After the decision to expel Hamas leaders from its territory, Qatar – in collaboration with Egypt – deals another blow to the murderous terrorist organization and sets a clear ultimatum. According to reports in the Egyptian media, the two countries sent a joint message to Hamas leaders stating that the organization is close to a point of no return, which could have dramatic consequences.
At the heart of the ultimatum lies the condition set by Egypt and Qatar for Hamas, which states that without progress in talks about the future of the Strip in the post-war period, the status of senior Hamas officials there will change, affecting their activities in Qatar, Egypt, and even in other Arab countries.
This is a dramatic move, mainly on the part of Egypt, which until now has refrained from exerting public pressure on the organization, but it seems that since the assassination of Yahya Sinwar, Cairo feels more comfortable pressuring the organization's leaders.
