It comes as a key member of Israel's war cabinet demands a post-war plan.

Israeli ground forces are pressing onward in the eastern outskirts of the city of Rafah. The head of the UN agency for Palestinian Refugees says more than 800,000 people have been forced to flee Rafah in southern Gaza because of the ongoing Israeli offensive.

Also in the programme: we discuss the future of Georgia amid demonstrations in the country; and the Cannes film festival begins today.

Julian Worricker is joined by Colleen Graffy, professor at Pepperdine Caruso Law School in Malibu and George Parker, the political editor of the Financial Times newspaper.
