Recent events in the Middle East have sparked concerns about a potential rise in violence in the region. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Hamas recently met and requested the resumption of the Intifada and a rise in anti-Israel sentiment.

Anti-Israel sentiments were the primary focus at the meeting between Hamas and the Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine. This event is somewhat a precursor to the rise in terrorist activities in the region, thereby threatening the stability of the region. 

The deadly situation is brought to light in Palestinian refugee camps like Ain al-Hilweh, where discussions on stabilizing the cease-fire have little to no effects. The unpredictability of this region is what makes it all the more difficult to arrive at sustainable solutions in the vulnerable region.

The deputy head of Hamas, Saleh al-Arouri, recently warned of regional conflict with Israel. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a harsh warning. Hamas’ commitment to anti-Israel sentiments makes it difficult to find peaceful solutions to the problems in the region.
