Benjamin Netanyahu says operation carried out to ‘achieve war objectives’. Plus, how Trump’s new world order has shaken Europe

Good morning.

More than 400 people have been killed and hundreds more injured as Israeli military forces hit dozens of targets across Gaza early this morning, in effect ending the increasingly shaky ceasefire that had halted violence in the devastated Palestinian territory since mid-January.

Why has Israel resumed large-scale airstrikes on Gaza? The Israeli government has been threatening to launch an offensive for weeks and says targeting the Hamas leadership will bring about the release of more hostages. Many hostage families in Israel dispute this.

What does this mean for the ceasefire? The grim reality is that the fragile two-month pause in hostilities between Israel and Hamas is over. It appears very unlikely a deal that would end the new Israeli attacks can be achieved soon.
