WaPo's Warrick: Hamas 'Very Happy' with Focus on Israeli Response, That Was Their Plan for October 7

On Monday's broadcast of CNN's "AC360," Washington Post National Security Reporter Joby Warrick stated that Hamas' plan was to swing world opinion on Israel, and that's playing out now because "Nobody really talks as much about October 7 anymore. The focus is on what Israel is doing in response. And that works very well from Hamas' point of view. It changes the subject, and they're very happy with that." And that making the civilians of Gaza suffer "does seem to fit very well with Hamas' plan."
