Israel-Gaza: Violence intensifies

Violence in Gaza and Israel continues with rocket fire and air strikes on both sides. We’ll get the latest on the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians and on street violence involving Jewish and Israeli-Arabs. And we hear more messages from people whose everyday life has been disrupted by this latest round of violence. Our regional experts will also explain what’s happening with diplomatic efforts to ease the tension.

And we hear from Kenya, where three members of parliament have been summoned by the House Speaker after making allegations that some of their colleagues have received cash bribes in exchange for votes. Our reporter Emmanuel Igunza is in Nairobi.

We also hear from a reporter in New York, who explains how a teacher there is facing a backlash after handing out a homework assignment that questioned the cause of George Floyd’s death.
