Beau speaks about France's draft for a cease fire in Gaza that also recognizes a Palestinian state, followed by a statement by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff regarding aid to Israel that indicates that some of the requests for weapons were not met while others will have to be prioritized due to the war in Ukraine.
