Israel, Hamas, and the World

In the aftermath of the barbaric attacks of 7 October, the news media was awash in coverage, but most were hyper-focused on the events on the ground. The international and Fletcher communities justifiably spent a good deal of time examining all aspects of the conflict itself. However, at this pivotal time in world politics, the impacts of the ongoing war are likely to have effects well beyond Israel or even the Middle East. It was clear that the implications of this attack would have far- reaching consequences on evolving concepts of international order, international law, and human security. Consequently, Center for Strategic Studies organized a public event, bringing together several Fletcher-based centers to share their perspectives regarding how the fallout from the attack would change the world.
