Abstract
The Palestinian issue, as one of the longest-running contemporary geopolitical conflicts, has always been the scene of confrontation between the hegemonic or superior geopolitics of the Zionist regime and the subordinate resistance strategies of the Palestinians. This research aims to analyze the mechanisms of resistance against the geopolitical dominance of Israel, with an emphasis on the historical developments of October 7, 2023. The main question of the research is: What are the components of the hegemonic or superior geopolitics of the Zionist regime against the Palestinians? And how and with what strategies have the Palestinian people and resistance forces, especially after October 7, 2023, resisted the hegemonic geopolitics of the Zionist regime? The findings of the research, based on the theoretical framework of “critical geopolitics,” show that the Palestinian resistance, by employing combined and multidimensional strategies including advanced military operations, identity discourse, and the use of media diplomacy has not only been able to challenge the material dimensions of Israeli domination, but has also played a role in shaping the new geopolitical order of the region. The research findings emphasize that the Palestinian resistance, beyond a local action, is a symbol of the redefinition of power in the post-globalization era.
