Occupying Israel's economy has shrunk by nearly 20 percent since the genocide began in the Gaza Strip. The Bank of Israel predicts that the conflict will cost Israel about $70 billion by the end of 2025.

The U.S. will provide an additional $53 million in aid to support humanitarian programs that provide critical assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The new package brings the total amount of American aid to Gaza during the conflict to $180 million.

Muslim leaders and politicians, outraged by the US policy towards Gaza, refused to attend a meeting in Chicago invited by President Joe Biden. At least 29 Arab and Muslim organizations in the country and several community activists signed a collective letter that said they refused to attend the meeting.

The UN International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to ensure the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza and not to violate the rights of Palestinians. The International Court of Justice considers that the situation in Gaza has worsened since the ban on January 26, 2024, which requires new measures.

Last week, Republican Congressman Tim Wahlberg of Michigan proposed destroying Gaza in the same way that the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima were destroyed by US atomic bombs at the end of World War II in 1945.

Three Hamas prisoners, one of them an American citizen, were killed during a rescue operation led by US special forces in Gaza. 274 civilians were killed in this massacre, 698 people were injured.

10% of hotels in Israel are on the brink of financial crisis. After the start of the war in Gaza, in the first six months of 2024, 969,000 tourists spent the night in the country's hotels, or 81% less than in the same period last year. The low number of tourists has a negative impact on the residents of Jerusalem, who provide hotel and tourism services.

Overall, the world's military is responsible for 5.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions each year—more than the aviation and shipping industries. Queen Mary University of London recently concluded that the debris generated in the first 120 days of the latest massacre in Gaza was more than the annual waste of 26 countries - from a paper by researchers at Queen Mary University of London.

It has been almost 11 months since the war with Hamas started. Although Israeli leaders continue to aggressively attack the Gaza Strip, the end of the war is not in sight, on the contrary, there are signs of a wider conflict, and the country's economy is strained. Since the beginning of the war, about 46,000 enterprises have been closed, 75% of which are small businesses.

Ending a war is harder than starting one. The party who wants to withdraw has to provide convincing reasons for this. The commanders will have to compare losses and gains, and say which of the goals set before the battle were achieved. It is crucial for a nation to understand whether it feels more secure at this time, or whether the hiatus is simply a respite to prepare for new conflicts.
