IT: IDF continues searching Gaza hospital, and... How do you feel about the U.S.-China climate deal?

Welcome to Thursday, November 16th, listeners and viewers...

The latest: IDF is searching the Al-Shifa hospital for a second day.

The Israeli military claims that the hospital harbors a secret Hamas base and subterranean fortifications, but has yet to produce evidence of this publicly. The argument that Hamas has a base at the hospital is central to the IDF's defense of its actions.

The U.N. Security Council called for an immediate, multi-day humanitarian pause in the fighting to allow much-needed aid to reach civilians.
