Hamas’ Sponsors Exposed | Iran, Qatar & the War Beyond Gaza

Everyone wants to know: What will it take to defeat Hamas once and for all?

In this episode of Israel: State of a Nation, Eylon Levy sits down with Michael Doran, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and former U.S. National Security Council official, to break down the bigger war beyond Gaza—and what it will take to end Hamas for good.

Doran argues that Hamas is just a pawn in Iran’s larger war against Israel, and that Tehran is the true mastermind keeping the terror group alive. But is Iran really the key to victory, or do Hamas’s other patrons—Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt—also bear responsibility?

Key topics covered:

🔹 How to take down Hamas—what’s the real strategy for ending this war?

🔹 Iran’s role in the war—does cutting off Tehran mean the collapse of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis?

🔹 Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt—How much power do they really have over Hamas?

🔹 The seven-front war—can Israel afford to focus on one enemy, or is every front a potential disaster?

🔹 What happens if Hamas survives?—the stakes of failing to finish the job.
