这一问题真切:加沙地带的冲突和乌克兰战争是否可能演变成世界大战？

In my opinion, yes. And all of this because individual states that are not satisfied with something will not hesitate to use weapons. We will probably hear a little more about attacks by North Korea on South Korea.

Maybe the Bible explains it best: https://www.jw.org/pl/biblioteka/serie/wiecej-tematow/czy-armagedon-zacznie-izrael-biblia/

... Well, then ... Will Armageddon start in Israel? What does the Bible say about it?

The Bible describes Armageddon not as a local conflict, but as a global war between all human governments and God.

"The expressions inspired by the demons (...) go to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God the Almighty. These expressions inspired gathered the kings together at the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon" (Revelation 16:14, 16).

The word "Armageddon" comes from the Hebrew phrase Har Megiddòn, which means "mountain of Megiddo". Megiddo was a city in ancient Israel. Because of this, some believe that Armageddon will take place in Israel. However, neither the vicinity of Megiddo nor any other area in the Middle East is large enough to accommodate the "kings of the whole earth" and their armies.

The book of Revelation was written "in signs," or in symbolic language (Revelation 1:1). Therefore, Armageddon does not refer to a literal place, but to a global situation when nations gather together to make one final stand against the power of God (Revelation 19:11-16, 19-21).

The Bible assures that God will not allow the earth to be destroyed. To learn more, see the article "Will the earth be destroyed?"

Although diplomatic services and political experts do not exclude such a scenario, it is unlikely that the conflict in the Gaza Strip and the war in Ukraine would turn into a world war. There are several factors that speak for this low probability. Firstly, both situations are of a local nature. Conflicts in the Gaza Strip mainly revolve around Israel and Palestine, and the war in Ukraine is limited to Ukrainian territory and is being conducted by the Ukrainian side and eastern separatists. Furthermore, the international community, including the United Nations, is making efforts to resolve these conflicts through diplomacy and negotiations. A series of international talks and agreements, such as ceasefires, aim to end the fighting and tension. However, the durability and effectiveness of these agreements depend on the will and determination of the parties involved in the conflict. Finally, most countries in the world strive to maintain peace and stability. Modern means of communication and information flow enable rapid international intervention and cooperation in case of a deteriorating situation. Examples of such cooperation include imposing sanctions on the aggressor, deploying peacekeeping missions, or humanitarian interventions. These measures aim to prevent the escalation of the conflict and minimize losses for all parties involved. Although it is not possible to rule out the risk that the conflict in the Gaza Strip or the war in Ukraine could affect international relations, the chances of them turning into a world war are definitely small. Provided that the international community reacts appropriately and strives to resolve conflicts peacefully, there is hope to avoid such bloody consequences.

I am a moderate optimist, I believe that the conflict in Gaza will remain limited to Palestinian territories. neighboring countries will not escalate the conflict because they will be afraid of it spreading to their own territories and losing control over it. Of course, Hamas must face "punishment" for its audacity (at the expense of Palestinians). Various incidents will occur because no one is able to control all kinds of militants. But a full-scale war is a serious matter, especially with a player like Israel.

Yes and no. Generally, these are conflicts involving more than just these 4 countries. The question remains, how will the main players play it out?
