| | | Hello. US President Donald Trump's Nato allies are wary about taking action in the Strait of Hormuz but, as diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams explains, they know inaction isn't an option, either. From the occupied West Bank, Middle East correspondent Lucy Williamson has spoken to a Palestinian boy, 12, about the moment Israeli forces opened fire on his family's car, killing his parents and two siblings. | | | | | | |
| TOP OF THE AGENDA | | How wary allies show there's no quick fix to Trump's Iran war | | |  | | US relations with its Nato allies have become increasingly strained since Donald Trump entered office [Getty Images] | | US President Donald Trump's latest suggestion in the ongoing war with Iran – that failing to secure the Strait of Hormuz would be "very bad for the future of Nato" – implies an understanding of the alliance's purpose that has already raised eyebrows, writes Paul Adams. European leaders are hesitant to get involved, and in Germany a government spokesman said the war with Iran had "nothing to do with Nato". But as the allies reckon with an urgent, and growing, need for a solution to the crisis in the Gulf, they know inaction on Iran is not really an option - certainly in Trump's eyes. | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | Tammun, occupied West Bank | | | | Palestinian boy, 12, describes how Israeli forces killed his family in car |  | | Khaled Bani Odeh's (right) parents and two youngest brothers were shot dead in front of him as they drove home [Reuters] | | A Palestinian husband and wife, and two of their young children, have been shot and killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank. The family were travelling in their car when Israeli forces opened fire. Israeli authorities claim the car accelerated towards Israeli forces. Lucy speaks to one of the two children who survived. | | | | | | Lucy Williamson, Middle East correspondent | | | | | | In the few moments of silence after the shootings, before he was dragged from the family car, 12-year-old Khaled Bani Odeh thought he was the only member of his family left alive. Among the dead was six-year-old Othman - blind and disabled - killed while sitting on his mother's lap.
"My mother cried out one last time before going quiet," Khaled said. "My father recited the Shahada [the Islamic declaration of faith] as he died." When Israeli forces tried to drag his only surviving brother, Mustafa, from the car, Khaled said he tried to intervene. | | | | | | |
