Description
During a phone call on Thursday, President Joe Biden made two primary
demands of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The first is an
expansion of humanitarian aid into Gaza to improve the situation there;
the second is to empower his negotiators to strike a ceasefire and
hostage deal. But as the world still deals with the aftershocks left by
the killings of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, can Biden
pressure Bibi into approaching the tragedy as a turning point in the
war? National security reporter Alex Ward joins Playbook co-author Ryan
Lizza to break it all down.

On Thursday night, at 8:38 p.m., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy took to the House floor with a speech designed to delay Democrats’ passage of the Build Back Better package. This morning, at 5:10 a.m., some 8 hours and 32 minutes later, he finally stopped talking. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
