Moment where an abstract threat we’ve heard about for years suddenly becomes less unlikely - a regional war with global implications. Netanyahu wants escalation and is expertly tee-ing it up

Indonesian FM Retno Marsudi told reporters, “I am sure that China would use its influence to prevent escalation.” She said China and Indonesia “would also fully support Palestine’s membership in the U.N” apnews.com/article/china-…

—The next big organizations, the World Central Kitchen & ANERA, suspended work after Israel killed 7 aid workers
—And now the UN agency for children’s welfare says they were attacked by “live ammunition:”
