About this episode
Donald Trump once promised he’d bring peace to the Middle East the moment he returned to the White House.
Now, he’s backing a new 20-point plan with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - a proposal he says will lead to "eternal peace" in the region.
It’s a bold claim for one of the world’s most intractable conflicts - so can it deliver peace in Gaza?
And back home, the government has finally sat down with Optus. Conversations have been had, public statements have been made - but will anything come of it?
Brett Worthington and Acting Defence Correspondent Olivia Caisley break it all down on Politics Now.
