The current conflict between Israel and Gaza stems from long-standing tensions but was exacerbated after a major attack by armed groups from Gaza on October 7, 2023, resulting in over 1,200 Israeli deaths and 250 hostages being taken. This prompted a large-scale military response by Israel, including airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza, which have killed over 41,000 Palestinians, with tens of thousands more injured and displaced. The escalation in violence has also created a humanitarian crisis. The biggest question... will these hostilities ever come to an end? Is there hope for a two-state plan between Israel and Gaza? Using data driven analytics, Israeli policy expert Dahlia Scheindlin and Palestinian public opinion and polling expert Khalil Shikaki reveal the thoughts and mindsets of these two fighting populations and if peace is possible in the Middle East.

Bashar Al-Assad is now the former president of Syria—after being forced out by rebels over the weekend. It follows more than 24 years of what Syrian citizens described as a brutal dictatorship. According to the Biden Administration, the future of Syria is uncertain with a reported terrorist group now in charge. Michelle Nunn, the president and CEO of CARE USA, discusses how CARE is responding to what it calls the enormous humanitarian needs of vulnerable people in Syria. People across the U.S. and the world are remembering the literary giant Nikki Giovanni. The poet, civil rights pioneer, author, educator and activist passed away earlier this week. She was 81.

Eighteen months of war have forced more than 10 million Sudanese from their homes, created the world's largest hunger crisis, and triggered terrible war crimes.

Comprehensive border and immigration reform has eluded policymakers in the U.S. for decades. As global turmoil and conflict grows, questions and concerns still remain about the economic, security, and humanitarian justification and rationale for immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees seeking entry into the U.S. Vitriolic rhetoric, which has largely impeded meaningful progress, has only intensified in the months leading up to one of the most consequential elections in history. In the midst of all of this, somewhat of a miracle has materialized: bipartisan collaboration. Our guest this week served as the chief negotiator of a border bill that was negotiated between Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy is the junior U.S. Senator for Connecticut and is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. He joins WITHpod to discuss what has historically hindered a significant revamp of American immigration policy, how he was able to help broker conservative partnership, his concerns about “unaccountable elites, the fall of American neoliberalism and more.

Authorities in Lebanon are warning of a humanitarian crisis - as more people were killed by Israeli airstrikes into the country. Lebanon's caretaker prime minister has appealed for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, but Israel is signaling that it will continue to hit militant group Hezbollah -- hard. Also: In Europe, another far-right party has claimed victory in an election - Austria's Freedom Party has won the highest percentage of votes. But they don't have a majority - and will need support from other parties to form a coalition. Plus: Several classic car enthusiasts have been left with an empty space in their garages. They bought their dream vintage cars fair and square, but then the police showed up to repossess them, saying the seller had stolen them.

It's one of the world's most serious current crises – and yet, this conflict is being deemed "forgotten."But it's certainly well known by the more than 25 million people in Sudan who are facing starvation and the 11 million who have been displaced from their homes.Since April of last year, conflict has raged between two Sudanese military groups, putting civilians in the middle of 500 days of violence and causing greater humanitarian crisis.One report predicts that more than 2.5 million people could die of hunger by the end of this month. At least 150,000 people have been killed and the International Criminal Court has accused both warring parties of war crimes.We talk to a group of experts about the crisis.Want to support 1A?
