Over the weekend, Israel said it was entering the ‘second stage of war’ with Hamas.

Israel destroyed phone and internet capabilities in Gaza, while a large number of Israeli troops crossed the border. The civilian death toll is mounting daily. 

Meanwhile, a majority of countries at the UN General Assembly voted in support of a humanitarian truce. 

So, why did Australia abstain from the vote? 

Today, world editor for The Saturday Paper, Jonathan Pearlman, on what the ground invasion means for Gaza and how the rest of the world is viewing the crisis in the Middle East.
