The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas is expected to intensify in 2024, according to a recent report. The Israeli military's goal is to destroy Hamas, demilitarize Gaza, and deradicalize Palestinian society. The conflict has already caused immense destruction and death, with a significant number of civilian casualties. In addition to the Israel-Hamas conflict, other deadly hostilities are taking place in Ukraine and the Philippines.
In Ukraine, the Russian military has been unable to crush the defending forces, and the Ukrainian government is preparing for a protracted war with Russia. The conflict has been ongoing, and the report suggests that it will continue to escalate in the coming year.
In the Philippines, there are deadly hostilities between the Philippine Army and the New People's Army (NPA). The Army recently launched a military operation against an NPA camp, despite the NPA's announcement of a unilateral ceasefire. Peace talks between the government and the NDFP have not yet resumed.
These conflicts highlight the ongoing violence and instability in various regions around the world. The report emphasizes the need for diplomatic efforts and peace talks to resolve these conflicts and prevent further loss of life and destruction.
