In this thought-provoking episode of Israel: State of a Nation, Eylon Levy is joined by Seth Frantzman, Middle East analyst and author, to discuss the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Frantzman provides deep insights into the October 7th massacre, likening it to historical events like Pearl Harbor and 9/11, and examines the broader geopolitical implications for Israel and the West. The conversation covers Hamas’s strategy, the international response, and the enabling role NGOs play in Hamas's cynical strategy. Frantzman’s new book on the October 7th war sheds light on the failures that led to the attack and the challenges ahead for Israel. A must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the stakes of this war and its global impact.Co-Creator and Host - Eylon LevyCo-Creator and Creative Director - Guy RossExecutive Producer - Asher Westropp-EvansDirector - Lotem SegevGraphics/Assistant Director - Thomas GirschAssistant Director - Benny Goldman00:00 Coming Up00:50 Opening monologue03:14 Main Titles03:29 Naming The Oct 7 War 08:18 Global significance of Oct 713:31 Hamas's war goals24:20 How did Israel's defenses fail?30:09 Can Hamas be contained?32:59 Hamas's int'l collaborators42:01 What Iran has learned about a post-US MId-east.45:57 IDF's war scorecard52:25 The pitfalls of reconsruction56:40 Will the next Oct 7 happen in Judea and Samaria?59:56 The futility of appeasement1:02:26 The costs of losing the war
