What did the newly uncovered IDF documents reveal about Hamas' motivations?
Willkommen bei der Präsidenten-Daily Brief. Ich bin Mike Baker, eure Augen und Ohren auf der Welt-Stage. Okay, lasst uns kurz sprechen. Wir beginnen heute mit neu entdeckten Dokumenten der israelischen Verteidigungsfuhr, der IDF, die Licht auf Hamas' Motivation für die brutalen, oktober 7, 2023, Angriffe auf Israel. Reportiert wurde eine kalkulierte Strategie, die sich um regionalen Politik umsetzen wollte. Wir haben die Details. Later in the show, after last week's faltering attempt to bring Moscow and Kiev to the table in Turkey, President Trump is now making direct calls to both Putin and Zelensky, hoping to break the diplomatic deadlock. Plus, according to the FBI, a deadly explosion at a reproductive clinic in Palm Springs, California, is being investigated as a targeted act of terrorism. Und in heute's Back of the Brief. Could the answer to Gaza somehow involve Libya? Well, a controversial relocation plan is reportedly under serious discussion. But first, today's PDB Spotlight.
Wir fangen heute an mit neu entdeckten Dokumenten, die auf Hamas' Motivation für die 7. Oktober-Terror-Attacken auf Israel aussehen. Und wenn das, was in den Dokumenten ist, genau ist, dann bestätigt das, was viele schon lange erwartet haben. Der Massaker war nicht nur um Israel zu schießen, sondern um die Diplomatie zu zerstören. According to a document reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, the assault was designed specifically to torpedo the peace negotiations that were taking place between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The document in question is a transcript. It's minutes of a high-level Hamas political bureau meeting that was held inside Gaza on the 2nd of October, just five days before the attacks.
Israeli forces say they discovered the document buried in a tunnel beneath the enclave. During the meeting, Yahya Sinwar, who was the top Hamas leader in Gaza at the time, told fellow militants during the meeting that what was needed was, quote, an extraordinary act to sabotage the normalization process between Israel and Saudi Arabia. He warned the group that if the Saudis move forward with a deal, it would, quote, open the door for the majority of Arab and Islamic countries to follow the same path. In other words, normalization wouldn't just happen with Riyadh, it would spread across the region, leaving Hamas and the Palestinian cause politically isolated. Sinwar reportedly went on to say, "...there is no doubt that the Saudi-Zionist normalization agreement is progressing significantly, and that Hamas had to respond with a move that would "...bring about a major shift in the paths and balances of the region with regard to the Palestinian cause."
According to the documents, Sinwar also expected support from other Iranian-backed militant groups in the so-called Axis of Resistance, a reference to the network of anti-Israel proxy forces that of course includes Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and various militias in Syria and Iraq. Now, if you've been listening to the PDB since the start of this war, this really shouldn't come as a surprise. There have been multiple signs pointing to this strategy since the beginning. Just weeks after the attack, the deputy commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, praised Hamas for halting the normalization effort. He said, quote, those who intended to pursue the effort have now adopted positions against the Zionist regime, end quote. That was a thinly veiled reference to Saudi Arabia.
And back in June, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the October 7th attacks had, quote, thwarted all of the enemy's plans, adding that the operation had, quote, dispelled all hopes of reviving this plan of normalization. But this document... This is the first time that we're hearing it straight from Hamas personnel.
