What happened

Israeli director Nadav Lapid was barred from serving as a juror at the Marseille film festival because he is Israeli, prompting criticism of boycott policy and a counter-petition signed by 350 filmmakers. The article also argues that U.S. President Donald Trump was right to block an expanded Israeli response to Iran, and that Israel should seek a ceasefire and a political path that separates the Lebanese and Iranian fronts.
