France has suspended its Gaza evacuation programme following revelations that a Gazan student admitted to a prestigious French university shared antisemitic content online.

Left-wing political commentator Robert Reich is facing sharp criticism for invoking Holocaust imagery to accuse Israel of “betraying” Holocaust victims, as the Jewish state continues to defend itself from Hamas terrorists.
