Thousands of Palestinians overrun aid distribution site in Gaza

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Thousands of Palestinians stormed an aid distribution site in Gaza, which is being administered by a controversial body backed by the US and Israel. It was the first full day of operations for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has faced criticism from the UN as unethical. Tonight we hear from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert who says the Israeli government is committing war crimes, as well as a pro-government MP. King Charles has opened Canada's parliament, the first time a monarch has done so since 1977. His speech referred to the importance of protecting Canada's sovereignty, as US President Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex the country. And is pro-natalism set to become a force in British politics, as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says he wants to make it easier for people to have children?
