Journalist and author Fareed Zakaria hosts this in-depth look at the major global developments of the week (the title's "GPS" stands for "Global Public Square"), with an emphasis on new ideas and innovative solutions to the World's toughest problems. Each episode also features Zakaria leading a panel discussion and interviewing a major world figure.
Today's show covers the unprecedented attack on Israel by Hamas and Israel's subsequent retaliation on Gaza. First, Fareed talks with CNN reporter Nic Robertson, who gives a live update of the situation on the ground from Sderot, Israel. Next, he speaks to former Israeli Justice Minister and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, then former Palestinian Minister of Information Mustafa Barghouti. Fareed also speaks with Naftali Bennett, the former Israeli Prime Minister, about the brutality taking place against Israeli citizens as well as the intelligence failure that allowed an attack of this magnitude to take place. Plus, Fareed asks NYT columnist and former Jerusalem bureau chief Tom Friedman about the implications of this attack for the Israeli government, the broader Middle East region, and beyond.
