Welcome to the “News Hour.”
Israel, Gaza and much of the world are reacting to a decision by Israel’s Security Cabinet to take control of Gaza City. The move comes nearly two years into the war sparked by Hamas’ attack on Israel, a conflict that has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, leveled large parts of the territory and left starvation rampant across the strip.
President Trump has not commented on today’s announcement, but it drew swift condemnation from the U.K., Saudi Arabia, Germany and others and sparked protests inside Israel.
