A lot of things has happened the last 2 months, but I think one of the notable events are the ceasefire deal that happened in Gaza.
For now, the situation is still on edge, but the bombing has finally stopped, and the Palestinians were finalle able to breath for the first time in 2 years. Of course, the humanitarian crisis continues and the situation is still very tragic, but I'm at least glad that the conflict has calmed down, and I hope that it continues to get better and not worse.

I think part of this should be given credit to the many people worldwide who stood for the Palestinians the last 2 years, with protests, strikes, boycotts, etc. For example, around 2 million Italians went on a one day general strike in over 100 cities, after Israel illegally detained and tortured activists from all over the world who carried aid in Global Sumud Flotilla.
I think we're really witnessing the world changing. Now that innternet and social media has enabled us to recieve news from all over the world, people are more aware of the current events happening outside of their own country (such as Gaza, Sudan, Congo, etc.) and are also talking against about the injustices happening across the globe. It's becoming more and more common to be aware about politics and talk about them, when just a few years ago I remember being uncomfortable talking about politics in general from fear of judgement.
Maybe us Gen Z have our own faults, but if one thing that I really like about us, is that we made caring cool again.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
