Summary

The Senate finally passed the stalled aid package for Ukraine and Israel but there's still no guarantee it will make it through the house, where MAGA-minded politicians are becoming more and more hostile to sending assistance to Kyiv. Meanwhile in Cairo, the US and Israeli intelligence chiefs are meeting with intermediaries to hammer out a hostage deal and pause the war. In Gaza, all eyes are on Rafah, where Palestinians are bracing for an Israeli ground offensive, even though President Biden is urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off and come up with a clear plan about how to achieve its goals and protect civilians. Last night Jordan's King Abdullah, the first Arab leader to visit the White House since October 7th, called for a ceasefire. Joining the program to discuss all this is Marwan Muasher, Jordan’s former foreign minister. Also on today's show: Matt Damon talks about producing the new documentary "Kiss the Future"; Benjamin Herold, author, "Disillusioned" Learn more about your ad choices.
