The Israel-Hamas Conflict: From Initial Hostage Crisis to Ongoing Skirmishes


The Israel-Hamas conflict has turned into small skirmishes from where it began on October 7th with the kidnapping of Israel and other citizens by Hamas, culminating so on till today by detonating pagers and wireless sets in the city of Beirut in Lebanon. In the aftermath large number of people and those also believed to have belonged to Hezbollah in the Israel-bordering state of Lebanon have been injured also resulting in deaths from these explosions.

Israel's PM has moved away from his goal of eliminating Hamas completely from Gaza since it all began with the IDF retaliating for the kidnapping. Neither of his goals in this operation has been in operation for almost a year of freeing the hostages held by the Hamas completely or completely eliminating the Hamas have been achieved in the year-long conflict. This clearly indicates how much a state can lower itself before a terror organization.

The war is at a stalemate at the expense of civilians' lives and the lives of multinational hostages. This highlights the poor state of affairs prevailing in Israel and with its main ally the US in coming to a decision with the US and Israel completely with totally contrary perspectives looking at this most urgent decision. So far the war continues to go out of the hands of the US.

The war if it continues can extend to a much bigger one in the course of its conflict which has started already shaking from top to bottom.

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

Dear Team, As we progress further into 2024, it’s imperative that we critically assess our campaign strategies and leadership dynamics. President Biden, with his extensive experience and long-standing commitment to public service, has undeniably contributed significantly to our nation. However, there is growing sentiment that his approach and perspectives may not fully align with the rapidly evolving political landscape and the diverse needs of contemporary American society.
