Striking claim from US press regarding Israel's Qatar attack! Crisis between Mossad and Netanyahu...

Debates continue regarding the attack carried out by Israel on the Hamas negotiation delegation in Qatar's capital, Doha. In the shadow of global reactions, a remarkable claim has emerged from the US press. According to a report by the Washington Post, Israel's foreign intelligence agency, Mossad, opposed the nature and timing of the attack.

WARNING FROM THE MOSSAD CHIEF

According to claims based on Israeli security sources, Mossad Chief David Barnea did not support the operation, stating that the plan to kill the Hamas delegation would damage diplomatic relations with Qatar and lead ceasefire negotiations into a deadlock. For this reason, Mossad rejected the ground operation option. Subsequently, Israel turned to its second plan, an airstrike, and the Hamas delegation was targeted with 15 fighter jets and 10 missiles.

TIMING SPARKED DEBATE

The report stated that while Israeli security officials agreed that Hamas leaders abroad should be targeted at some point, there was criticism regarding the timing of the attack. A source close to the matter assessed that "Israel did not achieve what it wanted" after the operation, while another official raised the following question: "We could have killed the Hamas delegation in one, two, or four years. Because Mossad knows how to do it. So why now?"

WHAT HAPPENED?

In the attack carried out in Doha on Tuesday, the Hamas delegation negotiating for a ceasefire in Gaza was targeted. Six people lost their lives in the operation, including one Qatari security guard and five Hamas members. In a statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, it was said, "The operation carried out against Hamas's senior leaders is a completely independent Israeli operation. It was initiated and executed by Israel. We take full responsibility." Furthermore, the Israeli army announced that the attack was carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the internal intelligence agency, Shin Bet.
