Hamas channels target Netanyahu secretly
Details have been published about secret communications between Hamas leaders and heads of Israeli security agencies. Reports revealed that former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar informed members of the Cabinet in 2025 that he had maintained direct contact with Hamas officials outside Gaza with the approval of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aiming to facilitate negotiations for the release of prisoners. These contacts, made approximately two months before the Israeli elections, have sparked political and security controversy, especially after Netanyahu's office denied any direct negotiations with Hamas and accused political figures of spreading misinformation to damage the Prime Minister. The investigation also uncovered the existence of a secret communication channel established in 2014 by an Israeli businessman, which was used to secretly liaise with Hamas leadership. This coincided with covert negotiations Israel was conducting in Cairo, without the knowledge of senior officials. This development occurs amid disagreements over opening the Erez Crossing and threats from Israel against launching kites from Gaza, alongside the rebuilding of elements from Al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza. Statements and denials continue to exchange hands, further complicating the political and security landscape in Israel.
