The path from declarations of intent to real peace remains difficult The peace summit held in Egypt on resolving the conflict in the Gaza Strip was a large-scale event involving a number of regional and extra-regional actors, with strong participation from European countries. Its outcomes, however, were largely declarative. One of the main reasons for this was the absence of one of ...
International response remains fragmented As of the fall of 2025, the Gaza Strip is in the grip of a profound humanitarian crisis. After nearly two years of conflict, which began in October 2023, the toll on civilians is catastrophic. Weakened by a long blockade, the enclave’s population now stands on the brink of humanitarian ...
The current discussion surrounding the potential occupation of Gaza raises concerns about a similarly protracted engagement, with significant repercussions for both regional and global stability Introduction The United States, under President Donald Trump, has consistently followed a foreign policy that challenges traditional diplomatic practices and questions the settled conventions of international law. With a more aggressive and fierce approach anticipated by the Trump administration in 2025...
Interview with Vladimir Morozov, Vice-Rector of MGIMO University The war in the Gaza Strip has already passed the nine-month mark. Since the events of October 7 last year, there has been an unprecedented uptick of violence in the Palestinian–Israeli conflict zone. No solution to the fundamental problems related to the Palestinian–Israeli ...
... position on the events unfolding in the Middle East and in Ukraine, as well as on the state of the U.S.–China relations. U.S. President Joe Biden, Prabowo noted, had just taken a step in the right direction by endorsing a ceasefire proposal in the Gaza Strip. Indonesia would be willing to contribute to a UN peacekeeping contingent there and provide medical care to the civilian population — with the understanding that a genuine resolution of the Middle East conflict and a lasting peace in the ...
The debate over the post-war arrangements in Gaza is unlikely to put an end to the controversy about a possible U.S. presence “on the ground.” Israel’s Operation Arnon to free a group of hostages from the Gaza Strip has brought back into focus just how deeply the U.S. military is involved in the eight-month-long escalation of the conflict. The bloody infiltration into the Nuseirat refugee camp—where four Israelis who have now returned home were held—was ...
... escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict following a massive Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023. After Palestinian militants killed some 1,200 Israeli civilians and took 253 others as hostages, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip. The operation has proven to be more complex, costly and time-consuming than many predicted at its commencement. Timid hopes that everything could be completed before the onset of the holy month of Ramadan (that is, before March 11, 2024) crashed ...
... and blockade of Palestine by Israel, mentioned by UN Secretary General A. Guterres in October 2023. Yet they are all united in extremely negative assessments of the humanitarian consequences of the Iron Swords operation by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip. The final document of the LAS and OIC summit in Riyadh on November 11, 2023, attended by 57 heads of state, had the most pacifist tone possible, but it clearly condemned Israel’s war crimes campaign and demanded “an immediate ceasefire ...
... actions of the Palestinian side, which caused a response that far surpassed the Israeli reprisals in previous years, but in their view, they are generally understandable. Now, the goal is to eradicate Hamas’ military and political presence in the Gaza Strip as a direct threat to Israel’s security and existence. Palestinians, Arab states and the majority in the Global South, for all nuances in their approaches, see the root cause in the waning international attention to the Palestinian problem,...
... on the cusp of the first Middle East war, the number of refugees amounted to hundreds of thousands. But in the year 2023, the number of people plighted amounted to more than 13 million, including more than 5 million people living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip while another 8 million live as refugees in the neighboring countries. With more territories annexed, it could be even more difficult for Palestinians to get back their legal territories. The flowing of time does not necessarily solve the problem ...
