Summary

On Tuesday, Israel allowed foreign journalists into the Gaza strip for the first time since the conflict began in late 2023, following growing international scrutiny over claims of starvation in the region. Meanwhile, Texan redistricting efforts risk sparking a nationwide gerrymandering battle as California Governor Gavin Newsom threatens to redraw his state’s district maps in retaliation.   Republican Strategist Colin Reed, former State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf, and FOX Radio Washington Correspondent Jared Halpern discuss the latest updates on the Israel and Hamas conflict, whether an occupation would work strategically, and what the fallout of Texas’s redistricting plan might look like.
