The notion that Israelis and Palestinians can share the Holy Land living in separate, independent nations fueled on-and-off peace talks for more than 20 years. But the latest round foundered in 2014. In recent years, Israel has focused on making peace with Arab states, leaving the Palestinians with limited self-rule under the ultimate control of Israel.

As the war between Israel and the Islamist Palestinian group Hamas has continued, it’s stoked violence in other parts of the Middle East. Militant groups backed by Iran, which supports Hamas and for years has engaged in a shadow war with Israel, have joined in.

In the war between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas, each side’s most powerful ally has aligned behind it. To support Israel, the US moved additional warships, aircraft and troops into the Middle East and expedited shipments of munitions. Iran, which backs Hamas, has said that Israel’s military operation against the group would be answered by the anti-Israeli and anti-Western groups it supports — the so-called axis of resistance. Already, the war between Israel and Hamas, considered a terr

What is “jihad”? The debate over the meaning of the word was reignited after the Palestinian group Hamas provoked a new war by massacring 1,400 people in Israel. The group, which is designated by the US and Europe as a terrorist organization, uses the word to describe its violent campaign to destroy Israel.
