About this episode

Fears abound in the Middle East that the crisis there may intensify as the US re-designates Yemen's Houthis as a global terrorist entity. Of course, all roads lead back to Israel and Gaza, where, according to the health ministry in Gaza, more than 1% of the enclave's population has been killed since the war began. Christiane spoke about all this with the former head of Saudi intelligence Prince Turki Al Faisal. 

Also on today's show: actress America Ferrera; Former US Deputy National Security Adviser Matt Pottinger
