In 2025, Israeli settlers, backed by the army, displaced rural Palestinian communities in the West Bank at unprecedented rates. It is part of Israel’s escalating strategy to take control of as much of the territory as possible.

For Palestinians in Gaza, Phase 2 of the ceasefire offers little hope that it will fundamentally change the status quo Israel has established over the past three months, which many refer to as “a new form of genocide.”

Aid organizations say Israel’s recent ban of 37 groups has dealt a severe blow to humanitarian work across Palestine. In Gaza, it means “cutting off a lifeline for over two million people,” says Rahma Worldwide’s Dr. Shadi Zazzah.

Palestinians are in a political crisis. With Palestinian society divided, and no unified national leadership to represent it, regional and global powers are drawing up plans for the future of Gaza and Palestine – without any say from Palestinians.

Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir’s statement that the “Yellow Line” dividing Gaza will be Israel’s new border shows that Israel’s plan in Gaza follows its history of redrawing its borders through ethnic cleansing and land grabs.

Human rights organizations call the killing of two unarmed Palestinians in Jenin by Israeli soldiers an “extrajudicial execution.”

Israel is using existing ceasefire agreements to establish new realities on the ground, projecting itself as the regional hegemon by launching attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank.

Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah’s top military commander threatens the collapse of the ceasefire with Lebanon and the return to war.
