Es muy probable que la muerte de Ismail Haniya provoque una escalada significativa en la guerra de Gaza y, posiblemente, en todo Oriente Próximo.
L’Iran pourrait effectuer des représailles directes contre Israël ou confier cette tâche à ses alliés, à commencer par le Hezbollah libanais.
The killing of the Hamas leader in Iran may provoke a wider regional war.
Israel has cogent reasons for wanting to eliminate the threat from Hezbollah, but previous interventions in Lebanon have come at a cost.
The longer the war drags on, the more it has highlighted the fact that Israel has no long-term strategy for living side-by-side with its Palestinian neighbours.
US President Joe Biden’s recent warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has limited Israel’s options in Gaza. And neither of Israel’s war objectives appear to have been met.
The government’s rhetoric in response to the death of the Australian aid worker is stronger than we’d previously seen, but in a conflict with no clear solutions, little will change.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu probably feels he has no choice, from a political perspective, but to continue prosecuting the war in the same manner.
The US maintains a two-state solution is still possible, but Israel’s leader – and a majority of its people – disagree.
Israel obteve sucesso limitado em seus principais objetivos de guerra, enquanto o Hamas pode reivindicar uma vitória parcial porque ainda está de pé. Mas conflito pode caminhar para um impasse.
Israel ha tenido un éxito limitado en sus principales objetivos bélicos, mientras que Hamás puede reivindicar una victoria parcial porque sigue en pie. Pero, ¿se dirige el conflicto hacia un punto muerto?
Israel has seen limited success in its primary war aims, while Hamas can claim a partial victory because it is still standing. But is the conflict headed towards a stalemate?
The mistaken killing of three Israeli hostages by the Israeli Defense Forces at the weekend has substantially increased pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire.
With the Israel-Palestine conflict continuing, we asked a range of academics to nominate works that can help explain things.
With so many questions left unanswered, there is a growing disconnect between Netanyahu and the Biden administration in the US.
Here are six possible options for what a post-war Gaza might look like – and why none will seemingly work.
Os violentos ataques do Hamas, seguidos por fortísssima retaliação de Israel à Faixa de Gaza, podem estar refletindo alterações no jogo de interesses geopolíticos em todo o Oriente Médio.
Hamás ha lanzado un ataque en clave interna y externa. ¿Y ahora qué? ¿Hacia dónde se dirige el conflicto? Es poco probable que los estados árabes se embarquen en la escalada bélica e Israel también se pensará mucho una ofensiva terrestre para no poner en peligro a sus soldados.
Hamas named its action ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’, which emphasises what it sees as Israeli acts of desecration of a holy Islamic site in Jerusalem.
The new governing coalition will likely not further negotiations on a two-state solution. Would Palestinians consider a one-state solution instead?
Prime Minister Scott Morrison gave a carefully worded statement in response to questions of a prisoner swap. This kind of deal could bring criticism from Australia’s allies.
Although neither side apparently wants conflict, tensions remain over the presence of US troops in Iraq and Iran’s decision to walk away from part of the 2015 nuclear deal.
