As Israel’s war with Hamas passes the six-month mark, here are some updates:
- The IDF is withdrawing troops from the southern city of Khan Younis; Hamas rejected an Israeli ceasefire proposal and Israel set a date for an offensive into Hamas’s last stronghold in Rafah.
- Israel and the US are preparing for a significant attack by Iran in response to Israel’s strike in Damascus last week.
- Israel is also preparing for a second war on its northern border with Hezbollah.
- Iran is arming fighters in Iraq to join Hezbollah in an attack on Israel.
- The UN recently adopted what Israel’s envoy to the group called the body’s 105th anti-Israel resolution.
Despite all the hardships Israelis are facing these days, Gallup’s recent World Happiness Report lists their country as the fifth-happiest nation on Earth, behind Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden. The US ranks twenty-third.
Why, in the midst of a battle for its very existence, surrounded by enemies on all sides and confronting the escalation of anti-Semitism around the world, are Israelis so happy?
