Then, Fareed talks to New York Times opinion columnist Nicholas Kristof about parsing out fact and fiction in the Israel-Hamas war and how dynamics between the two sides perpetuate violence.

Next, Harvard University professor of democracy and governance Tarek Masoud joins the show to discuss Egypt's response to the Gaza humanitarian crisis and why the country is limiting entry to refugees.

Then, Fareed speaks with Australian Ambassador to the US and China expert Kevin Rudd about what Biden and Xi's recent meeting in California means for US-China relations.
