| | Iain McDowell 26 March 2024 | | Good morning. There's a deepening rift between Israel and the US after the UN's call for a ceasefire in Gaza - our international editor Jeremy Bowen shares his analysis.

Image: Reuters Biden decides that strong words with Israel are not enough Despite the passing of the UN Security Council resolution demanding an "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages, the fighting goes on. The decision by the US not to block the motion has sparked an angry reaction from Israel, which insists the move "gives Hamas hope". But is it a surprise that it's come to this? Our international editor Jeremy Bowen says that while US President Joe Biden is deeply attached to Israel, he's been "losing patience with the way that it's fighting the war", with Gaza in ruins and famine looming. Other countries changed how they voted too. The UK abstained in previous votes but this time supported the motion. Jeremy says that if Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ignores the resolution, the US and others will have to respond. | | | | | | | | | | |

In her latest documentary about their experience, Kate reveals that the £16,000-a-month cost for his care has left her in debt. Highlighting the problems in the care system, she asks: "If this is what it's like for me, what on earth is it like for everybody else?" | | | | |

'China's threat to the UK' and 'brave Kate saves lives' After the government accuses China of targeting the UK with cyber attacks, the Mail says there's "fury" over the UK's "feeble rebuke". The cabinet is split on how to respond to the threat, reports the i. The UN's call for a ceasefire in Gaza is the Guardian's focus - it says the vote leaves Israel "isolated" from its allies. There's more on the Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis in the Sun and the Mirror, both of which say there's since been a surge in online searches about the disease. The Mirror calls it "the Kate effect". See all the front pages. | | | | | When Gary the Gorilla was stolen in Lanarkshire last year, the search for him went bananas on social media. Thankfully he didn't pose a danger to the public - he was an 8ft (2.4m) fibreglass ornament whose home was a garden centre, not a zoo. Twelve months later, he's turned up in a layby. Kong-gratulations to whoever tracked him down. | | | |
