The Tectonic Shudder of October 7, 2023 in the Middle East

Meer over het boek

The book examines the stark contrast between the portrayal of the October 7 massacre by Hamas and the broader implications of the Gaza War, revealing it as a significant geopolitical conflict rather than a localized dispute. It highlights the involvement of global powers, with Iran and its allies on one side and the U.S. and select Western nations on the other, influenced by domestic pressures. The author, Raphael Israeli, brings extensive expertise in Islamic and Middle Eastern history, having taught at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and authored numerous works.
