How the Israel-Hamas War Is Reshaping the Middle East
VIDEO
DESCRIPTION
Hamas’s attack on October 7 shocked the world and upended the status quo in the Middle East. Two months into Israel’s war against Hamas, much remains unclear. What is Israel’s endgame in the Gaza Strip? Who can govern Gaza when the fighting ends? How have Hamas’s attack and Israel’s response reshaped the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? How high are the risks of escalation and what will the conflict mean for the region?
Foreign Affairs Editor Daniel Kurtz-Phelan marks the launch of the January/February 2024 issue with a discussion of these questions with Lisa Anderson, Salam Fayyad, and Amos Yadlin.
