Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has insisted that it will complete the elimination of Hamas in Gaza, including in Rafah where 1.4 million Palestinians have sought refuge. He said Israel was ‘one step away from victory’. We speak to former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert, a US congressman calling for arms sales to Israel to be halted, and a Palestinian lawyer involved in previous peace negotiations.

Also in the programme: We reflect on the genocide in Rwanda that began 20 years ago; and why a small town in Canada is gearing up for a big celebration for tomorrow's eclipse.
