Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with two pieces of breaking news. As the Israel-Hamas war escalates, in Washington, D.C. major political drama is unfolding on Capitol Hill. During a moment of international crisis, the House remains without a speaker as the Republican majority is unable to garner enough support for their nominee. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he is forming an emergency unity government in the wake of the Hamas attack, adding two opposition leaders to his cabinet. In a news briefing, Netanyahu said the newly formed government would "crush" Hamas. This comes as Israel has intensified its retaliation against Hamas, relentlessly bombarding Gaza with missiles, leaving the streets unrecognizable, and entire neighborhoods destroyed. NBC News’ Richard Engel joins Joy Reid with more live from Ashdod, Israel on a possible ground invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces.
