The recent attack by Hamas against Israel not only targeted Israel itself but also aimed to disrupt efforts to forge new regional security alignments that could threaten Palestinian statehood and Iran's influence. The attack coincided with moves to normalize ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel, which would hinder the Saudi-Iran detente.
