year. How Westminster works and why it doesn't is available now and paperback

from Waterstone's. is available now and paperback from waterstones. For the past six months Israel's been fighting at war in Gaza that's left more than 30,000 Palestinians dead.

The country's international reputation severely damaged and which so far has failed in its goal of defeating

Hamas.

But that entire time, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been fighting another war, one for no end in sight. Just yesterday Israel admitted to killing by accident, it said, seven international aid workers, including three from the UK, adding

He doesn't do his work as good as we think he does.

And now with massive protests on the streets of Israeli cities, major allies saying
