Israel readies next stage of operations, says many Palestinians moving south

21 Sept 06:53 Key points summarised by AI

Israel's military is preparing for the "next stage of operations" to dismantle Hamas, following its order for Gaza City residents to move south, a directive that has led to "significant movement" of Palestinian civilians.
Gaza faces a severe humanitarian crisis due to Israel's total siege and air strikes, resulting in power, food, and water shortages, prompting urgent calls for aid access from the UN and international bodies.
U.S. President Biden is engaging regional governments on the humanitarian situation, while concerns rise about the conflict's potential to spread, including deadly clashes on the Israel-Lebanon border.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
