In January, critical decisions will be made impacting Israel and the ongoing conflict with Hamas, particularly as Donald Trump prepares for his second inauguration. Trump has issued dire warnings to Hamas regarding hostages, while his previous rapport with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raises questions about future U.S.-Israel relations. A fragile ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon is also at stake, with analysts urging Israel to capitalize on this period. Additionally, the potential cessation of UNRWA operations will have significant implications for Palestinian refugees in Gaza and the West Bank.
