CBS' Margaret Brennan confronted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the growing distrust of him within the U.S. government, questioning Israel's tactics and his leadership amid pressure to negotiate a new hostage deal with Hamas.

House Speaker Mike Johnson bristled at CBS's Margaret Brennan when she confronted him about his support for Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election results, insisting that his actions did not make him an "election denier." Johnson defended his position by claiming that the Constitution was violated in the run-up to the 2020 election due to changes in election laws made by states to address pandemic-related complications. He also accused House Republican Conference chairwoman Liz Cheney of considering backing the lawsuit, a claim she later rejected.
CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan pressed Palestinian Ambassador to the U.K. Husam Zomlot over his failure to condemn Hamas and its recent attacks on Israel. Zomlot called for the U.S. to recognize the Palestinian state and be the peacemaker instead.

Zomlot emphasized that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) represents the Palestinian people, not the Palestinian Authority. The discussion also touched on the U.S. designating the PLO as a terrorist organization and the need for accountability. President Biden has called for a concentrated effort towards a two-state solution, but Israel has vowed to eliminate Hamas.
