The Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7 were only the first step in an Iranian-backed assault on the West and its democratic principles, says Catherine Perez-Shakdam, a journalist, commentator and expert on the Middle East.

Speaking to NTD’s Lee Hall for the “British Thought Leaders” programme, Ms. Perez-Shakdam said Iran had exerted a “tremendous influence” on Hamas and had stirred up its belligerence towards Israel.
