What next for Gaza after Witkoff visit?

US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has for the first time visited a controversial Israel-and US-backed aid distribution site in Gaza. The United Nations has described the aid system run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, as a death trap.

Also in the programme: President Trump has ordered the sacking of the head of the US Bureau of Labour Statistics, Erika McEntarfer, just hours after the agency she headed reported weaker than expected jobs growth; and, many countries are looking at changing their laws on social media platforms with Australia leading the way.

Presenter Rebecca Kesby is joined by Olga Oliker, Programme Director for Europe and Central Asia at the International Crisis Group and Eric Albert, a French journalist and European Economic Correspondent for the French daily, Le Monde
