Israel’s Forever War
This important book looks at the immediate background to the 2023 war and asks whether the international system can contain two simultaneous wars in Europe and the Levant.
The surprise 2023 Hamas-Israel war has completely changed the central conflict in the Middle East. As the conflict has expanded to include other regional players, the future of Israel as a regional superpower is now in doubt, as is the international system.
Israel’s Forever War is an important book that examines the immediate background to the 2023 war and questions whether the international system can manage two simultaneous wars in Europe and the Levant.
The book covers the wars won and partly lost by Israel, in 1948 and 1973; the rise of Hamas and the fall of the PLO; how Hamas took the Israelis by surprise; and how Hezbollah, the West Bank, and Syria joined the fight. It also explores the role of regional powers, the war's impact on Israeli society, economy, and the IDF, and how the conflict affects the entire region's relationships with the West.
