Israel's Strike Against Hamas in Qatar Should Have Come a Long Time Ago
(Ynet News) Avi Issacharoff - The strike on Hamas leaders abroad was a legitimate and justified move that should have been carried out long ago. Qatar was wrongly granted a status of near immunity early in the war. How could a country that openly funds and supports the Muslim Brotherhood, hosts Hamas's top leadership responsible for the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, channels billions of dollars into Hamas's coffers, and zealously nurtures its global propaganda arms - primarily through the Al Jazeera network and influence campaigns reaching as far as the White House - become the central mediator between Hamas and Israel? Egypt is expected to return to center stage as the primary mediator. Egyptian intelligence officials have no affection for Hamas and certainly none for its parent movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, which they regard as an existential threat to President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's rule.
