The “next period” refers to the future political and social landscape that will be shaped by the outcome of the ongoing conflict and the broader struggle over the information environment. This period is defined by the fight currently underway, which involves both the physical and informational dimensions of the conflict, particularly in relation to the Israeli operations against the Palestinian population and the efforts to either sustain or challenge the existing architecture of support for those operations.
The fight that is currently underway includes the efforts of civil society, student movements, and international solidarity networks to expose the realities of the Israeli occupation and its associated operations. These efforts have begun to challenge the long-standing pattern of selective amplification and systematic non-coverage that has shaped Western public perception of the conflict. The outcome of this fight will determine the extent to which the information environment can be reconstructed, and thus, what becomes politically possible in the coming years.
The “next period” is also influenced by the broader geopolitical dynamics, including the role of the United States, the European Union, and other international actors. The response of these entities to the growing visibility of the Palestinian cause and the increasing pressure on institutions that have historically supported Israeli policies will play a crucial role in shaping the next period. The potential for policy shifts, changes in public opinion, and the emergence of new alliances and movements will all contribute to the evolving landscape.
The concept of the “next period” is closely linked to the broader discussion of what becomes politically possible across the next period. This includes the potential for new policies, international interventions, and shifts in the balance of power that could emerge as a result of the ongoing conflict and the efforts to challenge the existing architecture of support for Israeli operations.
