Confidential Meeting Between Senior Officials of the Islamic Republic and Hamas on the Crisis in Israel

In a confidential meeting, senior officials of the Islamic Republic and Hamas discussed the crisis in Israel, where they decided 'not to take action.' According to informed sources, they have held high-level meetings to assess the turmoil and how to utilize it. According to Reuters and an Iranian diplomat, this topic was discussed last week in a three-hour meeting attended by a senior commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, two security officials, and officials from the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas. The Iranian diplomat further stated that the attendees decided to avoid 'direct intervention' in this crisis, believing that any action could give Benjamin Netanyahu an opportunity to blame foreign enemies. According to Ynet News, Israel's enemies, including Hezbollah Lebanon (a group supported by the Islamic Republic), see Israel as weakened following the crisis triggered by the government's attempts to revise the judiciary, especially the threats from reserve forces regarding halting service in the army. Hezbollah Lebanon is also monitoring the developments. An official in Lebanon stated that the organization has discussed this crisis at the highest levels, viewing it as 'a development that can be utilized in the future.' Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, stated in his speech yesterday that 'it was previously thought that Israel could not be defeated and its army was invincible. This day is specifically the worst day in Israel's history and places the country on the path to annihilation.' The first part of Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed bill to reform the powers of the judiciary was approved by Israeli lawmakers on Monday, July 24. Karine Jean-Pierre, White House spokesperson, reacted to the approval of Netanyahu's proposed reforms in the Knesset, stating, 'It is regrettable that today's vote was conducted with the smallest possible majority.' She added that Joe Biden, the President of the United States, has repeatedly stated publicly and privately that sustaining significant changes in a democratic system requires broad consensus.
