The Horror of the Past, the Ugliness of the Present
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, steeped in territorial disputes that trace back to the 19th century, is a story as old as time. The latest chapter has unfolded in the Gaza Strip, filled with violence, death, and despair. The present-day events have brought forth significant military operations and substantial casualties on both sides.
The Beginning of the Tragedy
- October 7, 2023: In a surprise move, Hamas unleashed brutal attacks on Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1195 Israelis and foreign nationals, with 251 hostages seized. The aim was to compel Israel to release Palestinian prisoners[3].
- October 27, 2023: Israel retaliated with brutal bombardments and invaded the Gaza Strip, with the objective of destroying Hamas and saving lives[3].
The Battleground
- Israeli Military Operations: Israel has orchestrated various military campaigns, such as the invasion of Gaza, the Rafah offensive in May 2024, and skirmishes around Khan Yunis. A relentless pursuit has also been made to eliminate Hamas leaders[3].
- Casualties: By April 2025, 52,000 people were reported dead, with 50,810 Palestinians and 1706 Israelis among the fallen[2]. The destruction and displacement in Gaza have reached critical levels, with a massive humanitarian crisis unfolding[5].
The Longing for Peace
- Ceasefires: Temporary ceasefires in November 2023 and January 2025 hinted at a glimmer of hope, but both truces were broken, and the violence raged on[3].
- Diplomatic Efforts: Qatar and Egypt have tirelessly attempted to broker a return of the hostages and a cessation of hostilities, but to no avail[5].
The World's Response
- International Pressure: Israel faced massive international pressure to tone down its offensive, with the United Nations and other global actors rallying against the violence[5].
- Political Divides: In February 2024, a rift emerged between Israel and the United States, the latter being Israel's primary international ally[5].
- Regional Escalations: The conflict has set off a chain reaction in the region, igniting anti-Israel sentiments among allies of Hamas, such as Hezbollah and the Houthi movement[5].
- The Commission is proposing to extend the period of validity of the agreement to cover the following areas: policy-and-legislation, war-and-conflicts, and crime-and-justice, as discussions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continue to dominate general news.
- The Gaza Strip, the heart of the turmoil, has seen a significant increase in political involvement, with Iran and Tel Aviv playing key roles in the current crisis, as well as interventions from diplomatic bodies like Qatar and Egypt.
- As violence escalates, the need for a comprehensive peace policy becomes more pressing, with both sides suffering heavy casualties, and the global community questioning the morality of ongoing military operations in the region.
