In the years following the devastating terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, U.S. intelligence redirected its attention away from monitoring Hamas and other Palestinian militants. Instead, it channeled its resources into pursuing the leaders of al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Hamas said it was engaged in "heavy fighting" with Israeli troops on Sunday inside northern Gaza, where besieged residents were again told to flee.

After weeks of ferocious air strikes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared a new "stage" in what he warned will be a "long and difficult" war.

Hamas claims that almost 50 hostages died during the Israeli bombing of Gaza, but this information has not been officially confirmed.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis reiterated Greece's position that Hamas is a terrorist organization and that it does not represent the Palestinian people in a telephone conversation on Thursday with the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas.

David Harris, former CEO of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and Vice Chair for Global Affairs at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) in a post on platform X on Thursday condemned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for calling Hamas a liberation group. 

Harris went on to state that "Erdogan can't be trusted."

The reaction to the attack by Hamas reconfirmed the deepening strategic cooperation between Greece and Israel, which is totally independent of the growing mistrust between Jerusalem and Ankara that makes any rapprochement between the two, at least in the short or medium term, extremely difficult.

That scenario would mean the United States would have to evacuate hundreds of thousands of American nationals from the region.
This means that hundreds of thousands of American citizens would be evacuated from the region, of which about 600,000 are in Israel and Lebanon, the Washington Post said, citing as many as four officials involved in the development of that plan.
