He’s beyond naive. It is his negligence and malpractice in office, but he’s rather full of himself and quite a dandy on top of that,” Sonnenfeld said.Read WATCH: Hamas sniper blown up in IDF airstrike“It would have been amazing, but by tempting fate like that, Hamas realized this was their last moment to strike.”During the interview, Sonnenfeld also praised President Joe Biden, who inherited the Abraham Accords from his predecessors, for not reversing it, and noted that the president privately acknowledged how close they had been to securing Saudi Arabia’s signature on the peace agreement.Sonnenfeld characterized the leak as “an ill-timed irritant” that contributed to derailing one of the most significant diplomatic initiatives in recent Middle Eastern history, though he stopped short of directly attributing Hamas’s actions to the disclosure.
