Israel to restrict aid over return of hostage remains

Newshour

Available for 15 days

Israeli officials have said the government has decided to restrict aid into Gaza in response to Hamas being too slow in handing over the bodies of dead hostages. We'll hear from an Israeli whose relative's body is still in Gaza and who fears it may never be brought home. Also on the programme: we speak to the UN about the reconstruction in Gaza and how it will be paid for; and Harvard professor and philosopher Michael Sandel shares why he thinks meritocracy is overrated.
