11:00 am
coventry direct redefining insurance i'm lauren fox on
11:01 am
capitol hill and this is cnn hello, everyone. i thank you so much for joining this sunday. i'm fredricka source tells cnn that president joe biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke earlier today, fueling fresh hope for an end to the israeli hostage crisis. and the resulting six month war in gaza. meantime, us secretary of state antony blinken is headed back to the middle east right now for a new round of talks aimed at ending the deadlock between israel and hamas blinken plans to meet with regional partners in saudi arabia journalists elliott gotkine is joining me right now with the very latest elliot. great to see you. what do you know about this call? >> fredreka we understand this cool is about the ongoing hostage negotiations,
11:02 am
negotiations to try to get a ceasefire between israel and hamas in the gaza strip that would see a number of hostages released. they were abducted, of course, as part of the hamas terrorist attacks of october 7, they'd been in captivity do you know for more than two and at the same time freeing other number of palestinian prisoners in israeli jails more humanitarian aid going into the gaza strip. and i suppose the other hope for the us administration for biden's administration is to try to get this deal done in order to forestall israel's plan ground operation in rafah, which it says it has to undertake to take out the last bastion of hamas and the gaza strip. it of course, there are more than 1 million palestinians sheltering there. and the us president biden's secretary, blinken, have reiterated time and again to the israeli government, baer concerns about the potential for civilian casualties in any operation there. so i suppose it's a win-win if the hostage deal takes place, then israel has said that it would, at the
11:03 am
very least postpone its plans for a rafah operation. and i suppose in that respect, that is something that the biden administration will see as very good result for rigueur. elliott, this one heels of hamas releasing new video that shows two of the october 7 hostages in statements that appear to be recently recorded as well, american is really keith siegel seen for the first time saturday since october 7, pleading for israel to negotiate a release with hamas you appear to be speaking in under duress and this is the second recent hostage video released by hamas. so what are we learning from these videos? what does this tell you? >> i suppose there are two main things that we're learning. fredreka first is that these hostages are definitely alive, as you say, this is the first proof of life. the families and loved ones of those people who were abducted on october the seventh have had so seeing that
11:04 am
their family members, that their loved ones are alive is obviously incredibly reassuring during for them, even though it was hoped and assumed that they were alive until they had evidence to the contrary, i suppose what we're also learning here is hamas is ability to influence israel's stance in these hostage negotiations. because what it's trying to do here is, of course galvanize israeli public opinion. and again, on saturday night, we saw tens of thousands obvious rayleigh's taken to the streets to demand that their government do more american all right. >> sorry about that. looks like are shot is not going to improve too much there. elliott gotkine. thank you so much. >> all right. let's talk more now with former hostage negotiator garch baskin, who is middle east director of the international community's organization, grows shawn great to see you. so i want to begin with a relative of hostage keith siegel, whose video proof of life was just released hanna
11:05 am
siegel is 60ths nice and she said it was bittersweet seeing the video and hearing her uncle's voice take a listen to what she told cbs today. >> he starts the video by saying how much he loves us, he loves our family and he's obviously under duress. he's gaunt, he looks week, but that's real. i know that he misses his family. he talks in the video about bot hearing bombs all around him. and so we worry about the fact that he's being held underground by a terrorist group. of course, we worry about the fact that he's starving when viva came out because she talked to us about how they were beginning to starve. and i can't imagine that that hasn't gotten so much worse. you can see it on his face. and we also worry about the bombs going off keith siegel is one of several american hostages being held, she makes reference to a viva that's his wife, who was also a hostage. but she was released back in november. so hannah, as you hear their aggression on
11:06 am
believes also that the release of this weekend's videos and that of hersh goldberg-polin seen it a proof of life video last week. she believes all of that our signals from hamas that they are ready to make a deal do you agree hamas has been ready to make a deal for quite some time, but their conditions are that the deal food, the formal end of the war, and his commitment to israeli withdrawal from gaza and that's a step too far for the current israeli government. nothing you who was held hostage by the right-wing, more right-wing elements within his government say that if nothing, you agrees to end the war. in fact, if the agrees not to attack and refer, his government will break apart. nothing is most concerned with the prolongation of his government which means that he wants to prolong the war. and here's where we're stuck because the negotiators have come back to israel, the qatar and egyptians over and over again and said that hamas is
11:07 am
willing to release all the hostages dead and alive, or 100 33 of them. >> but the condition is that this war come to an end. >> and here's where we're stuck and so hannah seem to think that beak, that this isn't coming to an end, or at least an agreement seems elusive. >> at least in part because of prime minister netanyahu. and that it's not in his political interests. she believes to close a deal. do you share that same view? >> i do i think it's very clear that nothing you has missed opportunities that have been there on the table in the past months to make a deal. there was a short period of time when there might have been possible to do what they call a humanitarian deal. a release of the remaining women and children, sick, elderly, and wounded without lt. israeli commitment to end the war. but israel was too slow to act on that. and hamas-linked back and
11:08 am
hearten its positions. and demanded the end of the war. and here as i said, nothing you does not want to end the war. he believes that there can be the complete victory that no one else agrees with. there's no such thing as a complete victory in the citrus circumstance pence's the longer that israel remains in gaza, the more we will see armed insurgency against israel and will encourage the development of, of, of hamas and more radical groups than hamas. there must be a political alternative put on the table for the day after, and nothing you and his government refused to do that? the negotiators are stuck. they can't negotiate without having an alternative to help us on the table because it israeli withdrawal from gaza and ending the war leaves from us in place in gaza the us secretary of state antony blinken, heading to saudi arabia to try again to end this deadlock. >> so what can be done or sad from his point of view, from his role that hasn't already well, i think that the saudis and the other arab neighbors,
11:09 am
the moderate sunni arab states, have been talking to the palestinians of different factions and trying to come up with a solution of a credible, legitimate palestinian entity that can take over control of the gaza strip. but not only the gaza strip, the west bank as well. and here there would be a requirement for president abbas, the long term palestinian president, 18 years are 19 years in a four-year term, who has lost his legitimacy amongst his own people, he would have to step aside. >> and here we have a great reluctance from his sayyed as well. >> but perhaps the arab countries can persuade abbas to step aside and they can support a credible, legitimate palestinian 11 to take over with the agreement of the saudis and the jordanians and the egyptians and the emirati use and perhaps others to send a peacekeeping force to gaza once israel withdraws, this is the political element that knocked on you if to accept. and perhaps the the karatay that the american administration is waving in front of. notting l of
11:10 am
normalization of relations between israel and saudi arabia might be sweet enough for nothing. you to try and accept and persuade his government to accept do you find any encouragement that an end is near i'm rather skeptical i don't think that hamas will agree to a partial deal. >> i hope that they would. so we can get some kind of ceasefire. i believe that once we have a ceasefire in place for four weeks or five weeks thanks for six weeks. there might be a way of negotiating to turn that into a permanent ceasefire the end of the war and the political solution that we need to enable israel to withdraw from gaza. right now, we're deadlocked. the war goes on. these really thin of the incursion into rafat is genuine. you don't make threats unless you intend to carry them out. israel has issued draft notices to reserve soldiers to show up on may 1st to begin their preparation for the incursion into rafah. so i think everything must be done
11:11 am
to prevent that because there are a millionaire now palestinians in that small area of the gaza strip. and we really do need to get the hostages home. to end this war enough already john baskin, thanks so much thank you all right, let's get more now. >> how on this breaking news from the white house, a source telling cnn that president joe biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke earlier today, cnn white house correspondent for scylla alvarez, joining us now priscilla, expecting that there will be one later today, fredrick up at a source telling me that this morning president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu did connect by phone. >> now of course, the two leaders have spoken multiple times since the october 7 terrorist attacks, although less frequently, over for recent months as there had been a public rift that had started to unfold and how israel was handling the conflict in gaza as they were trying to, in their words, eliminate hamas.
11:12 am
but there is a lot for the two of them to discuss. of course, not so long ago we had those is really strikes against iran now, they had not spoken after that. in fact, the white house had really kept a tightlipped strategy as that unfolded. and israel did as well. and so that is something that we know they've talked about before, particularly after iran struck israel. so that could have been something that came up in this phone call between the two liters? but also as you were just talking there with your guest about the hostage deal, this has been front of mind for us officials four months. now it's a top priority one that they consistently come back to and are concerned about because it is a deal that until it's finalized, it's not clear whether it can come through. that was the case in last november. and so this is a topic of discussion, particularly with the secretary of state in the region that the two are expected to have discussed. and if there can be a ceasefire that can be
11:13 am
reached, and that is really where it has gotten quite tricky and whether they can agree on the parameters of what a ceasefire would look like. whether to where israel stands with its operation into rafah. that is a place where over 1 million palestinians have been displaced in the has stood firm and their position that it would that they couldn't support that type of operation, given how many people are there and they're concerned about containing any sort of civilian casualties. so there's a whole gamut of issues that these two liters likely talked about. we'll get that readout later this afternoon to get a little more detail as to what that was, but clearly, when these to jump on the phone, it does come at a pivotal moment. and that is one that we're in right now. >> all right. priscilla alvarez at the white house. thanks so much. >> all right. right. now, we're seeing more pro-palestinian protests at colleges across the country after more than 200 protesters were arrested, add just for us campuses on saturday every piece of

11:19 am
party presidential candidate jill stein was among more than 80 arrested during a protest at washington university in st. louis the school says demonstrators included students, employees, and people not associated with the university. and at arizona state university officials say a majority of the 72 arrested there for trespass passing on friday. we're not students tensions have been mounting for months following hamas is horrific october 7 attack on israel and the war in gaza, pro-palestinian groups are demanding an end to the war. and for universities to divest from israel-linked entities. >> we have correspondents covering the protest coast-to-coast. >> cnn's polo sandoval, is at columbia university in new york and cnn's camila bernal is at ucla in los angeles. let's begin with you, camila, what is the situation there? >> hey brian it's a lot more tense right now. there's a lot more confrontation and at violence the university was
11:20 am
trying to keep your testers february, right? so here on this side, you have the pro-palestinian and they were supposed to be closer to their camp. this is actually not at the moment, so this is an area that the university said eventually, people booked through those barriers and that's where you're encountering both protons. so on this side of me, you're seeing the group supporting the jewish students here at the university and what they're telling me is that they're going to have that image, the video, right? going up for days to comment. they say they're going to be images rub what hamas has done in israel for the students that are in the encampment can see those images. again barry high patches on dolce sides. i went these two come together, we have seen confrontations like you're seeing right now. uh, people four evening at each other sometimes shoving and pushing here. and it does get violent at times. again, and it is people on both sides of this
11:21 am
issue. i'm not talking about one side or the other. both of them extremely passionate. they're screaming at each other and, you know, i talked to them separately and organizers on both sides they say that they're trying to keep things peaceful. they say that they're trying to get the other side to understand that the reality is that that's not so what you're saying it possible to get these people to agree ending university not have police officers on standby. they are not here at the moment. the policy has that the non cummins until the point they feel the way. so i did see ryan here standings died, then we'll see how the day develops. but again, even the universe confirming that there had been violent here, there has been some harassment. it is not what we saw yesterday. >> wow, passion on both sides. one campus there, and ucla. >> thank you so much. payload. check back with you hello, to you. >> columbia university is seen as the epicenter of the movement. so what is happening
11:22 am
there today in new york? >> for it, it really is quite the juxtaposition when you see those images have been on the other side of the country and then you come here to the northeast where that movement actually originated, where we have seen relative calm all weekend off campus and also on where that imc campaign and now continues just for well, about a week-and-a-half or so in terms of the demands of those students, we heard from them, they said that they have seen some progress on a couple of their demands, mainly in transparency when it comes to the university's investments. also some progress when it comes to so the president's potentially statement that she may possibly issue when and if it's gets resolved. however, that's sticking points about the investment that is where the university answered negotiator there's have not seen any common ground and we are told as we get ready for yet another week of potential protests here at columbia university, both on-campus and off-campus is important to remind you, it's at those let's negotiations. they are still ongoing though there haven't been any updates this weekend, as for columbia university, no doubt every every day, certainly ramps up
11:23 am
the pressure on the university so you see what will be their next step. will they once again call on the nypd for assistance and clearing out that encampment on campus is which would make them subject of a columbia senate investigation. or do they allow them to those students to continue to camp out in a peaceful way on the lawn, which is expected to be the stage of this massive commitments commencement ceremony. in less than two weeks quite extraordinary in both campuses. i polo sandoval, camila bernal. thank you so much so there remains growing debate on capitol hill about how to handle the widespread pro-palestinian protests and golfing college campuses last week, house speaker mike johnson visited columbia university's seen by many as a launchpad for the student-led movement. as polo said, well, the house speaker said, he's demanding president biden send in the national guard. but today, senator tim kaine said that would be a big mistake.
11:24 am
>> i think calling in the national guard to college campuses for so many people would recall what happened when that was done during the vietnam war. and it didn't end. well, there are other ways using campus security, but also again, offering students more opportunities to have dialogue that is, that is civil and concern structure of people hear one another. that's by far preferable, so no, i do not think the national guard is a solution to this all right. >> i'm doing now by frederick lawrence. he is a lecturer at georgetown law school as senior research scholar at yale law school, and the former president of brandeis university. great to see good to be with you today. >> so let's begin with what we just heard. do you think sending in the national guard is a viable solution for some of these campus protests. >> i think that's the last preference by far, you've got to take a step back and see what's making this so difficult to of the core values
11:25 am
of the institution of higher education are coming into conflict here. first and foremost is free expression academic freedom, free inquiry, the right to think, to question, to raise issues, express oneself. the other, of course, is to keep the campus safe. but we have to remember keeping the campus safe is instrumental to higher education were is free the expression is fundamental to higher education. so campuses have to start with the proposition that we're going to allow expression unless what, unless there's actual violence and unless it disrupts the operation of the university, where those things are not happening, we have to be very careful to try to dial down the pressure you bring national guard onto campus and you dialing up the pressure in a very major insignificant and dangerous way all right. >> i want to ask you more on that in a second, but first i do want to also follow up with you on what we just saw happening at ucla today you saw are corresponding camila bernal there on the ucla campus. and they have decided to allow like side-by-side protests. and she
11:26 am
said it's got a little heated. people have been arguing. it can be confrontational there, right? there. is that a compromise that is unique perhaps to that university, or is that something that other campuses might be exploring making sure that they have a space for all sides to demonstrate, to gather simultaneously the model of having all sides able to demonstrate is exactly the right model. >> and if you do put people next to each other, which they've done at ucla and other schools have, of course you're going to have tension and of course you're going to have what we saw behind your reporter and and it feels like it's a very tense situation. it is a tense situation that's not the same thing as violence. it's good to police your standing by its good through there in case something does go in that direction, but you don't start that way and letting people express themselves is a very important way to do it. and obviously the goal is to get them to listen to each other. that's not going to happen overnight, but by the way, that's not just about our campuses. that's true
11:27 am
in many places in our country right now, we have to learn how to listen to each other and especially how to listen to people. we don't agree with. >> and it's not just finding their voices. many of these students, these demonstrators, are actually valid that they will not stop until colleges or universities and make a variation of divestments. they are calling for action. do you think these campuses whether be columbia university, usc, ucla, are willing to do that in order to end these campaigns i think the universities are going to have those kinds of discussions that are going on behind the scenes, right now and they're gonna look for some kind of a middle position frankly, based on what we've seen on universities across the country, i'd be surprised if you see an agreement in response to this to change an investment strategy, they also have to keep in mind the way most endowments are operated today. >> not specific stocks that are owned, its funds that are owned, it's much more diffuse than that so my guess is universities are going to try
11:28 am
to find some other way of addressing these concerns that the students have. students are right to raise their concerns. they have a right to raise their concerns. but sometimes winning doesn't mean you get everything that you set out to get right? >> and maybe the goal isn't ending the campaigns, it's making sure that these campaigns were these movements can continue without posing any harm to anyone, right so you've got these college campuses that have been seeing student-led protests for a long time. i mean, historically, i mean, it is a bedrock of what it is to go to college or university right from civil rights movement to the vietnam war, to south africa as a and so much more in recent years. so why does it seem that this movement which stems from israel, hamas conflict present a greater challenge or is it not creating a greater challenge? >> i'm not sure it's a greater challenge. it feels very present because it's our challenge. but those of us who can remember what was going on campuses in the late 60s, early
11:29 am
1970s, it felt very much this kind of way. so the issues are very passionately held on multiple sides of the issue that's part of this. i think the role of texas technology, which makes it much more immediate, makes it much more possible for people to be in touch with people around the world certainly makes it more pressing. i think this is our issue. this is our time. i would also add that this is a time of enormous polarization. again, not just on campuses, but in so many ways across the country. so we shouldn't be surprised is that what we see in other places in the country, it gets reflected on campus and usually even more intensely, because the lives of our undergraduates have such until intensely lived in the world of ideas and thoughts. and policies. >> and again, we're looking at pictures. i believe these are live pictures, right? correct me if i'm okay. live pictures right now, ucla campus, while that campus is encouraging, allowing protests, those who are pro israel, pro palestinian are they're sharing the same space. and we just saw a little pushing back and forth and hopefully that's the worst of it, doesn't get any worse than
11:30 am
that, but let me ask you real quick, though. a teachable moment. i'm hearing that from a lot of academicians this is a teachable moment how and how can that be encouraged on campus without violence breaking out? >> there a lot of things happening on campus besides what you see in those demonstrations, classroom discussions are going on a georgetown law, i teach a class in higher education law. i teach a class in free speech on campus i have a syllabus that i said six months ago, but you can bet that we have very that syllabus to take these very issues into account. i'm not the only academic and the country doing that people all over the country, you're doing that we'll, we'll never, never solve problems of ignorance by punishing people in disciplining people, you don't discipline ignorance, you educate ignorance. if we think students don't have a full grasp of the issues our job as universities is to educate them. and i think that's what universities do best, i'm not saying it's easy in this time. i'm just saying it's essentially when core to our mission. >> frederick lawrence formerly the president of brandeis

11:36 am
missile and drone attack earlier this month. recall that when that occurred the white house took a pretty tight lip strategy. they didn't weigh in on it and israel also was quiet about it, but this is a moment where when the two connected, they did discuss it they also talked about the hostage deal. this again, has been a top priority for us officials and it includes a six-week temporary ceasefire, as well as the release of hostages so just to allow for the also the opportunity to get additional humanitarian aid into gaza. this has been an ongoing effort. secretary of state antony blinken is in the region now and clearly we're at a pivotal moment with the two discussing it in their phone call today. they also talked about, again, humanitarian aid into gaza, another priority for this white house and one that they have been hammered on by the president's own party as well as by humanitarian aid organizations and the protests across the country, given the situation that is unfolding in gaza. and importantly that rafah operation is has said that they may move into rafah. that is been a concern for the
11:37 am
white house because there are more than 1 million he and displaced palestinians there and they have wanted to contain civilian casualties. so this operation is one that the us has been certain about and in this readout it says, quote, the leaders discussed rafah and the president reiterated his clear position is position being right now is untenable given how many civilians are rafah. so clearly the two of them discussing multiple top priority issues for this white house in this phone call that happened earlier today between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. now, it is about monitoring what happens as a result of this call for israel. >> all right. priscilla alvarez, keep us posted. thank you so much from the white house. all right. so we are following new developments now on the pro-palestinian protests and counterprotests happening right now at ucla, cnn's camila bernal is in the thick of it. all with these dueling protests taking place, sharing the same space what's happening almost
11:38 am
two students since we told you many more, i'll locations and coverage very who is the goal vary wildly even protesters fighting with so what? you're seeing choose sides, showing to push into each other the people who are supporting the jewish students have a force set up a stage and they are speaking, they're singing. but you also have on the other side the students that are supporting the pro-palestinian movement. and they're just trying to push into each other's spaces. so you see some the students on the pro-palestinian sayyed linking arms, trying to get closer and closer to the group supporting the jewish students and vice versa, you feel a lot of the jewish suborders essentially trying to get closer to the pro palestinians. >> and that's when you have these confrontations. and that's when you have people shout at each other. >> and really there is no way to get these people to agree. this is just more passionate or
11:39 am
shouting about their issues. >> and who want to now their voices heard you know, i've talked to people on both sides of this issue who have told me that yet they're trying to keep it peaceful. but the reality is that it has not always been peaceful here this is separate from the university encampment. the university really trying to keep those two areas separate, but it has been almost impossible for the university to really control what's going on. and again, right now, we have not seen police his officers being involved that we did see officers with riot gear sort of standing to the side. but as of now still no police involvement. again, we'll have to wait too. see how this all develops, but we have seen many, many more confrontations here, fred. >> all right, so why behind you then? so you've got pro israel and you've got pro-palestinian demonstrations right there on-campus. and these are sanctioned meeting being encouraged by the university correct? i mean, these are i guess the parameters that the university has imposed to say
11:40 am
we want these dueling demonstrations, protests to happen side-by-side right here yeah. >> and they've tried to keep these barriers in place and those security guards really trying to stand firm against those barriers. i'll show you them right? now. if we can get closer to them and you'll see the security guards because they do not want to involve police officers. so instead, they're using these security guards and trying to keep the two sides apart. so what you're seeing across that's the encampment that's a lot of the students that have been participating in the encampment. they tried to block it off with that would so that you don't see get through it. but back there is where all the students that have been participating in that encampment and that protests have been so on this side, you're seeing a lot more of the jewish students and those supporting the jewish students they have taken over this area was a set which essentially is what the university wants to do. they want to keep them separate at times, they just absolutely cannot do that, but they can take can you try to keep them separate right. >> i say that the physical
