Recognition of Palestine as a State
This week saw the formal recognition of Palestine as a State by Spain, Norway, Ireland and Slovenia. This decision has generated various interpretations and speculations about his motivations.
United States paper
The United States plays an important role in this conflict. President Joe Biden and his team face a complicated situation as they have to consider several factors, including the presidential election and the support of the pro-Israel lobby.
Internal division in Israel
In Israel, polarization and internal division are on the rise. The War Cabinet is in danger of disintegrating and opposition leader Benny Gantz has threatened to call early elections if Netanyahu does not come up with a future plan for Gaza.
Changes in public opinion
Public opinion in Israel is changing. After the Hamas attack, there was strong support for the fight against the group, but now more than 60% of the population believe that a “total victory” in Gaza is “impossible”.
