When You Fight Yourself
I asked an Israeli friend this week if in fact Israel had killed the rest of the Hamas senior leadership in Doha. Initial reports were that seven were eliminated, including Khaled Mashaal.
My friend usually knows what’s going on. Were they killed?
“We’ll see.”
Okay. Evidently, the hit on the Hamas ghouls was not entirely successful. Or was it?
Such is the state of spycraft these days, in an age of instant information. We see things happen in real time, and hours later, question what we saw. Are the assassins operating now in America homegrown, lone losers? Or part of a terror cell team?
Who knows?
If Israel did in fact avenge Israeli deaths from Oct. 7 by killing Hamas demons (who have been living in luxury in Qatar for years) then we are closer to victory in Gaza. If not, it simply delays the inevitable.
But a disturbing report emerged late this week in which the Mossad chief apparently over-rode Benjamin Netanyahu’s order of the operation in Doha. So rather than have operatives on the ground, to ensure success, Israel instead went in with an airstrike.
“The Mossad reportedly scrapped a plan it drew up in recent weeks to assassinate senior Hamas officials on Qatari soil using agents within the country, two Israelis familiar with the decision-making told The Washington Post in a Friday report.
“The two Israelis, who spoke to the US source on condition of anonymity, said that the intelligence agency’s director, David Barnea, opposed the plan due to concerns about the future of the relationship the Mossad had built with the Qataris, noting that Doha was mediating hostage deal agreements between Israel and the terrorist organization.
“One of the Israelis told the US source that, ‘this time, Mossad was unwilling to do it on the ground,’ with the report referencing the assassination that killed then-Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh when a bomb was planted in his room in Iran. The other anonymous Israeli said, ‘We can get them in one, two, or four years from now, and the Mossad knows how to do it.’”
It doesn’t matter, but I don’t agree with the spy agency cancelling the operational plan. And there is a further oddity:
“The exclusive Washington Post report comes a day after a former senior official from the Israeli intelligence agency told 103FM radio station on Thursday that its indirect contact with Qatar may have caused some of its officials to object to Israel’s Tuesday airstrikes in Doha.”
Washington Post exclusive?
Former senior official?
103FM radio?
This sounds like some weird Cohen Brothers film, a dark comedy. Why in the world would operational plans and discussions and strategy be discussed in public? What’s going on here?
We know that in the strike on Iran this summer, the Americans coordinated with Israel, even to the point of luring Iran into a false sense of relative safety, before lowering the boom.
So what is really going on now in the hunt for Hamas leaders? Is Israel really airing its dirty laundry in pubic, infighting about decisions to kill or pull back? Are Trump and Bibi coordinating? It seems Trump almost apologized to Qatar for the Israeli strikes, vowing it wouldn’t happen again. On the face of it, all this seems odd. Even bizarre. Are we fighting against ourselves? Are we fighting to win? All this seems reminiscent of the morally weak Bill Clinton not taking the shot against Osama bin Laden long before 9/11.
One hopes this is another Trump-Netanyahu feint.
We shall see.
