About this episode

President Joe Biden is heading to Israel tonight in a show of solidarity since 1,400 people were slaughtered, and ahead of a major Israeli offensive. The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was there today. Leaders will also insist that international law is observed, and innocent Palestinian life is protected. At least 3,000 people have been killed in Gaza since airstrikes began. Immediate concerns center on trying to get life's basic necessities to the people who are currently under Israeli siege. Christiane speaks with the Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry to ask how long this can continue.
