The Ongoing Israel-Palestine Conflict in Gaza
The persistence of the Israel-Palestine conflict in Gaza in 2023 is nothing short of an egregious crime against humanity. What is shown on the surface as the cause for this ongoing strife is merely the tip of the iceberg. The fact that this conflict endures, and even garners support, is an unconscionable atrocity. It is high time we recognize that behind the scenes, this is not just a matter of territorial disputes, but rather a manifestation of the political and economic interests of powerful states, driven by an insatiable desire to maintain their dominance. Regrettably, it's the civilian population who bears the brunt of this calculated game, and it is incumbent upon humanity to wake up and act collectively.

USA Supporting Israel
The Israel Hamas struggle which has now entered its fourth day well this robot video shows the size of Obliteration harvested across the Gaza Strip throughout the course of recent days Israel's Military professes to have hit a further 200 Hass Focuses in for the time being bombarding Israel has requested a complete bar of Gaza removing food water and supplies the UN Common liberties Boss says The Attack is unlawful under global regulation while the World Wellbeing Association is requiring the foundation of a compassionate Hallway well to address your inquiries I'm joined now by the BBC's Center East examiner Sebastian Asher and going along with us from Jerusalem as BBC reporter previously situated in Gaza John donison hi to you both and thank you to you both for going along with us today Sebastian let me start with you we have an inquiry from alimu jalo in Guinea and they say for what reason is the US supporting Israel with all the killing done in Gaza it's an entirely reasonable inquiry it's one that many individuals pose uh from one side of the planet to the other and I mean I think in this specific occasion right now the US is positively not the only one in that frame of mind of what Hamas has done in light of the monstrosities that have been completed right now it's being uh seen by most legislatures absolutely most western state run administrations to be straightforward a ton of Bedouin legislatures, etc all over the planet as a fear monger act that will change definitely as The Attack on Gaza develops yet a more extensive setting of that is the US has basically yes it gives uh tremendous monetary help to Israel it gives very nearly 4 billion bucks the majority of that goes in military equipment the vast majority of which comes from us organizations it vetos movements goals at the UN Security Gathering which reprimand Israel now the actual US as government's change basically has remained basically a similar position it sees itself and it attempts to introduce itself as a fair arbiter in the contention and basically complying with the possibility that a two-state arrangement is required under President trump it changed somewhat yet with President Biden it's returned to that yet according to the Palestinian viewpoint they accept that that isn't true yet it isn't impartial uh that it is basically so firmly aligned with Israel not as far as the help that it gives yet in addition I mean from a political perspective I mean the us as a majority rule government sees and I think most American residents see Israel as a the main working majority rules system like the US in the Center East they see it as a Power for good thus obviously there's a huge Jewish populace too uh in the US which has a major say in decisions and not very many lawmakers need to say anything that that conflicts with what they need to say so I mean I imagine that the US has somewhat um made a solid attempt to get an answer for the contention there have been a few incid I mean back in 2003 was the nearest for its come to the two-state arrangement talks have slowed down yet there is this sense and I believe it's a truly reasonable sense from the Palestinians as well as yet more generally that its finger is undeniably more weighted towards the Israeli side and the Palestinian side in spite of the way that it will censure some of Israel does and most as of late with the flow extreme right moderately extreme right Israeli government under under uh Benjamin Netanyahu there's been probably the most grounded analysis such a long ways from the US of an Israeli government yet right now that is all in hold right now the US would be 100 percent behind Israel Sebastian gratitude for that John let me pose you an inquiry put to us from Ditty Fenton and she expresses out loud whatever will it take for Hamas to quit attempting to demolish the entire of Israel what compromise uh would be enough how might harmony be accomplished without Shared understanding and regard for the two sides I don't figure it can and I imagine that is the reason uh there has been this obstinate clash now for a really long time and I think Gaza is significant on the grounds that until some kind of uh split the difference as you say can be reached with heras in Gaza you are never going to experience harmony in the Center East and I think at certain focuses over the course of the past many years when there keeps on being this discussion from Western nations the US England the EU uh of the the objective being a two-state arrangement uh yet Hamas on the grounds that such countless nations see Hamas as a psychological oppressor association who they're not ready to converse with not piece of the conversations it was consistently whimsical truly to imagine that there could be a two-state arrangement until Hamas were essential for that arrangement and they have not exactly recommended uh that they were prepared to acknowledge the presence of Israel uh as a state close by a potential future Palestinian State uh that has been new nuanced now and again throughout the long term yet basically Hamas says it needs uh the land uh between the Stream Jordan and the Ocean so all of what was generally Palestine it's fascinating what John said there Sebastian I need to get some information about this I've had a ton of messages about this from individuals the psychological militant association Hamas how can it be that news associations like the BBC like ITV like sky like various different associations don't utilize the term psychological militants while depicting Hamas assailants I believe it's uh I mean there are various reasons I consider one the reasons is that when you are communicating to a world crowd uh you need your discernments how you are will be are will be are managing the story not to look as though you are taking a specific side and calling a gathering a fear monger gathering will continuously look that way and individuals will constantly be requesting for this purpose or that cause that it's called psychological militant or that isn't called psychological oppressor so I so I think the BBC feels that the most ideal way that it can keep a feeling of of some type of objectivity of not looking fractional is to do that I think it becomes troublesome ult when there are acts abominations that are done I mean I think the way that is much of the time found around that by associations like the BBC is to talk about Demonstrations of Dread or to have the voices of individuals who are reviling it as psychological warfare yet not itself utilizing that term yet yes it goes under analysis I'm certain you and I John too I mean we have these conversations both expertly yet additionally by and by you know a lot of the time and according to the Palestinian viewpoint I mean again uh numerous Palestinians just would I mean I mean they would feel I believe assuming that we portrayed Hamas as a psychological militant gathering they would feel that that was it could be said a sort of all out resurrection to them I mean they see it as an obstruction development and they would see I think it as resembling the us yet we done being impartial if on the off chance that we took that let me pose you another inquiry Sebastian this is from maragold Robbins in France and maragold says the US and Europe shield Ukraine for what reason are they not guarding uh Palestine well I mean there's more Subtlety to that question isn't there I mean without getting profoundly into Ukraine I mean Ukraine was what was happening that unexpectedly emitted what we're referring to and what John was referring to there is what is happening among Israel and P yet has been happening for quite a long time and it has you realize it has moved in its equilibrium endlessly time again Ukraine you know was was basically toward the beginning plainly according to most viewpoints an intrusion by Russia that Ukraine was opposing and I believe that Lucidity at that point simplified it for legislatures to answer in like that while the issue between the Palestinians and the Israelis is one which is so implanted in such countless various stages that it's harder for legislatures to emerge with such a highly contrasting position yet I mean you can't repudiate the way that the European Association that the UK the US I mean these nations to offer monetary help to the Palestinians and have done I mean the US has been however again it blows hot and cold has been one of the fundamental allies monetarily of the UN an organizations which basically move the Palestinians along as much as uh that is accomplished both in Gaza and in involved West Bank so I mean I think with these things Ian it's an exceptionally exhausting response yet there is you know a lot of subtlety to this and I think we as columnists need to attempt to remain with that however much as could be expected as opposed to going with the primary purpose of a story at one specific second and attempt and remain as consistent with that as could really be expected and attempt to make you know a crowd of people uh care about that part of a story as opposed to quickly go one side or the other I don't have the foggiest idea John's opinion on that well it's intriguing I mean I uh covered uh two short Conflicts in Gaza when I was based there in 2012 and afterward I returned 2014 and something that struck me was um for instance the US gives a ton of the tactical help to Israel that causes such a large amount the annihilation in Gaza uh and simultaneously you know uh a ton of the EU England France And so on offers a ton of help to Israel in managing Hamas in Gaza however at that point it is additionally those equivalent nations who uh support Israel who are then paying endlessly time again for the Recon Development in Gaza and it was what was going on I guess that what there was a kind of example of each and every two three years there is one more conflict in Gaza and things will get modified and afterward things will get annihilated in the future and I think what Israel has said this time is they need to well the two sides truly Hamas has said they need a finish to the norm they need to change the dynamic and I think Israel currently in its reprisal feels that it believes should do likewise and change that the state of affairs in Support of its John gratitude for that Sebastian we had one more inquiry here from Damen Armstrong and Staffordshire uh saying why is supporting to military guide required and required by Israel a somewhat rich country against the Palestinians well I mean it's not just against the Palestinians I mean the the tactical help that is given to Israel is intended to safeguard it.

The Israel Vs Gaza War
As the mutual attacks between Israel and Hamas continue an unexpected move has come from the Palestine Liberation Army the Palestine Liberation Army has cornered the Hamas militia located in the Gaza Strip Hamas forces are under blockade the Israel Defense Forces recently announced that they will launch a ground operation against the Gaza Strip warning Gaza citizens to evacuate the city and migrate south gazans who took their belongings with them took to the streets the people of Gaza who left their homes formed cues for kilometers on the streets some of them chose to stay in Gaza Despite All These Warnings the vast majority of the Palestinian people do not consider this war launched by hamos against Israel Justified for this reason the vast majority of Palestinian citizens prefer to leave the city rather than support Hamas however the hamus leadership is pursuing a very aggressive policy that the Palestinian people do not support it after this war between Israel and Hamas began the hamus militias resorted to looting because they could not find the support they wanted hundreds of Palestinian citizens mainly homeless citizens were kidnapped by the Hass militia and recruited into the organization these people who were forced to fight were beaten if they did not fight the last point that overwhelmed the patience of the Palestinian Authority was that the Hamas militia did not allow Palestinian citizens to leave the city despite the Israeli Army warning to evacuate the city before launching air strikes against Gaza the HZ militia did not allow the Palestinian people to leave the city placing trucks and buses at the exit points of the city when the Israeli Army launched air strikes against Gaza it was too late for everything although the Palestinian people wanted to leave the city the refusal of the Hamas militia to allow it caused anger against the Hamas Administration to grow even more after these tensions decayed between Hamas and the Palestinian people an interesting statement came from the Palestinian president Palestinian president mmud abas stated that Hamas does not represent Palestine and that the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people is the Palestine Liberation Organization the really interesting thing started after that the Palestine Liberation Army the military wing of the Palestine Liberation Organization stated that they had decided to fight against Hamas and that they were taking action to expel Hamas forces from the Gaza Strip hundreds of reservists including retired commanders who previously served in the pal Palestine Liberation Army have been called up to the Army again soldiers of the Palestine Liberation Army and Hamas militia faced off for the first time in the town of al- Madar located in the Gaza Strip the Palestine Liberation Army soldiers who entered the town of almadar which is under the control of the Hamas militia carried out an hours long confrontation with the Hamas militia in this town according to information obtained from Regional sources an army Outpost belonging to Hamas forces was heavily damaged during this deconfliction between Palestinian soldiers and Hamas militia men at the same time more than 60 Hass soldiers stationed at the police station lost their lives during these clashes Palestine Liberation Army soldiers after entering the town of almader allowed Palestinian citizens who were stranded in the town to leave the town thousands of Palestinian citizens forcibly held by the the hus militia are said to have left the town and migrated towards the south of the city do you think the Palestine Liberation Army has a chance against the hus militia the Palestine Liberation Organization which was founded in 1964 thanks to the Intensive support of the then Egyptian president Gamal abdonas was founded due to the leadership deconfliction between the Arab states soon after the Arab states established military schools to educate Palestinians in the direction of struggle and thus the Palestine Liberation Army was established with the Palestinian Liberation Army taking action against the Hamas militia Israeli army tanks began to appear in the Border area the Israel Defense Forces had issued a statement that they had postponed the upcoming ground operation against Gaza however it is expected that Israel's ground operation will be launched with this fight launched by Palestine Liberation Army soldiers against Hass on the other hand attacks against Israel through leanis territory have started to increase with the Lebanese Hezbollah increasing its attacks against Israel the Israeli Army demanded the evacuation of residential areas 2 km from the Lebanese border attempts by the Hezbollah militia to infiltrate Israel through the Lebanese borders continue the Israeli Army has increased its security measures at the border to the highest level in order order to prevent Hezbollah from entering Israel's borders Lebanese prime minister najib maati said in a statement that there is no point in going on an adventure on the Israeli border and opening jaha but Israel has clearly stated that it will destroy Lebanon the outbreak of a major Hezbollah threat in the north of the country while Mutual deconfliction between Israel and Hamas continue has greatly angered Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Israeli government officials have given a message that they will launch a war against Lebanon by making statements about the opening of a second front the Hezbollah Mila is trying to weaken the Israeli Army by targeting outposts located on Israel's border with Lebanon Israel on the other hand has already begun preparations for war against Lebanon by creating a 4 kilm buffer zone in this region the ongoing tension between Israel and Iran for many years seems to have created an opportunity for Iran does the Hezbollah organization supported by Iran really dare to start a war against Israel the Israeli Army announced that all citizens living in 28 settlements and towns located near the Lebanese border will be evacuated with this evacuation Israeli citizens living on the Lebanese border will be placed in hotels and guest houses located in safer areas the harat's newspaper operating in Israel wrote that all expenses will be covered by the Israeli government at the moment hezbollah's claims that it will launch a major attack on Israel are occupying the agenda the Israel Defense Forces said that Iran had given instructions to Hezbollah and recently made statements that Hezbollah was planning a major attack on Israel the possibility of Hezbollah opening a second front against Israel scares many experts War analysts say that in such a situation it is possible that even superpowers such as the United States and China could come face to face Israeli National Security adviser Tashi hanegby stated openly that they would destroy Lebanon hanegby stated that if the Iranian backed Hezbollah organization starts a war on a second front against Israel they will destroy Lebanon and there is a possibility that the war will spread to the entire Middle East following these statements by Israeli official Tachi hanegbi us defense secretary AR Lloyd Austin made a suggestion that Israel should not launch an attack against Hezbollah after this proposal by the US defense minister an Israeli Army spokesman issued a statement our mission is to fight Hamas an Israeli Army spokesman said adding we are maintaining our additional capabilities in case Hezbollah makes the mistake of testing us however Israeli Army spokesman Daniel Hager called for war saying we can attack anywhere in the Middle East if we see the need.

Gaza Strip
A Tiny Land with Colossal Significance In the heart of the Middle East, the Gaza Strip is a minuscule piece of land, but don't be deceived by its modest size. With just 365 square kilometers, this territory holds immense importance. In 2020, UN estimates indicated a population of around two million Palestinians, resulting in an extraordinary population density of approximately 5,000 people per square kilometer. Like a powder keg ready to ignite, the rapid population growth only accentuates the already-present tensions.
