Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel this weekend is drawing comparisons to 9/11 and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. In an online discussion, Brookings experts Natan Sachs, Shibley Telhami, Suzanne Maloney, and Molly Reynolds weighed in on Israel’s response to the attacks, Iran’s involvement, the regional repercussions, and how domestic politics will bear on the U.S. response, moderated by Michael O’Hanlon.
