| Middle East Tensions
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamín Netanyahu is preparing for a potential ground invasion of Gaza in response to recent attacks by Hamas, amidst significant internal criticism and pressure. The Israeli government has intensified airstrikes on Gaza, causing substantial destruction and civilian displacement. Experts suggest this could be a precursor to a ground offensive. The conflict has resulted in over 1,200 Israeli and 1,055 Gazan deaths.

Following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by IDF soldiers, families of hostages express relief and urge the Israeli government to leverage this development for diplomatic negotiations to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum commends the military action but emphasizes the need for a diplomatic resolution. Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, acknowledge the challenges in negotiations, while efforts continue with international mediation. The sentiment among families is a mix of relief over Sinwar's death and a strong desire for the safe return of hostages.

Mosab Hassan Youssef, the little prince of Hamas turned Israeli spy
01 Dec 2023

JeuneAfrique.com

French
| Middle East Conflict
Mosab Hassan Youssef, son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Youssef, turned from a potential Hamas leader to an Israeli spy. Raised in Ramallah during the first Intifada, he was arrested at 18 and recruited by Shin Bet. He provided intelligence that prevented attacks and led to arrests within Hamas. After converting to Christianity, he faced exile and challenges in the U.S., including a denied citizenship application. His autobiography 'Son of Hamas' and the support of his former handler helped him eventually gain U.S. citizenship. Despite initial interest in his story, his refusal to be a symbol of Christian supremacy over Islam led to a decline in public attention. Recently, he has regained visibility by joining the Israeli delegation at the UN Security Council and calling for the liberation of Gaza from Hamas.

Despite tensions, Turkey and Israel maintain back-channel communications, with recent meetings focusing on Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Israel remains cautious of Turkey's neutrality, and Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected a ceasefire, emphasizing increased pressure on Hamas.

| Assassination Campaign
Israel is intensifying its international assassination campaign against Hamas leaders, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorizing Mossad to target Hamas officials globally. The campaign faces significant challenges, particularly in countries like Turkey and Qatar, which are U.S. allies and have complex diplomatic relations with Israel. While Israel has successfully conducted operations in Lebanon, targeting Hamas leaders in Turkey and Qatar is more complicated due to geopolitical considerations. Turkish President Erdogan has warned of serious consequences if Hamas members are killed in Turkey, reflecting the country's support for Hamas and domestic pro-Palestinian sentiment. Qatar, hosting Hamas leaders since 2012, faces mounting pressure from Israel and the U.S. to expel Hamas officials. Despite public rhetoric, both Israel and Turkey are cautious of escalating tensions, prioritizing their strategic and economic ties. The article highlights the intricate balance Israel must maintain in its assassination campaign while navigating international diplomacy.
