Palestinians attend a rally calling for an end to the war, in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, on March 25, 2025. On March 18, Israel launched a series of deadly air strikes on the Palestinian territory renewing the fighting after a nearly two-month ceasefire that saw the handover of 33 Israeli hostages from Gaza, including eight who were dead. Since the resumption of fighting, the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza has reported that at least 792 people have been killed, raising the overall death toll to 50,144.

French actor Gerard Depardieu walks with his lawyer Jeremie Assous (R) as he arrives for the opening of his trial in which he is accused of sexually abusing two women during a film shoot in 2021, at the Paris criminal court in the Tribunal de Paris courthouse, on March 24, 2025. Depardieu, 76, who has made more than 200 films and television series, has been accused of improper behaviour by around 20 women but this is the first case to come to trial. The two plaintiffs -- Amelie, 54, a set dresser, and Sarah (name changed), 34, an assistant director -- allege sexual assault during the filming in 2021 of "Les Volets Verts" ("The Green Shutters") by director Jean Becker.
