Israel, preparing for a possible Rafah invasion, faces increased tension with the U.S. over the Gaza humanitarian crisis. To the north, it's also confronting Hezbollah attacks coming in from Lebanon.
Cecilia Vega (in studio): Lesley Stahl has spent a week on the ground in Israel, where its military is engaged on three fronts – with Hezbollah in the north, with Iran in the east and the ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza, that has created catastrophic civilian consequences.
Lesley Stahl: In terms of American opinion, things have shifted against Israel because of these images of all the civilians, horrible scenes of devastation.
He gave us a rare tour of Israeli air force headquarters, which they taped for us, with no sound and blurred for security reasons.
He showed us where he sat the night of April 13, when Iran blitzed Israel from its own soil for the first time, to retaliate for the assassination in Damascus of a top Iranian general.
One reason Iran failed was because a surprising coalition joined forces to help Israel, including several Arab states like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tested the “special relationship” this week with a public message for President Biden: that the incursion into Rafah is on with or without the U.S. weapons.
