A new report says internal Hamas meeting documents show the group weighed calling off the October 7 attack on Israel if Israeli actions ceased. The documents said the assault would be abandoned if attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and on Palestinian prisoners stopped, but noted there were no signs of that happening. The claim is drawing attention as debate continues over the attack's origins and whether it could have been prevented.
Why now: Fresh reporting on leaked or disclosed Hamas documents reopens debate over whether the October 7 attack was preventable through Israeli concessions.
