Israel has started bombing the Gaza Strip again. Israel does not hesitate to bomb innocent Palestinians, even during the holy month of Ramadan. Last week, it bombed civilian buildings and hospitals full of patients and tents of refugees and killed hundreds of innocent children and women. The world remains silent about the ongoing genocide. Neither their Arab or Muslim brethren nor the international community has done something to save the innocent Palestinian people from Israeli oppression.
When President Trump took office, he promised to end the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, positioning himself as the only leader capable of achieving peace. However, his diplomatic efforts have so far fallen short.
U.S. President Donald Trump has labeled his plan to take over the Gaza Strip and Palestinian lands in general as “real estate development for the future.” The plan is actually to take over the Gaza Strip. He claimed that he would persuade both Jordanian and Egyptian leaders to accept the relocation of about 2 million Palestinians in their countries.
Trump, whose actions were unsurprising given his campaign promises, waged a war to hollow out federal agencies while simultaneously dismantling institutions that held America's claim to leadership in the international system.
Will the world accept Trump's scandalous remarks on Gaza's future?
U.S. President Donald Trump continues to make scandalous statements regarding the future of Gaza. His remarks about the expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip have sparked outrage worldwide. These statements were followed by comments about “an announcement on the annexation of the West Bank within a month” and later, “the transfer of Gaza to the U.S.” and “its reconstruction.”

West's self-inflicted crises: Trump is result, not reason
Most observers both in the West and in other parts of the world nowadays discuss the impact of Donald Trump’s return to power in the United States.

Many Western academicians and intellectuals have been trying to show that Trump’s administration and policies are an anomaly in the Western world. Thus, they mislead the world's public opinion.

A three-phase cease-fire was reached between Hamas and Israel last weekend, brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the United States. The first phase began last Sunday when Israel released 90 Palestinians from prison in response to Hamas’ release of three Israelis. The Israeli forces ceased their genocidal attacks on the Gaza Strip and the Gazan people breathed a sigh of relief, at least temporarily. Israel promised to allow the entrance of 600 aid trucks daily and to reopen Gaza’s Rafah crossing with Egypt on the seventh day of the agreement and at the last phase, to withdraw its forces from Gaza.
The present Report examines Israel’s attacks from legal perspective depend ing on the relevant rules of international law. In this sense, the Report handles three main issues. The first is whether Israel’s attacks can be justified on the basis of the right to self-defense. The second concerns the violations of international humanitarian law and the related crimes resulting from the violations. Finally, the Report evaluates the ongoing judicial processes initiated against or related to Israel.
The comprehensive and effective attack launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023, the al-Aqsa Flood Operation, has become a turning point not only in the Palestinian-Israeli question and the Middle Eastern balance of power but also in modern world history.
