Violence and unrest over Gaza and Jerusalem. Violence and unrest has flared in May 2021around Gaza and Jerusalem, and has sparked Arab-Jewish rioting in some Israeli cities—partly inconnection with a controversial case about the possible eviction of several Palestinians from theirEast Jerusalem homes. Israel-Gaza violence has escalated to a level not seen since 2014 as theSunni Islamist group Hamas (a U.S.-designated terrorist organization) and other militants firerockets into Israel, and Israel retaliates inside Gaza. Depending on how the tensions escalate orde-escalate, they could have implications for a number of U.S. policy considerations, including aid for Israel and thePalestinians, whether opponents of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu can form a government to replace him, andhow the Biden Administration and Members of Congress might focus on Israeli-Palestinian and related regional issues.
