Editorial: Le Monde

• The fourth visit of US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, to the Middle East suggests a concern over the situation.
• Israel's current plans indicate a tighter control over the Gaza Strip.
• These plans seem to resemble a form of reoccupation without the official tag.
• The far-right within the Israeli government is subtly normalizing the 'transfer' of Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank.
• US President's peace efforts seem less relevant as the conflict could 'metastasize' at any moment.
• The ongoing state of war in Gaza allows Prime Minister Netanyahu to avoid accountability and maintain his hard-right majority.
• A potential return of Donald Trump to power would definitively eliminate the perspective of a political solution.

Conclusion: The only viable option for long-term security of both people groups is a political solution, though currently it seems unreachable.
