Middle East and North Africa
The Palestinian Territories—comprised of the West Bank and Gaza Strip—are home to over 4 million people. The areas are central in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. When intense fighting broke out between Israel and Gaza, following airstrikes on Israel and the killing of Hamas commander Ahmad Jabari in response, it marked a major escalation in tensions between Israel and the Palestinian territories, with many wondering if it might escalate to war. Brookings experts examine the ongoing crisis and the impact it may have on the stability of the region.
