With an early head start on the yearly festivities, the US Embassy was moved to Jerusalem a day before the start of Ramadan and coinciding Nakba Day tomorrow.
So the semipermanent palestinian tire barbecue on the gaza border takes its place as this year's central flashpoint.
Will this year see a winding down of the sectarian bombathon across the rest of the mideast as Syria wraps up?
Will palestinians attempt a third intifada?
Stay tuned for 30 days of excitement!

At least 55 Palestinians have been killed and more than 2,400 wounded by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip. [today]

This will be flashier than previous years for two reasons imo. It's the 70th anniversary and secondly Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem.

What's the probability this blows up? Well, lets look at recent history:

Second Intifada
(2000–2005)

Second Lebanon War
(2006)

Operation Cast Lead
(2008–2009)

Operation Pillar of Defense
(2012)

Operation Protective Edge
(2014)

So according to the recent trend i think we're due for a flare up.

France says US embassy move violates international law

France disapproves of the US embassy's move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday.
"This decision contravenes international law and in particular the resolutions of the Security Council and the UN General Assembly," the statement reads.

Implying what France says is relevant on a international scale. I mean, it's cute and all how Macron is trying to do his best puffer fish impression but usually what the French have to say about geopolitics largely goes unnoticed.

Yeah going by cyclical trends I'd say we're due, but..
previously intifadas and uprisings have precipitated around single events like Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount, and the US moving its embassy could indeed be such an event, yet the protests in jerusalem proper were completely peaceful and the Gaza border siege can't really go anywhere on its own. If the third intifada was happening, we should be reading about it right now. if palestinians just keep throwing their bodies at the border fence and getting repelled, would that even count? If Israel moves to quell it with an incursion instead of passively sitting on the border, that would make it onto the list.

If the first soft power in the world start to say your country violate international law maybe it's time to get good
