Since the Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, Israel has imposed a siege on Gaza, conducting a bombing campaign and, more recently, sending troops in. The Rafah crossing is the sole possible escape route for people trapped in the territory and the only entry point for relief supplies. The head of the U.N. agency for Palestinians, the most senior official allowed into Gaza since the war began, said his agency was running out of fuel, water, food and medicine and would “soon be unable to operate.” The U.N. aid chief said a cease-fire was the only viable option for delivering sufficient aid.

A Berlin rally in solidarity with Israel on Oct. 22.Clemens Bilan/EPA, via Shutterstock For Europe’s Jews, old fears return The Oct. 7 massacre in Israel carried out by Hamas has awakened a repressed horror for Jews in Europe and beyond, now compounded by dismay at how the world’s sympathy has rapidly shifted to the Palestinians being killed in Gaza under Israeli bombardment. From Britain to Italy, apartment buildings have been daubed with Stars of David, Jewish stores have received bomb threats and demonstrations have called for Israel’s eradication. Perhaps not since the Holocaust have European Jews lived in an atmosphere of fear so acute [that it feels like a fundamental shift in the terms of their existence](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnJbIwP4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMTAvMzEvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL2V1cm9wZS1hbnRpc2VtaXRpc20taXNyYWVsLWhhbWFzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjMxMTAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwNjY5NiZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDg5MzQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmVBMC1DZeqk7MVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~). “There is a feeling of helplessness that has never been experienced before,” said an official with the Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism.
