Israel-Hamas War

“Three years of responses to the October 7 massacre and the multi-front war waged that day have exposed an additional existential warfront," said Cotler-Wunsh. 

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mourned those killed and abducted on October 7 while accusing Israel of genocide, apartheid, and war crimes during the Israel-Hamas War and the Gaza ceasefire.

If October 7 survives chiefly as the beginning of what came afterward, something has been lost.

Hamas official Ghazi Hamad said October 7 came at a heavy price, but pointed to Israel’s isolation and renewed Palestinian statehood push as strategic gains.

Three years after October 7, the attack has revived a fundamental Zionist question: Can the Jewish people entrust their security and future to others?

McGurk told the Post that, in one meeting with the families of the hostages, "One woman left the screen, and when she came back, she learned that her loved one was actually confirmed dead.”

Three years after October 7, the IDF has more troops, intelligence capabilities, and warning systems, but questions remain over whether Israel could again be caught by surprise.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hamas may try to influence Israel’s October 27 election with attacks, saying Israel would thwart such efforts and respond with “tremendous force.”

Meanwhile, London's Metropolitan Police issued conditions for allowing the student protest to proceed, including a ban on face coverings and limits on movement.

The IDF has completed preparations for its first all-female tank company designated for maneuvering combat, with recruits set to enter the new track in November.
