The latest developments from the conflict in Gaza lead many of Wednesday’s front pages. The Financial Times reports on comments by UN Secretary General António Guterres, who told a meeting of the body’s Security Council on Tuesday that Israel had committed “clear violations” of international law. “Protecting civilians does not mean ordering more than 1 million people to evacuate to the south [of Gaza], where there is no shelter, no food, no medicine and no fuel, and then continuing to bomb the south itself,” he said. The paper says the remarks “triggered a furious response from Israeli officials”.
Sources suggest the UK has moved past its technical recession with first-quarter growth surpassing that of the US and Eurozone, a positive development for Rishi Sunak.
