The Arab-Israeli military conflicts of recent decades have yielded varying economic effects: in 2006, the conflict triggered a sharp spike in oil prices, while in 2014, it had minimal impact on the economy. As it stands, the Israeli Central Bank is forecasting a slowdown in the country's growth from 3% to 2.3%. However, it is still unclear what the international consequences of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip, which could draw neighbouring states into the conflict, might be.

In early autumn, against the backdrop of elections in Bavaria, Slovakia, and Poland, there was a surge in the spread of pro-Russian disinformation narratives across European media. A peculiar fake story gained widespread circulation, claiming that the war in Ukraine was almost over, with the Ukrainian army suffering a concealed defeat. Western policymakers and mainstream media, it was alleged, were hiding this information in order to continue collecting aid for Ukraine.
