MSNBC's Ali Velshi is joined by former Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes to discuss the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the plans by U.S. allies to recognize the Palestinian state at the United Nations.

Canada has joined France and Britain in announcing plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September as international pressure builds on Israel over the ongoing starvation crisis and war in Gaza.
