Geopolitical Impact of Israel-Palestine Conflict in the Context of Recent Updates

-

 Greetings to all listeners and readers!!

The Israel-Palestine conflict is more than a century old with complexities and convolutions. Today we won't discuss the history and the basics of the conflict rather stick to the present with recent updates we have received. On 7th October Hamas infiltrated the Israeli territory and sent thousands of rockets on cities in the country. Israel retaliated with airstrikes, direct confrontation among many options. This has created widespread anger and fear across the world. Hence we will see a massive impact which will be discussed in the episode.

Summary of the podcast 

Such information and complicated topics aren’t often talked about, because they are believed hard to crack and don't address the basics. But, through our podcasts, we disprove this misconception that these cannot be understood by common people. We explain in simple terms various subtopics under this vast topic in the form of conversational and discussion styles. Everything is easy to follow and understandable in the episode. In addition, we provide tons of references and reading materials for self-study purposes. 

In 1973, during the festival of Yom Kippur, the month of October, Syria and Egypt jointly made a surprise attack on Israel. Exactly 50 years after the same, Hamas made a surprise attack on Israeli cities, firing rockets and through ground incursions. A lot of Israelis, Palestinians, and Foreign nationals.

Hamas fired more than 5000 rockets and Israel dropped 4000 tonnes worth of bombs in Gaza. With Israel calling for a full-scale invasion in Gaza, the situation will be unprecedented which will demand a careful and nuanced understanding of the issue. To clear the clutter we have a podcast episode designed for you on the following topics. 

We cover in detail the following topics-
  1. Introduction  
  2. Intelligence and Security failure
  3. Impact of the attacks on the world
  4. Current Geopolitics- IMEC, I2U2, Abraham Accords etc.
  5. Impact on India and Operation Ajay
  6. Discuss the prospective future 
  7. Materials, references, resources, media sources
  8. Conclusion and Resources
