Documents captured by Israel in Gaza reportedly reveal that Hamas viewed a Saudi-Israel normalization agreement as a strategic threat and actively sought to derail it before launching the October 7 massacre.
According to the documents, Hamas leaders established a dedicated body to fight normalization and called for escalating violence in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem to sabotage the diplomatic process. Just days before October 7, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar reportedly declared that only an “extraordinary action” could stop the emerging regional alliance.
The documents offer rare insight into Hamas’s internal thinking, suggesting the terror group’s attack was driven not only by hatred of Israel but also by a calculated effort to prevent a historic breakthrough between Israel and Saudi Arabia that could have reshaped the Middle East.
