The conflict switched to the skies in
November when a bungled Israeli commando
mission inside Gaza erupted into a deadly
gunfight and then the fiercest Palestinian
rocket salvoes and Israeli air strikes since the
2014 war.
The skies fell quiet again as the year drew to
a close, giving way to ceasefires and
mediation efforts, as all sides waited for the
Trump administration to unveil its long-
expected Middle East peace plan.
Jan.4, 2018

Hamas, the militant Islamist group that
controls Gaza, televised images of the
Palestinian dead and wounded, and
Palestinian protesters posted images from
the front lines on social media.
The primary stated purpose of the protests
was to revive a demand by refugees for the
right to return to lands that Palestinians
were driven from or fled when Israel was
founded in 1948. Israel has ruled out any
such right, concerned that the country
would lose its Jewish majority.

But the immediate factor was
Palestinian anger at U.S. President
Donald Trump's decisions on Dec. 6
last year to recognise Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel and to begin
preparations to move its embassy to
the city that is sacred to three of the
great monotheistic faiths: Judaism,
Christianity and Islam.
Trump's move delighted Israel's
government, which regards Jerusalem
as the capital of the Jewish people, but
infuriated Palestinians, who claim East
Jerusalem as the capital of a state they
hope to establish in the Israeli-
occupied West Bank and in Gaza.

The deadliest day of the protests was May 14, when
the new embassy held its opening ceremony. It fell on
a symbolic date for both sides - the 70th anniversary of
the creation of Israel. That is a joyous day for Israelis,
but an event regarded by Palestinians as their
"Nakba" or Catastrophe when they lost their
homeland.

Taking place in a handful of
accessible locations at
prearranged times, the
protests became battlegrounds
of image and spin for both
sides.
The Israeli military published
video footage, pictures and
social media posts in Hebrew,
English and Arabic to support
its message that its forces
were engaged in "riot
dispersal". 24 JUN 2018. KHAN YOUNIS, PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES. REUTERS/MOHAMMED SALEM

The protests pitted thousands of
Palestinian demonstrators
against heavily armed Israeli
soldiers on the other side of the
fortified border fence intent on
stopping the protesters from
crossing or approaching the
frontier.
What became known as the
"Great March of Return"
dominated the headlines for
months, evolving into a
compelling but deadly form of
attritional public spectacle, all
covered by photojournalists
risking their lives to document it.

The border protests continued and morphed into
other forms.
Israelis were angered by another new phenomenon
first seen in 2018 - the Palestinian 'fire kites' and
balloons loaded with petrol bombs by Gaza militants
and sent flying over the border.
Palestinians continued to call for an end to an
Israeli-led blockade on Gaza.

Global attention largely falls on perilous
Mediterranean Sea crossings and the uncertain
fate of the Central American caravan at the
U.S.-Mexico border. But Chile and other
comparatively wealthy Latin American nations
are absorbing another wave of mass migration
from destitute nations in the region like Haiti
and Venezuela.

In the pitch black of the moonless Chilean desert night, the
Cuban man is hard to spot until he is within yards of the
border.
Placing a small backpack of clothes on the ground, Yoniel
Torres, 31, a father of two, puts his hands up as police
approach with flashlights and take him into custody.
"A coyote (people trafficker) left me near (Peruvian border
town) Tacna and told me to follow the old railway line," he
tells Reuters as he is led away. "This is all horrible. The journey
was so hard. I just came in search of a better life."

Javiera Lopez, Arica's chief prosecutor,
says migrants often suffer sexual assault
and robberies on the journey.
"There are scars that might never heal,
not only from the journey but also once
in Chile because they find the situation
is totally different to the one they
thought they would find,” he says.

Some migrants, like Torres, travel
up to 5,600 miles (9,000 km) by air
and land to get as far as Chile. The
country has the highest GDP per
capita in South America, low levels
of corruption and the lowest murder
rate, World Bank and InSight Crime
figures show.
They endure Amazonian humidity
then extreme temperatures and
high altitude in the deserts between
Peru, Bolivia and Chile.
Immigration into Chile has
increased sixfold in less than 30
years, from 114,500 in the 1992
census, to 746,465 last year.

Those who make it to Chile often live a
precarious existence. Haitians,
Dominicans, and Bolivians live cheek
by jowl in tumbledown neighborhoods
like Arica's Cerro Chuno, scraping
together a living working in
restaurants and mines. Racism and job
discrimination is common.
The 29 countries who refused to sign
the UN Migration Pact argue that it
undermines their sovereignty.
"People have a right to leave their
country when they feel it is right,"
Chilean Foreign Minister Roberto
Ampuero told a Senate committee last
week. "But ... they cannot go to any
country they want to."

Scenes like this are replicated every
day along Chile's long land border.
The country is hardening its stance
towards immigration, and refused
to sign a United Nations migration
pact last week aimed at improving
migrant integration and protection.

Nov.18, 2018

There has also been a spike in
illegal migration. In the dusty Arica
region at Peru's southern border,
Chilean police say they caught
more than 2,200 foreigners
attempting to enter the country
illegally between January and
November, up 80 percent from the
previous year.
Guided in many cases by traffickers
paid as much as $3,000, police say,
they cross in remote areas to avoid
border guards, risking a fatal
encounter with landmines planted
on the frontier decades ago on the
orders of former dictator Augusto
Pinochet.
