Well, you forgot to mention the gas and oil field that UK companies and Shell would love to have access to.
With gas coming from Russia is not a sustainable option, this gas field is what they really want.
“Energy Ministry says a total of 12 licenses have been given to six companies, four of which are new players in the exploration of natural gas off the country’s Mediterranean coast”
This is not “Isreal vs Hamas” or “Jews vs Muslims” or as some would love to say is a “historical religious war”
This is US and UK companies vs indigenous people masked by layers of “confusion” but their ultimate goal is greed.
The more you look for news it becomes clear what the goals are.
Here are some headlines:
2019 November: Cyprus signs $9 billion gas extraction deal with Israel’s Delek, other firms
2023 February: Israel exports crude oil for first time, with shipment heading for Europe
2023 February: Lebanon and Israel’s historic maritime border deal
P.S. this to allow gas exploration…
P.S Lebanon government controlled hizballh and Iran.
2023 March: Israel’s Offshore Gas Attracts Foreign Energy Giants
2023 September: Benjamin Netanyahu holds his map of the “The New Middle East” as he addresses the U.N. General Assembly
P.S. “Netanyahu took out his red marker and drew a diagonal line from Dubai along the Persian Gulf, through Israel and toward the ports of southern Europe. He hailed the supposed advent of a “corridor” of prosperity that threaded together these Arab countries and Israel at the heart of a new axis of global trade connecting Asia to Europe.”
2023 October: Netanyahu says Israel’s response to Gaza attack will ‘change the Middle East’
While the conflict seeems a bit confusing looking into it from US imperialist poont view things make sense.
There are four powers that would stop this exploration.
Sadam Iraq, most likely, will attack Isreal and claim it a religious war to have access to this new wealth.
I’ve struggled to understand why civilians on either side have wanted to continue residing in that specific zone after decades of clashes/violence. I know it’s not as simple as just uprooting your family to move elsewhere, but as a parent I know I’d rather any other option than living in constant fear of unbridled violence erupting at any moment in a highly volatile area.
Well, a part of it is that the people of Gaza are not allowed to leave.
There are only a handful of crossings out of Gaza and Israel controls all but one. The Egyptian crossing leads out into a desolate desert with no services.
Want to hop on a boat and flee that way? Israel will torpedo you. Want to walk up to the wall to see the boundary of your prison? Israel will machine gun you down, no questions asked, no warnings given.
A large portion of the population of Gaza started out as refugees, forced out of their homes and off of their land so that Zionist settlers could have it.
Even given the option, most if not all will choose to not leave. Since 48 the Palestinians have been chanting “from the river to the sea” and not taking lots of peace treaties offered by Israel and other nations, based on the premise that they’ll stay in their current 67 border.
Not to mention lots of Jews also don’t wanna live in a non-jewish state of fear of prosecution, pogroms and antisemitism, which you can see examples of happening right now in Europe.
An Israeli I know was given benefits from the government to settle near that area. Luckily he went to his in laws house the second the war started. But the government paying people to live there might have something to do with it

This happens last week.
Literally last week October 27.
Is it fake news? Well the one reported this is “Times of Israel” https://www.timesofisrael.com/amid-ongoing-war-bp-and-eni-among-firms-awarded-gas-exploration-licenses-in-israel/
How much money in there? UN published a report in 2021 June estimated value for the last 10 years to be around 400 billion.

Qaddafi Libya, he was already in dispute with turkey over gas in the area https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/02/gaddafis-prophecy-comes-true-as-foreign-powers-battle-for-libyas-oil
Syria as Russia allies will never leave a piece of the cake either directly or throu distablization in the region. This cut russia market to eroupe.
And finally, the indigenous people of the land…
Oh for fucks sake. I wish we’d transitioned to renewable, maybe even nuclear, a lot sooner.
How many future doctors, writers, craftsmen and families have been lost in the wind, all for that damnable black gold

The photos on Google Maps you shared look pretty desolate…
