Hamas is Hysterical: Here's why
Hamas fears an impending powerful Israeli attack in Gaza if negotiations fail, prompting the organization to raise its alert levels internationally
Twitter
Senior leaders of Hamas are on high alert worldwide due to fears of Israeli retaliation following the reported collapse of hostage negotiations.
According to a detailed report by Haaretz, Hamas has intensified security measures globally, anticipating potential assassinations of its senior members and military operations aimed at freeing hostages in Gaza.
Sources within Hamas suggest that the group is particularly concerned about targeted assassinations of its leaders abroad, a strategy Israel has employed in the past. Additionally, the report details a disturbing directive reiterated to guards overseeing hostages: to open fire and kill the hostages if they sense the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are approaching the tunnels where they are held.
At the same time, they are ecstatic about the UK and France’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state, calling it proof that “international support for Palestinian self-determination shows we are moving in the right direction.” A senior Hamas official said, “Victory and liberation are closer than we expected.” (Osint)
They are also thrilled that their massive international PR campaign entitled "Israel is starving Gazans" is working so well and that all of the useful idiots in the West are lapping it up.
Two important things happened late yesterday:
Firstly, Saudi Arabia and Qatar told Hamas to give up its arms.
Second, Qatar informed Hamas that it would no longer mediate between Israel and Hamas if an agreement was not reached in the latest round of negotiations. This decision was part of a broader review of Hamas's political office in Doha, following reports that the United States had urged Qatar to remove Hamas leaders from its territory if they declined to agree to a hostage deal with Israel.
The Qatari foreign ministry stated that initial reports of withdrawing from mediation talks were "inaccurate," clarifying that Qatar had notified the parties 10 days prior that it would stall its efforts if no agreement was reached. Qatar emphasized it would resume mediation when both parties showed willingness and seriousness to end the brutal war. This development came amidst ongoing tensions, with Hamas having a base in Doha since 2012, reportedly at the request of the Obama administration, and recent reports of Hamas ending its mediation role after U.S. pressure.
It's noteworthy that this happened at exactly the same time as Israel is seriously considering annexing parts of the Gaza Strip, for the first time since the disastrous 2005 disengagement.
