White House Unveils 20-Point Gaza Peace ...

NPR
About this episode
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a plan that could yield an end to the war in Gaza. But Hamas was not involved in crafting the 20-point plan, and it’s not clear whether they will agree to it. We discuss what benefits the plan has for each side and how the United States’ involvement fits into Trump’s America-first vision.

This episode: voting and election security correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez, and national security correspondent Greg Myre.

This podcast was produced by Casey Morell & Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye.

Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
