War in Israel

On October 7, HAMAS militants breached the territory of Israel, prompting Israel to launch an operation against HAMAS. The next stage of this operation could involve a ground incursion into the Gaza Strip.

In the United States, Europe, and other countries around the world, protests and demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people are taking place. Often, these gatherings culminate in clashes and arrests.
