Historical Context

The current escalation in the Israel-Hamas conflict echoes past violence that has shaped the region. Since Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories began in 1967, tensions have consistently flared, notably during the Second Intifada (2000-2005) and the 2014 Gaza War. Each cycle of violence has deepened humanitarian crises, as seen now with over 50,000 casualties reported since October 2023, highlighting the ongoing struggle for peace and justice.
