Abstract
After World War II, with the cooperation of the Zionist movement and Britain, Jews from all over the world migrated to the Palestinian region to create their promised land near Mount Zion. Although this process was opposed by the Arabs, it ultimately led to the establishment and independence of Israel on May 14, 1948, at the same time as the end of the conflicts between Arab militias and newly arrived Jewish immigrants and the end of the British mandate over Palestine. This regime has dominated many areas of Palestine and occupied its lands in several wars with the Arabs. The military attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 by Hamas and inflicting heavy blows on the regime's body, severely weakened its deterrence and defense power, and Tel Aviv, in response to this offensive operation, bombed areas of the Gaza Strip and completely blockaded this strip. Thus, the main question of the research is what is Israel's deterrence strategy in West Asia during the 2023 war with Hamas? The research hypothesis is that with Hamas’s massive attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 and the continuous firing of rockets at Jewish settlements in southern Israel, the regime’s deterrence and defense power have been severely reduced. In response to these attacks, Tel Aviv, with the support and backing of the United States and Western countries, has launched extensive airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and a comprehensive siege on it, which could lead to the elimination of Hamas from the field equations and the weakening of the Islamic resistance chain in West Asia. These hostilities and tensions created by Tel Aviv in the region and the bombing of resistance-oriented actors will not contribute to lasting peace and stability in West Asia. In the meantime, Tel Aviv has launched several offensive attacks on Iran.
