Recent developments in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict demonstrate the complexity and depth of the problem that continues to drag on. Since 2023, tensions between the two sides have increased, with a series of violent incidents reflecting an increasingly unstable situation. One of the important recent events was the attack on the Gaza Strip which occurred in May 2023. Israel launched a series of air strikes in response to rocket attacks from the Hamas group which was seen as triggering chaos in the border region. These attacks caused heavy civilian casualties, with reports indicating that hundreds of Palestinians were killed, including women and children. On the other hand, Israel also experienced losses with a number of civilians affected by rocket attacks. In the midst of this chaos, international diplomacy efforts continue. Several Arab countries, including Egypt and Qatar, are trying to bridge dialogue between Israel and Hamas. Although these efforts are often hampered by a lack of trust between the two sides, there is hope that a meeting between Palestinian and Israeli leaders can reduce tensions in the region. In this context, the role of the United States remains significant, with many observers hoping that US involvement can accelerate the peace process. Meanwhile, Palestine was also experiencing internal political changes. Presidential elections and parliamentary elections delayed for years led to criticism of Mahmoud Abbas’ leadership. Many Palestinians believe that reform is necessary to bring in new leaders who understand the challenges and aspirations of society. In public discussions, the issue of corruption and lack of transparency in government is also a central theme. On the Israeli side, the government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces challenges from the opposition as well as domestic criticism over how it handles the conflict. The military approach taken by Netanyahu is often seen as a step that worsens the situation, and generates dissatisfaction among a society that wants a more peaceful and sustainable solution. The international community is also increasingly paying attention to the long-term impacts of this conflict. Many non-governmental organizations and international bodies are simultaneously working to provide humanitarian assistance to affected Palestinians, while advocating for human rights for all parties involved. The UN passes resolutions calling for a containment of violence, but implementation is often weakened by political disagreements. In a social context, increasing tensions have sparked a number of protests in various parts of the world. Many people, especially the younger generation, have become increasingly vocal on social media, calling for Palestinian rights and demanding justice. Social media has become a means for activists to disseminate information, mobilize and fight for social justice in the face of policies that are seen as discriminatory. These developments show that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not just a war between two parties, but also a battle of narratives, identities and human rights. With each new episode of violence, hope for achieving peace seems to fade, although the desire to resolve the conflict remains in the hearts of many people affected by the situation.
