Hamas Raids Israel: The Disintegration of the Geopolitical Makeup of the Middle East

It so happened that Hamas’ raid on Israeli cities and towns on October 7 was the day the United States of America launched its war on Afghanistan in 2001 after Al Qaeda’s “invasions of New York and Washington” (as per the Islamist narrative), led by Osama bin Laden on September 11, 2001.

We will inquire into whether the consequences of Hamas’ raid of Israeli cities will match those of “the invasions of New York and Washington.”

What first comes to the mind of political observers as a consequence of Al Qaeda’s attacks on American soil is the United States’ invasion and occupation of Afghanistan for 20 years (2001-2021). Also comes to mind the invasion of Iraq, the ousting of President Saddam Hussein, and the dismantling of the then-ruling Ba’ath Party and the state military, political, and security apparatuses.
