International Tensions and U.S. Support for Israel

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is well and truly over, with the war expanding to include southern Gaza, where many have already fled to escape the destruction in the north.

Today, Middle East correspondent for The Economist Gregg Carlstrom, on the reality of the war since the ceasefire ended.
