In this edition, we look at the ripple effects of the war in Gaza. In the Red Sea, Houthi rebels from Yemen are stepping up their attacks on vessels in the vital shipping lane, saying they're doing so in protest at Israel's actions in Gaza, even though many of the ships in question are not Israeli-owned. Might that lead to a wider conflict? We speak to Abdul Ghani Al-iryani, senior researcher at the Sana'a Center for Strategic Studies.
As Israel continues its war in Gaza, long-simmering tensions have burst into the open in the occupied West Bank. Attacks by the Israeli army and settlers on Palestinians have soared, and the Israeli government has terminated work permits for Palestinians, leaving many struggling to survive. FRANCE 24's Julie Dungelhoeff and James Andre report from Hebron, where tensions are rising.
Also this week, the European Parliament posthumously honoured Mahsa Amini with its top human rights award, more than a year after the Iranian woman died at the hands of Iran's morality police, sparking the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement. Days earlier, jailed Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi was officially awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, with her family collecting the prize for her in Oslo.
