Despite the ceasefire, the killing continues in Gaza, with at least 312 Palestinians confirmed dead since the deal between Israel and Hamas six weeks ago. Meanwhile in the occupied West Bank, the UN has logged 264 attacks in October alone, its highest monthly tally, as Israeli settlers attack farmers and burn olive trees. Senior Israeli officials are warning that the state is losing control there. CNN International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson joins the show from Jerusalem.

South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola
The G20 is preparing to kick off in South Africa this weekend. It's supposed to be when the world's major powers come together to tackle the biggest global challenges, from economic stability to climate change. But this year's summit in Johannesburg begins with something extraordinary: virtually no senior US presence. All of it unfolds as South Africa confronts another unexpected crisis: mystery flights carrying Palestinians from Gaza into the country, which officials fear could signal an effort to remove Palestinians from their homeland. South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola joins the show from Johannesburg.

Inside the Crown Prince
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince walked into the White House today, just years after being labelled an international pariah. President Trump welcomed Mohammed Bin Salman, the man increasingly seen as the Kingdom's most consequential leader in recent history. Few Americans know and understand MBS better than Princeton scholar Bernard Haykel. Haykel has interviewed the Crown Prince more than 20 times for his forthcoming book "The Realm" and he joins Christiane from Washington.
