It was a famous moment in Hillary Clinton's time as US Secretary of State—presenting Russia's Foreign Minister with a literal "reset button" as a symbol of a new beginning in diplomatic relations. And right now the same terminology is being used by European leaders and incoming Biden administration advisors, as well. Can there be a new beginning for the US and Europe after four years of the Trump presidency has eroded trust and hastened America's exit from a leading role globally? The short answer is…maybe. GZERO World's Ian Bremmer explains.

Listen: On this episode of the GZERO World Podcast, while the Gaza war rages on with no end in sight, Ian Bremmer and three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman discuss how it could end, who is standing in the way, and what comes next. It may seem premature to talk about a resolution to this conflict, but Friedman argues that it is more important now than ever to map out a viable endgame. "Either we're going to go into 2024 with some really new ideas,” Friedman tells Ian, “or we're going back to 1947 with some really new weapons."
What is Bibi thinking? As the Gaza war enters its seventh bloody month, leaders in Washington, Jerusalem, and Gaza are asking that question. Ian Bremmer explains on GZERO World.

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.
