Israel had declared war with threats of making Palestine live with horror history in years to come.

Israel has, accordingly, intensified airstrikes on the stronghold of Hamas in Gaza Strip, and daring Iran to war.

There is, however, emerging apprehension over outburst of World War III, as the developed countries are perceived to be renewing their military alliances between the West and the East of the old order led by the U.S. and Russia.

While the U.S. is perceived to be rebuilding alliance with members of the European Union (EU), Canada, and others, Russia is perceived to be reactivating alliance with China, North Korea, the Arab World, among others.
