Overview

• Hamas leaders plan to proceed with talks seeking an immediate ceasefire and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, with contacts to resume once security conditions allow.
• An Israeli strike in Doha killed six Hamas members during discussions, and Qatar held funerals for the dead, who were not part of the group’s top political leadership.
• Hamas accused the United States of complicity in the operation, while President Donald Trump said he was very displeased and that his envoy’s warning reached Qatar too late to stop the attack.
• Saudi Arabia’s crown prince called for an Arab, Islamic and international response, the UAE’s leader said the strike violated international law, and Qatar’s prime minister called it state terrorism.
• Egypt has engaged Washington on restarting mediation and has offered to host and guarantee security for Palestinian faction leaders, according to Al Akhbar, as Benjamin Netanyahu warned states hosting Hamas to expel its leaders or face further Israeli action.
