    What are Trump's plans for Gaza?

    The fragility of Trump’s Gaza peace plan is already on full display. Israel has halved aid deliveries to Gaza, accusing Hamas of breaking the ceasefire agreement by refusing to return the bodies of hostages. Now, as President Trump announces the launch of Phase Two of the deal, big questions remain: what does this next phase involve and is the ceasefire already at risk? In this week’s episode of TrumpWorld, Anushka Asthana and Matt Frei speak with Jasmine El-Gamal, a former Pentagon advisor on the Middle East. They unpack the future of Trump’s Gaza strategy, the power dynamics at play, and whether peace is really within reach - or just another illusion.

    Will Trump make peace in Gaza?

    On the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks, a new push for peace in Gaza is gaining momentum and this time it’s being driven directly by President Trump. His personal involvement marks a major shift from previous negotiations, raising hopes and deep scepticism in equal measure. In this week’s episode of TrumpWorld, Anushka Asthana speaks with our Foreign Correspondent Secunder Kermani, who has reported extensively from the region. Since the attacks, Secunder has made dozens of trips to Israel and was among the few international journalists embedded with the IDF inside Gaza during the early stages of the war.

    Why Trump is turning further against Putin on Ukraine

    President Donald Trump's combative 57-minute address at the United Nation on Tuesday took direct aim at global leaders - criticising their approach to migration, climate policy, and failure to end wars. He's also since taken to Truth Social to say Ukraine could get back all the land they have lost since Russia's 2022 invasion. But beyond the applause and outrage, what was he really saying? And what does that mean for the rest of the world? In today's episode of TrumpWorld, Anushka and Matt unpack that speech with Malcolm Turnbull - who served as the Prime Minister of Australia during Donald Trump's first term.
