Analysis: How Israeli-US actions kept Hamas in power

They allowed Hamas to run in the 2006 election, which it won.

A 2007 failed Israeli-CIA coup attempted to oust Hamas & install the PLO.

From 2007, Israel imposed an economic blockade on Gazans, making them dependent on Hamas for jobs.

Netanyahu had Qatar & Egypt fund Hamas to ensure political division in order to forestall a Palestinian state.

It’s normally a routine annual meeting about threats to the United States and global security. But today’s U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee hearing came a day after Trump administration officials were revealed to have mistakenly included a journalist on chat group discussing war plans. @politico breaks down the heated questioning.

#US / Newly released CIA report reveals Cold War activities targeting Israeli Communist Party

A declassified 1961 #CIA report details the agency's surveillance of the Israeli Communist Party (#MAKI). The 25-page document, released under the Trump administration, examines MAKI's leadership, its youth wing, and its connections to various Israeli organizations. The report highlights the CIA's concerns about the party's political influence and its efforts to undermine it. The report details the party's membership, split by ethnicity and origin. The report also reveals the CIA's focus on encouraging internal divisions within the party.

[...] The secret document reveals a glimpse of the depth of American global imperialist activity, and one can only wonder how involved then-Prime Minister Ben-Gurion was in the anti-democratic campaign in Israel, as according to the document, he expressed concern on more than one occasion that 'MAKI, MAPAM, and Israeli leftists would seize power

This release is part of a larger declassification effort related to the John F. Kennedy assassination.

#Reuters: #CIA l-a informat pe #Trump, în ultima săptămână, că trupele ucrainene nu sunt încercuite la #Kursk, dar că au pierdut mult din suprafața controlată. Totuși, președintele a continuat să susțină contrariul.
