  • Welcome to The World in 10.

  • In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.

  • Today with me, Alex Dibble and Toby Gillis.

  • International condemnation of Israel over what it calls a tragic mishap,

  • an attack on a Gaza hospital which killed at least 20 people,

  • including five journalists, continues to build.

  • The UK's foreign secretary said he was horrified, adding, we need an immediate ceasefire.

  • Donald Trump said he is not happy about it.

  • But with journalists dying and international media prohibited by Israel from entering Gaza and a major assault on Gaza City impending,

  • how trustworthy is the reporting that comes from the Strip and will anything change moving forward?

  • Sameer Alatrush is The Times' Middle East correspondent and he joins us now.

  • Sameer,

  • will this international condemnation make Israel think differently about their impending plans for Gaza?

  • I don't think, you know, they're going to reassess based on this.

  • It's not the first time journalists have been killed.

  • There was also an incident in which international members of an aid group were killed

  • as they were in a convoy.

  • There was immense backlash after that.

  • More recently,

  • there were more than a dozen Red Crescent and civil defense workers who were killed and their remains were buried.
