she's currently a non—resident fellow with the baker institute center for the middle east. as we just heard, the discontent within the us, within the biden administration, how widespread is that concern over the fact that the us may not be doing enough to stem the humanitarian crisis in gaza? it is extremely widespread. one of the groups that i work with is called feds united for peace which represents thousands of people inside the federal government to oppose the us policy on this unconditional support to israel. i also think as we continue to see the political calculus on this shift we do see increasingly americans considering biden's handling of this, he is plummeting in poll numbers so i do hope that we may be beginning to see a significant shift here in american public opinion which is also reflected in the members of the us government. you recently resigned from your post at the state department. why did you decide to step down? was there a specific breaking point for you? i first tried to do what i could on the inside. i co—authored a dissent cable and signed two

our middle east reporter sebastian usher has more from jerusalem. what we now know as an israeli strike has killed three of the hamas political leader, ismail haniyeh's sons. also, what we've heard from hamas and from mr haniyeh himself was that several of his grandchildren were killed in the strike as well. now, this is what israel has said that it will continue to do. it described the three men as hamas operatives, saying that they had carried out terrorist activity in the central gaza strip. and even though israel has pulled out most of its troops from gaza, there is no sense that israel is ending its operation there and is continuing to target anyone that they regard as somebody who is a fighter, an activist for hamas. so on that level, this is what israel said it will do. on the response from hamas and from ismail haniyeh himself, he is essentially said that this doesn't change anything, that he has already lost members of his family, so many other palestinians in gaza have as well. he's not going to let this shift or change the policy that ham

but iran's attempt, not its impact, is what's thrown the middle east off balance. what's shaken israel in these attacks isn't the damage caused but how they happened, with drones and missiles sent straight from iran. and what these strikes left broken isn't so much infrastructure, it's iran's fear of launching a direct attack. israel is already fighting iranian—backed groups in gaza to the south and lebanon to the north. a far less powerful opponent delivered a major blow on the 7th of october. israel's challenge now is how to restore a fear of conflict in its biggest enemy without triggering a war. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. us secretary of state antony blinken spoke to saint bosak should work towards a peaceful solution. we have been coordinating a diplomatic response to seek to prevent escalation. strength and wisdom need to be on the same side two different sides of the same coin i've been in close communication with counterparts in the region and we will continue to do so in the hours and days ahead. here in the uk prime minister rishi sunak said

so let's start in the middle east, where this weekend iran attacked israel. but what actually happened? well, some context first. hamas, a group seen by the uk government as terrorists have been in conflict with israel since october. iran's provided hamas with weapons and training and have been in what's described as a shadow war with israel for years, where they attack each other�*s assets without admitting responsibility, until now. over the weekend, iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles at israel in what it said was retaliation for a strike on one of its government buildings in syria earlier this month. israel has admitted attacking iran in the past, but haven't said that they're behind this one. israel has said that most of the missiles were successfully intercepted, some of them by the uk and us airforces, but have promised to respond. however, israel's allies, like the us and uk, have urged it to avoid any escalation, and the uk says efforts are focused on ensuring a pause in fighting and getting aid into gaza. a really lovely story for you
