The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is getting worse, which is why there are more strikes. In an attempt to save hostages and maintain the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, President Joe Biden stated on Wednesday that he "did not demand" that Israel postpone a ground invasion of the region.

Israel-Palestine war: Preparing for ground invasion, says Netanyahu

For a president who campaigned on ending “forever wars,” Joe Biden now faces a conflict in Gaza on top of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and rising Sino-U.S. tensions over Taiwan. How he handles these challenges may impact his re-election bid in 2024.

Smaller ground operations into Gaza will continue, according to the Israeli military, which implies that these are steps towards a larger-scale invasion.

<p>Israel's credit outlook has been downgraded to negative by S&amp;P Global Ratings, a decision attributed to the ongoing conflict with Hamas.</p>

<p>According to a report by Bloomberg, S&amp;P's credit assessment affirmed Israel's rating at AA-, the fourth-highest level, but expressed concerns that the war could potentially have a broader and more significant impact on Israel's economy than initially expected.</p>

<p>This move follows similar actions by Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, which placed Israel's debt rating under review for a downgrade and its credit score on negative watch, respectively. Both agencies called the ongoing conflict a reason for concern.</p>

<p>Bloomberg quoted S&amp;P's analysts, Maxim Rybnikov and Karen Vartapetov, as stating, "The Israel-Hamas war could spread more widely or affect Israel's credit metrics more negatively than we expect." The agency's current assumption is that the conflict will remain primarily centered in Gaza and last no more than three to six months.</p>

<p>S&amp;P&nbsp;now anticipates a 5 per cent economic contraction in the fourth quarter, up from their previous projection three months ago. This contraction is attributed to security-related disruptions and reduced business activity. Moreover, the mobilisation of reservists, the suspension of foreign tourism, and a broader loss of economic confidence are expected to weigh on growth in the final months of 2023.</p>
