Israel bombs Qatar
Hamas's leadership has survived Israeli air strikes in the Qatari capital Doha on Tuesday.
A source close to the Palestinian movement told Middle East Eye that all senior leaders targeted in the attack survived, including Khalil al-Hayya, Khaled Meshal, Zaher Jabarin, and others.
They were meeting to discuss the latest US ceasefire proposal for Gaza, presented to Hamas in recent days.
The attack killed Khalil al-Hayya’s son, Hammam al-Hayya, and his office director, Jihad Lubbad, according to sources. Several others were wounded.
Saudi Arabia, after granting Israeli jets clearance to use its airspace, has condemned the Israeli strikes on Doha. The question for the Gulf is: Will the UAE and Bahrain sever relations with Israel and revoke the peace agreement after Israel’s violation of the sovereignty of a member state of the Gulf Cooperation Council?
“The Trump administration was notified by the United States military that Israel was attacking Hamas, which very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar,” White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
“Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace does not advance Israel or America’s goals,” she said. “However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal.”
Leavitt added that Trump directed his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, to “inform the Qataris of the impending attack”.
However, Qatar refuted the characterisation, with a spokesperson for the foreign ministry saying claims that the government had been “pre-informed of the attack are completely false”.
From Yemen spokesperson: The Israeli attack on Doha will be repeated—and on a larger scale—across the region if we do not unite to confront the Zionist threat.
In the last 24 hours, Israel has bombed at least five countries and territories in the region: Tunisia, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and now Qatar.
When does the world shut down Israel's genocidal actions and kick them out of the United Nations?
