The Hamas massacre of 7 October 2023 marked a turning point in recent Israeli–Palestinian and Israeli–Arab relations. It not only resulted in aerial bombardment and a ground invasion of the Israeli army into the Gaza Strip, but has also impacted the wider Arab and Middle Eastern region and the already difficult relationships many of these countries have with both Israel and the Palestinian people.
Six months after the 7 October attack, this GIGA Forum discusses the regional implications of the Gaza War for Israel’s and Palestine’s immediate neighbours – Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon – and influential regional powers such as Saudi Arabia and Iran. Is the Gaza War the beginning of a full-blown regional war, or is there hope for de-escalation and long-term peace in the region?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
