Trump Moves to Gut USAID & Takeover Gaza

Trump and Musk are all but razing the U.S. federal government. This week, USAID, a critical arm of U.S. soft power around the world was effectively dismantled and a purge of the FBI and CIA appear well underway. Christiane speaks with Matthew Bartlett, former Trump appointee to the State Department about the President's latest shake-up in Washington. Then, as the White House walks back some of Trump's comments about Gaza's future, while regional powers outright reject his proposal, Mustafa Barghouti, President of the Palestinian National Initiative Party joined Christiane from Ramallah with the Palestinian rresponse. And to explore whether there is any hope left for a two-state solution, Christiane sits down with Daniel Levy, president of the U.S.-Middle East Project and an adviser in the government of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who put forward the most far reaching Israeli proposal at the doomed Camp David Summit nearly a quarter of a century ago. Also, as Trump signals openness to Israeli annexation of the West Bank this weel, Christiane revisits her 2007 report about the rise of Israel's extremist religious settler movement. And finally, with less than a month until the Academy Awards, Mikey Madison joins Christiane to discuss her breakout performance in "Anora," where she plays a Brooklyn sex worker who falls in love with the son of a Russian Oligarch. She's up for an Oscar having already earned nominations for best actress at every major awards ceremony. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
