TEL AVIV, Israel — The “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip,” the leading international authority on food crises said in a new alert Tuesday, predicting “widespread death” without immediate action.

" Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar on Tuesday said that "more than one European foreign minister" has told him that signing the letter condemning Israel's war in Gaza was a mistake,

President Trump has signaled that Israel might have to take a new approach to its war with Hamas.

Israel says it is fighting against Hamas, not Palestinians as a group. But two of Israel’s best-known rights groups — long critical of Israeli policy — now say they disagree.
