On Saturday October 7, 2023, two Iranian- backed terrorist associations grounded in the Gaza Strip — Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad( PIJ) — foisted the most murderous attack suffered by the State of Israel since its founding in May 1948.
Over 1200 Israelis, overwhelmingly civilians, were boggled, 3000 wounded, and roughly 150 abducted into Gaza, to be used as mortal securities and logrolling chips. The attacks also involved inenarrable acts of sexual violence and infanticide. Retaliatory Israeli air strikes have killed over 800 Gazans so far.
The conflict pitfalls raising to an each- out indigenous battle, involving several other Iranian delegates( most specially Hezbollah in Lebanon) and indeed a direct Iran- Israel war. This could have ruinous and transformative counteraccusations for the Middle East,U.S. foreign policy, and the entire transnational system. What led to the events of October 7? How was Israel caught so fully off guard? Did Iran order the attack? What are the possible scripts for the conflict? And what can the Biden Administration do?
