The other day, I had genuinely meaningful conversations with Professor Kamrava about the tragic developments that started in Palestine during his office hours. The primary focus was how the outcome of future possibilities would end up for both sides. But it all began by crediting Hamas - an Irani-backed organization in Gaza, for brilliantly executed low-cost operations. It was a symbolic punishment for the overconfidence of Israelis (without having thought about the day after), similar to what happened in the 1973 war.

Israelis never learn one fundamental and obvious lesson after each destruction/killing: Palestinians will eventually come after them again, no matter what. So, Netanyahu (PM of Israel) surely could not stop making politically suicidal decisions after the October 7 attacks. But why this all suddenly happened on October 7, 2023? Mainly because of the Saudi-Israel bilateral agreement on normalization according to the Abrahamic Accord, which would ultimately be against the interests of Iran and Palestine.

In the end, I brought up some arguments from his own book, namely “The Impossibility of Palestine”, (it was enlightening reading for me) to dig up any plausible solutions for peace or, optimistically, the establishment of Palestine shortly. Unfortunately, I got the answers I knew, and I wish they could be totally different. Again, reality on the ground truly hurts.
