This likely was planned and coordinated with the help of an external power e.g. Iran. I can’t speak for Hamas rationale, but Iran has a distinct interest in derailing the Israeli Saudi peace agreement coming up.
Israel leveling Gaza in response, might just do it. HOWEVER, unlike his pro-Palestinian father, MBS doesn’t give two shits about Palestinians, so this will be good insight into how much influence/power resides in the Saudi King vs the Crown Prince.
Personally, I hope that deal fails, but only because it’s part of a larger USA policy project in the ME that would provide additional American Military backed security guarantees for Saudi Arabia, which is just bad all around in my opinion.
Basically, Saudi Arabia formerly making peace with Israel is one of the American requirements for those security guarantees, amongst other issues.
Please don’t mistake my desire to see that Saudi Israeli peace deal fall through as justification for the attacks, or even a greater interest in the middle east. It’s purely out of my disdain for the American alliance with Saudi Arabia, and my desire to see it end.
