12:08 pm
the palestinian islamic jihad leader could further exacerbate tensions in the region intentions, which have been growing and brewing not only in gaza, but also across the west bank. and of course, it's the united nations that gets called in to pick up the pieces after conflicts like this in the occupied territories. and he express concerned that civilians will ultimately be the ones who pay the worst price at a time when international support and international funding to help in situations like this is stretched very thin. so a word of caution from the middle east coordinator, or words released on twitter and in statements to the media, calling on both sides to tone down their response and protect civilians. nobody's toil is accusing. the chinese army of simulating an attack cone, its main island told de 3 of beijing's biggest of a military drills in the seas. round taiwan. tensions remain high with china,
