Reaction from Gaza to Trump's takeover plan

We speak to people in Gaza about President Trump's plan to take control of the territory.

There's been international criticism of President Trump's call for the US to take control of Gaza and displace its entire Palestinian population. By contrast, far right politicians in Israel have welcomed Mr Trump's proposal. We hear from people in Gaza.

Our International Chief Correspondent Lyse Doucet joins to talk about the reaction in Israel and what the immediate impact could be on the Gaza ceasefire and the hostage release process.

We speak to BBC Arabic about the reaction in the region geographically closest to Gaza.

The Taliban has suspended Afghanistan's only women’s radio station. We speak to our colleague from BBC Afghan.

Presenter: Mark Lowen.
