Why it matters:
The ongoing Israeli violence in Gaza not only exacerbates the humanitarian crisis but also complicates diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a lasting peace in the region. The high death toll raises urgent questions about the effectiveness of current mediation strategies.
The big picture:
Since the onset of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023, the situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly.
