This study, compiled with the efforts of TÜBA International Relations Working Group, analyzes the historical, current and future dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian War in the light of theoretical literature and current data. On October 7, 2023, the armed strikes by the military wing of Hamas targeting Israelis and the 'Operation Iron Swords' launched by Israel in response, have caused serious concerns in the international community in the context of humanitarian crisis and global chaos. The multi-actor nature of the Palestinian-Israeli War, its impact and historical origins have made it necessary to examine this issue once again by focusing on historical ruptures. Israel's disproportionate retaliation, violations of established international norms and laws of war/conflict, and attacks on civilians, including hospitals, have had/are having serious repercussions on international relations and the Middle East region in particular. The findings of the report reveal that the events in the region have led to the recognition of the humanitarian crises in the Palestinian territories and a shift away from the traditional power-oriented pro-Israel stance, as countries that rejected the humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip began to recognize the humanitarian crises in the Palestinian territories after the domestic protests. However, due to the unfair structural and institutional bias of national and international politics, individual, academic and freedom of expression still remain under extreme pressure to protect Israel.
