In a shocking revelation, a senior Hamas official, Ali Baraka, admitted in an interview that Hamas had been planning the recent terrorist attacks in Israel for the past two years. This means that the planning began after President Joe Biden took office and after the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. It is no coincidence that Hamas started plotting its invasion of southern Israel in the wake of these events.

Baraka boasted about the extensive preparations that Hamas had made for the attacks. They had established local factories to produce rockets and weapons of all kinds. They had even obtained a Russian license to manufacture Kalashnikov bullets in Gaza. It is clear that Hamas was heavily armed and ready to carry out this heinous act of terrorism.

What is even more alarming is that Baraka acknowledged that Hamas was assisted by Iran. This claim is not surprising, as Iran has a long history of supporting terrorist organizations. However, the Biden administration continues to turn a blind eye to Iran’s dangerous behavior, claiming that there is no direct evidence of their involvement. It is time for the Biden administration to wake up and take decisive action against Iran and its proxy, Hamas.
Baraka also expressed a desire for a prisoner swap with the U.S., similar to the recent swap with Iran. He demanded that the U.S. free Hamas members who are serving life sentences in American prisons. This is an audacious request considering that Hamas is a designated terrorist organization responsible for countless innocent lives lost. The U.S. should never negotiate with terrorists and should continue to hold them accountable for their crimes.
It is clear that Hamas deceived the world by projecting a “rational” image while secretly plotting the attacks. Baraka acknowledged that only a limited number of Hamas leaders knew about the impending attack, and they intentionally misled the international community about their intentions. This is a reminder that terrorist organizations will go to great lengths to conceal their plans. It is crucial that the world remains vigilant and takes decisive action against these threats.
The fact that Hamas was able to carry out such a devastating attack, killing over a thousand Israelis and kidnapping hundreds more, is a massive intelligence failure. Both the United States and Israel must investigate this failure and ensure that it does not happen again. Assigning blame may not be appropriate at this moment, but it is crucial to learn from this tragic event and strengthen intelligence gathering and cooperation.
In conclusion, the revelation that Hamas had been planning the recent terrorist attacks in Israel for the past two years is a chilling reminder of the ongoing threat that terrorism poses. It is imperative that the Biden administration and the international community take decisive action against Iran and its proxies, hold terrorists accountable, and strengthen intelligence efforts to prevent future attacks. The safety and security of innocent lives must always be the highest priority.
