Hamas Planned Oct. 7 To Prevent Israel-Saudi Normalization, Documents Confirm
Newly uncovered internal Hamas documents confirm a longtime theory explaining the motives behind the Oct.7, 2023 terror attack which kicked off the bloody and grinding Gaza war, which still shows no signs of abating and has resulted in unprecedented death and destruction in the Gaza Strip.
The documents, published by The Wall Street Journal, demonstrate that Hamas leaders had a specific aim of preventing a potential peace agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia based on the US-backed Abraham Accords. This was speculated about soon after the horrific attacks that also kicked off the hostage crisis.

Steve Witkoff: The Real Estate Investor Who Sealed The Gaza Ceasefire
Via Middle East Eye
On Saturday, Gaza ceasefire talks were down to the wire, and President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy wanted to hash out the deal once and for all with Benjamin Netanyahu, but the Israeli leader's office said he could not be roused during Shabbat.
Steve Witkoff allegedly gave a "salty" reply, making it clear he didn't care if it was the Sabbath, the Jewish day of rest. In the words of one report from Haaretz, Witkoff said Trump expected Israel to agree to the ceasefire, and "things that Netanyahu had termed life-and-death issues…suddenly vanished."
