Fareed Zakaria GPS S2023E44 - November 19, 2023

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 talks with CNN correspondent Jeremy Diamond live from Tel Aviv about recent Israeli strikes, as well as an update on the ongoing hostage negotiations between Israel and Hamas. 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. Finally, Cindy Yu, assistant editor at The Spectator and the host of the "Chinese Whispers" podcast, joins the show to discuss how Chinese economic troubles have shifted policy towards the US.
