In a fiery segment on Fox News' The Story, Fox News contributor Leo Terrell and network pundit Jessica Tarlov engaged in a heated debate over Israel and President Joe Biden's policies. The discussion quickly escalated, with accusations and raised voices filling the airwaves.

The initial topic of the segment was a high-dollar fundraiser planned for President Biden, which is expected to raise over $25 million for his re-election campaign. However, the conversation took a contentious turn when guest anchor Trace Gallagher mentioned the likelihood of pro-Palestinian protesters interrupting the event.

Tarlov, who is accustomed to being the resident liberal on the show, attempted to calmly respond to Terrell's assertions. However, Terrell grew increasingly animated, accusing Biden of abandoning Israel and Jewish American students at American universities.

Shouting over Tarlov, Terrell exclaimed, "Joe Biden has a Michigan policy-kowtow to the pro-Palestinian groups in America. He has abandoned Israel! It's not just Israel he abandoned! Jewish Americans attending universities! Shame on Joe Biden! This is ridiculous! It's outrageous!"

Tarlov, the sole Jewish-American on the panel, attempted to provide her perspective but was repeatedly interrupted by Terrell's outbursts. Despite the numerous interruptions, she managed to voice that while some Jewish Americans have concerns about Biden's Israel policies, they also view him as a strong supporter of the country.

The exchange grew more tense as Tarlov reminded Terrell that he had brought up Jewish Americans' opinions on Biden first. Terrell, seemingly outraged, accused Tarlov of playing the "race card" and defending Biden as a "big-time Democrat."

Gallagher, the guest anchor, intervened and gave Tarlov a brief opportunity to respond. During this time, Tarlov highlighted the complexities of the Israel issue and the need to find a humanitarian solution while supporting Israel's interests.

Terrell, unable to contain his anger, erupted once more, shouting "Why are you yelling?" in response to Tarlov's calm demeanor.

The segment came to an end as Gallagher mercifully brought it to a close, putting an end to the heated exchange between Terrell and Tarlov.

The passionate clash between Terrell and Tarlov underscores the deeply divisive nature of discussions surrounding Israel and President Biden's policies. As the debate continues, finding common ground and fostering constructive dialogue remains a challenge in the current political landscape.
