Political scientist Toomas Alatalu argues that President Reagan’s approach to the Middle East would be appropriate for the current situation. On October 14, 2023, Alatalu wrote that the continuously escalating confrontation in the Middle East has reached an especially frightening point. Last Saturday, Hamas launched a large attack on Israeli territory, resulting in over 3,000 casualties. Subsequently, Israel has engaged in sustained military operations. Additionally, Israel has cut off electricity and impeded food deliveries to 2.3 million people and is requesting the immediate evacuation of an additional 1 million individuals. This action is undertaken in the context of securing the release of hostages. Alatalu notes that the situation raises questions regarding the proportionality of the response.
