"Israel-Hamas war: Unity government formed as death toll rises and children of Gaza plead for answers"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition figure Benny Gantz have formed a war-time Cabinet to oversee the fight against Hamas militants, as the conflict intensifies. The sealed-off Gaza Strip is experiencing widespread destruction, with entire neighborhoods demolished and the territory's only power plant running out of fuel. The new Cabinet will focus solely on war-related issues, while the rest of Netanyahu's government partners will handle other matters. The war has already claimed thousands of lives, and a ground offensive into Gaza is becoming increasingly likely. The situation has led to a desperate humanitarian crisis, with shortages of food, water, fuel, and medical supplies.
