Did Hamas just secure the palestinians a state? Will Hamas get their way even if militarily defeated by Israel? The 7 best books to understand the conflict in it`s entirety.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza that started after Hamas decided to launch a reckless attack on Israel in which resulted in the death of 1200 people, have been a source of concern for many and the world is observing the situation very closely on the ground with the palestinian death toll to now have exceeded 15 000 people. But despite the violence, there are reasons to believe that the future of a Palestinian state is closer than ever. One of the main reasons for this is the growing international light and renewed support for palestinian statehood. According to more voices around the world and stronger global powers who have become involved, the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state based on sound negotiations between all parties seems to be the only sustainable solution for Israel and the Palestinians but also to dampen the risk of another great war that could pull in larger regional players in the middle east. The Palestinians are at a crucial moment in their history. How the Palestinians and their leaders respond to these challenges in the coming months and years will have a profound impact on the future of the Palestinian National Movement as a whole.

Additionally, the recent normalization of relations between Israel and several Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and the ongoing negotioations with Saudi Arabia has created new opportunities for peace and cooperation in the region, something that israel for it`s long term survival needs and the arabs states for their own development yearns.

As for Iran’s reaction to a potential defeat of its allies in Gaza, it is difficult to say for certain. However, it is likely that Iran would seek to increase its support for other militant groups in the region, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon or the houthis in Yemen. This could lead to further instability and conflict in the Middle East.

But one question remains for Israel to answer:

How did Hamas, which is an isolated and surrounded militia in the Gaza strip manage to plan such a massive operation and conduct it from land, sea and air without being detected by Israel’s intelligence services which is considered to be the most hightech in the world?

There is a claim to be made here, that whatever you think of the Hamas attack on Israel on the 7th of october or however brutal the attack may have been, it is now obvious that this very calculated mayheam may just have secured the palestinians their future state.
