- Abstract
The article provides an update on the ongoing conflict in Gaza, highlighting the displacement of Palestinian civilians and the critical shortage of food and fuel in the region. The UN Security Council has called for an investigation into reported mass graves, while diplomatic efforts in Cairo to negotiate a ceasefire have hit an impasse. The article also discusses the rift between the Biden administration and the Netanyahu government, as well as the rise of global student protests calling for divestment from arms firms supplying Israel. The focus is now shifting towards achieving a two-state solution, with the Biden administration facing criticism for its handling of the situation. The article emphasizes the influence of global public opinion and the need for a shift in political dynamics to address the complexities of the conflict. The recent condemnation of Israel's military actions by the Biden administration and the UN General Assembly's resolution supporting the full membership of Palestine in the UN are seen as potential factors that could influence the trajectory of the conflict and pave the way for a peace agreement.
