History

Historical Context

The 2014 Gaza War, which resulted in over 2,200 Palestinian and 73 Israeli deaths, intensified scrutiny of Israel's military actions and settlement policies. The conflict stemmed from longstanding tensions between Israel and Hamas, particularly after Hamas's 2006 takeover of Gaza. President Trump's proposed peace plan aims to address these issues, reflecting shifting public support for Israel and potential impacts on U.S. foreign policy and Israeli elections.
