ON OCTOBER 7, 2023, WE ARE EXPERIENCED THE 1ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOVEMENT CALLED AL-AQSA FLOOD BY HAMAS

Dr. Hüseyin Kami BÜYÜKÖZER

Operation Aqsa Flood by Hamas and Operation Iron Swords by Israel is a war that began on October 7, 2023 with the large-scale jihad of Hamas’ armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, throughout Israel.

In the year that has passed since October 7, 2023, when the Israel-Hamas war reached a new dimension, the Middle East has once again come to the brink of all-out war. When we analyze what has happened in a year on the anniversary of the October 7 attacks, when the war entered a new threshold, millions of people who wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life without savagery and pain in the Middle East have moved even further away from these dreams in a year.

The years of war have shown that this longing of the people cannot be realized without closing the deep political, strategic and religious fault lines. This war shows once again that Middle East peace can be accompanied by a radical solution.

Hamas’ jihad on October 7 broke out as a result of centuries-old conflicts that were left unresolved with a one-sided understanding. Hamas jihadists who crossed Israel’s heavily guarded borders and killed 1,200 people made the Israelis experience one of the greatest tragedies in their recent history. Israel interpreted Hamas’ jihad as “an attack on its existence”. While it is driving itself into isolation in the face of its wild attacks left and right with this understanding, it is bringing closer a day when the Muslim and the people of the world who oppose Israel will intervene and unite.
