Hamas Praises West Bank Stabbing as Resistance Rhetoric Escalates
🔪 WEST BANK — Hamas endorses attacks it can no longer execute at scale. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: With Al-Hayya opening his leadership with maximalist political demands, praising West Bank violence signals a coordinated register — political maximalism above, street incitement below. Israel gains domestic justification for expanded West Bank operations, complicating any Gaza ceasefire pathway. For Washington, linking Hamas political track to active incitement makes separating the Gaza file from the Iran campaign endgame harder to argue.
