The 2014 Gaza War, initiated by Israel on July 8, resulted in over 2,200 Palestinian and 73 Israeli deaths, with 1.5 million people displaced. This conflict stemmed from escalating tensions following the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers. Global protests, reminiscent of those in 2014, reflect ongoing international calls for a diplomatic resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and highlight the war's long-term implications for regional stability.
