The world awakens to the news that Israel has broken the ceasefire and now continues its bombardment in the Gaza Strip. Francesca Albanese states we cannot bear witness to global leaders doing nothing. Al Jazeera comments that the ceasefire did not collapse, it was part of Israel’s plan. In Gaza, Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda gives a first-hand account of what’s happening and a former BBC journalist speaks to Owen Jones about the obfuscation of language in journalism on the Israel Palestine situation.

We cannot bear witness to global leaders JUST. DOING. NOTHING. @FranceskAlbs

No, the ceasefire did not collapse. Israel collapsed it @yanisvaroufakis

We are starved, we are trapped, carpet bombing and people trapped under rubble @Wizard__Bisan

Language being used to remove clarity from reporting @owenjonesjourno
