Ian Bremmer answers your most burning questions on the World In 60 Seconds!

What's the update with Jamal Khashoggi case?

Five Saudis given the death penalty for their direct involvement. Mohammed bin Salman nowhere engaged, no responsibility personally. That's, of course, what they've been saying, even though the CIA says different. The Saudis are hosting the G20 next year and everyone is pretty much moving on, except, of course, Jamal Khashoggi and his family. Never going to receive real justice on that.

What are world leaders asking for this holiday season?

A little bit of peace, a little bit of quiet. Hey, and in the United States, one thing you can say about Pelosi not handing over the actual articles of impeachment is that we don't have to pay as much attention to it for a couple of weeks. Take some time off. Enjoy yourself. Happy holidays.

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: On the back of the Israeli Defense Forces strike killing seven members of aid workers for the World Central Kitchen, their founder, Chef Jose Andres, is obviously very angry. The Israelis immediately apologized and took responsibility for the act. He says that this was intentionally targeting his workers. I have a hard time believing that the IDF would have wanted to kill his workers intentionally. Anyone that's saying the Israelis are only to blame for this—as well as the enormous civilian death toll in this war–I strongly disagree.
