War in Gaza: a reflection of international chaos from the realistic perspective

This article attempts to analyze the war in Gaza from a lens of realist theory, which has contributed to glorifying military force in international relations, and to examine the moral aspect of the most important theory in international studies.Based on contextual analysis and a case study approach, the article provides a theoretical framework for understanding the complex dynamics of war.It offers insights into the application of realist thought to the war in Gaza and its regional and international implications.The war in Gaza has affected many aspects of military, political, economic, and perhaps geographical reality.It will certainly be recorded as one of the most important historical turning points in the course of the Palestinian cause and the region.The article concludes that realism explains the behavior of actors based on their desire to maximize their power, in the context of a chaotic international system.When the realistic assumption that the concept of power affects the direction of foreign policy, and that the pursuit of survival is a central concept in guiding the foreign behavior of different actors is dropped, on Israel's war on the oppressed people of Palestine, and how the former exercises its influence, including absolute Western support, it appears that it chooses an aggressive foreign policy based on interests that culminated in full-fledged genocide.
