communities and the democratic party. So that means that the President Biden has some work to do, but heres the other reality that i that came to me as i was watching the rally last night that i dont think we have an appreciation for. It is incredibly hard to message against someone who is a liar, and who isnt being held to account on those lies. Trump gets to the mic and just spews one after the other and there is no one holding him account to those lies. And then you got an entire Conservative Media Apparatus that is perpetuating these lies. So, thats really the challenge. And, you know, thats the hardest thing to do, to go up and message against a liar and we have never seen one to this extent that is willing to go as far as trump is, to really not just stir the pot, but to really cause divisions within the party and fracture the country and the nation honestly about these issues. Yeah, and talk about fracturing and about divisions, dasha, trumps rally came one day after former rival nikki haley said she would vote for him. Trump responded to her comments last night, what did he have to say . Yes, so this is where were seeing some really interesting i dont want to necessarily call It Realignment but a shift among democrats and republicans. What youre seeing now is those nikki haley voters, shes been getting some 15 to 20 sometimes above that percent in some Battleground States after months after she dropped out of the race. So for former President Trump, for his campaign, it is important to try to extend that olive branch to win over some of those voters that are really skeptical that clearly wanted to send a message when they voted for nikki haley, that theyre not comfortable with trump leading the party. So listen to how he responded to her saying shes going to vote for him. Listen. Well, i think shes going to be on our team because we have a lot of the same ideas, same thoughts. I appreciated what she said. We had a nasty campaign, it was pretty nasty. But she is a very capable person, and im sure shes going to be on our team in some form. Absolutely. And while there is some concern among black and latino voters they may be getting chipped away at by trump, the Biden Campaign has been starting to try to go after those haley voters, particularly in pennsylvania. They doubled their ad spending, targeting haley voters specifically trying to bring them over to their side. So, it is just a really fascinating landscape out there, jose, when talking to voters who are trying to figure out what camp do they belong in right now with their politics, kind of upside down at the moment. And the New York Times reporting today that arkansas republican senator tom cotton has unexpectedly emerged as a top contender to be trumps running mate. That according to three people with direct knowledge of trumps thinking. What do you make of that . Yeah, interesting. What donald trump is going to be looking for is somebody who will repeat his messaging, without any pause, and tom cotton is a very aggressive conservative, who particularly on matters of Foreign Policy makes no apologies for having very conservative views and somebody who i think donald trump will be able to rely on pretty consistently to back him up. Now, usually you think about things like does this person expand my coalition at all, i dont know that that does that here, but i think donald trump is looking for things a little bit differently, particularly after the mike pence experience. His number one priority is going to be loyalty and i think tom cotton is somebody he thinks would probably be pretty loyal to him. And, ashley, we were listening to dasha talking about the top issues that the folks that were at the trump rally were talking about. Immigration is clearly one of the top issues. And everyone seems to have a different perspective or even definition of what immigration is or is not. How important is immigration for both biden and trump this year . Well, i mean it going to be a weapon that both parties are going to try to use to their advantage. Youve seen the votes in the senate where, you know, schumer sort of compelled votes, double down on this narrative that republicans are banning a bill they actually wrote. On the other side, republicans are, again, pointing the finger at and blaming joe biden for what is happening at the border, although they refuse to come to the table in advance of a bill they actually have written. That is a sort of a dream wish list for conservatives. But i love to go back, if you dont mind, to this issue of yes. It is really important. What were seeing right now is the Republican Party is in a complete and total identity crisis. It is no longer the party of reagan, no longer the party of lincoln. Theyre all behind donald trump. What was a party that staunchly was for the constitution, now is supporting somebody who said theyre going to walk away from the constitution on day one and lead as a dictator. So, i think pence is the model and the example that nikki haley and cotton and all these people should be at the forefront of their minds. This is what you get when you cozy up to donald trump. You get threats on your life, you also, run the risk of the party runs the risk of becoming another failed enterprise of donald trump, just like the bogus universities and his claims to be a billionaire. Thats the real risk this Party Continues to run, theyre going to continue to be on the losing end and American People see right through it.
