	Description:		A turning point in Israel's war in Gaza? Israel under pressure after fatal strike on aid workers Could this week be remembered as a turning point in Israel’s war in Gaza?Two separate air strikes carried out within hours of each other on Monday may have profound ramifications for different reasons. Firstly Israel admitted it killed seven international aid workers in Gaza, quote "stemming from a serious identification failure" that has led to widespread condemnation. Western Countries say initial Israeli answers that it was a tragic accident was not sufficient, and the recently unwavering support from the US is now wavering and conditional on the steps Israel now takes in protecting civilians. Will the president bring radical change? Good week for democracy after elections in Senegal Half thousand kilometres south west of Gaza, to Senegal, where the new President was sworn in on Tuesday. A surprise for many observers - a fair election, after months of protest against the government of Macky Sall, and the jailing of key opposition leaders. The new president, opposition Candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye, barely a week out of prison, he won the election outright in the first round and surprised even seasoned Senegal analysts and their predictions of a likely rigged and unfair election.
