It’s too early to figure out why Hamas chose this moment - but here are a few facts :

1. The Democrats in US + George Soros have been demanding that Netanyahu step down. The first pic ( below left ) - you will see Michael Rubin echoing the views.

2. Israel was rocked by months + long civil anarchy due to protests against judicial reforms brought in by Netyanhu. It’s come to light that Biden administration was funding this agitation ( hence, funding this agitation against Netanyahu )

3. The government was not in majority in Israel and loads of administrative reporting fell through the “cracks.”

4. The US just releases Billions of $$ of frozen money to Iran. It was not required.

5. The war in Ukraine is not going according to US / NATO wishes. Russia is systematically grounding Ukrainian weapons and manpower down. And Israel refused to send weapons to Ukraine - despite U.S. presssure. Did Ukraine change its mind recently ?

6. Turkey & Iran both back HAMAS. Turkey especially was against the India - Middle East - Europe corridor which bypassed it and went through Saudi & Israel. This route will become geopolitically sensitive post a massive Israeli retaliation against HAMAS in Gaza.

So, the enemies of Israel - and there are many - including some so called “friends” could have orchestrated this. The first 3 points above lead to a policy paralysis and hindered intelligence gathering.

( NOTE : India will do well to realise , the forces that hate Netanyahu & Israel are EXACTLY THE SAME FORCES that hate PM Modi & Bharat )
