	Description:		Trucks loaded with desperately-needed aid are still stuck on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing but should be "rolling in the next day or so," says the United Nations. On Day 14 of a conflict triggered by Hamas' cross-border slaughter of more than a thousand Israeli civilians, the UN Secretary General makes his way to Rafah. On his trip to Israel, Biden pointed to "America's mistakes after 9/11", warning his hosts not to "be consumed by rage" and squander worldwide sympathy. In his first address from the Oval Office since it all started, the US president connects the dots between Gaza and Ukraine. Turns out that those US warships sent to the region aren't just for show. In the Red Sea, the USS Carney intercepted three cruise missiles and several drones launched by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement from Yemen, potentially towards Israel. The Arab street's not only mad with Israel and the United States. In former French protectorate Tunisia, Tuesday's shelling of the hospital in Gaza had an angry crowd spontaneously converging on the French embassy. France is still processing last Friday's second fatal attack on a high school teacher in three years. Thursday, in the northern city of Arras, the funeral of French teacher Dominique Bernard who tried to stop a radicalized former student as he embarked on a stabbing spree on the grounds of the high school where he taught. Produced by Charles Wente, Lauren Bain and Juliette Brown.
