As Israel launches a new offensive in Gaza, half a million Palestinians are facing starvation. In Sudan, 12 million people have fled their homes and 150,000 have died. Why isn’t the world doing more, and what can still be done? Martin Griffiths, formerly the United Nations’ lead humanitarian official, joined FP Live to explore solutions for the humanitarian crises around the world.
Just as in his first term, U.S. President Donald Trump made his first state visit abroad to Saudi Arabia. He also visited Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Why are the Gulf states growing in influence? What does it mean for the United States and the world?
Middle East expert F. Gregory Gause joined FP Live to examine the rising clout of the Gulf.
U.S. President Donald Trump came to office promising to end illegal immigration through mass deportations. So far, border crossings have plummeted, and arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement have doubled. But the administration is actually deporting fewer immigrants on average than the Biden administration did last year. What’s holding back their plan, and what might happen next?
FP’s Ravi Agrawal sat down with Janet Napolitano, a former U.S. secretary of homeland security who ramped up deportations during the Obama administration.
Early Wednesday morning, after weeks of pledging to retaliate for a deadly terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, India launched missiles across its border into Pakistan. Meanwhile, Pakistan claims it took down Indian fighter jets and has vowed to respond. How far will tensions spiral? Or will both sides claim victory? FP’s Ravi Agrawal will put these questions to Tanvi Madan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
