In response to the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack from Gaza into Israel (killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians) Israel has mounted a continuing military campaign in Gaza aiming to destroy Hamas. Gaza claims that the invasion has killed more than 25,000 Gazans. Criticism of Israel's actions has been widespread, more so than in the past. Israeli responses have been sharp.
The underlying issues surrounding Israel's place in its regional environment have been largely unchanged and unresolved since Israel's establishment three quarters of a century ago.
We are privileged to welcome the Hon Bob Carr, former Australian foreign minister and Premier of New South Wales, to offer us his analysis of the situation.
