Rubble litters streets of Gaza following Israeli airstrikes
Rubble littered the streets of Gaza early Tuesday following a series of Israeli air strikes, in an escalation triggered by soaring tensions in Jerusalem.
President Biden urgently cautioned Prime Minister Netanyahu against launching an offensive in Gaza's southern city of Rafah, fearing it would escalate the conflict and increase Palestinian casualties. Their call highlighted the growing divide between the two leaders amid mounting pressure for a ceasefire. Biden emphasised the need to avoid further despair in the war-torn region. Both leaders face public outcry, with Biden encountering protests on college campuses and Netanyahu under pressure from families of Israeli hostages.

Israeli tanks seized the Rafah Crossing in Gaza, intensifying conflict as warplanes bombarded homes. At least 12 casualties were reported. Despite Hamas accepting a ceasefire, Israel vowed to continue its military operation. Troops are conducting a "limited op," trapping civilians. Egypt closed Rafah Crossing to prevent mass exodus. Over a million refugees sheltering in Rafah face grave risk, prompting UN warnings and international appeals ignored by Israel.

Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has initiated a series of discussions with Israeli leaders to address the issue of increasing humanitarian aid into Gaza. Simultaneously, he has been urging Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, to accept a proposed deal aimed at securing the release of hostages and achieving a ceasefire. Following his visits to Riyadh and Amman earlier in the week, Blinken is now in Israel, the final stop of his broader Middle East tour. Reports indicate that Blinken is currently meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. This marks Blinken's seventh visit to the region, which has been engulfed in conflict since October 7th when Hamas launched an attack on Israel. Blinken's main focus during his time in Israel is to pressure the Israeli government into taking specific actions to enhance the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. He emphasised the need to address the suffering of the people in Gaza amidst the ongoing crossfire instigated by Hamas, while also striving to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages.

Lord Cameron has described the situation in the Middle East as 'very concerning' but says he hopes Israel will act in a way that does not heighten tensions.
Speaking in Jerusalem ahead of talks with prime minister Benjamine Netanyahu, the British foreign secretary also said he hopes to see co-ordinated sanctions against Iran from G7 countries, because it is responsible for 'so much of the malign activity' in the region.

In an unprecedented move, Iran launched a retaliatory attack against Israel on Saturday (April 13), following an Israeli airstrike on its consulate in Damascus on April 1, resulting in the deaths of seven officers. While tensions escalated, Israeli residents in Jerusalem voiced their reluctance for a war with Iran. Despite the attack, a report from the news agency Reuters indicated that Israel experienced only modest damage and subsequently reopened its airspace.
