“It was a deal that Israel accepted and the world was behind. Hamas could have answered with a single word: ‘Yes,’” Secretary of State Antony Blinken fumed to reporters in Doha last week — exposing himself as either an utter cynic or a total fool.

Hamas doesn’t want a deal, except one where Israel just gives up.

And if Blinken doesn’t know that, then he’s not getting the basic info he should, not from US intelligence nor even from whoever’s in charge of getting him essential press clippings.

Two days before Blinken chastised Hamas, The Wall Street Journal revealed private correspondence of the terror group’s military chief in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.

Sinwar admits openly that he wants more Palestinian casualties. They are “necessary sacrifices” that will “infuse life into the veins of this nation, prompting it to rise to its glory and honor.”

More, more, more deaths mean that Sinwar and his genocidal crew “have the Israelis right where we want them.”

Nor are the Hamas political chiefs, ensconced in their four-star lodgings in Qatar, in any position to disagree with him, since he’s simply applying the terror outfit’s long-held principles.

US spy agencies are supposed to be awesome at “signals intelligence,” intercepting communications; did they somehow fail to get this stuff, or did someone decide to keep it from Blinken and the entire US high command?

Or is he just pretending not to know, because publicly chasing a cease-fire deal that he knows will never come is that important to President Biden?

Heck, we’re not sure Biden got this info (or, sigh, remembered it if he did).

Making this all the worse is that Sinwar’s horrific strategy only works because of outside enablers. 

Like the high EU and UN officials who sputter with outrage when Israel rescues hostages.

And the International Criminal Court, seeking arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. 

And all the media that play along, as well as the Hamas sympathizers menacing Jews around the nation. 

But Blinken and Biden bear the chief blame, for doing everything in their power to hinder Israel’s humane and justified counterattack against Hamas almost from the start.

Biden’s doing this — and pushing peace plan after peace plan — to win votes from the lefty segment of his base. 

Sacrificing Israel to the genocidaires, in other words, to win in November. 

The Sinwar revelations show the world his plan will be an utter bust: Hamas ain’t interested. 

All this demands immediate action in Congress: Did the intel community fail to get the goods here, or fail to share them?

Have Biden, Blinken and/or National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan simply decided to ignore them?  

The Republicans who run the House should be all over this, but so should Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who’s always claimed to be Israel’s No. 1 defender.

If Chuck doesn’t raise holy hell over this, he goes down in history along with Joe, Tony and Jake as Israel’s greatest betrayer.
