International newspapers and websites covered various angles of the war launched by Israel on the Gaza Strip, most notably the tragic humanitarian situation and American support for Israel, as well as the escalating tension in the Red Sea.
The French newspaper "Liberation" focused on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, and quoted the testimony of French doctors who had just returned from Gaza, who described the situation as "tragic and unbearable" and said that the Israeli army was practicing illegal and unjustified killing.
One of the doctors spoke about his short experience in the Gaza Strip, saying, “I worked in besieged Syrian areas and in Ukraine after the Russian invasion, but what I saw in Gaza was unprecedented.”
The only solution to ending the war on Gaza, according to writer Lev Greenberg in Haaretz, lies in popular protests by the Israelis and international pressure.
The writer stressed that there is no military solution to the Palestinian issue, noting that "Israel's exit from Gaza and the return of prisoners and soldiers drowning there in the mud is not a priority now as long as the political and military leadership continues to cling to victory and reject political solutions."

In Foreign Affairs magazine, Aluf Ben wrote about what he called the self-destruction practiced by Israel with its aggressive policies towards the Palestinians.
The writer believes that Israelis cannot expect stability if they continue to ignore the rights of the Palestinians and reject their aspirations, and even their existence.
Writer Muhammad Bazi in the British newspaper "The Guardian" believes that US President Joe Biden has the ability to restrain Israel, but he refuses to use it, explaining that the Biden administration has done its best to hide the size of arms shipments and American aid to Israel, unlike what it did regarding the massive shipments of weapons to Ukraine. .
On the other hand, Newsweek magazine highlighted the escalation of tension in the Red Sea, and quoted analysts saying that this crisis may cause a new wave of high global inflation and obstruct supply chains, which in turn may lead to higher prices.
The French newspaper Le Monde touched on China's position on the tension in the Red Sea, as the newspaper's analysis saw that Beijing preferred to distance itself and ignore Washington's request for it to intervene with Iran.
The newspaper adds, "China reaps benefits from staying out of the game. In addition to the fact that its economy was not harmed by the disruption of navigation in the Red Sea, it realizes that direct intervention has a price."
