Three years after October 7, debate over Israel's future continues
Three years after the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack, debate continues over Israel's political and social direction. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in power with a chance of re-election in a vote set for October 27. Security failures, root causes of the attack, and the war that followed remain unresolved issues. Terms like 'genocide' and 'Zionism' remain divisive, with the UK's Green Party reportedly equating Zionism with racism.
