At home, the president addressed the pro-Palestinian protests that have spread across college campuses. And abroad, the Biden administration continues to work toward a deal with Saudi Arabia that would allow for a bilateral defense agreement with the United States. Such plans, however, are contingent on how the conflict in Israel continues to unfold.Meanwhile, both Biden and former President Donald Trump are grappling with how their approach to the war in Gaza will play out in their campaigns for the presidency. As Biden balances his stance on Israel with appeals to younger voters, Trump aims to keep his focus on student unrest in an attempt to fracture the Democratic coalition to his advantage, especially in swing states.Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Eric Cortellessa, a staff writer for Time; Franklin Foer, a staff writer for The Atlantic; Asma Khalid, a White House correspondent for NPR; and Nancy Youssef, a national security correspondent for The Wall Street Journal.Watch the full episode here.
