Waiting for the invasion: What are Israel's options in Gaza?
It's a race against time for Palestinians in Gaza, who are squeezed by a blockade from Israel and Egypt. We ask about moves to let aid in and civilians out of the Gaza Strip. A long war also means Israelis and the regional partners with whom they have normalised ties have to manage the optics of the Arab world watching as a humanitarian catastrophe unfolds.
How will hardliners tap into that sympathy for the Palestinians? A case in point is Iran, whose foreign minister sat down on Sunday in Qatar with the civilian leader-in-exile of Hamas. Amid fatal skirmishes between Israel and Lebanon's Iran-aligned Hezbollah group, as the US Secretary of State returns to Tel Aviv for the second time in days, we ask what's next.
