Israel has experienced a long-standing conflict with Arab states and the Palestinians, marked by years of violence and terrorist attacks against the Jewish state. Predominantly composed of Jews, Israel is located in the\nMiddle East\nand is home to many holy sites with deep religious roots dating back to biblical times. It is bordered by Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and is roughly the size of New Jersey.\nWho is the current Prime Minister of Israel?\nAnswer\n:\nBenjamin Netanyahu\n, from the right-wing Likud party, is the longest-serving Prime Minister of Israel. He previously served as Prime Minister from 1996 to 1999 and later from 2009 to 2021, before returning to the role in 2022.\nWhat happened on October 7, 2023, in Israel?\nAnswer\n: On October 7, 2023,\nHamas terrorists\nlaunched a deadly attack on Israel. They stormed Israeli communities near the Gaza border and attacked the Nova music festival, killing families in their homes and kidnapping men, women and children. This assault ignited a conflict prompting Israel to formally declare war on Hamas.\nIn October 2025,\nHamas agreed to a peace deal\n, pushed by President Donald Trump, to end the war in Gaza and return the hostages. This came two years after the attack, which marked the bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust and led to a deadly war and humanitarian crisis across the Gaza Strip.\nDid Israel and Iran go to war in 2025?\nAnswer\n: In June 2025, Israel launched strikes aimed at Iran's nuclear facilities and top military leaders.\nOn June 13, 2025, Israel initiated strikes targeting nuclear sites in\nIran\n, marking the beginning of fire exchanges between the two nations and the start of the Israel-Iran war. In retaliation for U.S. strikes against its nuclear program, Iran launched at least 14 missiles toward Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.\nAccording to President Donald Trump the United States successfully carried out strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities in\nOperation Midnight Hammer\non June 22, 2025.","attrs_markdown":"- Fox News Media\n- [Fox News Media](https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/)\n- [Fox Business](https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/)\n- [Fox Nation](https:\/\/nation.foxnews.com\/)\n- [Fox News Audio](https:\/\/radio.foxnews.com\/)\n- [Fox Weather](https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/)\n- [Outkick](https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/)\n- [Fox Noticias](https:\/\/noticias.foxnews.com\/)\n- [Books](https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/books)\n\n[Fox News](https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/ \"Breaking News Today Fox News\")\n\n- [U.S.](https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us)\n  -

They stormed Israeli communities near the Gaza border and attacked the Nova music festival, killing families in their homes and kidnapping men, women and children.

In October 2025, [Hamas agreed to a peace deal](https://www.foxnews.com/world/hamas-accepts-trump-peace-plan-ending-2-years-war-gaza-returning-hostages), pushed by President Donald Trump, to end the war in Gaza and return the hostages.
