What next for Gaza? Humanitarian push as Israel plans ground invasion

Meanwhile, on his trip to Israel, US President Joe Biden pointed to "America's mistakes after 9/11", warning his hosts not to "be consumed by rage" and squander worldwide sympathy. In his first address from the Oval Office since it all started, the US president connected the dots between Gaza and Ukraine.

It turns out that those US warships sent to the region aren't just for show. In the Red Sea, the USS Carney intercepted three cruise missiles and several drones launched by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement from Yemen, potentially towards Israel. 

The Arab street is not only mad with Israel and the United States. In former French protectorate Tunisia, Tuesday's shelling of the hospital in Gaza had an angry crowd spontaneously converging on the French embassy.

France is still processing last Friday's second fatal attack on a high school teacher in three years. Thursday, in the northern city of Arras, saw the funeral of French teacher Dominique Bernard, who tried to stop a radicalised former student as he embarked on a stabbing spree on the grounds of the high school where Bernard taught.
