Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has accused the Palestinian group Hamas of working with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Turkey to overthrow Egyptian President el-Sisi. Katz claimed that a Hamas official named Khaled Ghannam is leading and funding these efforts, allegedly in coordination with Iranian entities. According to Katz's statement, Hamas is seeking to instigate a "revolution" against el-Sisi, with Ghannam, described as a foreign intelligence official for the group, managing these activities.
The statement did not provide independent evidence or details to verify these accusations. There has been no immediate confirmation or comment from Egypt or Hamas regarding the allegations.
These claims emerge amidst intense political debate in Israel over the formation of the next government and the role of Arab parties. Katz's statement shifted from accusing Hamas to criticizing the potential inclusion of Arab parties, particularly the United Arab List, in the government. This linkage suggests the accusations against Hamas and Egypt are being used within Israel's internal political discourse regarding government formation, rather than solely as a security matter concerning Hamas-Egypt relations.
The accusations are presented as statements from an Israeli official and are not established facts due to the lack of public evidence or independent confirmation.
