HOW HAMAS TERROR ATTACK TARGETED US-SAUDI-ISRAEL AGREEMENT ON PALESTINE

E very terror attack carries a motive. Following extensive investigations and intelligence gathered from networks in Israel, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, this writer has come to believe that the horrific attack by Hamas terrorists on Israeli civilians where 1,400 innocent lives were brutally taken and 251 people, including women and children, were taken hostage-was not just an isolated act of violence. It was a calculated attempt to derail a peace process that was gaining traction. This potential agreement could have led to Saudi Arabia normalizing diplomatic relations with Israel, contingent on the establishment of a Palestinian state.

This attack appears to be more than just a random act of terror; it was likely a strategic move to sabotage a significant geopolitical shift in the region. It evokes a scene from the movie "The Godfather 3," where Michael Corleone, reflecting on a brutal attack, says, "Joe Zasa, would never pull something like this with out backing. He's just muscle, an enforcer, he's nothing. He doesn't have the wit or ambition... Our true enemy, has not yet shown his face." Just as Zasa was a front for more sinister forces, the Hamas attack might mask deeper motives and players who stand to gain from disrupting peace in the Middle East.

On October 6, 2023, Brett McGurk, the White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, believed that a historic peace deal in the region was within reach.

The Biden administration was on the cusp of achieving what many before had attempted but failed: a comprehensive agreement that would bring lasting peace.

McGurk, meeting with a delegation of Saudi diplomats, was drafting a blueprint for a Palestinian state, which would be the cornerstone of a grand bargain where Saudi Arabia would establish diplomatic ties with Israel in exchange for this new state.

The potential breakthrough promised a monumental shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics.
