Qatari Emir Tamim is said to be working to offer U.S. President Joe Biden a "gift" just days before the U.S. presidential elections, even if it requires direct pressure on Hamas leadership.
This includes brokering a short-term truce between Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to secure the release of American captives also holding Israeli citizenship and the return of the remains of Israeli captives currently held by Hamas.
This led to a split within Hamas over Qatar’s intentions.
The note provides a comprehensive overview of the following aspects:
- The Hamas leaders backing Emir Tamim’s proposal and those opposing it
- The chances for Hamas to accept the proposal as perceived by Qatari officials
- Doha’s view on dealing with Hamas after the assassination of Yahya Sinwar
The note also mentions an expanded proposal by Mossad Chief David Barnea and outlines Hamas’ stance on it.
