The conflict between Israel and Palestine is the world's longest-running conflict. An unprecedented strike by Hamas against Israel unfolded on October 7, 2023. There have been serious human rights abuses in the area as a result of Israel's major counteroffensive launched against Hamas since that time. The entire region of West Asia has been impacted by the ongoing confrontation between Israel and Hamas. The United States has consistently maintained a diplomatic and military presence in the region. The attack has impacted U.S. foreign policy in the region and on Israel, the United States' long-standing, trustworthy strategic partner in the area. The region's stability and security framework has been impacted by human rights abuses as a part of the conflict and the involvement of other states in the conflict. This affected U.S. policy in the area as well. Thus, the impact of the October 7 attack and its ramifications for U.S. foreign policy are examined in this essay. In addition, this examines the external and internal factors that influenced U.S. foreign policy in West Asia following the October 7 incident. This paper further discusses the implications for U.S. foreign policy in the region from the attack and US reactions during the past year.
