Hamas knows Israel comes to talks in bad faith: Analysis
Hassan Barari, professor of international relations at Qatar University, says Hamas has learned from its past dealings with Israel that they change positions every time a deal is close.
“When a deal is within range, the Israelis would do something different, like committing atrocities or assassinating leaders,” he said.
“They learned from the brief history that Israelis go to negotiations in bad faith and they have intention to undermine the talks.”
Barari said Israel tries to shift the blame to Hamas in these situations. The analyst, however, added that he believes this time a deal is close due to the US administration’s pressure on Israel.
“Netanyahu is facing a tough time now as even his negotiating team is talking about a deal that is possible,” he said.
