The Israel-Palestine war of 2023 — started immediately after the sudden attacks of Hamas on Israelis in Gaza — has passed more than a week, leading to the death of several thousand Israelis and Palestinians, mostly civilians. According to multiple sources including the BBC, the conditions of civilians in the Gaza Strip are dire, to say the least, driven by the continued aerial bombardment of the Israeli forces and a complete blockade. Along with many residential buildings, a hospital has also been attacked. But there is no indication of a ceasefire and ending the war between Israel and Hamas, increasing…

Renewed conflicts between Hamas and the Israeli military forces have led to a global concern. According to multiple television channels and newspapers including the BBC, the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood of Hamas on Israel and counterattacks of Israel in the Gaza Strip have led to a state of war between Israel and Palestine with the continuation of fighting, involving another party including Lebanon-based Hezbollah. While the deadly attacks of Hamas —which killed more than 600 Israelis — are regretful, the indiscriminate retaliatory attacks of Israel that killed more than 500 hundred Palestinians are also regretful. But it remains unclear whether armed…

According to multiple newspapers including the BBC, tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians have already fled the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave driven…

Many gangs are arrested and brought to justice each year globally. But social integration steps are…

Tensions have increased in Nagorno-Karabakh with the Azerbaijani armed forces operation called the ”anti-terrorist operation”. According to multiple sources including the BBC, the latest military operation of Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh led to the death of more than twenty including two civilians.

Hopefully, a ceasefire was immediately agreed between the Azerbaijan and Ethnic Armenians under the mediation of Russia, but it remains…
