Some weeks, including this one, we publish more than one cover. In most of the world, we consider Israel’s predicament as the war in Gaza continues. Talks over a temporary ceasefire with Hamas may fail. That could leave Israel locked in the bleakest trajectory of its 75-year existence, featuring endless occupation, hard-right politics and isolation. We argue that America should help it find a better strategy.

Leader: At a moment of military might, Israel looks deeply vulnerable
Briefing: The war in Gaza may topple Hamas without making Israel safer
Middle East & Africa: America wants Binyamin Netanyahu out. But his exit is fraught with dangers

In Britain, we explain why the country is the best place in Europe to be an immigrant. The idea of Britain as a nation of immigration might seem counterintuitive. Its citizens voted to leave the European Union in 2016 after they were promised a tighter chokehold on inflows of people from Europe.
