How to get to a ceasefire? Macron’s call divides Israel’s allies

Western leaders spoke as one when they defended Israel’s right to defend itself after the bloodiest day in its history, but with war now in its sixth week, the initial military objective of quote “eradicating Hamas” seems highly improbable, unless Israel and its allies care not about civilian casualties.
After hosting a humanitarian conference for Gaza last week, France’s president now calling for a ceasefire. For now, Emmanuel Macron’s an outlier among G7 nations. Is that changing though?
When the Middle East erupts, it always stokes religious and communal divisions elsewhere. How to break the cycle of polarization? Here in France, only a tiny minority that marched both for a ceasefire on Saturday and against a surge in anti-semitism on Sunday. Too soon to bridge that divide?
In that context, we will ask about this Monday’s sacking of Britain’s hard-right interior minister Suella Braverman.
