[Jpost] Israeli sources state that the promise of Qatar as a haven may be true, but that doesn’t mean they’re free.It is hard to say what is most unusual about the Mossad and its potential plans to assassinate Hamas leadership: that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly declared the Mossad would go after them anywhere around the world (usually the order is given secretly), that a story leaked that they would not be targeted in Qatar….where many of them currently reside, or that they might be killed anyway.
Last Wednesday, Netanyahu held a press conference together with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and National Unity Party and War Minister Benny Gantz, publicly stating that he had ordered the Mossad to act against the leaders of Hamas, including outside of Gaza. Referring to the then-impending temporary ceasefire deal, he claimed that "there is no commitment in the agreement to not act in a truce against the leaders of Hamas, whoever they are."
