Israeli far right sees victory as ‘ultimate annihilation of the Gaza Strip’ | Israel War on Gaza

Marc Lamont Hill talks to journalist Orly Noy about the extreme elements in Israel’s leadership.

Israel’s war on Gaza rages on with the death toll at more than 35,000 Palestinians and climbing.

Many of the coalition’s far-right members have urged the prime minister to ignore growing international pressure to rein in Israel’s onslaught on the territory.

What does Georgia’s foreign influence bill mean for its bid to join the EU? | TV Shows

Protesters took to the streets in Tblisi after Georgia’s Parliament approved ‘foreign agents’ law.

Georgia’s Parliament has signed off on a controversial bill, sparking outrage in the capital.

In April, the government announced it was reviving legislation that would require media and nongovernmental organisations to register themselves as foreign agents if they receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad.

That led to weeks of mass demonstrations.

The government says the law is needed to promote transparency and preserve sovereignty. But critics say the bill drives Georgia closer to Russia.

How will it affect the country’s hopes of joining the European Union?

Presenter: Tom McRae

Guests:
