Gaza’s Cycle of Destruction: Understanding the Actors, Dynamics, and Responses is an integrated, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive academic inquiry into Gaza wars and their drivers, actors, dynamic, paradigms, and responses. Unlike studies on the previous wars in Gaza, it seeks to present to the regional and global readership a different perspective towards the conflict—one that is authored by nearly a dozen Palestinian researchers and academics. It strives to steer away from the ‘Northern’-dominated research space to present an informative, analytical, and thought-provoking argument. The book provides a combination of theoretical, thematic, and topical analysis of the war. It is designed to guide the reader through the background and development of the events of the 2023 war. Put differently, the book’s objective goes beyond tracing the historical roots of instability in Gaza. Instead, it directly addresses the Gaza Strip’s contemporary context.
