The video is in an embedded tweet.
Here's a YouTube link I found, doesn't have the gaza footage. https://youtu.be/hyqFFsRifFM?si=AInna89KnC3CXGIH
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
the idf guy saying 'thats not what we're saying' when that literally was what he was saying and he knows it and how he fucked up
Modern journalism: telling us rather than showing us.
Fair. It does have the news reporter tweet with the video embedded though.
Link the tweet too then.
For real wtf
They might have added it later, I’m not sure, but the video is in the X post at the bottom of the article - I just watched it through the article.
It’s almost as if, and hear me out guys, ISRAEL ARE NOT THE GOOD GUYS HERE.

The Good Guys™ strike again!
Strike I see what you did there :)
I think he just didn't know what else to say when he pretended they were losing sound.
Wolf sucks. The IDF guy is admitting to mass murder right in front him and everyone. No self-respecting journalist would let it slide like that.
What do you mean "Let it slide"? He repeatedly pressed the guy on the point. He cut the spokesman off when he tried to change the subject. He stayed on the point about Isreal bombing innocents for as long as he reasonably could, and refused to accept any of the evasive and weasely answers the spokesman tried to give him.
What exactly do you want here? For him to scream at the guy, call him a murderer, tell him he's going to burn in hell? That's not journalism, that's self-indulgence. Wolf was doing exactly what a good journalist should do, trying to get to the truth of the story, and he only gave up when he'd gotten as far as he could from this particular avenue.

"There was a hamas commander so we dropped a giant bomb on a refugee camp full of women and children."
"It sounds like I'm hearing you dropped a bomb on a refugee camp full of woman and children to kill a hamas commander."
"No. Uhh, tunnels. Complicated situation."
Wild to watch this CNN elder short circuit because he can't figure out how to make the narrative fit.
he didnt let it slide?
To me it seemed like he was struggling to give the IDF guy an out and make it fit the narrative.
No self respecting anybody would be called "Wolf Blitzer" like what kind of dumbass childish crap is that
💯
I genuinely feel bad for any liberals who haven't figured out they're basically just polite nazis. That's gotta be a really rough realization. Spending your entire life thinking you're doing the right thing only to suddenly have it revealed that everything you were living for was a lie.
Now for those of them that are aware what liberalism stands for and are still going? Straight to hell.
"How is it that we hear the loudest yelps of liberty among the riders of negroes?"
You somehow twisted this in your mind as some kind of gotcha that lets you preen in your selfish politics.

Define "liberal". Then maybe the rest of what you said can fall in place.
Not OP but I think they meant supporters of neoliberal economic policy and somewhat progressive social policies. "Liberal" like American liberal politics. The point being that they think they have good politics because they think trans people are people and aren't the kind of right wing fanatic we get a lot of. They're "left" to the extent that the American political spectrum allows for without understanding what "left" actually means, without being conscious of the overarching machinations that make then think their politics are good even as they continue to feed a system that intentionally blinds them to any honest criticism.
supporters of neoliberal economic policy and somewhat progressive social policies. "
There's nothing progressive about airstrikes on civilians. Never has been.

Not sure if it seems like the headline claims, but in my case, from what I saw, Wolf had a cutout over the satalite feed, maybe on purpose? I hate it when the video isn't added in the article.
CNN continuing to pretend this was a modern refugee camp, and not a city in North Gaza named Refugee Camp. They were told to evacuate and did not. CNN has thrown all pretense of honest journalism out of the window.
It's "at a loss for words", not "at a lost of words".
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer seemed at a loss for words at the justification being used to bomb a refugee camp in Gaza.
