Israeli strikes hit northern Gaza鈥檚 city of Beit Lahia

A review of the week with the latest news.

There've been further Israeli air strikes in northern Gaza, with the Hamas-run civil defence agency saying at least 73 people have been killed in the town of Beit Lahia. Israel said it was checking the reports, but believed the casualty numbers published by the Hamas media office were exaggerated. We talk to Noga Tarnopolsky, a journalist based in Jerusalem...
In Georgia, thousands are expected to attend a pro-European march in the capital, Tbilisi, on Sunday. It comes as Georgians vote next Saturday in parliamentary elections, with pro-Western opposition parties facing off against a ruling party accused of democratic backsliding and shifting towards Russia. Saba Brachveli, from the Civil Society Foundation, explains the significance of that demonstration.
Also on Sunday, some key elections are being held in Moldova where people are voting both in a presidential election and a referendum on enshrining the country's path to European Union membership. We speak to the Moldovan journalist Paula Erizanu, who is following these elections.
To discuss this and more, Simon Robinson, an executive editor at Reuters, and Maria Margaronis, who is a writer and broadcaster. CREDIT: Beit Lahia in May 2024 / REUTERS
