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.

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.

Can Donald Trump force a ceasefire in Gaza? With Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, heading to the White House, Mr Trump is hoping to announce an end to the war. Our deputy editor, Ed Carr, explains why it will depend on three factors.

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.

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

On October 7, 2023, a Hamas-led terrorist attack in Israel killed 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped about 250 others. The almost immediate spread of news and images of the attack produced heavy emotional reactions in public opinion in many countries. The article analyzes data from a representative survey on the attitudes toward Jews and Muslims of Italian undergraduates conducted between late September and late October 2023, encompassing both those dramatic events and the war that followed. Four main findings emerge. First, Italian students tend to organize attitudes towards Jews around three main dimensions, those toward Muslims around one. Second, attitudes towards the two groups vary according to cultural values of reference, commitment to study, and political orientation. Third, negative attitudes towards Muslims are more prevalent than those toward Jews, but this difference narrows between center-left and left-leaning students and, in some cases, reverses. Finally, the analysis shows that one of the dimensions organizing unfavourable attitudes towards Jews experienced very substantial growth on the days immediately following October 7, that is, the date of the Hamas terrorist attack inside Israeli territory.
