Keeping an Eye on the Geopolitical Ball | The causes and consequences of Hamas attack on Israel
b'In this week\\u2019s episode of Keeping an Eye on the Geopolitical Ball, Jamie Shea, Senior Fellow at Friends of Europe, analyses Saturday\\u2019s attacks by Hamas on Israel. Constituting Israel\\u2019s worst intelligence and security failure in decades, Jamie unpacks the two main questions that arise, namely why Hamas attacked at this particular point in time and why Israel was taken by surprise. The strategic consequences that follow these events are ample, whereby the international community should ensure the proportionality of Israel\\u2019s response, prevent the war from spreading to regional conflicts, as well as advance the political dialogue for a two-state solution.'
