Amid Israel's 'forever wars', Palestinians must not abandon the one-state solution

Since the declaration of the so-called ceasefire between Hamas and Israel in October 2025 - violated more than 2,000 times - and more dramatically since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran on 28 February, Palestine has been actively displaced from the centre of global attention.

When the US and Iran announced a two-week truce on 8 April, Israel simultaneously launched its largest wave of strikes on Lebanon, killing at least 303 people. In Gaza, it had bombed the Strip on 36 of the previous 40 days, killing at least 736 Palestinians since the October ceasefire alone.

That same day, the UN Commission of Inquiry warned that the war on Iran had "eclipsed" a surge in human rights violations against Palestinians.

This is the result of a deliberate process of political reframing by its rogue architects, who presented their violent militarism across the region as a fight against nuclear proliferation and the defence of international order. Yet this framing masks its real function: a wider imperial strategy aimed at restructuring the region and consolidating the Israeli genocidal regime as its hegemon.
