Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting the United States next week to meet with President Donald Trump and other top officials in the U.S. administration, supposedly to "capitalize on the success" of the 12-day war against Iran. This comes after nearly 21 months of Israel's war on Gaza that has killed at least 56,000 Palestinians, with daily violence only increasing. "There's basically an airstrike every other minute," says Palestinian writer and analyst Muhammad Shehada. "There's nonstop artillery fire, gunfire, machine gunfire, as well as Israeli quadcopter drones that are swarming Gaza and shooting people at random." While there have been news reports of a possible ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Shehada says "there are no negotiations," and therefore no end in sight to the daily bloodshed.
