Discussion by the United Nations General Assembly on the conflict in the Middle East escalates
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, often referred to as the Middle East conflict, is a long-standing dispute that has been a major source of tension in the region for decades. This conflict, centred around borders, involves Israel, its Arab neighbours, and the Palestinians.
One of the key players in the region is Hezbollah, an Islamist organization originating from Lebanon. Hezbollah has representatives in the country's parliament and is known for its militant activities. The group primarily operates in Lebanon, a small country situated on the Mediterranean Sea, neighbouring Israel and Syria.
Hezbollah has been involved in numerous conflicts, including organizing attacks on Israel. The organization is considered a terrorist group by the USA and Israel due to its militant activities. It is also financially supported by Iran.
On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian organization Hamas launched a major terrorist attack on Israel, leading to Israel's ongoing military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. This conflict has resulted in a significant loss of life, with the United Nations reporting that thousands of civilians have been killed in Israeli attacks. Many Palestinians are also facing hunger due to Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The people in Lebanon primarily speak Arabic and French. The capital of Lebanon is Beirut.
A separate issue that will likely be discussed at the United Nations General Assembly in October is the situation in Ukraine. The negotiations focus on the conflict involving Russia's aggression against Ukraine, with ongoing diplomatic initiatives and attempts to find a ceasefire or peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the situation in Lebanon continue to be significant issues in the Middle East, with ongoing violence and humanitarian crises affecting thousands of people.
