Hamas is Going it Alone

It is becoming increasingly apparent that Hamas in launching its genocidal invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023, did not act upon instructions from Tehran. After the May 2021 conflict when the US forced Israel to accept a premature ceasefire after only eleven days of hostilities did Hamas calculate that President Biden would act the same way once more and this time prevent Israel from toppling Hamas. Iran and Hezbollah are trying to maintain a veneer of ambiguity but it is now clear that Hamas in going it alone is no longer part of the Iranian Axis and has effectively committed collective suicide in their liquidation being only a matter of time.
