This week, world leaders gathered in New York for the United Nations General Assembly for the first time since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. The continuing violence and recent Israeli attacks on Lebanon, aimed at Hezbollah, raise fears that the conflict could boil over into a broad, regional war.
This comes as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza grows. In an interview with PBS News this week, USAID administrator Samatha Power warned against expanding the war, saying “if you need a reminder of what conflict looks like, look at the human consequences in Gaza.”
