On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and carried out a brutal massacre. 50 years ago, Israel’s secret services failed and completely misjudged the situation before the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War. History is now repeating itself: they also failed in the Hamas attack. The overall picture results in a highly explosive mixture. But what is happening on the secret front of the intelligence services?
Iran massively supports Islamist militias such as Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in their fight against Israel. Tehran then immediately used the attack on Israel to send a message to Riyadh: the attacks were a warning to all those who sought compromise with Israel.
October 7th also completely changed the relationship between wartime President Putin and Israel. Has a new axis emerged between Russia and Iran against the West? And what role does Qatar play with its financial injections into the Gaza Strip? An unprecedented wave of anti-Semitism has spread in civil society to frightening proportions.
