Gaza Bombed as Arab Support Grows
The main issue remains the ongoing Israeli military escalation in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli artillery shelling around the Khozendar station resulted in the death of a woman and injuries to others. Military operations continue despite attempts to ceasefire. Since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025, the campaign has resulted in over 1,460 Palestinian deaths, in addition to more than 74,000 Palestinians killed since the start of the war, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. Meanwhile, Hamas attacks in October 2023 have led to the death of over 1,200 Israelis. Recently, there has been an escalation in military actions, with Israel resuming operations on March 18, 2026, amid political disagreements within Israel ahead of the elections scheduled for October 2026. Political blocs are closely watching the impact of Arab voting, which could complicate government formation. Diplomatic tensions are also rising, including a dispute between Israel and Britain over the consulate in Jerusalem, after Israel announced reductions in the British diplomatic presence, while Britain confirmed its embassy in Jerusalem continues to operate under the name "British Mission Jerusalem." Additionally, the humanitarian and living conditions in Gaza remain deteriorating, with international calls for protecting civilians and improving access for humanitarian aid. Internal and external politics are intertwined with the war and issues related to settlements, politics, and security in the region.
