Israeli military strikes in the Gaza Strip have resulted in multiple civilian casualties, prompting international uproar and calls for an immediate end to the violence. In response, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid called it “shocking and crazy” and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suspended Amihai Eliyahu, a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, who had suggested dropping a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip. Israel’s military has offered a three-hour window for residents to flee south.

The ultimate outcome of the protests remains to be seen, and it is unclear if the reforms will be completely abandoned or modified.
