A Year After the October 7 Start of the Israel-Hamas Conflict: Q&A with RAND Experts
One year ago on October 7, Hamas fighters poured across the Gaza border in an attack that left 1,200 Israelis dead. By the end of September 2024, Israel's counterattack into Gaza had killed more than 41,000. The Middle East seems to be on the verge of a broader conflict following Israel's offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran's missile attack on Israel. The conflict has highlighted a complex web of strategic, geopolitical, and humanitarian challenges. In this Q&A, RAND experts delve into the regional and global implications of the conflict, the factors that led to it, and where it could be headed. They also explore the geopolitical fallout, including shifts in U.S. foreign policy and the evolving dynamics between Israel and its neighbours.
