Gaza officials say children killed in strike as Israeli military admits 'error' Six children waiting for water are among those killed in an Israeli air strike, emergency service officials say.

Israel "regrets" harm to civilians as children, standing in a water queue are killed in an airstrike. The reality is that dozens of civilians, many of them children, have been killed almost daily in #Gaza, since #Israel abandoned the last ceasefire deal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In the least surprising development of the day,
@realDonaldTrump is handed a nomination for the #NobelPeacePrize by @netanyahu. (After Kier Starmer's letter from the King - some world leaders sure know how to massage the Presidential ego.)

Israel-Hamas ceasefire live: Israel set to approve deal as PM says first hostages could be released on Sunday Israel's security cabinet approves the agreement, which will next be voted on by the wider government.

A #Gaza ceasefire is surely in everyone's interests but without a robust political process for the "day after" there will be an inevitable resumption of fighting, and considerable loss of life, sooner or later. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

"Windmills are driving whales crazy." We're barely a week into 2025 and @realDonaldTrump is already indulging us with his wisdom. Between him and other notables venting their spleens across various media, it's going to be a long year 🙄

Amazing to watch the celebrations across #Syria marking the end of the brutal Assad regime. But after witnessing, first-hand, similar popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya it's difficult not to feel some trepidation about what lies ahead. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...
