Overnight wrap-up

Good evening from the US team.

We can report that, in the last several hours: 

  • The death toll from Gaza has climbed to 58
  • South Africa has recalled its Israeli ambassador
  • Turkey has recalled both its Israeli and American ambassadors
  • The United States blamed today's events on Hamas
  • The US has blocked a call for an independent Gaza inquiry at the UN
  • Seven journalists were reported wounded in today's events

Thank you for reading and the folks in London will pick this live blog up on Tuesday morning.
