Hamas leadership has conveyed an unprecedented threat to Israel, warning of a new attack similar to the October 7, 2023, offensive and indicating potential actions within Israel, the West Bank, and abroad. The message was reportedly delivered to Israel via UN Humanitarian Coordinator Ramez Al-Akbarov, who met with Hamas officials in Gaza last week. Hamas leaders allegedly linked their threats to ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, the movement of the "red line," and the Palestinian Authority's cancellation of elections scheduled for November 28. They believe these developments are diminishing the movement's control on the ground.
Al-Akbarov subsequently met with the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Major General Yoram Halevi, to relay Hamas's message. Details of the threat were urgently forwarded to Israeli political and security echelons. Israeli sources described the message as exceptional in its severity and directness, particularly as Israel intensifies its military operations in Gaza, targeting Hamas elite unit members and senior officials.
Despite demands from the "Peace Council" and mediators for Hamas to disarm, Israeli assessments suggest the group will not fully relinquish its weapons and will likely seek to stall for time. Meanwhile, Israel continues to block the entry of a technocratic committee intended to manage Gaza, as well as Palestinian police forces.
