In bailing out Greece did the European Union destroy the village in order to save it? Today on the show, Ian dives deep into the Greek debt crisis to bring you a tale of such adversity to be worthy of Homer, himself. Then he'll speak to the man who will likely be Greece's next prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis. And on Puppet Regime, President Trump tries to keep things simple. Maybe too simple.
All 300 seats in South Korea's unicameral legislature will be up for grabs in the April 10 election, offering President Yoon Suk-yeol the opportunity to kickstart his agenda.
In this edition of GZERO World, Ian Bremmer and Thomas L. Friedman unpack the intertwined dynamics of Hamas, Netanyahu, and regional powers in the Gaza war, underscoring the complexities and challenges that hinder a pathway to lasting peace.
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."

Think you know what's going on around the world? Here's your chance to prove it.
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.
Biden told Netanyahu that the humanitarian situation in Gaza and strikes on aid workers were “unacceptable,” the White House readout of the call said.
Given the ugly World War II history between the two countries, that would be a startling development.
