Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

Under Pressure

This week, President Donald Trump, broke publicly with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his downplaying of the starvation in Gaza, and a fissure was exposed within the Republican Party after some lawmakers questioned Israel’s military strategy and expressed concern over the handling of the worsening humanitarian situation.

  • Leigh Ann Caldwell, Chief Washington Correspondent, Puck
  • Andrea Mitchell, Chief Washington and Foreign Affairs Correspondent, NBC News
