Tens of thousands Israelis protest against Netanyahu's plan

Netanyahu rejects the criticism and insists his country will 'free Gaza from Hamas'

Thousands took to the streets of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv last night to call for an end to the war in Gaza, a day after the government vowed to expand and capture Gaza City. Gill Dickman, whose cousin Carmel Gat and aunt were killed by Hamas militants, joins us.

Also in the programme: European and Ukrainian leaders gathered on Saturday outside London with top American officials to discuss the upcoming summit meeting between the presidents Trump and Putin; and, UN's food agency World Food Programme has warned that families trapped within the besieged Sudanese city of el-Fasher are facing starvation.
