Think there's anything to it?
I don’t know, but when I think about who would most want to derail an Israeli-Saudi deal, Iran comes to mind.

You think this is about stopping a Saudi-Israeli deal? Or something to do with internal politics?

Other acts of provocation that led to the attack as a retaliation?

This guy may blame Russia, but even if Russia wants to create chaos, Hamas still has to actively participate to get to this point.

That might be a lexical slide due to the pandemic. People started to use "meet" in quotes to describe video calls, and I've been noticing more and more people saying fuck it to the quotes and just saying meet.

It’s possible however I believe they could have been trained by other source just as easily. Don’t forget that in the turmoil of the Syrian civil war there were not only Russians but Muslim “volunteers” from all over who had received military training from abroad. However in the case of Hamas, the Chechens come immediately to mind since they are Sunnis and therefore closer to Hamas than say, Hezbollah which is Shi’ite.

Well, it quiets the opposition for a while but this is one of the biggest Israeli intelligence failures in decades and it’s on his watch.

- It is $6B.
- Qatar is/has released it to Iran, if I understand correctly.
- It is supposedly for humanitarian aid. If you believe that, stand on your head and wiggle your ears.

You understand incorrectly. It is held in restricted accounts in Qatar, spending is limited to humanitarian purposes and the international community, including the US, has oversight of how they get spent. None have been spent yet, so even the fungibility argument won’t work yet.
I’m afraid this war just might not be very useful as a domestic political cudgel. Heck, at some point you might just have to comment on the war itself.
