The Israeli government has announced twenty-two new settlements in the West Bank, which would be illegal under international law.
We explore how the move would affect the future of a two-state solution.
We also look at the distribution of desperately needed aid in the Gaza Strip, where there are questions over the ability of the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to continue operations.
Also in the programme: a US court has ruled President Donald Trump exceeded his mandate when he imposed tariffs on global trade; and the Swiss village destroyed by a massive landslide.
