About this episode
Global outrage is building as the hunger crisis in Gaza descends into new depths of horror. Even aid workers themselves — the people tasked with helping Palestinians find food and water — say they, too, are starving. The ballooning crisis comes amid months of severe aid restrictions imposed by Israel, which has justified its actions with claims that Hamas has been stealing food and other supplies to maintain its control of the territory. But even President Donald Trump said Monday that Israel needs to do more to let aid in. Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen joins us to talk about the worsening hunger crisis in Gaza, how the U.S. is complicit, and what should be done next.
And in headlines: President Trump declines to rule out a pardon for Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, former North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper announces a Senate run, and a federal judge blocks Medicaid cuts for Planned Parenthood clinics.
