"Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan hasn't just taken the mask off; he's taunting those who were ever fooled by it. While the civilized world is celebrating the peace deal between Israel and Hamas brokered by President Donald Trump, Hasan is worried about it. Why? Because Hamas is set to give away its leverage, which happens to exist in the form of Jewish lives."
"I said yesterday that my biggest fear was that Israel uses this deal to get back their remaining hostages and then restarts the bombing and genocide, tweeted Hasan on X Thursday. And here is the Israeli financial minister confirming that is exactly what he wants. The Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, is a disreputable figure to be sure. But he didn't call for a restart to the bombing and genocide."
Mehdi Hasan criticized the Israel-Hamas peace deal, claiming hostage returns will strip Hamas of leverage and risk enabling renewed Israeli bombing and genocide. Hasan posted a tweet expressing fear that Israel would use the deal to retrieve remaining hostages and then resume large-scale attacks. The tweet pointed to Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich as purported confirmation. Smotrich opposed the deal and expressed a responsibility to eradicate Hamas and disarm Gaza, but he did not explicitly call for restarting bombing. The piece characterizes Hasan as mourning hostage returns because terrorists lose bargaining power and as consistent with his prior statements.
