Henry Kissinger dies; Blinken says Israel must protect civilians in Gaza

Henry Kissinger, America’s former national security adviser and secretary of state, died aged 100. A controversial Nobel peace-prize winner, he shaped world affairs throughout the administrations of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, and oversaw America’s war in and withdrawal from Vietnam. His “shuttle diplomacy” helped stabilise the Middle East after the Yom Kippur war in 1973. But his legacy is controversial: in the 1970s he supported Pakistan while it carried out massacres in what is now Bangladesh.
