As the world looks on in horror at the renewal of intense violence between Hamas and Israel, Gazans are engulfed by a humanitarian and security crisis that shows no signs of abating.

    Psychological coercion is a powerful and often insidious form of manipulation designed to force an individual to act against their will or better judgment. It involves the use of mental and emotional tactics to instill fear, guilt, or pressure, making the person feel compelled to comply with demands or expectations. While it does not rely on physical force, the impact of psychological coercion can be just as damaging, if not more so, as it leaves lasting emotional scars that can affect an individual’s sense of self-worth, autonomy, and mental health. 
    At its core, psychological coercion undermines a person’s ability to make decisions freely. It exploits their vulnerabilities—whether emotional, psychological, or social—in order to gain control or influence their behavior. This form of coercion can take many different shapes, including threats, isolation, intimidation, manipulation, or subtle forms of pressure. While the methods may vary, the common thread is the intentional use of mental and emotional tactics to manipulate or control another person’s actions. 
    Psychological coercion is distinct from other forms of persuasion because it involves the use of power and control to manipulate an individual into compliance. In many cases, the person being coerced may not even recognize the pressure being applied to them. This is due to the subtlety with which coercion often operates—it can take place in everyday interactions, with the perpetrator using psychological manipulation in a way that may seem harmless or even caring at first. Over time, however, the individual being manipulated becomes increasingly susceptible to the influence of the coercer, often leading to a loss of personal agency and a sense of powerlessness.
