An emergency meeting of the Arab League was held in Cairo a few days ago to talk about Israel's decision to stop UNRWA from doing its job in the seized Palestinian areas.

The meeting is being led by Yemen and is made up of permanent members because Jordan asked for it. MENA, Egypt's state news service, said that many Arab countries are in favor of it. The main goal of the meeting is to come up with a coordinated Arab reaction to the "dangerous and illegal laws" that were passed by the Knesset, which is Israel's government, that stop UNRWA from working in the occupied areas, such as East Jerusalem.

Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and holding 251 others hostage. In response, the Israeli military began a terrible attack on Gaza that has killed over 41,500 people, hurt 96,000, and forced about 1.9 million to leave their homes. Since then, there has been a lot more violence in the West Bank, Lebanon, and other places in the area. The Israel-Palestine conflict, characterized by profound geographical, political, and ideological disparities, saw a resurgence of severity beginning on October 7, 2023, due to a sequence of escalations that rekindled bloodshed throughout the area. The conflict, entrenched in ancient disagreements around land, identity, and sovereignty, garnered renewed worldwide attention when violence erupted amidst increased geopolitical difficulties.

The one-year of the war provides a chance to contemplate the escalation of hostilities, the regional and international responses, and the changing dynamics of war in the Middle East. An analysis of significant events over the last year facilitates a clearer comprehension of the present situation and potential future trajectories, while also assessing the efficacy of peace initiatives and humanitarian responses in light of escalating demands for resolution from the international community.
