@Ian_Bremmer's Quick Take: A Quick Take to kick off your week. It is October 7th, and that means one year since Hamas perpetrated the worst terrorist attacks since 9/11. Almost 1,200 Israelis dead, mostly civilians, and still a hundred plus held hostage from that day a year ago. Not much progress on that latter front or on a ceasefire. Not much progress in the region since then. What it did do, of course, on October 7th, is it outraged and unified what had been a very divided Israeli population, divided with massive internal demonstrations on domestic political issues. And suddenly the only issue that mattered was responding to, redressing those attacks, whether you're on the left or the right in Israel and being able to defend the Israeli homeland and get the hostages back.
On the former, they've certainly been effective, hitting back as hard as possible. We've seen that Hamas today is a shell of what it was on October 7th a year ago. The leadership mostly dead. The weapons caches mostly destroyed. The tunnels mostly sealed. Hezbollah, the most powerful non-state military actor in the world, has been damaged critically, and they started rocket attacks against Israel a day after the October 7th terrorist attacks. Israel has now opened up a second front, really the primary front now in the war, and after a couple of weeks of that war, Hezbollah's leadership is dead. Their communication capacity was critically destroyed. The war is ongoing but is certainly not going well for Hezbollah. On the one hand, you've seen a major escalation from the rockets and the bombing happening in Gaza to a ground war across the entirety of that territory now to Lebanon and with significant shots fired missiles and the rest military operations with Iran's other proxies, the Houthis and Yemen, Shia militants in Syria and Iraq, and of course involving Iran itself.

The voice of reason once again you’re so balanced and objective on this issue thanks Ian!
Thank you.
Very disappointed that you failed to even mention the tens of thousands of completely innocent civilians killed through indifference or through specific strategy.
Ian making sure IDF talking points are properly communicated to his audience.
Of course, so what do you want? Hamas?
@@siddave549no we want hasbara bs
@@siddave549 They're more believable these days sadly
Wow. hanas did the worst terror attack? has Bremner seen the terror over the people of Lebanon??? i think that is the largest terror attack in the recent tines. israel can proudly hild that record not Hamas. Israel declares it is the one who will out-do any attack, no?!
Ian trying desperately hard to spin the 1 year overview to show Israel as the good guys. Unbelievable. I've been listening to this guy for some time now, and never found him biased. What happened?
$$$$. Who do you think Bremmer’s major CEO corporate clientele are? He isnt advising and consulting for Iranian businesses.
@@TeacherLisaHello do you have proof or are you making assumptions?
Thanks @ian_bremmer
