From what I can gather this conflict as been going on a long time and the Hamas group has existed for a while too. Why are all the news cycles suddenly focusing on this the past few weeks?

    There’s no doubt that Russia are backing Hamas and doing so mainly to divert resources and attention away from Ukraine.

    At the same time, the war in Ukraine is slowing down while the situation in Israel/Palestine has rapidly escalated.

      Nothing is slowing down. But yes, it’s ramping up elsewhere as a distraction
