Israel’s indifference to international law is destabilizing the Middle East, even establishment voices say. The head of the Center for American Progress, a Democratic Party thinktank, says Israel is not a democracy and peace will only be possible if Palestinians have equal rights.

Iran said that its retaliation for Israel’s April 1 attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus would be “deemed concluded,” while Biden reportedly told Netanyahu that the U.S. would not back an Israeli counterattack.

The U.S. and Israel intensify preparations for a potential Iranian strike in response to Iran’s Damascus consulate attack. Hamas conditioned a ceasefire and prisoner swap on the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza.

Israel and Iran escalated threats of war as the U.S. central command chief visited the region on Thursday. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes intensify in the central Gaza Strip.

Benjamin Netanyahu continues to raise the risk of a regional war which could draw in the U.S. — and the mainstream media is hiding the danger from its audience.

The U.S. government threatens further regional violence on the heels of drone attack that killed three American troops in Jordan. Human rights groups slam countries for pulling funding for UNRWA as Palestinians in Gaza face famine and starvation.

Biden insists Netanyahu is open to a two-state solution, despite Netanyahu stating the opposite. Meanwhile, a Palestinian-American teenager was killed by Israelis in the West Bank, and the UN estimates two mothers are killed in Gaza every hour.

The instability in the Middle East cannot be overstated as the region stands on the precipice. It all stems from Israel’s ongoing slaughter in Gaza and the Biden administration’s blind support of it.

While Palestine’s envoy to the UN says that the Security Council resolution is a step in the right direction, others have called it “toothless” and “utterly meaningless” to civilians in Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel continues its military raids into Jenin.
