In this episode of W News, presented by Leigh-Ann Gerrans, we report on the ongoing war in Gaza, where health officials say at least 40 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire and airstrikes, including 10 who were seeking aid. We also cover the Kremlin’s statement that it expects “important” talks later this week with US President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, ahead of Trump’s looming deadline to impose new sanctions on Russia unless it makes progress toward a peace deal in Ukraine.
