Two hundred days have passed since the inception of the war between Israel and Hamas on the soils of Gaza.
The conflict has engulfed more extensively than initially anticipated by many, claiming lives, carving graves, imparting lessons, and altering decades-established rules of engagement. Despite the elapsed days and spilled blood, the war remains unresolved; neither has Israel obliterated Hamas as it had proclaimed, nor has the movement compelled Israel to retreat from the "quagmire" it anticipated. In this dossier, "Al-Sharq Al-Awsat" aims to provide a deeper insight into the war's landscape across its homeland, region, and the globe by pinpointing the current positions of its participants at this juncture of the confrontation and analyzing the alterations the war has instigated among allies and foes.
