Report: Hamas had considered 'cancelling 7 October' attack if Israel honoured agreements. Hamas meeting documents said the planned attack would be abandoned “if the [Israeli] attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque & in the prisons ceased”. However, they said, there were “no signs of progress” & Netanyahu had “backtracked on everything previously agreed”. “The operational objective of the project is to defeat the enemy’s Gaza Division." https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-would-have-cancelled-7-october-attack-if-israel-honoured-agreements-report-says #USPol #EUPol #Oct7 #news #Palestine #Gaza .
