Violence in Gaza Today Captures the Attention of…No One
Israel-Palestine, International Affairs

More than 1,400 have been wounded in clashes between Palestinian protesters and the Israeli military. The media has barely noticed.

Gaza is back in the headlines, grabbing, if only for a moment, the fickle international spotlight. The two million Palestinians living in the 141-square-mile spit that hugs the Mediterranean have no such luxury.

The latest evidence of the evolving nature of the war in Syria was on display Saturday, Feb. 10, when Israel mounted what a senior Israeli officer called “the biggest and most significant attack the air force has conducted against Syrian air defenses” since the 1982 Lebanon war. The unprecedented encounter was precipitated by the intrusion of an Iranian drone into Israeli airspace and led to the downing of a top-of-the-line Israeli F-16 by Syrian air defenses.

Trump’s Middle East ‘Deal of the Century’ Coming Into Focus

The rub: After the confetti falls, Palestinians won't be able to exercise true sovereignty, anywhere.

Donald Trump’s promise of “a deal of the century” to end the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is getting legs. After a year of discussions led by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, the main elements of the president’s design are coming into view. But it’s not exactly what the Palestinians want to see.

Netanyahu's hardline government is using the U.S. embassy move to expand and strengthen settlements, ending any prospect for peace.

Annexationists of all stripes are crowing about Donald Trump’s blockbuster decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
