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.

This week, Fareed speaks with CNN reporter Nada Bashir, who provides an update on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza. Next, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak joins Fareed. They discuss the anticipated Israeli ground invasion and the failure of Israeli leadership to avoid this conflict. Fareed also asks Barak whether the proposed Israeli-Palestinian peace deal from the 2000 Camp David Summit stands any chance of being revived today. Then, Fareed hosts former U.S. military general and CIA director David Petraeus and historian Andrew Roberts. They consider what an end to this war could look like as well as possible counterinsurgency strategies, both in the context of Israel-Hamas and in today's other major world conflict: the Ukraine war.
