BDS supporters have shifted to a new strategy, a โ€œde-localizingโ€ of the Palestinian cause via attacks on Israelโ€™s cybersecurity industry. Their aim is to universalize an image of Israel as a facilitator of global rights abuses. This approach does not require adherents to support the Palestinian cause to gain momentum.

For Recep Tayyip ErdoฤŸan, the primary reason for peace in the Aegean has been the threat of further Western sanctions amid Turkeyโ€™s ongoing economic descent.
