You could have just linked to the underlying source, Fox News.

"For many years now, both the United States and Israel have been living in a policy fantasy world where we have tolerated Hamas' existence in Doha and believed that Doha would be a moderating influence," Richard Goldberg, the coordinator for the Trump administration’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran, told Fox News Digital.

I believe that to the extent that Richard Goldberg was responsible for Trump's Iran policy, that's a severe indictment of his qualifications on anything.

"The presence of the Hamas office shouldn’t be confused with endorsement but rather establishes an important channel for indirect communication," the minister wrote.

The Qatari Hamas liaison office has played a role in helping secure the release of 50 hostages in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners and a four-day ceasefire. Qatar first announced the agreement once both parties had finalized it last week.

Sounds like this was good thing then. No?

Looks like your other post was removed, which I honestly don't agree with, although I would describe this story as clear propaganda attempting to put "Obama" and "Hamas" and "shocking revelation" all in the same sentence.

Notice how these tend to roll out more aggressively right before an election every cycle?

I'm also not shocked to learn that he's uninterested in talking with me about it. Just fire and forget.

I'm honestly very much against "This is obviously BS, from my point of view, and so we'll remove it" as a moderation technique, but @jason235 this type of post makes me sympathize with that approach, since it seems to be quite clearly posted in bad faith.
