What Is Currently Happening?


The problem exactly is that Palestinians are claiming half of Jerusalem, and hoping it would be the capital of their future state, should they gain independence. Whereas Israel already claims the whole of Jerusalem as their capital.

On Monday, the Israeli police and Palestinians clashed at a holy site in Jerusalem called Haram al-Sharif. These clashes triggered the current fighting (which has actually become a war) between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza.

In the wake of the crisis, Hamas, a military organization that controls the Palestinian city of Gaza, demanded that police presence be removed from the holy mosque earlier this week before the clashes escalated.

When that didn’t happen, Hamas launched rockets into Israeli territory and it became a war.

Israel, who had intercepted hundreds of rockets with their Iron Dome, responded by launching missiles into some parts of Gaza. There have been reports of deaths and injuries on both sides.

Still, Hamas hasn’t stopped launching rockets into Israel. The Israeli Defense Force has also made it clear they won’t stop attacking Gaza either.

What Happens Now?


Well, unless you are in Israel or Gaza or anywhere close, you have nothing to worry about really. But it is clear now that this has nothing to do with Jews killing Muslims.

It is not a religious conflict at all and can only be resolved politically. In fact, there are Muslims and Arabs in the Israeli government and army. That makes the whole crisis even more complicated.

Who Do You Think Will Win This War? Israel or Palestine?

No winner. And at the end they'll be peace talks. Which is why it is senseless for both sides to continue this mindless fighting which will be bring irreparable damage to the country as a whole
