Iran getting in the way of a Saudi Arabia/Israeli deal makes sense. But for Hamas? Every time that Israel has struck back at the Palestinians, the Palestinians lose big time. So their women and children will suffer for Iran moving the chess pieces and what does Hamas gain? Israel will not let this go until their revenge is enacted in Gaza! Adolph Eichmann is an example.
