As I sit here in a kitchen in Vanadzor, Armenia, amidst the joyful chaos of welcoming my new grandson home, my mind is far from celebration. It’s consumed by the harsh realities of war and the disturbing narratives surrounding it.
After nearly two years of brutal fighting, Israel is preparing to fully occupy Gaza, a move it has long been accused of but has, until now, avoided. Since Israel’s withdrawal in 2005, not a single Israeli troop has remained in Gaza until now. The upcoming full-scale occupation will not only reshape the battlefield but redefine what Israel is willing to do to end the cycle of terror.
