Deep dives
The Ongoing Gaza Conflict and Regional Impact
The Gaza War has intensified over the past year, significantly escalating violence in both Gaza and Lebanon. The Israeli military operations and targeted assassinations have resulted in the deaths of over 42,000 individuals in Gaza, while approximately 1.2 million people in Lebanon have been displaced due to ongoing bombardments. The regional conflict has spread beyond Gaza, as Israel's military actions have elicited responses from Iran, including missile attacks, indicating that the ongoing skirmishes represent a broader geopolitical struggle. The return of Israeli hostages seems indefinitely postponed, and the prospects for a ceasefire appear increasingly bleak.
