The Middle East has been transformed since 7 October, and almost two years on, the conflict in Gaza is at another inflection point.

LONDON (AP) — Britain threatened Tuesday to take further action against Israel if it does not agree to end the war in Gaza, a day after two dozen mostly European countries condemned Israel’s restrictions on aid shipments into the territory and the killings of hundreds of Palestinians trying to reach food.

Nearly 30 nations issued a joint statement saying Israel's ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza has "reached new depths" and "must end now."

Israel attacked the World Health Organization’s premises in Gaza three times on Monday, the UN agency said, warning that Israel’s expanding war with Hamas was pushing the Palestinian enclave’s health system further towards collapse.

Israeli tanks pushed into southern and eastern districts of the Gazan city of Deir al-Balah for the first time, an area where Israeli sources said the military believes hostages may be held.

Israel launched an air and ground offensive into the only Gaza city that had not seen major military operations since the war began.
