The Gas Beneath Gaza - How October 7th Was Exploited for Land, Resources, and Geopolitical Control

From the very beginning, Israel’s political and military strategy has centered on territorial expansion, resource control, and the weakening or outright elimination of Palestinian national aspirations. The events of October 7th, often framed in mainstream Western media as a "surprise Hamas attack," have increasingly shown signs of being used—or perhaps even orchestrated—as a pretext for a broader, long-planned objective: the reoccupation and permanent takeover of Gaza. At the heart of this operation lies not only ideology or security, but profit—specifically, the valuable offshore natural gas reserves located in Gaza’s territorial waters.
