The ceasefire in Gaza collapsed a week ago as Israel launched a series of airstrikes.
Since then, more than 600 people have been killed, including children, according to Gaza’s health ministry.Israel says the attacks were aimed at Hamas’s surviving leadership – and just a few days ago, Hamas confirmed its top political leader is dead.
As the war reignites, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is weighing his own political survival.
Today, Middle East correspondent for The Economist Gregg Carlstrom on what the end of the ceasefire means for the people of Gaza – and what US President Donald Trump wants out of the next stage of war.
