On October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked Israel and Israel retaliated. This video takes a look back at the past 12 months of warfare.

Is Israel still a sovereign nation, given its increased dependence on the United States? On a recent episode of “The Ezra Klein Show,” veteran Middle East negotiators Hussein Agha and Robert Malley sit down with the Times Opinion columnist Ezra Klein to discuss the recent peace deal and what comes next.

Aim: The aim of this study is to explore the background and interpretation of Interpol’s silence following the terrorist attacks committed by Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023. The author examines the international policing implications of the events, with special attention to why the world’s largest police organization failed to issue any substantive response. Methodology: The research is based on a sociological analysis combining a historical and institutional overview of Interpol’s counterterrorism activities with the examination of the organization’s communications and institutional decisions. It relies on qualitative sources and an interpretive, case study-based approach using public documents, records, and statements. Findings: The study finds that Interpol has gradually retreated from actively addressing terrorism over the past decade, and that its complete silence regarding the October 7, 2023 attacks is particularly striking. This inaction not only contrasts with the organization’s earlier practices, but also raises questions about political pressure, professional autonomy, and the integrity of the organization’s neutrality. Value: The study contributes to a better understanding of the political and institutional characteristics of international police cooperation and offers new perspectives for critically evaluating Interpol’s role in the global fight against terrorism. The author highlights that the organization’s apparent neutrality often conceals underlying political and geopolitical considerations.

Following pressure from President Donald Trump, Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has been strong-armed into a Gaza peace deal. Our Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom considers whether Hamas will agree to the deal.

Israel is losing support in America. Polling by The Economist reveals a bipartisan shift, as both Democrats and Republicans question the relationship.

The first phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is supposed to end on Saturday and negotiations to extend it to a second phase are now at a standstill. During the pause in fighting, some 600,000 Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza. News Hour videographer Shams Odeh documented some of their stories as they seek to pry normality from destruction.

The death toll in Gaza may be higher than reported. New research suggests tens of thousands of people may be missing from the official count.

From Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza to Hamas’s disarmament and what happens next, big questions remain about how the deal will hold.

There was an unprecedented mobilization by the Israeli public in support of the war effort following the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas. Utilizing various definitions of social movements, the discussion explores the idea of characterizing this form of organization as a social movement. Employing tools from the cultural approach to social movements, the subsequent analysis focuses primarily on collective identity and emotions within social movements as key elements in understanding this movement. Based on an examination of coverage in the media and on social networks, it is argued that the Jewish narrative of the ‘persecuted people,’ which has had a dominant role in shaping the collective identity of ‘being an Israeli’, has also shaped the emotional response of Israelis to the atrocities. The sense of abandonment, fear, a desire for retribution, and most notably profound patriotism, coupled with chauvinistic nationalism, have collectively contributed to the massive recruitment of the public to the war effort.
