| Summary: | October 7, 2023, the day of the Hamas extremist attack on Israel, marked the beginning of powerful upheavals in the Middle East region. They echoed in the form of large-scale demonstrations in many cities of the European Union and in the Euro-Atlantic countries, having a noticeable impact on the domestic political balance of power there. Having become one of the significant factors in changing the existing domestic political balances there, the Middle East upheavals noticeably affected the results of the elections to the European Parliament, as well as to the parliaments of France and Great Britain. The article focuses on the analysis of the impact of the Middle East events on what is happening in France. It is emphasized that for the first time since the time of de Gaulle, they led to a short-term crisis at the interstate level between France and Israel. The echo of the Middle East battles also resonated in the EU in the form of a surge in anti-Semitism, clearly manifested, in particular, in the anti-Israeli pogroms in Amsterdam on November 7, 2024. The author comes to the conclusion that under the influence of dramatic events in the Middle East, the alliance between Islamists and European left and far-left organizations is strengthening, which increases the likelihood of polarization and division of political elites there. |
