all food and medicine going into the country. >> do you see, for instance, if the threat to go into rafah or if enough aid is not delivered or if obstacles are put in place by israel, do you see that there would be a move towards conditioning anything other than defensive weapons? >> so, andrea, i do think we need to break this pattern we have seen for weeks and months where the president of the united states says to prime minister netanyahu, allow more humanitarian assistance in, address the issue of high levels of civilian casualties, only to have the president of the united states mostly ignored and then we send 2,000-pound bombs, as you mentioned. clearly, in order to ensure that the president's reasonable requests are met, that we have a two-way street, i do think that we should say to the netanyahu government, you need to meet the requirements, the reasonable requirements that president biden has laid out before you receive more u.s. taxpayer-funded offensive weapons. we have exempted from this whole dialogue and discussion defensive systems like iron dome. but when it comes to offe

there's still the question of rafah. what do you think is going to happen in the next weeks about rafah? do you think the israelis are, indeed, going to invade, or do you think not? >> i would say that the unblinking eye of the media will shift back pretty quickly, as events hopefully settle down in terms of interstate warfare between israel and iran. eugene, you're right to put your focus, in particular, on rafah. i think the thing to watch here is the network of tunnels underneath all of gaza. about 400 miles of tunnels, this is where hamas trains, equips, organizes, directs, launches attacks. israel knows those tunnels are the military center of gravity here, so they're going to work their way through that tunnel complex. they're already doing it in the northern part of gaza. they're going to get after those tunnel systems, incredibly complex, under the area in the south, under and around rafah. the problem for them, quite obviously, 1.1 million gazans displaced into that area. the israeli military will need to come u

i think it's more a question of when, not if israel goes into rafah. you're beginning to see plans being made for moving out some of the gazan civilians. i think the most influence the biden administration can probably have here is not weather israel goes in, but how it uses military force, when it goes in, so i think we could be looking once passover ends sometime later, i'm going to say in may, potentially months of a fairly focused lower-level israeli military operation in rafah. i would be really surprised if we avoid that. i'm not real optimistic not just about the hostages, but about hopes for anything looking like a prolonged ceasefire. i just don't see it. indeed, funnily enough, the deal on iran where the israelis avoided doing anything big in retaliation for iran, i think has raised the pressure on netanyahu at least as he sees it for doing something fairly muscular in rafah. >> of course, hamas could release these hostages tomorrow and bring this to an end, but it won't because it's a terrorist at the time cult. that's the only leverage it h

we don't want another 15,000 civilians killed in further fights in rafah. at the same time, we don't want to send a message to hamas that they won. how do we balance those things? >> joe, it's really tough. it is a heartbreaking situation. israel has a right to defend itself against those who would annihilate it. hamas, hezbollah, iran. the u.s. has always been a partner, trying to help israel defend itself against those external threats. palestinians have a right to live, and palestine has a right to a future of autonomy promised them in 1948. the right thing to do now is to, in any weaponry to israel, it should be defensive only. replenish the stock of iron dome which can intercept missiles fired at israel. let's constrict military aid to defensive weapons only. second, we have to lean on israel much more about allowing humanitarian aid into gaza. the u.s. shouldn't have to be doing dangerous air drops of aid into gaza. we shouldn't have to be doing a goldberg pier constriction in the eastern mediterranean to get aid into gaza. the way to get aid into gaz
