day later, Israel was jolted once again; showing its unpreparedness for war after the Iran-backed Hamas launched a surprise attack against it. It took only one day for the Israeli Prime Minister to declare it as a \u201cWe are at war\u201d \u2013 not an \u2018operation,\u2019 not a \u2019round,\u2019 but at war\u201d besides questions being raised about his Government.<br>Indeed the wheel of time never stops for anyone and metaphorically it also unfolds completely unthinkable or unfathomable events. Similarly, history also has a peculiar way of repeating itself. It was repeated once again after fifty years plus one day, when the Iran-supported Hamas launched a well-coordinated and bold land, sea and air invasion into the Israeli territory.<br>Fifty years and one day later, Jerusalem was jolted once again as Iran-backed Hamas launched a surprise attack against Israel. The fighting is still on going, and the number of casualties is rising, but political statements calling for a unity government in Israel are already being heard.<br>In addition, just within a day of the onslaught, the western media was replete with analyses and comments comparing the 6th October 2023 onslaught with the Yom Kippur War (also known as the Ramadan War, the October War, the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, or the Fourth Arab-Israeli War) and drawing parallels with Palestinians not honouring the Yom Kippur Day of the Holy Month of Ramadan in 1973 and timing of the attack this time with the joyous celebration of the Torah, which marks the concluding holiday of the Feast of Tabernacles.<br>These articles claim that in both cases, the enemy (Palestinians and Arabs) chose one of God\u2019s appointed holidays for the assault; a time when people are typically enjoying the festivities with their families, so most of the Israeli and western newspapers described the attacks as inhuman.<br>They further tried to justify the supposed Israeli unpreparedness saying that religious and traditional Jews gather in synagogues for prayer, where they are forbidden to bear arms, and their electronic devices, television and radio are turned off. Public transportation is halted, and communication with reservists and their mobilisation becomes problematic.<br>But additionally, we also have to realise that not every Arab Muslim child is aware or is made aware repeatedly about the Yom Kippur War, unlike Israeli children who from a young age are taught and their brains instilled with hatred towards the Arabs.<br>Instead the common Arab, or for that matter, every Muslim is more concerned with the Israeli repression in the in the occupied territories, besides their hostile attitude to the faithful visiting the Al Aqsa mosque for prayers. How the fully armed and heavily reinforced Israeli soldiers treat the common Palestinians and faithful from elsewhere, everyone knows.<br>In just two days videos of Israelis kidnapped by Hamas gained huge traction on various social media platforms, and their traction completely outruns the traction, which the video of a deaf Palestinian girl being mistreated by Israeli soldiers is getting.<br>At the political level, the attacks also immediately led to calls from the opposition to exclude cooperation with far-right parties that are part of the Netanyahu government. Suddenly, a country that was badly divided over Netanyahu\u2019s judicial reforms reunited in the wake of the attacks. Yair Lapid has now called for an emergency unity government, one without Ben-Gvir and other extremist ministers, and Netanyahu seems amenable.<br>At international level, except Iran and PLA President lauding the attack, most of the so-called Islamic nations and organisations have used the diplomatique route and have urged for caution and restraint by both the parties.<br>An adviser to Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on 7th October congratulated Palestinian fighters, the semi-official ISNA news site reported. \u201cWe will stand by the Palestinian fighters until the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem,\u201d it quoted Yahya Rahim Safavi as saying.<br>This cautious attitude is perhaps due to the fact that after the signing of the Abrahams Accord, most of the Arab nations have shown their inclination to normalise their diplomatic relations and off course trade relations with Israel, including Saudi Arabia and UAE.<br>Meanwhile, the litmus test is for the Biden administration. As now U.S. might be forced to directly engage in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, working to ensure that regional stability can be restored, to keep the normalisation process started between Arabs and Israel at its behest on the tracks.<br>Additionally, the question uppermost in everyone\u2019s mind is how the current conflict will impact the middle-eastern politics and what transformation the relations between the U.S. and various Arab states may takes place and how the international community is going to respond to Iran, and its supposed support to Hamas.<br>But equally it is uncertain how this will end. How long this current crisis will last, whether and how the current Israeli and Palestinian leaders survive it, and what comes next for the Israeli and Palestinian people, are all mired in future tense. But one thing is certain, the latest conflict will hugely impact the Arab world and certainly a change is bound to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"4689\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;143&nbsp;total views<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;143&nbsp;total views https:\/\/www.dailyexcelsior.com\/israel-declares-war-against-hamas\/ https:\/\/bhaskarlive.in\/israel-declares-war-against-hamas-opinion\/ https:\/\/kashmirobserver.net\/2023\/10\/09\/israels-war-against-hamas-a-bugle-for-changing-me-politics\/ https:\/\/morungexpress.com\/israel-declares-war-against-hamas-opinion https:\/\/yespunjab.com\/israel-declares-war-against-hamas-by-asad-mirza\/ https:\/\/thekashmirimages.com\/2023\/10\/09\/israel-declares-war-against-hamas\/ https:\/\/in.investing.com\/news\/israel-declares-war-against-hamas-opinion-3841525 https:\/\/munsifdaily.com\/israel-declares-war-against-hamas-opinion\/ Fifty years plus one day later, Israel was jolted once again; showing its unpreparedness for war after the Iran-backed Hamas launched a surprise attack against it.
