Welcome back to Potts Day of the World, I'm Ben Rhodes and Tommy is out again this week.

For those of you who are not close followers on social media, you may not know that he shared

that he and his wife Hannah have welcomed a new baby boy.

So a growing B-tour family, we're thrilled for them and of course he's taking some time off with family.

We do, though, have a great show for you today. We've got an amazing

one-two-punch, two amazing guest co-host and friends of mine. The first is Dan Kurtz Phelan

who is the editor of Foreign Affairs magazine, and the author

of a really terrific book, if you want to go back to the history of the United States and China,

kind of the origin story for how we got here today in many ways a book called the

China Mission. Dan will be joining us to talk about the latest developments in

Gaza, Joe Biden's new tariffs on China, China policy more broadly, as well as the situation in Russia and Ukraine and

protests in Georgia over a foreign agent law. Then Rana Yeb, someone we've heard from

on this podcast before will be joining me in the second half of the

show to talk about the Indian elections, what another Render Modi term might mean for

India and the world. Rana is a journalist and global opinion columnist at the

Washington Post.

So before we get to Dan here, I just wanted to bring people up to speed on where

things stand in Gaza.

So a few updates, first of all, according to the UN, over 360,000 civilians have fled

Rafa after last week's evacuation orders were given by Israel.

No food or aid has entered the Rafa border crossing with Egypt in over a week.

That's one of the most significant through lines for aid to get into Gaza.
