Editorial: Liberation

• The Israeli Prime Minister has chosen to demonstrate his power, risking provoking a regional war with unpredictable consequences.
• Ignored the possibility of a regional escalation, the international community – led by the United States – tried to dissuade Benjamin Netanyahu.
• We are facing a surge of violence that distances any hope of a political solution in the short or medium term.
• The future of the region is becoming more uncertain, with Israeli retaliatory attacks in Gaza entering its 300 day.
• Regional leaders seem to know only the law of retaliation: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
• The deadly cycle seems to be under the control of no one, not even the United States, which are in the midst of a risky electoral campaign.

Conclusion: The adoption of the law of retaliation by regional leaders and the continuous Israeli retaliatory attacks have led to an increase in violence and an increasingly uncertain future in the region.
