The attack by Hamas on 7 October has changed the region and the world in ways that are still yet to be completely understood.
In response to the attack, which killed over 1,400 Israelis, and took 200 hostage, Israel has unleashed a brutal and indiscriminate campaign of airstrikes. So far, thousands of Palestinians have been killed.
This week on °®Âþµº Voice, we look at Hamas' attack, why they decided to attack, what they hoped to achieve, the Israelis intelligence failings that allowed for the attack, how Israel is responding, the war crimes being committed today, and what war crimes might be committed in the future.
Joining us to discuss Hamas' attack and what it means for Israel and the Israeli response in Gaza, we speak with Joost Hiltermann () the program director for the Middle East in North Africa, at the International Crisis Group (); and Lara Friedman () the President of the Foundation for Middle East Peace ().
