About this listen

 Growing global outrage over the hunger crisis in Gaza has many asking if Israel had a deliberate policy of starving civilians. Israelis say that was never the case, but an ignorance of Palestinian suffering allowed an inconsistent government policy to lead to a calamity. Also: today’s stories, including how the president has recently touted a trade deal with the EU, but the overall economic outlook is uncertain, how staff are working to help patrons stay connected to reading, education, and daily life, and how Finland has been ranked the world’s happiest country for years. But that doesn’t mean Finns are a smiling, perky people. Join the Monitor's Kurt Shillinger for today's news.
