Netanyahu heads to Washington as Israel orders new Gaza evacuations
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making his way to Washington, where he will meet US President Joe Biden and deliver a landmark speech to Congress. His visit comes at a time of great political uncertainty, amid mounting calls from back home to end the war in Gaza. On the ground, at least 37 people have been killed in Israeli air raids and shelling in Khan Younis. The IDF said it is conducting a "forceful operation", following earlier reports of rocket fire and militant activity in the area. Sarah Coates reports from Tel Aviv.
