"Israel Establishes Emergency Unity Government Amid Escalating Gaza Conflict"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formed an emergency wartime government and war cabinet, with opposition figure Benny Gantz joining the government for the duration of the conflict. As pressure mounts for aid and medicine to enter Gaza and for civilians to leave, Israeli troops are preparing for a potential ground invasion. Netanyahu described atrocities committed by Hamas militants and vowed to crush and destroy the group. The UN reports mass displacement in Gaza, with over 263,000 people fleeing their homes. US President Joe Biden condemned the attacks and pledged additional military assistance to Israel. The UK's foreign secretary also visited Israel to show solidarity, while British Airways and Virgin Atlantic suspended flights to Tel Aviv due to security concerns.
