Tensions rise between Biden and Netanyahu over war in Gaza; Trump close to securing Republican nomination for president

Despite President Biden's recent calls for a 6-week ceasefire amid the war between Israel and Gaza, leading progressive Sen.

They need the capabilities to do that. There's aid that's desperately in need, and you know what? We can do that too. We can do both."
