In an interview with Israel Hayom, former U.S. President Doland trump placed blame for Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on U.S. President Joe Biden, saying it was because Hamas has 'no respect for him,' adding that 'they [Hamas] would have never done that attack if I were there.'

We have repeatedly written since last November that this would happen, and the U.S. warned Israel incessantly it was in the cards. Israel ignored the threats and is now disingenuously pretending to be surprised and shocked

Israel, which coined the term 'Hamas-ISIS,' may have succeeded in emphasizing the group's crimes and horrific actions, but the forming of an international coalition like the one created to counter ISIS is still very far away. This is mainly because, unlike ISIS, al-Qaeda or the Houthis, Hamas isn't considered a global threat

Yes, there is radical Islamist terrorism, its theater of operations is global, and it does not discriminate between Israelis, Russians, Americans or Afghans. But Israeli politicians connecting the attack in Russia to October 7 should know better
