The money can be seized again.The six billion in escrow frees six billion held domestically for nefariousness purposes, that the escrow agent won’t approve. … Even if it hasn’t been spent yet.
The scale of the attack says to me that it was planned and funded without this six billion.
Hammas can’t realistically believe it can defeat the IDF … There is a game theory example where an ‘oppressed‘ agent will act in spite to just to inflict a loss on an ‘opponent’. Killing non-combatants indiscriminately and taking hostages maximizes the loss to the Israel, but at what price?
Perhaps the most concerning part is the whether the ransom demands for hostages took a nonlinear step, and emboldened those willing to risk hostage taking as the rewards increased.
