An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
6Description
For the past week, an international outcry has been building, particularly in Europe, over Israel’s plans to escalate its military campaign in Gaza and over its two-month-long blockade, which has put Gaza’s population on the brink of starvation.
