5 August 2026
Podcast
6 August 2026
As Trump's Board of Peace unveils a plan to disarm Hamas, will the group now give up its weapons and what would this mean for Gaza's future? Amid an escalation of violence on the West Bank and with settlements continuing to grow, why does the US President appear not to care? In the wake of the Gianni Infantino revelations, does the head of FIFA actually hate football?
Join Rory and Alastair as they answer all these questions and more in this week's edition of Question Time.
