What Would A Post-Hamas Gaza Look Like?

Israeli ground forces conducted a small-scale raid in northern Gaza, where the IDF says they prioritized taking out Hamas fighters and anti-tank weaponry to “prepare the battlefield” ahead of their planned larger ground siege. As Israel retaliates against Hamas’ October 7th terror attacks, the Biden administration has advocated for a humanitarian pause in the fighting in an attempt to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza. President of Eurasia Group, Ian Bremmer, joined the Rundown to discuss why he believes Israel’s desire to invade Gaza is legitimate but foresees a negative impact on Israel’s national security. He goes on to explain the distance from a two-state solution, the feasibility of eliminating Hamas, and the social media mirage promoting hateful division during this conflict.

After nearly three weeks without a speaker, the House elected Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday.

FOX News Sunday Anchor and host of the Living the Bream podcast, Shannon Bream, discusses what the new Speaker has in store as the House works to pass 12 appropriations bills and later breaks down why former President Donald Trump's co-defendants are seeking plea deals in the 2020 election case.
