From The Poynter Report with Tom Jones:
Dana Bash, host of Sunday’s “State of the Union” on CNN, said on air, “October 7, 2023. For every Israeli, it’s a date that will echo for eternity for its brutality and the country’s return to war.”
The Washington Post’s Max Boot wrote, “This is Israel’s 9/11, and, just as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks rippled out across the world from Afghanistan to Iraq, so, too, will the 10/7 attacks ripple out in ways that are as dangerous as they are unpredictable.”
Jonathan Conricus, a former international spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, said on CNN, “This is a Pearl Harbor-type of moment for Israel.”
The Israeli government formally declared war Sunday, just a day after Hamas launched an attack from Gaza. As of Sunday evening, The Associated Press reported that at least 700 people have been killed in Israel, and more than 400 have been killed in Gaza. Thousands on both sides have been injured.
Here’s a look at some of the most notable reporting from the weekend:
For The New York Times, Patrick Kingsley, Aaron Boxerman and Gabby Sobelman with “‘There Were Terrorists Inside’: How Hamas’s Attack on Israel Unfolded.”
The New York Times’ Roger Cohen with “A Shaken Israel Is Forced Back to Its Eternal Dilemma.”
New York Times opinion columnist Thomas L. Friedman with “Israel’s Worst Day at War.”
The Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein and Annie Gowen with “American Jews feel solidarity about Israel — for the moment.”
The Washington Post’s Loveday Morris, Imogen Piper, Joyce Sohyun Lee and Susannah George with “How a night of dancing and revelry in Israel turned into a massacre.”
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius with “Hamas attack is an intelligence failure that may take Israel years to unravel.”
The Associated Press with “These photos show fear, death and destruction in battle scenes from Israel and the Gaza Strip.”
For The Wall Street Journal, David S. Cloud, Anat Peled, Chao Deng, and Dov Lieber with “Israel’s First 24 Hours Under Attack: ‘We Are Going to Die.’”
The Los Angeles Times’ Tracy Wilkinson with “U.S. struggles with how to help restore calm in Middle East in wake of deadly Hamas attack.”
Nahal Toosi, Politico’s senior correspondent for foreign affairs and national security, with “How big is this going to get? What to watch for in the Israel-Hamas battle.”
