The International Relations of the Middle East After October 7 offers a focused examination of how the Hamas attacks on October 7 and Israel’s subsequent military campaign reshaped regional diplomacy, security alignments, and great-power involvement. The course traces shifts in Israeli foreign policy and national security, Arab state recalibrations, and the role of external actors such as the United States and key regional powers including Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. Students will engage with both rapid geopolitical changes and the deeper historical patterns they unsettle. The result is a concise but rigorous exploration of a region undergoing accelerated and consequential strategic transformation.
