According to Khaled Elgindy (a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute), The idea of a Jewish separate homeland was first waved in 1800 by the Zionists. There was great sympathy for the Zionist project throughout the 1930s and 40s for instance and of course, after the Holocaust, that was combined with enormous sympathy for the Jewish genocide that determined the American support for the establishment of a separate state. The support the US had, the Idea of "Shared Democratic Values and the strategic desire of both is something common in the US and Israel they called it. That does not feel it has with the other Middle East Muslim states.
It really started with the 'Cold War' When after World War II in the late 1980s both the United States and the Soviet Union were competing to be the dominant global powers the rivalry also played out in the Middle East, especially in Egypt Israel's Neighbour. Egypt was among the five Muslim states at War with Israel.
In 1955 Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nassar bought weapons to strengthen its defence system against Israel, from the Soviet Union. And marked a new division of the new Middle East. With that, Nassar separated himself from the West and the Middle East into pro-Soviet and pro-Western camps. Egypt thought that it required the weapons to maintain a military edge over hostile Arab neighbours and many times in 1950 asked America. And in 1962 they under the rule of President Kennedy agreed.
Lots of efforts on and off have been made to resolve the 75-year issue of Israel and Palestine from the 1990s to 2005. Early efforts to negotiate peace did seem possible.
The ongoing war that started on October 7 has prompted six meetings of the United Nations General Assembly. During these meetings, various countries have drafted resolutions on a humanitarian basis for Gaza and the West Bank, urging Israel to stop the genocide. However, the United States has consistently vetoed these resolutions.
Al Jazeera has reported on these developments.
Recently, the UAE has requested an immediate ceasefire on the forum of the General Assembly. The United States has consistently rejected the call for a permanent ceasefire, stating that an immediate one would only benefit Hamas in preparing for the next conflict.
Washington sends military ships and aircraft after deadly Palestinian attacks despite billions in military aid to Israel. The US President has promised Rock-Solid and unwavering to its closest ally in the Middle East. It provides $3bn in annual military aid following the Saturday attack the militant group Hamas has quickened its military and moral support.
The US Secretary of State has criticized the attack and called it a 'Terror attack' emphasizing the need of the hour "We have immediately engaged our Isareli and allies.
- Austin said that the US is augmenting Air Force F-35, the most advanced fighter jet in the world, along with the F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the region. with more sophisticated aircraft and 5,000 sailors on it.
- The Biden administration has approved a $107 million sale of Army tank ammunition and equipment to Israel after invoking an emergency declaration that will bypass Congress’s typical review period for weapons sales.
- The administration has sent billions of dollars worth of weapons to Israel in the last two months
The US, Israel's closest ally, has over the years given the Jewish state more than $260bn in military and economic aid and has promised additional equipment, air defence missiles, guided bombs and ammunition.
It has also sent two aircraft carrier strike groups to the eastern Mediterranean to deter Israel's enemies, particularly Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, from opening a second front in the war
It's embroiled other nations in the region and abroad, posing thorny questions centred on respective rights of self-determination.
In 1896 near the end of the 20th century Jewish activist and founder of political Zionism Theodor Herzl waved a Pamphlet named " The Jewish State" to ensure the existence of a separate homeland for Jews to protect their rights. Herzal proposed a piece of land of the Ottoman Empire for the Jews. Calling, it "our over memorable historic home".

In 1897 First Zionist Organization was founded.
1917 The Balfour Declaration promised a separate land for the Jews. He was of the view that "sympathy with the Jewish zionist aspirations".
1919 Emir Feisal, presented a memorandum to the Paris Conference, mapping the case for the independence of Arab countries.
Why Did Hamas Attack Israel Now?
The Coordinated attack caught Israel by surprise and a loud roar of the month's tension. One of the deadliest attacks in tears has renewed the attention to a conventional problem.
The Jewish population had increased significantly by 1945 but did not outnumber the Arab Palestinians. The British attempted various methods to resolve the conflict between the Jewish and Arab populations. However, these solutions proved unsuccessful. In 1947, the British handed over the Palestinian issue to the United Nations. After exploring different options, the United Nations proposed the partition of British Palestine into two independent states - one for the Palestinian Arabs and the other for the Jewish population.
Jerusalem is considered a holy site for three major religions. To maintain peace, the United Nations decided to take control of the city and declared it a special international zone. The Jewish people accepted this plan and declared their independence, resulting in the establishment of Israel on May 14th, 1948. However, the Arab population was opposed to this decision, as they saw the United Nations' partitioning of Palestine as an attempt to spread Western influence in the Middle East.
Arab Israeli War
In 1948, the Arab world swiftly reacted to Israel's declaration of independence on the 15th of May. Arab forces from Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, North Yemen, and Lebanon joined the Arab League. They created the Arab Liberation Army, filled with rebellious volunteers, to fight against the Jews. The Arab forces surrounded Israel from three sides and started attacking.
In response, Israel trained its population and military. They even sent agents to Europe to retrieve World War II stocks and signed armed contracts. This gave rise to the first Arab-Israeli war, which lasted for almost a year and ended on the 10th of March, 1949. By the end of this war, Israel dominated the conflict and won more territory, leading to a new map of Israel after 1949.
The outcome of the war was that the western part of Jerusalem came under Israel's control. The eastern part of Gaza came under Israel's control and the whole city of Aker in north Israel came under Israel's control on the other hand Jordan annexed and gained control of the West Bank and Egypt gained control of the Gaza Strip after the end of the war hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs left and fled the Israeli territory and moved into Jordan Lebanon Syria and Egypt on the other hand Jewish communities who lived in many Arab countries since ages were also forced to leave and they all took shelter in the Israeli territory many Jewish people especially the European Jews were pleased to come back to their homeland and choose to settle there this kind of movement on both side continued till 1967.
In between in the year 1956 there was a second Arab-Israeli war which is also referred to as the Suez Crisis or tripartite aggression Britain, France and Israeli military attacked Egypt on 29 October 1956 to acquire the Senna peninsula and take over the Swiss canal because the Egyptian government had nationalized the Swiss canal in July 1956.
These countries realized the importance of the Swiss Canal in maritime trade as you know, the Swiss Canal is the lifeline for all trade between the West and the East and they had concerns about having it under the control of an Arab country. However, there was political pressure from the United States the soviet union and the United Nations which led to the withdrawal of Britain France and Israel on 2nd June 1964 PLO that is Palestinian Liberation Organization was founded however it did not come into the limelight until the end of third Arab Israeli war then in June 1967 the third Arab Israeli.
Third Arab-Israeli War
War took place it is also known as the June War or Six Day War it was fought between the combined group of Egypt Jordan and Syria against Israel the nations of Iraq Saudi Arabia Kuwait Algeria and others also contributed troops and arms to the Arab forces in six days Israel dominated the war and acquires the whole of west bank territory from Jordan Golan heights from Syria Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt.
When Israeli forces occupied the Sinai peninsula in 1967 in return Egypt closed the Swiss Canal it was closed in 1975 that is for almost eight years in 1975 Egypt and Israel signed a disengagement accord the Suez Canal was reopened in June 1975 then a peace treaty was signed between Egypt and Israel in 1979
After which the Senna peninsula was returned to Egypt after acquiring the West Bank Gaza Strip and Golan height Israeli settlers began to move into Palestinian territories even the United Nations condemned the Israeli occupation but I would request you not to judge too early let's put a marker here and we will get back to this Israeli occupation issue whether it is right or wrong.
Environmental Damages of War Toxic chemicals and rain down on the strip ...the collapse of water and sanitation system and the threat to flood the tunnels underneath Gaza could be catastrophic for freshwater supplies and reserves, It brings toxic legacy explosive chemicals dust and debris from the DESTROYED BUILDING pollute the air and ground UN reported the fact that in Palestine Israel is falling 42 bombs

AI has the potential to transform our lives for the better, but we must acknowledge that it also poses a grave threat to our existence. Companies must be held accountable and prevented from deploying AI in areas with significant risks. It is concerning that AI is being used to develop advanced weapons, which are being exploited by governments to monitor and censor citizens. The immediate risk of AI-generated misinformation, which could destabilize society and interfere with elections, cannot be ignored. It is remarkable how AI can mimic human expression and behaviour through pattern matching using computer technology. However, governments must take swift action to regulate its use and mitigate the risks posed by AI. Despite these challenges, AI's transforming powers have revolutionized medicine and science, making us more efficient and improving our quality of life. We must continue to push for responsible AI development and usage to ensure a safe and prosperous future.
But the fourth industrial revolution has also involved the evolution of advanced technologies that are creating disruption, new vulnerabilities and harmful repercussions, which still need to be fully understood, much less managed or regulated. A digitized world is facing the challenge of cybersecurity as threats mount across the world. Data theft and fraud, cyberattacks and breaches of critical systems, electricity networks and financial markets are all part of rising risks. This in turn could undermine the legitimacy of newly elected governments.
In a similar vein, the Eurasia Group’s Top Risks Report for 2014 says AI-created and algorithm-driven disinformation poses a threat in a year that will see elections in many countries. This could “influence electoral campaigns, stoke division, undermine trust in democracy, and sow political chaos on an unprecedented scale
Technology is also fueling a wave of disinformation around the world. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Report 2024 finds, based on its extensive annual survey, that the most ‘severe global risk’ over the next two years is the use of disinformation and misinformation by domestic and foreign actors, which will further sow social and political divisions and deepen polarization.
The mathematics of magical thinking in Pakistan’s general election
The resurrection of a party stripped of its core leadership, its election symbol, its dignity, and its identity, with its founder in prison and its party workers also languishing in jails without bail, is confusing in a country like Pakistan. Usually, the patterns are pretty predictable here. Pakistanis are susceptible to intimidation, happy to be bribed, too poor to care, and too illiterate to know better... go with the stereotypes.
But after a year of crushing poverty, unemployment, soaring food and fuel prices and the sky falling on top of them, millions of people had nothing left to give or lose, except a fighting spirit.
Give ordinary Pakistanis struggling to survive the credit they deserve for waking up on Feb. 8, pulling themselves up by their chappal straps, and walking to their polling stations. Lay to rest the offensive, damaging myth that the rural Pakistani voter is too illiterate, too unaware to know who they should vote for. On election day, millions of people who couldn’t read or write, millions of elderly, and millions of first-time voters, researched and memorized the correct election symbols from among hundreds of independent candidates, and put their stamps in the right place.
The disastrous political fallout of Pakistan’s questionable electoral legitimacy
Brewing Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions are dangerous for regional security
Such reckless and thoughtless decisions to expel the entire Afghan refugee population have made things worse.
There are some 1.7 million undocumented Afghans out of more than an estimated three million living in this country. Many of them have been here for the past four decades.it is counter-productive and creates serious problems for our internal and external security.
