Introduction

There are many fights in the Middle East. The US and Iran are also angry and do not speak.

Main Body

Israel and Hezbollah are fighting in Lebanon. Israel took some land to stop Hezbollah. Hezbollah uses small flying robots to attack. In Gaza, many people are hurt because of the fighting. President Trump and Iran do not agree. Iran wanted their money back and wanted to sell oil. Trump said no to this plan. Now, many countries are buying energy from different places. Countries in Europe are now working together. They want to punish bad people from Hamas and Israeli settlers. Hungary changed its leader, so now Europe can agree on these rules.

Conclusion

The area is still dangerous. People hope for a peace meeting on May 14 and 15.
