About our Israel/Palestine news
Latest news on Israel-Palestine conflict, covering war in Gaza, peace efforts, humanitarian crisis, regional tensions and diplomatic developments.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains one of the world's most complex and enduring geopolitical challenges. The current phase escalated dramatically on 7 October 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, killing over 1,200 people and taking hostages. Israel's subsequent military campaign in Gaza has resulted in over 44,000 Palestinian deaths and created a severe humanitarian crisis.
As of December 2024, Israel continues operations across Gaza while facing mounting international pressure over civilian casualties and humanitarian concerns. The conflict has sparked regional tensions, with clashes between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, and Iranian involvement. International bodies, including the UN and ICJ, are investigating allegations of war crimes by both sides.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, with nearly all of its 2.3 million residents displaced and facing severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. Aid organisations struggle to deliver essential supplies amid ongoing military operations, while hospitals operate in extremely challenging conditions. The conflict has also impacted Palestinian communities in the West Bank, where tensions with Israeli settlers have escalated.
The roots of this conflict trace back to the early 20th century, involving competing national movements, territorial disputes, and the establishment of Israel in 1948. Key issues include control over Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees' right of return, Israeli settlements in occupied territories, and security concerns. The last major peace negotiations, the Oslo Accords of the 1990s, failed to achieve a lasting resolution.
