Israel's response: sealing off the Gaza Strip and a comprehensive military operation with catastrophic humanitarian consequences and countless dead Palestinians.
Muriel Asseburg analyzes the events in their historical context and sheds light on the far-reaching interdependencies between the actors in the region. The Gaza war not only affects Israel and Palestine, but also exacerbates tensions beyond - from the West Bank to Iran. She also includes international attempts at mediation, for example by the USA.
With empathy and precise analysis, Asseburg shows how the war has developed since October 7 and which dynamics continue to fuel the Middle East conflict. A book for anyone who wants to better understand the situation on the ground and its global impact.
