25 h. ago The Guardian view on Israel and Gaza: Trump can stop this horror. The alternative is unthinkable | Editorial

The US president has the leverage to force through a ceasefire. If he does not, he will implicitly signal approval of what looks like a plan of total destructionDonald Trump would like a big foreign policy win as he embarks on his tour of the Middle East this week. He could secure one – and save lives – by demanding that Israel agree to a lasting ceasefire in exchange for the release of all hostages held in Gaza. He might prefer to avoid the issue, but no other leader has the leverage to force its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to end this war. If Mr Trump instead backs Israel’s current proposals, he will put the US imprimatur on what looks like a plan of total destruction.Israel’s attacks have already killed more than 52,000 people in Gaza, according to local health authorities – the vast majority of them civilians, many of them children. Bakeries, hospitals and schools have been obliterated. Aid has been blocked for two months. Gaza faces famine. Last week, Isr...

26 h. ago Nottingham Forest’s Champions League hopes hit by late Leicester leveller

If you had told Nottingham Forest fans in August that a point in their penultimate home game of the season would guarantee them European qualification, most would have bitten your hand off. Now, however, after it looked as if Chris Wood’s diving header had lifted them into fifth place, Facundo Buonanotte’s late equaliser means that Champions League qualification is out of their hands.Qualifying for the Europa League (or Conference League) is no mean feat for Nuno Espírito Santo’s team but, having been sitting pretty in third place for the middle part of the season, it seems like a comedown now. Certainly that seemed to be Evangelos Marinakis’s reaction as the Forest owner strode on to the pitch at full time to have a few choice words with his manager. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Wood caps Forest’s blistering start at Tottenham to refuel European dream

There is no need to attempt to rewrite history by arguing that Tottenham Hotspur failed to see what they had in Nuno Espírito Santo. All that matters now is that this meticulous, softly spoken manager is the perfect fit for Nottingham Forest. They have provided Nuno with the perfect platform for his counterpunching tactics and, in what would surely be the story of the Premier League season, are ­closing in on Champions League football after cruising to victory over Ange Postecoglou’s limp and ­uninterested Spurs side.This was cool, clinical and resilient from Forest as they bounced back from two successive defeats by rising into third place with five games left. Nerves, it seems, are not for them. They struck early through Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood, who punished diffident defending, and then leant on their defensive prowess to claim the points. Spurs, stuck in 16th after falling to their 18th defeat in 33 games, were beaten inside 16 minutes, a header from Richarlison coming to...
