Israeli tactical wins in a strategic labyrinth

• Before October 7, 2023, the geopolitical landscape of West Asia featured a sidelined Palestine issue, with significant division among Palestinians between Hamas in Gaza and Fatah in the West Bank.

• Iran, despite its economic struggles, maintained influence through its alliances, while Arab monarchies strengthened ties with Israel, seeing Iran as a threat.

• The U.S. sought to align Arab countries and Israel against Iran, with foundational support from the Abraham Accords and initiatives involving India.

• The Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, which killed approximately 1,200 people, disrupted Israel’s security and diplomatic efforts in the region.

• Israel’s declared war objectives were to eliminate Hamas and rescue hostages, but its broader aim appeared to be diminishing Iran’s influence and solidifying Israel’s dominance.

• Tactical Israeli military successes included damaging Hamas infrastructure and weakening Hezbollah but failed to achieve long-term security or eradicate Hamas, which adapted as an insurgency rooted in Palestinian nationalism.

• The conflict sparked international backlash, with increased global calls for Palestinian statehood and a reevaluation of security by Arab states.

• Israel’s military actions complicated its relationships with key allies, and perceptions shifted from Israel being a stabilizing force to a growing threat.

• Despite military advances, Israel lacks a cohesive end strategy regarding Palestine, struggling with international isolation, ongoing conflict with Hamas, and an unchanged Iranian nuclear program.

• Netanyahu’s ambitions to reshape West Asia appear thwarted, as the region evolves beyond his intended design.
