๐Ÿ”ฅ Oct 7 Hamas blitz: A conflict that redrew the Middle East map

On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a lightning assault on Israel, igniting a regional firestorm far beyond Gaza.

๐ŸŸ  Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

Hamas unleashed a relentless rocket barrage across Israel โ€” from Dimona to Jerusalem โ€” while fighters stormed key military posts via trucks, motorcycles, and paragliders. Fierce battles erupted in Sderot, Ofakim, and Netivot, with dozens of soldiers and civilians taken hostage along with military equipment.

๐ŸŸ  Israelโ€™s retaliation

Israel declared war with Operation Iron Swords on October 8, regaining control of Gaza-border areas by October 10. Beyond airstrikes, a harsh blockade cut electricity, water, fuel, and aid. Over 12,000 tons of explosives were dropped โ€” comparable, according to Gaza authorities, to Hiroshimaโ€™s atomic bomb.

๐ŸŸ  Iran strikes & escalation

On June 13, 2025, Israel struck Iran, rehashing its claims that it was running a secret nuclear weapons program โ€“ something that the Islamic republic has consistently denied.

Airstrikes and sabotage attacks hit nuclear sites, military commanders, and key scientists, igniting a 12-day confrontation.

Iran retaliated with Operation True Promise III missile strikes.

The US joined the fray on June 22, hitting Iranian nuclear sites, and prompting Iran to strike Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar before vowing to โ€œavoid further escalation.โ€

๐ŸŸ  Ceasefires & Trumpโ€™s Gaza Plan

Over two years, various players tried unsuccessfully to broker an end to the conflict: US, Egyptian, and Qatari-brokered ceasefires with Hamas repeatedly faltered.

Brief truces allowed prisoner swaps, but most collapsed, triggering renewed Israeli bombings, mass displacement, and widespread destruction in Gaza.

US President Donald Trump unveiled his 20-point Gaza Plan on September 29, 2025, during a press conference at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The plan proposed a ceasefire, hostage releases, Israeli withdrawal with a buffer, Palestinian technocratic governance, and dialogue on statehood.

Hamas agreed to release prisoners and transfer Gaza control to a Palestinian technocratic government.

Yet it did not fully endorse the plan regarding disarmament and left several key issues for further negotiations, which still continue.

๐ŸŸ  Global protests & regional allies

Throughout Israelโ€™s assault on Gaza, streets around the world swelled with protest. Demonstrators denounced the bombardment & blockade โ€” and in the US they railed against the administrationโ€™s unwavering support for Israel.

๐ŸŸ  Human toll

From Oct 7, 2023, to Oct 6, 2025, Gaza suffered over 67,000 deaths and 169,000 injuries; Israel lost ~1,200 on October 7, with 1,152 soldiers killed through 2025.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธBorders, battles, and broken deals: The Israelโ€“Palestine peace timeline

From Palestine's partition to countless failed peace attempts, the path to coexistence between Israelis and Arabs has been full of twists and turns:

๐ŸŸ Armistice Agreements 1949

Following the 1947 UN Partition Plan and Israelโ€™s creation, war erupted between Arabs and Jewish settlers.

The 1949 accords between Israel and Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria ended the conflict and set the line dividing Arab lands from Israel.

๐ŸŸ Camp David Accords 1978

After the 1967 Six-Day and 1973 Yom Kippur wars, in which Israel occupied several Arab lands, the US brokered the 1978 Camp David Accords, which led to:

๐Ÿ‘‰an Egypt-Israel peace deal

๐Ÿ‘‰a framework for Palestinian autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza

๐ŸŸ Madrid Conference 1991

Co-chaired by the US and USSR, the 1991 Madrid Conference aimed to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

It brought together delegations from Israel, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and a joint Jordanian-Palestinian team.

๐ŸŸ Oslo Accords 1993 & 1995

The first direct agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

๐Ÿ‘‰Israel accepted the PLO as the representative of the Palestinians

๐Ÿ‘‰The PLO recognized Israelโ€™s right to exist

๐Ÿ‘‰Palestinian Authority was established

๐ŸŸ Camp David Summit 2000

The summit sought a two-state solution but failed over key disputes, especially Jerusalemโ€™s status.

Its collapse was soon followed by the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule.

๐ŸŸ Arab Peace Initiative 2002

Arab League proposed:

๐Ÿ‘‰full Israeli withdrawal from territories occupied in 1967 (West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights)

๐Ÿ‘‰"just settlement" of refugee issue per UN Resolution 194

๐Ÿ‘‰normalized relations with Arab states in exchange

๐ŸŸ Road Map for Peace 2003

It was drafted by the Quartet comprising the UN, Russia, the US, and the EU. The plan envisaged negotiations leading to a permanent-status agreement. Its ultimate goal was a two-state solution.

๐ŸŸ Sharm El Sheikh Summit 2005

Hosted by Egypt and Jordan, the summit brought together PNA President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli PM Ariel Sharon.

It reaffirmed commitment to the Quartetโ€™s Road Map for Peace, temporarily reduced violence, but brought no resolution to core issues.

๐ŸŸ Trump Peace Plan 2020

The proposal recognized Israel as a Jewish state, endorsed a conditional Palestinian state, and accepted Jerusalem as Israelโ€™s capital while requiring Palestine to be demilitarized.

Palestinian leaders rejected it as overly favorable to Israel.

๐ŸŸ Trump Peace Plan 2025

It envisages 20 steps to end the Gaza war, including a ceasefire, hostage return, dismantling Hamas, and transitional Gaza governance.

It acknowledged Palestinian statehood hopes but offered no firm guarantees. Talks are ongoing.
