Summary

Former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni joins Christiane Amanpour to discuss tensions between Israel and Palestine. She warns that if Israel annexes Palestinian territory unilaterally, it's giving up hope for peace in the future and making a huge historical mistake. Palestinian human rights lawyer and former adviser to the PLO Diana Buttu weighs in, arguing that if Israel go ahead with the annexation, they are breaking international law and must be held accountable. Mary Jordan, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and author of "The Art of Her Deal," reveals how First Lady Melania Trump used her husband's ascent to renegotiate her prenup and how she influenced the President’s VP pick. Then our Hari Sreenivasan turns back to the coronavirus pandemic with his conversation with DJ Patil, the former U.S. chief data scientist. He explains that Covid-19 isn’t going away and the likelihood of a second wave and how we best mitigate it.
