The mobilization of 70,000 IDF reservists for a new land offensive in Gaza—Operation Gideon’s Chariots—is on the cards. The military escalation is taking place amidst deteriorating relations between Israel and the US.
A month has passed since the short-lived ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came to a violent end. Since then, Benjamin Netanyahu has once again upped the ante in his genocidal war on Gaza.
Israel has resumed its butchery in Gaza. At the time of writing, airstrikes and a ground operation have killed over 500 people, including more than 200 children.
The Palestinian issue has reignited Egyptian politics. Since Trump proposed the plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Sinai, it has become the main preoccupation of the Egyptian public.
The whole world situation is dominated by enormous instability as the result of the struggle for hegemony between American imperialism, which is in relative decline, and other weaker but nonetheless rising powers like China.
Following two weeks of heavy air strikes, the Israeli army crossed the border of Lebanon and started a land invasion of the country. This is a thoroughly reactionary war, backed and funded by American imperialism.
