From Washington: Israel Balances Defeating Hamas & Protecting Innocent Civilians

Pro-Palestinian protests continue across college campuses, as hundreds of American students demand a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas War. Though many protesters claim they're standing to prevent genocide, there are also many spewing antisemitic threats, leaving Jewish students fearing for their safety. As the Biden Administration attempts to condemn antisemitic behavior and support Israel while also discouraging acts that harm innocent civilians, what will the Administration's next moves be? Retired Army Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg discusses how the Israeli government could conduct a military operation with as little collateral damage as possible, the likelihood of conflict expanding in the Middle East, and the probability of a two-state solution. Congress delivered after months of starts and stops, with the House and Senate giving final approval to a 95 billion dollar international aid package that will provide critical weapons to Ukraine, Israel, and partners in the Indo-Pacific.

The Supreme Court heard arguments this week in former President Trump’s immunity case. The former President’s attorney D. John Sauer argued that a President should be immune from prosecution when it pertains to “official acts” of the office. The Department of Justice has argued that creating presidential immunity would create a slippery slope, encouraging future presidents to commit crimes without fear of persecution. FOX News Sunday Anchor and "Livin’ The Bream" podcast host Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss what she took away from the arguments, what precedent could be set if the Court sides with the defense, and what could be coming next for the former President.

A Conversation With Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: “We’re Not Afraid Because We’re Not Alone”

On Wednesday, President Biden signed a $95 billion package to provide military aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. After months of pushback from many Republican lawmakers, enough GOP support was gathered to pass bipartisan legislation that the President assured would take effect within hours of the bill’s passage. Ukraine had desperately needed aid dollars and weaponry from the U.S. after months of suffering key military defeats in the face of a Russian invasion. FOX News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg Palkot traveled to Kyiv and sat down for an exclusive with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss his gratitude to the American people for helping protect his country against Russian invaders.

Today, the Supreme Court will yet again hear another case that could have huge implications for the 2024 presidential race. The justices will hear arguments over whether former President Donald Trump should be immune from prosecution for acts taken while in office.

Or acts of intimidation? FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with William Jacobson, Cornell Law Professor, who has seen protests on his campus and says this has been building in academia for decades.
