Israel-Gaza war, anti-Semitism in Europe, Sanchez's deal with Spain separatists, Meloni's break-up

Over the past month, we have taken stock of just how much the conflict in the Middle East has led to a spike in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in Europe.

Thursday evening, there were commemorations throughout Europe for the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht when the Nazis carried out pogroms against Jews in riots defined as a seminal moment of the Holocaust.

In Iran, authorities bended to public pressure by allowing this year's Nobel peace prize winner to receive medical treatment despite not wearing the obligatory head covering which was mandatory. The family of Narges Mohammadi said she has ended a hunger strike which was to protest against the regime’s denial of healthcare to women refusing to wear headscarves.

In Spain, a coalition deal between the outgoing Socialists and the Catalan separatists convicted of using state funds to stage a banned 2017 independence referendum has sparked fury among critics of Pedro Sanchez. He is looking to weather the storm and keep his own troops in line as he moves to secure a razor-thin majority in the next parliament.

Here in France, we had the breakup of then-president Nicolas Sarkozy's marriage play out in public. More recently, Canada's prime minister announced that he and his wife of eighteen years were separating.

That is life, right? Same goes for Giorgia Meloni, who, announced on Instagram last month that she and the father of her daughter were parting ways.
