Tensions ‘beginning to boil’ in Gaza
BY S TEVE H ENDRIX

A as fears of a new conflict mount

s Palestinians in the nearby
West Bank have endured
their deadliest year in dec-
ades, it has been a rare summer of
quiet in the Gaza Strip. Raed asad
hoped he could finally secure a
permit to work on an israeli farm
or construction site.
But in late august, israel put a
halt to new work permits — accus-
ing Hamas, the islamist militant
group that governs this blockad-
ed territory, of being behind ter-
rorist attacks in the West Bank.
Hamas and israel traded familiar
threats. in Gaza’s latest lurch be-
tween calm and chaos, asad saw
his long-shot chance vanish.
“Getting [a work permit] was
my only light of hope,” asad, 30,
said on a recent day as he cleared
fallen leaves from a fruit orchard
for a few shekels. the unem-
ployed father of three has a de-
gree in medical administration
but has only ever found work in
the fields.
Fears of another military esca-
lation have continued to build
this month. On Sept. 4, after is-
raeli border agents found what
they said was a cache of explosive
materials being smuggled into
the country in a shipment of blue
jeans, officials shut down all ex-
ports from Gaza.
neither side wants to return to
a full military confrontation, se-
curity experts said, but both need
to demonstrate resolve to appease
hard-liners. in Gaza, the next war
never feels far off.
Hamas put its forces on high
alert recently, stopping cars near
the border to check for israeli
infiltrators. the group held field
exercises last week with islamic
Jihad and other armed factions,
conducting drills on rocket
launches, kidnapping soldiers
and “storming settlements,” ac-
cording to local Gazan media.

That $1.50
slice of pizza
is never going
to be $1 again
P
eople sometimes ask me when
prices are going to “come back
down” to what they were pre-
pandemic. I hate to say it, but
the short answer is: probably never.
For example, if a slice at your local
pizza joint cost a buck back in 2019 and
it’s $1.50 today, it’s likely never going
back, even if “99¢ PIZZA” is still literally
emblazoned on the eatery’s awning. The
nation’s premier pizza-inflation-fight-
ing agency, the Federal Reserve, is not
really trying to get prices to fall. The Fed
wants prices to grow a little less quickly
than has been the case in recent years,

Zelensky,

BY P ETER M ARKS
You may have read of Ukraini-

Biden at the White House. But he
has already been appearing

a stage with a prickly old lady in

AI-aided accessibility in “My
Mama & the Full-scale Invasion”
at Woolly Mammoth Theatre,
sasha Denisova’s sassy world
premiere comedy about the pow-
er of mothers to make the world
safe. Or at least, the way we wish
they could. The play is an irrever-
ent yet affectionate portrait of
the dramatist’s own mother, a
bombastic city dweller who re-
fuses to let a little thing like a
Russian missile dislodge her. In
that sense, it is a study in the
wonderful absurdity of a stub-
bornly resistant woman under

The great gift bestowed on
Denisova and director Yury Urn-
ov is that Mama is played by
Holly Twyford, who again gets
