Today on the Breakfast Wrap podcast, meet Australia's new Special Envoy for Men's Health, and hear our extended interview with John Bolton, Donald Trump's ex-National Security Advisor.

So this week the Prime Minister's cabinet was officially been sworn in, and complementing the freshly-appointed front-bench are seven 'special envoys'.

Filling the newly-created role of Special Envoy for Men's Health is Dan Repacholi, who is also the returned federal member for Hunter and is a five-time Olympian.

Mr Repacholi says he is determined to shine a light on the unique challenges facing men and boys in Australia right now. 

Also on the podcast, John Bolton, the former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump, says he is "surprised" at the timing of the president's decision to lift tariffs on Syria. 

It comes as the US President's tour of the Gulf states continues.

Earlier, Mr Trump met with the interim Syrian president Ahmad al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia, marking the first encounter between the two nations’ leaders in 25 years. 

And, more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are at risk of famine as Israel's blockade on food, shelter, medicine and other aid continues.

Several nations are calling on Israel to allow aid to re-enter the Strip — but what does international law say about the blockade?
