BBC World Service - Weekend, The US urges Israel to limit civilian casualties

Vice President Kamala Harris says ‘too many innocent Palestinians have been killed’

Vice President Kamala Harris says ‘too many innocent Palestinians have been killed’.

As the resumption of conflict in Gaza enters its third day, senior US figures increase pressure on Israel to limit civilian casualties. We get the latest from our correspondents in the region. 

Also on the programme: we reflect on the legacy of Henry Kissinger, who died aged 100 this week; and Washington claims India hatched a plot to assassinate a prominent Sikh separatist leader living in the US. 

Joining Luke Jones in the studio to discuss all this and more are Karin von Hippel, director general of the defence think tank RUSI, and Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid polling institute in Canada.
