Summary

This week, President Biden vowed to withhold military aid from Israel if the country moved forward with its invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza. Despite the announcement, Israel proceeded with its operation, bombarding the city with missiles as it prepares for a ground invasion. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's defiance of President Biden only highlights the tremendous political pressures faced by both nations amid this escalating conflict. FOX News Senior Affairs Correspondent Greg Palkot provides the latest amid the war in Gaza. After weeks of threatening a vote to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) pulled the trigger, angering many fellow Republican legislators. Democrat leadership announced they'd help kill the motion to vacate along with the overwhelming majority of Republicans also expressing confidence in Johnson. Meanwhile, chaos erupts on MIT's campus and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders announced his re-election as one of the oldest U.S. lawmakers. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram shares his insights from the halls of Congress. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
