Geopolitics refers to political issues between countries that causes disruption. The Israel Hamas war will not only result in death and destruction but will affect the world economy as well. One prediction is that this war will affect oil prices. The cost of oil for consumers may be high as the war continues. This would be because of Iran. If Iran becomes involved in the war, there would most likely be sanctions against the country resulting in rising prices. In history, conflicts like these affect prices in the short term but typically do not leave any long term effects. The article below discusses this in greater detail.
