Description: As Israel and Gaza enter the second phase of the U.S.-brokered peace plan, the authority over Palestinian-controlled land continues to be a key dispute. In the West Bank, Israel just expanded its enforcement authority over land use and planning in areas run by the Palestinian Authority, lifting long-standing restrictions on land sales to Israeli Jews in what some critics are calling a “de facto annexation.” NBC News Foreign Correspondent Matt Bradley explains what this means for people in the region, a potential two-state solution and the future of an Israel-Palestinian peace deal. Plus, social media companies are on trial in California and New Mexico over separate claims that the platforms are harming children. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, who brought the state’s case against Meta over claims of sexual exploitation on Instagram and Facebook, explains what regulation is needed to protect kids online.
