The ongoing conflict in Gaza, marked by Israeli airstrikes and continued violence despite a ceasefire, contributes to regional instability. This could lead to increased risk premiums for investments in the Middle East and potentially impact global oil prices due to the involvement of Iran.

Event Summary

An Israeli airstrike in Palestine===Gaza City killed at least two Palestinians, marking the deadliest incident since Israel and the United States launched a military campaign against Iran a week prior. The attack occurred near Al-Azhar University of Gaza, injuring several others. This incident highlights the continued violence in the region, despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that began last October. Both sides have blamed each other for violations of the truce. Since October, at least 640 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, while Israel reports four soldiers killed by militants in Gaza. The conflict was sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which resulted in 1,200 deaths and over 250 hostages taken.
