It's Monday, April 29th. I'm Treville

0:03

Anderson. And I'm Josie Deafy-Rice. And this is

0:05

What a Day, where we like to go to the

0:08

movies on the weekend. Yes, I saw

0:10

Zendaya's new movie, Challengers, and now

0:12

I wanna play tennis, Josie. I

0:15

wanna play tennis. I want to be part of

0:17

a revenge plot. I mean, it

0:19

brings out everything I could ever want. Listen,

0:21

go to the movies, y'all. Okay? It's real

0:24

good. It's real good. On

0:31

today's show, police arrest hundreds of people on

0:33

college campuses protesting the war in Gaza,

0:36

plus an excerpt from South Dakota Governor

0:38

Kristi Noem's forthcoming book, has

0:40

her making enemies. But first,

0:42

the International Criminal Court is expected

0:44

to issue arrest warrants against top

0:46

Israeli and Hamas officials for their

0:49

actions in the ongoing war in

0:51

Gaza. That's according to a handful

0:53

of Israeli and foreign officials who

0:55

spoke to the New York Times

0:57

anonymously. The ICC itself has not

0:59

commented on the matter, but on

1:01

Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

1:04

said on social media that any

1:06

intervention by the court, quote, would

1:08

set a dangerous precedent that threatens

1:10

the soldiers and officials of

1:12

all democracies fighting savage terrorism

1:15

and wanton aggression. On

1:17

Sunday, President Biden spoke with Netanyahu,

1:19

and according to the White House,

1:21

he, quote, reiterated his clear position

1:23

on Israel's impending invasion of the

1:25

southern Gaza city of Rafah, where

1:27

more than a million Palestinians have

1:30

taken refuge. President Biden

1:32

said last month that such an invasion

1:34

would be a, quote, unquote, red line

1:36

for his administration. And what is

1:38

the latest in ceasefire talks? So

1:40

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is

1:43

currently on another trip to the

1:45

Middle East to help broker a

1:47

deal. A U.S. drafted plan, if

1:49

agreed to, would include a six-week

1:51

ceasefire and the release of hundreds

1:53

of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli

1:55

prisons in exchange for the release

1:57

of 40 of the hostages

1:59

still being... held by Hamas. Later

2:01

stages of the plan would extend

2:03

the ceasefire in exchange for more

2:06

hostages being freed. Yes, and

2:08

related to the hostages on Saturday,

2:10

Hamas released two more videos of

2:12

hostages held in Gaza. The

2:14

undated videos show Omri Mirin, who is

2:16

Israeli and Keith Siegel, an American citizen,

2:18

for the first time since they were

2:20

abducted in Israel on October 7th, more

2:22

than 200 days ago. Siegel's

2:25

wife, who has also taken hostage, was released

2:28

in November. The videos

2:30

come on the heels of another hostage

2:32

video from last week of Hersch Goldberg

2:34

Poland, who is also a U.S. citizen.

2:36

Now you mentioned that the videos are

2:39

undated. Do we have any idea when

2:41

they were taken? In all three videos,

2:43

the hostages make reference to the 200 day mark, signaling

2:46

that they could have been taken within the

2:48

last week. And they also mentioned Passover, which

2:50

began last week. But that's not really a

2:52

guarantee of anything. Media outlets have reported that

2:54

they actually can't be confident about when the

2:56

videos were actually filmed. We won't be

2:59

sharing details on the videos since this

3:01

kind of footage is taken under

3:03

duress, which makes the content entirely unreliable.

3:05

But it does feel worth noting that

3:08

all three hostages were visibly struggling. Siegel

3:11

broke down in tears during the video.

3:13

Meanwhile, 24 year old Goldberg Poland spoke

3:15

to his family, saying, I love you so much

3:17

and I think about you every day. All

3:20

three have also clearly suffered physically as well. The

3:22

Wall Street Journal notes that Siegel, who is 64

3:24

years old and Mirren, who is

3:26

47, look pale and thin. And

3:28

the video of Goldberg Poland shows an

3:31

amputated arm from injuries he incurred on

3:33

October 7th. And these videos are

3:35

being released at a pretty crucial moment, given the

3:37

ceasefire negotiation. So back to those talks.

3:39

Can you talk to us a little bit about what

3:41

Hamas is saying right now? Yeah,

3:43

so most of the pressure is

3:45

being put on Hamas to agree

3:47

to the deal. But Hamas has

3:49

said that they'll only agree to a

3:52

deal containing a permanent ceasefire. On

3:54

last Friday, Israel issued a counter proposal that,

3:56

according to the New York Times, raised the

3:59

pressure on the prospect of

4:01

a more sustained end to hostilities.

4:03

But as of this weekend, Hamas was still

4:05

considering it. You mentioned earlier that Blinken is

4:08

back in the Middle East, he'll be in Saudi Arabia

4:10

for the World Economic Forum. He's also

4:12

meeting with Egyptian and Qatari officials who have

4:14

been serving as the intermediaries between the parties

4:16

and the negotiation. Yeah. And I want to

4:18

highlight a speech that Palestinian Authority

4:20

President Mahmoud Abbas actually gave at

4:22

the forum on Sunday in which

4:25

he called out the United States.

4:27

Here he is as translated by

4:29

Al Jazeera. What

4:33

is happening in Gaza, what will happen in

4:35

the coming days and what Israel will do

4:37

by invading the city of Rafah, all

4:39

the Palestinians from Gaza are gathered in the

4:41

city of Rafah and only a small blow remains

4:43

to get them all out. Then

4:45

it would be the biggest disaster in the history

4:48

of the Palestinian people. We

4:51

appeal to the United States of America

4:53

to ask Israel to stop the Rafah

4:56

operation because America is the only country

4:58

capable of preventing Israel from committing this

5:00

crime. Now, this is the

5:03

first time that a senior leader

5:05

in the Palestinian Authority has made

5:07

such a statement, but it helps

5:09

illustrate just how catastrophic many believe

5:11

an attack on Rafah would be

5:13

for the Palestinian population already in

5:15

crisis. Also on

5:17

the call, Biden and Netanyahu discuss

5:20

the status of humanitarian aid deliveries

5:22

for civilians while deliveries into the

5:24

Wasij territory have increased, more is

5:26

still needed. This week, new crossings

5:29

are set to open to help

5:31

aid get some more folks in need,

5:33

particularly in the northern part of Gaza.

5:36

And we also have some updates from the

5:38

World Central Kitchen. Is that right, Josie? Yeah.

5:40

So about a month after an Israeli strike

5:42

killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, the

5:44

organization is going to once again start

5:47

providing assistance in Gaza. The

5:49

April 1st strike had led World Central

5:51

Kitchen leadership to halt operations in the

5:53

region. But on Sunday, CEO

5:55

Aaron Gore said, quote, We have

5:57

been forced to make a decision. Feeding

6:00

all together during one of the

6:02

worst hunger crises ever ending our

6:04

operation that accounted for sixty two

6:06

percent of all international and aid.

6:09

Or keeps eating Knowing that aid

6:11

aid workers and civilians are being

6:14

intimidated and told. The organization

6:16

had provided forty three million meals and

6:18

Gaza since October. On Sunday, they said

6:20

they had two hundred and seventy six

6:22

trucks holding an equivalent of eight million

6:25

meals. Ready to enter through Rafa and

6:27

would be sending. More trucks from Jordan

6:29

13:10

I guess if I were a

story here. He a think maybe
